He's our H.L. Mencken, IMO.

I wish there were some way to “short” Global Warming. I’d make a fortune!

Brilliant. He can take a complex series of scholarly mistakes that most people would need a hundred footnotes to unravel, and put it all together so that it’s not only perfectly clear what happened, but it’s fun to read.

Bravo, Mark! And I say that with the best English accent I can imitate (and all due respect).

The WWF is a pressure group. Theyre not scientists. Theyre not even numerate: one of their more startling glacier-melt claims derives entirely from an arithmetical miscalculation arising from a typing error.LOL!

For a Texan like myself, readin’ Steyn, is a much more relaxed and entertaining endeavor than hearin’ Steyn. :)

As they say in the glacier business, ice work if you can get it. LOL. Styne's pen really is mightier than the sword. The guy has a wonderful gift for turning phrases.
Creative, funny, and a damn good and very concise thinker.

"By 2008, Syed Hasnains decade-old casual chit-chat over the phone to a London journalist had become settled science, so Dr. Pachauris company TERI (The Energy & Resources Institute) approached the Carnegie Corporation for a grant to research challenges to South Asia posed by melting Himalayan glaciers, and was rewarded with half a million bucks. Which they promptly used to hire Syed Hasnain. In other words, professor Hasnain has landed a cushy gig researching solutions to an entirely non-existent global crisis he accidentally invented over a 15-minute phone call 10 years earlier. As they say in the glacier business, ice work if you can get it. "Mencken is a great comparison.
Steyn has it all. Brilliant, acerbic, brutally honest wit.

We’re still seeing lots of corporations advertising their green credentials on what they are doing to combat climate change. I just saw one this evening on Fox Business from Siemens Company. I have no idea what they do, but I am tempted to e-mail them and ask them why they haven’t heard yet that climate change is a hoax.

This piece has so much content, factually correct, artfully presented, with a unique perspective, with wit, flowing prose, and on and on.
Mark Steyn makes all the other pundits look like so plodding.

We recently bought a hybrid car and we are looking into solar to help with our electricity. No, we aren't doing it to be Green. We are doing it to save money. The Green Movement has tarnished the name of good and smart Conservatives who are simply moneywise. Love Steyn.

Climate change is not a story of climate change, which has been a fact of life throughout our planets history. It is a far more contemporary story about the corruption of science and peer review by hucksters, opportunists and global-government control-freaks. Steyn rules. Moonbats drool..

Steyn is the best. Krauthammer can keep up with him in analytical ability, but Steyn combines that with the best writing, bar none.
