Ladies and gentlemen, I present the "hockey stick explained":

Of course the article still attacks the use of natural gas.
"What it shows is that if you make a cleaner energy source cheaper, you will displace dirtier sources," said Roger Pielke Jr., a climate expert at the University of Colorado ... "
Of course the AGW phonies had nothing to do with making natural gas cheaper. And while the statement should be trueconomically, my local electricity bills -- already very high -- get higher and higher in line with Obama's promise that they would. The gas price may be cheaper to utilities but they're still screwing their customers.
>>true economically speaking<< that should be.
Pfffft. And these are the "brainiacs" we're supposed to trust to "save" us all from GW.....
And here we thought CO2 was responsible for global warming! Not possible since we're at a 20 year low and have the hottest summer on record here in Illinois!
Stop right there. Isn't he the same "scientist" that was completely discredited because of some email leaks? ROFL!! Yep, one and the same!
that Penn State is a helluva place, ain’t it?
The Electric companies have billions of dollars invested in retrofitting old coal plants to Natural Gas, or in most cases closing those coal fired plants and building new gas fired plants.
Even with the massive increase in known reserves and the technology to extract it at low cost, Coal is only more expensive to use because of the burdensome and retrograde regulations of CO2 sequestration and storage requirements.
This is an EPA scam and your electric bill shows it.
All the money used to retrofit and build new gas plants to replace very efficient and inexpensive coal plants is money NOT spent on pour aging and inferior electric grid.
BTW WHY IS Mike Mann Still employed after his proved fraud.
The sameone that thought that climate science could be explained with a “hokey stick”.
No!
“trueconomically”
I like it!
Yes, but before Roger goes too far, we need to clarify. This does not mean that hiking the prices on "dirty" fuels is equally good as dropping the prices on clean fuel. Artificially raising prices only causes us to be less competative in the global marketplace. Dropping prices on any fuel is good for us globally.
Gee, could it be that economic activity is at a 20 yr. low too? Related? Nah/s
Ladies and gentlemen, I present the "hockey stick explained":
The happy thing history will record is that Mann is a AGW tool and not his “hockey stick”.
The evil BushCheneyRove and the eeevvviiiilll Koch Brothers musta had a lot of evil SUV’s running around at the time of the Norman Invasion.
Obama killed the economy...so no one is producing anything and there’s no energy being consumed. That’s why CO2 emissions went down so fast.
THANK YOU! You saved me from having to make the same point. Artificially hiking prices on any product introduces market distortions often leading to bad unintended consequences.
Bush’s fault!
Might as well blame him for this also.
What? The free market solved the non-problem? NO WAY!
Scientists think they can get real co2 measurements over a span of years AND KNOW HOW TO RELATE THEM???...They’re full of cr**.
