So all this Kyoto and CO2 and the SUV taxes are the doing of this person and the New York Times. Is this a pseudonym of Osama? [They seem to use pseudonyms a lot.]
Alan's words of wisdom are very explicit when he covers the constant lies of the "NY Slimes":
Only a fool would read The New York Times expecting the truth. It is the American version of the former Soviet Union's Pravda, a newspaper published to deceive Russians into believing Communism was the future. That lie crashed along with the Berlin Wall. The Times needs to change its motto to "All the lies we deem fit to print."
We all need to bookmark this great oped to have ready when someone tries to post Bravo Sierra from the Slimes as reality.
This would be neat to have at every school:

The article "Alaska, No Longer So Frigid, Starts to Crack, Burn, and Sag" written by Timothy Egan, stated that the average temperature has risen seven degrees in the last 30 years. This statement was repeated in an editorial by Bob Herbert of 24 June 2002. This statement is incorrect. The correct warming for Alaska is about 1/3 of the quoted amount for the last climatological mean 1971 to 2000 (see table below). It should be pointed out that the table presents data from first class weather stations, which are professionaly maintained and generate high quality data. The three stations, Barrow, Fairbanks, and Anchorage, represent a cross section of Alaska from north to south. Further, Barrow, situated in Northern Alaska, which gave the largest temperature increase, is the only long-term first class meteorological weather station in Northern Alaska. All changes are based upon the time period 1971 to 2000 and are compiled from a linear trend.
