"Chicken Littles can't cluck away climate facts"
TribLive.com posted this within their story about the soon to be released U.N report on climate change:
"But even the loudest clucking can't drown out contrary facts. U.S. temperatures haven't risen in a decade. Global temperatures have been flat for 17 years. Prior warming was within natural variability. The IPCC's main greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, isn't a pollutant. And humanity's climate impact is negligible, so top-down 'solutions' are pointless and economically harmful, as shown by Australia repealing its carbon tax in favor of voluntary clean-energy incentives.
Still, there's value in this draft report. It shows how much at odds with reality the IPCC is — and how far climate science is from being 'settled.'"
