The gummit obviously wants apocalypse to be on its side in passing new regulations that will have no measurable effect on GW, this the latest effort. "Global warming" has lost its lustre. "Climate change" isn't getting the job done. So, let's try "extreme" weather events. Next comes famine, pestilence, war, and death. We just need some colored horses to accompany the reports.
1. This is about politics, namely new job killing regs and satisfying certain constituencies.
2. Gummit pours enough money into the GW industry to indirectly control it's products.
3. The US output of emissions is meaningless on a global scale and nothing we do will impact the alleged problem.
4. Scientists, God love 'em, are no less subject to group think than politicians or clergy.
