Is Global Warming a Bipolar Disorder? | Patrick J. Michaels | Cato Institute: Commentary
Is Global Warming a Bipolar Disorder? | Patrick J. Michaels | Cato Institute: Commentary: 'We now have a full one-third of a century of satellite-measured lower atmospheric temperatures, and what an interesting story the machines are revealing. I think it’s fair to say that they provide increasing evidence in favor of the “lukewarm” view of climate change, or the hypothesis of modest warming. In climate change, “it’s not the heat, it’s the sensitivity”, or the amount of warming that a change in carbon dioxide causes, that is important.'
'For a number of reasons, computer models with added atmospheric carbon dioxide preferentially warm the mid-and high-latitude land areas of the northern hemisphere that are ice-free, which also enhances summer melting of the relatively shallow ice in the Arctic Ocean. That, in turn, results in an increased absorption of solar radiation by the darker ocean surface, which also contributes to warming.'

A Sustainable Depression | Patrick J. Michaels | Cato Institute: Commentary
A Sustainable Depression | Patrick J. Michaels | Cato Institute: Commentary: 'If the Dow fell 85 percent, most folks would call that a depression. So why doesn't that apply to the "sustainable" energy business — mainly solar and wind power — where shares have fallen an average of 85 percent to 90 percent, even excluding the bankrupt Solyndras, Evergreens and Solons? This depression is global, hitting Chinese Suntech, the world's largest producer of solar panels, as well. Suntech has seen its shares plunge 88 percent.'
2nd Amendment Voters Should Vote RON PAUL
2nd Amendment Voters Should Vote RON PAUL: Mitt Romney said 'I likewise support the right of law abiding citizens to be able to purchase firearms for hunting purposes and target practice and so forth. We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts. I support them. I won’t chip away at them. I believe they help protect us and provide for our safety, but I want our law abiding citizens likewise to have the right to purchase and use a weapon for hunting and other purposes.'
'When [Gringrich] was Speaker of the House during the latter half of the Clinton years, he never agreed to support legislation to repeal the Clinton “assault weapons ban.” He even called it a “very reasonable position.”'
Is Ron Paul really the only candidate that supports your rights to preserve your life? The article mentions Romney and Gingrich but what about the other candidates?
