Ok...let me recap and comment on what you just posted (and I will assume that these are accurate
transcriptions of IPCC items by Lord Monckton via your citation):
1. None of the (scientific) studies cited above has shown clear evidence that we can attribute the observed (climate) changes to the specific cause of increases in greenhouse gases. Source, IPCC, 1995 .
So,...

Thank you. An interesting article to see in the NYT.
Regarding your statements - quote:
(1) "I bolded the most important part. We cannot rely on
members of Congress by themselves to reign in spending. They will always vote to spend more because their individual interest is staying in office. I don't believe it matters who you vote in. Someone who gets a...

Nancy Pelosi, Henry Reed, and President Obama for providing the funds to fix some of the local highways here. My state is facing a huge deficit and would not otherwise be able to repair these roads.

The United States has massive problems that built up over decades. I never expected Obama to repair everything in the first six months of his presidency.
If anything, the article speaks to the general impatience of the public. The 24/7, ultra-capitalist, magic-pill, hyper-materialist, ADHD,
