Gore: 'We cannot continue to allow the fossil fuel industry or any industry to treat our atmosphere like an open sewer or mislead the public about the impact they have on the health of our people and the health of our planet.'

Attorney's General: The 'ongoing and potential investigations into whether fossil fuel companies misled investors and the public on the impact of climate change on their businesses.'

Will: 'Climate alarmism validates the progressive impulse to micromanage others' lives -- their light bulbs, showerheads, toilets, appliances, automobiles, etc.  Although this is a nuisance, it distracts liberals from more serious mischief.'

Will on alleged 97% climate 'consensus':'When a Nazi publishing company produced '100 Authors Against Einstein,' the target of this argument-by-cumulation replied: 'Were I wrong, one professor would have been quite enough.'

'What does a study of 20 years of abstracts tell us about the global climate? Nothing. But it says quite a lot about the way government funding influences the scientific process...New paper confounds climate research with financial forces, is based on the wrong assumptions, uses fallacious reasoning, wasn’t independent, and confuses a consensus of climate scientists for a scientific consensus, not that a consensus proves anything anyway, if it existed. Given the monopolistic funding of climate science in the last 20 years, the results he finds are entirely predictable' -- 'The number of papers is a proxy for funding': 'As government funding grew, scientists redirected their work to study areas that attracted grants. It’s no conspiracy, just Adam Smith at work. There was no funding for skeptical scientists to question the IPCC or the theory that man-made climate science exaggerates the warming. More than $79 billion was poured into climate science research and technology from 1989 to 2009. No wonder scientists issued repetitive, irrelevant, and weak results. How hard could it be? Taxpayers even paid for research on climate resistant oysters. Let no barnacle be unturned'

Flashback 2011: Morano responds to Wash. Post about posting emails: 'Public outcry against these scientists and their tactics is a very healthy and welcome development....When climate con men like Oppenheimer, Hansen, Santer, Mann, Ehrlich and Trenberth squelch debate and use the media to promote their insular views on climate, responding in toned down language should not be a top concern'
