Peddlers of phony scare stories are afraid to release data
By THE WASHINGTON TIMES
7:17 p.m., Wednesday, July 21, 2010

Environment: A federal agency is reporting that the world has just had its warmest June on record and the agency’s climate chief is blaming man for the increasing heat. And he would know … wouldn’t he?

Washington didn’t grind to a sweaty halt last week under triple-digit temperatures. People didn’t even slow down. Instead, the three-day, 100-plus-degree, record-shattering heat wave prompted Washingtonians to crank up their favorite humidity-reducing, electricity-bill-busting, fluorocarbon-filled appliance: the air conditioner.
This isn’t smart. In a country that’s among the world’s highest greenhouse-gas [...]

By THE WASHINGTON TIMES
