Change of Tune: No Need to Panic About Global Warming
"The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't."
the recent warming is not unusual in the context of climate changes over the past thousand years
a good place to start is the old question "cui bono?" Or the modern update, "Follow the money."
There is no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to "decarbonize" the world's economy. Even if one accepts the inflated climate forecasts of the IPCC, aggressive greenhouse-gas control policies are not justified economically.
WSJ Editor's Note: The following has been signed by the 16 scientists listed at the end of the article:
A candidate for public office in any contemporary democracy may have to consider what, if anything, to do about "global warming." Candidates should understand that the oft-repeated claim that nearly all scientists demand that something dramatic be done to stop global warming is not true. In fact, a large and growing number of distinguished scientists and engineers do not agree that drastic actions on global warming are needed.

Update: http://abcn.ws/pP6F4B
Man took a fatal fall after being tossed a foul ball by Rangers' Josh Hamilton.
"A Texas baseball fan fell 20 feet to his death after reaching over a barricade for a ball tossed to the crowd by an all-star player, with former President George W. Bush in attendance.
Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton has said that he is " very distraught" after the man fell head first at the Arlingtion stadium. The married man's son was with him and witnessed the incident, according to the Associated Press.
Arlington Fire Department officials said the man, who witnesses said was conscious after the fall, "went into full arrest" while being transported by ambulance. He was pronounced dead at a Fort Worth hospital less than an hour after he fell, the AP reported."
