Senator Hillary Clinton says that if elected president she will promptly commit the United States to a Kyoto Protocol “Round II”.  She would strike a deal in 2010, which she says, somehow accelerates global salvation because, though Kyoto expires at the end of 2012, “we cannot afford to wait two more years.” Of course.  Voters can’t be swindled into anything as bad as Kyoto: they have to be stampeded.

A bureaucrat in Washington has decided to spend $89,000 of your tax dollars to make himself and like-minded souls on Capitol Hill feel better.

This week, the United Nations' climate scientists will release a major report synthesising the world's best global warming research.

Its about time someone called the celeboticians from Hollywood on their hypocrisy. This editorial from the Harvard Crimson points out the difference between what our movie stars gone activists do, and what they tell other people to do.
