Yeah, but CA is *still* not as silly as the UK. The UK reports that temperatures are going to plunge this year, with the sub-headlines being that "IPCC Seriously Underplays Climate Change" and "Climate Change Will Spark Global Conflict.

Good thing we're here in the US, except for the freezing temperatures. This past year was colder than it's been in a century.

For the contiguous United States, the average temperature for March was 42°F (6°C), which was 0.4°F (0.2°C) below the 20th century mean and ranked as the 52nd coolest March on record, based on preliminary data.

Wow...just wow. And they say we're stupid for spending money on the Iraq war? Anyway, glad I don't live in California.

Public school in Minnesota. English taught as a second language, Arabic mandatory. Washing rituals. Mandatory prayer times and afterschool Islamic studies. No US flag flying, despite a state law requiring it, because the principal "didn't know how to work the flagpole."

Screw the douchebags running California. I hope the people forcibly remove their government for doing retarded crap like this. Gonna laugh my ass off when they have to shut down their boondoggle cause of Global Cooling caused by the new Solar Minima Cycle starting now....

GW is about the stupidest thing ever. Why does all the proof exist in the mountains or in Alaskan settlements. Show me real examples of GW, not this silly stuff, Jeeze Louise show me, not anecdotal. Show me, before it is too late.

GW is the ultimate "Big Lie." Make up a lie, repeat it often enough, and a significant portion of the population will believe it.

umm do you mean like "war on terror" lie?

Colorado has an even almost-as-stupid scheme to shakedown the naive for a "Carbon Fund" to enrich the state government.

At least money spend on the military ends up in the pockets of soldiers and defense industry workers. Defense work is one of the few high paying jobs left.

Money spent on research for the Global Warming scam just ends up in the pockets of clowns like Al Gore and George Soros (who once again is spending bookoo bucks on trying to buy the 2008 election). Soros was really steamed when he failed in 2004; this time its personal!

In Australia, a new moonbat commandment: Thou Shalt Not Criticize Idiotic Global Warming Stunts. For to do so is Heresy against the Church of Gaia.

The economy must be doing better then we realize.
600 mil is a lot of money!
Every time I observe the record highs on the news they are usually back in the early 1900's or late 1800's. Must have been those coal burning factories and English chimneys heating the earth.

Right! Islamic literalists killing and threatening people every single day based upon their religious teachings might not be real, but a theory based on computer models and alleged fractions of a degree in "global temperature" is definitely real! Never mind that even the True Believers admit temperatures went down last year. I guess jihadists stopped killing people last year too, er, I mean, they never were killing people, right?

One thing is for certain - this monstrosity will not do research on global warming. The issue is closed, and the "research" will focus on how to spend money.

"The new institute, which will seek matching funds to expand its reach, will administer research grants; work to transfer technologies to commercial businesses; and develop a related workforce for these companies."

The liberals will be outraged that big, evil companies are being susidized by receiving free technology and money to "develop a related workforce". Corporate welfare, I say!

Well, maybe the libs won't mind being scammed because it's for "green" stuff.

This is my favorite line:

"Broad-based taxpayer financing would certainly be preferable," he said.

Isn't it always?

The Goracle Admits: I'm in this for the money.

forest, respectfully, there is no point in even attempting to argue with people who too stupid or too in denial to admit that Islamic terrorism exists. Much less those who are too craven to even put their name next to their idiot comments.

The Goracle has made millions, and GE stands to make tons of money making lightbulbs that don't make much light but will "save the environment" and I just be the Goracle gets kickbacks from all the "GreenNazi Industries" that Create products that the GW Nazis will force us to use. And libtards imply Conservatives are "profiteers" and ignore their own criminals bilking the public.

I agree H.A.M., and it looks like utilitiy companies and maybe GE etc are going to get free R&D and employees out of this deal. It's billed as "research", but it sounds more like subsidies to me.

The companies will love the expensive, inefficient "solutions", because they will get paid to develop them, then get paid again to sell expensive energy and lightbulbs etc. It's a perfect racket.

And I suppose in the old days, this kind of racket would run the risk of being exposed by the media, but now the media are the main advocates for this crap - especially GE's NBC outlets. Very sweet deal for them.

Regarding the research center, there's nothing like doing "research" on a subject that is a foregone conclusion. Do ya think they'll find evidence of global warming?

This isn't science. This is the spending of our money to keep the great AGW swindle afloat, so that they can take even more of our money. Lots more.

"umm do you mean like "war on terror" lie?"

Anony, the MUSLIM war has been going on for CENTURIES, we just didn't know about it untill September 11, 2001. It's morons (Or "morans", as we say here) like yourself who refuse to let the free nations fight it, yet excuse ANYTHING the muslims do against peace-loving people.
If you really hate war, you would demand that the MUSLIMS give up their primative, WAR-MONGERING ways. But then again, it's people like you who didn't see anything wrong with the COMMUNISTS expanding their influence through warfare, infiltration and propiganda.

Amen to that KHarn. I guess when the extremists knock on the liberals front door, wanting to take their underaged daughters and sons for fun and games and a few of them are found minus their heads, or they have to go to the mall to pluck what is left of their loved ones from rubble left behind from some idiot who strapped on a bomb and praised Allah before detonation, it will all be "Real" to them... oh wait, they will be dead or in a state of profound shock, won't they? I am soooo sick of liberal denial and the world according to fantasy fiction. When I was a child, I was never around such people, so I guess I'm still reeling from the shock.

I still can't believe that Al Gore has started a carbon-neutral hummer club.

WTF!!!

With all the money the left is spending on "global warming" they could have built a company that sold cars run on grease or spent it on R&D, but I guess liberals are too stupid to figure that out.
