“Ideas like “Iraq is a quagmire” — and many other arguments popular on the Left or the Right — are very resistant to extinction; they adapt to storms by injecting more energy, in the shape of other “facts” into the debate; by changing the frame of reference or making a larger prediction further into the future.”

Or they change the data to support their “facts”

Problem for the AGW is the real energy source for the planet doesn’t seem to want to play by their expectations.

The sun remains free of sunspots and most solar scientists are now predicting a very quiet sun for the near term. If the trend continues the AGW crowd is going to have some serious explaning to do as global temperatures behind to fall. Hopefully their enabling politicians will get a swift boot up their backside by the angry voters once they realize that the “CO2-is-a-threat” hoax was a scam that lead to both high energy and food prices as well as higher taxes and useless regulations. One can dream.
