NAM Nails “Self-Absorption” of Anti-Coal Crowd
One gathers from the links that the Capitol Climate Action blogger attributes the droughts to global warming. But that’s a pretty dumb unpersuasive argument to make on a snowy day in Washington at the end of an unusually cold winter.
Meanwhile, the increasingly erratic James Hansen of NASA issues a “call to action” against coal in a video posted at the blog, headlined, “Dr. James Hansen on coal, civil disobedience.”
For those brave souls in DC, don’t forget the pro-coal demonstration intended to remind the public (and, hopefully, their surrogate, the media) about the positives of inexpensive access to domestic energy. Sheesh — it shouldn’t be so much work to point out the obvious.




Er, so there was a cold, snow day in DC. There are still a lot fewer than there used to be. And temperatures in the lower 48 are higher than they were.
