It hasn’t been an all-together good week for global warming alarmists. We wanted to highlight a couple of small items we were alerted to by Marc Morano of ClimateDepot.com.

First, of course, is the news that James Hansen — alarmist extraordinaire — has decried the Waxman-Markey cap and trade bill as “a monstrous absurdity…less than worthless!” We’ve noted Mr. Hansen’s preference for a carbon tax (the lesser of evils, we would say), but this is a strong rebuke to the absurdity and obscenity of the House’s recently passed legislation.

Then, of course, there was Al Gore’s week weak. In a short period of time he managed to claim the U.S. Climate Bill Will Help Bring About ‘Global Governance.” And then there was that high point of civil discourse in which His Furor likened the alarmist notion of global warming to the threat posed by the Nazis.

Just like we wouldn’t want to call the bottom in the stock market, we won’t officially declare this week the high point of the global warming hysteria fever. But if there’s a global warming shark, consider it jumped.
