As if ClimateGate wasn’t bad enough, the climate politicos in Cancun are amidst record cold temperatures. The Gore Effect, of course, is the inconvenient coincidence that when Al Gore attends a conference to give a climate speech, cold spells and freak snow storms attend. He is not even there this time.
Global temperatures seem to have flatlined over the past decade, despite increases in Co2. The Cancun conference has little hope of changing the political climate, which is decidedly chilling against the concept of hampering economic growth to limit Co2 emissions. Instead it seems to be devolving into demands by the third-world for “climate justice” – meaning transfer payments from the developed world. See picture below.
While the climate parade marches into irrelevance, we do see progress on solving real problems, particularly rotating the fleet from oil to electricity. The electric car momentum continues, with Tesla Motor’s (TSLA) stock remaining buoyant and expectations for the Chevy Volt still high.

Oh, I know, you really gotta live for today. Screw tomorrow. TODAY I tell ya!! Don’t worry about the environment, it’ll fix itself! Just like the GOP, which is doing a great job of pulling America down into the flames… I love how you conservative people like to claim that climate change is phony because “nothin’s changed in a few years hyuk hyuk”—totally ignoring the oodles of photographs, scientific evidence to the contrary, and the current mathematical models which give us a decades-long cycle. And then, pasting in a weather report as an article! Wow, that is some really *keen* journalism, I gotta tell you.
us conservative people dont say nothings changed we say it's been getting colder not warmer in the last 10 years. by the way the real honest scientists admit it too. the difference between us and you is we dont follow someone just because they say something. we actually use the brain god gave us and thats right god gave us. you know the creator. by the way merry christmas oh i mean happy holiday is the progressive way.
"us conservative people dont say nothings changed we say it's been getting colder not warmer in the last 10 years."
And the fact that you say things like that is why you have no credibility on the issue: 2000-2009 was the warmest decade on record, surpassing the previous record set by the 1990s, which itself supplanted the 1980s as the warmest decade on record at that time.
But please, share some data from those "real honnest scientists" you refer to. And Merry Christmas–I hope you don't get a sunburn during the holiday season. http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/
They Always Change The Names , But The Game Stays The Same
Maybe one day even conservatives will be able to differentiate between weather and climate. Sigh. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn11462-clima…

It's called irony. Ever heard of it?
