I still read Rachel Lucas. She found this over at Newsbusters:

John Coleman, founder of The Weather Channel:

It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create in [sic] allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.

Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild “scientific” scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmental conscientious citizens.

Emphasis from Newsbusters…I think.

I had a long rant here but it turned into a diatribe about how we’ve had the Department of Energy for the past 31 years and how the hell do we not have cheap, efficient, clean energy by now…but it was too depressing. We put a man on the moon less than a decade after President Kennedy set that goal, but three decades after President Carter set up the Department of Energy, things are no better than they were, and in many ways they’re worse.
