It does make me want to talk some sense into the heads of these AGW twits. The president and his EPA are forcing coal-fired power plants to close without first allowing them to build a replacement. BTW, solar and wind cannot replace coal, as a base load electrical power generation.
On top of that, the power companies that own these coal plants still have to pay back hundreds of millions in loans they made, to install upgrades, that the EPA mandated during the Bush admin. If we drive our power companies into a financially distressed position, then who is going to finance the research, development and construction to create the energy needs of the future, if our government is busy driving them into near bankruptcy today?
The EPA claims that OG&E failed to estimate emissions that did not occur. They are suing OG&E in an effort to force the company “to assess whether its projects were likely to result in a significant [GHG] emissions increase.”
The EPA had no authority to regulate GHG emissions when the work was done (2003 & 2006). The work (on boilers and turbine blade replacements) caused no emissions increase.
Are they just that stupid or is there some ulterior political motive at hand? Either way, the people get the short end of the stick.

Don't forget the oil drilling that was stalled, because the oil company failed to include an estimate on how much GHG would be emitted by the ice breaker ships. The EPA is full of loons, and if we had a congress that gave a rat's ass, they would neuter the damn agency, posthaste.
I cited the USGS. If you think that's junk science, your teachers have failed. They should commit seppuku.

When evidence is produced that contradicts the lie, they make claims like that wasn't a published and peer reviewed paper, even though I can ASSURE you that any paper that contradicts claims made by the AGW crowd is the most heavily scrutinized and verified paper out there.
Assurances mean nothing. I can assure you I'm Buttercup Powerpuff, that doesn't make it so. Prove your claim.

A lot of Obama's base are cigarette smokers, yep, how many democrats or liberals have a lit cigarette in the tray, yea, puffin away, sucking in that carbon monoxide as you defend global warming.
No, it's another example of how badly informed you right-wingers are. I'm assuming you guys post in honest, correctable ignorance rather than out of typical right-wing dishonesty because I'm a nice guy. Don't forget it.

I am right, you are wrong, why just ask me! /boggle
Nothing new about natural crude or gas leaking from sea bed or even ground. For years now some have used that to explain possible reason ships disappeared on ocean. Crude was first discovered after noticing crude pools on ground in Penn. Then they drilled for it.
This study presents the dependency of the simulation results from a global atmospheric numerical model on machines with different hardware and software systems. The global model program (GMP) of the Global/Regional Integrated Model system (GRIMs) is tested on 10 different computer systems having different central processing unit (CPU) architectures or compilers. There exist differences in the results for different compilers, parallel libraries, and optimization levels, primarily due to the treatment of rounding errors by the different software systems. The system dependency, which is the standard deviation of the 500-hPa geopotential height averaged over the globe, increases with time. However, its fractional tendency, which is the change of the standard deviation relative to the value itself, remains nearly zero with time. In a seasonal prediction framework, the ensemble spread due to the differences in software system is comparable to the ensemble spread due to the differences in initial conditions that is used for the traditional ensemble forecasting.
