We’re posting two articles today:   one on scientific disagreements about  global warming, and the second about the Obama Administration’s “green” defense policy.

The first article: World may not be warming, is typical of what you will read on the science of this issue.  There is increasing doubt surfacing about the basic science underpinning the global warming theory.  Typically, the proponents of the theory respond to critics by saying that in fact they are as certain as ever about the science, and then a technical back and forth ensues among the experts.  This is why I caution so strongly against taking climate change measures that hurt our own economy.  The scientific opinion on this issue is in flux, and we don’t want to ship millions of American jobs overseas to stop a problem that science may soon decide doesn’t really exist.

The second article refers to the “Quadrennial Defense Review” (QDR), which is the Department of Defense’s foremost defense planning document, issued every four years.  The Obama Administration’s QDR mentions “climate change” more often than it mentions North Korea, Russia, and China put together.  What that says about the current risk assessment in Washington is obvious.
