My take was that the climate nonsense was a prelude to post-election loosening the "reign" on frakking, allowing more job creation, more gas, more turbine construction, more replacement of coal-fired generation plants with gas-fired at half?? the CO2 emissions.
In our present political climate, few things can be done simply because they are a good idea. If the eco-nuts see that more frakking will lead to carbon emission reductions, maybe they'll relax their luddite view of the thing.
Obama is quite skilled at lip-service and choosing his fights.
Too true. Wife informs me BBC about to trumpet their Professor Peter Wadhams Arctic melt scare imminently on the 10o/c news et al, despite Lilley socking it to Paxo!
Its all a mainstream political left-right battleground now.
@Pharos "Wife informs me BBC about to trumpet their Professor Peter Wadhams Arctic melt scare imminently on the 10o/c news et al, despite Lilley socking it to Paxo!"
Let us not forget, Pharos, that having been born in October 1922, the BBC is close to being a nonagenarian.
Despite clear signs of cerebral senility with the present organism, encumbered as it is by the malignant influences of internal actors, let us never forget the debt that we, and the rest of the world, owe to dear old Auntie!
Yes, it is sad to see the old lady diminished by time, her faculties shrunken to a tiny shadow of her former greatness but the divine grace of the Grim Reaper will soon transport her to another world where she can sup again at the long table, restored to her former magnificience, with the other worthies of our past.
As much as we will mourn her passing we will be uplifted by our cry.
"The BBC is dead. Long Live the BBC" Ok, fantasy over. Let's just sack the b****rs

Priceless! Well done Josh.
Josh's acumen for political lampoonery just has to be spotted by the MSM soon.

Pharos... I agree with you but it will take a total about face before that happens. Exhale now...in other words, don't hold your breath!
Eric H. Josh hits the nail on the head again!
Kim..I feel a Haiku coming on...please.

Cartoon site xkcd nails "sustainability"...
"If the trend continues then by 2109 all sentences are just the word 'sustainable' repeated over and over"

Before I get accused, by some, of racial hatred let me make it quite clear that I have no antipathy to Bulgarians or their descendents whatsoever!
Great cartoon Josh. The chat show President's first act was to close Gitmo wasn't it? Well it's been 4 years now and he still didn't manage it ..

Climate Science? Say ... that's a UN directed IPCC that
knows
From whence and which way the 'political' wind
blows
And researchers understandinging which way and ter whom the 'science' funding
goes.
