'Jaw-dropping': Global warming litigation may lead to 'hundreds of billions of dollars...a payout that would make tobacco and asbestos damages look like pocket money'

UPDATE: Chomsky now attempts to retract his 'death knell' comment! 'If I said the [GOP] elections are a death knell, I went too far. But I think it's fair to say that they do threaten that outcome'
Climate Depot Response to Chomsky: 'If' you said it? You clearly did say it on video. You now admit you 'went too far?' But we all thought you were a brilliant 'linguist'! How could you say what you don't mean? Aren't you at least supposed to be the expert at using language? Note: Chomsky is reading and responding to emails(chomsky@mit.edu)

Noam Chomsky on skeptics: 'It is important to bear in mind that those who orchestrate the campaigns know as well as the rest of us that the 'hoax' is real and ominous...'
'...but they are pursuing their institutional role: maximizing short-term profit and putting aside 'externalities,' in this case the fate of the species' (Note: Chomsky is reading and responding to emails: chomsky@mit.edu)

Study: Cosmic rays contribute 40% to global warming -- Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh speaks out against warmists' tactics!
'There is a groupthink in climate science today. Anyone who raises alternative climate theories is immediately branded as a climate atheist in an atmosphere of climate evangelists. Climate science is incredibly more complex than [developed countries] negotiators make it out to be... Climate science should not be driven by the West. We should not always be dependent on outside reports'

Romm is Burning: 'Romm cleverly chose a graph which stopped in 2007, before the La Nina kicked in...'Romm's global warming panic is a joke'

Oops. 'Temperatures have fallen below Hansen's Scenario C' (assuming rapid curtailment of Co2) -- 'Cook's graph obliterates their case, yet Romm introduces it as evidence'
The case of 'Global Warmers vs Humanity dismissed'

Romm/Cook Prosecute Themselves: Romm featuring graph from 'Evangelical Christian' John Cook -- But temps rose as fast from 1910 to 1940 as they did from 1970 to 2000'
'This is solid evidence that the warming is not due to CO2, which only rose 10 ppm from 1910 to 1940. If you use the latest climate science 30 year lag rule, their problem gets even worse – because the 1910-1940 rise was due to the tiny rise in CO2 from before the automobile was invented'
