Some advice for the Republicans:<\/p>\n

\n

The Budget<\/p>\n

What they should do is attach a mandate to the CR to implement Obamacare as written without any carve-outs or exemptions for Congress, no exemptions for Congress Staffers, no exemptions for Unions, no exemptions for Corporate Cronies like GE, Goldman-Sachs, and Warren Buffett. Let Obama veto that and explain why he is against implementing his own law.<\/p>\n

I confess this appeals to me. Comments?<\/p>\n

ObamaCare suggestion…<\/p>\n

I would add one thing to Bruce Garrick’s idea: No delay for business penalties. <\/p>\n

As the IPCC report approaches publication there is much speculation on just how far the consensus view will retreat from the absolute confidence the previous reports displayed. Mike Flynn calls attention to this:<\/p>\n

Since the academic budgets of a great number of people depend on the continued Global Warming Consensus, there is a conflict of emotions among the climate scientists. It will be interesting to see how that plays out. We\u2019ll have a longer discussion shortly, but my conclusions haven\u2019t changed: we don\u2019t have a climate model reliable enough to bet trillions on. We know the Earth has been both warmer and colder in historical times, and the earlier climate shifts are unlikely to have been caused by human influence. Clearly human activities can affect climates \u2013 we all grew up learning that the desertification of much of North Africa was due to goats, and we know that some local climates are determined by human activities in the region \u2013 but human activity is unlikely to have caused the Viking period warming, the great cooling after 1300, the Little Ice Age, and such; and the warming beginning in 1800 or so is very unlikely to have been caused by human activities. Until the Believers stop denying the existence of the Viking Warm, the Roman Warm, and the Little Ice Age, we aren\u2019t going to learn much from those models. <\/p>\n
