Watch Now: Fox News Channel features Climate Depot on Obama’s bypass of Congress on climate regs: Morano: ‘The Obama admin. is being strategically brilliant by doing this behind the scenes. They’re going to achieve everything that cap and trade, and UN treaties and even a carbon tax would achieve through the invisibility of federal regulations’

Fox News excerpts: ‘Marc Morano, a global warming skeptic and publisher of the website ClimateDepot.com, applauds the administration’s strategy, if not its purpose

“The Obama administration is being strategically brilliant by doing this behind the scenes,” he says. “They’re going to achieve everything that cap and trade, and UN treaties and even a carbon tax would achieve through the invisibility of federal regulations. ”

Morano believes the statement smacks of intimidation. “”They’re saying if you’re a skeptic and you work for the administration, you better keep your mouth shut and not express your views.”

He also points out that the scientific method is based upon skepticism and continually challenging assumptions, not accepting them.

Morano’s website is a repository of global warming skepticism. He points to new studies from highly credentialed Russian skeptics, including scientists from Russia’s Pulkovo Observatory and Academy of Sciences, who are predicting,based upon a diminution of sunspot activity, a mini-ice age lasting up to 250 years.

Watch Now: Canada’s Ezra Levant mocks Obama’s Keystone pipeline claims: ‘This president is the first president to make an international incident out of regular commerce – and to hold thousands of U.S. jobs hostage to rich environmental lobbyists’

Ezra Levant excerpt: ‘Is there anyone out there who would look at America’s source of oil imports –  the terrorists of Saudi Arabia;  the kleptocrats of Nigeria;  the thugs of Venezuela – and say that the most pressing national interest, something so important that it will be set off against thousands of American jobs, is that OPEC conflict oil has a few puffs of CO2 less than Canadian oilsands oil? Which isn’t even true in the case of Venezuela?

Is there any normal person who prefers to buy oil from terrorist central – aka the middle east – than from Canada? Well, Obama thinks that.’

Flashback: Watch Now: Climate Depot’s Morano on Fox News about ‘Ethical Oil’ & Keystone Pipeline: ‘If we are getting oil from a democracy in Canada [via the Keystone Pipeline], that’s called ethical oil’ Morano: ‘Ethical oil as opposed to conflict oil — getting it from Nigeria, Venezuela, the Middle East. It’s a very simple choice. Where do we want to get our oil? And the ethical and moral way is to get if from friendly democratic neighbors — not countries with poor human rights records’

Fox News features Climate Depot: Climate change skeptics seize on reports showing temperatures leveling

Morano: ‘The idea that CO2 is the tail that wags the dog is no longer scientifically tenable,’ said Marc Morano of ClimateDepot.com, a website devoted to countering the prevailing acceptance of man-made global warming…Morano said: ‘In the peer-reviewed literature we’re finding hundreds of factors influence global temperature, everything from ocean cycles to the tilt of the earth’s axis to water vapor, methane, cloud feedback, volcanic dust, all of these factors are coming together. They’re now realizing it wasn’t the simple story we’ve been told of your SUV is creating a dangerously warm planet.’ 

Morano: ‘In the proceedings of the National Academy of Science a year or two ago they had a study blaming Chinese coal use for the lack of global warming. So, in an ironic twist, global warming proponents are now claiming that that coal use is saving us from dangerous global warming.’

UN IPCC’s Kevin Trenberth redefines global warming: Warming No Longer Requires Warming –’Global warming is continuing but it’s being manifested in somewhat different ways,’ said Kevin Trenberth, of the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research. Warming can go, for instance, to the air, water, land or to melting ice and snow…’pauses in surface warming could last 15-20 years’

Where’s the warming? ‘The ocean ate my global warming’

Climate Depot Round Up: ‘The great warmist retreat has officially begun. The mainstream media cannot maintain the official man-made global warming narrative any longer’

CLIMATE CHANGE ENDGAME IN SIGHT? ‘The problem for the climateers is increasingly dire’

‘As The Economist shows in its first chart, the recent temperature record is now falling distinctly to the very low end of its predicted range and may soon fall out of it, which means the models are wrong, or, at the very least, that there’s something going on that supposedly “settled” science hasn’t been able to settle.  Equally problematic for the theory, one place where the warmth might be hiding—the oceans—is not cooperating with the story line.  Recent data show that ocean warming has noticeably slowed, too, as shown’
