Despite the best efforts of progressives who want to use global warming to control human consumption and the media that supports these efforts, it seems Mother Nature is not following their script.
Some examples:
California is truly #1…when it comes to being the worst run state in the country.
In part, this stellar achievement has been the end result the California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations. This agency’s tactics portend the approach the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is apt to take under the Obama administration....

But, but, there was scientific consensus, so why is anyone questioning the theory or looking for evidence to the contrary?
As reported by AP (emphasis

Israeli archaeologists said Monday they may have found the earliest evidence yet for the existence...
An op-ed in The Christian Science Monitor poses the question,
