He doesn’t have to talk about it – Lisa Jackson is quietly carrying that particular ball for him.
Obama has dropped nothing. He is just approaching from a different direction. Beware the snake in the grass, you will not see it coming but you will know when it arrives.
Love Dr. Leonard McCoy’s image. The good Doc was as Skeptical and Cynical
as they got.
Obama may not be talking publicly about Climate Change and has instead ordered the EPA to implement sweeping environmental controls that will do the same thing legislation would have done but through regulation.
The battleground has now moved to the EPA.
Wow! The cracks in the AGW stone wall are starting to show through to the other side. The wind shifts fast in Washington DC.
Reading the article in the Baltimore Sun is very much like reading excerpts from WUWT. I’d say you are doing a fine job of getting the message out. Please keep up the good work.

According to Gallup it would appear that most of the world is convinced that man is responsible for [adverse] climate change. For some strange reason, the US appears to be bucking the trend.
Worldwide, Blame for Climate Change Falls on Humans …
Americans among least likely to attribute to human causes

Climate zombies never die!
Also, Goldberg is a “right wing” syndicated columnist that the Baltimore Sun has picked up for some reason. I assure you that Baltimore is still bamboozled over climate change.
I wish he wouldalso drop the EPA and their resrtictive rulings and let the country get started drilling for oil and get on with trying to get the price of energy down.
Look at his actions on gas prices anddrilling permits—do you really think he has given up in fundamentally transforming America? Don’t count on it. He’s as deceptive and underhanded as they come.
Who care about words, actions are what matters. EPA has stopped Shell from starting drilling off the coast of Alaska (leases they spent 2.2 billion on) because they didn’t account for the affect on air quality due to a coast guard ice breaker on a village of less than 300 located 70 miles away.
Who needs to make statements when your administration takes actions like that.
Don’t celebrate just yet. It started in the late 1970s, brewed in universities as the new future-best-thing in the 1980s (I was part of it), was honed then released to the gullible public in the 1990s, and spun full blast by the media, the politicians and the greens in the 2000s. Does anyone really think it’s going to go silent almost overnight?
The pendulum will swing back. It always does.
derise: It’s worse than that. The EPA admitted that they weren’t sure that an ice breaker would even be needed, but that they felt that Shell should have accounted for that possibility in their filing. A 2.2 billion dollar investment scuttled because Shell forgot to account for one, maybe two icebreaker trips per year. Sheesh.
If it hadn’t been that, they would have invented some other excuse.
spector@12:37. Perhaps Americans are more educated! BTW have a look at how the survey was carried out. How did they get a representative “sample” from Sub-Saharan Africa when the questions were asked over the phone. The mind boggles. If you discount the Europeans, who have been conditioned over two centuries to doing what they are told, I don’t think that the opinion polls are all that favourable to the AGW hypotheses. Certainly here in Australia there is a marked drift away from its acceptance.
The new mantra at the EPA is “All your waterways belong to us.”

“According to Gallup it would appear that most of the world is convinced that man is responsible for [adverse] climate change. For some strange reason, the US appears to be bucking the trend.”
While the US is always good at self-flaggelation, polarization and bemoaning its own fate, it’s also the incubator for practically every new idea, fashion or fad that is later imitated, exaggerated or parodied by everybody around the world. I guess you’re just ahead of the curve in the US as usual. The EU commission still peddles AGW. I give them 5 years from now to notice that the wind has changed. Well, they need 5 years for anything, as they operate with 5 year plans (not kidding, just google “EU 5 year plan” and you find them.)
It’s not easy being green (apologies to Kermit) when you’re more concerned about paying your mortgage and feeding your family.
Canadian support percentages are higher because we were fortunate to weather the last couple of years better than most, if we had not, I’m sure the support for the green movement would be a lot lower here too. We’re also more politically correct here and we don’t have as much vocal opposition to the whole thing. Most of the media is still supportive, but seemingly a little less so than previously. We’re also in an election (again) and 4 of the 5 major parties all are strong supporters, and even the Conservatives mouth the platitudes.
Next Monday we find out where we’re heading. I can hardly wait. 🙁
i think obama is losing favor as well….the online news articles on the birth cert issue that i’ve seen, the comments are running against him by a stunning margin….people getting tired of a would-be king who prefers to ignore congress and the courts and attempts to rule by decree instead…i’ll be so happy to see this admin run out of town in 2012 and obama a 1-term failure…genachowski and lisa jackson need to go to jail…
LOL, Anthony.
If only it were true.

And Fox Television – have you seen all their new “Green” ads?
RE: Gallup–Worldwide, Blame for Climate Change Falls on Humans.
Of course, Gallup probably has a typical elite press viewpoint on this issue. In any case, I think the results are interesting as they appear indicate how pervasive this opinion has become worldwide. That does not alter reality, however.
The pendulum swings back, but in the case of AGW at no time in the past has there ever been such a huge number of people whose very livelihoods and fortunes been so dependent on the pendulum not swinging back.
I doubt if Obama would get re-elected on the promise of:
“Expanding bureaucracy and rules so as to increase US dependence on foreign oil”.
He is not stupid, just more wrong than right than most people, but he will figure out what to do with the greenies and the EPA eventually.
Sadly, I am not sure if that was sarc or not, nor can I define the term ‘eventually’ in this instance.

And as Alan says… to paraphrase It’s taken roughly 4 decades to get here, which is a generation and a bit.
When that pendulum swings back, it’s going to have some momentum about it. The sceptical camp is dominated by the right, of varying degrees.
We may not like how far that pendulum swings.
