…is still at it: “MSNBC with Ed Schultz. We’re talking fires, heat, and climate change. Let’s see if we can convey the seriousness & convince a few citizens.”
As Glenn says, he should be embarrassed.

Bob Zubrin has another great piece up today, with another shot at Bobi-Won’s hero, Rachel I-cant-hear-birds-anymore-because-I’ve-got-shit-for-brains Carson.
And in related news, US CO2 emissions set to drop to 1990 levels. The greens are foaming at the mouth because the reasons are mostly market based.
Zubrin missed the obvious solution. Take this land out of the governments hands and let private individuals own and log it. Then of course, they’d have to really own it rather than have others own it by legal proxy.
About the most succinct exposition of what’s wrong with CAGW alarmism:

Ed really takes ’em out behind the barn.
That “science” guy is the reason I allowed my twenty-something year long Planetary Society membership to lapse a few years ago. Yes, they do interesting work, but someone had to decide to bring Bill Nye into the exec director slot.
My wife and I visited Yellowstone shortly before Memorial Day. There was a terrible fire there in the late 1980s and the signs are everywhere. It’ll likely take another 50 years or more before the damage is no longer visible. And yet, there is a massive amount of dead wood still standing and even more lying all over the place. Should another fire break out, there’s so much fuel lying around that it’ll be very difficult to stop it.
I know Yellowstone is a special place, but there should be some provision to remove as much of that dead wood as possible. It might require using noisy helicopters to avoid building logging roads. However, as experience here in Colorado Springs recently has shown, you’ll need a lot of noisy airplanes and helicopters to put out the fire once it’s lit. And it will happen again at Yellowstone. There can be no doubt about that.
