The left keeps repeating the mantra “The debate on global warming (or now climate change) is over, now is the time to act”. This is the 1st debate I can recall, what other debates are they referring to?

[TruthWillWin]

Anyone familiar with the names of those debating?

[ru4liberty]

Thanks for posting this. I was headed here to do just that, but you were too efficient for me! :)

[Vince Ferrer]

Mark Steyn will be a hoot. I have also heard of Dr. Judith Curry.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Steyn is a witness? WOOOOOT!

[Bulwinkle]

Christy and Curry are skeptics, Titley a warmist.... All scientists...

[ru4liberty]

Does anyone know if this will be available for viewing again later?

[TruthWillWin]

Webcast? This at least should be on CSpan? Oh well, at least the MSM will give it adequate coverage. /s

[justlittleoleme]

It appears to be setup that way, I went back and checked other hearings and they where there for viewing.

[ru4liberty]

Great. I know I’m about to get interrupted by a visitor, and I didn’t want to miss it.

MARK’S UP NEXT!

[ru4liberty]

Titley mentions a 100-year-old theory. What’s he talking about, anyone know?

[PATRIOT1876]

31,000 Scientists say that global warming is nonsense.

[Dr.Deth]

The left keeps repeating the mantra “The debate on global warming (or now climate change) is over, now is the time to act”.

And I keep repeating "correlation does not imply causation" and "science without the application of the scientific method is not science."

Mark Steyn, this should be interesting.

and the enemedia will completely ignore it...
