Most of the people who shout about climate change have not read one article about it

I think in 20 years’ time we will look back at this whole climate change debate and ask ourselves how on earth were we ever conned into spending the billions of pounds which are going into this without any kind of rigorous examination of the background, the science, the implications of it all. Because there is now a degree of hysteria about it, fairly unformed hysteria I’ve got to say as well. ~ Environment minister Sammy Wilson

…

The most effective way to achieve this is a carbon tax (on oil, gas, and coal) at the well-head or port of entry. The tax will then appropriately affect all products and activities that use fossil fuels. The public’s near-term, mid-term, and long-term lifestyle choices will be affected by knowledge that the carbon tax rate will be rising.
The public will support the tax if it is returned to them, equal shares on a per capita basis
(half shares for children up to a maximum of two child-shares per family), deposited monthly in bank accounts. ~James Hansen in a Letter to Barak Obama (response to the letter here)

Globaloney Update: A Tale of Two ‘Realities’

i [heart] Jesus

From J.Piper:

So here at the beginning of 2009, I say, “I love Jesus Christ.”

And as I say it, I want to make clear what I mean:

I admire Jesus Christ more than any other human or angelic being.

I enjoy his ways and his words more than I enjoy the ways and words of anyone else.

I want his approval more than I want the approval of anyone else.

I want to be with him more than I want to be with anyone else.

I feel more grateful to him for what he has done for me than I do to anyone else.

I trust his words more fully than I trust what anyone else says.

I am more glad in his exaltation than in the exaltation of anyone else, including me.

Would you pray with me that in 2009 we would love Jesus Christ more than we ever have? And may our Lord Jesus grant that from time to time we would deliver quietly and naturally a thunderclap into the hearts of others with the simple words, “I love Jesus Christ.”
