Sometimes, the best way to point out how climate alarmists have gone over the top, is to just let their own words speak for themselves. Such is the case of Sally Kohn, who bills herself as “America’s second favorite cable news lesbian.” and apparently, also a world renowned expert on weather, er, climate, or something. […]

The politics of energy suddenly got real. The fantasy of attempting to run economies on sunshine and breezes has been revealed for just that. Germany’s headlong rush into renewables is in tatters, to keep the lights on and business ticking along, it’s been forced to build new coal-fired power plants and reinstate previously mothballed plant.
