God, Good Science & Global Warming

Nothing better illustrates the great need to expose the sloppy science and financial interests propelling the global warming alarmist agenda than President Barack Obama's comments on climate change in his second inaugural address.

As the Wall Street Journal pointed out, “One of his most passionate moments was … devoted to addressing ‘climate change,' of all things. … Mr. Obama says it will be a major priority in the next four years.”

The President went on to say, “Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none c
