Michelle Malkin relays a story of painful irony in an eco-expedition.

A new global warming consensus, known as the Petition Project, has 31,000+ scientists on record as saying that man-made climate change as no convincing scientific evidence in its support.

They have a peer reviewed paper to support their claims. With 9,021 PhDs alone signing it, the project already includes 15-times more scientists than are seriously involved in the United Nations IPPC process. The very large number of petition signers demonstrates that, if there is a consensus among American scientists, it is in opposition to the human-caused global warming hypothesis rather than in favor of it.

The irony in the eco-expedition perhaps depicts the folly in so much legislation and enviro-litigation driven by the theory of and fears related to man-made climate change. With so much data contradicting it, as in the Petition Project for example, you would hope that leaders with some cooler heads would at least urge that legislation, litigation and policies driven by the theory be seriously reevaluated. Unfortunately, the motivation behind these initiatives seems to be more about power and control rather than truth in many cases.

Good economic news being ignored  by the mainstream media despite all the facts amply provided to them.

VILLIERS-LE-BEL, France - Youths rampaged for a third night in the tough suburbs north of Paris and violence spread to a southern city late Tuesday as police struggled to contain rioters who have burned cars and buildings and — in an ominous turn — shot at officers.

In an unprecedented move, Google Inc. (Nasdaq:GOOG) has agreed to supply the IP address of an Israeli blogger who used “Google Blogger” for a blog in which he slandered Shaarei Tikva council members running for reelection. This action was taken by Google after a court ruling but before receiving a court mandate to do so.

“If the White House officials allow us to be present as an observer in their presidential election we will see whether people in their country are going to vote for them again or not, ” said Ahmadinejad.
