Pirate's Cove

Yet another nail in the coffin regarding “climate change” being anything other than a far left issue, here’s Michael Mann, late of seeing his hockey stick disgraced, putting up a diary at the Daily Kos (conservatives do posts, progressives do diaries, like they’re 10 year old girls) opining as to why a Democrat winning the Virginia attorney generals race is important

This past week, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere exceeded 400 parts per million (ppm) for the first time in at least 4 million years.

Here’s a simpler, starker way to put it: pollution in the air, the kind that captures greenhouse gases and makes our planet warmer, just reached the highest level ever in recorded history.

First, Mike should have waited to post, because we learned Tuesday that it had not hit 400ppm. Bummer. Second, most of the history of the Earth has seen CO2 at much higher levels. Anyhow, he’s whining about all his normal stuff, including Cuccinelli attempting to force Mann to release government funded documents

Mark’s election would serve as a clear, unequivocal rejection of Cuccinelli’s style of politics and a return to thoughtful, responsible governing. But it would also be a tremendous blow to the political extremists on a national level. Remember, the far right-wing Tea Party planted its roots in Virginia in 2009, which quickly bloomed into a resounding victory in 2010 and dangerous policy from the likes of Cuccinelli in the years since.

When you consider all of these factors, you can quickly see the importance of Virginia’s 2013 elections.

But don’t say that the people pushing “climate change” are far left kooks.
