Non-Rookie of the Year Obama Touts Cap-and-Trade in SOTU---The Day After Another Colossal Lie is Revealed

Obama demonstrates almost daily now that he is a clueless ideological retard. Walter Russell Mead, who up to now has been in the closet vis-a-vis any objections to Obama's runaway statist socialist agenda, now reveals a conscience:

Although President Obama urged Congress to pass a cap-and-trade bill in the State of the Union address, he seems to be flogging a dead horse. Inaccurate predictions and unethical behavior by some of the leading figures in the climate change movement have given skeptics enough ammunition to ensure that a nervous U.S. Congress will not pass a serious climate change bill in 2010. The news about East Anglia’s violations came the day after Britain’s chief science adviser spoke out publicly about the inadequate track record of some key figures in the global warming movement, warning in the words of the London Times that there was an urgent need for more honesty about the uncertainty of some predictions.

Not mentioned by Mead is Rajendra Pachauri's completely false and tendentiously argued assertions about glacier reductions in the Himalayas. Why Pachauri stays on at the IRCC after being totally outed as an obnoxious fraud [who called his enemies much viler names than that for questioning his IRCC omniscience on the glacier statements, which were based on an author who had long since repudiated his original statement and had not been peer-reviewed] is probably a function of the large emoluments he accrues as being head of a UN agency, tax-free.

Even Mead himself is stuck in a halfway mode, saying that all these violations the UK is announcing mean that "the anti-climate change movement will not soon regain the credibility it has lost."

RWM surely must mean the "climate-change movement."
