Why he doubts it, at least as far as it being anthropogenic. It would be nice if someone would transcribe this, and pull screenshots of the charts.

Dendrochronologists (including Keith Briffa) (hockey) stick it to the Mann.
The tragedy of the welfare state.
But don’t accuse them of wanting to create a large dependency class, with accompanying votes.
What is the future of reusable launch vehicles?
It should be clear by now that it’s hopeless to expect the government to do it.
It’s dead, Jim. Give it to FAA, and let Davidian run it again.
…and still a mess:
It’s a situation no one anticipated when the Affordable Care Act was written. The law assumed states would create and operate their own exchanges, and set aside billions in grants for that purpose.
Why did the law assume that? Because, as Ramesh Ponnuru wrote back in October, “The law’s supporters . . . expected the health-care law to become more popular over time.” T’was ever thus, for blind optimism is Obamacare’s founding principle: If people understand it, they’ll like it; if Obama makes just one more speech about it, they’ll like it; if Congress passes it, they’ll like it; if HHS spends millions of dollars promoting it, they’ll like it; if the states are forced to implement it, they’ll like it. And so on and so forth. And yet…
This is why federalism was invented.
I’ve raised almost $2400 on the Kickstarter project, with a little over a week to go. By the way, I don’t know if people noticed, but if you click on the video, you’ll see an endorsement from the space-policy teddy bears. Or dogs. Or whatever they are.
How many times has federal spending ever declined?
…why exactly would anyone expect Congress to really cut spending down the road if it has shown essentially no ability to rein in spending in the near term? This is like a variation on the old joke about losing money on every unit sold but making it up in volume. Except it’s not like that at all. Or funny.
No, but it is business as usual. Until the economy implodes.
What’s next?
Are they DOA? I visited Honduras back in the nineties. It could certainly use something like this. And I too find it bizarre that a court would find a constitutional amendment unconstitutional.
Frank J. gives them what for:
…that’s the tough line the government needs to take with job creators: You will spit out those jobs we demand — and good ones with health-care benefits! — or we will destroy you and your businesses.
Raising their taxes by repealing the Bush tax cuts is just the start. We need even more taxes and punishing regulations. We need to treat these people like the scum they are, and if they don’t want to watch their companies burn, they’ll yield and finally expand their businesses and create more jobs — and not make any more profit or get richer when they do that, because we find that highly annoying.
We’ve had enough of your sickening greed, business owners, so give us everything we want, and give it to us now.
Right on.
