This past Monday, I took to this floor for the eighth time to discuss global warming. My speech focused on the myths surrounding global warming and how our national news media has embarrassed itself with a l00-year documented legacy of coverage on what turned out to be trendy climate science theories. Over the last century, the media has flip-flopped between global cooling and warming scares. At the turn of the 20th century, the media peddled an upcoming ice age--and they said the world was coming to an end. Then in the 1930s, the alarm was raised about disaster from global warming--and they said the world was coming to an end. Then in the 1970s an alarm for another ice age was raised--and they said the world was coming to an end. And now, today, we are back to fears of catastrophic global warming--and again they are saying the world is coming to an end. Today I would like to share the fascinating events that have unfolded since my floor speech on Monday.

Nothing is being done. I came to this meeting because it is apparently the White House that is stopping this or delaying this.
