I guess they didn't relate anything to what was said in the last paragraph.
Temps drop, Brits rise to pass global-warming bill

http://www.onenewsnow.com/Politics/Default.aspx?id=315254A spokesman for the Cornwall Alliance says the recent passage of a radical global-warming bill in London is a good example of hysteria setting political policy.
Lawmakers in London passed a bill last month that would cut carbon emissions by 80 percent by the year 2050. As the House of Commons debated the bill, snow fell in London in October for the first time since 1922. However, the bill passed with only three members voting against it.
Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, national spokesman for the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, predicts the cost of the measure will be great.
"Because what's happening is they're going to push up the price of energy -- and energy is used in all economic production," he explains. "And that means that there will be more money spent on energy and less spent on other things, including paying workers and production."
Dr. Beisner says it is also quite possible that a similar measure could be passed in the U.S. under an Obama administration. "Certainly the new leadership on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and [on] the House Energy Committee...is much more inclined toward that sort of alarmist policy-making than was the previous leadership," says the Alliance spokesman.
With all this political talk concerning global warming, Beisner notes that most media outlets have been virtually silent about the recent cold snap experienced in October. According to reports, more than 163 record lows were broken in the U.S. in a two-day period in October; and parts of Europe have documented their snowiest October since recordkeeping began in the late 1800s.
