REVEALING CAPITALIZATION

From this source quoting James J. Lee, who invaded the Discovery Channel's building today in Silver Spring Maryland, fired shots, and held hostages until the police shot him:

"Nothing is more important than saving ... the Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels. The humans? The planet does not need humans.”

Read Lee's entire manifesto HERE.

And who awakened Lee to the plight of the Planet Earth?

Why, Al Gore, of course!

Lee said he experienced an ‘‘awakening” when he watched former Vice President Al Gore’s environmental documentary ‘‘An Inconvenient Truth.”

Gore awakened Lee, and Daniel Quinn's works were apparently the basis of Lee's activism.

MORE GLOBAL WARMING IDIOCY

From I Hate The Media!:

Noted global warming expert RFK, Jr. predicted that Washington, DC might never see snow again

The pathetically unprophetic Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. wrote a column last year in which he bemoaned global warming and suggested that children of the future might never see snow again.

Another 10-20 inches of snow on top of the two feet we've already got (photo essays) is expected here in the D.C. area today. Heh.

Carbon Bubble About To Blowup?

Climategate is close to destabilizing the Copenhagen Summit, leading market analysts to openly worry no agreements will be reached:

The head of the Asian Development Bank said on Sunday that rich countries' offers of funds to developing countries for measures to mitigate or adapt to climate change remain insufficient a week into U.N. talks.

ADB President Haruhiko Kuroda also told Reuters in an interview that if governments were to fail to reach a climate deal in Copenhagen, it could lead to a collapse of the carbon market which would hit efforts to deal with climate change

.
And, of course, that would mean Al Gore would lose an awful lot of money.

THE NEXT ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS THAT THREATENS LIFE ON EARTH: CO2? AGW? NITROGEN? NO: H2O!

M. Simon at Power and Control has discovered a group of scientists vying to be the leaders of the next "Crisis" movement:

An international group of scientists say there is an immediate need for a global assessment of the nitrogen cycle and its impact on climate.

On a planetary scale, human activities, especially fertiliser application, have more than doubled the amount of reactive nitrogen in circulation on land. This massive alteration of the nitrogen cycle affects climate, food security, energy security, human health and ecosystem health. The long-term consequences of these changes are yet to be fully realised, but the human impact on the nitrogen cycle has so far been largely missed in international environmental assessments.

Nitrogen's role in climate change will be highlighted at an event on 7 December at the COP-15 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. Event organisers will be calling for a new assessment of nitrogen and climate, which will identify innovative nitrogen management strategies for global climate change mitigation and associated co-benefits to society.

Dr Cheryl Palm, the chair of the International Nitrogen Initiative (INI), which is organising the event, said "Nitrogen and climate interactions are not yet adequately included in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment process.

This maneuver is not going to work, in my opinion, because it is not just the CO2 Global Warming model that is currently being discredited, but it is the very notion of Anthropogenic Global Warming itself which is unravelling.

The public will no longer trust "Climate Change" scientists.

The public will no longer buy any Climate Change argument.

People have a visceral hatred for Chicken Little bullshit. And, they do not want to be taken in again and again by the same "sky is falling" routine.

However, that does NOT mean the public will not buy another line of Chicken Little b.s.

We have seen this time and time again.

The reason the public will buy into crisis scenarios again and again is,

1) crisis gets our adrenalin rushing, and that is pleasurable for humans

2) crisis gives us a sense of purpose, especially when we are told we can do something about the crisis IF WE TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW!

And, politicians know it because they have played on our passions over and over.

So, what will the next crisis be?

Water.

WE''RE RUNNING OUT OF WATER, AND IF WE DO NOT TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION ALL LIFE WILL BE OBLITERATED, AND THE EARTH ITSELF WILL HANG IN THE BALANCE:

Will Water Footprints be the Next "Energy Star"?

Like their cousin the carbon footprint, water footprints are one of the latest methods scientists and policy makers are using to assess humanity's impact on the planet. And now businesses are starting to use water footprinting as well.

A water footprint measures the total amount of water it takes for a company to manufacture and transport a product, or for a city, country, or business to operate.

Calculating water footprints can help businesses and communities better understand and prepare for the impacts of global water scarcity, according to experts.

Exceptionally water-intensive products and food items include beef, coffee, and cotton. For example 2 pounds (1 kilogram) of beef requires 4,227 gallons (16,000 liters) of water to produce, once you consider the water needed to grow feed and process the meat, according to WFN. Likewise, 776 gallons (2,900 liters) of water is needed to make a cotton shirt.

Applying a standard to water footprinting is crucial, said Stuart Orr, WWFs freshwater-footprint manager. That's because the complex ecological analysis, which involves identifying and measuring multiple water inputs, is "confusing everybody right now," he said.

But, footprinting represents the best tool for reducing water demand in already severely water-stressed countries that will have to support some 3 billion people by 2025.

"We cant screw this up," he added. "There is no Plan B with water. Lets be clear about that."

The U.S. has the biggest water footprint per capita, at 766,098 gallons (2.9 million liters) per person each year, according to WFN.

Of course, the United States, the world's most successful country, is the biggest abuser. Of course. Because Capitalism is the problem, you see. Therefore, Capitalism will have to be attacked, and destroyed, or else we will run out of water, everyone and everything will die, and earth itself ... well, you get the drill.

And all of this rests on the completely unscientific, false assumption that once you use the water it disappears.

Water does not disappear. It changes form. When you cook, water evaporates ... and then comes back down to earth in the form of rainfall, dew, etc.

When you irrigate crops, water evaporate and/or get transferred into the plants, where it is stored, and consequently ends up in the digestive systems of human beings and animals.

When you drink water, or ingest anything which has water in it - which is everything - it goes through your system, and comes out as urine which contains, get this, WATER.

Which then evaporates, and comes down in the form of rainfall, dew, etc.

And, of course, this "we're running out of water and we must do something about it right now" scenario also rests on the assumption that we will develop no new technology which will help us harvest water.

No new Desalination technology.

No new Cloud Seeding technology.

Why does this need to be explained? Because Chicken Little demands it with his asinine ranting:



So yes, WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF WATER, AND IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW, ALL LIFE WILL BE OBLITERATED, AND THE EARTH, ITSELF, WILL HANG IN THE BALANCE.

So the government must intervene and enact socialist/fascist legislation to make sure you no longer drink coffee, eat beef, or where cotton t-shirts.

You heard it her first, folks.

Check back somewhere down the road, and you will find us bragging about having scooped the New York Times, the Washington Post, The Hadley Water Research Unit, The Federal Government of the United States, Instapundit, etc., by years and years.

Anthropogenic Global Warming Theory, Totalitarianism, and The Destruction of Hope and Joy

("The Cooling of America" and "The Big Freeze" covers are from the 1970's. Scientists have been trying to convince us the world is coming to an end since I was a childhood. Why do you think that is?)



The AGW movement, and the Green Movement out of which it came, are Trojan Horses which are being used to introduce Socialist ideas into Western political systems.

Just for the record, the reason I don't believe Global Warming is going to kill us is because, at 46 years of age, I have been Chicken Littled by scientists far too many times.

During the course of my lifetime, I have been told

1) we were overpopulating the earth (it turns out all of our problems with food have to do with distribution, not shortages)

2) we would eat each other like rats in cages (I have yet to see evidence of mass cannibalism caused by overcrowding)

3) we were polluting ourselves to death (the USA is cleaner than when I was a kid, but the third world is more polluted, proving the solution to pollution is not less productivity but more Capitalism)

4) we were destroying all the forests and would run out of oxygen (the US is more forested now than in the 1800's)

5) we were going to choke the earth with plastics (I have yet to see the Earth huffing and puffing for its last breath)

6) we were going to run out of oil (I had several professors in college in the early 80's who promised me we would run out of oil by the early 1990's - we actually have MORE KNOWN RESERVES NOW THAN AT ANY TIME IN HISTORY - AND IT IS ALL BUT A PROVEN SCIENTIFIC FACT THAT OIL IS NOT A FOSSIL FUEL, BUT IS INSTEAD A NATURAL OCCURRING SUBSTANCE)

And now, these malevolent, insane scientists are telling us we are destroying the Earth with CO2, which they say causes Global Warming.

Why would anyone believe them, after all they've been wrong about?

AND, THE MOST AMAZING THING IS I HAVE NEVER HEARD AN APOLOGY FROM ANY SCIENTIST FOR ANYTHING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN WRONG ABOUT.

Why do you think that is?

And note this, have you ever heard any apologies from the Left for having been wrong about Stalin, the Soviet Union, Ronald Reagan's strategy for destroying the Soviet Union, the idea that Reagan would start a nuclear war, etc.?

No, there are no apologies from the Scientists who have been wrong.

And, there are no apologies from the Leftists who were wrong about Communism and its death toll, nor about how to destroy the USSR.

And, why do you think these two groups refuse to apologize when they have terrorized us with their never-ending bullshit?

Because, the Leftists and the Scientists share the same goal, and that is they want to do away with consumption, capitalism, and ultimately, human beings in large numbers.

They hate life. And, they want to drag all of us down with them.

How it is that scientists make all these mistakes, terrorize us with predictions about the end of the world, and then refuse to apologize when they are proven wrong.

Additionally, we need to consider why it is that the answers scientists come up with to solve all these problems have always involved totalitarian government intervention.

For instance, Obama's Czar John Holdren prescribed forced abortions and mass sterilization to deal with the overpopulation "problem" (which has turned out to be a complete myth).

John Holdren has never taken his words back, nor has he apologized.

And, consider this, when people are constantly taught the world is coming to an end, how are they to plan for the future? How are they supposed to have hope?

And, if people believe our population is too high, why should they have children? Is not life less joyful, less full of love and hope, if we have less children?

And, if people believe consumerism inevitably leads to more Global Warming then, once again, why should people have children? After all, every child added to the world is yet another consumer, who will inevitably make the Earth even warmer.

If we are to take these scientists seriously, we must consider

1) what the psychological effect is on human beings who are told the world is ending (damages our ability to live with hope and joy)

and

2) what our society would look like if we actually decided to use the prescriptions of these insane totalitarian scientists ...

Imagine if we took their prescriptions for public policy. Most of you under the age of 35 probably would NEVER HAVE BEEN BORN.

If we do not consider these questions, then we are being complacent, and intellectually dishonest. Not just about science, but about the reality of the prescriptions, and about the reality of the mass psychological damage to human beings.

Do not be complacent about these questions, becaue they are fundamental questions which go right to the heart of the love, joy, and hope. They are questions which force us to consider whether we can even afford to enjoy life.

And that is at least as important as Global Warming.

NEW PROOF/SMOKING GUN PROVES HOCKEY STICK A TOTAL FRAUD

AGW = RELIGION WITH MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS.

From Watt's Up With That?

Now, here is some actual proof that the CRU was deliberately tampering with their data. Unfortunately, for readability’s sake, this code was written in Interactive Data Language (IDL) and is a pain to go through.

NOTE: This is an actual snippet of code from the CRU contained in the source file: briffa_Sep98_d.pro

;
; Apply a VERY ARTIFICAL correction for decline!!
;
yrloc=[1400,findgen(19)*5.+1904]
valadj=[0.,0.,0.,0.,0.,-0.1,-0.25,-0.3,0.,-0.1,0.
3,0.8,1.2,1.7,2.5,2.6,
2.6,2.6,2.6,2.6]*0.75   ; fudge factor
if n_elements(yrloc) ne n_elements(valadj)
then message,'Oooops!'

yearlyadj=interpol(valadj,yrloc,timey)

What does this Mean? A review of the code line-by-line
Starting off Easy
Lines 1-3 are comments
Line 4
yrloc is a 20 element array containing:
1400 and 19 years between 1904 and 1994 in increments of 5 years…

yrloc = [1400, 1904, 1909, 1914, 1919, 1924, 1929, ... , 1964, 1969, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994]

findgen() creates a floating-point array of the specified dimension. Each element of the array is set to the value of its one-dimensional subscript

F = indgen(6) ;F[0] is 0.0, F[1] is 1.0….. F[6] is 6.0

Pretty straightforward, right?
Line 5
valadj, or, the “fudge factor” array as some arrogant programmer likes to call it is the foundation for the manipulated temperature readings. It contains twenty values of seemingly random numbers. We’ll get back to this later.
Line 6
Just a check to make sure that yrloc and valadj have the same number of attributes in them. This is important for line 8.
Line 8
This is where the magic happens. Remember that array we have of valid temperature readings? And, remember that random array of numbers we have from line two? Well, in line 4, those two arrays are interpolated together.
The interpol() function will take each element in both arrays and “guess” at the points in between them to create a smoothing effect on the data. This technique is often used when dealing with natural data points, just not quite in this manner.
The main thing to realize here, is, that the interpol() function will cause the valid temperature readings (yrloc) to skew towards the valadj values.
What the heck does all of this mean?
Well, I’m glad you asked. First, let’s plot the values in the valadj array.

Look familiar? This closely resembles the infamous hockey stick graph that Michael Mann came up with about a decade ago. By the way, did I mention Michael Mann is one of the “scientists” (and I use that word loosely) caught up in this scandal?
Here is Mann’s graph from 1999

As you can see, (potentially) valid temperature station readings were taken and skewed to fabricate the results the “scientists” at the CRU wanted to believe, not what actually occurred.

Where do we go from here?

It’s not as cut-and-try as one might think. First and foremost, this doesn’t necessarily prove anything about global warming as science. It just shows that all of the data that was the chief result of most of the environmental legislation created over the last decade was a farce.

This means that all of those billions of dollars we spent as a global community to combat global warming may have been for nothing.

If news station anchors and politicians were trained as engineers, they would be able to find real proof and not just speculate about the meaning of emails that only made it appear as if something illegal happened.

Conclusion

I tried to write this post in a manner that transcends politics. I really haven’t taken much of an interest in the whole global warming debate and don’t really have a strong opinion on the matter. However, being part of the Science Community (I have a degree in Physics) and having done scientific research myself makes me very worried when arrogant jerks who call themselves “scientists” work outside of ethics and ignore the truth to fit their pre-conceived notions of the world. That is not science, that is religion with math equations.

IF AGW WAS REAL AND IF IT WAS REALLY OCCURRING AND MEASURABLE, THEN THESE SCIENTISTS WOULDN'T HAVE TO RESORT TO LYING, CHEATING AND OBFUSCATING.

AGW = BS. TOTAL EFFIN' BS.

CHECK THE WALLS OF THE CLASSROOMS IN YOUR AREA

As a taxpayer, whether or not you have children, you can enter the classrooms of the public schools. You may have to jump through some hoops to do so, but you can visit.

According to Glenn Beck, the following poster was on the walls of one public-school classroom (with thanks to Brooke):


Early indoctrination in global warming and the concept of the world community.

The second-grade classroom also displayed the newest book about BHO's dog.

By the way, as a taxpayer in any school district, you have the right to review the textbooks being used. Caution: Many materials used in the classroom are not on the official list of curricula. Many of those materials never make their way to the students' bookbags because of school regulations.

GLOBAL WARMING DOES THE DARNDEST THINGS - RECORD LOW JUNE TEMPS IN CHICAGO

From WGN:

The cloudy, chilly and rainy open to June here has been the talk of the town. So far this June is running more than 12 degrees cooler than last year, and the clouds, rain and chilly lake winds have been persistent. The average temperature at O'Hare International Airport through Friday has been only 59.5 degrees: nearly 7 degrees below normal and the coldest since records there began 50 years ago.

More bad weather is on the way Saturday with a cold rain expected to linger through the bulk of the morning. Rainfall could be heavy -- especially north of the city, which would be a reversal of Thursday's deluge that targeted the southern suburbs.

Al Gore Shares Thoughts on Earth Day Eve

Two years ago this week, I was invited to a lavish estate in the upscale Nashville suburb of Belle Meade and given the opportunity to conduct an exclusive interview of Al Gore about his about-to-be-published book, The Tipper Point: How a Little Change Can Make a Big Difference. Today, for your reading pleasure on the eve of Earth Day 2009, I dust off highlights from that interview of the former vice president-turned author, movie star and global warming activist.

Or should I say globull warming:

UN: 2008 WILL BE COOL

They should have said 2008 will ALSO be cool. FOX: U.N. Forecasters: Global Temperatures to Decrease

Average global temperatures in 2008 are forecast to be lower than in previous years, thanks to the cooling effect of the ocean current in the Pacific, U.N. meteorologists say.

The World Meteorological Organisation's secretary-general, Michel Jarraud, said it was likely that La Nina, an abnormal cooling of sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, would continue into the summer.

If the forecast holds true, global temperatures will not have risen since 1998, prompting some to question climate change theory.

REPEAT:

• global temperatures will not have risen since 1998
• global temperatures will not have risen since 1998
• global temperatures will not have risen since 1998
• global temperatures will not have risen since 1998
• global temperatures will not have risen since 1998

BUT GLOBAL CO2 HAS.

THEREFORE: AGW IS BS.

The verdict is in: Earth in midst of widescale global cooling

DailyTech describes the last twelve months have seen a long drop in world temperatures that literally wipes out a century of warming.

Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile -- the list goes on and on.

No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.

Meteorologist Anthony Watts compiled the results of all the sources. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year's time. For all sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down...

Sounds like I need to sell my hybrid and buy a traditional gas-guzzler. My shpringies are getting frostbitten.

And I wonder how long Al Gore's carbon-offset bunko scam is going to last when penguins start freezing to death.

IOWA: ONE OF THE SNOWIEST WINTERS IN DECADES

DES MOINES REGISTER:

So far - and don't those two words give one pause - Iowa has received an average of 36.7 inches of snow this winter.

That's a foot more than what is normal for this time of year and 4 inches more than the state usually receives for the entire winter season, which begins in November and ends - well, when it ends.

This month, Iowa has received an average of 13.2 inches of snow.

Normal: 6.3 inches.

It's the highest February total since 1994 and the most for any month since December 2000, said Harry Hillaker, the state climatologist.

• THAT'S HARDLY THE STUFF GLOBAL-WARMING IS MADE OF...

ER UM... I MEAN... IF MAN-MADE CO2 CAUSES GLOBAL-WARMING, (AND SINCE MAN-MADE CO2 HAS BEEN STEADILY AND CONSTANTLY INCREASING SINCE 1994), THEN HOW COULD THIS WINTER BE THE COLDEST AND SNOWIEST IN DECADES - ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN BOTH THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES!?!?

• IT' DISPROVES THE AGW HYPOTHESIS. PERIOD.

• AL GORE: PLEASE STFU.

FOR A NEARLY COMPLETE LISTING OF THIS WINTER'S SEVERITY ALL OVER THE GLOBE GO TO GATEWAY, BRRRRR!

$117 BILLION WASTED ON "CLEAN" ENERGY IN 2007

ACHRNews:

The global investment in clean energy grew 41 percent in 2007, reaching $117.2 billion, according to analysts at New Energy Finance Ltd. Wind power drew the greatest amount of investments, followed by solar energy and energy efficiency,

Since climate change is NATURAL and not caused by man-made CO2, ALL of this $117 BILLION is wasted. WE MIGHT AS WELL BE BURNING IT! Heck, it would be better if we burned it, at least then we'd get something out of it: across MOST of the world, IT'S THE COLDEST WINTER IN 100 YEARS!

Add to this all the money wasted on carbon-credits and caps and swaps etc, and well IT'S A MIND-BOGGLING GLOBAL BOONDOGGLE - an elaborate scam, a hoax invented to hurt industry, capitalism, the freemarket, trade AND make buddies of the pol's rich.

TURKEY'S SNOWIEST WINTER IN DECADES CONTINUES

EARTH TIMES:

Ankara - Traffic on major roads, domestic flights and sea transportation was disrupted in Turkey on Sunday after heavy snowfalls across the country, the Anadolu news agency reported. The main highway between Istanbul and Edirne, near the border with Bulgaria and Greece, was closed by police as was the main road between the capital Ankara and the central Anatolian city of Konya.

Dozens of domestic flights were cancelled as were ferries that cross the Dardenelles.

Thousands of villages across the country were cut off by the snow and homeless people were reported to have frozen to death overnight in the western city of Bursa.

Authorities called on people to avoid unnecessary travel and for all vehicles to equipped with snow chains.

With further snow predicted until mid-week, authorities in a number of provinces cancelled school for Monday.

GLOBAL WARMING HYSTERIA ALERT: Attention: Environmentalists, Democrats, Europeans, Movie Stars, Nobel Panelists, ...

... you've all been had:

Is it safe to say we've been scammed yet?
A record cold January has helped winter sea ice grow across the Arctic.

Temperatures in January set cold weather records and caused the Arctic Sea Ice to expand to its previous levels.
The Financial Post reported:
The Cryosphere reported that the Arctic sea ice is back... and it's thick.

The disappearing sea ice that was supposedly going to dramatically change the North, if not the world, is back. Thanks to really cold weather -- gee, where did that come from?--winter sea ice has been growing across the North. "Clearly we're seeing the ice coverage rebound back to more near normal coverage for this time of year," says Gilles Langis, a senior ice forecaster with the Canadian Ice Service in Ottawa.

There goes a good story. And if you doubt me on this, the source is as biased on climate change as sources get: The CBC. And if the weather stays cold, the ice will get even thicker, says the report...

This isn't the only sign of rising sea ice and extra-cold temperatures. The U.S. National Climatic Date Center reported the other day that temperatures in the United States set cold records in January. "The average temperature in January 2008 was 30.5 F. This is -0.3 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average, the 49th coolest January in 114 years."

...As for ice, A University of Illinois report showed that Arctic sea ice is back to its previous level.

The American Thinker reported that not only is the ice growing, but it is growing thick.

Just in case you have never seen it, go here and watch it all. It is well worth your time, and after watching all 9 segments, you will know more about this subject than 3/4 of the so-called "intelligensia" on the planet.

And just in case you haven't read this: it's a must. And it is as true now as when it was written--over 4 years ago.

BILLIONAIRE LIBS AND ACTRESSES PUSH FOR GLOBAL TYRANNY TO STOP "MAN-MADE GLOBAL-WARMING"

AP: UN Seek New Leaders on Global Warming

UNITED NATIONS — Virgin CEO Richard Branson offered Monday to set up an "environmental war room" to lead the world's efforts to find a fix for global warming.

AND THEY SAY THIS WITH A STRAIGHT FACE DESPITE THE FACT THAT 2007-08 IS SHAPING UP AS THE WORST WINTER THE GLOBE HAS HAD IN SEVERAL DECADES!

The British billionaire, speaking at the start of a U.N. debate on climate change, said it would be run by a world figure in global warming and could serve as "a tool for the U.N." to ferret out good ideas and calculate each nation's costs.

IF THAT SOUNDS UN-DEMOCRATIC TO YOU, YOUR RIGHT! THESE ECO-NUTSIES ARE NOT DEMOCRATICALLY INCLINED. BUT OF COURSE; IT'S FOR THE "COMMON GOOD." COMMON GOOD - THAT''S WHAT HITLER CALLED DAS VOLK.

"The 'war room' will be independent of politics," Branson said. "But in the end it will need the United Nations, governments and other organizations to help make sure implementation happens."

HE SAYS INDEPENDENT OF POLITICS, BUT HE MEANS INDEPENDENT OF DEMOCRACY.

Branson outlined the idea at a press conference with U.N. General Assembly President Srgjan Kerim and actress Daryl Hannah, and then again at a luncheon for the delegates attending the two-day debate.

WHO THE F*CK ELECTED BRANSON AND HANNAH ARBITERS OF PERSONAL/COMMERCIAL.GLOBAL CONSUMPTION/PRODUCTION/ENERGY!?

..."This is just as important as stopping nuclear proliferation. This is just as important as stopping terrorism," New York City Mayor [NANNY] Michael Bloomberg said. ... Bloomberg proposed a new U.S. tax on carbon emissions...

OMFG?!?!?!: A LIB RECOMMENDING HIGHER TAXES AND AND MORE REGULATIONS. SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE.

... "In such a case of emergency, leadership is needed," said Kerim, a Macedonian diplomat and economics professor. "This planet does not know where the borders are." ...

• THIS IS THE REFRAIN FROM THE SOCIALIST TRANS-NATIONALISTS: NO BORDERS, NO SOVEREIGNTY. CARBON TAXES AND AMNESTY.
• BRANSON AND HANNAH AND BLOOMBERG - AND THE UNELECTED LEADERS OF THE UN - WANT US TO PUT OUR FAITH IN A LEADER, A FUHRER, A POLITBURO, A BRAIN TRUST - BUT NOT THE FREEMARKET OR IN DEMOCRACY.
• SCREW THEM.

THAT'S WOULD BE A BAD IDEA EVEN IF AGW WERE REAL - WHICH IT IS NOT.

What Branson and Bloomberg and the UN socialists and transnationalists want AND HOW THEY INTEND ON GETTING IT is no different that what Shearman & Smith suggested in their book: The Climate Change Challenge and the Failure of Democracy: they WANT less democracy and more tyrnanny - FOR THE COMMON GOOD, OF COURSE.

LOOK AT IT THIS WAY: They want the AGW trains to run on time.

This has been blogged extensively: Flopping Aces:

Environazi’s exposed! In the new doom and gloom climate change book, The Climate Change Challenge and the Failure of Democracy (Politics and the Environment), the authors tell us that a Democracy like the United States is bad, an authoritarian government like China - good.

In this provocative book, Shearman and Smith present evidence that the fundamental problem causing environmental destruction–and climate change in particular–is the operation of liberal democracy.

Its flaws and contradictions bestow upon government–and its institutions, laws, and the markets and corporations that provide its sustenance–an inability to make decisions that could provide a sustainable society.

Having argued that democracy has failed humanity, the authors go even further and demonstrate that this failure can easily lead to authoritarianism without our even noticing.

Even more provocatively, they assert that there is merit in preparing for this eventuality if we want to survive climate change.

They are not suggesting that existing authoritarian regimes are more successful in mitigating greenhouse emissions, for to be successful economically they have adopted the market system with alacrity.

Nevertheless, the authors conclude that an authoritarian form of government is necessary ...

RECORD BREAKING COLD IN THE MIDWESTERN USA

CNN/AP: Nation's 'Icebox' hits record 40 below zero

The temperature in International Falls, Minnesota, fell to a record 40 below zero Monday, just a few days after the northern Minnesota town won a federal trademark making it officially the "Icebox of the Nation."

It was so cold that resident Nick McDougall couldn't even get his car trunk lid to close after he got out his charger to kick-start his dead battery. By late morning, the temperature had risen all the way to 18 -- below zero.

"This is about as cold as it gets, this is bad. There's no wind -- it's just cold," said McDougall, 48, a worker at The Fisherman, a convenience store and gas station in the town on the Canadian border. "People just don't go out, unless you have to go to work."

Residents of the area use electric engine block heaters to keep their cars from freezing.

"You plug in your car, for sure, and you put the car in the garage if you can," McDougall said. His garage is full of other things, so he had to park outside -- a "big mistake."

The previous record low in International Falls was 37 below, set in 1967, said meteorologist Mike Stewart at the weather service in Duluth. The cold was expected, he said: "When the winds finally died off and the skies cleared off, it just dropped."

The temperature also fell to 40 below in Embarrass, 80 miles southeast of International Falls. That's just one degree above the all-time record in Minneapolis, 250 miles to the south, that was set in January 1888, the weather service said.

LET'S GET THAT STRAIGHT: (a) - The temperature in International Falls, Minnesota, fell to a record 40 below zero Monday... The previous record low in International Falls was 37 below, set in 1967 ;(b) - That's just one degree above the all-time record in Minneapolis, 250 miles to the south, that was set in January 1888, the weather service said.

Er um... it's COLDER than EVER breaking ALL-TIME records set five decades ago. Five decades during which time the atmosphere has had TONS AND AND TONS AND TONS MORE CO2 put in it. YET IT'S COLDER. Colder than EVER in the Midwest USA, in China, all over Central Asia - and they're having records snows in Europe.

This is not the stuff global warming catastrophes are made of. WHAT COULD THIS MEAN!? Simple:

• AGW = BS.
• AL GORE: STFU.

DON'T BE HOODWINKED INTO SUPPORTING HIGHER TAXES OR MORE REGULATIONS TO REDUCE CO2 OR SLOW "MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING" - BECAUSE THERE IS NONE.

IOW: DON'T VOTE DEMOCRAT.
