SHOCKER: European Carbon Credit Trading System Plagued By Fraud.

WE HAD THIS A WEEK AGO. TIM BLAIR LINKED TO IT.

REGULAR READERS KNOW THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
SPREAD THE WORD. BLOGROLL US. BOKMARK US.

DID A BRITISH COURT ISSUE AN ARREST WARRANT FOR TZIPI LIVNI?

If this is so, it shows that even leftists as pretentious as her are not immune to the hatemongering the UK already allows to thrive in that country. The foreign secretary, David Miliband, has apologized to her about this, but it's too late, as the outrage is only just beginning. According to this article, there are quite a few Israeli ministers who could face arrest in England if they make the mistake of going there; very disturbing information. There are demands already that the UK change the laws to make that less possible, but there's no telling if England will really make an effort to fix that.

CAIR MANIPULATES MEDIA COVERAGE OF RIFQA BARY BEHIND THE SCENES

First, Jihad Watch lets us know that the rally for Rifqa originally scheduled for December 22 has been delayed.

But, there's also more: it seems that CAIR, now under investigation by the FBI, has been working behind the scenes on this, and the media has been complicit in their involvement (also via Jihad Watch).

This is very atrocious, and should logically destroy the credibility of Meredith Heagney and Michael Kruse. The most telling thing about the pictures provided is the one saying "DO NOT RELEASE TO PUBLIC" and "FATHIMA RIFQA BARY TALKING POINTS". It's something very eyebrow-raising.

DANES DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS - AND THEY'RE COMING TRUE! (DESPITE AL GORE!)

THIS IS COPENHAGEN TODAY (ABOVE!)

• COPENHAGEN, DENMARK HAS HAD A WHITE CHRISTMAS ONLY SEVEN TIMES IN THE LAST 100 YEARS: 1915, 1923, 1938, 1956, 1969, 1981, 1995.

• AND PROBABLY THIS YEAR.

• ALSO: THEY'RE EXPECTING 4 INCHES OF NEW SNOW.

IT'S AIN'T GETTING ANY WARMER ON EARTH, FOLKS.

AGW = BS.

More Gore lies - this time about global trees

FULL REPORT WITH SATELLITE IMAGE ANALYSIS HERE. EXCERPT:

In this Reuters story (15 December 2009) they report: “Describing a ‘runaway melt’ of the Earth’s ice, rising tree mortality and prospects of severe water scarcities, Gore told a UN audience: ‘In the face of effects like these, clear evidence that only reckless fools would ignore, I feel a sense of frustration’ at the lack of agreement so far.”

Now to most people, “rising tree mortality” raises the specter of a world with less greenery. But how does real world data compare with the virtual modeled world? Is the world getting less greener? Is there any hint of the virtual world in the real world data?

Satellite data for the real world (not the one Mr. Gore lives in) can help give us an idea.

Global

Globally net primary productivity (NPP) has increased. As the IPCC’s WG II report (p. 106) says:

Satellite-derived estimates of global net primary production from satellite data of vegetation indexes indicate a 6% increase from 1982 to 1999, with large increases in tropical ecosystems (Nemani et al., 2003) [Figure 1]. The study by Zhou et al. (2003), also using satellite data, confirm that the Northern Hemisphere vegetation activity has increased in magnitude by 12% in Eurasia and by 8% in NorthAmerica from 1981 to 1999

AGW = BS.

Flashback to 1991: CNN Does Hogan's Heroes

Or something. I vaguely remembered this, but I was a kid when it aired and was unable to recognize just how incredibly bad CNN was.



Seriously. Could they be more pathetic?

Yes, they could and have done so. Remember CNN's little foray into Pallywood earlier this year, when they staged a medical emergency because the Joooooz were supposedly just killing people indiscriminately because Joooooz have no right to defend themselves against terrorists who shoot rockets at preschools?



And who could forget this crazy rant on the part of a CNN producer directed at Knesset member Danny Ayalon, in which Nidal Rafa channels Arafat for three minutes?:



But her grandfather was "in" before 1948 so she's a real Fakestinian. Therefore the Joooooz should leave the land which they've inhabited for 4500 years because the "indigenous" people (who aren't even Arabs, had no contact with Arabs and didn't speak Arabic until 3000 years after the founding of Israel, and are only Semitic because they're Joooooz whose ancestors were forcibly converted, not because they have any Arabian ancestry whatsoever, and if they did, why would they call the Levant their land?) were driven out by other fake Arabs, which is also the Jooooz' fault somehow.

CNN: staying classy and producing great journalism by crazy people's standards for 20 years.

• AVERAGE TEMPERATURE FOR DECEMBER IN COPENHAGEN IS 34F.

COPENHAGEN DENMARK data derived from GHCN 2 Beta. 2385 months between 1768 and 1980

• THURSDAY'S AND FRIDAY'S HIGH TEMPERATURE IS EXPECTED TO BE 30F - WITH SNOW.

YOU'D THINK THAT THIS FACT - AND THE FACT THAT THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF RECORD LOWS AND RECORD SNOWFALLS ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS - WOULD HAVE SOME IMPACT ON THE ECO-FASCISTS.

IT DOESN'T.

THEIR MINDS HAVE BEEN MADE UP.

THEIR MINDS ARE CLOSED.

THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. OR DEBATE IT.

THIS AS MUCH AS ANYTHING ELSE PROVES THEY ARE FULL OF IT, AND THAT THEIR "SCIENCE" IS FLAWED.

IF THE SCIENCE REALLY BACKED THEM UP, THEN THEY'D LOVE TO DEBATE IT.

ABBAS: ISRAEL MUST AGREE TO 1967 BORDERS AS A PRECONDITION FOR TALKS

JPOST: Abbas: No peace talks before recognition of 1967 borders

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday told members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)'s Central Council that he would not be willing to resume peace talks with Israel until the latter stops settlement construction in the West Bank and recognizes the borders of a future Palestinian state, the Chinese News Agency reported.

"If settlement activity were to stop completely for a specific period and borders of a [Palestinian] state were declared within the 1967 borders, we would go to negotiations," Abbas said ahead of the meeting in Ramallah.

During his speech, the PA president called on the world to work toward negotiations that would eventually see a Palestinian state established in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem.

ABBAS/FATAH IS EXPLICITLY REJECTING UNSCR 242; THEREFORE, THEY ARE EXPLICITLY REJECTING THE "PEACE‏ PROCESS":

• UNSCR 242 HAS GOVERNED ALL NEGOTIATIONS (UNTIL NOW); IT SAID THE PARTIES WOULD NEGOTIATE DEFENSIBLE BORDERS; IT DOD NOT SAY ISRAEL HAD TO RETURN TO 1967 BORDERS.

• ABBAS IS NOT ONLY IGNORING UNSCR 242, HE WANTS A FINAL DEAL BEFORE GOING BACK TO THE TABLE!

• IT'S EFFECTIVELY AN ULTIMATUM.

• THIS PROVES THE ENTIRE "PEACE PROCESS" WITH FATAH/PLO/PALESTINIANS IS A SHAM. A FREAKIN' WASTE OF TIME.

ISRAEL OUGHT TO DICTATE TO THE ARABS A FINAL DEAL FOR THE WEST BANK. AND THAT FROM THAT POINT ON, THE IDF IS FREE TO DO AS IT MUST TO ANYONE WHO THREATENS THEM.

CLIMATE SCIENTIST: AL GORE JUST MAKING SH*T UP, NOW

TOL:

Mr Gore, speaking at the Copenhagen climate change summit, stated the latest research showed that the Arctic could be completely ice-free in five years.

In his speech, Mr Gore told the conference:

“These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years.”

However, the climatologist whose work Mr Gore was relying upon dropped the former Vice-President in the water with an icy blast.

“It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at,” Dr Maslowski said. “I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.”

GORE FLAT OUT LIED. WHATTADICKHEAD. IT'S LIKE COING ENITAL WITH HIM: HIS CRAP IS ALWAYS BIGGER, BADDER AND WORSER.

MORE THAN THAT - CUZ IT AIN'T JUST GORE, THE WHOLE DANG ATTEMPT TO SCARE PEOPLE INTO ACCEPTING THE AGW AGENDA BY YELLING ABOUT ARCTIC ICE MELT IS ALL JUST A BUNCH OF FREAKIN BULL.

THE ICE CAP HAS DECLINED MANY TIMES BEFORE. AND IT WAS REPORTED CONTEMPORANEOUSLY IN... THE NYTIMES.

AGW: IT'S ALL A BUNCH OF CRAP. BULLSHIT. I MEAN MANBEARPIGSHIT.

MSM DEATHWATCH: BY FAILING TO REPORT THE HOAX OF THE CENTURY, THE MSM IS COMMITTING SUICIDE

TOL:

Climategate is a global household name. No cat has ever emancipated itself more completely from the bag. It is a world-wide scandal – thanks to the internet.

Yet, as its ramifications proliferate and dominoes continue to fall, the most repeatedly asked question online is: how can the mainstream media ignore this?

Well, we know the answer to that: the MSM are in thrall to the leftist consensus. End of story.

But let me pose a follow-up question that may be becoming more imminently relevant.

Are the mainstream media capable of surviving their sidelining of the number one global scoop? Are they finally committing suicide?

YES.

GOOD RIDDANCE.

MTA WORKERS TO GET 12% RAISE: JUDGE IN PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF NEW YORK HELPS UNIONS AND SCREWS THE LITTLE GUY

NYTIMES:

Next year’s shortfall for the agency came out to $383 million, after sharp drops in state funding and tax revenues.

The problems were compounded last week when a State Supreme Court judge upheld an arbitration ruling awarding 11.5 percent raises to transit workers over the next three years.

• ... Starting mid-year, fewer subway trains would run in the middle of the day, late at night and on weekends.
• Two lines, the W and Z, would stop running altogether,
• and service on the M and G lines would be reduced.
• Several stations in Lower Manhattan would be closed overnight,
• and dozens of bus lines throughout the boroughs would see a reduction or elimination in service.
• ... Under the plan, hundreds of thousands of students who currently receive free or discounted fares on the city’s transit system will lose half of their discount in September 2010, with the rest swept away by September 2011.

AND SO ON...

• MANY MTA CONDUCTORS MAKE $150,000/YEAR ON METRO NORTH.

• AND THEY'RE GETTING A 12% INCREASE.

• TO PAY FOR THE RAISE TO THE 36,000 UNION MEMBERS WHO ARE WORKING, EVERY SINGLE NY'ER IS GONNA HAVETA SUFFER CRAPPIER SERVICE.
  

• THAT'S 3,000,000 CRAPPIER RIDES A DAY TO PAYOFF 36,000 UNION MEMBERS.
  

• HMMMM: YA KNOW, UNIONS THAT DO WORK FOR THE GOV'T SEEM TO DO DO VERY VERY WELL - LIKE THE SEIU AND AFSCME AND THE NEA.

YET THE PEEPS KEEP VOTING DEM.

WANNA STOP THE INSANITY!?

THEN VOTE GOP ON 2010.

MAYOR GREENIE BLOOMBERG: BILLIONAIRE NANNYSTATER; HYPOCRITE; PHONY; AND MEGA-CO2 EMITTER

NYTIMES:

A strong case can be made that when it comes to energy and climate issues, Mr. Bloomberg is the most visionary public official in the country.

And a strong argument can also be made that on a personal level, he ranks among the worst individual polluters ever to hold public office.

Mr. Bloomberg owns a helicopter and two jets, both Falcon 900s. He flies everywhere on private jets, by far the least efficient form of transportation on or above the earth. He takes his jet to Bermuda many weekends. He has flown around the globe on it. He uses it to go to Washington. He is planning to get to Copenhagen for the climate conference by private jet, too.

The carbon math works out like this: by taking his Falcon 900 to Denmark, Mr. Bloomberg will be responsible for the release of 37 times the carbon dioxide than if he and his entourage flew on a scheduled commercial flight.

VISIONARY!?

NO.

JUS' A HYPOCRITICAL PHONY-ASSED MUTHAFREAKIN' NANNYSTATIN' PIECE OF CO2 SPEWIN' CRAP.

LIKE MOST OF THE BIGGIES PUSHING THE LEFTIST AGW AGENDA.

AND IT IS LEFTIST, MERELY STEALTH SOCIALISM.

IT'S JUST THE BIGGIES PUSHING IT - LIKE GORE AND BLOOMBERG AND BLAIR AND SO ON - BELIEVE IN BREZHNEV SOCIALISM.

LIKE REYNOLDS SAYS: "WHEN THOSE WHO ARGUE IT'S A CRISIS START BEHAVING LIKE IT'S A CRISIS, THEN I MIGHT BELIEVE THEM."

HYPOCRITE ALERT: OBAMA DISSES WALL STREET AS FAT CATS

OBAMA RAISED MORE WALL STREET MONEY THAN MCCAIN, AND HAS SEVERAL BIGTIME WALL-STREETERS IN KEY POSITIONS IN HIS ADMINISTRATION.

SO DISSING THEM IS HYPOCRITICAL.

(DETAILS HERE.)

SO IS THE POLICY OBAMA ADVOCATES; HE WANTS BANKS TO LEND MORE, BUT HE WANTS THEM TO LEND MORE CAREFULLY.

THE BANKS CANNOT DO BOTH.

THE BANKS MUST LEND CAREFULLY.



FORCING BANKS TO MAKE BAD LOANS IS WHAT INFLATED THE REAL ESTATE BUBBLE AND LEAD TO OUR RECENT CRASH.



OBAMA IS TRYING TO HAVE HIS CAKE AND EAT IT TOO.

HE CANNOT. NO ONE CAN. AND IT'S ONE REASON WHY HE'S A FREAKIN' LOUSY POTUS.

IT'S FUNDAMENTALLY INDECISIVE.

ONE MUST EITHER HAVE THE CAKE OR EAT IT.

IT'S ONE REASON WHY OBAMA IS THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER: DEFEATING STRAW MEN NEVER SOLVED A REAL PROBLEM.

AND THE WORLD HAS SOME REAL PROBLEMS.



AND OBAMA IS INEFFECTIVELY DEALING WITH THEM.

DESPITE THE IMMINENT END OF THE WORLD DUE TO AGW, 1522 COLD RECORDS WERE SET LAST WEEK, ACCORDING TO NOAA

WUWT:

From the “weather is not climate” department. 815 new snowfall records, 304 low temperature, and 403 lowest max temperature records were set this week.

(USE THE LINK FOR FULL DETAILS AND OTHER LINKS.)

IF MAN-MADE CO2 WAS DRIVING GLOBAL WARMING, THEN THIS WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE.

DESPITE DAILY INCREASES IN GLOBAL ATMOSPHERIC CO2, THE EARTH IS NO LONGER WARMING.

AND THE EARTH HASN'T GOTTEN WARMER THAN IT WAS IN 1998; IT'S BEEN COOLER THAN 1998 EVERY YEAR SINCE 1998.

AGW = BS.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S TROUBLE WITH HARRY REID

OBAMA'S PARTY CONTROLS CONGRESS.

WITH MAJORITIES IN BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE.

AND YET, THIS SELF-PROCLAIMED (AND MSM-ANOINTED) POST-PARTISAN PRESIDENT CANNOT MANAGE TO PASS A HEALTHCARE BILL.

IT HAS TOTALLY STALLED IN HARRY REID'S SENATE.

(THIS IS FITTING; THE SENATE WAS DESIGNED TO BE THE PLACE WHERE BAD BILLS GO TO DIE.)

OBAMA CAN'T PASS A BILL DESPITE THE MAJORITIES - AND DESPITE THE FURIOUS NON-STOP LIES ABOUT THE BILL'S EFFECT ON TAXES AND OUTLAYS AND HOW IT RELATES TO ABORTION.

I DON'T KNOW WHO IS MORE INCOMPETENT AND MENDACIOUS IN THIS MATTER: OBAMA; REID; OR PELOSI.

THEY TRULY SUCK, BIGTIME: INCOMPETENT; RADICAL LEFTISTS WHO HAVE BITTEN OFF MORE THAN THEY CAN CHEW - AND MORE THAN THE PUBLIC IS WILLING TO SWALLOW.

IT'S TIME FOR A REMAKE OF HITCHCOCK'S BIZARRE BLACK COMEDY, THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY...


EACH THINKING THEY MIGHT BE BLAMED FOR HIS DEATH, RESIDENTS IN A QUAINT NEW ENGLAND VILLAGE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE CORPSE OF HARRY.

KINDA LIKE NOBODY WANTS TO ACCEPT BLAME FOR THE FIASCO KNOWN AS OBAMACARE.

I THINK THE REMAKE IS ALREADY A BOMB:


IT'S TOO LATE TO SAVE IT - TOO LATE TO RECUT IT OR RESHOOT SCENES; THOUGH OBAMA IS TRYING.

OBAMACARE IS A FIASCO ANY WAY YOU SLICE IT: IF IT PASSES OR IF IT DOESN'T.

AND IT'S ALL OBAMA'S FAULT.

IF OBAMA WAS 1/100TH AS SHREWD AS BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON, THEN HE'D COBBLE TOGETHER A BIPARTISAN BILL USING ALL OF THE GOP'S HEALTHCARE PROPOSALS, AND THEN TAKE CREDIT FOR IT THE WAY CLINTON DID WITH WELFARE REFORM.

THIS WON'T HAPPEN BECAUSE OBAMA IS A TRUE BLEIVER IN SOCIALISM.
