Snow-Removal Costs Hitting States Hard

Yes, the same news that brings you unending news about the state of polar ice and glaciers is also bringing you this, which shouldn't be happening if we were so warm and all. More empirical evidence to put in your pipe and smoke.   

DENVER -- The blizzards that hit the Midwest and the Eastern Seaboard this month rang up huge snow-removal bills for cash-strapped state and local governments -- and left officials scrambling to figure out how they will pay to clear roads later in the winter.

Maryland's State Highway Administration has spent more than $27 million this year on snow removal, the bulk of that clearing away a massive pre-Christmas storm. But the agency's annual snow-removal budget is just $26 million.

Record-setting White Christmas Across U.S.

More laughs following that stupid Copen-faken and Climategate crap. More empirical evidence for you to stuff in your bong and smoke, global warming alarmists. OK City broke a snow record set in 1914.

MILWAUKEE — Residents across the Midwest and the Plains who made it home for Christmas were digging out on Friday after a fierce snowstorm while those who spent the night in airports and shelters tried to resume their journeys. Meteorologists warned that roads across the region remained dangerous.

The National Weather Service said blizzards would hit parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin through Saturday. The storm had already dumped significant snow across the region, including a record 14 inches in Oklahoma City and 11 inches in Duluth, Minn., on Thursday.

Build-A-Bearville Takes Down FEAR Videos

As a follow-up to the Build-A-Bear global warming indoctrination fiasco, here's a letter from the company CEO, Maxine Clark, as she attempts to do some DAMAGE CONTROL. LOL! Note that she says she was trying to "inspire children, through the voices of our animal characters, to make a difference in their own individual ways." Uh huh...yeah...sure. LOL! I guess they remembered that THEY ARE A CAPITALIST COMPANY that depends on FOSSIL FUELS to not only build their dumb, piece-o-crap toys, but also to get those toys to the consumer.

Obviously, the backlash put the fear in them, even though they're desperately trying to save face in this ridiculous, backpedaling letter. I challenge all of you Moms and Dads out there to be on the lookout for this environmentalist indoctrination elsewhere (including at school), because they're trying to brainwash you and your kids. There's nothing wrong with reducing pollution and recycling for the purposes of simply being a good steward of the planet. However, global warming alarmism has taken on a political life of its own, based on faulty, junk science. The Earth IS NOT heating up, and there IS NO CONSENSUS. Educate yourselves from other sources than the "mainstream media," which is in the can for all liberal initiatives--especially global warming.

Letter from Maxine Clark regarding online webisodes, posted December 22, 2009

Dear Associates, Guests and Partners,

We have received inquiries regarding our online webisodes and would like to provide you with the following information.

Our goal is to entertain and engage the imagination of children with our stuffed animals, our store environment, and online. Our intention with the Polar Bear story was to inspire children, through the voices of our animal characters, to make a difference in their own individual ways. We did not intend to politicize the topic of global climate change or offend anyone in any way. The webisodes concluded this week with Santa successfully leaving on his journey to deliver gifts around the world. The webisodes will no longer be available on the site.

I started Build-A-Bear Workshop as a place for families and children to come for a fun experience combining imagination, creativity and empowerment. I have always placed great value in the trust that our Guests have in our brand.

At Build-A-Bear Workshop we also strive to encourage kids to help others by participating in their communities. We listen to parents and kids about topics that they are interested in and care about. We especially value the input of parents. We are listening and taking all points of view into consideration for the future.

Copen-faken Kills Alliance and Carbon Trading

Copen-faken. It was supposed to be the culminating moment for Obama to begin his world rule. As it turns out, there's not much to the 'unprecedented agreement.' What happened? Climategate. Al Gore caught in a lie. Prince Charles opened his stupid trap again. Hypocrisy. Communist tirades and protests. Infighting. Bickering. And cold weather. LOL! So much for that bullshit. Rest in pieces!

Cracks emerged on Tuesday in the alliance on climate change formed at the Copenhagen conference last week, with leading developing countries criticising the resulting accord.

The so-called BASIC countries – Brazil, South Africa, India and China – backed the accord in a meeting with the US on Friday night, and it was also supported by nearly all other nations at the talks, including all of the biggest emitters.

[From FT.com / Global Economy - Climate change alliance crumbling]

Carbon prices plunged yesterday in the aftermath of the Copenhagen conference on climate change, dealing a blow to the credibility of the European Union's carbon-trading scheme.

Prices for carbon permits for December 2010 delivery, the benchmark contract for pricing European permits, dropped nearly 10 per cent in early trading, before recovering to end the day 8.3 per cent lower at €12.41.

Lower prices give companies less incentive to invest in cutting their greenhouse gas output. Analysts estimate that prices of more than €40 a tonne are required to stimulate investment in new low-carbon technologies.

[From FT.com / UK - Carbon prices fall in wake of Copenhagen]

Record Cold in U.S. and Europe

Amid the media-propped hoax that is global warming, the Universe continues to smite us for our arrogance. Copen-faken was a farce, and Climategate was the decisive preamble. Now, weather takes over the postlude role, as if to set the final nail in the coffin. Actually, the empirical evidence against global warming has been going on for years now. No one will listen. Wonder why?

It's not definite yet, but it has an uncanny resemblance to the East Coast storm last Saturday," meteorologist Paul Douglas posted Monday on his Facebook page. "I want to see one to two more computer runs, but this could be the snowiest Christmas for Minnesota in 30 years."

More than 100 people have been killed in the cold snap across Europe, with temperatures plummeting and snowfall causing chaos from Moscow to Milan.

In Poland, where temperatures have dropped to as low as -20C in some areas, police appealed for tip-offs about people spotted lying around outside. At least 42 people, most of them homeless, died over the weekend.

Build-A-Bear to Kids: Santa Will Die

So Build-A-Bear has created a web site just for kids, Build-A-Bear-Ville (http://www.buildabearville.com/). Seems innocent enough, until you dig a little further. As it turns out, Build-A-Bear (that store, likely in your local mall, that creates cute, cuddly stuffed animals for your kids while you wait) is a global warming activist company. The video series implies Santa's impending doom, as the North Pole melts under his feet. This is ironic, since they're assaulting capitalism--the very institution that allows their stupid company to exist.

GASP!: Fido Worse Than SUV

Normally, global warming news stories single out animals for extinction at the hands of our evil capitalistic ways, but this is a new angle: Puppy is worse for climate change than an SUV. This follows a theme lately, where liberals seem to be pulling back from their SUV hatred, because so many of them hypocritically drive SUVs, LOL! Let's see how many rat-dog totting liberals in Hollywood will give up their sweater-clad puppies.

This is just more of the same stupidity, where government seeks to control every aspect of your life--from what light bulbs you use to whether or not you can have a pet. Welcome to the New World Order.

Need some more silliness? Read our GASP! series and the warmlist.

PARIS – Man's best friend could be one of the environment's worst enemies, according to a new study which says the carbon pawprint of a pet dog is more than double that of a gas-guzzling sports utility vehicle.

But the revelation in the book "Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living" by New Zealanders Robert and Brenda Vale has angered pet owners who feel they are being singled out as troublemakers.

Post-Copenhagen: Europe Battles Bitter Cold

Following close on the heels of Copen-faken, Climategate, and continuing 'solution' stories, Mother Nature continues ignoring our dumb asses and pummeling us with bitter cold and snow. Empirical evidence has been ongoing for years now, and our 'fair' media reports on it often--NOT!

WARSAW, Poland -- Snowstorms and subfreezing temperatures have battered Europe, killing 15 people in Poland alone overnight and wreaking havoc on air, train and car travelers from the Nordics to Italy on the last weekend before Christmas.

France's civil aviation authority ordered the cancellation of 40% of flights out of Paris' Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports Sunday through the mid-afternoon.

Another Moronic Solution

Yep, it's dumb-solution time for a nonexistent problem. This would go along with Obama's promise to block the sun's rays to end global warming. LOL! Fitting that this guy is from Microsoft. Some of these idiots must really believe the Earth is heating up (Earth hasn't warmed since 1998) to try these potentially damaging ideas. There's a liberal segment of humanity that has chosen supreme arrogance over contemplating any possibility of an organizing higher power in the Universe.

Nathan Myhrvold also thinks that he has found a cheap and reliable way to solve global warming, which does not involve upending and perhaps destroying the world's economy. The global warming solution proposed by Nathan Myhvold involves running a hose up to the stratosphere with balloons and using that hose to pump out enough sulfur particles to dim the sun's heat just enough to counteract the effects of global warming. The estimated cost would be about two hundred and fifty million dollars.

Nathan Myhrvold suggests that volcanoes and other natural processes already pump out sulfur into the stratosphere and that his scheme, if adopted, would increase that amount by only one percent. Nathan Myhrvold therefore thinks that there would not be any unintended consequences (like starting a new ice age.)

Europe's Cap and Trade Tied to Organized Crime

No, our stupid government won't heed the warning, because our current government IS practically organized crime.

The top cops in Europe say carbon-trading has fallen prey to an organized crime scheme that has robbed the continent of $7.4 billion -- a massive fraud that lawmakers and energy experts say should send a "red flag" to the U.S., where the House approved cap-and-trade legislation over the summer amid stiff opposition.

In a statement released last week, the Europol police agency said Europe's cap-and-trade system has been the victim of organized crime during the past 18 months, resulting in losses of roughly $7.4 billion. The agency, headquartered in the Netherlands, estimated that in some countries up to 90 percent of the entire market volume was caused by fraudulent activities.

Prince Char-latan Changes Doom Prediction YET AGAIN!

Not to be outdone by the other morons at Copen-faken's climate change conference, hypocrite Prince Charles used his private jet to fly in and issue another absurd prediction. This 7-year prediction is strangely in-line with Al Gore's admittedly flawed prediction earlier in the week about the North Pole melting in 7 years. Before that, his last prediction had our doom pegged at 18 months, if you'll remember. He has, once more, lengthened his prediction. Global warming alarmists destroy their own cause simply through all the exaggerated claims they issue to incite fear.

To all the global warming believers out there: Are you all really this dumb and naive? In 10 years, I hope you'll understand how duped you've been. There truly is a sucker born every minute, regardless of who said uttered that wonderful pontification.

Not many people understand climate change. But they can recognise hypocrisy when they see it, and are also likely to count their spoons whenever wild-eyed politicians invoke the impending end of the world.

On Tuesday, Prince Charles flew to Copenhagen to attend the climate change summit, where he delivered a keynote speech.

He informed his audience that 'the world has only seven years before we lose the levers of control'. Not at all long, then.

Let OBAMA 'Be Clear' About 'Unprecedentedness'

There are two phrases you'll find in just about every speech given by Thulsa Doom Obama--"let me be clear" and "unprecedented." You see, everything he does, to include taking a crap, is UNPRECEDENTED in his narcissistic world. However, it is true that Copen-faken was an unprecedented farce that accomplished nothing except spewing tons of carbon into the air.

The fact that Thulsa Doom Obama uses the phrase let me be clear all the time is also quite telling; the implication of that phrase IS QUITE CLEAR. The fact is that this man is NEVER CLEAR, and his use of the phrase tells you that. He means, "Hey, all the other times I talk, I'm not clear, but you should listen this time, because I'm not hiding anything from you right now."

COPENHAGEN (AP) - President Barack Obama said the United States, China and several other countries reached an "unprecedented breakthrough" Friday to curb greenhouse gas emissions - including a mechanism to verify compliance - after a frenzied day of diplomacy at the U.N. climate talks.

All the experts says the effects of climate change will be felt most in Alaska, home of the ex-governor who contends climate change is no big deal.

Good thing she wasn't in Valdez this week when the citizenry got buried under a record snowfall. We're not talking about your ordinary little dump here. That was in Copenhagen, where world leaders were meeting to discuss what to do about global warming and the Bloomberg news service was warning that Barack Obama and the rest would "face freezing weather as a blizzard dumped 10 centimeters (4 inches) of snow on the Danish capital overnight.''

Four inches overnight? Valdez got more than four inches per hour at the height of the snowstorm that began there Monday and ran through the week. By the time the citizens of Alaska's only oil port finally caught a break, the snow was piled 5 feet, 8 inches deep.

The planet may be saved after all, and it will only cost $100 billion.

Consider the hero's welcome that Chavez just received there for his Marxist diatribe. Global warming is not REAL. It's politics masquerading as science to produce FEAR.

But then he wound up to his grand conclusion – 20 minutes after his 5 minute speaking time was supposed to have ended and after quoting everyone from Karl Marx to Jesus Christ - “our revolution seeks to help all people…socialism, the other ghost that is probably wandering around this room, that’s the way to save the planet, capitalism is the road to hell....let’s fight against capitalism and make it obey us.” He won a standing ovation.

COPENHAGEN -- The United Nations' effort to muster global action against climate change appeared to move backward Tuesday, as the world's leading economies traded barbs over the most basic questions about how to divide responsibility for curbing greenhouse-gas emissions.

Polar Bear Demands to See Climategate Scientist

I love watching this BS go down in flames.

To a chorus of boos, a man dressed as a polar bear entered Copenhagen's main conference center Tuesday and began paging the discredited climate scientist whose hacked e-mails sparked the Climate-Gate scandal.

Using a megaphone to pierce the rumble of hundreds gathered inside the Bella Center, which is hosting the city's global climate summit, the polar bear boomed out:

"PHIL JONES??? HAS ANYONE SEEN PHIL JONES???"

1940s Glacial Melt Culprit: The Sun

This little bit of news won't make the alarmists happy. It's the Sun, stupid! Yep, our climate system is COMPLICATED and we are a bunch of gnats to this Earth.

A surge in sunshine more than 60 years ago helped Swiss mountain glaciers melt faster than today, even though warmer average temperatures are being recorded now, Swiss researchers said Monday.

Their study into the impact of solar radiation on Alpine glaciers made the "surprising discovery" that in the 1940s, and especially summer 1947, the ice floes lost the most ice since measurements begin 95 years ago, according to Zurich's Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ).

[From Sunshine speeded 1940s Swiss glacier melt: scientists]

Gore Admits North Pole Faux Pas

First, this is why Al Gore won't debate anyone. He knows he's pulling BS out of his butt and putting it out there as unassailable science. Down with this moron already and his alarmist accomplices. Here, Gore is taking a global warming scientist--one of the people he's counting on to save his ass--and ascribing assertions to the scientist that the scientist claims he never made. Gore is throwing one of his own under the bus just to pump up his already huge ego; this is why he turns off microphones when challenged on his stupid Power Point shows.

Second, the climate alarmists concluded in 2008 that the North Pole would melt completely IN THE SUMMER OF 2008. Guess what? IT NEVER HAPPENED. Another example of our media dropping the ball and avoiding the hard questions and EVEN HARDER follow up, after these stupid predictions don't happen. Even if it did, the Earth's sea levels WOULD NOT RISE. This is based on basic scientific knowledge--the Archimedes Principle.

Oh, and what news organization reported this? The U.K. press! Once again, they're carrying the banner where our liberal media falters.

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.”

Mr Gore’s office later admitted that the 75 per cent figure was one used by Dr Maslowksi as a “ballpark figure” several years ago in a conversation with Mr Gore.

[From Inconvenient truth for Al Gore as his North Pole sums don't add up - Times Online ]

Developing Countries to World: PAY UP

You see? The developing countries just want the developed countries (like us) to PAY UP. This is all about PAYING UP, no matter which way you look at it or what you believe about the science. The solution involves money in various forms--oil taxes to "solve" it, carbon credits for Al Gore's company, expensive "green" products, or continuing huge research grants for climate scientists. And when reputations are in danger of going into the toilet due to counter-empirical evidence and unequivocal proof that it's all a hoax, you see politicians, scientists, and media types move to protect this pseudo-religion from further scrutiny. That's why the BS myth is continuing to be propped up after being thoroughly debunked. Reputations, when you think about it, all equal money, and many liars right now don't want to pay up.

Developing countries brought the negotiations to a halt earlier Monday with their demand that rich countries offer much deeper cuts in their greenhouse gas emissions.

Still believe those Climategate revelations are meaningless? If they're so meaningless, why do people like this U.N. dufus and Al Gore continue to avoid debate at all costs by resorting to armed goons and turning off microphones?

McAleer, a veteran journalist and film maker, has recently made a documentary “Not Evil Just Wrong’ which takes a sceptical look at the science and politics behind Global Warming concerns.

Journalist and Mother of Two: Have Only One Kid

What do green psychos want to regulate? Anything that they feel will save the Earth. Here we see them wanting to regulate your sex and reproduction life, but not their own. You see, only they are omnipotent enough to know what's good for the planet.

They are arrogant and moronic (and, as you can see, HYPOCRITICAL) in their narcissism. Throw this one into the stupid AGW solution dustbin.

The "inconvenient truth" overhanging the UN's Copenhagen conference is not that the climate is warming or cooling, but that humans are overpopulating the world.

A planetary law, such as China's one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days.

The world's other species, vegetation, resources, oceans, arable land, water supplies and atmosphere are being destroyed and pushed out of existence as a result of humanity's soaring reproduction rate.

Ostriches Fall Back On Tainted Climategate Data

There hasn't been warming since 1998 (according to their baseline), and yet we're being told this will be the warmest decade on record?!?

Someone is full of BS, and I don't think it is the climate skeptics; it's the scientists whose reputations are on the line, and their not going to go down without a fight.

"The e-mails, however, demonstrate that a cabal of supposed 'cream-of-the-crop' climate scientists were indeed successful in getting editors of journals that had published contrarian views fired and that they conspired to boycott journals that did not bend to their wishes -- therefore ensuring that such views would not be adequately represented in IPCC Assessment Reports," Sensenbrenner wrote.

But supporters of putting curbs on fossil fuel emissions say that despite the questionable nature of the e-mails, they don't undermine the science, and point to the latest data from the very agencies wrapped up in the scandal.

Shock: Many Scientists Disagree on Global Warming

Yes, surprise, surprise indeed. I've been saying this all along, but it's good to see someone else say the same thing. There is no unassailable agreement or consensus. That assertion...along with manmade global warming...is a MYTH! This is only a surprise if you just accept the mainstream media's assertions that debate is over.

As the Climate-gate controversy continues to grow, amid charges of hiding and manipulating data, and suppressing research by academics who challenge global warming, there is one oft-repeated defense: other independent data-sets all reach the same conclusions. "I think everybody is clear on the science. I think scientists are clear on the science ... I think that this notion that there's some debate . . . on the science is kind of silly," said President Obama's Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, when asked about the president's response to the controversy on Monday. Despite the scandal, Britain's Met, the UK’s National Weather Service, claims: "we remain completely confident in the data. The three independent data sets show a strong correlation is highlighting an increase in global temperatures."

But things are not so clear. It is not just the University of East Anglia data that is at question. There are about 450 academic peer-reviewed journal articles questioning the importance of man-made global warming. The sheer number of scientists rallying against a major intervention to stop carbon dioxide is remarkable. In a petition, more than 30,000 American scientists are urging the U.S. government to reject the Kyoto treaty. Thus, there is hardly the unanimity among scientists about global warming or mankind's role in producing it. But even for the sake of argument, assuming that there is significant man-made global warming, many academics argue that higher temperatures are actually good. Higher temperatures increase the amount of land to grow food, increase biological diversity, and improve people's health. Increased carbon dioxide also promotes plant growth.

[From FOXNews.com - Surprise, Surprise, Many Scientists Disagree On Global Warming]

It's the Sun, Stupid (again)

You needn't be a climatologist to understand the statistical problems with manmade global warming theory. To say the last 200 years are the warmest in Earth's history (or equally disturbing assertions such as this decade is the warmest ever--laughable), it means you have to accept THEIR baseline--the level or range considered to be 'normal' that can then be used to show dramatic shifts--either up or down--in the data. Remember, the Earth is 4.5 billion years old, and humans have existed for a "gnat's length" comparatively. The Industrial Revolution--the genesis of the blame period that lasts until present day--was just about 200 years ago.

Finally, to acquire the baseline of normalcy, data (of which 150 years worth has now been deleted by the CRU at East Anglia) must be manipulated to account for numerous variables. So, they take 30 years of satellite observations, tree ring data, current day temperatures, and so on (each with their own potential measurement problems or SOURCES OF ERROR) and use computer models to produce the baseline of 200 years through which they claim to show we humans, through our modern ways, are heating the Earth to the breaking point. Never mind that they can IN NO WAY account for all the variables in the complex climate system. We can't even do it now with 100% certainty when predicting a hurricane's landfall point; we can only supply a probable range. We can't even accurately predict weather five days out, even with our technology and arrogant so-called 'brainpower.'

But the climate alarmist-scientist establishment doesn't want you to remember the Medieval Warm Period. They once produced graphs for the IPCC that omitted this period and tried to dream of ways to extricate it from history. You see...the Medieval Warm Period, where life really prospered before the follow-on mini ice age, is an INCOVENIENT TRUTH to climate alarmists.

The Sun. We are currently in a cooling trend on Earth that is measurable. The Sun, consequently, has some of the lowest measureable activity in recent history. Coincidence? That's hard to swallow.

The paper highlights a few scientists, including Professor Henrik Svensmark, a physicist at the Danish National Space Center in Copenhagen, who said the recent warming period was caused by solar activity.

Svensmark said that the last time the world experienced such high temperatures, during the medieval warming period, the Sun and the Earth were in a similar cycle.

Professor Nils-Axel Morner, a geologist from Stockholm University, said sea-level rise has also been exaggerated by the "climate alarmists" using computer models.

He said observational data from lake sediments, coast lines and trees show sea levels have remained stable.

British Lord Vader to Tax Frequent Fliers

This guy should change his name to Lord Vader.

This is what's coming for you if you don't stand up and stop this insanity. The government and private sector will shift this burden ON TO YOU. There's no one else. We're the government in the U.S., though you wouldn't think that by watching our current representatives. If they use the old 'charge it to the rich man' paradigm then you'll still pay. The 'rich man' in a capitalist country is the one who hires people and makes products; the rich man will simply hire less, fire more, or raise the cost of the product. So who's really paying? YOU ARE!

It's time to throw these bums out. The bums ignoring Climategate and sticking to the tried-and-true consensus argument, though now thoroughly discredited. I'm not sure voters can sack a "Lord" in the British parliament, but they can speak democratically (with a small "d") in other ways.

The chairman of the Government's Committee on Climate Change suggested those who flew more often should face higher levies than those who travelled infrequently.

Lord Turner was speaking as the Committee unveiled its report which said drastic action – including higher taxes – were needed to curb the growth in aviation demand over the next four decades.

In its report, the Committee said that the number of people flying to and from British airports should increase by no more than 60 per cent by 2050 for the Government to meet its target of ensuring that aviation's carbon emissions are no higher then than they were in 2005.

Eat Less Meat and Dairy, Sustainably

The commissars of global warming are at it again. They want to regulate sex, food, alcohol, milk, and EVERYTHING, all in the name of being SUSTAINABLE...the new global warming fad buzz word.

You see if you fart less, you'll help save the planet from those atrocious greenhouse gases in your butt. If you have less sex then you won't be breathing out as much CO2. Make sense yet? You're right...it doesn't.

Besides, Al Gore's fat meat-eating butt isn't about to give up his steaks. Remember...these a-holes are HYPOCRITES. Do as they say, not as they do.

And the dissing of the Climategate reality goes on and on.

The first official recommendations for a diet that is both healthy and good for the environment are published today, and they are likely to be seen as an assault on the UK's current food system.

To fight climate change and tackle the growing crisis of diet-related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer, British consumers must cut down on meat and dairy produce, reduce their intake of processed foods and curb waste.

Smoking Code of Climategate

Have you been suckered by the liberal excuses on Climategate that the 'hacked' emails have been taken out of context? Well, here's a skeptical scientist's breakdown of computer code hacked from the CRU of East Anglia University at the same time that shows how a computer model was manipulated to produce the 'hockey stick' graph showing a large uptick in temperatures. Remember, the supposed hacker didn't just 'steal' emails; they swiped a lot of files, including this script or code file.

If you've had any computer programming courses, this stuff will make more sense to you, and you'll see what the author is talking about.

Outrage at Copenhagen: Leaked Agreement

Still not convinced after Climategate that this is all a huge political money and power grab? Just read this article. If this was such a manmade crisis in which the U.S., U.K., and Denmark REALLY believed, do you think they'd be making secret deals to RAISE carbon allotments at the expense of lesser nations?

It's almost laughable what a joke all this is.

The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing countries reacted furiously to leaked documents that show world leaders will next week be asked to sign an agreement that hands more power to rich countries and sidelines the UN's role in all future climate change negotiations.

The document is also being interpreted by developing countries as setting unequal limits on per capita carbon emissions for developed and developing countries in 2050; meaning that people in rich countries would be permitted to emit nearly twice as much under the proposals.

The so-called Danish text, a secret draft agreement worked on by a group of individuals known as "the circle of commitment" – but understood to include the UK, US and Denmark – has only been shown to a handful of countries since it was finalised this week.

The agreement, leaked to the Guardian, is a departure from the Kyoto protocol's principle that rich nations, which have emitted the bulk of the CO2, should take on firm and binding commitments to reduce greenhouse gases, while poorer nations were not compelled to act.

U.N. Ostrich, Ban Ki-moon

Climategate damage control continues.

Sorry Moonie, but there is DEFINITELY doubt...IF you ask the right scientists. If you ask your corrupt partners in the IPCC, prominent members of which are at East Anglia University's CRU and responsible for this corrupt data and for obstructing skeptical scientific opinions, they'll stick to the party line and say man is STILL responsible. If you ask liberals and environmentalists throughout the world, you'll get the party line--humans are responsible. If you ask REAL scientists trying uphold scientific standards and ethics (in line with Carl Sagan's Baloney Detection Kit), you'll see that THERE IS DOUBT WHETHER HUMANS ARE CONTRIBUTING TO CLIMATE CHANGE.

Why would scientists need to lie and make up stuff if there was NO DOUBT?!?

I'm telling you...humans are mere gnats to this great planet; we are NOT causing the Earth to heat up or cool off with our pathetic fart gases, water vapor, and CO2.

UNITED NATIONS, Dec 8 (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Tuesday that emails leaked from a British university have done nothing to undermine the United Nations' view that climate change is accelerating due to humans.

"Nothing that has come out in the public as a result of the recent email hackings has cast doubt on the basic scientific message on climate change and that message is quite clear -- that climate change is happening much, much faster than we realized and we human beings are the primary cause," he said.

Copen-faken: The Peak of Environmentalist Hypocrisy

Climategate broke just a few weeks ago (and probably most in the U.S. are unaware because of the media blackout on the subject), but that's not stopping the top manmade global warming cult members from meeting and reassuring each other, all while pumping tons of carbon into the air in the name of not pumping carbon into the air.

You see, these elites won't inconvenience themselves; they won't do away with their luxuries. You, on the other hand--my fellow, common world citizen, will be expected to make up the difference and pay. Especially you capitalists out there. You will be inconvenienced and you will pay in some fashion for all this bullshit. All so that these morons can claim additional power over you and your life and pretend that they saved you from yourself.

"We thought they were not going to have many cars, due to it being a climate convention," she says. "But it seems that somebody last week looked at the weather report."

Ms Jorgensen reckons that between her and her rivals the total number of limos in Copenhagen next week has already broken the 1,200 barrier. The French alone rang up on Thursday and ordered another 42. "We haven't got enough limos in the country to fulfil the demand," she says. "We're having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden."

And the total number of electric cars or hybrids among that number? "Five," says Ms Jorgensen. "The government has some alternative fuel cars but the rest will be petrol or diesel. We don't have any hybrids in Denmark, unfortunately, due to the extreme taxes on those cars. It makes no sense at all, but it's very Danish."

EPA Formally Declares CO2 as 'Endangering'

Did Climategate just happen? All the faithful sheep refuse to have their belief shaken a bit; all hail the EPA. Say goodbye to more of your money; you will now pay more for fuel, electricity, or any other energy need that you may have. Why? Because who is "the government"? You are, my friend. And you're now responsible for this travesty; you elected it...it's all yours.

Obama wants to create jobs? Not this way. Any "jobs" created will be the imaginary kind much like those claimed right now with >10% unemployment. Green jobs are apparently being created by BS. This CO2 regulation is such a HORRIBLE business DISINCENTIVE. All products that are produced with fossil fuels (i.e., EVERYTHING) will now cost more. Your taxes will be higher. You wanted to believe this global warming bullshit? Well, pay up.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Environmental Protection Agency has concluded greenhouse gases are endangering people's health and must be regulated, signaling that the Obama administration is prepared to contain global warming without congressional action if necessary.
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson scheduled a news conference for later Monday to announce the so-called endangerment finding, officials told The Associated Press, speaking privately because the announcement had not been made.

The finding is timed to boost the administration's arguments at an international climate conference—opening Monday—that the United States is aggressively taking actions to combat global warming, even though Congress has yet to act on climate legislation.

[From EPA: Greenhouse gases endanger human health]

Many business groups are opposed to EPA efforts to curb a gas as ubiquitous as carbon dioxide.

An EPA endangerment finding "could result in a top-down command-and-control regime that will choke off growth by adding new mandates to virtually every major construction and renovation project," U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue said in a statement. "The devil will be in the details, and we look forward to working with the government to ensure we don't stifle our economic recovery," he said, noting that the group supports federal legislation.

The Obama administration is expected to formally declare carbon dioxide a dangerous pollutant. WSJ's Jeffrey Ball and MarketWatch's Steve Gelsi explain what the decision could mean for companies.

EPA action won't do much to combat climate change, and "is certain to come at a huge cost to the economy," said the National Association of Manufacturers, a trade group that stands as a proxy for U.S. industry.

GASP!: Little Girl Asks Copenhagen Attendees to 'Save World'

Remember what Pelosi said. She's trying to save the planet. LOL! She's trying to save the planet from a bunch of NOTHING, and so are all these bozos at the Copenhagen conference. Our children are a constant target of indoctrination and are being used as pawns to guilt us into thinking capitalism is bad.

I'm just trying to see how long it will take--amid Climategate--for the people of the world to revolt against all this nonsense. Global warming has been exposed and debunked, but these liberals aren't going to let their boondoggle go without a fight.

What do alarmists resort to? Alarm, of course. Read our GASP! series and the warmlist to see just how out of control this scam THAT CAUSES EVERYTHING has become.

Opening ceremonies began with a short film featuring children of the future facing an apocalypse of tempests and desert landscapes if world leaders failed to act today.

"There will be hundreds of millions of refugees," Rajendra Pachauri, head of the UN's panel of climate scientists, said in the film.
"Please help save the world," said a little girl, plaintively.

Climate Science Fiction of 1970s

Many of us skeptics have seen the Newsweek, Time, and the New York Times stories about the coming ice age from the mid-1970s. Just so you know, that wasn't just media-fed fear. Government-connected climate scientists were saying the same things then and wrote a textbook about it. LOL! Are we really all this dumb? Apparently so. It looks like it took an email leak to bring this Goliath down.

Many of you are too young to remember, but in 1975 our government pushed "the coming ice age."

Random House dutifully printed "THE WEATHER CONSPIRACY … coming of the New Ice Age." This may be the only book ever written by 18 authors. All 18 lived just a short sled ride from Washington, D.C. Newsweek fell in line and did a cover issue warning us of global cooling on April 28, 1975. And The New York Times, Aug. 14, 1976, reported "many signs that Earth may be headed for another ice age."

OK, you say, that's media. But what did our rational scientists say?

In 1974, the National Science Board announced: "During the last 20 to 30 years, world temperature has fallen, irregularly at first but more sharply over the last decade. Judging from the record of the past interglacial ages, the present time of high temperatures should be drawing to an end…leading into the next ice age."

Climate Alarmist Calls Skeptic 'Asshole' on BBC

Not much to say here...speaks for itself. Watch the videos. So-called climate scientists who preach fear DO NOT WANT TO DEBATE. Just like Al Gore doesn't want to debate. If there's debate then they'll be exposed even more. Hey Cooper (CBS blogger)...don't you think it's finally the skeptic's turn to be a NUDNIK? We've been told shut up and swallow this BS since 1998 (and even before that with the 70s cooling frenzy). Finally, someone comes on television to debate, and the skeptic hands the scientist his lunch, IMHO.

And what does the scientist do? Why, he resorts to name-calling, of course. This is what children do when they're cornered in a lie.

One day after reports that Britain's Met office intends to reexamine 160 years' worth of temperature data, emotions over what's now being dubbed "Climategate" are getting more raw by the day.

During a live television faceoff hosted by the BBC, Marc Morano, a former communications director of the U.S. Senate Environment Committee and now an editor with the Web site Climate Depot squared off against Professor Andrew Watson of the University of East Anglia in eastern England. It didn't take long before the two got in each other's face and Watson became increasingly annoyed with Morano's loud interruptions. He finally lost it by the end when the anchor thanked the participants.

U.N. Climate Chief: E-mails are Damaging

That's nice of him to admit the scandal is damaging, but he's sticking with the 'consensus' platform. You know. That magical number of scientists that make up the 'consensus.' What is that number again? Oh, that's right...no one has quantified it. I have a list of >31,000 skeptical scientists, and the media NEVER reports on them.

I'm sorry...but the research IS NOT SOLID. It was NEVER solid.

COPENHAGEN (AP) - The U.N.'s top climate official on Sunday conceded that hacked e-mails from climate scientists had damaged the image of global warming research but said evidence of a warming Earth is solid.

In an interview with The Associated Press ahead of the U.N. climate summit starting Monday, Yvo de Boer said the e-mails pilfered from a British university fueled skepticism among those who believe the science is manipulated to exaggerate global warming.

"I think a lot of people are skeptical about this issue in any case," de Boer said. "And then when they have the feeling ... that scientists are manipulating information in a certain direction then of course it causes concern in a number of people to say 'you see I told you so, this is not a real issue.'"

GASP!: Warming Will Cause Next Ice Age

LOL! Yes, you read that correctly.

Notice the groundwork being laid here? That's right. This scientist says that global warming will cause the next ice age. This is an old tactic from the hoaxers--blame cooling on warming. LOL! See...we can't win for losing. Global warming CAUSES EVERYTHING when you're a Kool-Aid drinking lunatic. This is simply more revisionism...trying to find ways to keep global warming research alive in a world that has seen what a hoax it is.

Read more horrible things in the GASP! series and get yourself a good chuckle.

Starting roughly 12,800 years ago, the Northern Hemisphere was gripped by a chill that lasted some 1,300 years. Known by scientists as the Younger Dryas and nicknamed the "Big Freeze," geological evidence suggests it was brought on when a vast pulse of fresh water — a greater volume than all of North America's Great Lakes combined — poured into the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans.

This abrupt influx, caused when the glacial Lake Agassiz in North America burst its banks, diluted the circulation of warmer water in the North Atlantic, bringing this "conveyer belt" to a halt. Without this warming influence, evidence shows that temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere plummeted.

Daily Show Reports on Climategate

No one else in the left-leaning media will report on Climategate, so thank goodness for Jon Stewart! He's never been very kind to conservatives in the past, but it's obvious even he can't swallow his tongue on this global warming baloney. Maybe he's just the beginning. Hopefully, some of the faithful have been shocked awake!

ABC didn't cover it. CBS didn't either. And NBC apparently wouldn't go near it.

The network news broadcasts have ignored a growing scandal over evidence of a potential climate cover-up — and now they've even been scooped by the fake news at Comedy Central.

"The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" produced its "reporting" on Climate-gate Tuesday night, when Stewart quipped, “Poor Al Gore. Global warming completely debunked via the very Internet you invented. Oh, oh, the irony!”

Boxer: Hackers at fault for Climategate

See what psycho Democrats do when their little hoax is in mortal danger of being consumed by fire? They go after the "hackers" who made everyone aware of the lie. Only problem is that no one knows for sure that this was a hacker. There have been some reports that Climategate was set off by a whistleblower on the inside. God, I hope that's true. I love watching these environmentalist nutcases writhe around in agony because they look like idiots, and NOTHING is more delicious than watching Barbara Boxer writhe around.

Of course, she doesn't want to treat the perpetrators of this climate bullshit as criminals...people like Al Gore and these so-called scientists who were cooking the data to make a case for global warming.

MA'AM, MA'AM, MA'AM, MA'AM! There I said it! I refuse to call you Senator, MA'AM. MA'AM, MA'AM, MA'AM, MA'AM!

As Senator Inhofe said, "We won, you lost...GET A LIFE!" Is it me or does this woman look like Bea Arthur from Maud?

Leaked e-mails allegedly undermining climate change science should be treated as a criminal matter, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said Wednesday afternoon.

Boxer, the top Democrat on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said that the recently released e-mails, showing scientists allegedly overstating the case for climate change, should be treated as a crime.

"You call it 'Climategate'; I call it 'E-mail-theft-gate,'" she said during a committee meeting. "Whatever it is, the main issue is, Are we facing global warming or are we not? I'm looking at these e-mails, that, even though they were stolen, are now out in the public."
