GASP!: Sixth Mass Extinction In Progress!

It's been awhile since we last saw an extinction story attributed to 'evil capitalist transgressors,' but here you go...right on cue from the lefty media. Along side the Yucatan impact event that did in the dinosaurs comes the sixth mass extinction event: Capitalism's evil use of oil to create and bring products to market has pushed us over the edge. Soon, the entire Earth will be devoid of life, thanks to your love of computers, video games, automobiles, fast food, and other things that affluent western capitalists love. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Karl Marx, Chairman Mao, and Che Guevara would be very displeased.

If you need some more climate fear, check out the GASP! series and/or Dr. Brignell's warmlist.

But the new threat is man-made, inflicted by habitation loss, over-hunting, over-fishing, the spread of germs and viruses and introduced species, and by climate change caused by fossil-fuel greenhouse gases, says the study.

Evidence from fossils suggests that in the "Big Five" extinctions, at least 75 percent of all animal species were destroyed.

Climate fruitcakes were out in force in 2008

The article below is a nice summation of my entire year on this blog, and FOX only scratches the surface of the work that Dr. Brignell, Steven Milloy, and others have done in fighting this enormously stupid hoax.

Follow the link and read the 10 things FOX says that "experts" claim is or will be caused by global warming, though the true list is, unfortunately, far longer than a mere 10 things. We highlighted many of these they put in their list over the past year, including cannibalism, kidney stones, extinctions, snake attacks, shark attacks, and so on. Hundreds of things have been pinned on global warming. It's really quite silly. See the GASP! posts here and Dr. Brignell's warmlist for a lengthy treatise. Get educated so that you can detach yourself from all the absurd propaganda, in the event you're still a hapless believer.

FOXNews.com - No Matter What Happens, Someone Will Blame Global Warming:

Global warming was blamed for everything from beasts gone wild to anorexic whales to the complete breakdown of human society this year -- showing that no matter what it is and where it happens, scientists, explorers, politicians and those who track the Loch Ness Monster are comfortable scapegoating the weather.

FOXNews.com takes a look back at 10 things that global warming allegedly caused — or will no doubt soon be responsible for — as reported in the news around the world in 2008.

GASP!: Christmas lights warm the planet!

linked image

Just in time for Christmas, the alarmist humbugs strike with a vengeance, lambasting carbon fuel used to power all those wonderful holiday lights. They never say global warming in the article, so you need to read between the lines: Carbon fuel burned equals CO2, which is the oft-implicated gas of global warming. More GASP! here and see Dr. Brignell's warmlist to read about everything that global warming 'causes.'

As alarmist scientists and their cohorts in the media continue blowing hot air (which they wouldn't do if they really cared about carbon emissions...ahem), Amtrak passengers were at the mercy of this awful winter weather we're having.

And in a flash to the recent past, remember when scientists told us that computing and our LCD monitors were also warming the planet? Let's face it...if we do everything these zealots want us to do, we'll all be living in the Stone Age again. WAKE UP AMERICA!!

Scientists warn Christmas lights harm the planet | The Courier-Mail:

SCIENTISTS have warned that Christmas lights are bad for the planet due to huge electricity waste and urged people to get energy efficient festive bulbs.

CSIRO researchers said householders should know that each bulb turned on in the name of Christmas will increase emissions of greenhouse gases.

Amtrak Troubles: Passengers Stranded For 23 Hours - cbs2chicago.com:
Others were delayed for hours. The worst case – more than 600 passengers trying to get to the Pacific Northwest were stuck on the train and in cold waiting rooms for nearly a day. Some said they had little food and water.

"We kept getting updated notifications that the toilets were frozen, the switching lines were frozen," a passenger said. "No one really knew what was going on."

The train finally left Tuesday afternoon – 23 hours late – but would only go as far as St. Paul, Minnesota.

Skeptical scientist profile: Dr. John Brignell

FaceI've been wanting to do this for sometime, because I've linked to Dr. Brignell's warmlist page a countless number of times.

From his CV:

Professor Emeritus (ESD)
John Brignell was educated at Stationers’ Company’s School and began his career as an apprentice at STC. He studied at Northampton Engineering College (which became The City University, London) and took the degrees of BSc(Eng) and PhD of London University. He joined the staff at Northampton and was successively Research Assistant, Research Fellow and Lecturer. He worked in a number of areas including dielectric liquids and computer aided measurement, co-authoring a book "Laboratory on-line computing" in 1975. He was for ten years Reader in Electronics at The City University and held the Chair in Industrial Instrumentation at Southampton for twenty years from 1980. He has researched and written extensively in the area of sensors and their applications, and in 1994 co-authored a book with Neil White on "Intelligent sensor systems". He had an extensive private consultancy practice for many years and has advised some of the larger international companies, as well as many small ones in the UK, on all aspects of industrial instrumentation. He pioneered the use of a number of technologies in sensing, such as thick film, and latterly turned his attention to the considerable possibilities of micro-engineering. He was elected Fellow of IOP, InstMC, IEE and RSA. In 1994 he was awarded the Callendar Silver Medal by InstMC. He served on the ISAT Committee of IoP from its inception and was the founding chairman of the first joint professional group of the IEE (J1), having served on both its predecessors (E1 and C11).
What Dr. Brignell has done is simple genius--keep a linked list of actual media stories and articles that purport to show the horrors--both past, present, and future--associated with manmade global warming and climate change.

Simply reading the mass of links is mind-boggling; in my opinion, visiting this one page is all that one needs to do to understand how stupid this global warming hoax is.

Dr. Brignell goes further with his entire Number Watch site--he's showing us how the media can misbehave when using numbers and statistics. Thank you, Dr. Brignell, for being brave enough to stick your neck out in this politically correct environment. As he says:

Number Watch - All about the scares, scams, junk, panics, and flummery cooked up by the media, politicians, bureaucrats, so-called scientists and others who try to confuse you with wrong numbers.

GASP!: No more "White Christmases"

Bing CrosbyYou may be dreaming of a White Christmas (and probably are experiencing a rather harsh one), but Reuters has news for you...you're all in big trouble come 2100! That's right folks...the cold, white stuff is history, thanks to your evil, capitalistic ways. LOL! You won't remember this climate BS in 2100 and neither will I...we'll all be dead by that time. Heck, my 7-year-old daughter will be 99 by then (and yes...I'm teaching her that global warming is crap).

I can only hope that all the antithetical research and evidence, both scientific and empirical, will survive in some documented form to show just how hysterical and stupid this entire warming scam was. We'll all be panicked over something else by that time, but I hope history will record this idiocy.

Need more fear and stupidity? Read the GASP! series, and please check out Dr. John Brignell's warmlist to hear from a REAL scientist and read about all the things insanely linked to global warming by the media!

Climate change could one day doom white Christmas | Environment | Reuters
:

BERLIN (Reuters) - The odds of a "white Christmas" in temperate parts of the northern hemisphere have diminished in the last century due to climate change and will likely decline further by 2100, climate and meteorology experts said.

Even though heavy snow this year will guarantee a white Christmas in many parts of Asia, Europe and North America, an 0.7-degree Celsius (1.3 Fahrenheit) rise in world temperatures since 1900 and projected bigger rises by 2100 suggest an inexorable trend.
