Hypocrite Gore Claims 8.6M; Reality: 17K

Fun to watch this idiot flop around like a fish out its climate-fear-sustaining water. The economy is in the toilet (remember, a lot of these liberals wanted just that to stop 'global warming'). Then the AP tried to do these liberals a favor once the recession hit by saying that--surprise, surprise--the recession had LOWERED warming!

One good byproduct of this lie is something liberal socialist idiots will never understand: Americans will only care about the environment when they have secure incomes, homes, wealth, etc. A poorer America may help the myth of global warming, but it also, ironically and thankfully, will kill expansion in the belief of the global warming religion!

Fewer and fewer believe the crap anymore, especially because they're already paying higher energy prices that have been artificially inflated to promote alternative energy and the Green Fad. And Obama's criminal push of government-subsidized alternate green energy is a bust (duh) and did NOT save the economy (duh).

The alarmist global warming movement is all but dead.

Not content with having invented the internet, the great Climate Science communicator Al Gore appears to have developed still more miraculous skills of late: the ability to turn 17,000 into 8.6 million – just like that.

The figures refer to the number of "views" for Gore's special "24 Hours Of ManBearPig" which this column helped celebrate the other day. Gore claims that as many as 8.6 million flocked to his thrilling festival of climate fear; but a nasty cruel man called Charles the Moderator at Watts Up With That? has "done the math" and reckons the figure is probably more like 17,000. And that, he believes, is a generous estimate. (H/T John from CA).

So whom are we to trust? An evil climate denying website run by evil climate deniers? Or a loving family man who has selflessly made it his mission to travel the world acquiring as large a carbon footprint as possible in order to spread the word that we should all drastically reduce our carbon footprints?

Solyndra Croaks; Thulsa Doom Wipes Egg Off Face

I've written before extensively in this blog about the Green Fad and silly, government-backed solutions to so-called global warming. Here's more proof that the bullshit IS NOT economically viable. Don't get me wrong…I'm all for alternative energy, simply as a means to reduce foreign energy dependence. My reasons have NOTHING to do with stopping climate change (that doesn't exist).

So, Obama tries to subsidize and back this hooey crap and it fails miserably. The global warming light bulbs and cars are failing too. It's all going to fail, because these 'solutions' are nothing more than boondoggles for a problem that is believed less and less by the public, no matter how much Al Gore whines.

Newly uncovered emails show the White House closely monitored the Energy Department's deliberations over a $535 million government loan to Solyndra, the politically-connected solar energy firm that recently went bankrupt and is now the subject of a criminal investigation.

Obama Caught in Record Winter Storm

Another record-breaking winter (the last several winters have been extremely cold, icy, snowy, miserable, and deadly). These winters have followed cool summers too, though you'll always find a news story proclaiming whatever year it is to be 'the hottest ever.' Yet, the liberal indoctrinators continue the hue and cry about climate "denialists," even after numerous climatology scandals and empirical evidence surface to demonstrate the complete, utter failure and dishonesty of manmade global warming theory and its proponents. The boondoggle has been exposed long ago.

Of course, the global warming alarmists, the faithful, and the zealots will continue to say that the record cold PROVES global warming is real. Just like record heat PROVES global warming. Record ANYTHING to them PROVES global warming. It’s all bullshit. Empirical data proves nothing except that this is one muddy picture, and that’s just the way alarmists like it. The easier it is to snow (no pun intended) the more intellectually challenged among us, the easier for them to consolidate social and political controls to reshape society in the way they deem “Earth friendly.” Capitalism is rejected and socialism is embraced in a clandestine way.

New York City and Philadelphia are just two of the communities across the mid-Atlantic that broke daily snowfall records on Wednesday. For a more elite group that includes New York City, this month is now the snowiest January in history.

With the disruptive storm over, final snow tallies exceed a foot throughout the corridor from Philadelphia to New York City.

WASHINGTON – Heavy snow and icy roads Wednesday night created hazardous condition for President Barack Obama as he returned to the White House from a trip to Wisconsin.
The wintry weather grounded Marine One, the helicopter that typically transports Obama to and from the military base where Air Force One lands. Instead, a motorcade met Obama at the base, and the line of vehicles spent an hour weaving through rush hour traffic already slowed by the storm.

Unleash the Lawyers of Climate Change

What always follows junk science and stupid politics? Lawyers and lawsuits, of course. After all, most politicians are blood-sucking lawyers. Need to find something that stinks? Just follow the rats surrounding it.

Thankfully, truth is winning out and this garbage has been exposed for the boondoggle that it is.

PARIS — From being a marginal and even mocked issue, climate-change litigation is fast emerging as a new frontier of law where some believe hundreds of billions of dollars are at stake.

Compensation for losses inflicted by man-made global warming would be jaw-dropping, a payout that would make tobacco and asbestos damages look like pocket money.
Imagine: a country or an individual could get redress for a drought that destroyed farmland, for floods and storms that created an army of refugees, for rising seas that wiped a small island state off the map.

In the past three years, the number of climate-related lawsuits has ballooned, filling the void of political efforts in tackling greenhouse-gas emissions.

Gore: EtOH 'Not Good Policy'

Really Al? If you had asked us back about 3 years ago when you started in on this biofuels business, we could have told you what a moron you were being (kind of like the moron you're being on everything related to this science-warping, global-warming bullshit). How about going a step further? Why not admit that this entire thing is one giant, government-backed boondoggle (because it is). Climate fear is nothing but a means to seize greater power and resources for the government, which means that capitalism must take it on the chin for socialism to prevail.

Of course (like a lot of liberal policies), biofuels had a different effect than intended. It raised the price of food (making the poor more at risk in the world) and raised the price of fuel (making the economy worse...something a lot of liberals wanted anyway). And since global warming isn't real, it didn't do a damn thing to the climate.

ATHENS, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Former U.S. vice-president Al Gore said support for corn-based ethanol in the United States was "not a good policy", weeks before tax credits are up for renewal.

U.S. blending tax breaks for ethanol make it profitable for refiners to use the fuel even when it is more expensive than gasoline. The credits are up for renewal on Dec. 31.

Total U.S. ethanol subsidies reached $7.7 billion last year according to the International Energy Industry, which said biofuels worldwide received more subsidies than any other form of renewable energy.

"It is not a good policy to have these massive subsidies for (U.S.) first generation ethanol," said Gore, speaking at a green energy business conference in Athens sponsored by Marfin Popular Bank.

Thulsa Doom Obama: 'Global Climate Disruption' Instead of AGW

So, Thulsa Doom and his team realize that the public thinks 'anthropogenic global warming' is a steaming pile of caca...because it is. And rebranding global warming as 'manmade climate change' didn't much work either. People weren't fooled, especially considering all of the climate scandals that were exposed recently.

So what's a pinko-leftwing-socialist-environmentalist to do when his boondoggle is threatened? Why, change the name yet again, of course. That way you simpletons will know that the freak snow storm in April you experienced is really YOUR capitalist fault too!

He said the climate change change-up likely derives from flagging public support for their bill to regulate emissions. He said the term "global warming" makes the cause easy to ridicule whenever there's a snowstorm.

"Every time we're digging our cars out -- what global warming?" he said. "(Global climate disruption is) more of a sort of generic blanket term, I guess, that can apply in all weather conditions."

Obama Energy Official's Global Warming Profiteering

Any of this profiteering starting to sound familiar yet (interspersed among all the scandals)? Too much stands to be lost by letting the truth destroy the boondoggle.

Surprising documents made available to this author reveal that Assistant Secretary of Energy Cathy Zoi has a huge financial stake in companies likely to profit from the Obama administration’s “green” policies.

Zoi, who left her position as CEO of the Alliance for Climate Protection — founded by Al Gore — to serve as assistant secretary for energy efficiency and renewable energy, now manages billions in “green jobs” funding. But the disclosure documents show that Zoi not only is in a position to affect the fortunes of her previous employer, ex-Vice President Al Gore, but that she herself has large holdings in two firms that could directly profit from policies proposed by the Department of Energy.

Reuters: Scientists Examine Warming Lull

I can only say WOW. And this is via Reuters; it doesn’t completely let go of the ‘we unquestionably have manmade warming’ line, but it’s the first U.S. media outlet I’ve seen which goes this far. Now if the Ass. Press (abbreviation intentional) would just stop the advocacy journalism and report on all the scandals, facts, and scientific truth regarding manmade climate change, we skeptics might get somewhere. But truthfully, it’s getting to the point where the holdouts like the AP and MSNBC will not be able to stop the avalanche of evidence—empirical and scientific—that demonstrates just how stupid and false this hoax is. Remember when U.S. media outlets ignored the Monica Lewinsky scandal (to protect Clinton) while Drudge broke the story? The public is becoming more and more wise to the trickery. The British press has covered the scandals and lies exposed recently, while most of the American media has ignored it all. After all, the U.S. mainstream media can’t be seen to admit that they’ve been feeding the American public a load of bull (which they’ve been doing).

Note what Reuters admits. They make a point about discovering the exact cause of cooling for ten years (which they laughably call ‘lack of warming’) from 1999-2008, while Dr. Hansen’s GISS has recently said—stupidly—that the last decade (through 2009) was the ‘warmest on record.’ Yes, the same alarmist Dr. Hansen who had to retract a similar pronunciation in October 2008, when skeptics scrutinized his data and discovered errors (good thing for skeptics, eh?). So climate scientists don’t even agree on what year or decade was the ‘warmest’ as a baseline. They don’t agree because it’s all based on ‘smoke and mirrors’—computer models fed temperature data from ground stations that—themselves—skew the data. Garbage-in, garbage-out.

I know what’s causing the cooling. It’s called natural climate variability, which will create warming periods (as it has in the past BEFORE manmade emissions) and cooling periods (as it has in the past BEFORE manmade emissions). In other words, this is all bullshit, just as the Global Cooling scare of the 1970s was. And I’m not even a climate scientist...I’m a molecular biologist. The ethics of science are the same for us all.

What’s amazing are the number of people apparently willing to just accept whatever line they’re fed by authority figures and their media lapdogs, without question. We’re just going to allow a group of politicians to regulate and tax CO2 (which we exhale with every breath) because a “consensus” of 60 scientists (versus >31,000 skeptical scientists) say we “must act now!” Aspirant, opportunistic politicians are always looking for openings such as that, for fear manifests a requirement for their intervention and subsequent consolidation of power (and wealth...right, Al Gore?).

The point of this article is to lament the crisis faced by alarmist climate scientists in continuing to convince everyone that “the debate is over” and “the consensus says” and “we must act NOW.” Once you sheep stop believing the lie, their little research grant boondoggle will begin to dry up. Politicians will move on to the next boondoggle, but we MUST make unethical scientists pay the price for betraying their profession in order to endorse radical political stances by warping science. We can all agree to take care of the Earth (because it’s the right thing to do) without violating our integrity, ethics, and lying to ourselves.

* Exact causes unknown for lack of warming from 1999-2008

* The underlying reason for cold winter not known

* Climate science in focus after email scandal, errors

By Gerard Wynn and Alister Doyle

LONDON/OSLO, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Climate scientists must do more to work out how exceptionally cold winters or a dip in world temperatures fit their theories of global warming, if they are to persuade an increasingly sceptical public.

At stake is public belief that greenhouse gas emissions are warming the planet, and political momentum to act as governments struggle to agree a climate treaty which could direct trillions of dollars into renewable energy, away from fossil fuels.

Public conviction of global warming’s risks may have been undermined by an error in a U.N. panel report exaggerating the pace of melt of Himalayan glaciers and by the disclosure of hacked emails revealing scientists sniping at sceptics, who leapt on these as evidence of data fixing.

Reality Ignored as Businesses/Governments Challenge Green Fad

Even though Thulsa Doom Obama is refusing to acknowledge reality, business interests that once bought into the hoax (many because it was a boondoggle on which they didn’t want to miss out) are now beginning to turn their backs on intrusive government global warming “solutions,” following recent revelations and scandals involving the “science” behind manmade climate change.

Empirical evidence is also turning more believers into skeptics, even though the alarmist faithful are doing their best to contain the damage following all of the record winter weather. Whereas alarmists once touted empirical weather events that they felt made the case for manmade climate change (little or no snow, heat waves, melting ice, Lake Erie not freezing, hurricanes, tornados, stronger thunderstorms, and all sorts of other ridiculous ills unrelated to weather), they now say that antithetical weather data being experienced (i.e., record snow, record cold, record ice, Lake Erie freezing again, etc.) IS STILL PROOF of global warming.

So, empirical weather data (whatever the temperature involved) is now irrelevant as proof, whereas empirical weather data associated with warmer temperatures was once touted on a daily basis as proof. And you’re not supposed to notice the contradiction; and if you do notice, they’ll tell you how you’re wrong for noticing (because the myth must be kept alive at all costs—too much is at stake for the players). The “precious Earth” is the last thing on their greedy, power-hungry minds, believe me.

They really need to put the crackpipe down. The sheep are waking up.

DALLAS, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Texas and several national industry groups on Tuesday filed separate petitions in federal court challenging the government's authority to regulate U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.

Texas, which leads U.S. states in carbon dioxide emissions due to its heavy concentration of oil refining and other industries, will see a major impact if U.S. mandatory emissions reductions take effect.

In December, the Environmental Protection Agency ruled that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide endanger human health, opening the door for the agency to issue mandatory regulations to reduce them.

Texas said it had filed a petition for review challenging the EPA's "endangerment finding" with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Texas has also asked the EPA to reconsider its ruling.

"The EPA's misguided plan paints a big target on the backs of Texas agriculture and energy producers and the hundreds of thousands of Texans they employ," Texas Gov. Rick Perry said.

[From UPDATE 1-Texas to challenge US greenhouse gas rules | Reuters]

Several companies are quitting an influential lobbying group focusing in on legislation, despite the administratin's push to use the budget to pass greenhouse gas legistlation. WSJ's Grainne McCarthy reports in the News Hub.

Oil giants BP PLC and ConocoPhillips and heavy-equipment maker Caterpillar Inc. said Tuesday they won't renew their membership in the three-year-old U.S. Climate Action Partnership, a broad business-environmental coalition that had been instrumental in building support in Washington for capping emissions of greenhouse gases.

The move comes as debate over climate change intensifies and concerns mount about the cost of capping greenhouse-gas emissions.

On a range of issues, from climate change to health care, skepticism is growing in Washington that Congress will pass any major legislation in a contentious election year in which Republicans are expected to gain seats. For companies, the shifting winds have reduced pressure to find common ground, leading them to pursue their own, sometimes conflicting interests.

So Much For Melting Glaciers

I've beaten melting ice stories to death on this blog many times, in an attempt to illustrate that these stories are designed to invoke fear in misinformed readers.

I believe that we will begin to see more and more stories like this, as the mythology of manmade climate change is unraveled to be the scientific and political boondoggle that it is. It seems Climategate was just the beginning. Hansen's 'surreal blunder' in miscalculating temperature models to show a 'hottest ever' October a few years ago is but another example of overzealous, agenda-driven 'science' that is truly politics at its core. Global warming does not exist; it has lost its traction with the world, as the world suffers each winter under withering cold.

A WARNING that climate change will melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after a series of scientific blunders by the United Nations body that issued it.

Two years ago the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a benchmark report that was claimed to incorporate the latest and most detailed research into the impact of global warming. A central claim was the world's glaciers were melting so fast that those in the Himalayas could vanish by 2035.

In the past few days the scientists behind the warning have admitted that it was based on a news story in the New Scientist, a popular science journal, published eight years before the IPCC's 2007 report.

It has also emerged that the New Scientist report was itself based on a short telephone interview with Syed Hasnain, a little-known Indian scientist then based at Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi.

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.

EPA Employees Silenced for Criticizing Crap and Tax

I bet if they were EPA employees who made videos PRAISING crap-and-tax that the EPA wouldn't have said a thing; the EPA is a political machine that must to find ways to continue being relevant. Global warming is just the kind of nonsense that the EPA needs, just as it is for many politicians and scientists. Boondoggles are hard to come by, and since the term "global warming" has become accepted in the collective consciousness, they've got a good thing they don't want to risk losing.

Laurie Williams and husband Alan Zabel worked as lawyers for the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, in its San Francisco office for more than 20 years, and they know more about climate change than most politicians. But when the couple released a video on the Internet expressing their concerns over the Obama administration’s plans to use cap-and-trade legislation to fight climate change, they were told to keep it to themselves.

Williams and Zabel oppose cap and trade -- a controversial government allowance program in which companies are issued emissions limits, or caps, which they can then trade -- as a means to fight climate change.

AGW Full of 'Exaggerated Claims'

Duh. You think? Of course, going beyond the zealotry of morons like Al Gore, Prince Charles, Steven Chu, Barack Obama, and so on, there's still a central fact: global warming is NOT REAL. It's BS...even when examined conservatively.

Now, can we just NOT pollute the Earth for the sake of being good stewards...pure and simple? I don't want my kids growing up believing a harmless gas like CO2 is the devil. IT IS NOT! There are, however, REAL pollutants. There are REAL environmental threats; how about ways to deal with the trash and waste of a modern, growing society? That's a REAL problem. CO2 is good...it's needed. Carbon rawks.

These idiots don't care about real threats, because there's money to be made here. It's the new boondoggle.

Exaggerated and inaccurate claims about the threat from global warming risk undermining efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions and contain climate change, senior scientists have told The Times.

Environmental lobbyists, politicians, researchers and journalists who distort climate science to support an agenda erode public understanding and play into the hands of sceptics, according to experts including a former government chief scientist.

People Believe LESS in Global Warming

The scam has less and less believers. People are NOT stupid when they see what the weather has been like. Polls worldwide continue to show what's happening to this boondoggle--people aren't buying it anymore. Liberals better hurry up if they want to suck the marrow out of this sham.

"Right now, Americans are more concerned about the economy than the environment," said Frank Newport, editor-in-chief of the Gallup Poll. "The politician who says, 'I'm going to cripple jobs and shut down factories' would be in trouble in this economy."

Here's what Gallup found: The number of Americans who say the media have exaggerated global warming jumped to a record 41 percent in 2009, up from 35 percent a year ago. The most marked increase came among political independents, whose ranks of doubters swelled from 33 percent to 44 percent. Republican doubters grew from 59 percent to 66 percent, while Democratic skeptics stayed at around 20 percent.

What's more, fewer Americans believe the effects of global warming have started to occur: 53 percent see signs of a hotter planet, down from 61 percent in 2008. Global warming placed last among eight environmental concerns Gallup asked respondents to rank, with water pollution landing the top spot.

GASP!: Military At War Over Climate

It seems that stupidity is a common trait among failed Democrat POTUS candidates. John Kerry, who blamed a tornado outbreak on global warming (really dumb), now says the U.S. military will be forced to fight because of climate change.

Can you see clearly now how they must rely on simple fear in attempt to drive YOU SHEEP OUT THERE to support their boondoggle?

Look at the first paragraph. What is all that TERROR designed to do to the reader? You must ask yourself if you believe in all this? You must ask yourself whether you're being had for nefarious ends? We're having record cold weather in the summer; they know their little scam is in grave danger.

To get a further idea of the ridiculousness of all this, please read the warmlist and our GASP! series.

WASHINGTON -- Massive crop devastation, melting glaciers, water shortages, millions of displaced people -- all of these will drag the US military into conflict if global climate change goes unchecked, a Senate panel was warned today.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, convened by Senator John F. Kerry of Massachusetts, focused on what so far has received only modest attention in the climate change debate: the effect it is bound to have on national defense.

Brazilian Boondoggle

MoneyBoondoggle? You bet global warming is. Are other countries paying attention? Of course they are. Here we see Brazil with its hand out; they want “donations from developed countries” to help them “combat global warming.” Do you see? Profiteering...plain and simple.

"Developed countries" means you and I pay via our already generous federal tax contributions, and this supplements BILLIONS we already send to the third-world each year in aid. Such AGW-related scams are a dime-a-dozen these days.

Funny how the Brazilian President says that Brazil "will certainly assume its responsibility" in combating global warming, but instead of assuming the responsibility, they ask us for the money to assume responsibility. LOL!

This is all comes as Brazil recently rejected billions in US aid because the grant was linked to AIDS prevention campaigns that promoted abstinence and required anti-prostitution pledges.

I’m going to invent some environmentally friendly soap or something so that I can make some money too off this global warming nonsense. LOL!

Brazil's President Creates Fund to Protect Amazon, Combat Global Warming:

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva signed a decree Friday creating a fund that will seek donations from developed countries to help protect the Amazon rain forest and combat global warming.

Officials say the fund could raise as much as US$21 billion by 2021 for projects promoting alternatives to rain forest destruction, protecting nature preserves and developing scientific and technological advances to protect the environment.

"Brazil will certainly assume its responsibility to preserve the Amazon, to combat global warming," Silva said at a ceremony at Brazil's National Development Bank, which is charged with administering the fund.

Airlines and "green" corporations

Environmentalism
The fruitcakes will miss the airlines when they're gone and no longer able to shuttle them around to their fruitcake climate speaking engagements (oh, that's right...Al Gore uses a private jet--silly me).

Fear not Airbus, all honest, capitalistic entities are under fire right now, because the fuel of capitalism is oil—plain and simple. Even Al Gore could understand that…uh, never mind. At any rate, all Airbus needs to do is just pretend to care, as other savvy corporations have done.

Many business board rooms have demonstrated smarts and recognize a government-backed, lunatic-supported boondoggle when they see it; they’ve constructed elaborate “green” campaigns to convince everyone—government and consumers—that they’re doing something to save the planet from global warming, which is nonsense. It’s very similar to the campaign by cigarette companies to convince consumers not to smoke; how ridiculous is that?

If one believes that fossil fuel use is warming the Earth (and IT IS NOT) then one must also believe that capitalism can’t exist in its current form, because no fuel or energy is efficient enough to drive the current world economy at the pace needed to continue growth and stave off recessions or depressions.

These “green corporations” are just riding the profiteering wave like everyone else; as I said—manmade climate change equals BOONDOGGLE, and liberals and conservatives are signing on to the BS network. You can play along and rake in some bucks, or you can resist the stupidity like me and be dragged before the new McCarthy hearings—this time for a love of capitalism, not communism.

Airbus boss says aviation unfairly targeted over climate change:

The aviation industry is being unfairly targeted over climate change and future reductions in aircraft emissions should be based on technological innovation rather than regulation, Airbus chief Tom Enders said Wednesday.

"We think it's a little bit unfair that the aviation sector is singled out for attack by many environmental groups, maybe because we are more visible than other groups," Enders told a media briefing in Auckland.
