The "Finished Science" about global warming, as per Big Al and James Hansen, will be the hot topic at the up-and-coming energy conference the governor has scheduled for September.
Representatives from city councils across Kansas will go, paid for by their cities. They will have a two-day brainwashing, come back to their respective cities and have reams of things we have to do to rein in a "speculative" problem.
The Center for Climate Strategies to the rescue, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius hired this group to organize and access Kansas' problem. The Kansas Energy and Environmental Policy advisory group is the first in the overall plan. The CCS claims that their plans, when implemented, have seen economic expansion and created new jobs. They want wind and solar, of course, to be subsidized by taxing our current power companies, and they have the audacity to think we will believe this won't hurt the people of Kansas.
The company is financed through grants from patrons like the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and other global warming alarmists. All this for a problem that has yet to be proved. There are many scientists who don't believe all the hype and hysteria that is being touted by James Hansen and some in Congress. The Democrats are proud that they have found a new way to raise money. They brag that it could be $6.7 trillion over 40 years but no mention of how much emissions will be saved.
The Environmental Protection Agency report will clarify what they have in mind to control global warming; it will effect our cars, trucks, tractors, farm animals, self emissions, and even our pets and children.
President Bush said at the G8 summit, new technology is the quickest way to cut emissions. Bjorn Lomborg believes "solutions" to weather would best be spent in preparedness.

Study says greening will raise state’s economy

Mary Nichols, chairwoman of the Air Resources Board, said the analysis shows that going ahead with the state plan is good for the economy and the environment.
Pure BS, CARB’s study say CARB’s plan works out like cherry pie,
just like giving loans to be who can’t pay it back
We now have a college educated population that in large percentages that can not tell you the boiling point of water, what a BTU is, or find the United Sates on the map let alone Kansas. We also, thanks to the NEA and the Great Society also have a permanent uneducated underclass who have spent their lives dependent on the government for survival and believe that all property and resources somehow belong to the government and the only reason they don't have their 'fair share' is because of politics.
I'm normally an optimistic kind of guy, but after 40 years of seeing the diminution of the American idea, I am becoming pessimistic especially when a professional parasite from nowhere becomes the potential President. .
Anybody know when the last “real” sunspot was - not counting the 1/2 a spot speck in August?
Any since the 1/2 a spot speck?
Amen, couldn’t agree more.
The last “Real” sunspot was in the 23rd week of July. It was a small and short lived cycle 23 (not 24) spot. Although they did count a very tiny (cycle 23) spot in the first week of september which lasted only a couple of hours. Since January there have been almost no spots, maybe one or two groups per month. And to my knowledge there has only been 2 cycle 24 spots (january and march).
Finding data on sunspots can be a bit aggravating. I did searches under a number of variations and the only “now” observations were so technical I couldn't understand them.
Doing the searches was interesting in that I did learn about how the cycles worked. How you could have a cycle 23 sunspot in the 24th cycle. Very interesting.
From what little I know I find it fascinating that more people aren't talking about the lack of sunspots.
