At Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's summit on climate change today, the GOP governor introduced a very special guest via video -- President-elect Barack Obama.

"I would like to introduce a video that is from our President-elect Barack Obama, just to show to you that we are now in sync with this coming administration, so let's see it," Schwarzenegger said in his opening remarks.

Obama praised the governors hosting the climate conference for their action on global warming.

"Washington has failed to show the same kind of leadership," Obama said. "That will change when I take office."

[Northern Yankee]

Oh great... more hot air from D.C..

Does Schwartzenegger have a brain in that head of his?

[beethovenfan]

“Leadership” as in leading us over a cliff. It’s time for the REAL climate scientists to speak out!!! There is NO climate crisis.

[Carley]

Arnold has turned into a first class girly man.

Is O incapable of speaking without attacking President Bush.

[caver]

You know, I’m really getting to dislike that gasbag RINO Schwarzenegger. The sure that the fruits and nuts in CA like him just fine.

[Randy Larsen]

Steroids???

[bicyclerepair]

I NEVER trusted ahnold from day 1. Look who he sleeps with.

[NathanR]

Yes. However, I think much of the good parts calcified about 6 months after he was first elected.

[Randy Larsen]

You may be right about the fruits and nuts, but us Conservatives are sick to death of that POS!

Having said that, he fits right in to todays Republican party!

[LiberConservative]

AHHnold was neutered years ago. Boy George has more testosterone than this guy.

[Randy Larsen]

Me neither!

I wanted McClintock, but got out voted by those pragmatic republicans. I’ve since left the party of pu$$ies!

[caver]

“but us Conservatives are sick to death of that POS!”

I can only imagine what you are thinking. I live in Indiana and our state went for Obama this time. The first time Indiana went for a Democrat Presidential candidate since 1964. I am truly disgusted with my “fellow citizens”.

[Old Sarge]

Is O incapable of speaking without attacking President Bush.

Bush = Goldstein = Snowball.

The Left will use Bush Derangement Syndrome to rally the faithful for a generation to come.

"Surely, my fellow Americans, you don't want BUSH to come back!?"

[Randy Larsen]

I understand your pain...

I can’t leave the state unless I have my “OJ” disguise kit with me!

[ridesthemiles]

Kiss Kalifornia good-bye.

For those of you who have friends and relatives there, bve prepared to increase the population of your piece of property.

[citizencon]

The ex-muscle man with a hard-to-spell-name’s public endorsement of McCain in a state which was impossible for Obama to lose was an insult to every Republican’s intelligence.

[pollywog]

I must confess that voting for him was the WORST thing I ever did! I was swooped up like the rest in wanting to get rid of Gray Davis! HEY , I think GRAY is better than ARNOLD!!!!
I cannot stomach even looking at that deceptive man!

[avacado]

There is nothing nastier than seeing RINOs & JACKASSES cross breed.

[Logical me]

We got to get rid of this turkey. When is his term up? Maybe a recall.

[vaudine]

"Does Schwartzenegger have a brain in that head of his? "

Evidently not.

Anyone still on the climate change bandwagon is seriously out of touch or on a crusade for more regs and more money. I believe the latter.

vaudine

[Northern Yankee]

Too funny!

[Northern Yankee]

I guess that’s what happens when you hang around the Kennedy clan. Good grief!

[Northern Yankee]

You wonder how people can be so gullible?

But then I look at who we just elected and realize that if ignorance is bliss, we must have an awful lot of happy people around here.

[Vision]

His state is 6 billion in debt this year, begging for government money, and he's concerned about “global warming.”

[NathanR]

2010, I believe. However he will be term limited out at that time.

[Octar]

"Washington has failed to show the same kind of leadership," Obama said. "That will change when I take office."

And so will the military. I expect mass retirements from the generals and other experienced leaders and mass enlistments because of the bad economy and loss of jobs.

Then what?

[calcowgirl]

From the image: "Finding Solutions through Regional and Global Action."

Great. Just what we need are more "solutions" from government... now on a "regional" and "global" basis.

Check out the agenda and line up of leftist and RINO speakers. Heck, they even have the Muslims and PRC represented. Apparently the crescendo of the event is the signing of a "Global Climate Summit Declaration" by Governors of Florida, Illinois, Kansas, and Wisconsin... along with states of Brazil and Indonesia.

How do we stop this train?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Look who he sleeps with.

ROFL. Alan Colmes' twin sister.

[steelyourfaith]

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[Seadog Bytes]

In case you missed it...

 

The cat is DEFINITELY (hopefully?)...out of the bag on this fraud now, Folks.  Not only have the computer models, upon which Global Alarmists have relied, to promote their incessant 'end-of-the-world' predictions, been proven to be hopelessly flawed, but now even the data they've been feeding into those models has been called into serious question.  ..."Garbage in... Garbage out."  

 

Global Alarmists Gore, Hansen and Pachauri are certainly (hopefully?) now headed for the dustbin of history (...and, as many would say, none too soon.) 

 

Thanks to Jerry...

The world has never seen such freezing heat

GLOBAL BLUNDER(ER?)

A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming.  On Monday, Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore's chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record.

	A sudden cold snap brought snow to London in October

This was startling. Across the world there were reports of unseasonal snow and plummeting temperatures last month, from the American Great Plains to China, and from the Alps to New Zealand. China's official news agency reported that Tibet had suffered its "worst snowstorm ever". In the US, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration registered 63 local snowfall records and 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month, and ranked it as only the 70th-warmest October in 114 years.

So what explained the anomaly? GISS's computerised temperature maps seemed to show readings across a large part of Russia had been up to 10 degrees higher than normal. But when expert readers of the two leading warming-sceptic blogs, Watts Up With That and Climate Audit, began detailed analysis of the GISS data they made an astonishing discovery. The reason for the freak figures was that scores of temperature records from Russia and elsewhere were not based on October readings at all. Figures from the previous month had simply been carried over and repeated two months running.

• EU facing revolt over climate change target enforcement
• EU plans new energy deals
• Himalayan glaciers 'could disappear completely by 2035'

  The error was so glaring that, when it was reported on the two blogs - run by the US meteorologist Anthony Watts and Steve McIntyre, the Canadian computer analyst who won fame for his expert debunking of the notorious "hockey stick" graph - GISS began hastily revising its figures. This only made the confusion worse because, to compensate for the lowered temperatures in Russia, GISS claimed to have discovered a new "hotspot" in the Arctic - in a month when satellite images were showing Arctic sea-ice recovering so fast from its summer melt that three weeks ago it was 30 per cent more extensive than at the same time last year.

  A GISS spokesman lamely explained that the reason for the error in the Russian figures was that they were obtained from another body, and that GISS did not have resources to exercise proper quality control over the data it was supplied with. This is an astonishing admission: the figures published by Dr Hansen's institute are not only one of the four data sets that the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) relies on to promote its case for global warming, but they are the most widely quoted, since they consistently show higher temperatures than the others.

  If there is one scientist more responsible than any other for the alarm over global warming it is Dr Hansen, who set the whole scare in train back in 1988 with his testimony to a US Senate committee chaired by Al Gore. Again and again, Dr Hansen has been to the fore in making extreme claims over the dangers of climate change. (He was recently in the news here for supporting the Greenpeace activists acquitted of criminally damaging a coal-fired power station in Kent, on the grounds that the harm done to the planet by a new power station would far outweigh any damage they had done themselves.)

  Yet last week's latest episode is far from the first time Dr Hansen's methodology has been called in question. In 2007 he was forced by Mr Watts and Mr McIntyre to revise his published figures for US surface temperatures, to show that the hottest decade of the 20th century was not the 1990s, as he had claimed, but the 1930s.

  Another of his close allies is Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the IPCC, who recently startled a university audience in Australia by claiming that global temperatures have recently been rising "very much faster" than ever, in front of a graph showing them rising sharply in the past decade. In fact, as many of his audience were aware, they have not been rising in recent years and since 2007 have dropped.

  Dr Pachauri, a former railway engineer with no qualifications in climate science, may believe what Dr Hansen tells him. But whether, on the basis of such evidence, it is wise for the world's governments to embark on some of the most costly economic measures ever proposed, to remedy a problem which may actually not exist, is a question which should give us all pause for thought.

...called into serious question. ..."Garbage in... Garbage out."

One can only ask... "What took them so long."

But I'm not complaining... as long as they defeat these fraudsters.

[NormsRevenge]

Giddyup!

[NormsRevenge]

Wonder if Congress will allow foreign-born to run for President?

WE elected Obama, why not? ;-)

MAKE IT STOP!!! This is insane!!
