Trained Astronomer & Climate Superstitionist !
...is it wrong to wish that all these people hyping CO2 and “carbon footprints” would solve the problem by wrapping themselves in cellophane and jumping into an active volcano?
It is no longer generally accepted that Human Caused Global Warming is a genuine problem. Since they have lost the general argument, the Global Warming cultists pulled out all the stops to convince people of the problem on two specific days.
Before Election Day, they pulled the Mother of All Data Fudges and reported all of Russia's September temperature data for October, resulting in the Warmest October on Record, just in time for Barack Obama to be elected.
Immediately after the election, they had to admit their error, and looked like complete idiots and undermined the public faith in the reliability of their data.
Just before Election Day, the sensor for one of the two satellites that monitor Arctic ice “malfunctioned”, giving the erroneous result that Arctic ice cover was at historic lows, when in fact it was 30% more than the previous year.
Immediately after the inauguration, they had to admit that the satellite was grossly inaccurate, and that they reported the obviously anomalous data, instead of the accurate date from the functional satellite. Again, the public faith in the data was shaken.
You can tell they are panicked when they stop trying to win the argument and try to win the argument on one or two isolated days. This was George W. Bush's great talent, who was above 50% approval on only two days in eight years, both on Election Day. But, on the long haul, they are losing the argument, and they know it.
And now, the public is not going to be at all interested in their massive new tax proposals. Cap and Trade will go down in flames.
Hansen looks like Howdy Doody.
I don't think Hansen is a marxist.
Megalomaniacal and stupid perhaps.
Hard to tell which is worse.
I suppose when the science fails all that's left is politics.

Has Obama officially ushered in a new era of government-controlled business?
By Larry Kudlow
|
Team Obama fired GM CEO Rick Wagoner Sunday afternoon, just a short time after Treasury man Tim Geithner told the television talk shows that some banks will need large amounts of new TARP-money government assistance — even though the bankers don’t want it. Does this smack of big-time government planning and industrial policy? Another lurch to the left for economic policy? ***************************snip********************************* Incidentally, in President Obama’s speech on Monday about the Wagoner firing, as well as in Treasury term sheets for GM and Chrysler, there are multiple references to “the next generation of clean cars,” to new CAFE-standard mileage increases, and to green power-train developments. All this is a big green climate-change priority for the new administration. |
Obama climate czar has socialist ties
Group sees 'global governance' as solution
by Stephen Dinan
Until last week, Carol M. Browner, President-elect Barack Obama's pick as global warming czar, was listed as one of 14 leaders of a socialist group's Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which calls for "global governance" and says rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change.
By Thursday, Mrs. Browner's name and biography had been removed from Socialist International's Web page, though a photo of her speaking June 30 to the group's congress in Greece was still available.

VENEZUELA: Chavez calls for global offensive for socialism
August 31, 2005
excerpts...
"The environment is suffering damage that could be irreversible — global warming, the greenhouse effect, the melting of the polar ice caps, the rising sea level, hurricanes — with terrible social occurrences that will shake life on this planet."
"I believe this idea has a strong connection with reality. I don't think we have much time. Fidel Castro said in one of his speeches I read not so long ago, 'tomorrow could be too late, let's do now what we need to do'."
"I believe it is time that we take up with courage and clarity a political, social, collective and ideological offensive across the world — a real offensive that permits us to move progressively, over the next years, the next decades, leaving behind the perverse, destructive, destroyer, capitalist model and go forward in constructing the socialist model to avoid barbarism and beyond that the annihilation of life on this planet."
--Hugo Chavez, at the 16th World Festival of Youth and Students, held in Caracas on August 8-15, 2005
