As I didn’t think it appropriate to ask a long-winded Chris Matthews-type question, I essentially wanted to know (with all the revelations of deliberate fudging of climate data to “prove” global warming is happening) what the legal ramifications on the players could be, considering how many billions of dollars cities, states, businesses, corporations, as well as whole nations have spent going “green”, not to mention the adverse effects on developing nations?

Lord Monckton’s response was direct and to the point: “Jail the lot!”

If we find out Al Gore is changing his legal residence to Boca Raton, you’ll know the heat is on.

Even though the majority of Americans don’t want socialized medicine, Democrats will ram or shove it up a bodily oraface. Even though a new poll shows that “56 percent of those surveyed don’t trust the things scientists say about the environment”, John Kerry is going to make sure “climate legislation” that would limit carbon dioxide emissions is also rammed through…

“What we have to do is go on the offensive.” The science “has been maligned and misinterpreted, and we need to fight back… people (need to) stop being moved by these talk show (hosts) and start looking for the facts” themselves.”
— Senator John Kerry, interview with the Boston Globe, 3/8/10

If the science has been “maligned”, I would counter that the maligning happened after the revelations of emails where scientists talked freely about manipulating (and withholding Freedom of Information requests challenging) data. If the science was “misinterpreted”, it was intentionally done so by scientists who wanted that grant money flowing in, despite findings that proved their findings were wrong.

You wanna know why after thousands of education dollars, your kid is still ignorant?

Vice President Gore’s career has been marked by visionary leadership, and his work has quite literally changed our planet for the better.

Are you kidding?

Fuel Taxes Must Rise, Harvard Researchers Say
To meet the Obama administration’s targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, some researchers say, Americans may have to experience a sobering reality: gas at $7 a gallon.

Considering global warming is officially a hoax, only Barack Obama would push on (because he’s the president), raise gas taxes, and put more people out of work.

Genius.

I remember being with my father and his friends as a child, and that saying was the rule, because of course, I had very little to offer an adult conversation. That was then.

I also remember the Bill Clinton/Whitney Houston 80s and 90s. Bill Clinton for coining the phrase “for the children” and Whitney Houston for that sappy song “The Greatest Love Of All’ with what we thought were harmless lyrics….

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier

Between the two of them, talk about the makings of the big head.

Let me preface the remainder of this column by saying that when I refer to young people, I don’t mean all. Some of them get it. Obviously, most of them don’t.

Those kids grew up with progressive teachers who, because of the power of the grading system (which can make or break futures), told them they knew more than their ignorant parents; they knew more than simpleton adults. They’re opinions, despite the lack of life experience, were equal, important, if not superior, to adults. We gave them the technological means for self-expression which they now use to bully themselves and others.

They now believe they know everything because of what they were taught by educational authority figures. They believed in recycling, came home and told us we should too. They believed in the Palestinians, and came home and told us we should too.

Think about this: do you think young teen-aged girls, yapping away on cellphones about themselves and boys at the mall would soon be ready to place themselves between an Army bulldozer and a suspected terrorist hideout on the West bank without a little prodding from some opinionated college professors?

They now believe in global warming caused by evil corporations and our lust for the very fossil fuels that enabled us to take their lazy butts to the mall, came home and told us we should too. Then they believed in a man named Barack Obama for all the wonderful things he would do to fix this imperialist, racist, homophobic society that enabled them to live relatively carefree lives.

They came to our homes; they came to our schools; they came to our workplaces; they came via our television shows; they came to our websites and demanded we think like they wanted us to think, vote like they wanted us to vote, or else.

Now, they roam the streets when we have party conventions, destroy public and private property, wearing black masks in full view seemingly to give us all the middle finger of defiance while they intentionally break the law.

What else did that “or else” entail?

They got in our faces. They called us names when they couldn’t debate the realities of what Obama’s policies could cost us all, which was not big deal to them because most of them still live at home, don’t pay rent, don’t pay for food, don’t pay for their cellphone bill (and bitch when they exceed their text limits), don’t pay for the Internet bill, don’t pay for power, don’t do dishes, and many don’t even wash their own clothes, yet THEY KNOW what’s best for the nation.

THEY KNOW that Cap-and-Trade will be good for the economy and will create “green jobs” although they can’t tell us what specifically they’ll be.

THEY KNOW that universal health care is something they all want, although probably none of them could define it two years ago.

Personally, I’m tired of having arrogant, narcissistic children question my intelligence publicly online while they can’t even accurately spell their insults. I’m tired of being told my opinion on foreign affairs don’t matter because I never served (even though I am a Navy veteran). I’m tired of hearing Bill Clinton and Whitney Houston’s voices every time I’m told that my opinions don’t count because I won’t be around much longer, the world belongs to them, and they’ll show us with their soon-to-be-served Coffee Parties.

I plan of being around (as I’m not THAT old) when the social utopia they insisted would come about doesn’t and they whine because we saw this coming and didn’t warn them. I plan on being around watching them bitch and moan when they have to pay 80 cents on every dollar they earn because of socialist policies their president imposed on the rest of us that limits their freedoms. And they thought a grounding was bad. Soon they’ll have to pay for the privilege and it’ll be their own damn fault.

The very young people we sacrificed decades of our lives feeding, clothing, and housing have declared war on the rest of us. If you think I’m being sensational, ask yourselves this: where would we be today had those young people listened to the advise of those who’ve seen and experienced more? Would we be talking about “reconciliation” or “carbon credits” or “death panels”? Would our entertainment and education industrial complexes have had the power to turn the very children we supported with our unconditional love and toil against us?

Maybe, maybe not, but much of the youth of America has declared war on the rest of us and we all need to decide what we’re going to do about it.

Personally, with the coming midterm and presidential elections looming, I think I may offer what my father would’ve said.

Children should be seen and not heard.

And if that doesn’t work, “Shut up!”

The future looks bleak for the bears as they balance perilously on the ice that was bobbing around under their weight — but amazingly experts said the pair probably made it safely back to shore.

“… amazingly…”

The warmers will go down with the polar bears to keep this scam going, although polar bears can swim great distances. They are not drowning or dying out.

Those pushing the global warming hoax are.

The bad news continues.

Using fossil fuel in vehicles is better for the environment than so-called green fuels made from crops, according to a government study seen by The Times.

The findings show that the Department for Transport’s target for raising the level of biofuel in all fuel sold in Britain will result in millions of acres of forest being logged or burnt down and converted to plantations. The study, likely to force a review of the target, concludes that some of the most commonly-used biofuel crops fail to meet the minimum sustainability standard set by the European Commission.

Also, crops used to feed people will instead be used for the more lucrative biofuel market. The poor the left so cares about will be left to starve (as they won’t be able to afford the spiked price of basic staples) just so they can feel good about saving the planet.

These people have been used by environmentalist, liberal adults and believe in all things “smart’ and “green”. They aren’t that smart after all.

This is fun.

A seven-month-old baby girl survived three days alone with a bullet in her chest beside the bodies of her parents and toddler brother.

Argentines Francisco Lotero, 56, and Miriam Coletti, 23, shot their children before killing themselves after making an apparent suicide pact over fears about global warming.

Their son Francisco, two, died instantly after being hit in the back.

Should this whole global warming scam ever result in assorted litigation and/or prosecution, don’t be surprised if a few manslaughter charges are tossed in, and there’s nothing to indicate this murder/suicide is the only one we’ll have.

With all that’s going on in the world regarding ClimateGate, it’s no wonder there haven’t been any Al Gore sightings… and for good reason.

(Al Gore) has become a laughingstock. The glaciers have not melted. If his advice he gives to Apple is as faulty as his views on the environment then he doesn’t need to be re-elected.
— Shelton Ehrlich well-known Apple shareholder on Gore’s pending reelection to its Board of Directors

Gore was reelected, but don’t be surprised if he doesn’t crawl back under his rock where he belongs.

He’s about to be called on the carpet and his answers are going to be very interesting, that is, if he doesn’t plead the Fifth.

Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) today asked the Obama administration to investigate what he called “the greatest scientific scandal of our generation” — the actions of climate scientists revealed by the Climategate Files, and the subsequent admissions by the editors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4).

Senator Inhofe also called for former Vice President Al Gore to be called back to the Senate to testify.

“In his science fiction movie, every assertion has been rebutted,” Inhofe said. He believes Vice President Gore should defend himself and his movie before Congress.

Stock up on the popcorn, folks.

Just prior to a hearing at 10:00 a.m. EST, Senator Inhofe released a minority staff report from the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, of which he is ranking member. Senator Inhofe is asking the Department of Justice to investigate whether there has been research misconduct or criminal actions by the scientists involved, including Dr. Michael Mann of Pennsylvania State University and Dr. James Hansen of Columbia University and the NASA Goddard Institute of Space Science.

Since the Climategate Files were released, the IPCC has been forced to retract a number of specific conclusions — such as a prediction that Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035 — and has been forced to confirm that the report was based in large part on reports from environmental activist groups instead of peer-reviewed scientific literature. Dr. Murari Lal, an editor of the IPCC AR4 report, admitted to the London Daily Mail that he had known the 2035 date was false, but was included in the report anyway “purely to put political pressure on world leaders.”

Based on this Minority Staff report, Senator Inhofe will be calling for an investigation into potential research misconduct and possible criminal acts by the researchers involved. At the same time, Inhofe will ask the Environmental Protection Agency to reopen its consideration of an Endangerment Finding for carbon dioxide as a pollutant under the Federal Clean Air Act, and will ask Congress to withdraw funding for further consideration of carbon dioxide as a pollutant.

While this may be the scam of the century, one of the co-conspirators should be the media (not Fox News) who failed to cover this, and teachers who blindly echoed the falsehoods. They were the usual cheerleaders, perpetuating false claims that sent sobbing elementary school children to bed with nightmares, adding a bogus movie to the school curriculum for mandatory viewing, created teenaged and college-aged activists, and seldom acknowledged their position could be questioned, even after the ClimateGate revelations.

The whole lot should be thrown in jail at the most, fired at the least.

As for Senator Inhofe, kudos to a politician that stood up to squealing environmentalists, Hollywood, lying scientists and academics because in the end, he was right and those doing wrong have been exposed.

Now the hard part: getting President Obama to admit HE was wrong.

With the coldest winter ever recorded, with snow setting record levels up and down the coast, the Nobel committee should take the Nobel Prize back from Al Gore.

Gore wants us to clean up our factories and plants in order to protect us from global warming, when China and other countries couldn’t care less. It would make us totally noncompetitive in the manufacturing world, and China, Japan and India are laughing at America’s stupidity
— Donald Trump, to members of his Trump National Golf Club, Westchester County, NY

Just a few hours ago, the prominent were very careful when it came to comments about global warming/climate change.

Al Gore and his sucka warmers are the butt of jokes, as they’ve always been with many of us.

Now, those jokes are becoming mainstream.

If you want to get serious about it, these guys claiming that the snow in Washington disproves climate change are almost unpatriotic — it’s as if they’re denying science.
— Bill Nye, the Science Guy, to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow

As usual, not much mention of the Sun’s contribution in this discussion.

You can play games with numbers, models, and data, but global warming and/or cooling cannot be intellectually addressed without mentioning the one thing more powerful than anything man-made.

Health Care Reform (HCR) died Jan. 19 in Massachusetts, shortly before his 19th birthday. He was a victim of a mass suicide pact by economic left-liberals swilling Kool-Aid they’ve been drinking for years to satisfy a thirsty obsession for replacing marketplace accountability with government mandates.

Funeral services will be private, as the family now wishes to keep Reform to itself. In lieu of flowers, they request donations be made to the Democratic House and Senatorial campaign committees.

It would appear the Obama-Pelosi-Reid cabal wasn’t listening to the liberals either.

In the end, they abandoned their “principles” in lieu of self-preservation. They figured if they let Obamacare wither on the vine, constituents would embrace them with amnesiac open arms come November 2010. But Republicans and independents won’t forget, and it looks like progressives will now have a grudge to hold as well.

As far as the ‘cycles’ that the scientific ‘consensus’ declared the existence of global warming,

They have now gone into reverse, so winters like this one will become much more likely. Summers will also probably be cooler, and all this may well last two decades or longer. The extreme retreats that we have seen in glaciers and sea ice will come to a halt. For the time being, global warming has paused, and there may well be some cooling.
— Professor Mojib Latif, a leading member of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

No shit.

Thanks for the tip, Mojib, now that global cooling is official and the science is ’settled’… again. Don’t forget to tell your global warming-IPCC pals.

How anyone (outside of the Chinese) can speak of global warming with a straight face is beyond me.

Special thanks to MoveOn.org for breaking the story!

Dear MoveOn member,

President Obama recently proposed that for the first time in history the Environmental Protection Agency will enforce global warming pollution limits under the Clean Air Act. The biggest polluters like coal plants and refineries would finally have to do something to cut down their pollution.

President Obama’s proposal would not only help clean up the environment, but also create jobs by making factories and power plants more efficient and helping green technologies like wind and solar. And it’s long overdue—President Bush refused to enforce these provisions of the Clean Air Act at all, even after the Supreme Court ordered him to do so.

Of course, because it’s been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, along with the “consensus” of the scientific community, that global warming IS happening.

But the right wing is trying to stop President Obama from taking any action at all on global warming, and they’re using every dirty trick in the book.

Last month, they stole the personal emails of climate scientists in England and took a few words out of context to smear these respected researchers. Now they’re attacking President Obama for even showing up in Copenhagen.

Here’s my suggestion to MoveOn: name names.

If you’re convinced “they” (being the “right wing”), rat on whomever the suspects may be, but don’t be all vague. It would be like me talking about liberals and saying, “They fuck tipped cows”. I can imagine how upset they’d be over such an accusation, especially if we weren’t going to be specific.

Then again, I’m expecting the left to be truthful and not assume their minions aren’t sheep. I understand I’m expecting a lot.

When all else fails, scare small children.

Build-A-Bearville Under the North Star – One Global World
Part One

This missive is directed at the guardians of, and donors to, tiny humans. If you fall into that category you likely are already familiar with Build-A-Bear, a world-wide corporation that provides the most innocent of services. They sell customizable stuffed animals. Make your own bear, dog…penguin. Cute concept.

The company also has a website called Build-A-Bearville.com where children can play an interactive video game that, on it’s surface, is unlikely to raise suspicion or sound alarms.

But when your unsuspecting tot logs on and hops a virtual train to the North Pole…you should know that he or she will be informed — by Santa Claus — that Christmas may be canceled this year due to Global Warming.

“Uplifting”…? What’s uplifting when you’re about to scare the shit out of preschoolers?

Fox producer: no error in graphic; Media Matters responds
This morning, Media Matters called attention to a questionable graphic from last Friday’s Fox & Friends, and several media sites latched on to what appeared to be an error. However, the network sees it another way.

Lauren Petterson, executive producer of Fox & Friends, told POLITICO that she sees no error in the graphic. And for that reason, there will be no reprimand of staff under the “zero tolerance” policy.

Wow, this is the first time I’ve ever seen percentages that didn’t have to add up to 100.

Way too many blondes at Fox News.
