All That Is Necessary

More Climate Stupidity From The Senate

Saw this referenced over at Right Wing News.  Some Senators are thinking about abandoning the Cap & Trade tax garbage.

Senators to propose abandoning cap-and-trade

"Three key senators are engaged in a radical behind-the-scenes overhaul of climate legislation, preparing to jettison the broad "cap-and-trade" approach that has defined the legislative debate for close to a decade."

A good thing, right?  Yes and no.  Yes, in that they realize that Cap & Trade is pretty much dead.  No, in that they are contemplating something almost as bad.  But, remember, this is government we are talking about.  And government is about force and control, nothing more.

"Graham and Sens. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) have worked for months to develop an alternative to cap-and-trade, which the House approved eight months ago....

According to several sources familiar with the process, the lawmakers are looking at cutting the nation's greenhouse gas output by targeting, in separate ways, three major sources of emissions: electric utilities, transportation and industry.

Power plants would face an overall cap on emissions that would become more stringent over time; motor fuel may be subject to a carbon tax whose proceeds could help electrify the U.S. transportation sector; and industrial facilities would be exempted from a cap on emissions for several years before it is phased in...."

For a start, there is basically NO man-made global warming or climate change, so this legislation is idiotic from the very beginning.  It is not necessary!

The regulation will absolutely crush the economy and drive what little manufacturing we have overseas, but there is one aspect that screams out in stupidity.  They are going to cap emission from power plants, then tax the hell out of gas to help pay for the electrification  of the transportation system.  Where are they going to get the electricity from?  Remember they are going to cap emissions from POWER PLANTS!!!  Do these people think through anything?

There is some talk in the proposed bill that would expand drilling and authorize more nuclear plants, but we know that part will never happen.

Remember, these climate bills, like the health-care bills, are about control only.  They solve nothing.

Sweep Congress clean in 2010!  They ALL need to go.

To Global Warmers - Try Reality For A Change!

So, did all you global warming believers see this news report?

Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995

You have been duped!  I never bought into the whole man-made global warming garbage.  I think climate does change.  It has been changing ever since this planet was formed, and will continue to change for another few billion years.  And we will have virtually nothing to do with it!!!!

"Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.

And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming."

Do you feel used and abused?  You should!  How many billions of dollars have been wasted on fighting "global warming"?  How many new restrictions and laws have been put into place because of this fraud?  How much freedom has been lost?

It is time to throw off the religion of global warming or man-made climate change and return to the land of reality.  Where science is conducted in a search for truth, whatever the result.  And is put out into the public for cross-examination.

We have wasted way too much time on this nonsense.  Let us hope this latest in a string of exposed frauds put this matter six feet under, permanently.

Global Warming Should Be Put Out Of Its Misery

Saw this headline over at Drudge:  India forms new climate change body

"The Indian government has established its own body to monitor the effects of global warming because it “cannot rely” on the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the group headed by its own Nobel prize-winning scientist Dr R.K Pachauri."

Over the past few months we have received report after report of how the Global Alarmist "Scientists" have faked data, hidden data, and downright made stuff up to further their agenda.  Al Gores "Inconvenient Truth" has been shown to be full of huge errors and lies.  Every week we have a new report of global warming deceit.

Simply put, the Global Warming agenda is a farce and should be put down now.

Of course, most people know this was never about global warming, or the current name "climate change".  It was always about wealth transfer, collectivism and envy.  Nothing more.

Do I believe in climate change.  Of course!  The climate has always changed, is changing, and will continue to change as long as the Earth exists.  And mankind has almost nothing to do with it!

I expect the collectivists to pick a new crisis soon.  Probably that we are running out of food.

Talk About Complete Denial On "Climate Change"

Saw this linked at the Drudge Report: 

Human role in climate change not in doubt-UN's Ban

Here is the whole statement:

"U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Tuesday that emails leaked from a British university have done nothing to undermine the United Nations' view that climate change is accelerating due to humans.

"Nothing that has come out in the public as a result of the recent email hackings has cast doubt on the basic scientific message on climate change and that message is quite clear -- that climate change is happening much, much faster than we realized and we human beings are the primary cause," he said. (Editing by Eric Beech)"

My Gawd!  This is like a three-year old saying "lalalalalalala, I can't hear you" with his hands over his ears.  There is huge doubt by REAL scientists that humans have ANYTHING to do with climate change.  The hacked emails have destroyed the credibility of the "global warmers", yet to the UN, it is no big deal.

Yes, I know the UN is a worthless gaggle of pathetic collectivists and capitalist-haters, but they can do real damage to the USA.  (Even more than we are doing to ourselves right now!)

This Copenhagen Meeting has nothing to do with the environment, as shown by Ban's dismissal of any question about real science.  It is all about the punishment of wealthy nations and the payment of cash to the hellholes of the world.

Keep you eyes and ears open, folks.

EPA Set To Further Destroy US Economy (Considering All the Other Crap This Adminstration Is Doing, Why The Hell Not!)

Yesterday the EPA ruled the that greenhouse gasses are a threat to human health.  The main culprit is carbon dioxide.  For your enjoyment and a little education I have linked a short opinion piece called "EPA's Greenhouse Gases Declaration -- Putting America On the Road to Ruin".

This ruling is "paving the way for onerous greenhouse gas regulations to be shoehorned into the 1970 Clean Air Act".

Businesses are already leaving the country or shutting down completely due to our high taxes and crushing regulations.  Enacting even more regulations and costs on our most vital businesses, such as energy plants and large manufacturers, will turn the exodus of businesses into a stampede.

Check out some of the likely restrictions, then weep:

"Not only would motor vehicles be regulated, so would light-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks, buses, motorcycles, planes, trains, ships, boats, tractors, mining equipment, RVs, lawn mowers, fork lifts, and just about everything that has a motor. Because there is no control technology for greenhouse gases, the EPA would require complete redesigns and operational changes.

They would also require permitting for businesses and structures that emit as little as 250 tons of greenhouse gases per year. That threshold may make sense for some air pollutants. But for carbon dioxide it’s frighteningly low, and would subject millions of never-before-regulated entities to an expensive and lengthy EPA permitting process. Any building over 100,000 square feet would be pulled in, as would numerous smaller buildings that produce carbon dioxide. Small businesses, restaurants, schools, and hospitals that have commercial kitchens with gas burners would all be affected."

This latest assault on our freedom is another straw on the camel's back.  This administration is attacking freedom from all sides.  It is hard to keep track of all the attacks.

If we can make it to 2010 we have a shot at reversing all this nonsense.  Keep your fingers crossed, and your powder dry.

Jon Stewart Does Better Job On Global Warming Scandal Than All Supposed "Real" News Sites Put Together

Saw this video online from the Jon Stewart Show.  It is pretty funny.  It also covers a very important topic.  This is a HUGE scandal that SHOULD discredit the global warming "science".

Take a look:

Heads Up On Climate Change Power Grab

There is a UN conference in Copenhagen in December that might be of interest.  I don't know all the details but you should be aware of the danger to our freedom from this conference.

Here are some links to check out:

Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty in Copenhagen, Claims British Lord Monckton

(Lord Monckton is a climate expert who has demolished the global climate change religion over the years.)

This is the link to the actual UN document.  You can glance at it if you want.

AD HOC WORKING GROUP ON LONG-TERM COOPERATIVE ACTION UNDER THE CONVENTION

This is where you can see Monckton's speech:

Updated with video and Links: Monckton Speaks to Over 700 at Minnesota Free Market Institute Event

The second link is to a speech Lord Monckton gave in the U.S. two days ago.  The video is very long but, again, shows that the human-caused climate change religion is completely false.

Here is the portion from his speech that shows the danger coming in December:

"At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it.

I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word “government” actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfaction of what is called, coyly, “climate debt” – because we’ve been burning CO2 and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement.
...
And the trouble is this; if that treaty is signed, if your Constitution says that it takes precedence over your Constitution (sic), and you can’t resign from that treaty unless you get agreement from all the other state parties – And because you’ll be the biggest paying country, they’re not going to let you out of it.

So, thank you, America. You were the beacon of freedom to the world. It is a privilege merely to stand on this soil of freedom while it is still free. But, in the next few weeks, unless you stop it, your president will sign your freedom, your democracy, and your humanity away forever. And neither you nor any subsequent government you may elect will have any power whatsoever to take it back. That is how serious it is. I’ve read the treaty. I’ve seen this stuff about [world] government and climate debt and enforcement. They are going to do this to you whether you like it or not."

I hope you will be hearing more about this over the next few weeks.  Keep you eyes and ears open on this one.  It could be another very big nail in the coffin for the USA.

Another RINO Hammers Another Nail In Our Coffin

Well, it is no surprise, but RINO Senator Lindsay Graham from S.C. has thrown in with the "we must control climate change" crowd.  (Saw this on Michelle Malkin's site.)

He co-authored an opinion piece the the New York Times with John Kerry.  (Yes, John Kerry)  While some of the ideas are great, such as more nuclear energy, using our coal resources and increased drilling for our own oil, some of the ideas are horrible.  And, even with the good ideas, the devil is in the details.  What is the liberal definition of "clean coal", for instance?  I don't know, but I bet it severely limits our use of a lot of coal.

Here are some of their bad ideas:

First, we agree that climate change is real and threatens our economy and national security. That is why we are advocating aggressive reductions in our emissions of the carbon gases that cause climate change.

OK. This is the worst of the lot.  Of course there is climate change!  There has been since this planet formed!  The real science on what our impact is, is far from settled.  Yet they will mandate aggressive reductions in carbon gasses.  That should be fun.

...we should consider a border tax on items produced in countries that avoid these standards.

That would start a real nice trade war with China.

Finally, we will develop a mechanism to protect businesses — and ultimately consumers — from increases in energy prices. The central element is the establishment of a floor and a ceiling for the cost of emission allowances.

Emission allowances.  What a joke.  It is just rationing energy.  Anytime you ration something, you create a shortage.  Lower supply, higher cost.

The kicker is at the end, as Michelle Malkin points out, they throw in a threat if we don't buy into their garbage:

If Congress does not pass legislation dealing with climate change, the administration will use the Environmental Protection Agency to impose new regulations. Imposed regulations are likely to be tougher and they certainly will not include the job protections and investment incentives we are proposing.

Sort of like, "stop us before we kill again".  Take our poison because it will kill you more slowly than their poison.

With RINO's like Graham, we are screwed!

 

G-8 Leaders Order Earth To Behave

This is a funny commentary from the Wall Street Journal.  It is entitled "King Canute at the G-8".  It is about the leaders at the G-8 meeting trying to figure a way to handle the climate.  here is the first paragraph:

"When King Canute of lore wanted to teach his citizens a lesson, he set his throne by the seashore and commanded the tides to roll out. Canute's spirit was back in business this week at the G-8 summit in Italy, where the assembled leaders declared that the world's temperature shall not rise: "We recognize the scientific view that the increase in global average temperature above pre-industrial levels ought not to exceed 2 degrees [Celsius]," or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, said the summit declaration.

So let it be written, so let it be done."

These fools don't know what to do, so they fall back to their normal big government ways.

"As for how they will achieve this climate-defying feat, well, the leaders were somewhat less definitive: "we will work . . . to identify a global goal for substantially reducing global emissions by 2050."

They'll spew forth edicts on this and that, and it will make no difference.  The Earth will do whatever it wants, regardless of our "orders".

I like the ending:

"In the legend of Canute, the king, after failing to stop the rising tide, told the assembled crowd: "Let all men know how empty and worthless is the power of kings, for there is none worthy of the name, but He whom heaven, earth and sea obey by eternal laws." If a medieval monarch could draw the right conclusion, how hard can it be for his sophisticated 21st-century successors?"

Obama Pushes For World Climate Control Fight

Saw this first thing this morning.  Ugh.

Obama broadens push for climate change pact

"Nearing six months on the job, Obama has some momentum: a new agreement among developed and emerging nations to cap rising global temperatures, plus good will from his peers for repositioning the U.S. as an aggressive player in the debate."

Yeah, the world likes us now since we became more like all the other failed socialist countries.

You really don't need to read the article.  It is full of the usual global warming nonsense.  It is just more proof we are in deep trouble with Obama and the statist Congress we have.

Oh, there is a picture in the article of Obama accepting a soccer shirt from the President of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, with whom he had a private meeting.  This would be the same Brazilian socialist that said blue-eyed, white people are the cause of all the world's troubles.  And we are the devil, as well.  I think Obama agrees with the Brazilian racist.
