I would LOVE to buy some ocean-front property, Heartwould, but I can’t afford it because it’s so very expensive as it is in very high demand. If the propaganda and fantasies you believe were true, it would be very, very inexpensive, and Al Gore certainly wouldn’t have bought any.

Goodness, I don’t deny that climate change is happening. The climate is always warming and cooling. The only place where it is assumed to be a crisis that it has warmed nearly one whole degree over the last century, is in computer programs that “attempt” to model the climate of the world. And we simply don’t know enough to develop a satisfactory model. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere that is supposed to be causing the warming is 380 parts per million — that is .038% or 38/1000 of 1%. And oddly enough, the warming even preceded the increases in CO2, so the CO2 couldn’t have caused the problem.

Ocean front property would be nice, but I can’t afford it. Al Gore can, and did.

If you really deny that global climate change is happening, why don’t you purchase some ocean-front property?

Yes, New Scientist is firmly in the warmist camp. Their story on the Little Ice Age seemed to check out, though. People don’t seem to understand that cold is far more threatening than warming. I wrote earlier about “the Killing Time” in Scotland — the years around 1695 when 3 failed harvests led to mass starvation. It continued for 7 years, and it was thought that tens of thousands of people died.

And all the fuss and hoopla now is about one degree of warming, something nobody would even notice if Al Gore wasn’t out threatening the end of the world. Britain is suffering from this cold spell. They have jumped so firmly on the global warming bandwagon that wind farms have been built in areas where they can never be effective, but the subsidies encouraged speculators. California, our state closest to financial ruin, is the state that has invested most heavily in “fighting global warming.”Santa Barbara city council was going to paint a line across the city to indicate how high the rising ocean might reach. Fortunately they backed off.

An sobering recount of the effects of The Little Ice Age upon the Human Condition. Too bad that the New Scientist folks still cannot come to grips with the fact that CO2 is not a pollutant and does nort cause “global warming.” Read their editorial on the Copenhagen climate meeting here:

How can they write of such extreme temperatures and then encourage political conferences on man-made global warming is an unexplainable dilemma? One obvious speculation is that New Scientist = Political Junk Science.

There are some in the media who accepted the word of the IPCC as gospel, but are able to recognize fraud as fraud. University of Bristol has released a new study showing that the airborne fraction of anthropogenic CO2 has not increased for 160 years. Another questions environmental claims of species extinction.

In one sense,the internet is changing everything. Politicians have a huge investment in global warming as a vehicle to bring them more taxes, more power, and more campaign funds. In the developing countries, too often aid (such as aid to forestall warming)goes into the pockets and Swiss bank accounts of the politicians. But you can’t as easily hide the truth with the internet to expose it.

The environmental movement is HUGE, powerful and well-funded. A formidable foe. “Saving the planet” puts one on a higher plane than ordinary mortals. Check in regularly at http://www.climatedepot.com and http://www.wattsupwiththat.com The IPCC was founded as a political organization to prove that global warming was a result of human action. It will take time, but I think we’ve reached a tipping point.

It seems that whatever has recently happened to discredit the IPCC document there has been NO drastic change in the thought process of the Global Warming Media crowd. So how will we finally get back to our sences on this issue? I do not hear the thunderous denouncments that should be forthcoming? I guess LIES, LIES & discredited data are still not believed. How idiotic are these people? Hopefully the non third world countries are understanding what has happened? It is nothing but a UN hijacking of the affluent nations to subsidize third world nations. The UN is a farce.
