President threatens that anyone not paying homage to the official state sponsored religion, will be punished. https://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/climatechangeactionevent/gs8fj4 In 1938, Jews were visited in Germany to show them “how foolish being a Jew really is.” Hitler also made it clear that everyone has to follow the official state sponsored religion.

The US army has built a fake city designed to be used during combat training exercises. The 300 acre 'town' includes a five story embassy, a bank, a school, an underground subway and train station, a mosque, a football stadium, and a helicopter landing zone. Located in Virginia, the realistic subway station comes complete with subway carriages and the train station has real train carriages. The subway carriages even carry the same logo as the carriages in Washington DC. There are also bridges and several other structures which can be transformed into different scenarios. The $96 million is designed to...

CEI has learned of a UN plan recently put in place to hide official correspondence on non-governmental accounts, which correspondence a federal inspector general has already confirmed are subject to FOIA. This ‘cloud’ serves as a dead-drop of sorts ...... scandal-plagued IPCC, which is funded with millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars.

HONOLULU -- Snowfall and icy road conditions prompted officials at Haleakala National Park to close Wednesday morning. Snow fell overnight and could be seen from all around Maui. Many KITV viewers sent in photos of the snowcapped mountain.

The British Parliament has begun an investigation into the meaning of the East Anglia CRU e-mails, and part of that process is a form of peer review, in a sense.  Their Science and Technology committee has welcomed commentary from the scientific community, and among those members is the non-profit charity, the Institute of Physics.  In their submission, the IoP says that the UEA CRU e-mails don’t just indict East Anglia, but the entire AGW industry — and that “science” wasn’t what they were doing at all (via Watts Up With That and Mike Ross, emphases mine): What are the implications...

February 24, 2010Al Gore Is Lying Low -- for Good ReasonBy Rex McBride Maybe Al Gore's been advised by legal counsel to lie low. He may be the leader of the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) movement, but he's not defending it in public, not even when it's falling apart and his new fortune is based upon it. Mr. Gore and his financial backers earned millions of dollars in start-up "green" companies and carbon trading schemes. If the scam worked, he could've become the first "carbon billionaire." "What goes up can fall down" applies to ill-gotten gains in the stock market...

The latest round of "Climategate" and several states bailing out of regional climate agreements are a sign that climate change fears don't pass the smell test. Too Bad, Commies: Global Warming is Done So, a bunch of states in the western U.S. are bailing out on regional climate agreements to burn less of this or do less of that. Congrats this week to Utah and Texas and Arizona and whomever else rebukes tyranny before this paper prints Wednesday night. Texas is to be lead plaintiff along with energy industry groups in suits to stop the U.S. EPA and its use...

Wow! That Copenhagen package really worked. Global warming has been dramatically reversed. In fact, if Al Gore could see his way to turning the heat back up just a little, most of us would be deeply appreciative… “Climate science” is the oxymoron of the century. There is not a city, town or hamlet in the country that has had its weather conditions correctly forecast, over periods as short as 12 hours, during the past week. This is the “exceptionally mild winter” that the climate change buffoons warned us would occur as a consequence of global warming. Their credibility is 20...

A New South Wales farmer who has not eaten for 43 days in a protest against vegetation laws could last for months without food, a leading nutritionist says. Peter Spencer is starving himself while stationed atop a tower on his property at Shannons Flat near Cooma in southern NSW. Mr Spencer is protesting against state laws which stop him from clearing vegetation on his land, and he wants the Commonwealth Government to compensate farmers whose land has been used as "carbon sinks". Mr Spencer's four children hold grave fears for his welfare. But his daughter Sarah has told a Canberra...

Here's a dirty little secret about the New York Times: It likes to leak things. Important things. Things that change the course of the public conversation. From the Pentagon Papers to the ruined terrorist-surveillance programs of the Bush era, the Times has routinely found that secrecy is a danger and sunlight is a disinfectant. Until now. A troublesome hacker recently released e-mails going to and from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in Britain, e-mails that exposed how the "scientific experts" cited so often by the media on global warming are guilty of crude political talk,...

WASHINGTON — Putting his prestige on the line, President Barack Obama will personally commit the U.S. to a goal of substantially cutting greenhouse gases at next month's Copenhagen climate summit. He will insist America is ready to tackle global warming despite resistance in Congress over higher costs for businesses and homeowners. Obama will attend the start of the conference Dec. 9, a week from next Wednesday, before heading to Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize. He will "put on the table" a U.S. commitment to cut emissions by 17 percent over the next decade, on the way to reducing...

The New Zealand Government's chief climate advisory unit NIWA is under fire for allegedly massaging raw climate data to show a global warming trend that wasn't there. The scandal breaks as fears grow worldwide that corruption of climate science is not confined to just Britain's CRU climate research centre.......

While Al Gore was preaching to the faithful at $500 a pop in Toronto last night, the explosive news on climate change leading up to the huge UN meeting starting Dec. 7 in Copenhagen was happening elsewhere. In what has been dubbed "Climategate," but more accurately resembles the surreptitious release of the Pentagon papers on the Vietnam war, computer hackers last week broke into the files of one of the world's leading climate monitoring agencies at the U.K.'s University of East Anglia. They then aired over the Internet the self-described "dirty laundry" of many of the world's leading mainstream climate...

Several million years ago, a disaster struck the terrestrial biosphere: there was a drastic reduction in the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere. The flowering plants evolved to be most efficient when the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere was about 1,000 parts per million. But the percentage had dropped to a mere 200 parts per million. Plants tried to adapt by evolving a new, more efficient way of using the little remaining CO2. The new mechanism, the C4 pathway, appeared in grasses, including corn and wheat, which enabled these plants to expand into the plains. If the carbon dioxide...
