"WTF Is A Chick'n To Do?"
Ping!
“Jim Hansen is the ‘grandfather of climate change’ and one of the world’s leading climatologists.”
#####
The two clauses of this sentence are mutually exclusive.
I’m convinced this Hansen will be exposed by history as an unscientific sham.
Frst, his alarmist claims do not seem to be supported by other scientists or even by the weather.
Second, this nonsense about the US “leading” is extremely unscientific, when China and India are on track to surpass us in carbon emissions and have no plan to do anything about it. Add in the rest of the World and it’s rather obvious the US can’t do much about this and certainly not in a 4 year time frame.
Even IF this guy is an expert on climate, he is out of his league when he starts talking about geopolitics.
Tax, spend, tax, spend, blame Bush/Republicans, repeat.
“’We have only four years left to act on climate change”
Or else what?
A 60 degree January couldn’t happen fast enough for me.
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
James Hansen (quote), from October 2004:
"Several years ago I received the Heinz Environment Award. I don't know who nominated me for that award or how the selection works."
"I am confident that it has no impact on my evaluation of the climate problem or on my political leanings."
"In the upcoming election I will vote for John Kerry."

NASA's Hansen Mentioned in [George] Soros Foundation's Annual Report:

Ideological shills such as the author, far too many of whom refer to themselves as journalists and/or scientists, do an extreme dis-service to the body politic and the body of knowledge by un-substantiated rants such as McKie's. If one wants to demonstrate that a situation is deterioting, one must first establish a base-line that is scientifically provable, not by consensus but by science. Contemporary journalists, and others of others of similar ilk, might refer to a dictionary to learn the difference between those two words. Once that scientific base-line is established, deviations from the base-line can be observed and conclusions drawn about the direction and benefits(including negative benefits)of the deviation.
The good news, from my perspective, is that the fools in the media have been so demonstrably biased and extreme that readership of print and eye-balls on the various screens are in a free-fall. Their respective landings will not have the experienced and tender hands of Capt. Sullenberger. The media will go bankrupt financially just as, years ago, they have gone professionally.
The inventor of the Muppets is a climatologist??? (sarc ON)
"WTF Is A Chick'n To Do?"
Al Gore says that the polar ice cap will be completely gone in 5 years!
Click on the image above to see the video where he says it!
Aren’t these the same idiots who told us in 1974 that the world was going to starve by 2000 yet we’re as fat as ever??
Didn’t they also say there would be absolutely no oil by 2000 yet we’ve got tankers waiting to offload??
“...threatened by a global greenhouse catastrophe that is spiralling out of control because of soaring carbon dioxide emissions from industry and transport.”
Out here in the Chicago suburbs, if it spirals any further out of control, I’ll have to invest in a new snow shovel.
Conservatives, we are sh*t out of luck unless we can disprove this madness and/or we the sheeple start feeling the pain of this nonsense in the pocket book.
“an office otherwise dominated by stacks of manila folders, bundles of papers and cardboard boxes filled with reports on climate variations and atmospheric measurements.”
The sign of a sloppy mind. Along with the notion that the climate is going to change catastrophically in four years.
And that's as far as I read. Perhaps cogitator knows something that would give me a greater degree of confidence in this guy. This "only four years left" stuff sounds like more scare-mongering to me.
