It's hard to make living farming subsidence.

It all can be traced directly to greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels, according to the report.

This crowds ancestors also thought the earth was flat at one time.

Basic earth science still evades this faux argument. In the history of the USA, has there ever been such a monstrous creation of emotion and opinion, as opposed to scientific proven fact. At the same time , the liberal leftist proponents of making GW something unique, that has never happened on earth before, they continue their chicken-little emotional scam upon those easily fooled....

Just watch the money. That is what this is all about. The aquisition of the public’s wealth for their own purposes is at the root of it all. The mere fact that there is argument about the premise of this liberal scam, is BLATANT PROOF there is no basis in credible science — but that never has bothered money-grubbing liberals...

"We can fix this," Schneider said.

To do that we need to get some broadbased support, to capture the public's imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have.
--- Steven Schneider, Quoted in Discover, pp. 45-48, Oct. 1989; and American Physical Society, APS News August/September 1996.

"Scientists who want to attract attention to themselves, who want to attract great funding to themselves, have to (find a) way to scare the public . . . and this you can achieve only by making things bigger and more dangerous than they really are."
-- Petr Chylek, Professor of Physics and Atmospheric Science, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, commenting on reports that Greenland's glaciers are melting. Halifax Chronicle-Herald, August 22, 2001

"Emphasis on extreme scenarios may have been appropriate at one time, when the public and decision-makers were relatively unaware of the global warming issue, and energy sources such as "synfuels," shale oil and tar sands were receiving strong consideration."
-- James Hansen, stated in presentation to Council on Environmental Quality, June 12, 2003

"The data don't matter. We're not basing our recommendations [for reductions in carbon dioxide emissions] upon the data. We're basing them upon the climate models"
(Chris Folland, UK Meteorological Office)

"As the world gets hotter by degrees, millions of poor people will suffer from hunger, thirst, floods and disease unless drastic action is taken, scientists and diplomats warned Friday in their bleakest report ever on global warming."

Yeah, before we know it, the whole world will be like North Korea, Zimbabwe, Somalia, Cuba, and Philiadelphia.

[Congressman Billybob]

This is a UN sponsored report. And the accuracy level of UN reports is?????? These reports and Al Gore's movie mix selected truths with selected lies, and leave contradictory truths on the cutting room floor.

Mark Twain provided a classic example of "damned lies" using statistics. He noted that "the number of murderers and the number of Methodists in the Nebraska Territory were rising at the same rate." This conclusively proved that Methodists were murderers. Of course, as he noted, this was a false equation.

My columns both this week and next will deal with global warming. See below.

If we canmake it happen fast enough most will drown and not suffer too much. ANd the beaches will not be very far for me to drive to any longer, 3 hours now, could cut over an hour off that trip.

Also, all of those condo’s on the beach will be a greaqt reef for little fishes, which will make it so more guys go to the beach to fish.

Also will provide for more food, and with less people to buy the food, food prices will drop. Heck also oil cunsumption will decrease and so the cost of oil will go down.

With Washington DC under two hundred feet of water, it will make it hard for the House and Senate to meet and pass new taxes.

YOu know the more I look at this Golbal Warming stuff the more I am hoping it is really true.

POLITICS OF CATASTROPHE IN A NUTSHELL:
(Lessons of history)

 

“The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule. ”
-- H. L. Mencken

• “A hypothesis is always preferable to the truth, for we tailor a hypothesis to fit our opinion of the truth, whereas the truth is only its own awkward self. Ergo, never discover the truth when a hypothesis will do.”

• “For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though they were realities, and are often more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are.”

• “Therefore a wise prince ought to adopt such a course that his citizens will always in every sort and kind of circumstance have need of the state and of him, and then he will always find them faithful.”

• “Besides what has been said, people are fickle by nature; and it is a simple to convince them of something but difficult to hold them in that conviction; and, therefore, affairs should be managed in such a way that when they no longer believe, they can be made to believe by force.”
  -- Nicolo Machiavelli

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
-- H. L. Mencken

 

 

Anyone who wonders what the UN/IPCC Anthropogenic Global Warming hype is actually about need only look no further than Europe to note the real agenda behind the AGW push, and it ain't science:

France and 45 other countries call for world environmental monitor
International Herald Tribune: Europe
The Associated Press Published: February 4, 2007

• PARIS: Forty-five nations joined France in calling for a new environmental body to slow global warming and protect the planet, a body that potentially could have policing powers to punish violators.

• "It is our responsibility," Chirac said. "The future of humanity demands it."

• "Without naming the United States, the producer of about one-quarter of the world's greenhouse gases, Chirac expressed frustration that "some large, rich countries still must be convinced" and were "refusing to accept the consequences of their acts."

• "So far, it is mostly European nations that have agreed to pursue plans for the new organization and hold their first meeting in Morocco this spring."

• "We are at a tipping point," Gore said to the conference by videophone. "We must act, and act swiftly." He added: "Such action requires international cooperation."

• "It is time now to hear from the world's policy makers," Tim Wirth, president of the United Nations Foundation, said Friday. "The so-called and long-overstated 'debate' about global warming is now over."

• "The United Nations also is considering a summit meeting of world leaders to tackle global warming, and de Boer said he would expect the United States to send high-ranking officials to to participate."

"Don't be poor in a hot country, don't live in hurricane alley, watch out about being on the coasts or in the Arctic, and it's a bad idea to be on high mountains with glaciers melting," said Schneider, the Stanford scientist who was one of the study author's.

Best advice I've ever seen from the scientific community - funny though, my Great Grandmother use to say the same things about 35 years ago before this so-called 'Global Warming". I believe she use to call it "Common Sense".

Bleakest Report Ever On Global Warming

It’s in our bleak mid-summer,
That April is so cruel.
On heads of gentle flower,
She sends a breath of cool.

To herald all the dangers,
That “Global Warming” brings,
Song birds will start teeth chattering,
Instead of cheerful sings.

Oh, yes, it’s Global Warming!
Pay no attention to the man,
Who stands behind the curtain,
With long-johns and a fan.

He’s only staking out a claim,
Upon the hearts and minds,
Of gullible sheeplike followers,
With brains in their behinds.

The globe has changed,
It will again,
But none of it.
Was caused by men.

Burma Shave.

"The poorest of the poor in the world -- and this includes poor people in prosperous societies -- are going to be the worst hit," said Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. "People who are poor are least able to adapt to climate change."

No need to fear, people. This statement does not contain the catastrophic words, "Women and children will be hit the hardest".
