Nobody has ever offered a more succinct indictment of the global warming hoax than H. L. Mencken, who said: "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."
While Americans are rightfully focused on the unemployment situation and the debt limit negotiations, we've pretty much forgotten about global warming as an issue ever since Obama failed to pass his Cap & Trade bill. As a result, we're becoming complacent once again about the huge threat we face from the progressives' attempts to control the world's energy industry based on the greatest scientific hoax in human history. In reality, however, nothing's changed, as Obama is still imposing his will on us through the EPA's regulation of CO2.
This hoax still threatens our economy, while advancing the UN's "Agenda 21" in more ways than one. It's also the foundation of Obama's "green jobs" approach to the unemployment issue, since the very concept of "green jobs" is just as bogus as the idea of a "carbon footprint."
With Fox anchors and conservative bloggers arguing that those "green" jobs are simply far too few to fuel a strong recovery, the fact that they're based on junk science, and aren't economically viable on their own, gets little if any mention.
The truth is that CO2 is a beneficial trace gas that exists in such small quantities in our atmosphere, that the idea of it playing any significant role in determining our climate is simply silly. CO2 comprises less than half of 1% of our atmosphere, and only 4% of it comes from human activity. That's 16ppm, or 1 part in every 62,500 parts of our atmosphere. CO2 is plant food, and...

Freedom, wealth are what’s at risk if we allow the enviro wackos to enslave us.
NOAA is currently redefining sunspecks as actual sunspots to discredit the recurring Dalton Minimum approaching:

“NOAA inflating sunspot counts
A Dalton Minimum could sneak up on us announced
15 Jul 11 - “NOAA is inflating their Sunspot count by counting specks,” says reader Al Morris. “To get a more scientific count that compares to the old Wolf Sunspot number please review the Landscheidt website.”
http://www.landscheidt.info/?q=node/50
A brief history on the evolution of the sunspot count
Johann Rudolf Wolf, born in 1816, reconstructed the sunspot record back to 1749 using the geomagnetic record as his baseline. Wolf used this background scale to adjust the values taken before 1847 to align with his count. His reconstruction is backed up by the Group Sunspot Number which shows very similar cycles during the Dalton Minimum. The depth of the Dalton Minimum is beyond question.
In the 1880s, Wolf’s successor, Wolfer, began counting all small spots and pores and recorded each umbral area within a penumbra. Because this differed from the Wolf method, Wolfer introduced a reduction factor to his figures in order to align with Wolf.
Modern counting methods are different.
In essence, NOAA does not use Wolfer’s reduction factor, which means that they count the small spots and pores that Wolf did not count.
This means that a Dalton Minimum or Maunder Minimum could very well sneak up on us announced.
Today, 15 July 2011, the NOAA count shows five sunspots whereas the The Layman’s Sunspot Count on the Landscheidt website shows only three.
I agree with Al Morris. I think The Layman’s Sunspot Count will give us a better comparison with past history, so that’s what I’ll use from now on.

We are going to need coal for heat in the winter, with cooler falls and springs than in the past, just as Obama, the EPA are reducing our use of coal.
Lousy science, twisted so that old readings cannot be meaningfully compared to new ones.
The overall surface area of the sun occupied by sunspots might be a better measure of spot activity. This is more difficult to evaluate than spot count.
Forget about the climate hoax, the politics, the extortion of federal funds to perpetuate fraud.
Simply close down these agencies due to the debt limit crisis.
A lot of stuff is instantly fixed that way, including the climate.
What amazes me is how few people realize that liberals use the difference between summer and winter as “proof” that man made global warming is a reality.
In his 2006 comedy “An inconvenient truth”, societal leech and sexual deviant Al Gore used this method quite a few times. He would show a mountain for example in the winter, then the same mountain in the summer, then claim the visual difference was because of man made Global warming.
He is literally using change of seasons as proof, and people don’t question it because they cannot believe a person that gets so much serious attention could be so insane.
Thanks for the links & info.
approaching August, Sacramento weather remains 15 degrees below normal, and there’s still snow up the hill. My tomatoes and peppers could use a heat-lamp but the good news is my A/C bill is going to be practically zero this (and last) month.
Global warming (nature made) is a fact (melted several miles thick glaciers on top of Chicagoland after last ice age).
Man made global warming is unproven and likely a big hoax as an excuse for cap & trade (= higher taxes).
The heat in the mid west is from la nina cooling in the south Pacific. That is not “global warming” that is global cooling. This is the greatest hoax ever!! since the “earth is flat”.
Tis as have always said.
Global warming finally came to my neighborhood about a month ago, high 90s and a few triple digit days with nothing more than a rare sprinkle of water for the past couple of months. Forest fires have swamped us with smoke going on a month now. I have to say that I’ll be glad when the ice age starts in another couple of months.
I just keep wondering how much carbon gas these fires are putting into the atmosphere. It’s going to get blamed on us.
Big oil is behind it. They are in cahoots with them. Why would an Oil Company not love Obama? They know Global Warming is a hoax and so called alternative energy will never work. So we are stuck with Oil. Obama lets them make more with less effort. Obama wants the price to rise. So do they.
Alternative energy is feasible when hydrocarbon sources are made very expensive. It's just being willfully stupid for the economy we have.
Good post

Australian PM Julia Gillard is implementing a carbon tax in Australia despite promises not to do so during the last election. The Aussis are almost completely dependent on coal to generate their electricity and my Aussi brother-in-law reports that the population is in an uproar. The earliest an election can be called is 18 months by which time Gillard’s carbon tax will be killing the Australian economy.
There was also a recent article about there being substantially more undersea volcanoes than previously thought. I’m sure all the CAGW models take into account effects on ocean temperatures and currents from erupting undersea volcanoes. < /s> And of course ocean temperatures and currents are going to have an important effect on weather.
Here, I found an article on the topic:
12 Massive Unknown Undersea Volcanoes in Atlantic Ocean Discovered
A key quote from one of the scientists in the article: “There is so much that we don’t understand about volcanic activity beneath the sea — it’s likely that volcanoes are erupting or collapsing all the time.”
