Pacific climate change pact wins US support
AFP News ^ | September 8, 2013

A new Pacific regional pact calling for aggressive action to combat climate change has achieved a "major accomplishment" by gaining US support, officials said Sunday.

US Interior Secretary Sally Jewell announced during the session a new climate change fund for Pacific islands vulnerable to rising sea levels.

"Climate change is the defining challenge of our time," she said in launching the Pacific-American fund.

Separately, the US was offering $24 million over five years for projects in "vulnerable coastal communities" in the Pacific, she said.

" ... aggressive action to combat climate change ...

The words these people use just blow me away.

What possible action could anyone take ... passive OR aggressive that would result in combat with or against (I don't think THEY know ... but it doesn't matter .. not to them .. ) something as intangible as climate change ???

The rest of the article is equally strenuous on my reasoning faculties.

Honey ... on your way home pick up a loaf of bread and a gallon o'climate change ... OK?


Actually it's simple ... climate change is the latest effort to tax the planet. If they can just get ONE thing ... That Son Of Perdition Will Be Revealed.

Also if all of the people get on one side of the island, it could tip over.

On small islands, everyone lives in "coastal communities".
What a racket. Of course the current admin wants to be in on it.

So funding is about 1/4 of one Obama vacation.

It really doesn’t matter who they blame. The oceans have been rising for the 70 years I have lived. It didn’t start yesterday or because of men on the planet.

If these idiots think the can stop it with 24 million dollars or 24 trillion dollars they are full of crap.
Mother Nature could care less about their puny efforts, they are simply putting 24 million dollars in some envirowhacko’s pocket.

Dear Sally:

Please watch the video at this link:

It will explain that trying to reduce carbon emissions is 50 times more costly than adapting to global warming.

And, by the way, any islands which are experiencing rising sea levels are doing so because of subsidence. Reducing carbon won’t stop that. I suggest you pump a few inches out of the Pacific Ocean. I will be glad to suggest a place where you can put that water.

I know.
Just imagining the press releases they would have put out at the end of the last ice age.
I shudder to think what that would look like.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls our climates.

3. The earth is a rock.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Your post #14

Don't know where you came up with that but anyone who reads it can CLEARLY understand how IDIOTIC the whole gloabal warming/cooling crap is.

My advice: Post it everywhere and OFTEN.

When I was a teenager, I went to the beach in Huntington Beach, California, almost every day all summer long.

I noticed that the beach was getting narrower and narrower as the years went by.

At first, I thought it was the water getting deeper, but I finally figured out that it was the oil pumping lowering the land.

I realized that when I was seventeen. Why can’t the warmist morons realize it at their age?

Oh, right. If they openly admitted that, we wouldn’t have to pay all those carbon taxes on every stinkin’ thing we do.

And not only that, Algor might be reduced to the penury of having only one billion dollars.

The horror.
