Monday Morning Meandering: "Climate Change" and other Stuff

• False prophets on the left keep blathering: Just thinking....we should all be dead by now. Paul Ehrlich, the bug scientist who predicted in the 1960s that overpopulation would kill us all by starvation is still spouting nonsense and people are still dumb enough to give him a platform including the Vatican. And then there's Al Gore whose silly movie, An Inconvenient Truth, claimed Miami and Manhattan would be underwater by now. Of course, they aren't, but that hasn't kept him from continuing to impersonate Chicken Little with a stupid sequel that is filled with errors and junk science. Just go home, Al, and take Paul with you! Let's listen to a real climate scientist, Roy Spencer. 

Well, Isn't that Interesting? (Or Laughably Pathetic!)

Al Gore: ‘Because of Pope Francis, I Really Could Become a Catholic’

Al Gore's Global Warming Mentor Urged More Research

Al Gore credits scientist Roger Revelle, a professor at Harvard, for his global warming crusade. (Incidentally, Gore earned a D in Revelle's class.) But when Revelle later repudiated man-made global warming and apologized for sending so many in the wrong direction on the relationship between CO2 and global warming, Gore labeled him "senile."

Al Gore won't debate or take questions from the press. Why? Because he knows the data doesn't support his extremist views and he's doing a good job, with the help of government and the media, pulling the wool over the eyes of the public.

Global warming has always been about the accumulation of power and money and Gore's made plenty from it. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) at the U.N. which oversees global warming does no science itself, but is a conduit for billions of dollars in grants mostly from the U.S. And those grants go to those who support the global warming myth. That's why Climategate is so important and must continue to be exposed. The IPCC clique admitted locking out scientists who won't get behind their bad science. The data doesn't support their claim that global warming is mandmade and a threat to the planet. It's a political agenda that will be used to control every aspect of our lives.

Who Benefits from Global Warming?

December was REALLY COLD! Did you notice? It was the 14th coldest in the contiguous United States for the past 115 years. It also set records in other parts of the world. Check out examples here and here and here.

Obviously one month does not a climate make. But what does? I get into arguments with global warming hysterics who insist that temperatures at different places don't matter. But of course they do. The aggregate of temperatures around the world over time is part of the data. After all, it's the collection of weather measurements from many places that indicates what's happening on the planet. Unless, of course, there's a global armpit to measure the "planet's fever".

Anyone with half a brain and a little life experience (even a non-scientist)recognizes variations in climate from year to year. Many scientists have associated warmer periods on the earth with high sunspot activity and cooler periods with low activity. The theory that mankind is responsible for temperature variations is typical of the godless sense that man is the center of the universe. Forget it, folks, we're not. My theory that sin causes global warming by opening fissures from hell is just as likely as all the nonsense about greenhouse gases.

Read up on the biosphere. Scientists find that when CO2 increases, vegetation grows a lot faster. It's self-correcting. I don't know if man will ever have the capacity to destroy the planet. I doubt it, because I think the Lord will return before he lets that happen. But I know one thing for sure. It's frigid out there and if you don't like it go somewhere else because no matter what you do it'll still be cold ouside.

As for "scientists" with their computer models who tell us what will happen ten or twenty years down the road, I'll believe it when the weatherman can accurately predict what will happen next week. The last time I depended on a ten day forecast for a travel destination, it showed sunny and warm temperatures which didn't materialize until the day we were returning home. Cold and rainy with occasional cloudy would have been more accurate. And you think these guys can predict the demise of the planet in a century?

A lot of people benefit from hysteria. Al Gore is a global warming profiteer making millions off the hysteria he hypes around the world.

Be a good steward of the earth; live a virtuous life. That's the best insurance for saving the planet. It closes up the fissures from hell that poison the air. That's the only real "man-made" global warming.

Below is a video of testimony from Al Gore to Congress. I was disappointed with the failure to really grill Gore. His non-answer illustrates that the best defense is a good offense. The Congresswoman should have pursued the question and asked if he was willing to have an independent financial audit of his books. Does the non-profit pay him a salary for serving the company on its board or for other duties associated with his involvement? You can funnel all your money into the non-profit and get it back again. Planned Parenthood, after all, calls itself a non-profit as well. How much do they pay their staff? The fact is that Al Gore has increased his personal wealth from a millionaire to a multi-millionaire since leaving Congress. Where is the money coming from? How much is he really making from selling his green snake oil?

This is the Change Obama Promised?

Gore-Backed Car Firm Gets Large U.S. Loan

From the Wall Street Journal:

WASHINGTON -- A tiny car company backed by former Vice President Al Gore has just gotten a $529 million U.S. government loan to help build a hybrid sports car in Finland that will sell for about $89,000.

The award this week to California startup Fisker Automotive Inc. follows a $465 million government loan to Tesla Motors Inc., purveyors of a $109,000 British-built electric Roadster. Tesla is a California startup focusing on all-electric vehicles, with a number of celebrity endorsements that is backed by investors that have contributed to Democratic campaigns....

Fisker's top investors include Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, a veteran Silicon Valley venture-capital firm of which Gore is a partner. Employees of KPCB have donated more than $2.2 million to political campaigns, mostly for Democrats, including President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan group that tracks campaign contributions.

This is the "change" voters wanted when they backed Obama? Remember during the campaign when he promised -- moral government, an end to politics as usual, no more corrupt government, concern for the little guy? (Have you stopped laughing yet?)

How much is Al Gore going to make from this sweet deal? Not only does it provide tax money to liberal investors, but it takes jobs from Americans to subsidize luxuries for the rich. Interesting, isn't it, how liberal Democrats excoriate "the rich" while they provide the people's money to fund rich liberals' projects?

Don't get cynical, get even. Vote conservative in the next election. If no conservatives are on the ballot from either party, write in your own name. Stop enabling liberal politics. If Republicans want your vote, insist they return to true conservatism. If you want to know what that is, read Russell Kirk. The Democratic Party is evil and the Republicans are becoming irrelevant. Michael Steele, Republican Party Chairman, recently stated that pro-abortion candidates are welcome. I guess that means pro-lifers aren't. No wonder so many are bolting.

Al Gore: Making a Mint Off of Cap and Trade

Cap-And-Trade: Al Gore's Cash Cow

Al Gore talks a lot about saving the planet. "Yadda, yadda, yadda...." Somehow his actions fall a little short of his words. He lives in an energy-gobbling mansion in Nashville, flies around the world in his private jet spewing carbon, rides around town in his gas-guzzling limo. This guy would be laughable if people didn't take his nonsense so seriously. Maybe they will when they have to buy carbon credits to carpool in their mini van to soccer games. Gore left office worth $2 million. He's now up around $100 million and with his investments in companies that will benefit from cap and trade, he stands to make multi-millions more. This greenie is no greenhorn when it comes to capitalizing on his global warming agenda, but don't you feel a little uneasy about the level of integrity involved in this business? Sort of like a Wall Street insider who gets advance notice of a company's boom?

Talking about weather, global warming, and carbon footprints

It's in the 40s today in Shenandoah County and is supposed to hit 60 degrees tomorrow. That must be a warning to us and proof of global warming. The planet is heating up and we all better build our arks in the back yard so we can hop in and slam the doors when the polar ice caps melt and the coastlands disappear under rising ocean water. Be sure to stock plenty of seasickness pills.

On the other hand, we just had one of the coldest Novembers on record with many cities in the southeast experiencing record lows. Augusta, Georgia recorded the sixth coldest November since 1900 and Asheville the chilliest in ten years. Perth, Australia had the coldest November of the past 37 years. So this must be a warning that we are entering a new ice age. Better stock up on thermal underwear and prepare ourselves for more of what the northeast is suffering: ice storms, frigid temperatures, and power outages.

Meanwhile, the glaciers in Norway and Alsaska are growing despite the fact that they were shrinking in the 80s. If shrinking glaciers point to global warming what do expanding glaciers point to?

The founder of the weather channel, John Coleman, has called global warming a "total myth" and a "scam." Coleman and 30,000 other scientists (including 9,000 PhDs) may sue Al Gore and others selling carbon credits for fraud. Coleman says the manipulated hysteria over global warming has become an "environmentalist religion."

Ho-hum who cares, you say? Well, how about the impact biofuels are having on the third world where the cost of grain has skyrocketed because it is now being grown for cleaner-burning fuel, thus creating food shortages. Al Gore's environmentalist hoax takes bread out of the mouths of babes literally. I doubt he loses any sleep at night. After all, Gore is a long-time anti-natalist who with President Clinton aggressively promoted population control in the third world. What's a few million starved poor folk in Africa who don't look like the Gores anyway? - Fewer carbon footprints messing up the planet.

Elitists consider the teeming masses in the third world a threat and the Clinton-Gore Cairo Conference of 1994 made it absolutely clear that population control, particularly in the third world, was at the top of their priority list. Could it be that global warming is just one more way to promote de-population? Already, voices clamor for carbon taxes on newborns who will clutter up the planet for eighty years or more interfering with the lifestyles of the the rich and famous whose favorite tourist attractions are overrun with the hoi-polloi these days.

As for global warming, I'm not worried about it. Even the global warming scare-mongers are changing their tune, singing a new song about "climate change." It's hard to sell global warming in the middle of some of the coldest weather on record. Meanwhile I'm rooting for Coleman's lawsuit against Al Gore and I plan to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather tomorrow. It's a nice break from all the unseasonably cold weather we've had lately.

Liberal Charity: Is that an Oxymoron?

I love liberals; they care so much. You can tell by their generosity. The homeless, the downtrodden are always on their minds. Take Al Gore. In 1992 he gave $1727 of his almost $200,000 salary to charity, less than 1%. But his friends tell us, he gives of himself. Wow, what an edifying thought. Al Gore serving soup to the homeless while MSNBC takes his picture.

And now comes Joe Biden. Joe's concern for the poor is absolutely mind-boggling. Since 1998 he's given a quarter of one percent of his income to charity. Of course, you have to consider that poor Joe has a lot of expenses: kids to put through college and aging parents. You know, the kind of challenges average Americans never face.

And speaking of the average American, he gives two percent of his income to charity, twice as much as Gore and ten times as much as Biden. But Gore and Biden no doubt care more than the average Joe. And they will happily make sure Americans are taxed more so they can put taxpayer dollars in the pockets of illegal aliens, the homeless, Planned Parenthood, and the administrators of homeless shelters and other charitable programs.

Yes, indeed, I love liberals; they are always good for a laugh.
