The Community Is Restless by Mark Steyn on National Review Online
But a sick, deranged, un-American mob has put an end to all that moderate and reasonable steamrollering by showing up and yelling insane, out-of-control questions like, “Awfully sorry to bother you, your Most Excellent Senatorial Eminence, but I was wondering if you could tell me why you don’t read any of the laws you make before you make them into law?”ORBIS Cycle: Your Answer to the City's Traffic Jams | Walyou
The community is restless. The firm hand of greater organization is needed.
Long gone are the days when one would be stuck in traffic for hours and thus contribute to the global warming phenomenon. Thanks to the new and improved ORBIS we can provide the future generations a healthy planet.Rainforest: Burning issues | The Economist
THIS month Jennifer Balch will head into the Amazon rainforest of Mato Grosso state, in Brazil. She intends to set fire to it and find out what happens. When Dr Balch, who is based at Woods Hole Research Centre, in Massachusetts, and her 30 helpers have finished their weeklong task, 50 hectares will have been torched. “It’s pretty darn exciting, and a bit crazy”, she says, “to see a bunch of researchers running around burning down a forest.”Global Warming - True/False? Does it matter?
In my experience when you have extremist views the truth is typically somewhere in between the extremes.
frogblog » John Key shirks responsibility
Well, the news is out. A 10-20% target, with so many conditions as to be meaningless. Minister Groser even confirmed during the post-cab that the 10% was in no way unconditional. Cabinet would revisit the whole thing anyway.FT.com / Global Economy - Crisis and climate [fraud] force supply chain shift
Manufacturers are abandoning global supply chains for regional ones in a big shift brought about by the financial crisis and climate change concerns, according to executives and analysts.Climate Change: The Hoax that will Never Die « Ramblings from a Conservative Geek: The World from the Eyes of a Smalltown Adolescent Tech Addict & Political Junkie
The only problem is, climate change is an absolute and utter hoax. It’s clearly a politicized issue that has no basis in fact or reality. For one thing, scientists are nowhere near a consensus on whether or not the theory is true. Despite what Al Gore might try to tell you in his pathetic excuse for a movie, not all scientists believe that global warming is happening. Here’s a panel of scientists dismantling the lies in his movie...'Weather variations, not global warming cause glacier melt'
New Delhi (PTI): Himalayan glaciers, including the world's highest battlefield Siachen, are melting due to variations in weather and not because of global warming, Jammu University scientists have claimed.
"The field studies from other glaciers in India also corroborate the fact that inter and intra-annual variations in weather parameters have more impact on the glaciers of northwest Himalayas, rather than any impact due to global warming," they said.
Peterson: Climate bill show will go on | Agweek | Midwest farm news and ranch news
In a speech by telephone from Minnesota, Peterson told the American Sugar Alliance that after the Supreme Court ruled that EPA must regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, “It’s unrealistic to think that nothing will happen.”Rowan Crawford (wombleton) on Twitter
The Supreme Court ruling, he said, had motivated him to get the House climate change bill “into the shape we can live with.” In the Senate, he said, “Our bill will be in the minimum. If a bill comes out, it will be better.” The House-passed bill would stop EPA from analyzing the impact of U.S. ethanol production on land use in other countries for five years, and Peterson noted that with congressional action, “at least we’ll have a seat at the table.”

The Malthusian Formula for Destruction is a stubborn theory. It has proven to have great shelf life as most of us are painfully aware. It has only been renamed as the Inconvenient Truth and such.The Coalition approach to emissions trading – outsource to Asia at Larvatus Prodeo
In a nutshell, domestic emissions are cut less, and more foreign permits are bought. Like a lot of things, it’s cheaper to manufacture emissions reductions in Asia than it is here.
As global warming transitions to green technology...
No matter how you feel about global warming, it is clear that during our lifetimes we will move away from coal, oil and gas to sun, wind, tides and nuclear. What we're fighting about now is how quickly.The IPCC Gets Sick of Science — MasterResource
In other words, Revkin reports that the IPCC wants to spend less time on science in their next report than they have in past reports and more time on issues for which it has no relevant expertise or comparative advantage. Of course, Revkin doesn’t put it quite that way, but that’s the unmistakable implication of what he reports.Robert Reich's Blog: How the White House's Deal With Big Pharma Undermines Democracy
But I also care about democracy, and the deal between Big Pharma and the White House frankly worries me. It's bad enough when industry lobbyists extract concessions from members of Congress, which happens all the time. But when an industry gets secret concessions out of the White House in return for a promise to lend the industry's support to a key piece of legislation, we're in big trouble. That's called extortion: An industry is using its capacity to threaten or prevent legislation as a means of altering that legislation for its own benefit. And it's doing so at the highest reaches of our government, in the office of the President.
“Green Hell” - The Interview - Skanderbeg’s blog - RedState
Q: Can we fight back? Can we win?P2P Foundation » Blog Archive » 20 Theses against green capitalism
A: We have to win. Look, conservatives have a million think tanks, but the left has activist groups. The left “does,” and has been “doing” for forty years now. The reality is that people on the right need to get active.
15. For many communities in the global South, these false solutions (agrofuels, ‘green deserts’, CDM-projects) are by now often a greater threat than climate change itselfSea-level FALL possible
16. Real solutions to the climate crisis won’t be dreamt up by governments or corporations. They can only emerge from below, from globally networked social movements for climate justice
If Warmists can pick and choose the period from which they generalize, why cannot others? The generalization below is at least drawn from much more recent data than Warmists useAmerican Thinker: Obama as the Wizard of Oz
---
The analysis of 53 sea level stations, distributed all over the world, suggests a decline of sea level by almost two feet, by 2100, if it continues the downward trend observed over the last three years. Even considering the average value for the last 9 years, this would lead to a rise of only one inch during the XXI century.
Even as Science magazine is hastily backing off on the media fraud of "global warming," Obama's Medi-Scare Campaign is using precisely the same fear tactics perfected by climate fraud peddlers to take over American medical care. The similarities are astonishing -- and for a very good reason: Both global frauding and Medi-Scare are pure stage-craft, made up by Hollywood mediots who are desperate to empower the Left, because that is the only thing that gives meaning to their empty lives. But neither climate fraud nor Medi-Scare do anything to fix the dire "emergency" they are trying to scare us about.
There is no emergency: There is no global warming doom coming up, and there no crisis in American medicine. Remember that: There is no emergency. It's all completely made up, just like the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
