Frankly T. Boone Pickens not only stands to make a lot of money on government subsidies for windmills he is flat out wrong on many counts. Oil will not hit $300 a barrel it is more likely to be $50 a barrel in inflation adjusted dollars for centuries to come if congress just allows oil drilling where we know there is oil. All we need is for liberal government and the environmental fascists to get out of the way and stop blocking the development of our oil and coal resources. If oil drilling was treated as the national emergency that it is we will solve the problem within a few years. We have the equivalent of trillions of barrels of oil in the US in oil shale, oil sands and coal. We have enough oil for many centuries, that will take care our our long term problem. We also have enough oil offshore that can be brought on line in a one to five years that will take care much of our short term problem.

It will not take ten years like the democrats claim unless government and the environmental fascists make it take ten years with their bureaucracy and lawsuits. We need to treat this like the homeland security issue it is and cut the red tape.

Pickens thinks we can free up natural gas with windmills and use the gas to power vehicles but even the gas people disagree with that. If we really wanted to free up natural gas we already have a much cheaper way of doing that. We would just have to build many more coal plants but God forbid that we dump any more helpful CO2 into the atmosphere and help the plants grow.

As I have said before, windmills have to be backed up by conventional power sources because when the wind is not blowing or it us blowing too hard as it often does in the Midwest windmills do not work. Solar does not work at night and there never will be any way to store power for periods of shortfall. So unless everyone stops using electricity when the wind stops blowing or is blowing too hard or after the sun sets this is not the answer.

Besides that, it will be an environmental disaster. Do these people have any clue what a eye sore blight this will be. 150 foot steel windmills will stretch from horizon to horizon along with their power distribution system that will make current electric lines look pleasing. It will decimate the bird populations. Do you think that giant solar farms will not have an environmental impact? What impact will they have on the animals that occupy that habitat? I will bet you will not take your family to have a picnic there. If you don’t believe me about windmills come to Western New York when they have put up these windmills farms and have ruined once very scenic ridge tops. People cannot sell their property because no one want to live near the windmills. Some people cannot tolerate the low noise that the windmills make day and night. The windmills will decimate the bird populations and they cannot produce electricity at anywhere near current rates. The costs of windmills are paid by taxpayers, robbing Peter to pay Paul, or higher electric rates.

Also notice that T. Boone Pickens proposes that they take property away by using eminent domain claims anywhere where they want to build their alternative energy boondoggles. Well folks, that is fascism and I and many others do not care if the courts say government can do that. This is contrary to the Constitution of the U.S. and people in the Midwest are not going to put up with it. Try to enforce your eminent domain land seizures in some part of the Midwest and you had better bring your own private army (I doubt if our national Army will support you). If You want a revolution in this nation Pickens is proposing a good way to polarize people to bring that about.

Now I want to know why congress is listening to a 80 year old multimillionaire who has vested interests in windmills? Obviously many people have many different ideas about how to solve this problem but they are not appearing before congress, so why only listen to this wacky old man who stands to make a lot of money on windmills? Could it be that he is telling Democrats what they already want to hear?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Oil prices will hit $300 a barrel in 10 years if the United States fails to reduce its dependence on foreign imports, billionaire oil investor T. Boone Pickens told U.S. lawmakers on Tuesday

Pickens has been touring the country pushing a plan under which domestic natural gas supplies would be used to power cars instead of electrical power plants. The federal government and private investors would build a massive wind farm system in the middle of the country from Mexico to Canada to provide electricity.

Pickens, who heads the hedge fund BP Capital, stands to benefit from such a program. He’s building a 4,000 megawatt, $10 billion wind farm in northern Texas that should start generating power in 2011.

industry group the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) has said the Pickens plan could work if the government renews the production tax credit for renewable energy, preferably for longer than a year or two.

“I think we’re talking eminent domain,” Pickens told reporters after the hearing, referring to the practice in which the government sometimes seizes private property with monetary compensation. He said bringing the power to the coasts would take an effort similar to former president Dwight Eisenhower’s building of the national highway system during the Cold War.

The carbon taxation has started in some nations already and in some cities in the U.S. In Britain they all will soon have carbon rationing cards if the British people are stupid enough to let the politicians get away with it.

The tax and grab your freedoms fascists are planning this for everyone worldwide to fund their socialist fascist global government. They will start with a modest tax and then keep turning the screws. They will have their own fascist carbon police force to enforce all their dictates. These green fascists know if you control carbon you control everything on earth.

They plan to pass tax laws here in the U.S. next year if we do not stop them. If oil ever goes down they plan to increase the taxes to make up the difference. Obama loves the idea and McCain is in the same boat.

If Al Gore and his Gaia worshipers think they can dictate to us how to save a world that warmed one whole degree in the last hundred years but cooled back to where it was last year, just so they can tax us for their fascist global government, then I suggest we let them live out their lives on Antarctica. There they can get first hand experience about their global warming BS.

NWV News — Americans Will Be Taxed for Their Carbon Emissions

Some well informed conservatives in the United States are sounding the alarm about plans to tax Americans for carbon emissions purported to cause what’s been dubbed, “Global Warming.” Adding to their fears of oppressive global climate taxation is a recent event in Canada. Read GPF on global taxes.

On July 1, citizens of Canada’s British Columbia began paying a so-called carbon tax for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The provincial government is levying the tax on most fossil fuels, including gasoline and home heating fuel. British Columbia hopes the new policy will cause people to drive less and conserve more energy, thus leading to a significant cut in greenhouse gas emissions that allegedly contribute to climate change.

In addition, according to Mike Baker, a political strategist who has studied the new Canadian tax law, citizens will be expected to pay taxes for wood stove and fireplace emissions, farm equipment, trucks, automobiles and anything else that utilizes fossil fuel. He predicts there will come a time in the not to distant future when even water and clean air consumption by individuals will be taxed.

“New ‘Gobal Warming’ cops will be hired to drive around the county looking for smoke coming out of peoples chimneys and write hefty tickets to those that refuse to comply. A goldmine of new found money coming to city and county cofers,” added Baker.

“If replicated in the United States — as Al Gore and others want — this will be one of the biggest power grabs in US history.

“It’s all about who will control the earth resources. It’s big government laying claim to the waters, oceans, lakes, forests, birds, animals, earth’s land surface, the air we breathe, the food we eat and the sky and space, as well as you and me!” said Joan Veon, CEO of the Women’s International Media Group and a recognized expert in politically-motivated scientific research. British government is already dictating to their citizens to stop wasting food.

“Little by little, the world is being re-organized using capitalism as the global engine to also change the structure of government from government to public-private partnership which is a co-management of government by business,” she said in a telephone interview with NewsWithViews.com.

Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” is in fact a convenient lie that fails all analysis according to history and experience. Yet here, and obviously in Canada, our elected representatives feel compelled to rush ahead with legislative attempts to save the planet from man-caused global warming with their vehicle of choice: taxation.

“Given the paucity of fact supporting the allegation, one has to wonder about the true motive of these legislators. These people are not ignorant. One can only conclude that their interest is in the legislation, not the problem it is said to cure. The goal then is the taxation and its justification is “save the planet.” No more. No less. And the objective of that taxation is, as always, the redistribution of wealth according to the standards of the intelligentsia in the government.

“The neo-Marxist liberals in this nation and throughout the world have failed in bringing about global socialism with their many attempts at duping Americans. Now they’ve found a weapon they believe will scare even the staunchest capitalist, freedom-loving American into giving up his or her freedoms for the sake of saving the planet from the evils of human existence,” said Mike Baker.

Baker added “In order for the people to reverse this diabolical trend, they must vote out all the sell out politicians on the local level across the whole country, and only elect those who will serve the people.”

Have we become nothing but turnips (since man no longer is sovereign) and now they can tax us for every breathe of air, every shower, every hot cup of tea, every yard we drive in our car, every hour that we have a light bulb on, and every carrot we plant and water?

Thank God their are still a few people in the world that can think critically. The globalist elite are betting the farm that they control enough of what people hear through their globalist socialist controlled educational systems, politicians and media to keep the people dumbed down. We see their attempts to marginalize all those who actually think for themselves and who see through their climate change tax and power grab. All indications so far is that they do have people so totally dumbed down that they will believe just about anything they are told.

The main fly in the ointment of these control freaks is that the earth is no longer warming and some scientists are starting to jump ship. The real question is will the globalist elite get their world management regulations and taxes in place before the people catch on? They will certainly try. However, I would not want to be in their place when people realized that they wrecked the global economy over a secular socialist idealist dream that had nothing to do with climate. Peoples heads might then literally roll. It wont be the first time the common people rebelled against those who believe themselves to be an elite class of enlightened aristocrats. Don’t think that given the public trust that you will not be held accountable.

Imagine there’s no warming …

Again, if the high priests of global warming could actually make an impact on the weather through their draconian plans to steal our freedom and our prosperity, their goal of lowering temperatures would be, at best, a net plus for some and a net negative for others. It would almost certainly result in less food production, for example. Consider that as we begin to see food shortages and rationing around the globe due to much less significant central planning efforts already under way.

To review and summarize, then, what we’re left with, when it comes to the global warming agenda, is a fraudulent crisis cooked up to control and enslave the world’s population under the guide of benevolent global socialism and an equally fraudulent solution to that crisis – one that would be a bad idea even if it could work, which it can’t!

Do I have this about right?

Here you have Judge Thelma Moore (I think all her middle names prove something else), a local Fulton County judge stopping the building of a 2 billion dollar coal electric generation plant costing the county thousands of jobs. Aside from her misguided judgment on CO2 why would anyone let one county judge to have that much power over their lives? Why will they allow this judge to continue to have a job in this county when their own jobs will be taken away by her decree? When local people allow one person to have that much control over their livelihood they have given up their right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

When we the people allow junk science environmentalists to shut down energy production in this nation we should all join the Demented Delusional or Dumb Club. We can only blame ourselves for allowing environmental junk science loving special interest groups to control the energy agenda in this nation. The influence of these special interest groups on legislators and the courts are the same reason why you are now paying over $4 for gas and they will also soon triple your electric bills if you continue to allow this.

FOXNews.com - Junk Science: Georgia Gets Green ‘Justice’ - Opinion

Moore, unfortunately, based her decision on the court’s non-legally binding musings about CO2 rather than the court’s actual ruling. Building on her gross misapplication of the law, Moore went on to essentially impose an impossible-to-meet technology standard on the proposed plant.

Moore made no effort to do a cost-benefit analysis to see whether IGCC might qualify as BACT. While it may have seemed like a no-brainer to Moore to side with the local green elites against the out-of-state power company that applied for the permit, she actually wound up siding against the working people and economy of her own state.

For no good reason, Moore denied Georgia the many well-paying jobs associated with the $2 billion plant construction and permanent plant operations. There’s also the not-so-small matter of the much-needed energy the plant would have produced.

Watch for this sort of green justice to come your way. A lawyer for the activist group Environmental Defense told The New York Times she hopes other courts would pick up on Moore’s “reasoning

Global warming has been discredited but the lies go on and on like the energizer bunny. Someone should tap the source of the energy in all the global warming gas bags and we would solve the energy crises.

By the way, coal prices are falling because Europe is cutting back on coal because of their fear of CO2 emissions. If we had any brains we would now use this opportunity to convert coal into oil. Not that America is going to stop worshiping their own global warming gas bags anytime soon.

The real reason people want to believe that global warming is man caused is that they know they are guilty of defiling the planet but like all pagans they think they can fix spiritual defilement with some physical appeasement. They think they can just go to high priest Al Gore, buy indulgences from Carbon Gaia and Gore will give them absolution to continue to spiritually defile the planet.

Global View - WSJ.com

Last week marked the 20th anniversary of the mass hysteria phenomenon known as global warming. Much of the science has since been discredited. Now it’s time for political scientists, theologians and psychiatrists to weigh in.

This last item is, of course, a forecast, not an empirical observation. But it raises a useful question: If even slight global cooling remains evidence of global warming, what isn’t evidence of global warming? What we have here is a nonfalsifiable hypothesis, logically indistinguishable from claims for the existence of God. This doesn’t mean God doesn’t exist, or that global warming isn’t happening. It does mean it isn’t science.

So let’s stop fussing about the interpretation of ice core samples from the South Pole and temperature readings in the troposphere. The real place where discussions of global warming belong is in the realm of belief, and particularly the motives for belief.

John Coleman is the founder of the Weather Channel. He has come out strongly against man caused global warming. In this speech he covers a broad range of issues, a few excerpts are posted below but I suggest that you read the entire speech.

Coleman make it clear that this has become one of the most important issues of our time because the actions man takes on this issue will impact our civilization for decades.

To me this issue is a no brainier but read the opinion of this expert instead of just listening to real no brainier’s spouting global warming drivel on major media.

CO2 is a trace gas and man’s contribution to the atmosphere is a small percent of that trace. It cannot contribute much to global warming in spite of the hype you hear from those on the global warming gravy train. The the real green house gas on this planet that impacts temperature is water vapor.

If you want $10 a gallon gas, heating bills that are higher then your mortgage payment, double electric rates, carbon taxes on everything, higher prices for everything, less food, more government control over every aspect of your life and to be made the fool then do nothing. Politicians at all levels of government and multi national corporations are now planning to bring this tragedy on everyone under the guise of saving the planet from a gas that is environmentally friendly at any levels man could achieve.

John Coleman’s Comments Before the San Diego Chamber of Commerce | KUSI - News, Weather and Sports - San Diego, CA | Coleman’s Corner

You may want to give credit where credit is due to Al Gore and his global warming campaign the next time you fill your car with gasoline, because there is a direct connection between Global Warming and four dollar a gallon gas.

the global temperatures have gone into decline. Earth has cooled for almost ten straight years. So, I ask Al Gore, where’s the global warming?

The cooling trend is so strong that recently the head of the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had to acknowledge it. He speculated that nature has temporarily overwhelmed mankind’s warming and it may be ten years or so before the warming returns. Oh, really. We are supposed to be in a panic about man-made global warming and the whole thing takes a ten year break because of the lack of Sun spots. If this weren’t so serious, it would be laughable.

Now allow me to talk a little about the science behind the global warming frenzy. I have dug through thousands of pages of research papers, including the voluminous documents published by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. I have worked my way through complicated math and complex theories. Here’s the bottom line: the entire global warming scientific case is based on the increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from the use of fossil fuels. They don’t have any other issue. Carbon Dioxide, that’s it.

Hello Al Gore; Hello UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Your science is flawed; your hypothesis is wrong; your data is manipulated. And, may I add, your scare tactics are deplorable. The Earth does not have a fever. Carbon dioxide does not cause significant global warming.

All the computer models, all of the other findings, all of the other angles of study, all come back to and are based on CO2 as a significant greenhouse gas. It is not.

Here is the deal about CO2, carbon dioxide. It is a natural component of our atmosphere. It has been there since time began. It is absorbed and emitted by the oceans. It is used by every living plant to trigger photosynthesis. Nothing would be green without it. And we humans; we create it. Every time we breathe out, we emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It is not a pollutant. It is not smog. It is a naturally occurring invisible gas.

Let me illustrate. I estimate that this square in front of my face contains 100,000 molecules of atmosphere. Of those 100,000 only 38 are CO2; 38 out of a hundred thousand. That makes it a trace component. Let me ask a key question: how can this tiny trace upset the entire balance of the climate of Earth? It can’t. That’s all there is to it; it can’t.

Numerous independent research projects have been done about the greenhouse impact from increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide. These studies have proven to my total satisfaction that CO2 is not creating a major greenhouse effect and is not causing an increase in temperatures.

So with the environmentalists, the UN, Gore and Hollywood touting Global Warming and predictions of doom and gloom, the media has scrambled with excitement to climb aboard. After all the media loves a crisis. From YK2 to killer bees the media just loves to tell us our lives are threatened. And the media is biased toward liberal, so it’s pre-programmed to support Al Gore and UN. CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The LA Times, The Washington Post, the Associated Press and here in San Diego The Union Tribune are all constantly promoting the global warming crisis.

So who is going to go against all of that power? Not the politicians. So now the President of the United States, just about every Governor, most Senators and most Congress people, both of the major current candidates for President, most other elected officials on all levels of government are all riding the Al Gore Global Warming express. That is one crowded bus.

The battle against fossil fuels has controlled policy in this country for decades. It was the environmentalist’s prime force in blocking any drilling for oil in this country and the blocking the building of any new refineries, as well. So now the shortage they created has sent gasoline prices soaring. And, it has lead to the folly of ethanol, which is also partly behind the fuel price increases; that and our restricted oil policy. The ethanol folly is also creating a food crisis throughput the world – it is behind the food price rises for all the grains, for cereals, bread, everything that relies on corn or soy or wheat, including animals that are fed corn, most processed foods that use corn oil or soybean oil or corn syrup. Food shortages or high costs have led to food riots in some third world countries and made the cost of eating out or at home budget busting for many.

So now the global warming myth actually has lead to the chaos we are now enduring with energy and food prices. We pay for it every time we fill our gas tanks. Not only is it running up gasoline prices, it has changed government policy impacting our taxes, our utility bills and the entire focus of government funding. And, now the Congress is considering a cap and trade carbon credits policy. We the citizens will pay for that, too. It all ends up in our taxes and the price of goods and services.

So the Global warming frenzy is, indeed, threatening our civilization. Not because global warming is real; it is not. But because of the all the horrible side effects of the global warming scam.

If Al Gore and his global warming scare dictates the future policy of our governments, the current economic downturn could indeed become a recession, drift into a depression and our modern civilization could fall into an abyss. And it would largely be a direct result of the global warming frenzy.

I agree with Joe Farah on the “Drill for American oil NOW!” campaign. I have brought up the same issues he does in this article. Unlike him I do not think nuclear is a solution. It would take ten years to get a plant built, nuclear costs too much and with terrorism and earth upheavals nuclear plant could be catastrophic.

The WHOLE energy problem right now is created by politicians. If politicians would just get out of the way there would be plenty of energy available in the U.S. in fairly short order.

Oil drilling in Alaska and off shore would do much to solve the short term problem.

Lifting the restrictions on drilling and development of oil shale resources would solve the problem five to ten years down the line. Do you realize that we can get oil out of oil shale for less than $30 a barrel and we have oil reserves much larger than those of Saudi Arabia? We could pump shale oil for hundreds of years. The new techniques that are in pilot project stage right now are not environmentally unfriendly. There would only be one oil well per 640 acres of grazing land in Eastern Colorado and North Dakota. That seems more environmental friendly than the windmills I see around here every 40 acres that produce electric at the energy equivalent of more than $500 a barrel oil.

The other thing causing unnecessary energy problems and which will make them worse in the future is the global warming hype. Increases in CO2 actually benefit plants on earth and 31,000 scientists signed a statement saying that there isn’t any man caused global warming danger. We have the largest coal reserves in the world but new coal plants that can provide low cost energy and synthetic oil are being stopped by those who exhale climate change junk science.

So the bottom line is that we have the means to obtain cheap energy in short order but unless you tell your politicians that are knee jerking to Al Gore’s religious crusade to get out of the way you can expect to pay $10 a gallon for gas in the middle of an inflationary great depression.

That’s your choices, MAYBE one half of one degree warming over the next hundred years and drilling where other countries are drilling or two decades of inflationary depression and poverty. Let your politicians know which choice you have made now!

Drill for American oil NOW!

The average price of regular gas went up to $4 a gallon for the first time over the weekend.

How much higher will the price have to go before Americans demand prohibitions and restrictions on domestic oil drilling be lifted?

“Drill for American oil NOW!”

It’s more than gas prices at stake. The price of just about everything is rising as a result of skyrocketing oil prices controlled not by Americans but by foreigners – even foreigners hostile to American interests.

As simply a matter of national security, it doesn’t make any sense not to drill. But now that we’re all feeling the pinch in our pocketbooks, I believe the time is right for a national uprising.

Are you with me?

Will you join the crusade?

This is one great article about all the different aspects of global warming and it has the very latest information. This one article alone should make you question the sanity or honesty of many well known people promoting carbon legislation.

One demented preacher in the news today said that man caused global warming deniers are like child molesters. I want to reply to him that those who promote this carbon hoax on the world are murders! They are causing legislation and unnecessary burdens that will bring untold misery and death to many of the poor of the world. It will even cause famine and revolutions. But what do they care, many leading this facade think that poor people are useless eaters that the world would be better off without anyway.

If that is not enough carbon legislation will bring in world fascist where everything everyone does in the world will be controlled by carbon bean counters controlled by unelected elitist global governors.

The scientific consensus today is slowly beginning to shift away from the catastrophism of Gore, Suzuki and the United Nations IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report, to suggest that the human contribution to global warming is far less than originally assumed and that a meteorological calamity is highly unlikely. (The IPCC, which certified and entrenched the so-called “scientific consensus,” is essentially a political body with an agenda of its own.) See Inhofe EPW Press Blog, Daily Tech online, and the journal Energy and Environment, whose findings are based on a survey of the ISI (Institute for Scientific Information) Web of Science database covering almost 9000 scientific publications.

Other reports conclude that “solar variability” is the major component in climate change and will run its course regardless of human intervention. As David Douglass writes in the International Journal of Climatology of the Royal Meteorological Society (December 2007), in a peer-reviewed article co-authored with several prominent scientists, “The observed pattern of warming . . . does not show the characteristic fingerprint associated with greenhouse warming. The inescapable conclusion is that the human contribution is not significant and that observed increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases make only a negligible contribution to climate warming.”

The most sophisticated climate models indicate an undeniable discrepancy between surface and tropospheric temperature changes, which points to the sun as the primary agent in the long-term, fluctuating temperature curve. John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, patiently explains that the sun, which contains 99.8% of the mass of the solar system, in its hydrogen-fueled atomic fusion process, “consumes more mass in a second than all the fossil fuel ever burned on Earth,” the terrestrial impact of which reduces the human input to global warming to a level of insignificance. Though Coleman doesn’t cite actual figures, the fact is that the sun pours in excess of a million billion megawatt-hours annually on the earth. But he does quote the highly respected Australian mathematician and former carbon consultant for the Australian government, David Evans, who argues that “carbon emissions don’t cause global warming.” According to Evans, the IPCC models are wrong and the mathematics show that the human signature in the atmosphere is missing (KUSI News online, November 8, 2007).

Czech President Vaclav Klaus, author of the soon-to-be-translated Blue Planet in Green Chains, is on the mark when he warns of the irrationality of the bullish “global warming” industry: “As someone who lived under communism for most of his life, I feel obliged to say that I see the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity now in ambitious environmentalism . . . Let us not scare ourselves with catastrophic forecasts, or use them to defend and promote irrational interventions in human lives”

NASA Administrator Michael D. Griffin, who has professed some skepticism about certain aspects of global warming research, especially with regard to theoretical computer models that tend, as he says, to run before they have learned to walk, was startled to realize that “you can’t express any sort of contrary opinion or a comment without it being treated almost as a religious issue” (Newsmax.com, March 17, 2008). The doxastic progression here is: science-politics-religion. To use Irving Kristol’s word, human beings are, whether we like it or not, “theotropic” beings.

Indeed, the metamorphosis of politics into a debased form of religion may be the bedrock definition of that otherwise debatable term, “fascism,” further specified as “ecofascism” by Janet Biehl and Peter Staudermaier in their book of that title.

Dr. West is correct their models are wrong but the Army is already backtracking. Dr. West has just endangered his carrier as have many who have taken the stand that global warming is mostly not anthropogenic. That is the inconvenient truth. Either you tow the offical party line or your career is toast.

Army: Sun, Not Man, Is Causing Climate Change | Danger Room from Wired.com

In the March, 2008 issue of Physics Today, West, the chief scientist of the Army Research Office’s mathematical and information science directorate, wrote that “the Sun’s turbulent dynamics” are linked with the Earth’s complex ecosystem. These connections are what is heating up the planet. “The Sun could account for as much as 69 percent of the increase in Earth’s average temperature,” West noted.

It’s a position that puts West at odds with nearly every major scientific organization on the planet. “The American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science all have issued statements in recent years concluding that the evidence for human modification of climate is compelling,” Science magazine observes. So has the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore, for their work on global warming.

West acknowledges that the IPCC and other scientific groups have “conclude[d] that the contribution of solar variability to global warming is negligible.” He argues that these groups have done a poor job modeling the Sun’s impact, however, and that’s why they have “significantly over-estimated” the “anthropogenic contribution to global warming.”

UPDATE: “The Army does not have a position on global warming. Dr. West is an Army chief scientist, and is presenting one alternative theory to the cause of global warming,” Army spokesperson Lindy Dinklage tells Danger Room. “This research is just some amongst thousands of studies being conducted by Army Scientists across the globe.”

Okay. But the Army’s Office of the Chief of Public Affairs chose to promote just this one study. And when Army public affairs rolls out research from an Army chief scientist — with no clarifications that these are just his private views — I think it’s fair to call that an official endorsement.

Not only are we moving toward energy rationing we are moving toward a government of socialist control freaks that intend to control every aspect of our lives. They already have control over one third of the population of the earth and if you think it will not come here with the Far Left loons that you are listening to and electing to government just wait a few years. You will find out differently when you become a slave of the state.

RealClearPolitics - Articles - Moving Toward Energy Rationing

For a century, an ambitious, arrogant, unscrupulous knowledge class — social planners, scientists, intellectuals, experts and their left-wing political allies — arrogated to themselves the right to rule either in the name of the oppressed working class (communism) or, in its more benign form, by virtue of their superior expertise in achieving the highest social progress by means of state planning (socialism).

Two decades ago, however, socialism and communism died rudely, then were buried forever by the empirical demonstration of the superiority of market capitalism everywhere from Thatcher’s England to Deng’s China, where just the partial abolition of socialism lifted more people out of poverty more rapidly than ever in human history.

Just as the ash heap of history beckoned, the intellectual left was handed the ultimate salvation: environmentalism. Now the experts will regulate your life not in the name of the proletariat or Fabian socialism but — even better — in the name of Earth itself.

Environmentalists are Gaia’s priests, instructing us in her proper service and casting out those who refuse to genuflect. (See Newsweek above.) And having proclaimed the ultimate commandment — carbon chastity — they are preparing the supporting canonical legislation that will tell you how much you can travel, what kind of light you will read by, and at what temperature you may set your bedroom thermostat.

Al Gore a Nobel Peace Prize winner for his work on Global warming hype is afraid to debate anyone on climate change issues. You would think that since he is so eager to travel the world scaring little kids, morons and knee jerk politicians with his big mouth that he would be willing to debate a President of a nation that does not agree with him to help get his message out to the world, if his theory had any merit. But no, Gore just says the issue is settled and goes on scaring little kids, morons and knee jerk politicians. Meanwhile 31,000 scientists say he is wrong and he ignores them as if they had nothing to add to the discussion. Gore will not debate anyone over the age of reason. This is what Nobel Peace prize winners are make up of these days - Terrorists and cowards.

Czech President Klaus ready to debate Gore on climate change : Environment

Washington - Czech President Vaclav Klaus said Tuesday he is ready to debate Al Gore about global warming, as he presented the English version of his latest book that argues environmentalism poses a threat to basic human freedoms. “I many times tried to talk to have a public exchange of views with him, and he’s not too much willing to make such a conversation,” Klaus said. “So I’m ready to do it.”

Gore a former US vice president who has become a leading international voice in the cause against global warming, was co-winner of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. Gore’s effort was highlighted by his Oscar winning documentary film An Inconvienent Truth.

Klaus, an economist, said he opposed the “climate alarmism” perpetuated by environmentalism trying to impose their ideals, comparing it to the decades of communist rule he experienced growing up in Soviet-dominated Czechoslovakia.

“Like their (communist) predecessors, they will be certain that they have the right to sacrifice man and his freedom to make their idea reality,” he said.

“In the past, it was in the name of the Marxists or of the proletariat - this time, in the name of the planet,” he added.

Klaus alleged that the global warming was being championed by scientists and other environmentalists whose careers and funding requires selling the public on global warming.

“It is in the hands of climatologists and other related scientists who are highly motivated to look in one direction only,” Klaus said.

You need to understand this because this is really Al Gore’s cap and trade scheme brought to every individual. The only thing negative the British government has to say about it is that it is ahead of its time. In other words, we have not completed the brain washing project yet and don’t have the bureauacy in place yet but we will, and right now some might even oppose us.

Make no mistake about it, carbon rationing is what they want for all the people of the world. They want every product to be regulated by government and this carbon scheme will allow them to do that because there is carbon produced in the manufacturing or use of just about everything on earth.

This is really rationing of everything on earth under one global governance umbrella. They will try to make it seem not too bad at first and then they will keep turning the screws. In the end, only the elite rich will be able to buy all the credits they want and criminals. While us poor peons will be limited to the crumbs that they allow us.

What does this mean to the poor? Think about just a few of the implications:

• Meat will have high carbon credits and meat will be out of your price range.
• Heating and air conditioning of your house will be limited and set at the temperature that they dictate.
• Gasoline and Diesel will be rationed unless you can buy the carbon credits at ten times the rate.
• Electricity will be rationed
• Travel will be very limited and long distance travel will only be affordable for the rich
• building permits will have to pass the carbon test. That means no more limited use buildings like churches.
• The size of your house will be limited unless you can afford construction and utilities at ten times the rate
• Those who exhale CO2 and are not productive like the sick and the dying might be allowed to die
• Pets will only be allowed if you can pay the huge carbon fee imposed and the increased price for their food.
• All products will become much higher in price to pay for the manufactures use of carbon
• cook outs and campfires will be outlawed or priced out of existence.

That is just a fraction of one percent of the things that the control freaks will come up with if you allow this world insanity to spread. Also think about the Gestapo that will be created to enforce every aspect of your life. Notice that they will force you to carry a carbon rationing card, next they will force you to take the chip if you want to buy or sell. All this to stop the world from “possibly” increasing the temperature of the earth by .3C over the next hundred years.

Frankly, if you allow anything like this to come into being to save the planet from this non existent carbon and global warming threat you might as well just check yourself into the loony bin and save the rest of the world from your insanity.

If that sounds like harsh wording it is meant to be. This global warming hype with the regulations they propose is the greatest danger to this planet that the world has ever seen. It will allow unelected bureaucrats to control everything in everyones life. It is nothing but big brother fascism and if you cannot see that, you are a danger to the world. It is the Beast system of total control. So when I say that Al Gore and people who see things like him are the most dangerous people on the planet I am not exaggerating one iota.

Every adult in Britain should be forced to carry ‘carbon ration cards’, say MPs | Mail Online

Every adult should be forced to use a ‘carbon ration card’ when they pay for petrol, airline tickets or household energy, MPs say.

The influential Environmental Audit Committee says a personal carbon trading scheme is the best and fairest way of cutting Britain’s CO2 emissions without penalising the poor.

Under the scheme, everyone would be given an annual carbon allowance to use when buying oil, gas, electricity and flights.

Anyone who exceeds their entitlement would have to buy top-up credits from individuals who haven’t used up their allowance. The amount paid would be driven by market forces and the deal done through a specialist company.

MPs, led by Tory Tim Yeo, say the scheme could be more effective at cutting greenhouse gas emissions than green taxes.

But critics say the idea is costly, bureaucratic, intrusive and unworkable.

The Government says it supports the scheme in principle, but warns it is ‘ahead of its time’.

The idea of personal carbon trading is increasingly being promoted by environmentalists. In theory it could be used to cover all purchases - from petrol to food.

HOW THE SCHEME WOULD WORK

Every adult in the UK would be given an annual carbon dioxide allowance in kgs and a special carbon card.

The scheme would cover road fuel, flights and energy bills.

Every time someone paid for road fuel, flights or energy, their carbon account would be docked.

A litre of petrol would use up 2.3kg in carbon, while every 1.3 miles of airline flight would use another 1kg.

When paying for petrol, the card would need to swiped at the till. It would be a legal offence to buy petrol without using a card.

When paying online, or by direct debit, the carbon account would be debited directly.

Anyone who doesn’t use up their credits in a year can sell them to someone who wants more credits. Trading would be done through specialist companies.

I guess when you nominate people for president that have been about last in their graduation class you can expect this kind of brilliance. I doubt of McCain even understands the technical issues. Like a true politician he is just knee jerking to what he thinks is a world consensus and he likes the idea of a big business cap and trade system that will open the door to all kinds of elitist fat cat schemes and fraud. Since there really is no consensus except in those whose minds are already set in carbon he probably will end up regretting his position if he even gets elected. The next president is not going to precide over a economic success story for the U.S. More like he will be right up their with Herbert Hovers and by the time 2012 rolls around the next President might be watching pitchfork parades from his Oval office fortress.

FOXNews.com - Junk Science: McCain’s Embarrassing Climate Speech - Opinion

While no one knows who first uttered the sentiment “It’s better to say nothing and seem a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt,” Republican presidential hopeful John McCain’s speech this week on climate change certainly supports the phrase’s validity.

Undaunted by facts, McCain appears to be programmed with every nonsensical green platitude and policy — a truly worrisome situation since global warming regulation is shaping up to be the most important domestic policy issue of the upcoming election.

Many McCain supporters believe he is the candidate to lead the country at a time of war. But there is a war of sorts at home, too — the struggle against the greens for control over vital domestic energy and economic policy. We can’t afford to lose the latter war, either.

I wrote my thoughts on this stupid decision of Interior to put polar bears under the threatened species act in a previous post today. I just want to point out that Alaskans are very angry about the Interior Department making the polar bear a threatened species. Who’s know better about what is best for Alaska and their increasing polar bear population then those who live there. Now Alaska will reap the dire economic consequences of this political decision that if not overturned will have far reaching consequences and stop most future energy development in the U.S. Under a liberal administration they could even use the threatened bear to totally regulate the CO2 output of everyone in the United States. It is unbelievable what damage they can do to this nation if government and the courts dictate all CO2 output through some legal mandate to save the bears.

MY advise to Alaska is to sue the Interior Department and if you lose in the courts because of radical environmentalist federal judges start exploring taking the steps to starting your own nation. Because if this Pandora’s box is not closed by the next administration, Washington, every environmental wacko and the liberal controlled Federal courts are going to use CO2 to totally dictate every development in your state. Many other states might have to come to similar conclusions if the Far Left wackos get control of U.S. government in the next election and there insane programs put your state’s citizens under oppressive and self destructive Federal energy and carbon laws.

Decision greeted with angst, anger: Alaska News | adn.com

Alaska industry and political leaders reacted with disappointment, even vehemence, to the decision Wednesday to protect the polar bear as “threatened,” despite assurances from the Bush administration that the listing would mean no new regulation in Alaska.

Industry officials worried that the listing decision would give environmentalists a new tool for opposing development in the Arctic, especially new offshore oil exploration and development. Politicians attacked the science behind the decision as speculative.

“Reinterpreting the Endangered Species Act in this way is an unequivocal victory for extreme environmentalists who want to block all development in our state,” said Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska.

National conservative groups are already promising to sue over the decision, predicting that Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne’s effort to rule out regulation of greenhouse gas emissions would be overturned in court. One group, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, said the barriers erected by Kempthorne “have all the strength of tissue paper

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, made the point more strongly, calling the decision “grossly premature” because climate change models vary so much. She said the decision “opens a Pandora’s Box that the administration will now be unable to close.”

Putting polar bears on the threatened species list was a political move of appeasement. How can a bear that has doubled in population over the years and is allowed to be hunted be a threatened species? They say the ice will melt in the future but they do not have a clue that it actually will. If the bear population actually starts to decline action might need to be taken but not enough ice is going to melt anytime soon to threaten the polar bears.

Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne says he will not allow this ruling to set climate policy but he just opened the door to that being done. Whenever anyone wants to build a coal plant or drill for oil in the arctic they will now have to fight the environmentalists in court. If the democrats should take control of government what Kempthorne says will not matter a whit. We know what they will do and that will send the price of energy through the roof.

This ruling needs to be challenged in court. It is good to hear that the Pacific Legal Foundation plans to do just that. While your at it, go to the heart of the issue and challenge the whole CO2 caused global warming myth in court. Make them come up with scientific evidence to prove their case that rising CO2 is the cause for global warming. They cannot.

Polar bears actually threaten man in many parts of the arctic they are one of the most vicious threating species toward man on earth, which is probably why the human hating radical environmentalists love them.

“I want to make clear that this listing will not stop global climate change or prevent any sea ice from melting,” said Kempthorne. “…The ESA is not the right tool to set U.S. climate policy.”

Kempthorne sought to assure the business community that the bear’s protection would not keep someone from building a coal-burning power plant or drill for oil in Arctic waters.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce applauded the decision. “It will protect polar bears while also protecting American jobs and businesses,” said Bill Kovacs, the Chamber’s vice president for environmental affairs.

But some business groups weren’t as impressed.

The ruling “will unleash a torrent of lawsuits” by environmentalists and “give them a powerful new legal sledgehammer” against businesses and agricultural operations especially in the West, warned Jim Sims, president of the Western Business Roundtable.

Reed Hopper, an attorney for the Pacific Legal Foundation, which frequently has challenged the Endangered Species Act in property rights disputes, said he plans to challenge the bear listing as well in court.

The polar bear “already is the most protected (animal) in the world and needs no additional protection,” maintained Hopper. He noted the number of polar bears have more than doubled since the late 1960s from 12,000 to about 25,000 across the Arctic region from Alaska to Greenland.

“The Deniers” is a book about all the renown scientists that have not joined Al Gore’s Consensus club. The real consensus is with the deniers of Al Gore’s nonsense. However, since they do not belong to the Al Gore club Gore does not acknowledge their expertise. Instead anyone outside his Consenus Club are called “flat earthers” No matter there impeccable credentials.

Meanwhile, the Consensus Club is mostly made up of those who receive funding to support the junk science hypothesis and people who have a political or monetary agenda. Meanwhile, the Consensus club has the money and power to threaten the livelihood of scientists that would like to come out and expose this fraud. But ain’t democracy wonderful today when most government representatives and media are controlled by a few power elite that have their own global governance agenda?

The scientific tipping point has been reached. Either science will now break free from these control freaks or they will just be their pawns for a disinformation campaigns to bring in total government control and regulation over everything that we do.

So my advise to scientists is that you now have the only chance you will have to break free of this power grap and to get back toward unbiased science. You might think you need to watch what you say and stay within what is allowed by the politically correct controllers but if you do that, why was it that you become a scientist in the first place? Did you really want to learn and teach truth or is it just your stairway to becoming a member of the politically correct Consensus Club. If the scientific giants of history took the route that many of our scientists are taking today we would still be in the dark ages.

Continue in the direction of kowtowing to politically controlled elitists who use you for a means to their end and you can best describe yourself as a shill of control freaks but not a scientist.

We are now at the tipping point. You have the opportunity to tip this debate back toward sanity. Or you can just go along to go along and then be responsible for tipping the earth into untold suffering and the inevitable backlash that will come against all scientists when you are exposed. Then watch the Al Gore’s blame you for the bad science. You don’t really think these people will take responsibility for their irresponsibility, do you? They will just spin it and blame it on everyone else. That is what they do. By the way, all this talk of consensus is Al Gore speak. It is team rule right out of the communist play book. The consensus of the team is all important, not truth, and no opposing voice will be heard after the consensus is agreed upon.

Now you know why they will never give it up. People bound in group think, become like a cult. They have blind faith in group consensus and circle the wagons when confronted.

The climate change deniers - - Breaking News, Political News & National Security News - The Washington Times

The debate over anthropogenic — that is, human induced — climate change, is, in other words, just a bit more complicated than Al Gore suggested on “Oprah.” Few books have captured this cognitive dissonance as well as “The Deniers,” Mr. Solomon’s essential, engrossing travelogue through the world of climate-change dissent.

In “The Deniers”‘ deniers are not the usual suspects paraded out by a media eager for Scopes Monkey Trial II: Flat Earthers’ Revenge. They aren’t blustery, ill-informed television pundits or slash-and-burn polemicists.

Rather, Mr. Solomon introduces us to legendary scientists with impeccable resumes and prestigious appointments at major universities and mainstream research institutes; thoughtful, serious professionals who, at their own professional peril, looked at one or another of the shibboleths of global warming alarmism — from the debunked “hockey stick” graphic and misread ice core samples to the amateurish or incorrect computer models and fear-mongering — and bravely refused to join the herd, profitable as that may be these days.

Likewise, Mr. Solomon’s own position as founder and executive director of the well-regarded international environmental group Energy Probe makes it considerably more difficult for opponents to shellac him as a right-wing reactionary moonlighting as an oil company stooge

We need more people like Lord Christopher Monckton and James Inhofe? The global warming swindle is so obvious once you hear the facts. These gentlemen are of the few in politics doing anything about getting those facts out.

As soon as the carbon control freaks use disinformation to pass costs or taxes unto the population they should be sued. If Al Gore’s propaganda film is required viewing in schools or anywhere else those requiring it should be sued. The evidence is clear that they have no proof that man is causing global warming and it will stand up in court. In contrast, Gore’s Inconvenient truth film already got shot down in court as a pack of lies.

Al Gore will not debate anyone. He knows the information he presents is Junk Scien
