To save the earth, Tax Tax Tax Tax
Mar 2nd
I came across this article this evening and blood shot out of my eyes as I strained to understand WTF. I am going to include the entire article. It is short enough and I have comments on every part of it.
From the New York Times (figures):
Fuel Taxes Must Rise, Harvard Researchers Say
By SINDYA N. BHANOOTo meet the Obama administration’s targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, some researchers say, Americans may have to experience a sobering reality: gas at $7 a gallon.
So, to meet greenhouse gas emissions targets put forward by the Church of Global Warming, we have to drive our economy into the shitter? You all remember what happened when gas was $4.00 a gallon.
To reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the transportation sector 14 percent from 2005 levels by 2020, the cost of driving must simply increase, according to a forthcoming report by researchers at Harvard’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.
According to them, the cost of driving must more then double to reduce emissions by fourteen percent? Do you get that?
To reduce emissions by 14%… Fuel prices must go up by 105%? Wait the what?
The 14 percent target was set in the Environmental Protection Agency’s budget for fiscal 2010.
In their study, the researchers devised several combinations of steps that United States policymakers might take in trying to address the heat-trapping emissions by the nation’s transportation sector, which consume 70 percent of the oil used in the United States.
Most of their models assumed an economy-wide carbon dioxide tax starting at $30 a ton in 2010 and escalating to $60 a ton in 2030. In some cases researchers also factored in tax credits for electric and hybrid vehicles, taxes on fuel or both.
In the modeling, it turned out that issuing tax credits could backfire, while taxes on fuel proved beneficial.
There we go. That’s it. That’s what it comes down to. Taxes. Taxes = Control. How do you get the price of fuel up 105% artificially? Tax it. And if they tax the frack out of us, their power grows. Amazing when only (according to the WRI, a source that is a member of the Church) 9.9% of all world Greenhouse Gas (Read CO2) emissions are from road transportation.
“Tax credits don’t address how much people use their cars,” said Ross Morrow, one of the report’s authors. “In reverse, they can make people drive more.”
Dr. Morrow, formerly a fellow at the Belfer Center, is a professor of mechanical engineering and economics at Iowa State University
Researchers said that vehicle miles traveled will increase by more than 30 percent between 2010 and 2030 unless policymakers increase fuel taxes.
And this illustrates even more what they would do. Taking money out of my pocket and putting it into someone else’s for following their religion isn’t enough to help. Environmental Communism alone won’t cut it. They need more.
At no time will any of these “fixes” ever… ever call for a reduction in government power or control. The Church of Global Warming will use everything they can as an excuse to take power from you in the name of their “God”. This is the same story told time and time again through history.
They can help you, but first you must give up everything.

How Global Warming distorts US Jobless Figures

How Global Warming distorts US Jobless Figures
We all know global warming causes everything bad and nothing good, but what is the worst thing that it could cause?
Nope.
The death of the Loch Ness Monster?
Not even close.
No, the worst thing that Global Warming could di is to make Obama look bad. (And I don’t have to use all six degrees of Global Warming to do it)
Where did I leave my Keys to Airforce One?
February 10, 2010 – Right in line with Time Magazine’s typical political stance, they expressed how the blizzards of 2010 were caused by global warming:
In the meantime, warmer air could be supercharged with moisture and, as long as the temperature remains below 32°F, it will result in blizzards rather than drenching winter rainstorms.
And if Time magazine isn’t enough for you, the National Wildlife Federation was a little more certain that it was Global Warming causing the snow. (ripped apart by a fantastic article at Cliamteaudit.org)
Global warming is having a seemingly peculiar effect on winter weather in the northern United States. Winter is becoming milder and shorter on average; spring arrives 10 to 14 days earlier than it did just 20 years ago. But most Snowbelt areas are still experiencing extremely heavy snowstorms. Some places are even expected to have more heavy snowfall events as storm tracks shift northward and as reduced ice cover on the Great Lakes increases lake-effect snowfalls. Even as global warming slowly changes the character of winter, we will still experience significant year-to-year variability in snowfall and temperature because many different factors are at play.
So, according to the greenies, Global Warming causes global cooling.
What does this have to do with US jobless figures and making Obama look bad you may ask?
The White House came out yesterday to try to head of the upcoming and obviously negative news about US jobless figures.
WASHINGTON, March 1 (Reuters) – White House economic adviser Larry Summers said on Monday winter blizzards were likely to distort U.S. February jobless figures, which are due to be released on Friday.
“The blizzards that affected much of the country during the last month are likely to distort the statistics. So it’s going to be very important … to look past whatever the next figures are to gauge the underlying trends,” Summers said in an interview with CNBC, according to a transcript.
Construction activity was hit particularly hard by the storms, but many restaurants and stores also had to close, putting the brakes on hiring plans and temporarily throwing some employees out of work.
Let me paraphrase:
Wait wait everybody, before we tell you how bad they are, remember, it is all because of the winter blizzards. Don’t blame Obama. Blame the weather.
So there you have it. Global Warming = Global Cooling = Blizzards = disruption in Obama’s Plan = Obama looks bad.
When will the craziness ever cease?
Lift your head up high and blow your brains out

Lift your head up high and blow your brains out
From multiple news sources (here, here, here, here)
For an Argentinean couple, their fears over the effects of Climate Change were the rational reason to take their lives and the lives of their children. Their seven month old is still alive after a neighbor found the carnage three days later. The baby went three days with a bullet hole through her chest before she was found.
Reminds me of a song:
And they think us “teabaggers” are bad. “So save the planet and kill yourself.” What a bunch of idiots.

Netherlands adds to UN climate report controversy.
Feb 5th
The Netherlands are a bit confused. They have to be, there is no way to explain this away and still maintain any validity in the IPCC.
According to the 2007 IPCC Report, 55% of the Netherlands is below sea level. You can even see people who have been members of the Church of Global Warming referencing this since 2007. (here, here, here… it goes on, just do as Rosie O’Donnell says and “google it”)
The Netherlands however is a bit miffed, you see because only 26% of their land is below sea level. Or 29% more than the IPCC said.
According to the Dutch authorities, only 26 percent of the country is below sea level, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will be asked to account for its figures, environment ministry spokesman Trimo Vallaart told AFP.
The incident could cause further embarrassment for the IPCC, which recently admitted a claim in the same report that global warming could melt Himalayan glaciers by 2035 was wrong.
IPCC experts calculated that 55 percent of the Netherlands was below sea level by adding the area below sea level — 26 percent — to the area threatened by river flooding — 29 percent — Vallaart said.
“They should have been clearer,” Vallaart said, adding that the Dutch office for environmental planning, an IPCC partner, had exact figures.
My favorite line in this article shows the contempt still for those who dare to question these people:
Glaciologists have discredited the Himalaya claim, which is being withdrawn, and the controversy has given fresh ammunition to climate skeptics.
Mother fracking seriously?? “given fresh ammunition to climate skeptics”? No one else is questioning this crap but the “Skeptics”?
Oh yea, that’s right. That’s why they call it faith.
No evidence could be found to show the claim had been published in a peer-reviewed journal and reports in Britain have said the reference came from green group the WWF, who in turn sourced it to the New Scientist magazine.
You have the IPCC here referencing “peer-reviewed” stuff that referenced the World Wildlife Fund. Tell me… Isn’t a scientific journal referencing an Environmentalist group report be akin to the kind of bias they yelp about if a scientific journals were to reference a company like, oh… Exxon?
Science is supposed to be objective. So what the crap would you call a peer-reviewed report that references the WWF that is then passed along as acceptable material to the IPCC?
Climate “Science” is based on anecdotal evidence
Jan 31st
There has been a lot of press lately about the Climate Change fraud going on, but this one puts a lot of their “Science” into perspective.
From Telegraph.co.uk:
In its most recent report, it stated that observed reductions in mountain ice in the Andes, Alps and Africa was being caused by global warming, citing two papers as the source of the information.
However, it can be revealed that one of the sources quoted was a feature article published in a popular magazine for climbers which was based on anecdotal evidence from mountaineers about the changes they were witnessing on the mountainsides around them.
The other was a dissertation written by a geography student, studying for the equivalent of a master’s degree, at the University of Berne in Switzerland that quoted interviews with mountain guides in the Alps.
The revelations, uncovered by The Sunday Telegraph, have raised fresh questions about the quality of the information contained in the report, which was published in 2007.
So, let me get this straight… The entire world’s economic system and the freedom of all people on Earth is threatened because some ice climbers were chatting and some geography student quoted them in a school report?
Well, while we’re taking school reports as expert evidence for policy change, I would like to quote my nephew:
I would ROFLMAO if I wasn’t all like WTF.
Danny Glover: Haiti=Responce for Failed Copenhagen
Jan 18th
There has been a lot of press in the news with someone religious saying something very stupid regarding the Haiti earthquake. What was said involved a religious deity causing the events in Haiti and could have been stopped if people just acted differently.
And it’s not just Pat Roberts, though he is the one getting all the press.
While I won’t disagree that what he said was stupid, I find it disturbing how much attention he is getting while a member of the Church of Global Warming said practically the same thing.
From Danny Glover:
This is a great moment for another type of internationalism, you know. And I hope we seize this particular moment. Because the threat that happened to Haiti is the threat that can happen anywhere in the Caribbean to these island nations, you know. They’re all in peril because of global warming, they’re all in peril because of climate change and all of this. And we need to find…When we did what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen, this is the response, this is what happens. You know what I’m saying? But we have to act now.
Both Glover and Roberts comments are nearly identical.
In one case, (Pat Roberts) the event in Haiti was caused by a deal signed with the devil to overthrow the French…
In the other case (Danny Glover) event in Haiti was caused because we didn’t sign a deal with the Greenies (in Copenhagen) for the Earth.
I submit that at more of a core, you have a few stupid people saying stupid things about what caused an earthquake. Religion in either case has these people speaking out of their butts. However what is most fascinating is how much Pat Robertson is being covered over Danny Glover for comments about the same thing (A religious cause of an earthquake in Haiti).
When you search their names the results in Google News (at the time of this posting) are quite different.
Pat Robertson Haiti: 2,539
Danny Glover Haiti: 239
It is quite interesting how one religion is fashionable to hate, while the other is simply fashionable. It should be noted too that Glover isn’t just talking about our failure to act in Copenhagen being simply in the relm of Global Warming, but his comments were pretty clearly Big Government… but this whole Global Warming thing on its own is pretty Big Government.

Record Heat is Proof of Global Warming, Record Cold Should be Ignored
Jan 7th
It is not hard to find members of the Church clamoring all over themselves with their proof of global warming by pointing out record heat. A simple Google search will give you all the pages you want for this (despite many of them ignoring the last 10 years of cooling).
But during a record cold spell, in times like this, one must be reminded by the true believers that just because heat is a sign of global warming, that doesn’t mean cold is the opposite: A sign against.
A couple of examples for you:
Beijing had its coldest morning in almost 40 years and its biggest snowfall since 1951. Britain is suffering through its longest cold snap since 1981. And freezing weather is gripping the Deep South, including Florida’s orange groves and beaches.
Whatever happened to global warming?
Such weather doesn’t seem to fit with warnings from scientists that the Earth is warming because of greenhouse gases. But experts say the cold snap doesn’t disprove global warming at all — it’s just a blip in the long-term heating trend.
The brutal cold snap that has put much of the Northern Hemisphere on ice this week doesn’t disprove global warming or mean we’re off the hook for greenhouse emissions.
…
No sane climate scientist would say that global warming means never having another severe cold snap. What it does mean is a gradual shifting of the odds away from record-breaking cold days and toward record-breaking hot ones.
Closer to home, while we shivered yesterday, in Madrid the temperature was 10C against a seasonal average of 9C, and in Rome it was 13C, compared to an average of 11C. The weather’s natural variability means it is impossible to draw long-term conclusions about a changing climate from any single episode, be it of hot, or cold.
Surely, this means that all of this talk — or at least some of it — about global warming is hype.
No, it doesn’t.
But he said it was wrong to focus on single events – whether they were cold snaps or heat waves – which were the product of natural variability.
Instead they should look at the underlying, longer term trends for the climate which were more ”robust” evidence of the changes which are happening.
They go on and on. The dilemma here is they are all saying the same thing:
Just because we’re in a cold snap, doesn’t mean we should see that as a sign of anything. Instead we should look at the bigger picture.
Much like the Wizard of Oz, here they say one thing, but behind the curtain, something else entirely is going on.
Now, again, the Interweb is a fantastic source of information. Anyone can Google and disprove what their saying now in regards to not paying attention to a single weather event. They have all argued at one point or another that every time it gets hot for a day, that warmth is proof positive of climate change. Even watching the media reflects this, as television is bombarded every summer with Global Warming this, Climate Change that every time the mercury rises even for a short event.
Yet now that big-time cold is happening, and not just for a day or an isolated event, they yelp to ignore the facts behind the curtain.
As one commentator (by the name of board_member) wrote on the Independent article:
Wait just one cotton-pickin’ minute, it seems like only yesterday (maybe 2 weeks ago), all you climate warm-mongers were screaming and shouting, touting VERY localized observations of warming trends to reinforce your claims of the devastating effects of anthropogenic global warming. Now that the same observations don’t support that claim, you’re saying that the localized observations are meaningless? What gives?? Which is it??
You’re not trying to sell us something, are you? Surely not!
You see, I have two problems with the whole “Let’s look at long-term trends” thing that they are spouting now.
They weren’t saying it in the summer, or when they wanted to point out localized observations of warming.
Even if we go back a thousand years, we still aren’t looking “long-term trends” which go back millions of years.
The earth has been warming/cooling with and without humans here. We are even at a low point when it comes to the earth’s temperature, as the average global temperature is somewhere around 6-8 degrease census warmer then the earth is now, but all of this history and “long-term trends” is ignored for 1000 year hockey stick graphs to pick and choose the reference points. I’m sorry, but 1000 years of history on the Earth (which even ignores the medieval warm period) is like me judging climate trends for the next year based off of the last fifteen seconds.
In the case of measuring history and pointing fingers, size matters, and no one wants to show the temperature record going back millions of years because it completely blows away the entire notion of human caused global warming. Sorry guys, but my graph is bigger.
