Meet the women who won't have babies - because they're not eco friendly

Um...sometimes saying little the the best thing to say. But if I had to say something "good!" comes to mind.

Gore's prize: A fraud on the people


Well, there is little I can add to this. Hmm....
Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Sir Austen Chamberlain, Albert Sweitzer, The International Committe of the Red Cross, Martin Luther King, Henry Kissinger, Amnesty International, The Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, Desmund Tutu, Nelson Mandella.....and Al Gore? Just rolls off your tongue, like the last swig of a cheap bottle of beer!

But the seriousness of the decision to award ALGORE for the regurgitation of scientific mythdom is troubling and frightening. But then again, perhaps the article is a little short-sighted, after all he's also on the same list as Yasser Arafat, Mikhail Gorbachev, Jimmy Carter, Kofi Annan, and a rabble of other terrorists, communists, feeble-minded, con-artists!

Well, I'm not sure what this judge is smoking, but he's my kind of guy!

This story has it all..claims of brainwashing, pissed off parents, high crimes and misdemeanors, even school teachers in fits of hysteria!

All across the world, the "Inconvenient Truth" is being used as an indoctrin-
ation device. The science in which the movie is based upon is not even proven as fact, it's scientific theory, yet when shown in science classrooms it is ordained as "the one and only truth."

Truisms, as they are, are often disputed by the intellectuals of our society. Hell, Aristotle mad a living debunking the truisms of his day. In fact, he went largely untouched, as he provocatively challenged Greek authority. But not today! Today, you had better sit in your seat and shut the hell up!

I find it amazing to me that schools all over America have shown this film, and many of them not even in science classrooms! I guess it's o.k. to pray to ALGORE and give offerings to the Church of Inconvenience, but not to Jesus.

Isn't that what schools are saying? Have faith in a washed up fat politician, but please, discard 2000 years of Christian tradition because there is "no proof" we were created?

This story is amusing and like the whole debate itself, it's full of twists and turns, good vs. evil...

David Miliband, who was Environment-Secretary when the school packs were announced, said at the time: 'The debate over the science of climate change is well and truly over.'

Hold on Mili!

But during the three-day hearing, the court heard that the critically-acclaimed film contains a number of inaccuracies, exaggerations and statements about global warming for which there is currently insufficient scientific evidence.

That's the court's ruling, not my words! Aparently, the court did something the scientific community has largely been unable to do, request ALGORE and his love stricken puppets, to prove what it is of which he speaks of!

Schools must warn of Gore climate film bias

Obviously, someone didn't take their medication!

HUSH! Who the hell asked you?! All you're doing is is causing trouble! Noel Sheppard wrote this article on November 7th. In it, he surmises it would...
certainly garner attention from press members -- assuming journalism hasn't been completely replaced by propagandist activism, that is.

Bueller? Bueller? Sorry Shep, but I think you've got your answer!
In an article that has been largely spiked by the lame stream media, Weather Channel Founder, John Coleman unequivicolly states his views on GOREBAL Warning.
It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create in [sic] allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the "research" to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.

Something tells me, Mr. Coleman isn't going to be invited to the MoveOn.org Christmas party!
I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismissal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.

Aren't we all!

News Busters

Ahh..the 70's, I remember it well. Bell bottoms, tight shirts, the Village People, and pre-AIDS sexual liberty for all! Life was grand, or so we thought...

In April 1975, Newsweek published, what is now been relegated to the "deny at all costs" files, an article that describes the cooling trend in the weather. Prominent scientists of the day were interviewed and the general consensus was "The Earth is entering the next ice age."

Now, some 22 years later, Newsweek would like the dismiss the whole matter as a fun look the the catastrophic end of all of us; you know, just a light hearted article presenting a different view of main stream science. But as Jeff Jacoby points out:

Newsweek took rather a different line in 1975. Then, the magazine reported that scientists were "almost unanimous" in believing that the looming Big Chill would mean a decline in food production, with some warning that "the resulting famines could be catastrophic." Moreover, it said, "the evidence in support of these predictions" - everything from shrinking growing seasons to increased North American snow cover - had "begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it."

Jacoby then really puts the puts the boots to the throat of Newsweek "journalist" John Meacham.

What is brilliant about Jacoby's article is, he lays the foundation as to why anyone with half a mind (are you listening to me ITO?) should view the GOREBAL Warning shenanigans with a great deal of inredulity.

Why the relentless labeling of those who point out weaknesses in the global-warming models as "deniers," or agents of the "denial machine," or deceptive practitioners of "denialism?" Wouldn't it be more effective to answer the challengers, some of whom are highly credentialed climate scientists in their own right, with scientific data and arguments, instead of snide insinuations of venality and deceit?

Isn't that what many of us on the "wrong" side of the issue have been claiming all along. Jacoby speaks to the very heart of the debate, that it is just that, a debate! When is science going to prove/disprove the link between humans and climate change? The answer is simple, we're not.

To ALGORE and his ilk, the truth is not profitable; how often do we get told at how profitable "going green" is? Just look at ALGORE's own bank account! How much do you think the rotund prophet of eco-doom has made since leaving office?! And why doesn't ALGORE want to run for President? The answer is simple, he can't afford the pay cut!

Jacoby concludes his article with this quote:

"The greatest dangers to liberty," Justice Louis Brandeis wrote, "lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding."

Amen brother!

Hot tempers on global warming

The Boston Globe

And all this time I thought U of Hawaii was a drinking school...

O.K. So maybe being drunk in Hawaii is not everything it is cracked up to be, but this article, that has clearly been offshored for purposes I cannot explain, kicks the GOREBAL Warning crowd right in the coconuts!

The article is indexed in the "Skeptic's Toolkit" section of this blog, but it has it all. It's an indictment of the very science used by ALGORE and his ilk.

You see, ultimatley science and ...er..ahem..."scientists" have to submit their research and data for peer review, it's sort of the "bullshit siff test" if you will. And when these supposed scientists step out of the lime light and any from CNN, they actually have to submit something, ANYTHING, to get research money. Unfortunately, much of what is popularized as "fact" by the inept news media of our day, eventually becomes fodder for paper shredders.

A must read!

New Peer-Reviewed Scientific Studies Chill Global Warming Fears

From One Dork to Many Dorks

When your good friend that has bought into the GOREBAL Warning dilirium, simply say, "It's o.k. man, even scientists get it wrong." Yes, we all have a responsibility to pull our friends from the chaos that is carbon reduction.

Hell, I even advocate an intervention! Take your buddy up to the camp, cut some trees, make a bonfire, eat foods from the furthest reaches of the earth, and ride your four-wheelers all over hell! At the end of the weekend, you can breath easy knowing you did your part in two ways; 1. You "stuck it to the man." and 2. you saved your friend from wussification. EVERYONE WINS!

This article desribes how one nerd with a 56.6 modem and an Excel spreadsheet found an error in NASA's data findings. From what I've gathered, the "blogger of fame" is a Canadian (which doesn't speak well of America's standing in the space race) but I regress.

Of course the media and NASA down play the error because hey, who wants to admit they are not checking facts, doing cross-refrencing, and drinky copious amounts of Kool-Aid from sippy cups?

But as per the article, these "slight" changes in data are actually significant changes to the tired old arguments:

Further adjustments were made to the US data this year to take into account new information and new interpretations of how it should be adjusted. This meant that 1934 took over from 1998 as the hottest year on record in the US, and 1921 moved into third place above 2006.

PETA EATS ALGORE IN SEARCH OF MEAT!

Who knew Peta would be hungry for ham? Listen, my position on ALGORE is pretty clear, but PETA is absolutely off the charts stupid.

That said, I have to ask myself, who has more integrity; The jet-setting ALGORE expanding he carbon footprint to the size of a mastadon's, or PETA who collect stray animals and give them the sleepy needle?

I wonder if we could have a UFC title fight? We could bill it as "Guts vs. Nuts!"

But then again, who would pay for that?
