Libs: No snow? Its Climate Change! Snow? It's Climate Change!

When will Americans get these fools to stop fooling us?

Lack of snow is a crisis of climate change as these Democratic legislators lamented in the recent past:

Now, massive snow is, in fact, part of climate change, according to Time Magazine:

Another Blizzard: What Happened to Global Warming?

"...There is some evidence that climate change could in fact make such massive snowstorms more common, even as the world continues to warm..."

Oh yes, make no mistake about it there is climate change. It's called the weather!

Busted: UN climate panel bogus claim

The UNs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), appears to have made false rainforest claims and is another sham perpetrated onto the world as a strategy for transferring billions to poorer countries.  This panel is chaired by Rajendra Kumar Pachauri who along with Al Gore have gotten filthy rich. 

Will their unsubstantiated claim drives more nails into the coffin of climate change?

Did I mention this panel shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former U.S. Vice President Al Gore?

Obama; climate change is a growing danger - Chavez; it still smells like sulfur!

It is plausible that every storm, every drought, every tornado, every hurricane could be blamed on "climate change."  Have you noticed these libs are using this phrase more rather than "global warming"?  Because it ain't happening.  This all just may be a bamboozlement of the most epic proportion - - from the very liberal  a socialistic agenda disguised as climate threats in order to transfer wealth from richer nations to poor nations.

Update 12:40 PM CT:  President Obama is trying to work his charm on China's PM;  Obama, Wen seek climate change agreement

President Obama met privately for nearly an hour with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in hopes of breaking a deadlock on a final document that the gathered nations can agree to -- one that sets targets for greenhouse gas emissions and financial aid to developing nations.

Update 7:40 PM CT:  Low targets, goals dropped: Copenhagen ends in failure

...Lumumba Di-Aping, chief negotiator for the G77 group of 130 developing countries, was scathing: "This deal will definitely result in massive devastation in Africa and small island states. It has the lowest level of ambition you can imagine. It's nothing short of climate change scepticism in action.

"It locks countries into a cycle of poverty for ever. Obama has eliminated any difference between him and Bush."

Its our fault other countries are poor?

Obama cast his trip as a sign of renewed US global leadership. "The time has come for us to get off the sidelines and shape the future that we seek; that is why I came to Copenhagen," he said. But he said he would not be staying for the final vote "because of weather constraints in Washington".

A massive snowfall forced President Obama to leave Copenhagen early, folks!  Oh no - the end is coming

LOL

Senator Inhofe warns in Copenhagen: U.S. Senate will not pass cap and trade

One of the most vocal climate change skeptics is Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma.  He traveled to Copenhagen to let people there know the U.S. Senate will not pass cap and trade. 

One of the questions he was asked ought to send chills up your spine.

...“I am here to make sure the 190 countries here don’t go home with the false impression,” said Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla. “The United States is not going to pass cap and trade.  It just isn’t going to happen. Its chances are zero.”

...Democratic leaders, including Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., disagree, and predict the Senate will pass such a bill this spring.

Surrounded by reporters from around the world, including many who believe global warming is real, Inhofe often looked like a lamb on his way to slaughter.

One reporter asked Inhofe “What do you tell the children who have to live in a nightmare world. What should we tell them about your country being a heroin addict on fossil fuel? Answer the question!”

“Most of you are on the far left side, so listen closely. I contend the consensus is not there, and it wasn’t there prior to Climate-gate.”

“Nothing binding will come out of here in my opinion, and if it does it will be rejected by the American people.”

Meanwhile, Sec. of State Hillary Clinton offered a $100 billion carrot of U.S. taxpayer money, or borrowed money from Communist China with interest, to the rest of the world.  Make no mistake folks, climate change is a way to transfer a large part of the wealth from richer nations to poorer ones. 

Clinton, who is one of six cabinet members accompanying Obama to the climate summit, said climate change “is an undeniable and unforgiving fact.”And the U.S. was willing to work with other nations to reduce c02 emissions, but any agreement here must have “full transparency.”

Yes, climate change is real - its called the weather.- and it changes four times a year.

Meanwhile, Attorney General Eric Holder's old firm Covington and Burling weighed in on the climate debate today:

Any accord is likely to come in the form of a consensus by the negotiating parties, something in between a legally binding treaty and a political agreement, said Ruben Kraiem, co-chair of the climate practice for attorneys Covington & Burling LLP in New York.

"It'll be a consensus political agreement," Kraiem said in an interview in Copenhagen. "It's not just a handshake and it's also not a treaty. It's a decision by a corporate body."

Video: Al Gore refused ClimateGate question - who is the denier now?

Al Gore, the well-known spokesman for global warming  - now mostly called climate change - refused to answer a journalist's question at Copenhagen.

United Nations security officials have once again prevented a journalist from asking attendees at the climate change conference in Copenhagen questions about the growing ClimateGate scandal.

This time, the person on the receiving end of the apparently forbidden queries was Nobel Laureate Al Gore.

Much as when Ireland's Phelim McAleer tried to ask Stanford professor Stephen Schneider questions Thursday about the controversial e-mail messages obtained from the British Climatic Research Unit last month, McAleer was similarly rebuffed by Gore and his entourage Monday.

Not only did the former Vice President completely refuse to answer questions about his blatant misrepresentations of the age of the most recent e-mail message obtained from Britain's CRU, a U.N. security official actually disconnected McAleer's microphone to make sure any answers would be unrecorded.

Will EPA take control if Congress doesn't pass cap and trade?

Americans, here it comes - the strong fist of the socialistic-like Obama government smashes the head of Congress.  Scary.

The EPA declared greenhouse gases a danger to public health on Monday which paves the way for them to act on their own outside of Congress.  Who needs all three branches of the government, anyway?  Not Obama.

The EPA has now warned, through an annonomous top EPA official who met with several reporters yesterday:

The Obama administration is warning Congress that if it doesn't move to regulate greenhouse gases, the Environmental Protection Agency will take a "command-and-control" role over the process in a way that could hurt business. 

The warning, from a top White House economic official who spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity, came on the eve of EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson's address to the international conference on climate change in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Jackson, however, tried to strike a tone of cooperation in her address Wednesday, explaining that the EPA's new powers to regulate greenhouse gases will be used to complement legislation pending in Congress, not replace it.

"This is not an 'either-or' moment. It's a 'both-and' moment," she said.

Time will tell.

ClimateGate: a scandal of global proportion?

Could anyone possibly have missed the news that thousands of e-mails hacked from leading global warming scientists which clearly cast doubt that global warming is real since they exposed the data was manipulated - possibly for years?  If you just watch ABC, CBS and NBC evening news you really may not know about it, according to some.  The article I refer to below is from CBS but did it or will it make the evening news?

Ripples created by the disclosure of global warming files now being called "ClimateGate" continue to spread, with congressional attention growing and the head of a prominent climate change group stepping aside.

Phil Jones, the head of the Climactic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, said on Tuesday that he will relinquish his post while the U.K. school conducts an investigation into allegations of scientific and professional misconduct.

U.N. climate change goals: rich nations give money to poor nations

The goal of the so-called "climate change" treaty the U.N. wants to implement world-wide is for rich nations to give money to poor nations:

Will a Climate Change Treaty have the potential to cede the U.S. constitution?

A climate change agreement will be pushed forward by President Barack Obama this week in Copenhagen.  A formal treaty, resulting from this meeting, may be ready in 2010 but it also could stall out.

On December 7th,  the UN talks opened with a call for urgent action and ignored the thousands of emails that clearly showed the fraud leading climate change scientists were committing.  This needs to be cleared up and not just brushed aside.  Everyone should be skeptical, at this point.   The bottom line here is the potential transfer of billions of dollars from richer nations to poorer nones based on worrisome and faulty data. 

Former VP Al Gore confronted about errors in his global warming movie

Former Vice President Al Gore conducted a rare Q & A at a conference of environmental journalists in Wisconsin last Friday.  When one of the journalist questioned Gore on errors cited by a UK judge in his 2005 documentary titled "Inconvenient Truth,"  he tried to ditch the questions and then the man was then cut off by other journalists or program officials (see video below).  

Aren't journalists suppose to probe, to question and be skeptical in order to flesh out the truth?  Geez.

In 2007, USA Today reported UK judge finds problems in Gore film, and ruled some of the assertions in Gore's documentary were not supported by scientific evidence.  The article went on to say the judge ruled the government's plan to show the film violated laws banning the promotion of partisan political views in the classroom, but could proceed if teachers ensure that Gore's political views are not seen as being endorsed by schools or is misused as political indoctrination.

Ice bridge breaks in the Antartic

There's a lot of controversy about global warming. Many scientists doubt it exists or if it does exist, they doubt it's caused by man.  I have no clue.  But the breaking of a very large ice bridge in the Antartic this weekend caught my attention.

There are few news stories about this so I do not know if this is significant or if this is similar to normal natural events which have occurred throughout history:

Oslo: "An ice bridge holding a vast Antarctic ice shelf in place has shattered and may herald a wider collapse caused by global warming, a scientist said Saturday.

“It’s amazing how the ice has ruptured,” said David Vaughan, a glaciologist with the British Antarctic Survey. “Two days ago it was intact,” he said, referring to a satellite image of the Wilkins ice shelf.

The satellite picture, by the European Space Agency, showed that a strip of ice about 25 miles long that is believed to pin the ice shelf in place had snapped.

Change you can believe in: Thunder storms are a security threat

At the confirmation hearing yesterday for the next secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, who will be responsible for foreign policy under President Obama, the weather was brought up as a security threat to foreign policy! 

First, let's take note that "global warming" is often being replaced by the term "climate change" because the cold weather in 2008 was recorded as the coldest since the turn of the 21st century!

"You Mr. Chairman [Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.] were among the very first in a growing chorus from both parties to recognize that climate change is an unambiguous security threat,” Clinton said. “At the extreme it threatens our very existence. But well before that point, it could well incite new wars of an old kind over basic resources – like food, water and arable land.”

Clinton stated the UN Climate Change (UNFCCC) conference will be the next chance for the United States to ratify a climate change treaty like the Kyoto Protocol.  Previously, this was rejected by the U.S. Senate 95-0 in 1997.

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., the incoming chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, called the weather a “national security threat.”

In February 2008, Kerry blamed tornadoes on global warming and warned there would be more to come if global warming weren’t addressed."

My hat goes off to Oklahomans who gave John McCain his largest win in the presidential election.  Can you see why?

It could be we are a tad-bit smarter than the average voter.

Does Obama's Climate Czar, Carol M. Browner, have socialist ties?

The Washington Times has reported President-elect Barack Obama's selection for "Climate Czar" is a member of Socialist International in her leadership role at the Commission for Sustainable World Society (see pdf file of saved webpage below dated 1/5/09).  This group apparently calls for rich countries to shrink their economies in order to combat climate change, according to Wikipedia.

Now, of course, the commission has removed her named.  Gee, do they think we are that stupid? 

Apparently so.

By the way, did you know Denmark has built thousands of windmills and has not been able to reduce the need for one power plant (midway in the article).

If Obama gets his "green" goals advanced in America prepare to pay double or triple for electricity and gas soon while he spends our country into massive unsustainable debt, like you never seen before.

Then, poof, we will collapse and the Saudi's will step in...

Al Gore in 1993: Science will not interfere with public policy on global warming!!

Oh My God, could this be true?

"Noted energy expert and Princeton physicist Dr. Will Happer has sharply criticized global warming alarmism. Happer, author of over 200 scientific papers and a past director of energy research at the Department of Energy, called fears over global warming "mistaken".

...Dr. Happer views climate change as a predominately natural process. "The earth's climate is changing now, as it always has. There is no evidence that the changes differ in any qualitative way from those of the past."

...In 1991, Happer was appointed director of energy research for the US Department of Energy. In 1993, he testified before Congress that the scientific data didn't support widespread fears about the dangers of the ozone hole and global warming, remarks that caused then-Vice President Al Gore to fire him. "I was told that science was not going to intrude on public policy", he said. "I did not need the job that badly".

In response to Happer's remarks, Senator James Inhofe, ranking minority member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, said, "The endless claims of a consensus on man-made global warming grow less and less credible every day".

CNN meterologist Chad Myers challenges global warming theory!

Chad Myers, an American Meteorological Society certified meteorologist, explained on CNN’s Dec. 18 “Lou Dobbs Tonight” that the whole idea that man can affect mother nature is arrogant and mankind was more in danger of dying from other natural events rather than global warming.

Myers is the second CNN meteorologist to challenge the global warming conventions common in the media. He also said trying to determine patterns occurring in the climate would be difficult based on such a short span, according to an article by the Business Media Institute.

 

However, in another article tourist are traveling to the South Pole in record numbers to watch the ice melt there:

 

"Kayaker Jon Bowermaster witnessed the chilling sight of icebergs crack and crumble as he led a 12-man team 500 miles around the northern Antarctic Peninsula for five weeks.

 

...A recent NASA study shows that ice loss in the world’s seventh largest continent has increased by 75 per cent in the past ten years due to a speed up in the melting of its coastal glacier."

 

And lastly, a 231 page report by the U.S. Senate Committee on Environmental and Public Works include over 600 dissenting scientists who challenge the man-made global-warming theoryby the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and former Vice President Al Gore:

"The report notes: “The over 650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media-hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers.”

Confused? 

Many still unaccounted for following Hurricane Ike

There are conflicting reports about the total missing following Hurricane Ike.  I found two reports, one from ABC News/13, that there are 400 people still missing while KHOU.com in Houston states the number is 50.

I know from a missing list for the Bolivar Peninsula I found, there are over 100 people missing just there.

So why the discrepancy?

News blackout in Crystal Beach, Texas

At a news conference with the Governor of Texas, which I think took place yesterday, a reporter complained about lack of access to Bolivar Peninsula where Crystal Beach is located.  Apparently, reporters are being denied access to air space. 

This is most worrisome but we will hope and pray for the best. 

News coverage:

Here's a link to a long fly-by along the coast of Crystal Beach.

I wrote another post on the 15th about Crystal Beach.

Picture of the day: two survivors from Hurricane Ike

Here's is a picture of a home in Crystal Beach, Texas. Since there are no services on the peninsular they did what they had to do to let their family and friends know they survived that horrible hurricane by writing their names on the roof of their boat dock.

The before and after of a neighborhood in Crystal Beach, Texas

Below is a before and after picture of the Tidewater addition in Crystal Beach which shows the powerful destructive force of a category 2 hurricane when it hits land on the east or right side of its eye.

Where homes stood before in this sleepy beach-side community there are now just slabs or piles of debris, with a few homes here and there.  Crystal Beach is on the Bolivar Peninsular which is located east/northeast from Galveston.  A 15 minute ferry ride connects the two. 

People are asking for news about their missing friends and family on the Dallas Morning News weather blog which is so sad - but they are desperate.  I can't even imagine.

One post caught my eye:

"My mom lives at 946 Seadrift Road in Crystal Beach. Her name is Glennis Dunn and she is 70 years old. She refused to leave. Any information about her please email me at jrinker@deloitte.com."

Glennis lived next door to a dear friend of mine who moved from Crystal Beach last year!  We all knew her.  Her home is gone, and she is on the missing list with about 400 people.   May God be with her all who are missing. 

Here is a link to a 30 minute+ video taken from an helicopter that shows all of Crystal Beach - it's unbelievable.

There are more pictures here collected by a helpful citizen.  I got the picture below from this link.

Update 9/18/08:  Here's a link to video about a press conference yesterday about an apparent news blackout about Crystal Beach. 

Update 9/27/08:  Missing list from Hurricane Ike.  Unfortunately, Glennis is still on the list.
