Their title, not mine… personally, I think Al Gore is at least a bit evil as well as a lot wrong.

I can’t wait for the DVD.

These guys are amazing!

China space mission article hits Web before launch - Yahoo! News

BEIJING - A news story describing a successful launch of China’s long-awaited space mission and including detailed dialogue between astronauts launched on the Internet Thursday, hours before the rocket had even left the ground.

…

The arcticle, dated two days from now on Sept. 27, vividly described the rocket in flight, complete with a sharply detailed dialogue between the three astronauts.

Excerpts are below:

“After this order, signal lights all were switched on, various data show up on rows of screens, hundreds of technicians staring at the screens, without missing any slightest changes …

‘One minute to go!’

‘Changjiang No.1 found the target!’…

“The firm voice of the controller broke the silence of the whole ship. Now, the target is captured 12 seconds ahead of the predicted time …

Wow… they even predicted being 12 seconds ahead of their previous predictions!  Now THAT’S incredible.  I wonder if they’re filming on the same soundstage we used to simulate the lunar landings!?

But since I know you all so well, and I don’t remember any of you accusing me of being polite…  I present more random thoughts on religion.

The wave

Meet the Nobel Prize winning, self-aggrandizing, unparalleled scam artist that is Albert Arnold Gore, Jr.

Yes, the creator (and single greatest benefactor) of the carbon offset, is an energy sucking behemoth. Go figure.

Energy Guzzled by Al Gore’s Home in Past Year Could Power 232 U.S. Homes for a Month

In February 2007, An Inconvenient Truth, a film based on a climate change speech developed by Gore, won an Academy Award for best documentary feature. The next day, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research uncovered that Gore’s Nashville home guzzled 20 times more electricity than the average American household.

After the Tennessee Center for Policy Research exposed Gore’s massive home energy use, the former Vice President scurried to make his home more energy-efficient. Despite adding solar panels, installing a geothermal system, replacing existing light bulbs with more efficient models, and overhauling the home’s windows and ductwork, Gore now consumes more electricity than before the “green” overhaul.

Painting by numbers: NASA’s peculiar thermometer

Viewing the NASA 250-mile map for March below, what immediately grabs the attention is that NASA has essentially no data (gray areas) in most of Canada, most of Africa, the Greenland ice sheet, and most of Antarctica. This begs the question, how can one calculate an accurate “global temperature” while lacking any data from large contiguous regions of three continents?

With all the bullshit being slung about by the likes of big, fat, ugly Al Gore and his ilk… it’s really sad to discover such glaring discrepancies in the very science that’s supposed to be helping us figure this mess out. Who are we supposed to believe? How can anyone pretend that “the science is settled”, when they’re fucking LYING to us to blatantly?

Drill for the oil. Build the nuclear power plants. Give us our dignity back.

Clean up the environment… of course. Just quit making up new crying Indians to shame the ignorant into doing the right thing for the wrong reasons.

And stop being the ignorant.

I’m guessing John Coleman doesn’t get invited to ride on Al Gore’s private jet…

Weather Channel Founder’s Forecast

Currently, John Coleman is a TV weatherman for KUSI News in San Diego. But Coleman is most famous for being founder of the Weather Channel. He has had a long career in predicting the weather, working for the first time as a TV weatherman during his freshman year in college in 1953. With this extensive background, we might take John Coleman seriously when he states bluntly that global warming “is the greatest scam in history.”

The really sad part is that even President Bush has recently started to support the global-warming fruitcakes.

Well, all of this is predicated on carbon being a dirty word. And the carbon we’re talking about is carbon dioxide. Now, it’s the last remaining cornerstone of global warming.

The hockey-stick chart, that ridiculous scientific fraud, got shot down. The pronouncements by NASA about global temperature averages going up have been corrected, and now we know the warmest U.S. decade was the 1930s not the ’90s.

Let’s not forget, the American north is being nailed with yet more snow right now… and it’s the end of April.

The forecast calls for 22 degrees and snow tonight for International Falls, MN; while not a record, it’s below the average for the month.

Despite the ramblings of alarmists, scientists who might just know better keep telling us there’s something else going on here. For some time, solar activity has been looked at as the real cause behind climate change, and now we learn cyclical wind patterns weren’t even computed into the arctic models… so are carbon credits are this decade’s version of dot-com stocks?

Forget global warming: Welcome to the new Ice Age

In just the first two weeks of February, Toronto received 70 cm of snow, smashing the record of 66.6 cm for the entire month set back in the pre-SUV, pre-Kyoto, pre-carbon footprint days of 1950.

And remember the Arctic Sea ice? The ice we were told so hysterically last fall had melted to its “lowest levels on record? Never mind that those records only date back as far as 1972 and that there is anthropological and geological evidence of much greater melts in the past.

The ice is back.

Gilles Langis, a senior forecaster with the Canadian Ice Service in Ottawa, says the Arctic winter has been so severe the ice has not only recovered, it is actually 10 to 20 cm thicker in many places than at this time last year.

I may soon be glad I am living in a southern state…

Last month, Oleg Sorokhtin, a fellow of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, shrugged off manmade climate change as “a drop in the bucket.” Showing that solar activity has entered an inactive phase, Prof. Sorokhtin advised people to “stock up on fur coats.”

He is not alone. Kenneth Tapping of our own National Research Council, who oversees a giant radio telescope focused on the sun, is convinced we are in for a long period of severely cold weather if sunspot activity does not pick up soon.

Maybe Al Gore will roll some of his ill-gotten gains into extreme cold weather gear for the poor? Yeah, bet on that…

And then there’s this:

Temperature Monitors Report Widescale Global Cooling

Scientists quoted in a past DailyTech article link the cooling to reduced solar activity which they claim is a much larger driver of climate change than man-made greenhouse gases. The dramatic cooling seen in just 12 months time seems to bear that out. While the data doesn’t itself disprove that carbon dioxide is acting to warm the planet, it does demonstrate clearly that more powerful factors are now cooling it.

Let’s hope those factors stop fast. Cold is more damaging than heat. The mean temperature of the planet is about 54 degrees. Humans — and most of the crops and animals we depend on — prefer a temperature closer to 70.

Historically, the warm periods such as the Medieval Climate Optimum were beneficial for civilization. Corresponding cooling events such as the Little Ice Age, though, were uniformly bad news.

This would be hilarious, if the end result either way wasn’t so devastating.

IBDeditorials.com: Editorials, Political Cartoons, and Polls from Investor’s Business Daily — The Sun Also Sets

Back in 1991, before Al Gore first shouted that the Earth was in the balance, the Danish Meteorological Institute released a study using data that went back centuries that showed that global temperatures closely tracked solar cycles. To many, those data were convincing. Now, Canadian scientists are seeking additional funding for more and better “eyes” with which to observe our sun, which has a bigger impact on Earth’s climate than all the tailpipes and smokestacks on our planet combined. And they’re worried about global cooling, not warming.

So the logical answer - that the sun has cycles, and those cycles affect earth’s climate - may be forced back onto center stage. Will Al Gore apologize and give back the billions his globally executed fraud continues to steal from well-intentioned (albeit utterly gullible) people?

I can’t help but remember the news broadcasting fears of “global cooling” in the 70’s, and I’ve read plenty about the often forgotten “little ice age” of the 1700’s. Will a year-round frozen Hudson River be enough to wake up the global warming fanatics, or will they find a way to blame FROZEN RIVERS on global warming? I can’t wait. Maybe someday we’ll get a handle on the REAL climate, but as of right now, the best scientists can do is GUESS.

And morons who want to dictate policy based on GUESSES (especially ones biased by that entire segment of our population lost to the 60’s) don’t need to be making important decisions. Generation X, your LSD induced fantasies aren’t where we’ll find the answers. I know it seemed real, but the wind and trees weren’t really whispering in your ear.

Thanks to the American Thinker for linking that article.

How many holes in Al’s little Powerpoint presentation have to be punched before the whole thing collapses around his ears? Why is the “settled science” of man-induced global warming being challenged by more and more of the leading scientists in the world?

Why is big dumb Al so interested in scaring you into buying make-believe credits from companies he helped to create (and likely profits from heavily)?

Money, of course. Big dumb Al wants yours. And he wants to “be somebody”, of course… his political failures have turned the ego maniac that is Al Gore into a monster of another kind — with the liberal media (and the Norwegians) firmly at his back. What a sad, sad in-duh-vidual.

Gore gets a cold shoulder

ONE of the world’s foremost meteorologists has called the theory that helped Al Gore share the Nobel Peace Prize “ridiculous” and the product of “people who don’t understand how the atmosphere works”.

Dr William Gray, a pioneer in the science of seasonal hurricane forecasts, told a packed lecture hall at the University of North Carolina that humans were not responsible for the warming of the earth.

His comments came on the same day that the Nobel committee honoured Mr Gore for his work in support of the link between humans and global warming.

“We’re brainwashing our children,” said Dr Gray, 78, a long-time professor at Colorado State University. “They’re going to the Gore movie [An Inconvenient Truth] and being fed all this. It’s ridiculous.”

And the dreaded “hockey stick” diagram is as stupid as it sounds? Wow…

Red faces at NASA over climate-change blunder

In the United States, the calendar year 1998 ranked as the hottest of them all – until someone checked the math.

After a Toronto skeptic tipped NASA this month to one flaw in its climate calculations, the U.S. agency ordered a full data review.

Days later, it put out a revised list of all-time hottest years. The Dust Bowl year of 1934 now ranks as hottest ever in the U.S. – not 1998.

More significantly, the agency reduced the mean U.S. “temperature anomalies” for the years 2000 to 2006 by 0.15 degrees Celsius.

It was hotter 73 years ago than it is now… shall we go look at sunspot records for that time frame now? Or should we play it safe and see if there was an excess of cow flatulance that year?

Puzzled by a bizarre “jump” in the U.S. anomalies from 1999 to 2000, McIntyre discovered the data after 1999 wasn’t being fractionally adjusted to allow for the times of day that readings were taken or the locations of the monitoring stations.

McIntyre emailed his finding to NASA’s Goddard Institute, triggering the data review.

“They moved pretty fast on this,” McIntyre said. “There must have been some long faces.”

I expect Al Gore’s face won’t get any longer. He’ll either ignore the corrections, or excuse them somehow.

…one tree at a time:

The reason we sell Carbon Debits is simple – we want to take away the pathetic excuse of Carbon Credits from those liberals who hide their shame filled lives behind money-bought lunacy. Carbon Credits are simply a way for the rich (Al Gore) to continue to hypocritically live lives that look nothing like what they try to enforce on everyone else in society. We want to take away those excuses.

Our goal is to completely wipe out every Carbon Credit ever bought by selling their nullifying opposite – the Carbon Debit. The guilt and shame that caused people to buy Carbon Credits in the first place will be placed back on them as we let them know that their actions caused us to nullify their credits. They are the cause of us killing trees; they need to face up to their guilt.

This message is important for one reason – Far Left Liberals are lunatics that operate solely on shame of themselves, their success, their country, and their wealth. It is time to expose their ideas and self-defeating idiocy – and selling Carbon Debits is the best way to do that.

Shut up and act, Leo.

Humans face extinction claims star

Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio sent out a message about global warming at the Cannes Film Festival.

The heartthrob has made a film, the 11th Hour, warning that human beings face extinction as a result of the environmental crisis.

At a press conference in the South of France following the screening, The Blood Diamond actor, 32, attacked US President George Bush, saying: “It’s very simple. He’s done very little for the environmental movement.” (maybe because he’s not part of your ‘movement’, asswipe -Jonathan)

The Titanic star’s latest film, which he narrates, follows another environmental warming documentary by former US Presidential candidate Al Gore, shown at the Cannes Film Festival last year.

Your success at pretending to be people that matter does not make you a person that matters. Your opinion is no more important (or correct) than anyone else’s — you just get to abuse your fame by foisting your views on the global stage when all we really want is to see you pretend well.

Pretend, stop being pretentious.

In the 70’s, it was proposed that to fight off global COOLING, we should COVER THE POLES WITH SOOT to absorb heat from the sun.

On TV right now, in a proposal to fight global WARMING, they are suggesting we should CUT DOWN THE TREES in northern climes to reflect more of the sun’s heat.

I am awestruck at the utter fucking stupidity of the media (and the scientists on their payrolls) and the people who suck up every drop of this nonsense.

Simply awestruck.

Climate Momentum Shifting: Prominent Scientists Reverse Belief in Man-made Global Warming - Now Skeptics

Following the U.S. Senate’s vote today on a global warming measure (see today’s AP article: Senate Defeats Climate Change Measure,) it is an opportune time to examine the recent and quite remarkable momentum shift taking place in climate science. Many former believers in catastrophic man-made global warming have recently reversed themselves and are now climate skeptics. The names included below are just a sampling of the prominent scientists who have spoken out recently to oppose former Vice President Al Gore, the United Nations, and the media driven “consensus” on man-made global warming.

How much longer will we have to bear the burden of the bad science that pushed Al Gore into everyone’s field of view? When will the congressional hearings convene to expose Al and his scams as the criminal acts they are? Can I sign up for the class-action lawsuit to recoup the stolen tax dollars being spent on things like carbon offsets?
