Global Warming’s Last Gasp

From Newsmax.com's Phil Brennan:
In a hysterical report, "Obama left with little time to curb global warming," AP writer Seth Borenstein warned that global warming "is a ticking time bomb that President-elect Barack Obama can't avoid."

"How can this guy call himself a ‘science reporter?’” asked David Deming of the University of Oklahoma. "He is perhaps the worst propagandist in all the media, and that's stating something. In his latest screed, he screams: 'global warming is accelerating.'

“How then does he explain the fact that the mean global temperature [as measured by satellite] is the same as it was in 1980? How can global warming be 'accelerating' when the last two years have seen dramatic cooling? Is this guy totally removed from all reality? He completely ignores any evidence contrary to his personal beliefs, and twists everything to meet his preconceived notions."

And from one of their own

Richard S. Courtney, a U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) expert reviewer and a U.K.-based climate and atmospheric science consultant snorted, "Rubbish! Global warming is not 'accelerating.' Global warming has stopped. There has been no statistically significant rise in [mean global temperature or MGT] since 1995 and MGT has fallen since 1998 . . .

"Arctic ice advances and recedes over decades. 2007 saw a minimum in Arctic ice cover in the short period that it has been monitored using satellites. But 2008 saw the most rapid growth in Arctic ice cover in that same period and Arctic ice cover is now back to the average it has had in the period.

“Also, 95 percent of polar ice is in the Antarctic, and Antarctic ice is increasing. Nobody can know if the recent halt to global warming is temporary, permanent, or the start of a new warming or cooling phase. But it is certain that anybody who proclaims that 'Global warming is accelerating' is a liar, a fool, or both."

Chief Justice John Roberts to hear Obama citizenship case.

The people who believe Obama is not a US citizen have won the right to have their case heard on the DAY BEFORE the Inauguration.

From the Igstarr Blog:

Press release from Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ01/07/09

"The timing of this decision by the chief justice of the supreme court, John Roberts, is remarkable. On January 7, one day before the January 8 vote by Congress and Senate to approve or object to the electoral vote of Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoror, as President of the US....."

Fred's Fearless Forecast -2009

From Joe D'Aleo's ICECAP;

S Fred Singer Ph.D., President, Science and Environmental Policy Project  - forecasts for 2009

"Obama's three - Chu, John Holdren and Jane Luchenco. All with sterling credentials - a Nobel laureate in physics, a recent president of the AAAS, a recent head of the International Council of Scientific Unions - but with minmal knowledge of climate science, except what they may have gleaned from reading the IPCC summary."  ...

"I think that Obama is much too smart to devote political capital to doomed climate legislation. ...  Climate science isn't going to figure prominently in the congressional debates - alas; it's all about economics and politics."

Like Kevin747, talk it up before you get in, but whimp out on the practical at action time!

James Hansen - Communist or Robbing Hood?

In a letter to Obama, James Hansen proposed "a carbon tax and 100% dividend:" a mechanism for putting a price on carbon without raising money for government coffers. The idea is to tax carbon at source, then redistribute the revenue equally among taxpayers, so high carbon users are penalised while low carbon users are rewarded.

Whoppee, the man is a new Robbing Hood taking from the carbon rich and giving to the carbon poor.

Or is it a new form of communism?

Does Mr Hansen know that it would require a new bureaucracy to manage the tax. Would this bureaucracy be funded from current income? I don't think so. Not all the money would go out.

What's his degree again...does Ph.D. stand for Pipehype dreams?

Howard, Rudd, Obama, Terrorism

The Times (UK) today reports that Barack Obama should brace himself for a terrorist attack.

The Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism states "Our margin of safety is shrinking, not growing.....The United States should be...far more concerned that biologists will become terrorists."

On many occasions Mr KRudd  has tried to condemn Mr Howard for his suggestion that al-Qaeda would be praying for Barack Obama to become US President. Mr KRudd, however, did not ridicule Obama's running mate, Joe Biden, who, around the same time said: "We're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.

Obama skips church, heads to gym

Link in Title.

"Pres2be Obama has yet to attend church services since winning the White House earlier this      month, a departure from his two immediate predecessors. On the 3 Sundays since his election,    Obama has instead used his free time to get in workouts at a Chicago Gym"

Let's see, before the Election he abandoned the Jeremiah was a Bullfrog Wright's racist Black Value System Church. He continued to go there after he abandoned it in January 08 after 20 years. He then resigned from the church in June 08.

ABC News (ie US ABC) on 24/11/08 reported he had yet to decide on a new church.

Perhaps he decided on the Church of the Holy Gym.
