"Billions of us will die from global warming and the few breeding pairs of people that survive will be [living] in the Arctic where the climate remains tolerable."

(Famous Warmer, James Lovelock, author of "The Gaia Hypothesis," who is now ostensibly writing a book retracting his "alarmist statements," because of the cooler weather around the world since 1998; the moron still believes in warming, but says it's just not happening as fast! What else?)

Tired of seeing NASA and GISS propound what is at best an unproven theory and at worst (in my view) at huge hoax, fifty astronauts at NASA (including four who traveled to the moon), engineers, and scientists have sent a letter to the space agency requesting that it stop including "unproven remarks" about global warming in its news releases and on its websites.

None of these people is backed by Big Oil or the Energy Industry. When leftist kooks throw that one at you (that anyone who does not believe in Global Warming is backed by Big Oil or the Energy Industry), be sure to point out to them the many commercials made by the Energy Industry and Big Oil stating their belief in Global Warming and informing what they're doing to stop it.

I suppose the eco-maniac Warmers will claim that Lovelock has been bought out by Big Oil when they read that he has said things like this: "The problem is we don't know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books-mine included-because it looked clear-cut, but it hasn't happened."

According to Live Science, a NASA spokesman confirmed that the agency received the letter.

Select excerpts from the letter: 

  a.. "We believe the claims by NASA and GISS, that man-made carbon dioxide is having a catastrophic impact on global climate change are not substantiated." 

  b.. "The unbridled advocacy of CO2 being the major cause of climate change is unbecoming of NASA's history of making an objective assessment of all available scientific data prior to making decisions or public statements." 

  c.. "We request that NASA refrain from including unproven and unsupported remarks in its future releases and websites on this subject."

  d.. With hundreds of well-known climate scientists and tens of thousands of other scientists publicly declaring their disbelief in the catastrophic forecasts, coming particularly from the GISS leadership, it is clear that the science is NOT settled.

The Truth about Climate Science from the IPCC

Intro

Though the main culprits in Climategate have been fired and the IPCC has lost all credibility, the group carried out an investigation of itself and, you could not possibly imagine this out of a bunch of creepy Leftists, they found themselves innocent of any purposeful fraud - though the leaked emails and the IPCC's actions over the years clearly the opposite.

Sure, they shut down weather stations in the coldest areas and left the ones open that were in the warmest areas. Still, they could not get the warming figures that their models predicted. What a lot of balderdash! It's not worth mentioning these creepy frauds, but many people out there have no idea of these facts; others, goofy eco-maniac Leftists remain steadfast Warmers, though they're really Climate Changers. Most at the top of the leftist heap don't care one way or the other about the climate; they seek to destroy America as it stands today-global warming and the rules and regulations that go with it are merely tools.

He says he didn't, he doesn't and he won't. No! It's not about creating jobs but about control over gas prices.

Another Bankrupt Solar Panel Company: Evergreen Solar

Evergreen Solar was a hot item a few years ago, when investors realized the Umboogo Ad. was going to blindly dump billions of dollars into the solar industry. 

We here urged people not to invest in these type of companies, because solar is not yet a viable industry-and it will not be until someone invents a way to capture the sun's energy and transform it into usable power other than using rare trace minerals to do it. Get that through the nutty, dreaming Left's brain and you should receive the Dinky Button of the year. I've tried. It's impossible.

Leftists are so sold on the myth that natural earth fuels are evil (or mining them is robbing their god, the earth) that they simply cannot understand the fact that solar power in mass usage is decenniums away. Or either, they will not face that fact. Certainly, to think as they do they must live their lives in total denial, so their brains might simply be able to block out facts they don't like. The latter I believe with all my heart is the case.

Remember the vast social panic they instilled with the global warming hoax? Some of these "salespeople" still believe in it. What matters the Siberian -50C originated winds blowing Westward and freezing Europe as South as Rome? February belong to the frost daemons. According to the Solar system meteorology, this gets worse every decade or so, for ages. But this old-news is not the theme of today's rant. Take fracking. The eco-alarmists warned people that our taps will blow out bubbling methane gas and our kitchens will be washed in flames, beginning with the sink! Turns out to be yet another flatulence of the lets-starve-their-energy-to-control-them groups of the freaking social-engineering left.

Sink the Prices for Crude, or Freeze...

Remember that close-to-final scene in "The Day After Tomorrow" when Sam and his friends, along with some older staff, dug deep inside the New York Public Library, pander in a books burning orgy so they may prevent an instant freezing of their bodies? That movie is a milestone! If you haven't watched it yet, then do this because global warming, turned to climate change, may as well head further South into a novel Ice Age. Yes, the other film (an excellent cartoon) producers will release version 4 any time soon, but let's get serious, down to business! 

"The root causes of the transitions from Ice Age to interglacial and back again are the subtle variations in the Earth's orbit known as the Milankovitch cycles, after the Serbian scientist Milutin Milankovic who described the effect nearly 100 years ago.

About a century ago, Lenin made a great case with the advances of electrifying early Soviet Russia. In fact, history proved that the Soviet spell brought millions and millions of Russians to death, layered famine over Ukraine, eventually leading to cannibalism and other horrendous disasters, and eventually destroyed a healthy economy by brutally killing the "production forces" -- as Marxists call working people and their tools. 

Economic disasters are not emerging because of market forces. On the contrary, they are planned ahead in chunks of five years. The planned economy of the Soviet Block (which derived from the electrifying plan of Lenin's) proved criminal and inefficient. As an insider, Putin knew that, and this explains the red capitalism of the modern crude oil exporter Russia. They don't give a dime about climate change and carbon caps. Thus they are strengthening their economy, to the detriment of Europe... 

Natural resources-starved Europe must import crude from the North Sea or Libya, and natural gas from Russia. Energy is pricey in Europe as the bureaucrats transfer the cost down the food chain, to the taxpayer and individual consumer. Blue socialist measures, though milder than those of the Soviet-era, enslave free market into some sort of state-controlled economy (another historical name coming to mind is fascism). Small businesses and the middle class are the first victims while grand corporations team with the state, or the Brussels Kommissars. Within a volatile Euro-zone and an economy running 9/1 on debt, the lines between private and public property are blurred.

When you watch ads you are aware that the promo hype is missing to tell you something. Hey, it wouldn't be a "hype" if telling all the blunt reality, mundane spots included. Did you know that the Chevy Volt resembles to an old rancid oiled diesel-electric locomotive? Sure, not at the hype and shiny hood, just down to the innards where energy is converted from a crude oil derivative, take gasoline, into electricity. The CO2 emitting burning process is less efficient than the one in the conventional Chevy. Without this gas-powered generator, you won't be able to take the Volt out for a long drive!
