Triggered by Stephen Dinan’s Washington Times article “Climate Scientist to Fight Back at Skeptics,” (March 5, 2010), Dr. Williams tells how

“Climate scientists at the National Academy of Sciences say they are tired of ‘being treated like political pawns’ and need to fight back…”

How are they going to fight back? Well, of course, by forming a non-profit organization to fund a massive propaganda push! How else? Are they going to offer any evidence that their propaganda is truth? OF COURSE NOT! They are going to criticize the critics! When the science is without basis, there is no other option. They cannot present data that will support their propaganda, it’s already been proven flawed. When all else has failed, kill the messenger.

Who is behind this propaganda push? Hee-hee. For one, Paul Ehrlich. HA HA HA HA. How’s THAT for credibility? Yes, the same Paul Ehrlich who famously proclaimed that

“The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will undergo famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. Population control is the only answer.”

And…

“If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000.”

THAT Paul Ehrlich, prognosticator of prognosticators!

Anyway, Ehrlich’s latest attack on humanity, in an email obtained by the Washington Times, said

“Most of our colleagues don’t seem to grasp that we’re not in a gentlepersons’ debate, we’re in a street fight against well-funded, merciless enemies who play by entirely different rules.”

The entirely different rules in this case clearly being what our parents and grandparents used to tell us as children - Honesty is the best policy.

Ehrlich’s co-conspirator in this retaliation is his Stanford buddy Stephen Schneider. Another anti-human nutjob, Schneider is known for his statement:

“We have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we may have. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.”

Well, recalling Algore’s comment to Grist Magazine,

“I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are.”

Schneider’s balance is unquestionably skewed away from “being honest.”

Dr. Williams continues by noting that George Woodwell’s, founder of the Woods Hole Research Center, wrote, in another email obtained by the Washington Times, criticizing Penn State University for investigating Michael Mann, perpetrator of the Hockey Stick Graph hoax and one of the primary conspirators outed as a charlatan by the East Anglia Climate Research Unit documentation. Woodwell is the source of the call for

“an outlandishly aggressively partisan approach”

to getting the hoaxers’ outlandish propaganda back into the mainstream.

This is never going to go away. That should have become clear back when “scientists” shifted from absolute assertions of the imminence of a new ice age to the unquestionable catastrophe of global warming overnight - and based on the same theory! - and no one questioned their veracity. It should have been made even clearer when Mann’s hockey stick graph was shown to have come from a computer program that outputs a hockey stick graph from random data and people still flocked to Algore’s slide show. It should have been made even more clear when James Hansen’s global warming data were proven to be falsified FOR THE SECOND TIME, and no one seemed to notice. These liars are never going to go away. It is up to us to remain vigilant and point out their lunacy at every opportunity, and it is up to us to fight the politicians, like Gore and Obama, who find their propaganda to be useful in their attacks on the American people.

Dr. Williams finishes with a potential ray of sunshine in this storm of BS though, noting that one politician, Senator James Inhofe, R-OK, is considering asking the Justice Department for an investigation into taxpayer-funded data falsification by 17 named taxpayer-supported global warming conspirator “scientists.”

Senator Inhofe needs our support and encouragement in his efforts.

Dr. Williams notes that

Mounting evidence suggests that claims of manmade global warming might turn out to be the greatest hoax in mankind’s history. Immune and hostile to the evidence, President Barack Obama’s administration and most of the U.S. Congress sides with Climate Czar Carol Browner, who says, “I’m sticking with the 2,500 scientists.”

Well, once again, he hit the nail directly on the head. “Immune and hostile to the evidence.” Not only is Obama and his band of merry minions immune to the evidence, immune to the facts, immune to any sense of reality whatsoever, they are hostile to it. How DARE anyone present The Grand Tyrant with anything as trivial as facts! Facts and the data that support them only get in the way of really tyrannical dictatorship! How DARE anyone question The Grand Tyrant?

Dr. Williams concludes:

Given all the false claims and evidence pointing to scientific fraud, I don’t think it wise to continue spending billions of dollars and enacting economically crippling regulations in the name of fighting global warming.

As I noted, Walter E. Williams is a brilliant economist. He knows, and has written, that Obama is enacting crippling regulations and spending outrageously “in the name of” fighting global warming. No one could be as stupid as Obama appears to be, and still generate enough brain power to ambulate. He has a definite purpose, and that purpose is as he has laid it out in a lifetime’s writings and speeches - cripple the economy and control society.

Remember, the ONLY reason Obama has presented a “budget” with a $1.6 trillion deficit instead of a $2.2 TRILLION deficit is because he purposely hid the fact that he is relying on stealing another $646 billion from industry through the illegal imposition of a Cap-and-Trade tax to punish American industry for the sin of using electricity in their operations!

It could be no clearer. The man-made global warming farce is coming apart at the seams. Only Obama and his sycophants (and presumably Gore if he could be found) still cling to the 2,500 “scientists” myth (debunked nicely in “Consensus”? What “Consensus”? Among Climate Scientists, The Debate Is Not Over as well as on our “Quite Convenient LIE” page.) The ONLY reason to continue clinging to such utter nonsense is to exploit it in an attempt to destroy the economy and the capitalist structure which underpins it. As Dr. Williams wrote previously:

“Cap and trade” is first a massive indirect tax on the American people and hence another source of revenue for Congress. More importantly “cap and trade” is just about the most effective tool for controlling most economic activity short of openly declaring ourselves a communist nation and it’s a radical environmentalist’s dream come true.

Inhofe Family Builds Igloo ‘Gore’s New Home’

By: Jim Meyers

The family of Sen. Jim Inhofe, a vocal skeptic regarding man-made global warming, had some fun at climate change crusader Al Gore’s expense by building an igloo near the U.S. Capitol.

The Oklahoma Republican’s daughter Molly Rapert, along with her husband and four children, built the igloo over the weekend as Washington was hammered with a fierce blizzard.

The family posted a cardboard sign on the igloo’s roof reading “AL GORE’S NEW HOME” on one side and “HONK IF YOU [HEART] GLOBAL WARMING” on the other.

Sen. Inhofe, the ranking Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, told Roll Call newspaper that his family’s ironic tribute to Gore was “really humorous.”

The senator even posted several photos of the igloo on his Facebook page.

The UK Guardian released the story last Friday of emails and documents swiped from servers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit.

The most interesting note on the entire subject is that the “scientist” involved have not made the slightest effort to refute anything in the captured emails. They have just whimpered about the theft. One scientist wrote in a November 1999 email:

“I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature [the science journal] trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie, from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”

The “scientific” response?

“You can’t tell what they are talking about. Scientists say ‘trick’ not just to mean deception. They mean it as a clever way of doing something - a short cut can be a trick.”

In other words, they ignored the meat of the issue - the “hide the decline” part - and tried the distraction of playing word games with the word “trick.” Really now, would it change the meaning to say “I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature clever way of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline?” Clever way, trick, mechanism, WHATEVER - TO HIDE THE DECLINE!

Of course, Bob Ward, director of policy and communications at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics, did point out that the individuals named in the alleged emails had numerous publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals, so “It would be very surprising if after all this time, suddenly they were found out doing something as wrong as that.”

By the way, Mike is Michael Mann, who was responsible for the fraudulent Hockey Stick Graph. Why…how could anyone believe Mike could possibly have been involved in hiding declines after falsifying increases? Gasp! It really shouldn’t be very surprising to find out they were “doing something as wrong as that.”

“Scientists” then tried to minimize the impact of having shown the historical data behind their computer models to be false by claiming their evidence is manifold, and that

“At the heart of this is basic physics.”

Basic physics. Uh-huh. Basic physics, as in “neglect the influence of the sun!”

Michael Mann, now director of Pennsylvania State University’s Earth System Science Centre, who features prominently in many of the email exchanges, could only say:

“I’m not going to comment on the content of illegally obtained emails. However, I will say this: both their theft and, I believe, any reproduction of the emails that were obtained on public websites, etc, constitutes serious criminal activity. I’m hoping the perpetrators and their facilitators will be tracked down and prosecuted to the fullest extent the law allows.”

YEAH! Way to address the issue there, Mikey! “But…but…they took my candy bar. Yeah, I stole it in the first place, but they took it from me. Waaa!” Professional scientist. As an engineer myself, a sort of applied scientist, I’m ashamed of these boobs.

Then they closed, of course, by regurgitating the now comical apocalyptic claims:

“Evidence for climate change is irrefutable. …the impacts here in Britain and across the world will worsen and the economic consequences will be catastrophic.”

SO! Henny Penny is crying. Ignore the fact that she’s delusional and we have had to falsify data to support her delusions. They are some really vivid delusions! IF our falsified data weren’t falsified and her delusions were not delusional, then … WELL … you’d look pretty silly then…

The sky is falling! The polar bears are dying! We're all DOOMED!

And the official response from the Grand Tyrant? Well, Obama the Great said:

“With just two weeks until the beginning of Copenhagen, it’s also essential that all countries do what is necessary to reach a strong operational agreement that will confront the threat of climate change while serving as a stepping-stone to a legally binding treaty.”

Once again, facts do not matter to the political left. If it takes a hoax to destroy the western world and throw billions of dollars to third world dictators, the Big Lie trumps the truth every time.

How pathetic!

In addition to agreeing to pour a bottle of bleach on a tree for every five subscribers, GoAntiGreen.com has described 10 Climate-Raising Tips to help speed up global warming:

1. Only drink from plastic water bottles
2. Mock those who use public transportation
3. Use your shower to steam your clothes
4. Cut down lots of trees
5. Never turn your lights off
6. Eat a lot of meat
7. Have a crapload of kids
8. Kick a Prius
9. Put your Christmas lights up NOW (published in October)
10. Take out your insulation.

They’ve recently released tip #11 - Support the color brown. While it is less direct than their other tips, it does express a refreshing contempt for the green movement and very nicely notes how sick people are getting at the very color green!

GREAT job goantigreen.com! It’s good to have such a qualified ally in this fight!

Now, the NOAA tells us that this summer was the 39th hottest on record for the contiguous United States, but given the curious placement of their weather stations, we had better look to the satellite data instead:

Solar cycle 24 was observed to have very late last year. It took longer than usual for the start of the current 11 year cycle to actually start because the sun was basically inactive, but then things picked up … a very little bit. Well, there has been VERY little solar activity through this year, and last month, there was not one single sunspot noted! Did we miss it? Man has been recording sunspots for centuries. We’ve monitored them relatively closely since before the United States was formed. Well, one observatory has modified one data point to indicate that there might have been a slight indication of activity in one area last month, so they gave it a half-sunspot count, but others laughed that spec off. The last time a whole month passed without a single sunspot was June 1913.

Extended periods of little to no sunspot activity has corresponded to periods of global cooling. (Note that Gore and friends have shifted to blathering about global climate change since their warming hoax is looking weaker these days.) Michael Asher, of DailyTech, says

In the past 1000 years, three previous such events — the Dalton, Maunder, and Spörer Minimums, have all led to rapid cooling. One was large enough to be called a “mini ice age”. For a society dependent on agriculture, cold is more damaging than heat. The growing season shortens, yields drop, and the occurrence of crop-destroying frosts increases.

Meteorologist Anthony Watts, who runs a climate data auditing site called Watts Up With That, noted:

Many have been keeping a watchful eye on solar activity recently. The most popular thing to watch has been sunspots. While not a direct indication of solar activity, they are a proxy for the sun’s internal magnetic dynamo. There have been a number of indicators recently that it has been slowing down.

Watts notes that it is believed that  the main factor in modulating Earth’s climate is solar magnetism modulating galactic cosmic rays, and hence creating more cloud nuclei. He adds:

We’ve had indications since October 2005 that the sun’s dynamo is slowing down. It dropped significantly then, and has remained that way since. Seeing no sunpots now is another indicator of that idling dynamo.

William Livingston and Matthew Penn, of the National Solar Observatory inTucson, Arizona wrote in their paper “Sunspots May Vanish by 2015”

Our data show that there are additional changes occurring in sunspots, independent of the sunspot cycle, and these trends suggest that sunspots will disappear completely. Such an event would not be unprecedented, since during a famous episode from 1645-1715, known as the Maunder Minimum, the normal 11-year periodicity vanished and there were virtually no sunspots visible on the solar surface (Eddy 1976). Recent studies of the appearance rate and latitudinal drift of sunspots (Hathaway et al., 2004) and of the solar magnetic field (Svalgard etal, 2005) predict that the number of sunspots visible in future cycles will be significantly reduced. Finally the occurrence of prolonged periods with no sunspots is important to climate studies, since the Maunder Minimum was shown to correspond with the reduced average global temperatures on the Earth.

What does the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Gore’s co-Nobel prize winners, offer in light of the recently observed cooling and solar inactivity? Their BIG announcement was:

Eat less meat to curb global warming.

At least they seem to be taking themselves as seriously as the rest of us take them these days.

As the US election approaches, BOTH major party platforms include planks for attacking man-made global warming. Politicians on both sides of the aisle have been sucked in by Al Gorebbels’ Big Lie, Repeated ENDLESSLY. It is incumbent upon us all, we, the people, to keep the pressure on our elected officials and wannabe elected officials to convince them to pay at least some attention to actual data instead of someone’s opinion of that data.

Following the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler was thrown in jail, and the Hitler Youth was officially disbanded. It was reorganized in 1925 and given the official name Hitler Jugend. By 1928, the Jungvolk, a new department for boys aged 10 to 14, and the League of German Girls were added. The organization’s leader, Kurt Gruber, reaffirmed the Hitler Youth goal of training children to “free Germany from the shackles of Capitalists.”

In 1932, Hitler Youth campaigned for Hitler in several elections. Hitler’s goal was to achieve power democratically and then eliminate democracy. Over the next few years, the age group widened for both sexes, and the organization became more indoctrinated to Nazi ideology. By 1936, membership was made mandatory for all German youth (excluding Jews.)

Fast forward to 2008. Barack Obama is running for President of the United States. He has the delegates needed to be officially named the Democrat Party candidate for that position in August. Obama declared on July 2, 2008”

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

Obama’s website laid out the details of what he was stammering on about, the details of his “Civilian National Security Force.” What is this civilian national security force that is to rival the US military in power, strength, and funding? Well, it turns out, Obama was talking about his plan for universal community service for young people and massive federal spending on voluntary service for the rest of us. Stepping up to Hitler’s 1936 standard, Obama is calling for mandatory service for middle and high school students and “voluntary,” but indentured, servitude for college students. The Obama Youth!

In the Obama Youth, all children over the age of about 11 will be required to serve the orders of the all-powerful state, as Obama seeks to nationalize most charities. The Obama Youth will become voluntary once His indoctrinated minions reach college age; however, since the Liberal Messiah Himself decrees that they be paid an effective salary of $40 an hour tax free and since after the initial group passes through the organization all college-aged youth will have been fully indoctrinated, the program will be nearly universal while not called “mandatory.”

Mrs. Messiah, Michelle Obama, discussed the Obama Youth in a February speech to UCLA students, saying “Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to do better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.”

“Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual.”

In addition to the Obama Youth’s indentured servitude, Obama has also noted his plans to mandate that 25% of college work-study jobs be moved off-campus with the goal of forcing that to 50%. He has proposed a Classroom Corps, a Health Corps, a Clean Energy Corps, a Veterans Corps, and a Homeland Security Corps to go along with his nationalization of non-profit organizations, turning charities into government contractors.

Obama’s “just as well funded” goal will also, after considering federal government programs already violating Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution and the 9^th and 10^th Amendments, will add another $500,000,000,000 to our tax burden. Half-a-TRILLION dollars in NEW spending on this one program alone! Coupled with Mrs. Messiah’s repeated message to children “Don’t go into corporate America. You know, become teachers. Work for the community. Be social workers,” one has to wonder why he thinks children should go on to college at all, and then we’ll have to consider the additional tax burden that will be required to put all of the people he succeeds in indoctrinating through the Obama Youth program to work in public make-work jobs as well!

The Obama Youth program certainly parallels the Hitler Youth goal of “free[ing the country] from the shackles of Capitalists.” It fits right in with Obama’s Marxist platform, putting everyone to work for the all-powerful government. AND…it promises a future much like the end of the Soviet Union. A nation where everyone works for the all-powerful central tyranny, and no one is left to pay the taxes needed to keep it running.

Hitler succeeded in achieving power democratically and then eliminating democracy. Given all of the above, perhaps we should rethink what we all called just another Obama gaff. When he spoke of dealing with foreign leaders for 8 or 10 years, we may want to consider that he actually can add 4 and 4, but does not think he will have to be concerned with the two term limit or anything else dealing with our current representative republic.

“Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual.”

Remember those words. November 4^th is approaching.

Granted, $4.00/gallon is worthy of our rage, especially given the political restrictions on accessing the vast resources within our own borders, but people are being stirred into a frenzy by the press and by politicians stupid enough to tell us to just fill our tires and wait for a new scientific discovery to appear via legislation, complete with a nationwide production and distribution infrastructure and new vehicles that magically appear in our garages. Folks are actually complaining that they cannot afford to take a vacation, cannot afford to go out to eat, or even that they cannot afford to DRIVE TO WORK, for crying out loud!

Perspective:

Since Nancy Pelosi announced Democrats’ “commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices” while campaigning in 2006, gas prices have risen from $2.91 to $4.09. Quite a plan, huh? Anyway, if we use an average of 15,000 miles per vehicle and 16 miles-per-gallon, that amounts to a $1,106 annual gas price increase. (And… 16 mpg is well below the CAFÉ standard required for both cars and trucks, making that $1,106 considerably higher than it should be.)

Now consider that many of the very same people screaming bloody-murder about the high price of gasoline, calling for the nationalization of the oil industry and the theft and re-distribution of their middle-class stockholders’ income, and screaming they cannot afford to go to work, are also enthusiastically supporting the election of politicians who have expressed their dedication to raising income taxes by a weighted-average of $1,857/year (among other tax increases)!

I guess it’s not surprising they also believe those politicians when they claim that raising the oil companies’ costs will decrease the pump price???

Well, Reich-Minister Gorebbels responded by jumping on his private jet, burning about 1,100 pounds of jet fuel, emitting more CO2 to the atmosphere than a typical family of three, and taking to the airwaves himself, stepping up his lunatic rants even further, now lying that we only have 10 years left! The sky is falling even faster than he has previously lied that it was falling, and we’re all going to die if we don’t pay homage to his propaganda and stop burning as much carbon-based fuel in a year than he does in a weekend!

As Gore’s propaganda-mentor, Joseph Goebbels, said ”

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Well, Gore has noted that it will only cost us a mere $3,000,000,000,000 (three TRILLION dollars) to shield the people from the political and economic consequences of his lie. BUT…After we’ve spent more than the GDP of every nation on the planet except the US, Japan, Germany, and China, we can all sit back and say…WOW! Life really WAS so much better when we had reliable energy and cars that would go more than 100 miles on a half-day charge, and Gorebbels will have another HUGE chunk of that money sitting in his VERY GREEN bank account!

(YouTube Video) John Stossell, 20/20, Give Me a Break: Global Warming:

“the warming from the extra CO2 is, by itself, relatively weak. It has been calculated theoretically that, if there are no other changes in the climate system, a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration would cause less than 1 deg C of warming (about 1 deg. F). This is NOT a controversial statement…it is well understood by climate scientists. … BUT…everything this else in the climate system probably WON’T stay the same! For instance, clouds, water vapor, and precipitation systems can all be expected to respond to the warming tendency in some way, which could either amplify or reduce the manmade warming.”

Assuming there are no other changes in the climate system. That’s like first year physics classes, where we’re taught to ignore friction. I can design an automobile engine that gets a thousand miles per gallon with assumptions like that. Is there any question that Gore is missing his mark by at least that much?

Again, as Dr. Spencer points out, the climate system is ALL about shuffling heat from where there is more to where there is less. It’s the 2nd law of thermodynamics played out on a global basis. Heat transfers from hot to cold. The entire climate system is designed to move heat away from hot areas to cold areas.

Mount Pinatubo’s eruption is a great example of how the earth’s various systems work to achieve a state of homeostatic equilibrium. Tons of smoke, dust, and debris were blown into the atmosphere, FAR more damaging that a few parts per million of CO2 over many years. Did the planet freeze? Did it melt? Did polar bears drown? HARDLY! The earth’s systems worked together to cleanse the atmospher. To believe that everything else will remain unchanged, a belief necessary to swallow Gore’s Big Lie, is so ignorant as to approach infantile status!

Gore shows pictures of glaciers calving, GROWING so much that unsupported edges break off and fall into the sea, and LIES that they are melting. Gore shows pictures of a polar bear on a sheet of ice (a FAKE picture) and whimpers that global warming is killing polar bears. Gore refuses to acknowledge that only two of thirteen monitored polar bear populations are shrinking while the others are stable or growing, but still lies that they’re dying off. That’s like saying that mankind is dying off because Detroit is losing population! Gore has even ADMITTED that he’s lying!

“I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are.” - Al Gore, May 9, 2006 Grist Magazine.

Lord Christopher Monckton has challenged Al Gore to an international televised debate on anthropogenic Global Warming and Gore’s apocalyptic claims. Gore has refused that challenge for more than a year now. There is a $500,000 Global Warming Challenge, offering a half million dollars to the first person to prove in a scientific manner that humans are causing harmful global warming. The prize remains unclaimed. There have been numerous other challenges to Gore or anyone else able to provide scientific proof of Gore’s Big Lie. NONE of them have been met! Not a single one!

ALL the while, Gore sits back, collects his HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of dollars from the gullible dupes who have bought into his Big Lie. How convenient!

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” - Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Germany’s Reich Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.

Goebbels continued: “The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Gore has quite conveniently shielded the people AND the state from the political and economic consequences of his lie. He understands that the truth is the greatest enemy of his Big Lie and thus adds lies of “consensus” to his Big Lie in order to repress dissent.

Again, WHY in the WORLD! is this man or his propaganda permitted anywhere NEAR our children?
