We Distort, Then Deride

That’s right! People against the Environment are finally striking back. We have our own cause on Facebook.
Don’t forget to become Wino’s friend, either. On facebook, he uses the alias: Don Minter
Yeah, stupid alias, but Wino doesn’t have much of an imagination.
We really need to push Govt. to hold off on all of the Warming Panic legislation. Here is another article explaining global climate changes.
But since 1999 new evidence has seriously weakened the case that carbon emissions are the main cause of global warming, and by 2007 the evidence was pretty conclusive that carbon played only a minor role and was not the main cause of the recent global warming. As Lord Keynes famously said, “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?”
With the economy being so iffy, we can’t afford to make one hell of a big mistake. We have actually cooled 0.6 C° since 2001.
This article does it so much better than I could, but I’ll lift a few quotes just to whet your appetite:
PSYCHIATRISTS have detected the first case of “climate change delusion”
…
“The patient had also developed the belief that, due to climate change, his own water consumption could lead within days to the deaths of millions of people through exhaustion of water supplies.”
…
What’s scarier is that people in charge of our Government seem to suffer from this “climate change delusion”, too.
Unfortuneately, the writer is from Australia, but I think that his comments pertain to certain un-named ex-vice presidents who shall remain nameless, but who star in “documentaries” with fake footage and alarmist predictions, none of which have come true.
But I digress. Read the above link. I think you’ll enjoy it.
This article did not even make the chronicle, but this is a perfect example of why we import so much of our oil.
Plains Exploration & Production Co. has signed an agreement with three California environmental groups to eventually halt oil production in a California field.
The Environmental Defense Center, Get Oil Out! and Citizens Planning Association of Santa Barbara groups initially opposed Plains’ proposal to expand into the Tranquillon Ridge Oil and Gas Field off Lompoc, Calif., saying it would result in oil spills, air and water pollution and hazardous gas releases.
“The cornerstone of this agreement is the requirement that oil and gas development in both the Tranquillon Ridge and Pt. Pedernales Fields will cease on Dec. 31, 2022,” said Linda Krop, chief counsel of the EDC, who represented GOO! and CPA in the negotiations. “Never before has an oil company agreed to a date certain end of production, making this a one-of-a-kind agreement.”
Plains Exploration (NYSE: PXP) has also agreed to pay $1.5 million to a local fund to be used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and to give about 3,900 acres to The Trust for Public Land for public protection.
Granted it is a 14 year window for the company to continue to produce on existing wells but this sets a very dangerous standard. These liberal enviro-nuts now have won a fight with an oil company, and have proven that they can shut down oil production in California, but also can get the company to turn over lands to be “protected”. And people wonder why we have 100+ dollar oil and import over 50% of our oil. It is because of the NIMBY mind set of the people on both coasts.
I say let them produce their own fuel, and see how they like moving around in horse and buggys.
NY Times Finally Figures It Out
The leaders of poor countries are telling us that their people are starving due to increased food prices. Those who disagree state that much of the cause is a drought and less wheat from Australia.
From Today’s NY Times article referenced above:
But now a reaction is building against policies in the United States and Europe to promote ethanol and similar fuels, with political leaders from poor countries contending that these fuels are driving up food prices and starving poor people. Biofuels are fast becoming a new flash point in global diplomacy, putting pressure on Western politicians to reconsider their policies, even as they argue that biofuels are only one factor in the seemingly inexorable rise in food prices.
Of course, if you were reading FauxNEWS last July 14, you would have known this was going to happen, anyway.
From the July 2007 article:
The grain was now being used for a beverage that everyone wanted, and yet, food was also somewhat important. A bad harvest occured, and many people starved, even though gin (jenever, juniper) production continued.
But wait! There’s more! Keep reading from the same article.
Now, flash forward to today. We have a grain product that is used for food, cooking, and feeding to stock to produce meat. Environmentalists have now forced the government to convert this food grain into a liquid that does not provide sustenance, and that provides less energy content than the other hydrocarbon fuel now in use.
Food prices are increasing, as are all other prices, since everyone must buy food. Fuel prices, rather than going down, are going up, indirectly due to increased production costs due to this new “biofuel” that we are being forced to accept.
How long will it be until people begin to turn to crime or abandon their children, in part due to the increased costs of this ill-conceived, feel-good policy?
Using food sources for other than food has never worked out in man’s favor. I doubt biofuels becomes the one exception to this rule.
Yep. You can read FauxNEWS, or wait 9 months for the NY Times to publish it.

As other staples soar, potatoes break new ground
And
I threatened to throw some numbers together a while back to debunk global warming. Well, this astute feller did the heavy lifting for us and I don’t have to now. I might throw in my two cents anyway.
Read this:
Will the Ice Caps Melt?
Pretty telling. Algore is in a position now where he can never acknowledge that he was wrong, and was hoodwinked by pseudo science. Thank God he isn’t president. He actually believes his crap.
Well this does not come as any big surprise to me. But apparently there are some people who do not realize that Texas is big. Both size, second only to Alaska and population second only to California. This Fox News story about Texas having the 7th largest carbon foot print in the WORLD….
Everything’s big in Texas _ big pickup trucks, big SUVs and the state’s big carbon footprint, too.
Texans’ fondness for large, manly vehicles has helped make the Lone Star State the biggest carbon polluter in the nation.
The headquarters state of America’s oil industry spewed 670 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in 2003, enough that Texas would rank seventh in the world if it were its own country, according to the most recent figures from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The amount is more than that of California and Pennsylvania _ the second- and third-ranking states _ combined.

Whatever warming trend was going on has flattened out in the last seven years. Which is an odd thing, because China and India have been pumping out more CO2 from cars and industry. A bunch of ugly facts are nailing the biggest scare story in history.
Hat tip to American Thinker.
As I have said the Global Warming Scare is predicting events that are part of a natural cycle. By the way, due to Global Warming the sun is going to set tonight and rise in the morning. Now if this happens you will know that Global Warming is true.The below article illustrates that the rise and fall of global temperatures and sea levels (due to melting ice) is a natural cycle.

You have to remember that there were no SUVs back at the last run of this natural cycle. Although cow farts have also been blamed for global warming. My theory is that Dinosaur farts must be much more powerful than cow farts and that they actually work in just the opposite way. Dinosaur farts caused Global Cooling (which we all know causes Global Warming). So if scienctists will concentrate on cloning dinosaurs we could cancel out the SUV effect and everybody will live happily ever after. (Except of course those that become Dino prey and dino toe jam.) A small price to pay to satisfy Emperor Gore.
Apparently the sky isn’t falling. I don’t have time to edit it, so I’m copying it in full below. Please note the terms: “peer-reviewed” and “Climate Researcher” and “PhD” among the skeptics’ points. Also be sure to note how lavish the resort accommodations are, for the government “workers.” I guess we know who the new nobility is: The United Nations and other Politicians

Skeptical Scientists Urge World To ‘Have the Courage to Do Nothing’ At UN Conference
BALI, Indonesia - An international team of scientists skeptical of man-made climate fears promoted by the UN and former Vice President Al Gore, descended on Bali this week to urge the world to “have the courage to do nothing” in response to UN demands.
Lord Christopher Monckton, a UK climate researcher, had a blunt message for UN climate conference participants on Monday.
“Climate change is a non-problem. The right answer to a non problem is to have the courage to do nothing,” Monckton told participants.

This article on Fox News.com is just one more reason that I simply laugh at the eco-friendly crowd. I mean here are a bunch of people who stand on the mountain top and scream about environmental concerns but at the same time are some of the biggest hypocrites in the world. The article shows just how out of touch these people are and if you look at who is on the list you can see that every one is a liberal or “moderate” which just goes to prove that conservatives are the only honest ones when it comes to the environment
Here are green hypocrisy’s top 10 poster children for 2007.
1. Al Gore’s Inconvenient Lifestyle.
2. Google’s Sky Pig.
3. RFK Jr. Tilts at Windmills.
4. The U.N.’s ‘Bali High’.
5. Nancy Nukes Nukes.
6. Every home a Superfund site?
7. Doesn’t everyone own a NASA scientist?
8. Like a Virgin’s Carbon Footprint..
9. The NBC Poppycock.
10. California’s Hypocritenator.
The one thing these honorees all have in common is that their real-life actions belie their carefully crafted green public images. If they don’t take their commitment seriously, why should you?
Here are some other links proving that they are simply liars frauds and fools, and need to be exposed as such.
I can’t say I’m appalled by what they’re doing. In fact, I applaud the moonbats who have decided not to have children.
Some quotes from the article that are really telling. Of course, I will follow this up with a bit of personal commentary, as well. I think it’s genetic on my part, to point out the absolute stupidity of idiots.
Because when Toni terminated her pregnancy, she did so in the firm belief she was helping to save the planet.
Incredibly, so determined was she that the terrible “mistake” of pregnancy should never happen again, that she begged the doctor who performed the abortion to sterilise her at the same time.
…
At the age of 27 this young woman at the height of her reproductive years was sterilised to “protect the planet”.
…
Toni relishes her decision with an almost religious zeal.“Having children is selfish. It’s all about maintaining your genetic line at the expense of the planet,” says Toni, 35.
“Every person who is born uses more food, more water, more land, more fossil fuels, more trees and produces more rubbish, more pollution, more greenhouse gases, and adds to the problem of over-population.”
…
You know… I don’t think I can even peruse the article any more. There is just too much lunacy there. You’ll have to read it for yourself to really see what I mean. “Religious zeal?” You know it. Her “god” is Gaia, and she worships as blindly as those who murder others while killing themselves with strap-on semtex garments in the name of “Allah.”
Just a few points… Why must a new life add to the “carbon footprint?”
I happen to work with a lot of power conversion equipment. If we balance my life’s work with pollution-eliminating equipment, I’d say I’d probably come out on the “less carbon” side of the equation. In other words, I’ve commissioned and calibrated enough pollution-reducing equipment, that I’ve more than overcome any negative impact my consumerism might have caused.
I won’t even go into the cerebral gymnastics necessary to determine that aborting a child is a good thing for the planet. I will say, however, that the Darwin Principle of this nut case eliminating her genes from the gene pool is definitely a good thing for the human race in general.
All in all, these nuts just make me shake my head in wonder. I think that if they’d take a little course in logic, they’d see how absolutely groundless their conclusions really are.
Read the whole article. And thank the subjects for helping improve the planet for our kids, by making sure there are fewer idiots to contend with.
Of course the blizzard I refer to is the snow job that he is blanketing the entire country with on the subject of Global Warming. Another truth talker is being looked at sideways in the attached article.: Right click here and “open in new window” to see the article.
The shifting of the Arctic glaciers and the reduction of the ice caps is a natural cycle that is on that side of the cycle.
Don’t get me wrong, I think that the combination of man’s contribution to the CO2 levels while the natural scrubbers, the earth’s forests are being so dramatically reduced is going to add to the natural cycle. Man’s contribution is nowhere near the extent that the scare mongers led by anti-science politicals are espousing. They blamed Katrina’s size on Global warming and then predicted an unprecedented increase in storms the next year which was just the opposite of what happened, which they also attributed to Global Warming.
I am sure that they are also trying to politicize and point blame for the impending massive meteor strike and the shifting of the Earth’s axis (which is also a natural cycle occurence that is overdue). Coming to a theater near you, (as soon as Mikel Moore and the Gorebot find a way to politicize it).
Enjoy Life, (within reason).
I’ve decided I’m going to join the leftists, and do everything they want me to do…
I won’t eat meat, because human lives are no more important than animal lives.
I won’t wear leather, because animals shouldn’t be killed for their skin.
I won’t use fossil fuels, because oil spills are so devestating to the environment.
I won’t allow nuclear reactors, because they cause mutations.
I won’t use plastics, because they’re made from fossil fuels.
I won’t use wood, because we shouldn’t log.
I won’t burn wood, because it pollutes.
I won’t burn coal, because it causes global warming.
I won’t use toilets, because fresh water is so precious, and it’s running out.
I won’t eat fish, because fishing kills dolphins.
I won’t smoke tobacco products, because second-hand smoke kills.
I won’t pray, because it might offend someone of a different faith.
I won’t eat non-organic food, because pesticide runoff kills fish.
I won’t use cosmetics, deodorants, or medical products because animal testing is evil.
I won’t fish, because the lead weights can leech into the water.
I won’t support the military, because we shouldn’t have wars.
I won’t support families, because what consenting adults do is none of my business.
I have probably left out more things I shouldn’t do, so I may have to edit this post.
In the 17th century, Holland developed a new method for making intoxicating spirits. It consisted of using the distilling process that had been known for centuries in the distillation of essences for perfumes, but now, with an improved cooling system, the Dutch were able to distill alcohol from grain instead of from fruit, as had been the wont of wine makers and other publicans for centuries.
This ushered in a new era of drunkeness. The Dutch were able to use cheap grains, such as barley, and infuse the concentrated, distilled alcohol with fruits, such as juniper berries, to make a palateable, and cheap drink. “Cheap” being the key word, many of the lower class were now able to imbibe with abandon.
It was also an environmentally friendly process: The grain was grown and harvested, using the high-carbohydrate seeds to produce the mash for its distillation. After drying, the seeds were heated with water, and yeasts were introduced. The mixture was allowed to settle, and part was removed, the portion or layer containing the alcohol. This was then infused with juniper berries to give it flavor. Juniper was long known to increase appetite, aid in the prevention of headaches, and other medicinal values.
Therefore, we now have an intoxicating beverage that has known medical benefits. The new beverage was dubbed, among other things, “eau de vie” or “water of life.”
The remains of the distilling process were fed to the oxen that were used to plow the fields and harvest the grains. A byproduct of the oxen was a substance derived from these remains, and used as fertilizer for the fields, to produce more grain.
The poor were able to purchase this drink, but it gave them a less employable aspect, causing many to turn to nefarious means to get money for their habit. Women were known to prostitute themselves for it, allowing children to starve, while men turned to crime as well to procure the liquid.
When William of Orange ascended the English throne as William III, he banned imports from France, making “jenever” (juniper), the drink of choice among those of low station. The Parliament immediately tried to maximize the government’s income from the product, and to control its production for their own benefit. This worked as well as prohibition, and the controls were soon lifted. Government income, though, remained high and growing.
Well, all good things must come to an end. The grain was now being used for a beverage that everyone wanted, and yet, food was also somewhat important. A bad harvest occured, and many people starved, even though gin (jenever, juniper) production continued.
The King forced a cessation of distillation, and folks were able to eat again, and gin’s popularity declined. We have many words from that time, still in use: gin mill means a low-class distillery or bar; gin soaked means someone who drinks to excess.
Now, flash forward to today. We have a grain product that is used for food, cooking, and feeding to stock to produce meat. Environmentalists have now forced the government to convert this food grain into a liquid that does not provide sustenance, and that provides less energy content than the other hydrocarbon fuel now in use.
Food prices are increasing, as are all other prices, since everyone must buy food. Fuel prices, rather than going down, are going up, indirectly due to increased production costs due to this new “biofuel” that we are being forced to accept.
How long will it be until people begin to turn to crime or abandon their children, in part due to the increased costs of this ill-conceived, feel-good policy?
Using food sources for other than food has never worked out in man’s favor. I doubt biofuels becomes the one exception to this rule.
