Obama about to go crazy over CO2
Let this be said upfront and blatantly: Carbon dioxide is not not not a “dangerous pollutant.” It is what plants from trees to grass and everything in between need to survive, and in fact, plants give us back what we need to survive after absorbing it: oxygen!
But don’t let basic scientific facts get in the way of a good scare-em-into-taxation policy! The EPA this week, under direction from the Obama Administration, is set to formally declare carbon dioxide… what we breathe out… a “dangerous pollutant.” This EPA finding would give the Fed almost unchecked powers to regulate corporate emissions and tax violators, effectively enacting the cap-and-trade concept without a vote ever being taken.
This is blatant abuse of Federal authority, not to mention bad and faulty science.
Here’s the skinny on CO2, extracted from Wikipedia:
CO2 is a trace gas being only 0.038% of the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is used by plants during photosynthesis to make sugars, which may either be consumed in respiration or used as the raw material to produce other organic compounds needed for plant growth and development… As of March 2009, carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere is at a concentration of 387 ppm by volume… Five hundred million years ago carbon dioxide was 20 times more prevalent than today, decreasing to 4-5 times during the Jurassic period and then slowly declining with a particularly swift reduction occurring 49 million years ago… There is about fifty times as much carbon dissolved in the oceans in the form of CO2 and carbonic acid, bicarbonate and carbonate ions as exists in the atmosphere.
It’s a trace gas and was 20 times more prevalent in the past as compared to now.
It seems the Obama Administration, however, has taken some intellectual weight loss Austin-style and just fallen for anything that falls out of Al Gore’s mouth without question or discernment.
Someone should declare Al Gore’s utterances a “dangerous pollutant.”
More “global warming” data scandals!
The latest scandal to emerge in the great global warming hoax comes to us from the University of East Anglia, where climate scientists have now admitted that much of the original data upon which they have based their claims of global warming were unceremoniously dumped, recycled or otherwise trashed… way back in the 1980s!
London’s Times Online writes fearlessly about this scandal, which draws into question yet other chunk of research that cannot be verified when used to support the ever-more-shaky global warming hypothesis upon which the cap-and-trade swindle is being based.
Whether blaming the internal combustion engine or spa filters, it seems no matter how many “green weeks” NBC, The CW and other networks have each year, Algore and his zittoheads are being proven fools and flim-flam artists extraordinaire more and more as time marches on… need I mention this was one of the colder summers on record in decades?
3,000 record lows set in July!
AccuWeather.com is reporting that in July, over 3,000 new record low temperatures were set in July; this, despite the growing frenzy to “deal with climate change” in an Algore/Barry Obama nation.
This news comes from Jesse Ferrell’s blog at AccuWeather, and the information flies in the face of global warming claims. And that’s only in the US, by the way. Ferrell’s a careful, scientific guy who wasn’t necessarily looking for the added attention that comes with disputing Algore’s fevered fantasies of a falling sky.
At least someone knows how to respond to Chicken Little with real scientific data! Stuff like this offers real colon cleanse reviews for all the … manure? … Algore is shoveling with his Oscar-winning PowerPoint presentation.
Emails… I get emails…
Whether true dupes or faked propaganda, I get emails and comments from a variety of zittohead brainwashees on the topic of global warming. Most are convinced by emotional (but faked) photos of polar bears on ice floes. They couldn’t be more misinformed.
Yet there are reliable sources out there. I mention them whenever I feel frustrated by some idiotic story by an idiotic journalist participating in these liberal-socialist scare tactics, who would rather yell that the sky is falling than harvest their Blackberry plants.
They’ve been misled and misinformed by Algore’s misleading propaganda. For a more rational look at global climate change, read “Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1500 Years,” by Dr. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery, as well as “Climate of Extremes: Global Warming Science They Don’t Want You to Know” By Patrick J. Michaels and Robert C. Balling, Jr. If you prefer video over reading, try The Great Global Warming Swindle from the BBC.
From a scientific perspective, all this material is far more solid than emotion-based faked photos of polar bears on ice.
Huge global warming rally could be snow-bound!
NASA climate scientist Dr. James Hansen has called for civil disobedience and other forms of protest on Monday, March 2, to bring attention to his pet cause of global warming, and how neat it is to be an Algore zittohead with no mind of his own. But the best part of this illegal call by a Federal employee for civil disobedience is the forecast for DC tomorrow: snow, snow and more snow!
Current forecasts project more than 12 inches of snow to hit the entire east coast, including DC, by and throughout Monday. That would be just the latest in yet another example of idiot zittoheads calling for global warming demonstrations in the middle of wildly contradictory weather. It would be fun to watch nature contradict these zittoheads from the comfort of some home theatre seating tomorrow!
AP’s Borenstein drunk on zittohead Kool-Aid
The sky is falling, according to the Associated Press and their writer, Seth Borenstein.
Borenstein is only the latest to pen a panicked story about global warming and file it under “news” rather than “opinion.” The radical Marxist left is certainly feeling their oats after the Obama victory, but now they are pressing ahead to make sure Obama does what they voted him in to do: destroy American society for the sake of Mother Nature.
Fortunately, in an exclusive fictional interview, Mother Nature told WonderfulPessimist.com, “Global warming? I’m feeling a bit of a chill, if my opinion counts for anything. I’ll be fine, though; I have a nice mug of herbal tea and honey. Don’t panic, dearies. I have a tankless water heater now and Mama’s just fine.”
Shortly after that fictional interview, a far-left hit-squad of zittoheads took Mother Nature out with a deadly spiked tea. Algore personally claimed full responsibility and reminded everyone he invented the Internet, in a hastily-released press release.
International global warming court?
A British judge, Stephen Hockman, is leading a liberal drive to establish an international court to enforce environmental agreements between nations and “punish” nations who fail to comply with such agreements, according to the Telegraph UK Web site.
“The time is now ripe to set this up and get it going,” he said. “Its remit will be overall climate change and the need for better regulation of carbon emissions but at the same time the implementation and enforcement of international environmental agreements and instruments.”
Of course, part of “the time is now ripe” has to be translated thus: Barack Obama is the incoming US president and we have to get this passed while he holds the office. Get ready to get reamed, America. You voted for it, you’re gonna get it, kind of like the shocking price of renewal on term life insurance rates following the initial term.
It’s an Algore/zittohead wet dream.
Schwarzenegger embraces green politics
“Acting” California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has become everything the Democrats could hope for; the latest example is a recent blast against President Bush for not embracing Algore’s global warming mythology. He did everything to embrace the green movement but wear organic equestrian clothing.
“This administration did not believe in global warming,” Schwarzenegger told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos in an exclusive interview that will air Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”
Exactly, Arnold. That’s because, contrary to Gore’s propeganda campaign, there is no concensus on global warming, and there are now more climate scientists, meteorologists and other scientific types signed up opposing global warming as a valid scientific conclusion as Gore claimed there was who signed on to it.
And here’s the dirty little secret of Gore’s propeganda lies: a goodly number of scientists who he claimed with on board with a “concensus on global warming,” have changed their stripes and are now part of the “no, it’s not a concensus” movement.
Hint for future reference: the way to tell if Algore, and zittohead governors like Arnold, are lying is simple… if their lips are moving, you can bank on the dishonesty spewing forth.
CO2 is not a pollutant
One of the most ridiculous claims made by Algore and his mind-numbed zittoheads is that CO2 (carbon dioxide) is a pollutant and a major source of global warming. A little market research would tell even a rather simple-minded child this assertion is false on its face. To quote Wikipedia on the subject:
Carbon dioxide is produced by all animals, plants, fungi and microorganisms during respiration and is used by plants during photosynthesis. This is to make sugars which may either be consumed again in respiration or used as the raw material for plant growth. It is, therefore, a major component of the carbon cycle.
All living organisms produce CO2 simply by exhaling. But what is waste-gas to us is food for plant life! Without CO2, plant life would perish, which includes all major food sources for organic life. This is the work of a pollutant? I think not.
CO2, it is true, can be deadly to humans in too high a concentration over a prolonged period, but it is not a pollutant. The simple fact is that each year, volcanic eruptions distribute more alleged ozone-depleting chemicals into the atmosphere than has any human activity from the time of the industrial revolution to present. To say human activity and human-caused CO2 production is the cause of global warming is naive, underinformed and outright false.
Truth is, CO2 is found most heavily in the Earth’s oceans, and through the evaporation cycle, the world’s oceans themselves pump more CO2 into the atmosphere than volcanoes, industry and cow farts combined.
Are we clear, yet?
Evidence against global warming mounts
Just as we emerge from one of the longer and colder winters in recent memory, and evidence against Al Gore’s global warming Chicken Little-ism continues to build, it appears the Bush Administration may be buckling to the pressure, just as the pressure valve is set to release.
Wearing roller shades of his eyes, if Bush enacts a global warming agenda, it would mark a severe course correction; he was the one who reversed course from the Clinton-Gore Administration, who commited the US to the Kyoto Accords just prior to leaving office, and when Bush took over, he pulled the US out of the ecomony-destroying climate treaty.
Contrary evidence is piling up every day. Vast evidence now supports the idea that global temps peaked around 1998, have held steady since, and actually dropped about a full degree this past year, meaning that the full century’s worth of creep Gore tried to claim was destroying the plant was wiped out by one cold winter.
Sunspot activity is deemed the most likely cause of global temperature changes by most traditional scientists, including the Dr. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery, who wrote “Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1500 Years,” and not as a result of human activity, as Algore and his zittoheads allege.
Minnesota and the upper midwest have been hit my mid-April blizzards and freezing temps, with gardening and crop-growing season starting later than it has in many years. Of course, for the zittoheads out there, there is no such thing as contrary evidence… even the coldest year on record in decades is “further proof of global warming” to those mind-numbed robots.
Global climate drops!
All the Algore zittoheads and Chicken Littles out there concerned about how CO2 emissions (it’s called breathing, folks, and it makes plants grow) are causing global climate increases can finally breath easy; according to actual climate scientists, this winter has been so cold that global temperatures have dropped by one full degree, wiping out the alleged progess of over 100 years of so-called “global warming.” Winter Park real estate has the climate it should once again!
So, let’s drop the carbon credits scam, the tax hikes and bring back the old refrigerant in our AC units that actually works; we’re back to square one, people! Take your bow, Algore; gloat away, you zittoheads. Somehow, you did it and “unstoppable” global warming has been pushed back 100 years in the mere 12 months since Algore won an Oscar.
Take the credit; just stop taking away our money in confiscatory taxes for fictional reasons. Deal? Deal!
