I'd be more prone to submit a jack-ass to be such an animal, though enabling RINO elephants both young and old haven't been much help lately.

Well, in 2009, Al Gore had not perfected the internet yet, you know. But the amazing thing is, I was hust reading an article last night where the Justice Dept is busy chasing Exxon for criminal activity in "hiding climate change", and "not releasing the truth" and Exxon has gone bonkers revving up all their material to acknowledge climate change and all the good things they are doing to "curb it". There is so much BS from all the gangsters involved here, I am only believing what I can see and measure.. So far, all I see is natural variation, and agree it does seem we are losing a bit of ice here and there. Deal with it those idiots.

Ahh..and so it goes on..."if they only had a brain"...but I bet not many ever watched that movie..

yessir, and these folks have the manners of a young
elephant in a china shop. -- j

I take back April's Fool's day as an example.
Why? I just had this thought.
On April's Fool Day, a prankster is expected to have the good manners of saying "April's Fool" after pulling something over on somebody.

It's not about the obvious. It's about something that they don't want aired in public.

Oh, ha ha, too late, and I've taken care of any more already!

and they have fooled a whole lotta folks! -- j

Thoritsu, don't be a dummy. They're talking about YOUR kids.

Actually, I was trying to hint about April Fool's Day kinda being like the climate scam.

Re your first paragraph: that is their goal. From Galt's speech, "They do not want to own your fortune, they want you to lose it; they do not want to succeed, they want you to fail; they do not want to live, they want you to die; they desire nothing, they hate existence, and they keep running, each trying not to learn that the object of his hatred is himself."

I owe, I owe, and off to turbotax I go! -- j

Whenever a distraction is needed from another scandal or screw-up on the left, out come the CCR, the Climate Change Rangers. They distract the buzz by changing the subject. I'm always flummoxed by the vast number of people who will believe something as if their life depended on it without any real evidence at all.
The sky is falling!
We're all gonna die, even Superman.
So...who cares if Mrs. Clinton is a lying, thieving, felon?

April?--uno

The UN Ha long declared capitalism unsustainable, which means it stops them from the control they seek over all. They now include other thing in the unsustainable category, claiming it is to save the environment - such things as red meat, A/C, refrigeration, living in rural areas, reproducing without their permission, private ownership of p roperty is a big target for them. All these things let us be free and able to pursue capitalism. Instead of teaching our youth how it works, they teach them to hate capitalism, when they should teach other countries how it works. It is all about power and profit for a handful of elite worldwide. Hillary and Obama have both promised the UN they would support implementation of UN Agenda 21 in the US. Years ago, Hillary as First Lady, visited communes in the northwest US, raving how that was they way to go. Move all to the city, into communes or high rises. It is obviously easier to control them. All this was promoted as a way to save the environment. If they really cared about pollution, why let China pollute, same atmosphere. It they worried about climate, why heat the ionesphere using HAARP in Alaska and Puerto Rico. Why use HAMP to practice moving hurricanes? //Because none of it is about environment, just about control of people. They play with weather control, but worry about cow gas? Really, do they honestly think we are this stupid. They are hoping.

Now, if we could get everyone else to realize this, that would cut the kakistocracy to the quick.

"I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temp[erature]s to the data series...from 1981 onwards, and to 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline."

Speaking: Phil Jones, Director, Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia, Norwich, England, UK. For "Mike" read Michael Mann, then at the University of Virginia. For "Keith" read Keith Briffa, also at CRU-UEA--Phil Jones' junior colleague.

"We cannot show a warming trend, and it is a travesty that we can't." -- Kevin Trenberth, one of Phil Jones' professional associates (not necessarily at the same institution).

Those are the two most damning quotes I personally found when a UK correspondent sent me a link that let me track down the original Climate-gate Archive. It was I who, writing as "Essex County (New Jersey) Conservative Examiner," on 19 November 2009, moved the Climate-gate story out of the blogosphere (e.g., Anthony Watts' Watts Up With That) and into the realm of semi-professional journalism. Thirty-five thousand page views and a link-back in The Wall Street Journal later, my writing had made an impact: Phil Jones had a three-egg omelet on his face and had to take a leave of absence on the strength of it.

But my biggest proof this is a scam: those who perpetrate it, don't even believe it themselves. They do not live their beliefs. Why did the delegates to the Fifteenth Conference of Parties to the Framework Agreement on Climate Change (COP-15), held in December 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark, travel there in 140 private jet aircraft, and, once arrived, rent out every chauffeured limousine then available on the entire continent of Europe? If you believe in a thing like this, do you not take pains to restrict severely the travel by the delegate to, from, and at the venue? Do you not indeed select the travel centroid of the world, which is Lod (formally Lydda) Airport outside Tel Aviv, Israel, as your venue? Indeed, why even have a physical conference? Why not virtualize it, using Skype or OpenSim, the open-source engine for Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games?

I kind of like the first one though. Too many kids from parents unsuitable for or apathetic to of raising them. This has to go hand-in-hand with any welfare.

...or people have to really be held responsible for their actions.

The climate alarmists do not even know that which they protest against. There is not, nor has there ever been (as far as I know) a government that allowed Capitalism. The system they actually are protesting against is a modern form of rule by the entitled - the kings, dukes, earls, etc. of today do not have fancy titles, but they rule in the same way. Rand referred to it as an 'Aristocracy of Pull' - a perfect descriptor in my opinion.

When all of the wealth that does exist is depleted where will the money come from to continue to supply the needs of all the people on earth? The sooner the wealth people pull in their horns and end producing the sooner the poor will attack those who seek to make them wards of the state.

You think that CO2 causes earthquakes? Or that anything bad that happens must be proof of a specific scientific theory -- which didn't predict it?

Here's how science works: You have a theory. You test the theory (in the real world, not a computer), and if the results match what you predicted, you have evidence in favor of your theory. If it doesn't, your theory is wrong. You need to correct your theory, not call people names.

The Global warming theories are far more complex than the simplistic CO2 absorbs heat -- and they are wrong, they have consistently failed to predict subsequent events.

And, yes, the climate changes. All the time.
