YEP!!!

the days of trusting people face-to-face are gone,
it appears, unless you're in the black market. -- j

IMO, as they say,"follow the money". If a study comes out of any academic institution, public or private, and the study was paid for with a government grant, immediately discount it to a value of zero, or less. In particular if it incites fear and/or justifies and expansion of government/bureaucratic powers. Then it's called "propaganda"...

Ah, weren't those the days: in the 50's I rode my bike when I was 10 years old, to Smith's Drugs to pick up some cartons of cigarettes ($2/carton) and a bottle of my mother's prescribed "green medicine". No questions asked, they knew me from church.

The other day I was out of the country and needed cash deposited to my checking account (no,not $10,000). I told my son to go with $60 cash, fill out a deposit slip with my account number, go to the counter and deposit the cash. Nope: he had to physically have my ATM card and put it in the machine, to make a cash deposit. So a few things bounced...grrrr...

Sorry, not exactly on topic, mini-rant over...

Hello Minor Liberator,
:) Indeed. Delusions of grandeur and narcissism in copious quantities without a bit of common sense.. "Nutsy-cuckoo" is so much more fun to say. Why is it when I hear it images of Pelosi, Reid and the like immediately taunt my mind? :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quhoREUH...

Yeah. Al will give back the billions he's made on crony Cap green investments the day he conveniently and truthfully returns his Oscar...which actually may have been deserved in the fantasy and/or 3D animation categories (covering 90% of the "film")...but "documentary"? Puleeeeze...

That's because, to borrow a technical phrase oft used by an uncle of mine, they're always "nutsy-cuckoo"...

Maybe it should be against the law to profit from global warming??? (Al Gore)

well, I'll just drag my knuckles over to the harley,
get on and drive down to walgreen's for an Rx
and some milk. . maybe someone will think of the
50s as a result. . back when men were men and
sheep were nervous. -- j

Yes: until if was discredited with both the resurgence of theoretical free-market economics in the early'70's (the Austrians, Friedman and others) combined with it's real-world collapse in the USSR and elsewhere, to be considered an "intellectual" and not a Philistine, you had to accept some form of Socialism,or be subject to thinly disguised ad-hominem attacks vs. argument.

When the God of Socialism died, the God of Gaia or Environmentalism replaced it. If you are not with the Environmentalists, you are dismissed as a knuckle-dragging throwback. Pure bunk, but popular bunk.

Even the EPA has found that fracking is safe. However, there is scientific evidence that GMO foods are NOT safe, based on animal studies.

It's not global warming any more. It's climate change. So, no matter what happens - warming or cooling - they've got it covered.

that's a good point -- climate change is a cloak
replacing socialism / communism -- and a good one
by the way the sheeple are following ... this wizard
of "smart" and "social conscience" ... sickening! -- j

I remember reading in depth about East Anglia (ClimateGate) at the time. It had all the ingredients to make a great investigative story: a whistle-blower who was a techie (as I am) and first saw how the data was being faked in the models, also a treasure trove of emails indicating that "the truth" would hurt the "cause" and must be kept hidden. (In this sense it went beyond the UK, as it called into question Michael Mann's (in)famous "hockey-stick graph" purporting to show a recent spike in global temperatures, and he was included in the "circling the wagons" emails.)

Perfect for an MSM expose, possible Pulitzer prize. Did it go anywhere beyond a few initial reports (other than in those pesky, "academically" unacceptable "truth and junk science" sites?

Of course not...without global warming to replace discredited Socialism as the reason we need "global action" and associated world expansion of power, where would we be?

don't we all wish that were true?! . but if google
found it, we wouldn't be safe!! -- j

it's East Anglia all over again, but Here!!! -- j

I am not sure if the senator is stupid, but there's no doubt that he is convinced that the voters are stupid. And you know, come to think about it, he just may be right...

More like 2400 (it happened to Socrates in 399 BC).

In the past, I have held to the view that government should be limited to national defense and the legal system, only. I am now of the opinion that government has no legitimate business in the legal system and coming to a conclusion that it may not add much benefit to the national defense, either.

Prosecute this: NOAA caught spiking climate changer data.

Greetings ohiocrossroads,
Truth. “Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.” ― Edmund Burke. We as a people are learning to depend upon our devices instead of education. Primary education is not what it used to be. Intentional? It is much easier for government to govern/manipulate mindless sheep.

One should always be skeptical when a scientific "finding" supports a political agenda. To the "progressive" true believer it makes no difference if AGW is real or not. It is a powerful political tool because it incites fear.

It's just a sad commentary on modern society that many people haven't learned that 400 year old lesson.

Yes. If they'd only go through and stay there. Then they could screw up their reverse world to their heart's content.

Can we put "them" all through the glass...then break it...? Damn, sometimes I wish whims and dreams were real... ;-)
