Global Warming, Energy

Have you noticed (rhetorical) that those who always accuse others of lying and making things up, resort to lies and deceptions themselves to get what they want?

Behind the persistent global warming scare is the hypothesis and assertion that increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are causing Earth to warm dangerously. The thesis is espoused most prominently by Al Gore, James Hansen, modelers and other alarmists. It is the fundamental assumption behind the computer models that consistently conjure up headline-grabbing climate change disaster scenarios.

Climate Depot Factsheet on Inconvenient History of Global Warming ‘Tipping Points’

Once again, the world is being warned of a climate “tipping point.” The latest bout of stern warnings comes from the UK Met Office.

The Lib/Lab managers of the Cap-n-Tax Scheme have decided to give “permanent exemption to farmers”. What rot. All they have done is exempted emissions from farm animals, which should never have been part of the scheme anyway.

Unlike most fossil fuel company CEOs, Massey Energy’s Don Blankenship knows his global warming.

Washington, DC – Offshore energy exploration and production in the United States is safe and environmentally sound. Over the past 50 years, the U.S. oil and gas industry has developed innovative, 21st century technologies and exploration techniques that are efficient, pose little threat to the environment, and ensure worker safety.

Those who doubt coal’s economic significance should read the testimony of Mike Carey, President of the Ohio Coal Association, delivered before the EPW Committee on Oct. 29.  And those concerned about the nation’s 10.2 percent unemployment rate should do the same.  Carey cited a Penn State University study on the link between coal jobs and the broader economy.

Here’s an interesting (and very likely) prognostication:  Some time in the very near future Iran will be in possession of a nuclear weapon and Israel’s hand will be forced.  Strike preemptively or be struck.  Either way, the result will be a conflagration in the Middle East that will stop access to oil not just from Iran, but also from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

On June 5th, the Yahoo News website published an article, “Boys with ‘Warrior Gene’ More Likely to Join Gangs”, written by the anonymous “Live Science Staff”.  The article tries selling the absurd notion that there is a ‘warrior gene’ (i.e. a “specific MAOA gene, known as a ‘low activity 3-repeat allele’ “) that makes teenagers join gangs and do violence.

At today’s Senate Environment and Public Works Committee hearing on carbon control, Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) showed EPA administrator Lisa Jackson and Energy Secretary Steven Chu a chart depicting the extremely limited impact on atmospheric CO2 concentrations that would result from unilateral action on emissions by the US. The chart had been developed by the EPA for last year’s Warner-Lieberman bill.

In the latest act of media hyped pseudo-science, aka liberal/conventional science, the discovery of the crushed and flattened fossil of a lemur monkey, that while alive had a shattered left wrist, is being touted as the needed “proof” of Darwinian theory.

The Sun is a bubbling mass. Packages of gas rise and sink, lending the sun its grainy surface structure, its granulation. Dark spots appear and disappear, clouds of matter dart up - and behind the whole thing are the magnetic fields, the engines of it all.
