Huffington Post (Feb 24, 2009): Gore Should
Apologize for Spreading Climate Hysteria
Did you ever in your wildest dreams imagine
seeing an article at this liberal website that
not only refuted the anthropogenic global warming
myth, but also asked Nobel Laureate Al Gore to
apologize for the climate hysteria he's caused?
<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/harold-ambler/mr-gore-apology-accepted_b_154982.html>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/harold-ambler/mr-gore-apology-accepted_b_154982.html
For the Huffington Post to publish this piece
anywhere within its confines is remarkable. It
also shows you how incredibly bogus and
transparent the whole Al Gore Traveling Road Show
truly is. One cannot imagine a more damning
indictment of the shallow and misstated science
that Gore has used to con America and the world
than what you will find in this Huffington Post
criticism. Recent polls show that the global
climate change juggernaut has stalled and the
wheels are beginning to fall off .... When the
cap-and-trade results begins hitting the average
Joe on the street in his wallet - via higher
gasoline, heating oil and electric prices - all
Hell might break loose and the politicians who
promoted C&T just might be held accountable for
promoting one of history's greatest scams.

From Steve Milloy and Tom Borelli (February 25, 2009):
Last night President Obama renewed his commitment
to regulate carbon dioxide emissions:
"But to truly transform our economy, protect our
security, and save our planet from the ravages of
climate change... So I ask this Congress to send
me legislation that places a market-based cap on
carbon pollution and drives the production of
more renewable energy in America."
Let's keep in mind that the goal of cap-and-trade
is to reduce the use of carbon-based fuels such
as coal, natural gas and gasoline by making the
cost of driving and heating/cooling our homes
higher. Raising energy prices during a severe
recession makes as much sense as providing up
to $ 2 billion for ACORN - the community
activist group - in the so called "stimulus bill."
Obama's vision can only be made reality if
corporate America supports this initiative and
that's why we are focusing our attention on the
CEOs that are partnering with the president and
environmental activists to lobby for this regulatory scheme.
To solidify corporate support Obama nominated GE
CEO Jeff Immelt and Caterpillar CEO Jim Owens to
his economic advisory panel. Both CEOs are
members of the United States Climate Action
Partnership - a coalition of corporations and
environmental activists that are lobbying for a
federal cap-and-trade law. With Immelt, Obama
gets access to GE's NBC media network that can
promote his green agenda through its programming, news and business coverage.
Just this week part of CNBC's popular "Squawk
Box" was broadcasted from an Energy Summit
sponsored by the Center for American Progress - a
think tank run by John Podesta, former chief of
staff to President Bill Clinton. At the
conference, CNBC delivered Obama's green message
by interviewing T. Boone Pickens, Harry Reid and Bill Clinton.

We are doing our part to expose the corporate
role in advancing cap-and-trade. This is a huge
undertaking and we need all the moral and
financial support we can muster. Support the Free Enterprise Project

Australia: The Lavoisier Society has released
Thank God for Carbon, the latest booklet by Ray Evans.
See:
<http://www.lavoisier.com.au/index.php>http://www.lavoisier.com.au/index.php
This is a critical year in the battle for Carbon
Sense. All over the world the Warmists are
becoming desperate as skepticism grows and voters
are diverted to real problems like jobs and financial security.
---------------------------------------------


Also in Australia, a new political party has been
formed to represent climate sceptics. Called "The
Climate Sceptics"
<http://www.climatesceptics.com.au/>http://www.climatesceptics.com.au
the party has a nice cartoon of "Skeppy" the
sceptical kangaroo and a no-nonsense message:

"Anthropogenic or man-made Global Warming (AGW)
alarmism is the biggest con, fraud, hoax,
swindle, deception and mass hysteria in the
history of modern civilization, because climate
changes naturally. The Climate Sceptics support
all practical measures to prevent environmental
degradation. We support the development of
cleaner and more efficient sources of energy.
Unfortunately governmental taxes to stop climate
change are a colossal diversion of funds from
core obligations, and Emission Trading Schemes
(ETS) will do absolutely nothing for the
Murray-Darling basin, the Great Barrier Reef, or
land degradation - just as it will do absolutely
nothing to stop climate change. The Climate
Sceptics are here to demand rational debate and
responsible leadership. We reject the extremist
views that now threaten what Australians have
sacrificed to achieve in living standards, rights and freedoms."

Excerpt: The majority of us will experience
breathing problems at some time in our lives and
will find relief when given enhanced levels of
carbon dioxide. Present levels (380 ppm) are
only slightly recovered from the lowest level
during our evolution. Nature has evolved plants
to function best at approximately 1,500
ppm. Since plants and animals evolved together,
it’s reasonable to expect that we also evolved to
function best at some higher level. Now
scientific studies and medical practice leave no doubt that this is so.

UNDER THE BOTTOM LINE
Say what? Arctic could lose the WINTER sea ice
suggests Obama's Science Advisor John Holdren! -
Excerpt: At the 18:54 mark at the CBC "Climate
Wars" podcast
<http://podcast.cbc.ca/mp3/ideas_20090119_10989.mp3>here
[MP3], John Holdren says this:
....if you lose the summer sea ice, there are
phenomena that could lead you not so very long
thereafter to lose the winter sea ice as well.
And if you lost that sea ice year round, it's
going to mean drastic climatic change all over the hemisphere.

That Huffington post article will be absolutely devastating to the alarmists. They will not be able to write it off as right wing nonsense by saying something like "big oil" is behind it.

Too bad we have a president that is hell bent on bringing in cap and trade. It is estimated that cap and trade will cost the average consumer in the U.S. about $800/year in increased energy costs (mostly for heat and electricity in their homes), with of course lower income people being the hardest hit right at a time when they are struggling to keep their homes. Cap and trade is a dead loss to the American economy because it will transfer wealth out of the country without any return..., zero zilch nada. And to make it all worse, this money will be borrowed money that we will have to pay interest on (and saddle the next generation with). This is insanity.

The moderate Dems in congress need to stand up to Obama before we all get caught up in a train wreck caused by his idealism and naivete. The guy is loose canon.

That's EXACTLY on TARGET, Limbo.

The fact that the FAR LEFT uses FEAR as an expedient vehicle to LEGISLATE RADICAL policy is nothing new. But the current situation is really lending itself well to a huge amount of FEAR-LEGISLATION.

Rational Human Beings absolutely know that the entire Gore-Ball Warming B.S. is nothing more than a way to legislate Left-wing policy.

Cap and Trade?

You know what's HILARIOUS about that? The ones that are SO happy about their $13.00 a week have NO CLUE how MUCH they are going to PAY BACK in CAP AND TRADE. TEN TIMES what they THINK they just GOT BACK. Hell, most have NO IDEA what "CAP and TRADE" MEANS !!!!!!

Sad. Very sad. ;)

Hell, most have NO IDEA what "CAP and TRADE" MEANS !!!!!!

Or care. Ask someone on the street what cap and trade is and I'm sure you'll hear something like "man, I don't know that shit, I keep it real, yo!". Most people will learn the hard way that there is nothing more real than a $1000 energy bill.
