UK Guardian Inadvertently Highlights That The “Climate Change” Movement Is All About Big Government

By William Teach September 22, 2013 – 8:25 am

The UK Guardian has recently spent quite a bit of time exposing the ever growing power of government interference in the lives of people via the National Security Agency and their ever-present spying. Now they have a big article on the upcoming UN IPCC AR5 “climate change” report, and let the cat out of the bag as to the purpose, in between the typical Alarmism Of Doom

Climate change: IPCC issues stark warning over global warming

(WT-Everyone should enjoy this photo of what the Guardian terms a thermal power plant with its massive amount of evil carbon pollution….what? A thermal power-plant turns water into steam, and that’s all steam, ie, water vapor? Hmph.)

Scientists will this week issue their starkest warning yet about the mounting dangers of global warming. In a report to be handed to political leaders in Stockholm on Monday, they will say that the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation have now led to a warming of the entire globe, including land surfaces, oceans and the atmosphere.

Extreme weather events, including heatwaves and storms, have increased in many regions while ice sheets are dwindling at an alarming rate. In addition, sea levels are rising while the oceans are being acidified – a development that could see the planet’s coral reefs disappearing before the end of the century.

Writing in the Observer ahead of the report’s release, the economist and climate change expert Lord Stern calls on governments to end their dithering about fossil fuels and start working to create a global low-carbon economy to curtail global warming. Governments, he states, must decide what “kind of world we want to present to our children and grandchildren”.

And there you have it, the whole point. How many times have I and other climate realist bloggers written about this whole movement being a Fascistic/Statist (ie, Progressive) power grab, putting government in control of people, private entities, and economies? Science plays little to no part. If it did, Warmists might practice what they preach, but do you see them giving up their own fossil fueled lifestyles? This year’s COP19 is in Warsaw, Poland. How many fossil fueled flights and vehicle trips will be taken (granted, much better than in ends of the earth Durban, South Africa). Then there are all the meetings in between. Perhaps if Warmists, especially the “leaders”, would walk the talk, they might be credible. But they don’t even seem to believe their own yammering.

Good Grief: Warmist Add People To Climate Change Map

By William Teach September 21, 2013 – 4:57 pm

This unhinged Warmist story brings to the forefront one of things I hate about Warmists

(CSMonitor) A new map adds a new variable to assessments of the regional impact of climate change: people.

In making the new map, published this week in the scientific journal Nature Climate Change, a team of scientists have factored humans’ modifications to their environment into a new calculation of the relative threats that climate change poses to the world’s different regions.

These alterations to the world’s landscapes – seen in burgeoning cities, industrial centers, and farmland – have already weakened certain regional ecosystems, putting them at a disadvantage as manmade changes to the global climate begin to tax the planet. In plotting which of the world’s ecosystems have already been pummeled with human development, the team says the map could help conservationists make difficult calls about where to funnel finite resources.

Let’s be real for a moment: Mankind does change the real environment, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Sometimes really bad. The ecosystems are something we should be concerned with (funny how Liberals love them some Big Cities, which aren’t exactly environmentally friendly, eh? There are certainly real environmental issues to be concerned with, yet these morons take the mostly fake issue of anthropogenic global warming, ie “climate change”, and overshadow those real environmental issues. I’m not concerned with the fate of, say, the Everglades because of “climate change”, but due to pollutants like pesticides, habitat destruction, destruction of wildlife. Warmists really do not care about the environment, they care about instituting far left Progressive policies.

Oh, and what do these morons want Mankind to do, demolish all our works and live like it’s 10,000 B.C.?

“Climate Scientists” Told To Cover Up Reality Of No Warming Over Past 15+ Years

By William Teach September 21, 2013 – 9:44 am

UN IPCC head Rajendra K Pachauri, who is not a climate scientist, recently admitted

“We are an intergovernmental body and we do what the governments of the world want us to do. If the governments decide we should do things differently and come up with a vastly different set of products we would be at their beck and call.”

The UK Daily Mail reports

Scientists working on the most authoritative study on climate change were urged to cover up the fact that the world’s temperature hasn’t risen for the last 15 years, it is claimed.

A leaked copy of a United Nations report, compiled by hundreds of scientists, shows politicians in Belgium, Germany, Hungary and the United States raised concerns about the final draft.

Published next week, it is expected to address the fact that 1998 was the hottest year on record and world temperatures have not yet exceeded it, which scientists have so far struggled to explain.

But leaked documents seen by the Associated Press, yesterday revealed deep concerns among politicians about a lack of global warming over the past few years.

Germany called for the references to the slowdown in warming to be deleted, saying looking at a time span of just 10 or 15 years was ‘misleading’ and they should focus on decades or centuries.

Hungary worried the report would provide ammunition for deniers of man-made climate change.

Belgium objected to using 1998 as a starting year for statistics, as it was exceptionally warm and makes the graph look flat – and suggested using 1999 or 2000 instead to give a more upward-pointing curve.

The United States delegation even weighed in, urging the authors of the report to explain away the lack of warming using the ‘leading hypothesis’ among scientists that the lower warming is down to more heat being absorbed by the ocean – which has got hotter.

How many times have I and other climate realist bloggers noted that this whole thing is about politics, not science? This is just more substantiation of that fact.

But, fine, they don’t want to use 1998? How about 1990? The UN IPCC prognosticated that warming would be .5F between 1990 and 2012. The reality? 0.28F. Phil Jones admitted that there was no “statistically significant” warming since 1995. And let’s not forget that this whole hysteria was based on a warming trend of 12 years. Since the 1850’s the Earth has warmed around 1.4F.

Let’s be clear: climate realists do not argue against the notion that the Earth has warmed. It has. We debate the causation. Warmists say it is mostly/solely the actions of mankind. Realists say it is mostly/solely (I come down on the mostly side) nature. You don’t see our side hiding data, changing data, coming up with wild excuses, etc.

Obama: GOP “Trying To Mess With Me”

By William Teach September 21, 2013 – 9:17 am

Everything’s always about him. It matters little to the guy who’s supposed to be President of the USA that Obamacare is underwater in every single poll taken going all the way back to before this “train wreck” of a bill was passed via bribery and parliamentary tricks. Nope, he cares more about himself, and he forgets to note that he and his family will never have to live under the conditions his signature law created/creates

(CBS News) He called on Congress to quickly pass a funding bill that would avert a government shutdown beginning the start of the new fiscal year October 1st, and to also enact an increase in the debt ceiling, so the U.S. Treasury can resume borrowing to pay its obligations.

“They’re willing to plunge America into default, if we can’t defund Obamacare,” said the president.

“They’re not focused on you,” the president told about 2,000 Ford autoworkers gathered on the floor of the stamping plant. “They’re focused on politics. They’re focused on trying to mess with me.”

“This is not a banana republic,” the president said of the possibility the U.S. might have to default. “We don’t run out on our tab. We just can’t not pay our bills.”

How do you pay a $16 trillion tab? One of the definitions of “banana republic” discusses being run by a dictator and dependent on foreign capital to survive. The US government borrows 43 cents on every dollar it spends. Obama acts like dictator-lite. We have, depending on the source, $75-180 trillion in unfunded liabilities. But, hey, Obama’s not concerned with all that. Don’t mess with big bad tough Obama.

Meanwhile, he called House Speaker John Boehner up for a brief whiny call to rule out any negotiations. Tough guy O will negotiate with Putin, Assad, Iran, the Taliban, but not the GOP.

Surprise: “Green” Energy Causing German Energy Rates To Skyrocket

By William Teach September 20, 2013 – 1:03 pm

How’d this make it through the censors at the NY Times?

It is an audacious undertaking with wide and deep support in Germany: shut down the nation’s nuclear power plants, wean the country from coal and promote a wholesale shift to renewable energy sources.

But the plan, backed by Chancellor Angela Merkel and opposition parties alike, is running into problems in execution that are forcing Germans to come face to face with the costs and complexities of sticking to their principles.

German families are being hit by rapidly increasing electricity rates, to the point where growing numbers of them can no longer afford to pay the bill. Businesses are more and more worried that their energy costs will put them at a disadvantage to competitors in nations with lower energy costs, and some energy-intensive industries have begun to shun the country because they fear steeper costs ahead. (snip)

A new phrase, “energy poverty,” has entered the lexicon.

It certainly doesn’t help that 4 of the last 5 winters in Germany, and much of the world, have been brutal, and this winter is predicted to be brutal as well. And, because of all this barely-functioning “green” energy along with the destruction of energy that works to meet “climate change carbon reduction goals” Germans are regressing to earlier times before modern energy.

At some point these “green” methods will work. That time is not now.

Dems Walk Out On Benghazi Hearings Featuring Parents Of Killed Americans

By William Teach September 20, 2013 – 10:14 am

Can you imagine the outrage in the NY Times, Washington Post, CBS, NBC, ABC, et all had Republicans pulled this?

(Townhall) During the second portion of a House Oversight and Government Reform hearing about Benghazi Thursday on Capitol Hill, the majority of Democrats on the Committee left the room and refused to listen to the testimony of Patricia Smith and Charles Woods. Ms. Smith is the mother of Sean Smith, an information management officer killed in the 9/11 Benghazi attack. Charles Woods is the father of Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, who was also killed.

That’s something that every Republican should be highlighting from now through the 2014 Midterms.

Pelosi Unplugged In La La Land

By William Teach September 20, 2013 – 7:59 am

We can always count on Nancy Pelosi to live in her own little private fantasy world

(Politico)Striking a tone of disgust, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi ridicules the GOP as obsessed with its loathing of President Obama and hell-bent on hurting him politically, regardless the cost. She assigns little to no blame to the president (even though Democrats privately say that’s laughable) and instead portrays him as saintly, above reproach and the victim of jealousy or something worse.

At this point, yes, we do somewhat loathe Barack Obama: he’s made it very easy as he turns everything hyperpartisan and takes every opportunity to demonize and demean Republicans, even using the resources of the White House to do it. It’s gotten to the point where his attacks on “Congressional Republicans” are attacks on us all, attacks on 50% of the U.S. citizens. We loathe him as the President and as a politician, along with most of his politicians. That’s on him.

“You know why it is,” she said. “You know why it is. He’s brilliant, … he thinks in a strategic way in how to get something done … and he’s completely eloquent. That’s a package that they don’t like.”

Brilliant, huh? His signature legislation is underwater in popularity, and always has been. His Stimulus was a vast waste of money and a failure. His foreign policy is a disaster. And, eloquent?
