Hotcoldwetdry Could Maybe Sorta Possibly Cause More Cataracts

By William Teach December 21, 2012 – 2:41 pm

Have you hear the latest scary story from Warmists?

(Environmental Health News) Higher summer heat is associated with increased risk of a rare birth defect that can lead to blindness. A 5-degree increase in temperature was associated with a 51 percent increase in congenital cataracts. The strongest link in this new study was found during a specific time of pregnancy when the eye is developing. The finding could be worrisome given climate change and increases in extreme hot-weather events.

First of all, it’s not science when they refer to it as “climate change”, instead of “anthropogenic global warming”. It’s politics. Secondly, let’s take a look at an article at Watts Up With That? by Willis Eschenbach

A 5°F (2.75°C) increase in summer temperature is significantly associated with congenital cataracts? Really? Now, think about that for a minute.

This study was done in New York. There’s about a 20°F difference in summer temperature between New York and Phoenix. That’s four times the 5°F they claim causes cataracts in the study group. So by their claim that if you heat up your kids will be born blind, we should be seeing lots of congenital cataracts, not only in Phoenix, but in Florida and in Cairo and in tropical areas, deserts, and hot zones all around the world … not happening, as far as I can tell.

Warmists tried something similar back in 2008 on World Health Day, saying that increased UV from hotcoldwetdry would cause more cataracts and blindness from cataracts. So far, hasn’t increased. But, without the scary stories which no one in the media tends to follow up a few years down the road Warmists would have a tough time pushing their cult.

Schoolkids Won’t Know What Unconfusing Parking Rules Are

By William Teach December 21, 2012 – 10:00 am

Won’t someone please think of the children?

Snow emergency parking rules confuse drivers

For the first time Thursday, Omaha began enforcing rules that restrict where people can park in a snow emergency, and confusion ensued.

It’s truly horrible!

Obama Wants Americans To Do The Work On Gun Control

By William Teach December 21, 2012 – 7:58 am

With most politicians, this would be a heartfelt speech on getting everyone involved to fix an issue. With Obama’s history, this is outsourcing the issue while ducking any work himself

(Politico) President Obama urged Americans to keep pushing for efforts to combat gun violence, as he thanked hundreds of thousands of people for voicing their concerns to the White House over the course of the week since the Newtown shooting.

“We hear you,” Obama said in a web video released Friday morning, responding to the more than 400,000 people who have signed a collection of petitions on the White House’s We the People website urging a swift response to the Dec. 14 massacre.

“You’ve started something and now I’m asking for you to keep at it,” he said. “I’m asking for your help to make a real, meaningful difference in the lives of our communities in our country and make sure the United States of America is a safer, stronger place for our children to learn and to grow.”

There you go, Liberals/Progressives/Democrats: Obama has given you your marching orders. Give up your own guns.

Call out the vast liberal entertainment industry that makes violent movies and TV shows that feature murder and guns.

Call out the video game industry that glorifies murder and guns.

Call out Obama for surrounding himself with people who carry guns, including automatic assault weapons.

But, mostly give up those guns you use for protecting yourself and your families from criminals who couldn’t care less about laws and often use guns obtained illegally to rob, injure, and kill people (doing those things are also against the law, just to be clear).

Palin Mocks Time And Obama Over Person Of The Year Selection

By William Teach December 21, 2012 – 7:40 am

CNN provides some of the details, which seem oddly similar to an article at the Atlanta Black Star (read both, and realize that the ABS article was posted before the CNN article, and is trending on several news aggregators), minus the Palin Derangement Syndrome

(CNN) Managing editor Richard Stengel wrote Obama deserved the recognition because he “forged a new majority, turned weakness into opportunity and sought, amid great adversity, to create a more perfect union.”

But Palin, who along with 2008 GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, lost to the Democratic presidential ticket four years ago, said “those are some silly words chosen to describe Barack Obama.”

“When I first heard that, the first thing that popped in my mind was: What the heck has he done? Really, what has he done, except drive us over a fiscal cliff,” she said. “What has he done to unify and make our nation a more perfect union? For the life of me, I don’t know.”

Well, he is giving free stuff to people. Paid for by borrowing 46 cents on every dollar the United States federal government spends. He’s increased the debt by over $6 trillion dollars. He’s made Americans even more divided. He blames everyone else, and demonizes private citizens and entities.

(Atlanta Black Star) Palin offered this assessment of the proper path “toward a more perfect union.”

“The path toward a more perfect union is our Constitution and I think we’ve seen examples of our President not necessarily following the Constitution,” she said. “In fact, he’s wanting to change the Constitution because he see it as a charter of negatives…and he’s made statements in the past about his view of our Constitution. And following the Constitution is the blueprint toward a more perfect union.”

If the Founding Fathers truly agreed with Palin, they wouldn’t have seen the need to continually add amendments to the constitution. But let us not pick nits with the former governor.

Ah, but the Founding Fathers left a path for adding amendments, but until such time, elected officials are legally required to follow what the Constitution says.

Palin also had a few things to say about Benghazigate and the former Marine being held in Mexico, which team Obama is doing nothing about. The media doesn’t want to focus on those, obviously.

Crossed at Right Wing News and Stop The ACLU.

Sanford Vs Sanford For Tim Scott’s Seat?

By William Teach December 20, 2012 – 5:23 pm

How fun could this be?

(Washington Post) The Republican primary to replace Rep. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) could pit former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford against his ex-wife, Jenny Sanford.

That’s a match I’m up for watching.

Warmist Compares Ignoring Hotcoldwetdry To Manslaughter

By William Teach December 20, 2012 – 1:33 pm

Hey, remember when Warmists were saying they had to be more rational and less unhinged? Not working out too well

(The College Fix) A prominent UC Berkeley professor recently linked ignoring global warming with watching people die during a guest seminar at Ohio State University.

Citing monsoons and other extreme weather phenomenon on the other side of the globe, Kirk Smith, a global environmental health professor, said climate change is “a moral issue.”

Smith told an anecdote to the audience of a professor who ignores a drowning child on campus as he rushes to teach a class. He then tells his students about ignoring the child, and they are aghast. Later at home, the hypothetical professor opens his mail and throws away a letter from the United Nation’s Children Fund.

“No one thinks that is immoral, and why not,” Smith said of throwing away the UNICEF letter.  “What’s the moral distinction? … Today climate change is a sin of omission.”

So…..all the Warmists who have failed to give up their fossil fueled vehicles are guilty of manslaughter.

Schoolkids Won’t Know What Outside Looks Like

By William Teach December 20, 2012 – 9:51 am

Won’t someone think of the kids?

The combination of heavy snow and fast-whipping winds caused most people to simply not brave the conditions and take to the roads in Dodge County.

It’s so terrible, kids in Wisconsin can’t go outside!

Elsewhere, I-70 is closed, and drivers in Iowa and Nebraska were warned to just stay home.

Obama Says Hotcoldwetdry One Of The Top 3 Issues He’ll Blow Off In 2nd Term

By William Teach December 20, 2012 – 7:04 am

Well, he didn’t quite say that, but if he’s focusing on it like the economy, little will get done

(The Hill) President Obama has identified climate change as one of his top three priorities in his second term after coming under fire from environmentalists for giving the issue short shrift during the campaign.

The president, in an interview for TIME’s Person of the Year award, said the economy, immigration, climate change and energy would be at the top of his agenda for the next four years.

What we saw during Obama’s first term was a laser like focus on the economy for a few days after a speech, then he’d forget about it for months and months as things like golf, parties, vacations, and campaigning became his top priorities. Then a speech about a laser like focus for a few days. Lather, rinse, repeat. So, he’s specifically telling us what three issues he’ll mostly blow off over the next 4 years.

And he has got to know that he’ll never get the votes in the GOP controlled House, and even some Democrat Senators aren’t on board with artificially jacking up the cost of living for Americans through “climate change” legislation.

In that press conference, Obama touted executive actions designed to curb emissions, such as finalizing new vehicle fuel efficiency standards and rolling out the first-ever air pollution limits for new coal-fired power plants.

So, more legislation by kingly decree. Still, don’t expect a whole bunch out of Obama in his attempt to make the weather nicer. Perhaps he could tell us what the optimal temperature should be. Oh, and give up his own big “carbon” lifestyle.
