Warmists Starting The “Climate Criminals Project”

A lunatic at AmericaBlog (the same blog, but different lunatic, recently seen making wild and inaccurate claims about John Hawkins) has come up with a wild new idea

This falls under the heading of “wouldn’t it be nice.” I think the proposal below, if executed, would add considerable muscle to the existing (and frustrated) climate crisis movement.

I’m calling this proposal the “Climate Criminals” project — a label for the five-pronged approach to a climate solution that I’ve been writing about — for example here:

Solving the climate crisis — Goals, targets and tactics (a summary)

I won’t detail the project’s tactics yet — this piece is already long enough — but I do want to identify the targets of those tactics, show how those targets would be approached, and set up the next few posts in this series.

As far as those tactics go, you know what the lunatic, Gaius Publius, says doesn’t work?

Personal behavior change — individual action — is not enough. That discussion is here. The bottom line, even if you went totally green, you’d have to get power from somewhere. And that “somewhere” is under political control, not personal control. Behavior change is critical, but not enough.

Of course not. Warmists practicing what they preach is never the solution for Warmists. Why? Because it’s hard to live the CO2 neutral lifestyle and give up all modern trappings.

The problem — Humans continue to put carbon into the air. What’s already there is too much.

Alas, Warmists cannot even put it in scientific terms at the most basic talking points. It’s Carbon Dioxide. Carbon is something different. In fact, our bodies are carbon based. Life on earth is carbon based.

The solution — Put the carbon industry out of business. Completely.

So, put all life on earth out of business? Yes, yes, the lunatic is writing in Warmist, and is really discussing CO2. If you want to put the CO2 business out of business, well, that means living like it’s the middle ages or earlier.

The Climate Criminals five-pronged approach is a plan for a cadre-led movement to:

  • Target the perps, the “carbon criminals”
  • Catalyze leadership among on-the-fence politicians and media
  • Unconfuse the people about global warming consequences

In others, fascism, stalking, harassment, violations of Constitutional rights, and….hey, wasn’t Sarah Palin demonized over her “targeting?” Will the lunatic take responsibility when “carbon criminals” are assaulted?

Mohammed Video Creator Arrested, Ordered Held Without Bond

Hmm, are the jack-booted thugs coming to take those who insult Islam away?

(The Smoking Gun) The producer of the controversial anti-Islam film “Innocence of Muslims” has been arrested for violating terms of his probation and is set for an appearance today in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, is scheduled for an initial appearance in the courthouse where Judge Christina Snyder sentenced him in June 2010 following a bank fraud conviction.

[UPDATE: Citing Nakoula’s “lengthy pattern of deception,” a federal magistrate this afternoon ordered him held without bond for alleged probation violations, including making false statements to his probation officer and using aliases. The judge rejected a plea from Nakoula’s lawyer, who argued that the convicted felon’s life would be in danger at an L.A. lockup due to the facility’s large population of Muslim inmates. Nakoula will remain in custody in advance of a probation revocation hearing, the date for which has yet to be scheduled.]

Lest you think it over the top for federal agents to arrest him and see him appear in federal court, many of his original charges were federal ones.

Investigators have not yet provided details about how Nakoula allegedly violated probation, but it seems clear that his involvement in the “Innocence of Muslim” production is central to the government’s new charge.

Glenn Reynolds writes “Ya think?”

Included in his probation terms were prohibitions on his use of the Internet, unless he secured prior approval from his probation officer. Additionally, he was not to “use, for any purpose or in any manner, any name other than his/her true legal name or names without the prior written approval of the Probation Officer.”

From Allahpundit: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. And if we occasionally have to haul a guy in on a probation violation to ensure that the future doesn’t belong to him, hey.”

There was quite a bit of outrage on Twitter over this yesterday, and……I’m not going to take part in that. Certainly, the film played 100% of a role in Nakoula being arrested. You have Obama, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Boy Wonder Jay Carney, and other administration officials criticizing the film, but, it appears that by making the film and disseminating it on the Internet while using multiple aliases Nakoula broke the terms of his probation. He’s not exactly an upstanding, law abiding guy.

It may seem that the jack-booted thugs are coming for him to stop his freedom of speech which was highly critical of Mohammed, but the only person to blame is Nakoula himself for breaking the terms of his probation.

MSNBC Talks About “White Grievance”

Shockingly, MSDNC’s Martin Bashir talks about race

(The Blaze) During his MSNBC show on Tuesday, Martin Bashir hosted a not-so-balanced panel to discuss the “miseducation” of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and conservative pundit Ann Coulter on education policy.

After the panel slammed Romney and Coulter for their politics, including Bashir joking that Coulter of has a “psychiatric illness,” the conversation turned to race, ironically, with the entire MSNBC panel arguing that it is the “right” that always interjects race into presidential races.

“This is about white grievance. And the right has spent 30 plus years stoking a sense of grievance among white working class voters,” MSNBC contributor Joy Reed said. “They’ve completely distracted them from the issues of what the 1 percent are really doing to them by constantly saying they are trying to take your stuff, those immigrants, those black people.”

“Everything from N-word head to Michelle Bachmann’s revision of history…to food stamp president,” Peterson continued. “It’s all coming from the right.”

“It’s all come from Mr. Romney,” Bashir added.

They really can’t help themselves.

Video available at the link. On a related note, the TV in the breakroom was on MSNBC, and I was treated to non-stop orgasms by Chris Matthews as he talked about Obama, and experience I hope never to repeat. They should probably play porno-style music in the background during Matthews’ show. And, yeah, they yammered on about “race” as it relates to voter ID. Why is only Democrats who worry about their voters having ID? Conservatives seems quite confident that their people have ID.

Oh Noes! UK Halloween Could Be Cancelled Due To Climate Change

It should be noted that while Richard Tol is a Warmist, he’s not in the “alarmist” category. He hasn’t taken wacko extreme views, advocated for many of the extreme economic measures (though he does support a “carbon” tax), and was critical of the people exposed by the Climategates. He seems to be an honest scientist who does believe in man-induced warming, though he does call the impact “small”.

(Telegraph) Farmers say there will be a shortage of pumkins this Halloween as the bad summer weather means the crop is down by 20 per cent and many are still green.

Pumpkin growers in Lincolnshire are now racing against time to get the harvest finished before the frost claims more of their crop.

At David Bowman Pumpkins, near Spalding, which is Europe’s largest producer of the vegetable, around 40 per cent are still green because of the cold weather.

“It’s terrible, pumpkins don’t like the wet and cold and that’s what we’ve had all summer,” said Mr Bowman, whose farm normally produces two million a year, around three quarters of the British crop.

Sadly, Warmists have been saying that the cold rainy weather in the U.K. is because you drove a fossil fueled vehicle, releasing greenhouse gases that make the atmosphere warm.

100 Million More Will Supposedly Die From Hotcoldwetdry If Gov’t Doesn’t Tax Your Existence

Another breathless doom and gloom report, upset that weather happens

(Reuters) More than 100 million people will die and global economic growth will be cut by 3.2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030 if the world fails to tackle climate change, a report commissioned by 20 governments said on Wednesday.

As global average temperatures rise due to greenhouse gas emissions, the effects on the planet, such as melting ice caps, extreme weather, drought and rising sea levels, will threaten populations and livelihoods, said the report conducted by humanitarian organisation DARA.

Hey, I wonder what happens when it gets cold? Like when 75 million died simply from the spread of the Black Plague at the beginning of the Little Ice Age? And the people who died of starvation because crops wouldn’t grow? And the Viking settlements wiped out because their livelihoods were too agrarian?

It calculated that five million deaths occur each year from air pollution, hunger and disease as a result of climate change and carbon-intensive economies, and that toll would likely rise to six million a year by 2030 if current patterns of fossil fuel use continue.

Except, CO2 is necessary for life on Earth. It is not a pollutant. And, more importantly, can they scientifically prove this prognostication? No, they’re projecting that all these deaths occurring now will get worse, creating a prognosticating causal relationship

An increase in CO2 is not going to cause 700k more deaths a year. Nor does a warmer atmosphere create more skin cancer. And Malaria was around well before the industrial revolution and CO2 passing 350ppm.

Anyhow, what are the solutions? Would it shock you to learn that they want governments to spend lots and lots of money to create a “low-carbon economy”? Or that the study itself was financed by governments? Follow the money.

Clinton: Hey, The Benghazi Attack Could Have Been Al Qaeda

A spoonful here, a spoonful there…..it’d be nice if the Credentialed Media were doing their jobs and asking the hard questions from day 1 instead of waiting for the (supposedly) most transparent administration ever to dole out drips and drabs

(NY Times) Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday suggested there was a link between the Qaeda franchise in North Africa and the attack at the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, that killed the American ambassador and three others. She was the highest-ranking Obama administration official to publicly make the connection, and her comments intensified what is becoming a fiercely partisan fight over whether the attack could have been prevented.

Mrs. Clinton did not offer any new evidence of a Qaeda link, and officials later said the question would be officially settled only after the F.B.I. completed a criminal inquiry, which could take months. But they said they had not ruled out the involvement of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb — an affiliate of the international terrorist group with origins in Algeria — in an attack the administration initially described as a spontaneous protest turned violent.

How’s that investigation going?

(CNN) More than two weeks after four Americans — including the U.S. ambassador to Libya — were killed in an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, FBI agents have not yet been granted access to investigate in the eastern Libyan city, and the crime scene has not been secured, sources said.

“They’ve gotten as far as Tripoli now, but they’ve never gotten to Benghazi,” CNN National Security Analyst Fran Townsend said Wednesday, citing senior law enforcement officials.

“They had difficulty, and we understand there was some bureaucratic infighting between the FBI and Justice Department on the one hand, and the State Department on the other, and so it took them longer than they would have liked to get into country. They’ve now gotten there. But they still are unable to get permission to go to Benghazi.”

FBI agents have made a request through the U.S. State Department for the crime scene to be secured, Townsend said, but that has not happened.

Great. Our consulate was attacked and burned, our ambassador and 3 others were killed, many were injured, and these fools are playing power games.

Oh, and speaking of al Qaeda, a bit of a bombshell was launched yesterday

(Daily Beast) Within 24 hours of the 9-11 anniversary attack on the United States consulate in Benghazi, U.S. intelligence agencies had strong indications al Qaeda–affiliated operatives were behind the attack, and had even pinpointed the location of one of those attackers. Three separate U.S. intelligence officials who spoke to The Daily Beast said the early information was enough to show that the attack was planned and the work of al Qaeda affiliates operating in Eastern Libya.

So Team Obama knew, yet were still yammering on about it being a spontaneous protest gone bad a week later, and still whining about the attack being caused by a stupid video no one had seen.

Noted Warmists Speaks At UNGA

Now, if we could only get him to talk about “dirty weather”, he could speak on Al Gore’s Current TV!

(Policymic) -The environment as a common wealth and heritage of the entire humankind and a constant guarantor of man’s survival has been seriously damaged and devastated as a result of irresponsible and excessive use of resources particularly by capitalists across the world, a situation that has caused massive drought, flood, and pollutions inflicting irreparable damage and jeopardizing seriously human life on Earth.

Any guesses who?

Meanwhile, said Warmist also met with “peace activists.

Dems Whine About “Carbon Pollution”

Don’t you love how people who are big “carbon” offenders like to preach?

(The Hill) Two senior House Democrats are circulating a detailed tally of extreme weather in the U.S. and worldwide as they seek to rebuild political support for congressional action to battle global warming.

Reps. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Edward Markey (D-Mass.) – authors of the big climate-change bill that narrowly passed the House in 2009 – released a report Tuesday about record-setting heat waves, droughts, violent storms and other costly disasters.

Bad weather only started with the invention of the combustion engine, apparently.

“While the Republican-led House of Representatives refuses to take climate action, carbon pollution is mixing a deadly cocktail of heat and extreme weather that is costing lives and billions of dollars in damages,” Markey, the top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee, said in a statement.

The most deadly hurricanes all occurred below 350ppm. The Dust Bowl the same. Perhaps Markey should talk to his buddies in the Democrat led Senate

Airlines for America (A4A) commended the Senate for passage of S. 1956, which would allow the Transportation Secretary to direct U.S. airlines to not participate in the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) because it violates international law and U.S. sovereignty. The EU ETS tax has faced stiff opposition from the airline industry and international governments.

“Congress has spoken – U.S. airlines should not be subjected to this illegal scheme that amounts to little more than a cash grab for the European Union as none of the funds collected are required to be used for environmental purposes,” said A4A President and CEO Nicholas E. Calio, noting that the House previously passed a similar bill.

Will Markey and Waxman vote for or against the bill?
