A scientist whose famous drowning polar bears research armed global warming nut cases with their strongest, bleeding-heart, emotional and illogical claim has been placed on leave while the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement investigates possible “scientific misconduct.” (Full story)

Meanwhile, NASA climate data shows that over the last 10 years or so, the dreaded carbon dioxide supposedly killing our atmosphere has had very little green house effect. “There is a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans.” (Full story)

So the polar bears are not drowning and carbon dioxide is not causing green-house-effect global warming*. But, I’m sure you won’t hear about any of this on CNN.

What will the next hysteria-inducing plot be? You know they’re probably already working on it. I expect it will hit the news sometime in the next five years or so. Check out this previous post and read the secret recipe so you can spot the next one.

*Carbon dioxide is not a green house gas. Nor is the freon that used to cheaply run your air conditioner. Nor are the CFCs that used to cheaply pressurize your hair spray and dry clean your clothes. All these have now been regulated or flat out outlawed by the eco-nuts and replace with more expensive, less effective options. But, of course, we know exactly why, don’t we?

It’s falling squarely on the head of the Global Warming Sham with a satisfying “squish” sound.

This Wall Street Journal opinion piece outlines the public deflowering of the vaunted Un IPCC. We’ve talked about all that before (here and here), but what makes this one blog worthy is these two juicy tidbits near the end.

[Mr. Jones] has called into question other issues that the climate lobby has claimed are indisputable. [Mr. Jones] told the BBC that the world may well have been warmer during medieval times than it is now. This raises doubts about how much our current warming is man-made as opposed to merely another of the natural climate shifts that have taken place over the centuries. Mr. Jones also told the BBC there has been no “statistically significant” warming over the past 15 years, though he considers this to be temporary.

Oh, now he changes his tune. Too little too late, sir!

The “Mr. Jones” in question, is the totally disgraced Phil Jones, the most guilty member of the Climategate scandal that finally turned the tide of (at least some) media attention about the climate sham. Mr. Jones has now been forced out of his lofty research position and is now, one can only hope, living in a refrigerator box in some back ally preaching his global warming garbage to the ally cats.

Me thinks not much. Global-eco-fear-mongering… err… global warming has now reached the bottom of the list of concerns for Americans.

And the crowns of the “scientists” who have so long held “consensus” on the issue are falling faster that I can post about them.

A recent report (admittedly reported by climate skeptics, so… you know… they must be wrong) showed that the Un, NASA, and NOAA have, for quite some time, been cherry picking their climate data by reducing the number of weather stations that feed into their databases, pulling data from more and more warm weather locations (like lower altitudes and further south).

As a follow up to to a previous post about junk science in a Un-scientific report…

The scientist behind the bogus claim in a Nobel Prize-winning UN report that Himalayan glaciers will have melted by 2035 last night admitted it was included purely to put political pressure on world leaders.

You can read the rest of that article here. I added the emphasis on the Nobel Prize. Does anyone take the Nobel committee seriously anymore? I think they should rename it the “Pandering for Donations From Rich Liberals Racked With Guilt For Being So Rich Award.” That has a nice ring to it.

It seems like every day I see another nail added to the global warming coffin. This one was particularly good. Good enough to be blog-worthy.

The Un scientific panel for global warming proselytation, known as the IPCC, will very likely be forced to retract a warning that the Himalayas will be ice free by 2035.

The official Un report was based on a single scientific article published ten years ago which was, in turn, based on a single telephone interview with an Indian scientist who, in turn, based his information on an unpublished and unreviewed report, which, as it turns out, did not mention any specific date for the Himalayan glaciers to melt. That same Indian scientist now admits that the data from his interview was “speculation” and was not supported by any formal research.

Good job, Un. With this kind of rigorous scientific investigation, you’re doing the skeptics job for them. Keep up the good work!

Clicky clicky for the Times (UK) article.

Ok folks. I’ve been hording up links for years and putting this off for far too long. Today, I read a story that broke the polar bear’s back. (Don’t worry. It’s linked below.)

Are you ready for the news flash? Here it is:

The global warming crisis is a lie!

There. Now, don’t you feel better? No? Ok. How about this:

The hole it the ozone layer is a lie!

Still not feeling all warm and fuzzy? Ok.

The acid rain crisis is a lie!

The end of fossil fuels is a lie!

The dangers of coal and nuclear energy is a lie!

The extinction of the whales is a lie!

The deforestation crisis is a lie!

The global over-population crisis is a lie!

Are you starting to see a pattern yet? Well. Let me spell it out for you, just to be sure.

All, yes each and every one, of the above manufactured, sky-is-falling catastrophes were created by, more or less, the same people, for, more or less, the same reason. There are people in this world who truly and religiously believe that mankind is a virus. That you and me and our TVs and our running water and our big fast-food-fed butts are enemies of their beloved Earth. These people really and truly believe that the only way to save their blessed planet is to reverse human productivity, progress, comfort, and happiness (and thus reduce human population).

You might think I’m exaggerating, but, sadly, I’m just scratching the surface. Now, I’m not going to go into all of the psychosis and human-hating logic. All I want to do in this post is expose their modus operandi.

Here’s how it works:

1. The current eco-crisis of the day begins to lose favor when the supposed catastrophe doesn’t materialize, or the media starts to lose interest, or actual scientists manage to find their way into the main stream far enough to debunk the scare tactics.
2. A new eco-crisis must be created and it must meet the following criteria:
   1. It must be tangible. It has to be something people can point to and/or touch and say, “See! The sky IS falling!” (ex. “Hurricane Katrina was awful! Darn that global warming!”)
   2. It must be something impossible (or at least very difficult) to disprove. (ex. “How can you say there is no such thing as acid rain. Prove it!”)
   3. It must be something so terrible that it would cause (were it true) human suffering on a massive scale. (ex. “If we cut down all the trees, there will be no more oxygen for your children to breath!”)
   4. The only possible solution to the crisis must involve curtailing, taxing, regulating, or in some other way decreasing human convenience. (ex. “The only way to save the world is for you to sell your big, safe, convenient SUV and buy a cardboard tissue box with wheels.”)
   5. As an added bonus, the crisis and it’s imaginary resolution should be profitable for the people who join the cause. This way, they’ll be well funded and/or carry political clout that can be spent on the next eco-crisis when this one peters out. (ex.**ALBERT FREAKING GORE**)
3. Now, to get the word out. Conveniently, 90% of the Lame-Stream Media is populated by ex-Berkeley-hippies who thrive on sensationalizing suffering and making everyone who is happy feel guilty about it.
4. After it’s had some time to soak in the nightly news… You know, a pseudo-scientific report here, bit of clever video editing there… It’s time for Mr. Smith to head to Washington. Thank goodness that politicians build their careers on public sentiment rather than facts.
5. Now that this newly minted crisis is in the forefront and; through careful planning, back-door deals, and out-and-out fraud; the critics have been kept at bay (ex. “Denying global warming is on par with denying the Holocaust!“); it’s time to brain wash the children. Make sure that all the cartoons and kids shows are reinforcing our crisis. “Remember kids, your mommy’s SUV is polluting the sky and killing cuddly wuddly polar bears! We may have to cancel Christmas!“
6. At this point, just ride the wave, collect as much fame and money as you can before the crisis-de-jour begins to ebb.
7. Rinse and repeat.

I want you to look this over carefully. I want you to really internalize it. Study it. Know it. Why? Because I am now certain that we are at the tipping point. In the next few years, global warming is going to peter out.

It’s very likely dead already…
– “Climategate”
– “Gore either lying or just terribly stupid”
– And the final nail: “The Mini-Ice-Age has begun”

But this time, thanks to smart people like you and me, and thanks to this marvelous series of tubes, things might just go a little differently.

See, the global warming crisis set a new precedent and it wasn’t a good one for the Earth hugging human haters. This was the first post-internet crisis. For the first time in human history, everyone, millions upon millions of people, have access to the new main stream medium. Smart people with real data can now tell the world the truth. In the next decade, more people will get their information from right here on the web than from the talking heads on the nightly news. Finally, there will be no filtering, no spinning, no iron-fisted control of the facts.

Plus, for the first time, you’ll be able to link back to my posts about the folly of global warming as you, on your blog, tell your readers about the equal folly of whatever is coming next. Let’s just hope it’s more creative than global cooling. Cuz, seriously, how many times are they going to try that? (Hint: I’ve already posted about it here.)

Why does all the great blog-worthy new happen when I’m out of town. I’m typing this from my phone so I must be brief.

Please take some time to google The Manhattan Declaration.

Also the global qarming hoax exposed by leaked emails. If this gets the press it deserves, the GW scam is dead at last.

One Colorado ski resort opened for business today on the earliest day of the year in 40 years thanks to an early cold snap. Another will open Friday, the earliest opener in the resort’s 60 year history. (Clicky clicky)

Also, an Idaho school district has had its earliest “snow day” closure in the history of the school district. (Clicky clicky)

Maybe the Global Warming hoax is a conspiracy hatched by ski resorts and a snow-plow drivers’ union. That’s the most sensible explanation I’ve heard yet.

Here’s a previous post that takes a more serious look at the matter.

My dad told me a great story last year, about the time the first bailout bill was being debated.

I grew up on a horse farm. We had all kinds of animals on the place. The most numerous were ducks. Ducks are the best insect suppression you can buy. But, ducks are easy targets for predators, particularly coyotes. We had a large pin, with six foot fences around it in which the ducks would spend the night, safe from predators.

Dad noticed we had lost some ducks. He assumed that coyotes had found a way into and out of the pin. He checked all around for holes in or under the fence, made some repairs, adjusted the gate to close tighter, etc. But the duck population continued to suffer.

There was a large dog house in the pen to afford the ducks shelter and shade. Dad was in the pin, puzzling over how the coyotes were getting in and back out, when he heard something under the dog house. There was a litter of baby skunks. Momma skunk had found her way in and dug a den under the dog house where she and her young had a ready supply of taste ducks at their disposal. While Dad had been shoring up the borders against external attacks, he had unwittingly locked in the real threat, the internal threat. He had locked the skunks in the pin, giving the real predators the keys to the kingdom.

The lesson here is one that should be applied to politics, now more than ever. In November, America, swayed by emotional teleprompted speeches and catchy slogans, locked the skunks in the pin. Now, those skunks are making babies as fast as they can, inviting in more and more skunks.

Here’s a quick run-down of the current skunks. There will be more, rest assured.

Bill Richardson – Commerce Secretary. Caught in pay-to-play scandal. Appointment withdrawn.

Tom Daschle – Health & Human Services Secretary. Tax cheat. Appointment withdrawn.

Nancy Killefer – Chief Performance Officer (responsible for White House spending). Tax cheat. Appointment withdrawn.

Timothy Geithner – Treasury Secretary. Tax cheat… who now runs the IRS. Nice.

Hillary Clinton – Secretary of State. Hillary was confirmed despite concerns over Bill making money from international donors and foreign governments.

Hilda Solis – Secretary of Labor. Known lobbyist American Rights at Work, a strong-arm labor lobby. Can you say conflict of interest?

William Lynn – Defense Secretary. Known lobbyist for a defense contractor. (See conflict of interest above.)

Janet Napolitano – Secretary of Homeland Security. Napolitano made the news after the anti-tax Tea Party demonstrations by warning the FBI and CIA to look out for dangerous individuals who are pro-gun, anti-big-government, pro-life, religious, etc. Basically, anyone who calls themself a conservative. She also blamed Canada for the 9/11 attacks by falsely claiming that the terrorist came into the US through the northern border. One word: CLUELESS!

Kathleen Sebelius – Health & Human Services Secretary. As governor of Kansas, Sebelius threw a victory party in the governor’s mansion for illegal abortionist George Tiller, the most notorious late-term abortionist in the US. Her state attorney general appointment, another militant pro-abortionist, was forced to resign after a sex and abuse of power scandal. She also pushed through huge tax increases in Kansas.

Steven Chu – Energy Secretary. Chu is a top-notch global warming nut-job, making stupid sky-is-falling statements exactly like I exposed in my last post. His solution? Carbon taxes. Great. Funny thing is, he seems to happily admit he has no idea what he’s doing. In a conference call to reporters, he said his answer reflected “more of my naiveté than anything else.”

Rosa Brooks – Adviser to the Undersecretary of Defense. Brooks, a George Soros lackey, called Bush “our torturer in chief” and a “psychotic who need(s) treatment.” She compared Bush’s War on Terror to Adolf Hitler’s use of political propaganda. She considers al-Qaida “little more than an obscure group of extremist thugs” and that “on 9/11, they got lucky.” She credits US policy for turning al-Qaida into what it is today.

Harry Knox – Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Knox is a militant homosexual activist who called Pope Benedict XVI and Catholic bishops “foot soldiers of a discredited army of oppression.” When appointed, Knox said the LGBT community “will support the president in living up to his promise that government has no place in funding bigotry against any group of people.” Unless, of course, that community is Christian. That’s totally different.

Rev. Otis Moss Jr. – Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Moss is the father of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s replacement at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Moss Jr. once noted that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas “is like seeing your brother set your house on fire with laughter while your parents and brothers and sisters are in the house,” just because Thomas is a black conservative.

Harold Koh – State Department Legal Advisor. Koh believes that US courts should refer to foreign law in interpreting our Constitution. That is, other countries must have better ideas than us about how to run our country.

Dawn Johnsen – Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel. Johnson, in a supreme court brief, compared pregnancy to involuntary servitude. Thus, abortion is equivalent to freeing slaves.

Eric Holder – Attorney General. Where to start?! Holder is a anti-gun nut, pro-terrorist nut, anti-military nut, anti-border control nut… need I go on? In his few days in office, he has moved forward to close Gitmo, with no plan on what to do with the terrorist housed there. He has denounced US “torture” policies on foreign soil. And he insists he’s going to push through a Clintonesque gun ban even when Dems in Congress warn him not to try it.

And the list goes on and on and on. The skunks are everywhere.

First, read these quotes from well known and widely accepted scientific experts.

“We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation.”

“We have about five more years at the outside to do something.”

“Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”

“Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 2025 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half….”

“Air pollution…is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone.”

“By the year 2040, if present trends continue, we will have completely used up all the Earth’s crude oil. There won’t be any more.”

“In 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.”

“The world has been warming sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees warmer for the global mean temperature in 2030, but eleven degrees warmer in the year 2040. This is about twice what it would take to melt the ice caps and flood all the world’s coastlines.”

Sounds pretty bleak, don’t it? We’d better do something! We’d better all run out there and buy hybrids and cloth grocery bags and stop having kids to reduce our carbon footprint.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but all of the above statements were made in 1970, almost 40 years ago. I just changed the dates and some of the predictions (all in italics) to bring them in line with the current fear mongering of the eco-nazis.

You see, back in the 60’s and 70’s, it wasn’t global warming and ice caps melting that everyone was freaking out about. It was air pollution, over population, and the unstoppable ice age that would be caused by the global cooling that was going on back then. Here’s that last quote in it’s original form:

“The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”

Here’s another:

“Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India…By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.”

That’s right. According to the “almost unanimous,” “solid experimental and theoretical evidence,” of the most widely respected scientists of 1970, you shouldn’t be alive. We should be a solid 10 years into global starvation and an ice age!

So, next time you hear someone talking about the doom and gloom of global warming, or chastising you for your horrible carbon footprint, just tell them, “Sorry. There’s nothing I can do about it. We all died in the ice age 10 ago. But don’t worry, so did you. By the way, how’s that hole in the Ozone Layer doing? Haven’t heard about that lately.”

Here’s the complete article I pulled these quotes from. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share it with all you eco-nazi friends. And while you’re at it, you can forward these too.

Global temperature has been level since 1998, and it has nothing to do with human greenhouse emissions

Alaska glaciers grew in 2007-2008 due to colder weather

Decade since 2000 coolest since 1930s

Yes, it’s Earth Day! To help you celebrate this important holiday, I’ve put together a to-do list for my eco-conscious readers.

• Use twice as much toilet paper as usual.
• Flush three time (twice for the extra paper, and once to salute the Earth).
• Don’t bother with that silly hair gel. Just use aerosol hair spray.
• Leave the fan running in the bathroom all day. Got to clear out those fumes.
• Crank up the AC. It’s gonna be a hot one today!
• Whoops! Now it’s too cold in here. Better kick on that space heater.
• Turn on all the lights. Let’s make this Earth Day the brightest ever!
• Mailing something today? Be sure to ask for over-night air-mail! Keep those jets flying!
• Drive to work. Drive to lunch. Drive home. Drive to dinner. Drive to church. Drive no where in particular.
• Oh, and since “Fatties Cause Global Warming”, be sure to super-size it! Do you want fries with that? You bet! It’s Earth Day!!
