A Tough Winter for Global Warming

Ten thousand year weather forecasts;
Aren't easy to do;
The Al Gore you wanted;
Was bought by hedge funds too;
No food shortages, or genocidal wars;
Will quite explain the reason;
That Al Gore's a whore;

Cold winters in London and Tashkent;
Cold, Cold winters, are still heaven-sent;

(spoof song, wild horses, Rolling Stones)




After the April snowstorms in London, England, Global Warming has nothing to crow about. The rumors about "the hottest years ever" are shown to be just that, rumors. The horrible cold this year in Russia, and especially Central Asia, for example Uzbekistan, reminds us that 100 years weather forecasts are not easy to do at all. Anyway, the melting of the polar icecaps, on the Planet Mars hints to a solar origin of any warming that has been seen in that year and other years.

Global Warming is Killing Me

Yes, Global Warming is killing me. Whether it is true or not, I don't know, but the measures on the bio-fuels, this is insanity. What does pushing bio-fuels have to do with global warming yes or no anyway? It is wild. Now, with the rice shortage hitting the United States, all hell may break loose. And 12-percent of the corn crop going to ethanol, that is a lot of food that is being destroyed.

Farmers are not making money on this, since the credit crunch is destroying their ability to tap into the futures market. The farmers have to sell their crop for cash to ADM or one of the other cartel companies, often at a price much lower than the futures market. Other farm cooperatives are trying to play the futures market, and are getting hit with massive margin calls. Then they are forced to buy their crop on the futures market for a higher price than they receive for the farmer. How crazy, but speculation is not a game that anyone wins except the Wall St, and London players.

Global Warming Skeptics Speak Out

A new coalition of global warming skeptics are speaking out. Although it is said that global warming will create real problems, such as coastal flooding in the future, it is true that global warming policy is creating big problems right now. Energy costs are rising, and bio-fuels policies are spreading starving and food riots in many places. The word from the Cooler Heads Blog is that 155 nations are enjoying the fact that they are exempt from or did not sign the Kyoto Accords, and would like to keep it that way. Actually all 180 countries are trying to worm their way out of these draconian policies, including the European Union.

Also of interest is that Nils-Axel Morner has reaffirmed that the world is in no danger of imminent flooding from global warming. So if you go to see the film "The Day After Tomorrow" remember it is only a movie.

Hard to Come Out of your Shell with the Economic Crash

It's hard to come out of your shell with the economic crash. And things are getting even more expensive in the allegedly global warming sea.



Luckily with the joys of processed oysters, you can be oyster aware, and taste the good life. Gulf oysters with minimal pasteurization type processing can be totally safe even for people in poor health to eat raw. And for the average person, this pasteurization type processing is not necessary in any case. So look for the pearl in your oyster, and don't be afraid to open up.

Global Warming Skeptic

From Christopher Booker:

As President Bush finally caved in to international pressure last week and committed the US to spending untold billions of dollars on "the fight against global warming", I happened to be in Washington at the same time, talking on the same subject to more than a dozen very lively and opinionated radio shows.

I was there with my co-author Richard North, at the invitation of an enterprising Washington think-tank, the Independent Women's Forum, to launch our book Scared to Death: From BSE to Global Warming, Why Scares are Costing Us the Earth.

Stop the CO2 scare, writes Christopher Booker
One of the central flaws in the IPCC's case is its reliance on computer models

Speaking to audiences across the country, for up to an hour at a time, we were impressed by how well informed -and sceptical about global warming - were the array of presenters who interviewed us. We told them it would have been unthinkable to have such intelligent conversations on this subject on any BBC programme back in Britain.

But the highlight of our visit was dinner with Dr Fred Singer, a distinguished US scientist, formerly professor at two universities, and founder of the US satellite weather service. He has done more than anyone in the scientific counter-attack against the ruthless promotion of global warming orthodoxy by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Dr Singer played a key part in last month's scientific conference in New York organized by the Non-governmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), and gave me an advance copy of its new report (which is now available online - just Google "sepp" and "NIPCC").

The report - Nature Not Human Activity Rules the Climate - presents a devastating analysis of the IPCC's case. Intended for a lay audience and signed by scientists from 15 countries, it takes all the key points of the IPCC's "consensus" case and tears them expertly apart, showing how the Intergovernmental Panel has either exaggerated, distorted or suppressed the evidence available to it, or has imputed much greater certainty to its findings than is justified by the data.

One of the central flaws in the IPCC's case is its reliance on computer models, based only on those parts of the evidence which suit its chosen "narrative", omitting or downplaying hugely important factors which might produce a very different picture. These range from the role played by water vapour, by far the most important of the greenhouse gases, to the influence of solar activity on cloud cover.

The report's most startling passage, however, is one that examines the "fingerprint" of warming at different levels of the atmosphere which the computer models come up with as proof that the warming is man-made. The pattern actually shown by balloon and satellite records is so dramatically different that, even on the IPCC's own evidence, the report concludes, "anthropogenic greenhouse gases can contribute only in a minor way to the current warming, which is mainly of natural origin".

The significance of this can scarcely be overestimated. At just the moment when, thanks to the overwhelming pressure generated by the IPCC, the world's politicians, led by the EU, are committing us to spending untold trillions of pounds, dollars and euros on measures to "mitigate" the claimed effects of man-made warming, here is a galaxy of experts producing hard evidence that - if the problem exists at all - the official explanation for it is oriented in wholly the wrong direction.

Furthermore the consequences of that warming and of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have, on balance, been wholly beneficial, by increasing plant growth.

The real danger, the report warns, is not a continued warming but that temperatures and agricultural production might drop as the world faces its worst food shortage in decades (now being made worse by the crazed rush to give over farmland to biofuels). And if that is the way the evidence lies, how much are any of our politicians doing to prepare for a crisis already upon us?

Or how did the old "the Clash" song go? The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming!1 Better stock up on long underwear.

Green Global Warming Tourism in Queensland

There is always a silver lining. Global warming good for tourism, says former Queensland premier Peter Beattie says of Australia. Mr Beattie, now a visiting scholar at the University of South Carolina in the United States, this week gave a guest address at the university on sustainable tourism.

"There is a silver lining to global warming in Queensland, and it is not just developing clean coal technology to clean up energy generation and a more environmental way in which we inhabit this planet," Mr Beattie told the forum.

"Global warming not only demands environmental answers but will see an increasing desire ... for clean, green tourism destinations which are environmentally friendly and carbon neutral."

He said an increasing number of American and European tourists would demand eco-friendly tourist activities and accommodation.

"Queensland's rainforests and Great Barrier Reef will be prime targets for these environmental tourists, and operators who promote themselves as environmentally friendly and carbon neutral will be the big winners," he said.

"Indeed, holiday experiences which include a focus on the dangers facing the reef from rising global temperatures will have a particular appeal, especially if Australian tourism operators highlight the positive role Australia is playing in fighting carbon emissions and global warming."

Mr Beattie said indigenous eco-tourism was another area worth developing.

"This provides an opportunity for the development of sustainable ventures that promote indigenous culture and demonstrate the relationship of the environment with its original inhabitants," he said.

Mr Beattie stepped down as premier in September last year and in June take up a three-year posting as the Queensland trade commissioner based in Los Angeles.

I don't know. I still think it is more fun to have an eco-panic attack.

Global Warming Growing Cold

Global Warming is becoming a cold issue, like some cold leftovers left on my plate. The weather in Central Asia was so cold this winter that thousands died of cold, hunger and exposure in places like Kyrgystan and even Afghanistan. Now Al Gore may want to become the Democratic candidate again, as the official bio-fuel and bio-fascist candidate. This is another sign of the times, but I don't think it will work.

The word is getting out that because 12-percent of the US corn crop is being bio-fueled into alcohol and gasohol, that millions will starve to death. This is not something that can be viewed as "good for the environment" unless you really enjoy killing people, especially children. Tell that to Al Gore, Michael Bloomberg and their pet polar bear.

Green Global Warming Guilt

Yes there seems to be a new guilt trip going around on the environmental blogs and elsewhere. This one is totally justified. Environmental reasons and global warming issues were used to sell the biofuels craze. Now, some 15-percent of the US corn crop is being turned into alcohol for biofuels. Huge amounts of sugar cane in Brazil, and soon in Guatemala are being turned into alcohol for gasohol. Now the food prices are skyrocketing, and no provision is being made to feed hundreds of millions of people. How many people are now slated to starve to death or die in food riots already? Go ask Al Gore, I think he knows.

Majora Carter Got her Green Circuits Crossed

Why did Majora Carter do it? It's one thing to run a Tibet protest on the street. It's another thing to be an official Olympics Committee delegate from New York, and then when the Olympic Torch comes by, in San Francisco, you, pull out your Tibet flag. Shame on you Majora!

Majora Carter, a well-known Afro-American activist, is better known in New York and the South Bronx as the head of the Sustainable South Bronx organization and a fighter for the Greenway and other environmental and recreational facilities. Maybe after this betrayal of her trust to the Olympics Committee, Majora should be best known as an anarchist, traitor and a British Agent!!!

After all, who do you think is egging her on, if not paying her too? What does her white husband think of this.

Starvation and Global Warming

Is there a link between starvation and Global Warming? Some of the things done to address Global Warming have produced starvation, such as the bio-fuels program. Then there is general chaos and rising prices as well. The rabid British creation of chaos and famine in Kenya and Zimbabwe, occur against a background of worldwide hyperinflationary food price hikes and sudden food shortages, which are threatening both genocide, and the collapse of Third World governments. The developing potential food crisis and famine arise from decades of British and Brussels attacks on national food self-sufficiency, and outright food scarcity policies masked as "agricultural free trade."

Josette Sheeran, director of the United Nations World Food Program, warned that "a perfect storm" is threatening millions as food prices soar and as the need for aid grows rapidly, during a visit to East Africa, reported The East African. "We are seeing a new face of hunger," she declared at a U.N. conference in Ethiopia on April 1. "We are seeing more urban hunger than ever before. Often, we are seeing food on the shelves but people being unable to afford it."

Worsening economic pressures related to the cost of food have resulted in civil disturbances in five African countries in just the past three months -- Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Mauritania, Mozambique and, Senegal. In Kenya, the "political" violence has led to increased hunger among the displaced, and in Tanzania, 38% of children under the age of five are stunted in height due to chronic malnourishment.

Another UN official warned in Dubai that rising food prices will set off worldwide unrest and threaten political stability. Sir John Holmes, the UN's emergency relief coordinator, told the Dubai International Humanitarian Aid & Development (DIHAD) Conference that "The security implications should also not be underestimated as food riots are already being reported across the globe. Current food price trends are likely to increase sharply both the incidence and depth of food insecurity." Holmes estimated that food prices had shot up 40% (!) on average worldwide since the summer of 2007. Soaring fuel prices will also contribute to the unrest, he said, including the direct contributions to food price hikes made by increases in diesel prices, fossil fuel-based fertilizer prices, etc.

The London Guardian newspaper listed the worst food unrest, most recently, as threatening the stability of Egypt, Haiti, Ivory Coast, but also the riots in Cameroon in February; in Mauritania, Mozambique and Senegal; and protests in Uzbekistan, Yemen, Bolivia and Indonesia. UN staff in Jordan also went on strike for a day this week to demand a pay rise in the face of a 50% hike in food prices. That is going to kill people.

Cry Baby Bloomberg- No Congestion Pricing

Wanna-be President Michael Bloomberg could barely hold back the tears today. However, being that he was on CSPAN, the nationally televised political network, he did his best to control himself. His oligarchical toll-collecting and gate-keeping proposal for downtown Manhattan, known as "congestion pricing" crashed and burned. Meanwhile, a more sane environmentalist, at the environmental blog points out that the bio-fuels fad is rapidly raising the price of food internationally and causing riots and starving in many countries. What either congestion pricing or bio-fuels have to do with stopping global warming is beyond me.

Snow in London, England

London, England got a good dusting of snow on April 6th and 7th, of about 3 inches total. Despite dire predictions of Global Warming, this snow hit quite late in the year, actually the early spring. From local reports, the snow also stopped rail transport and airport traffic. In all respects, it wasn't a great day for Al Gore and his prediction of doom lobby.

Lesbian Love and Earth Day

The throw-away magazine, "L Magazine" in New York City, is urging us to get serious in our celebration of Earth Day. It admonishes its readers to "stop breeding." Later in the magazine, they suggest various "gay" and lesbian joys and happenings such as Art Fag City, as presumably, an alternative to heterosexual activities. To call parents "breeders" is a pretty nasty way to talk about human beings in the first place. After all, these are not dogs being born, but children, who can grow up to solve environmental and other problems. Can you handle that "L"?

Is this really how we "solve" global warming?

They Say the West is Suffering from Warming

A prominent eco blog on Global Warming says that the Western US is suffering from Global warming. I find this hard to belief and think it is just fear mongering. I seem to recall a tremendous amount of snow hitting Colorado and other areas. Isn't that the opposite of Global Warming?

Perhaps this is part of the campaign to create enough Global Warming hysteria, to give more power to Al "Blubba" Gore at the Democratic convention, or even draft him for President in a deadlocked Convention.

I feel so bad, these guys are actually forecasting the collapse of cities in the west such as Denver and Las Vegas, due to water shortages. Isn't it time to build NAWAPA and desalinate sea water?
