Global Warming Doubts Hamper Climate Legislation? Christian Science Monitor, March 8, 2010. The new polls released yesterday suggest that the cap and trade legislation passed by the House last June, and currently in the Senate may have suffered a fatal setback. The severe drop in support for global warming legislation is the result of the series of scandals since last November that reveal fraud at every level of the man-caused theory. Along with the horrible economy the scandals have created the "perfect storm" against any legislation that allegedly stops man-caused global warming (it can't be stopped because it is not happening in the first place). Note: Don't count on this happening. If the Dems get any form of healthcare passed, it is likely they will push ahead on cap and trade. President Obama essentially told us that in his State of the Union address. If they fail to pass healthcare, they will still push for converting to green energy (which will further bankrupt us) and imposing smart grid technology on us. More on this later. Global Warming: The Other Side. KUSI News, January 16, 2010. KUSI meteorologist John Coleman, Cofounder of the Weather Channel, interviews a series of climatologists to explain the real and fraudulent science and controversy surrounding Global Warming. An excellent 5 part series.  
After Errors, Global Warming Gets a Cold Shoulder. Boston Globe, March 8, 2009. Public confidence has been eroded by the string of email exposures of fraud, deliberate use of un-refereed articles from environmental advocates as scientific evidence of apocalyptic catastrophes, and systematic tampering of temperature data to show more warming than really exists. Recent polls found only 57 percent now believe global warming is even occurring at all, down from 71 percent in 2008. Fifty percent were "somewhat" or "very worried" about global warming, a 13 percent decrease from the fall of 2008, and 26 percent decrease from 2007. The percent of people who completely dismissed global warming as being man-caused jumped from 7 percent in 2008 to 16 percent today. Meanwhile 56 percent don't trust what the things scientists say about the environment; up from 49 percent in 2007. Note: The drop in warming alarmists continues a 3 year trend. What is discouraging is that the lies and politicization of this issue is also increasing mistrust in scientists in genera, which can spell trouble in the future. Look for a big push to get legislation passed this year as a last ditch effort. The Pacific Decadal Oscillation Explained. Nocapandtrade.us, January 13, 2010. Accuweather's Joe Bastardi provides one of the best explanations available on the relationship between earth's temperature and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and what is happening now that we are entering the cool phase of the PDO. It explains far more than the CO2 model of climate change.  
Coal-State Dems Unveil Bills Stalling EPA Emission Curbs. New York Times, March 4, 2010. "Four influential coal-state Democrats introduced companion bills in the House and Senate today that would block U.S. EPA from implementing any climate-related stationary source rules for two years, a timeout of sorts that they think gives Congress time to pass legislation dealing with the issue." The " bill would give Congress the time it needs to address an issue as complicated and expansive as our energy future. Congress, not the EPA, must be the ideal decision-maker on such a challenging issue." This is in addition to the resolution by Senator Murkowski (R-AK) that would overturn EPA's "endangerment" finding that opens the doors for the multi-thousand page series of regulations that the EPA was scheduled to implement this month, but has postponed until 2011. Note: This may be an attempt by the Democrats to short-circuit Murkowski's resolution, but more likely is the political realization that Obama has said numerous times he plans to put the coal industry out of business, even though the U.S. has a 500 year supply of coal.

Data Fraud and Corruption. To read newspapers and magazines, as well as TV news, it appears that the data used to prove man is causing global warming is rock solid and not open to debate. It is not. In fact, the data is so fraudulent and corrupted that it should never be used to justify cap and trade legislation. Yet, that is exactly what is happening. These are just a few of the examples of fraud.

  
Climategate Statements from Physics, Chemistry and Statistical Societies. Climate Research News, March 5, 2010. Three British profession societies have sent scathing reviews of the East Anglia Climate Research Unit's email Climategate fiasco to Britain's Parliament. They are the Institute of Physics, The Royal Society of Chemistry, and the Royal Statistical Society. Contrary to the media's effort to downplay and whitewash the email's revelations, the three professional organizations are highly critical of what the email's revealed. The organizations criticized the effort to distort data, obstruct opposing ideas, the flagrant denial to release data to be evaluated by others, and more. The general conclusion was that the corruption was so bad that any conclusions drawn from the CRU data were highly suspect.

What's Wrong With Cap and Trade? An overview by Kristie Pelletier of the science and climate models of global warming. The models are wrong and there has been natural warming and cooling for thousands of years. Cap and trade legislation is not needed.

 
$90 Million Bill for the CO2 of Britain's Political Class. London Telegraph, February 20, 2010. Must Read: The British Government allocated £60 million ($90 mil) of taxpayers money to be spent on buying carbon credits from Third World nations to keep government offices warm and comfy. JP Morgan and Barclays (a branch of JP Morgan) gets a cool £9 million (13.5 mil) for brokering the deal. (Note: JP Morgan is one of the biggies pushing for global governance). Most of the carbon credits were bought from China and India. How does China have any credits to sell when they are the single biggest carbon polluter on the planet, with India close behind? The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has set up a sweet racket for them. Chinese and Indian firms are permitted to carry on the production of the refrigerant gas HCFC-23, which has a byproduct known as HCFC-23. HCFC-23 happens to be 11,700 times more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. The UNFCCC allows China and India to destroy the HCFC-23, claiming allocations of carbon credits worth billions for doing so while much of the useful HCFC-22 is then sold on to the international black market. China's profits can be used to build their military so they can destroy us. After millions of taxpayer money was spent, not one pound of carbon emissions was removed.

Cap and Trade Insanity. Cap and Trade legislation in the US Senate will destroy the American way of life--forever. It puts the government in charge of our economy. It forces the use of renewable wind and solar energy which have serious problems we are not being told about. Neither are economically feasible with today's technology and will cost trillions of dollars. The same strategy in Spain has resulted in huge job losses and escalating costs to Spanish consumers.

 
Global Warming Scientists 'Need to Go Back to Square One.' CNS News, March 3, 2010. Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) chided the EPA's regulations saying that global warming has not met scientific criteria; the theory does not match the facts. None of the alleged science cannot be verified, but is being used in computer models that provides the only evidence for man-caused warming. Scientists, he said need to start over again using verifiable empirical data. The comments were made during an announcement a resolution condemning the EPA's recent endangerment finding that greenhouse gases (CO2 specifically) are pollutants. They don't expect the resolution to pass in the Democrat-controlled House.

The Crippling Cost. Although Congress tells us that the cap and trade legislation will only cost an average family less than $200 a year, that is just wrong. Very wrong. It is the biggest tax increase in the history of the United States. But Congress is hiding it so you can't see it. Analyses done by independent organizations shows that it will cost families many thousands of dollars a year and will drastically lower our standard of living. It hits the poor especially hard, even with federal rebates.

 
A Gas Tax to Cure Global Warming? Washington Examiner, March 2, 2010. Senators John Kerry (D-MA), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Joe Lieberman (I-CT) are proposing a carbon tax to replace the unpopular cap and trade schemes that are stalled in Congress. NOTE: Ironically, a carbon tax is far more straight forward, less intrusive, less susceptible to corruption, and more transparent than the convoluted cap and trade ideas. Its biggest problem? The dreaded word "tax" is in the bill. Even though cap and trade is in reality the biggest tax ever passed by Congress, the word "tax" does not appear in the title. All the costs to the taxpayer are hidden by whopping increases in the cost of living to poor and rich alike. Cap and trade is OK, carbon tax is forbidden -- even though either one is not necessary because man is not causing global warming, and either one will pretty much sink our economy.  The UN IPCC Fraud The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is supposed to be the last word on unbiased science concerning global warming. In fact, the IPCC stifles any science that contradicts its man-caused mantra. It must not be used to justify cap and trade legislation.  
The Global Warming Blizzard Myth. Philadelphia Bulletin, February 18, 2010. In spite of record cold temperatures and snowfall, global warming alarmists are repeatedly trying to convince the American people that it is all part of global warming. The global warming computer models, they tell us, predict record heat will resume, along with higher frequency of extreme weather such as heat waves, drought, floods violent storms, and yes, blizzards. However, historical records don't support this. Record warmth across the globe occurred more frequently in the late 1800s and early 1900s than now. US precipitation has increased 10 % in the last 115 years, but it has been in low to moderate events, not extreme events. Drought in the US still happens, but has experienced a sharp decline the past century. Severe tornadoes were more common in the 1960s and 70s during global cooling in the 1990s and early 2000s when warming was occurring. Not surprisingly the number of tornadoes has increase the past 5 years as the earth once again was cooling. The winter of 2009-2010 is the coldest and snowiest since 1899.    
Al Gore Won't Return Your Call. Fox News, February 26, 2010. "In the last three months, as global warming has gone from a scientific near-certitude to the subject of satire, Gore -- the public face of global warming -- has been silent on the topic. The former vice president apparently finds it inconvenient even to answer calls to testify before the U.S. Senate. You can call him Al . . . but he won't call back." Gore did attend the Apple's annual stockholders meeting last Thursday. "Gore was seated in the first row while several stockholders bashed his high-profile views on climate change. One reportedly said Gore 'has become a laughingstock. The glaciers have not melted.'" Ridicule is the least that could happen to Gore. Senator Inhofe (R-OK) derided Gore,  "When his movie came out, parents of small children told me their kids had to go to the psychiatrist over bad dreams about global warming. We owe it to the public to find out where the science came from. This is the greatest scientific scandal of our generation."    
EPA's Global Warming Power Grab. Washington Times, February 25, 2010. Next month the EPA is set to began to implement its multi-thousand page set of regulations to control carbon emissions. President George W. Bush's EPA administrator, Stephen L. Johnson, warned that such a finding would result in a major government power grab. "[T]he potential regulation of greenhouse gases under any portion of the Clean Air Act could result in an unprecedented expansion of EPA authority that would have a profound effect on virtually every sector of the economy and touch every household in the land," he explained. The EPA placed what it called a "primary reliance" on reports like those of the IPCC instead of conducting independent research to make its finding. Given the retractions and revelations of faulty science surrounding the global-warming religion, especially at the IPCC, it's time to take the issue out of the EPA's hands so Congress can address it in the open. Note: It is highly unlikely the Democratically controlled Congress will vote to do this.    
Climategate II--NASA's Science as Corrupted as CRU's. Pajamas Media, February 17, 2010. NASA's GISS was finally forced to release emails under the Freedom of Information Act after being threatened with a lawsuit. Like the CRU email scandal, they are very revealing. Dr. James Hansen leads the GISS and a radical, even rabid global warming alarmist. This is what has been found so far. "The emails show the hypocrisy, dishonesty, and suspect data management and integrity of NASA, wildly spinning in defense of their enterprise. The emails show NASA making off with enormous sums of taxpayer funding doing precisely what they claim only a “skeptic” would do. The emails show NASA attempting to scrub their website of their own documents, and indeed they quietly pulled down numerous press releases grounded in the proven-wrong data. The emails show NASA claiming that their own temperature errors (which they have been caught making and in uncorrected form aggressively promoting) are merely trivial [the errors added 0.1oC--that's not trivial], after years of hysterically trumpeting much smaller warming anomalies. NOTE: we will bring you more specific information in the future.    
Even More Defections from Global Warming. Orange County Gazette, February 21, 2010. The global warming fear campaign is rapidly losing steam, and may even be reversing. ConocoPhilips, BP America, Caterpillar have announced they will not renew their membership in the U.S. Climate Action Partnership, formed to seek federal reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and investment in lower-emitting technologies. This is convincing evidence that many major corporations now recognize the energy-rationing cap and trade legislation is not needed.    
EPA Faces New Legal Challenges on GHG Ruling. Recharge, February 19, 2010. Alabama and Virginia have joined Texas and 13 other plaintiffs in filing court challenges to the US Environmental Protection Agency’s finding in December that heat-trapping greenhouse gases endanger human health and welfare. The 13 include the American Farm Bureau Federation; American Iron and Steel Institute; National Mining Association; Portland Cement Association; Ohio Coal Association; US Chamber of Commerce and Utility Air Regulatory Group, Gerdau Ameristeel; Peabody Energy; Southeastern Legal Foundation and the Competitive Enterprise Institute, an advocacy group, American Petroleum Institute; Corn Refiners Association; National Association of Home Builders; National Association of Manufacturers; National Oilseed Processors; National Petrochemical and Refiners Association and Western States Petroleum Association. The EPA is confident it will win. NOTE: If the US Circuit Court of Appeals bases its decision on the science, the EPA will lose. We'll see.    
Virginia Seeks to Block EPA's Finding of Endangerment from Global Warming. Richmond Times Dispatch, February 18, 2010. The EPA's finding of endangerment by greenhouse gases and their massive new regulations to control them is running into some snags. Several organizations have already filed lawsuits to stop the EPA and the State of Virginia just through its hat into the stew. Virginia's Attorney General said "An incredibly far-reaching decision has been made [by the EPA] using a clearly flawed process." He was referring to the avalanche of evidence showing fraud by climate research centers and the IPCC uncovered since late November. The EPA's decision rests entirely on the conclusions of the IPCC, which are now in serious doubt. NOTE: This is big. Unless Congress passes a simple law saying that the Clean Air Act does not pertain to greenhouse gases, which it should, but probably won't, individual states will likely issue direct challenges under the Tenth Amendment, which they are doing on other issues with increasing regularity.    
What to Say to a Global Warming Advocate. Orange County Register, February 12, 2010. There apparently are 19, that's right, 19 reports of fraud by global warming alarmists, especially in the IPCC. We have reported on most of them, but there are a few that we seemed to have missed. 1) China's temperature database is missing 42 important sites; 2) Rajendra Pachauri, the IPCC's Chairman, knew of the Himalayan glacier melting fraud before December's Copenhagen Conference, but still used it to scare attendees; 3) Britain's 2006 Stern report that painted an economic doomsday picture was mostly based on made up scenarios; 4) So far the 2007 IPCC report has been found to have at least 16 nonpeer-reviewed reports from the radical green World Wildlife Fund to back up the IPCC's catastrophic predictions; 5) Russia has accused the CRU/IPCC of leaving the coldest temperature stations out of the IPCC's analyses; 6) The IPCC's assertion that coral reef disintegration was based entirely on non-peer-reviewed assertions by Greenpeace; 7) The IPCC claim that African agricultural yields could be cut in half was from a green advocacy think-tank, not a peer reviewed journal; 8) claims that the 50% of the Netherlands was under sea level were false, it is only 20%; and the Alaska glacier loss was overestimated by 40% for the past 40 years.    
Skeptical on Global Warming. The Star Ledger, February 14, 2010. Every state of the union had snow on the ground or was snowing late last week. There is some question about Hawaii, but there are reports that it was snowing at higher elevations. Even if Hawaii is left out, it is still the first time this has happened in recorded history. Even though there has been a desperate attempt by warming alarmists that the cold and snow is caused by global warming, there is growing evidence that we are truly in a cooling cycle. Even Dr. Phil Jones, who is facing possible indictment for his role in Climategate, now admits the earth has not warmed statistically since 1995. Yet, man-caused warming continues to take on the aspects of a pantheistic religion. Believers believe without any evidence at all. NOTE: Ironically, January turned out to be one of the warmest months since satellites began measuring earth's temperature. It is due to an moderate El Nino embedded within a cold 30 yr PDO (Pacific Decadal Oscillation). The El Nino should dissipate by spring when colder temperatures will return. We'll see.     
Another Climategate Panel Member Proved Biased. The Scotsman, February 13, 2010. Only 24 hours after another ClimateGate panel member was forced to quit, questions emerged over Professor Geoffrey Boulton because of his previous views that climate change is caused by human activity. The public was assured that the panel members were "selected on the basis they have no prejudicial interest in climate science." Yet Boulton "was among a number of scientists who, in the wake of the climategate scandal, signed a petition to show their confidence that global warming was caused by humans. And for at least five years, he has made clear his strong views on global warming. He has given interviews and written articles – including in The Scotsman – that have spelled out his firmly held beliefs." He even argued "The argument regarding climate change is over." This led the editorial board of the Scotsman to question if the panel selection is an attempt at a cover-up.    
Climate Emails Review Panelist Quits After His Impartiality Questioned. The Guardian, February 12, 2010. Philip Campbell, editor in chief of Nature, the most prestigious scientific magazine in the world, was forced to resign from a panel investigating whether the CRU's hacked email showed wrongdoing on the part of CRU known as Climategate. It turned out Campbell had already told the Chinese state radio, "The scientists have not hidden the data.... In fact the only problem there has been is on some official restrictions on their ability to disseminate data, otherwise they have behaved as researchers should." Nature was the scientific publication in which Michael Mann's infamous Hockey Stick Curve was published. The Hockey Stick Curve has been thoroughly debunked as a fraud and was one of the main topics of discussion in the hacked emails. NOTE: To have invited Campbell in the first place strongly suggests a cover-up in progress. Anyone who understands the facts behind the emails can see that the CRU and its associated scientists blatantly corrupted the scientific method. Worse, it was also announced the investigation will be behind closed doors with no transcript of the proceedings. It is quite shocking how the global warming alarmists will do anything to prevent the truth from being told to the world.    
Record Snowfall Buries Climate Bill But Sparks Debate. NBC News, February 11, 2010. The historic snowfall in D.C. has shut down the federal government and hope seems to be withering that a significant climate change bill can be passed this year. In addition to paralyzing the nation's capitol, the blizzard has breathed new wind into the argument that the globe is not getting any warmer. Environmentalists are now pushing the counterintuitive notion that the heavy snow is further proof that global warming exists. Conservatives, meanwhile, are chilling -- confident that a northeast coated in white is the right indication that climate change is junk science. NOTE: GW alarmists proclaim the record cold and snow proves global warming. They're nuts, of course. On the other hand a batch of cold, snowy weather does not prove we are having global cooling either. We are in an warm El Nino that is happening in the Cold cycle of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). We entered the cold PDO ten years ago and it should be gradually cooling. It has been, which is right in line with cooling temperatures. At the same time we are in a moderate El Nino, which usually means a dry Pacific Northwest (Vancouver has no snow for the Olympics), a wet southern California and Southeast (which it is), and generally a wet central and northern Atlantic Coast (which it is). Conclusion? Man is not causing global warming. The sun and oceans control climate. Period.    
Sara Palin calls global warming science snake oil. Seattle Post Intelligence, February 10, 2010. While speaking at the Sierra-Cascade Logging Conference in Redding CA, Sara Palin lambasted the federal government's decision in 2008 to list polar bears as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Those promoting polar bear listing really want to shut down oil and gas leasing in Arctic coastal waters off Alaska, Palin argued. "We knew the bottom line . . . was ultimately to shut down a lot of our development," Palin told the loggers. "And it didn't make any sense because it was based on these global warming studies that now we're seeing (is) a bunch of snake oil science." NOTE: Although Palin is correct, the mainstream media is faithfully regurgitating all of the alleged "scientific" evidence on the melting polar icecap proving her wrong. The don't mention that the icecap has been rapidly growing in size since 2007.    
New Federal Office for Global Warming. Washington Times, February 9, 2010. President Obama is calling for a new federal office within National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to study, report and advise other agencies on global warming. NOAA's Climate Service office would help federal agencies and businesses prepare for and cope with global changes. "This service will be a vital part of our growing body of knowledge on climate change, and will be held to the highest standards of scientific integrity and transparency," said Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-MA). Markey is the co-author of last year's economy wrecking cap and trade bill that passed the House in June. NOTE: "the highest standards of scientific integrity and transparency?" Just like the IPCC at the international level, who has been exposed the past four months of data manipulation and outright science fraud. There is credible evidence that NOAA has already been cooking the books as well. This is nothing more that putting the wolf in charge of the henhouse.    
Follow the Global Warming Money. Casper Tribune, February 8, 2010. "Liberal politicians are adherents [of global warming] because they thirst for unlimited tax revenue through cap and trade laws. For pseudo-scientists, the global warming scheme is a smooth path to lucrative government research grants and the resulting prestige. To green energy producers, it is a financial bonanza for startup companies since the federal government is the largest venture capitalist in this field. Global warming is the basis for green energy continually seeking special tax favors, carbon portfolios and other benefits from all levels of government. For undeveloped countries global warming is a justification for restitution payments from the U. S. taxpayers. To the hard left it provides an environmental basis for one-world government and complete control over the production and lives of the planet. To people like Al Gore, who refers to global warming as "settled science," it provided an effective vehicle for becoming a multimillionaire."    
The Great Global Warming Collapse. The Globe and Mail, February, 6, 2010. First there was the e-mails leaked from the University of East Anglia, home of a crucial research unit responsible for collecting temperature data. Then the IPCC's claim that the Himalayan glaciers were melting was proved false. Next the IPCC's claim that large tracts of  the Amazon forest world disappear was based on a radical green article in an environmental magazine  not even related to global warming. Then came the revelation that the IPCC claim that the Alps glaciers were based on antidotal claims by hikers published in a hiking magazine. Now, well-known warming alarmists are saying the IPCC has crossed into advocacy and they don't want anything to do with it. "By exaggerating the certainties, papering over the gaps, demonizing the skeptics and peddling tales of imminent catastrophe, they've discredited the entire climate-change movement." NOTE: for the record, skeptical scientists have long known the IPCC's "evidence" was a fraud, and were suspicious that the CRU, NOAA, and NASA scientists were cooking the books. They just couldn't prove it until now.    
Media Cools On Global Warming. The Australian, February 6, 2010. Two major staunch defenders of man-caused global warming are now questioning the integrity of global warming data. After stonewalling Climategate and numerous revelations of fraud in the 2007 IPCC report, the British Independent is now questioning just what CRU's head Phil Jones meant when he said that Michael Mann (University of Pennsylvania) meant when he tried to "hide" the decline the data really showed. Mann used tree-ring analysis until 1960 and then switched to "real" data thereafter because the tree ring data showed cooling, not warming. The media outlet also questioned Jones' suppression of the heat island effect, which skeptics believe caused most of the warming in the late 20th century. England's The Guardian is also starting to question the suppression of evidence supporting the heat island effect. NOTE: This is evidence that even the media has to acknowledge the man-caused theory is coming unraveled even though they still support the theory.    
Climate Scientist Calls For 'Big Changes' at UN IPCC. The Heartland Institute, February 4, 2010. In his address to the Thirteenth Annual Energy and Environment Expo, Dr. William Sprigg took on the ClimateGate scandal and called for "serious reforms" of the global scientific community. He warned of a growing perception that "the IPCC is biased, conflicted, [and] pushing political agendas." Sprigg called for a new climate research agency supported not entirely by the government, but in conjunction with the private sector. "We need to stick to our scientific principles," Sprigg said, referring at least in part to the critical importance of sharing data with other scientists so that hypotheses and methodologies can be checked and double-checked. "We need to improve our peer preview process, and expand the stakeholders' role to keep us all honest."    
The Hottest Hoax in the World. Open Magazine, India, January 30, 2010. Increasingly messages like this are being reported in media around the world: "The climate change fraud that is now unraveling is unprecedented in its deceit, unmatched in scope—and for the liberal elite, akin to 9 on the Richter scale. Never have so few fooled so many for so long, ever. The entire world was being asked to change the way it lives on the basis of pure hyperbole. Propriety, probity and transparency were routinely sacrificed. The truth is: the world is not heating up in any significant way. Neither are the Himalayan glaciers going to melt as claimed by 2035. Nor is there any link at all between natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and global warming. All that was pure nonsense, or if you like, ‘no-science’!"    
IPCC Based Claims on Student's Report and Magazine Article. London Telegraph, January 30, 2010. In the growing debacle of false reporting in its 2007 report, yet another false conclusion in the report. The IPCC's 2007 report stated that observed reductions in mountain ice in the Andes, Alps and Africa was being caused by global warming, citing two papers as the source of the information. the conclusion was based on two reports; one was from a feature article in a popular mountain climber magazine based on anecdotal evidence and the other was written by a geography student that quoted interviews with mountain guides in the Alps. NOTE: This is not science and shows how sloppy the IPCC's report really is. Mountain snows have probably retreated, but it is not caused by man-caused global warming, but by the recovery from the Little Ice Age in the 1700s and 1800s plus changes in land-use patterns (which is the major reason for the disappearance of the snows of Mt. Kilimanjaro). Claiming the IPCC is a "scientific" organization is ridiculous.    
Can Climate Forecasts Still Be Trusted? ABC News, January 28, 2010. As the realization sinks in that the IPCC deliberately lied and then demonized anyone who questioned them about the lies, the mainstream media is becoming disillusioned about the integrity of the IPCC and it's increasingly shrill statements of doom and gloom. The word Glaciergate is now entering the language about all the exposures of fraud. Yet, even as the call for the resignation of IPCC Chairman and Nobel laureate Rajendra Pachuari increases daily, President Obama has just called for a 28 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020; 13 percent higher than what Congress called for in the House and Senate cap and trade bills. NOTE: It seems like the far left is insanely calling for more and more fascist laws in spite of overwhelming opposition by American citizens. Review the information on www.nocapandtrade.us.    
UN’s Global Warming Report Attacked for Rainforest Claims.  Foxnews, January 28, 2010. The UN’s IPCC is again under fire for the third time in two weeks for its claim in its 2007 report that 40 percent of the Amazon Rain Forest was threatened by global warming. The claim was totally discredited when it was discovered that the World Wildlife Federation’s study upon which the IPCC’s claim was based had nothing to do with global warming, but instead was about man-caused forest fires. Worse, the article was written by a freelance journalist/green activist. This new fraud by the IPCC follows the exposure of fraud by the IPCC earlier this week of its claim that global warming will cause increased extreme storm events, and the exposed fraud last week that the Himalayan glaciers would be gone by 2035. Note: This kind of fraud has been going on since the inception of the IPCC. (See our 4 minute YouTube video) If this were any other “science” organization it would be totally discredited and ignored in the future, or more likely, shut down entirely. That won’t happen to the IPCC because it is the key cog in a huge global agenda. They will go through the motions of a major housecleaning, but it will be a whitewash.    
2 Climate Studies Offer Hope on Global Warming. Houston Chronicle, January 28, 2010. Two studies just published showed that global warming was not nearly as serious as previously thought. One study showed that atmospheric water vapor had declined over the past 10 years rather than increasing as all the climate models had showed. Increasing water vapor amplifies the warming. It is called a positive feedback. However, the decline in water vapor the past 10 years shows it to be a negative feedback, which has caused earth’s temperature to actually decline. This suggested future projected warming would be about 80 percent less than forecast. (We have known this for at least two years. See our 3 ½ minute video). Another positive feedback is as oceans warm they cannot hold as much CO2 and therefore emit more CO2, which amplifies its effect in the atmosphere. This is not happening because the ocean’s are not warming as expected. Why? See our 4 minute YouTube video. Note: the author’s of these two research papers still claim man-caused CO2 is the primary driver of warming even though their results disprove it. Of course, they must make this claim if they are to get future grant money from the federal government.    
Carbon Currency: A New Beginning for Technocracy? The August Review, Carbon Currency: A New Beginning for Technocracy, January 26, 2010. Must Read There is growing evidence that national currencies, including the US dollar will be replaced with a single carbon currency. It is designed to support a revolutionary new economic system based on energy consumption and production rather than price. Our current price-based economic system and its related currencies that have supported capitalism, socialism, fascism and communism, is being herded to the slaughterhouse in order to make way for a new carbon-based world. Unfortunately for individual people living in this new system, it will also require authoritarian and centralized control over all aspects of life, from cradle to grave. Note: Economists have long thought the cap and trade system is an irrational means of controlling carbon emissions. However, if the long-term goal is to develop a carbon currency, it makes perfect sense. It's a well-worth reading report that may help explain the insanity of cap and trade legislation.    
Obama to Continue Pushing for Cap and Trade. State of Union Address, January 27, 2010. Obama: "And, yes, it means passing a comprehensive energy and climate bill with incentives that will finally make clean energy the profitable kind of energy in America. I'm grateful to the House for passing such a bill last year. And this year -- this year, I'm eager to help advance the bipartisan effort in the Senate. I know there have been questions about whether we can afford such changes in a tough economy. I know that there are those who disagree with the overwhelming scientific evidence on climate change. But -- but here's the thing. Even if you doubt the evidence, providing incentives for energy efficiency and clean energy are the right thing to do for our future, because the nation that leads the clean-energy economy will be the nation that leads the global economy, and America must be that nation." Note: While admitting there are scientists who disagree with the global warming mantra, it would still be the right thing to do to pass the legislation because it would create clean energy. He is wrong. It would not be profitable, it will not create new jobs, nor can it provide a lot of clean energy with today's technology.    
Public's Priorities for 2010: Global Warming Dead Last. Pew Research Center, January 26, 2010. A Pew Poll of top priorities by the American public ranked global warming dead last, 21 out of 21. Only 28 percent thought it the highest priority, down from 38 percent in 2007. This follows an overall trend in which only 48 percent of all Americans now believe man is causing global warming compared to almost 80 percent in 2006. Such a low ranking in the new Pew poll is driven in part by indifference among Republicans: just 11% consider global warming a top priority, compared with 43% of Democrats and 25% of independents. Not surprisingly, nearly 70 percent of all Democrats still believe man is causing global warming. Note: Watch to see if Obama will still pursue cap and trade in his State of the Union Address. There is no scientific or political justification for him to do so.    
China Officially Has Doubt About Man-caused Theory. Financial Times, January 25, 2010. China has made it official; cause of global warming is uncertain. Although global warming is a "fact," its cause very much remains in doubt. It is very possible it is nothing more than a natural cycle. China also strongly implied the IPCC must include "contrarian" evidence refuting the man-caused theory in the fifth assessment in 2013.  Note: The man-caused theory of global warming is rapidly becoming unraveled. However, since it is part of an agenda, don't expect the media or politicians to give up trying to pass cap and trade and some sort of international agreement.    
UN IPCC Falsely Linked Global Warming to Natural Disasters. London Times, January 24, 2010. Must Read. Still reeling from the inclusion of false warnings that the Himalayan glaciers would be gone by 2035, the IPCC has now been found to have used an unpublished, un-reviewed paper that shows that global warming creates the number and severity of natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods. One of the main emotional motivators for cap and trade legislation and international treaties has been the alleged "certainty" that global warming would cause catastrophic weather events. Indeed, almost every destructive storm the past 15 years has been blamed on global warming. It turns out that all these predictions of catastrophic weather were based on an unpublished report. Numerous scientists told the IPCC that it was wrong, but they included it in their 2007 report anyway. To add insult to injury, when the unpublished report was finally published it claimed, "We find insufficient evidence to claim a statistical relationship between global temperature increase and catastrophe losses." -- just the opposite of what the IPCC said. Note: Scientists have long known that the entire IPCC process is political and has nothing to do with true science. The proof is finally coming out. Even so, it is unlikely the IPCC will be shut down or will change its position. After all, it is advancing a political agenda, not the truth. (See why global warming can't cause the number and violence of storms. Get our highly acclaimed DVD)    
Glacier Scientist: I knew Data Hadn't Been Verified. Daily Mail UK, January 24, 2010. The scientist behind the bogus claim in the 2007 IPCC report that the Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035 said he knew the claim did not rest on peer-reviewed scientific research. "We thought that if we can highlight it [the unsubstantiated claim that exposed as false], it will impact policy-makers and politicians and encourage them to take some concrete action." When the report proving the melting claim was wrong IPCC Chairman, Raj Pachauri, rather than saying the IPCC would look into the report's accusation, said that the report questioning the IPCC was based on "voodoo science." It turns out the IPCC's report itself was based on voodoo science. Note: Skeptics have long known the IPCC was not a science institution, but rather a political institution instituting a political agenda to show man was causing global warming. It systematically eliminating all science that refuting its man-caused theory, and as evidenced by this controversy, made up "evidence" to support its agenda. It then demonizes anything or anybody that opposes it.    
Ohio Professional Geologists Reject Warming Alarmism. Heartland Institute, 1-21-2010. The Ohio Section of the American Institute of Professional Geologists has adopted a position statement rejecting global warming alarmism and calling on Congress to defeat legislation aimed at restricting carbon dioxide emissions. They further requested Congress to reject all cap and trade legislation stating, "The Ohio Section of AIPG professes that there is no scientific evidence supporting this [man-caused warming] premise." The statement condemns the IPPC science as being dependent "on unreliable climate computer-model simulations" that have not predicted the current cooling trend because the models incorporate a fatal error whereby increases in CO2 have positive feedbacks resulting in amplified warming when new science shows it is a negative feedback that reduces warming and explains the current cooling. Note: for an explanation of positive/negative feedback issue, view one of our short YouTube videos. This destroys the entire man-caused global warming theory.    
Global Warming Lower Than Expected. Lab News Daily, January 21, 2010. “Earth has warmed much less than expected during the industrial era based on current best estimates of Earth's "climate sensitivity"--the amount of global temperature increase expected in response to a given rise in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide.” The article gives two possible explanations: 1) The earth is less sensitive to CO2 than previously thought; 2) and/or the sun energy is reflected back into space by haze particles. Note: While the second probably plays a role, the first is the primary reason, although, not in the way they explain it. The article simply states that it will take a few decades longer to reach doomsday than originally thought. However, the problem is the climate models are simply wrong because every one assumes a positive feedback to increased CO2, which has been shown to be wrong. It is a negative feedback which diminishes the warming effect of CO2. Note: for an explanation of positive/negative feedback issue, view one of our short YouTube videos. This destroys the entire man-caused global warming theory.

The Carbon Footprint. Carbon dioxide is not, cannot be a pollutant. It is a miracle gas that is essential for life on earth, and was ten times more abundant in geologic history. Kristie Pelletier explains that increased levels of carbon dioxide has been a blessing to ecosystems and food production.

  
Will Senate Pass Cap and Trade in 2010? New York Times, January 19, 2010. The Senate is unlikely to consider climate change legislation this year after going through the contentious health care debate, says Sen. Brian Dorgan (D-ND). Instead Dorgan wants an Energy bill passed that is not a contentious as cap and trade. Meanwhile Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV, Majority Leader) will take the cap and trade bill up this spring. Note: Who's right? If the progressive Dems are following Saul Alinsky's strategy of attack and destroy (which seems to be what they have done all of 2009), Reid is right and Dorgan will be attacked. We could witness the destruction of the Democrat Party this year -- an election year to boot. The next few weeks should tell if the progressive Dems back off after their stunning defeat in Massachusetts Senate race on Tuesday. If they don't back off, expect a bloodbath because these progressives don't care who they hurt as long as they win.

The Critical Importance of CO2.  These leading scientists explain how critically important CO2 is to life on earth. Atmospheric CO2 was as much as 10 times higher in the past as it is today, and concentrations as much as 5 times current levels have not shown any adverse effects. Plants are CO2 starved and thrive when CO2 levels are elevated. It is estimated that crop production worldwide has increased already by 12 percent. It is essential to an expanding human population.

Heat Turned On IPCC Over Himalayan Glacier Claim. Times of India, January 19, 2010. The assault by science on the UN IPCC and man-caused warming continues with the revelation that another key marker in the 2007 IPCC's "science" report was totally wrong. The IPCC report claimed that peer-reviewed science showed conclusively that the Himalayan glaciers would be gone by 2035, proof of man-caused warming. When India's Environmental Minister, Jairam Ramesh told the IPCC's chief R K Pachauri that his scientists totally disagreed with the IPCC's assessment, Pachauri told him India's conclusions were "based on voodoo science." It turns out the IPCC's science was based on voodoo science. The entire IPCC report on the Himalayan's was not based on peer-reviewed science, but on a careless comment decades ago. NOTE: Pachauri's voodoo science putdown is typical for warming alarmists. They can't argue the science so they resort to rhetoric and demonization (no pun intended). After years of knowing man-caused warming was based on fraud, skeptical scientists are finally being vindicated. Stay tuned; there is more to come.

The Sun's Role in Climate Change.  There is far better reason for global warming -- the sun. Global warming alarmists claim there is not enough energy change in the sun's output to explain earth's warming. They are partially correct. But it is not the total amount of energy emitted by the sun, but the TYPE of energy released. Watch the video to find out why. Excerpted from the DVD Global Warming, Emerging Science and Understanding.

 
World Mislead Over Himalayan Glacier Meltdown. London Times, January 17, 2010. The claim by the UN in its 2007 IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report that the Himalayan glaciers would all melt by 2035 has now been proven to be nothing but speculation by an obscure Indian scientist who had mentioned it as a concern in a conversation but had no intention for his statement to be official. He said there was no research to support his concern. Yet, it was made a major supporting fact in the 2007 UN IPCC report that claimed there was a 90% certainty that man was causing global warming. Note: This is merely another in a long list of fraudulent statements the UN IPCC made in its 2007 report. It clearly shows how this alleged "scientific" organization will use any conclusion that man is responsible for global warming without checking it, but eliminate all solid, peer-reviewed science results that shows the warming is not caused by man.     
Climategate II. WorldNetDaily, January 16, 2010. Amid breaking news that scientist and climate alarmist Michael Mann, who gave the world the Hockey Stick fraud and played a central role in the Climategate scandal, received $541,184 from stimulus funds last June and another $1.9 million from the National Science Foundation this week, comes accusations against NOAA for cooking the books in the US. By now the Mann should be fully discredited as an unbiased scientist, instead is heavily rewarded by the Obama administration. Worse Joseph D'Aleo, first Director of Meteorology at the cable TV Weather Channel, has evidence that NOAA cooked the books by systematically eliminating most of the temperature data from northern and high elevation weather stations from the global temperature data base. This slight of hand would automatically show a large increase in global temperature. Note: There will likely be more revelations to come. The science from the CRU, NOAA and NASA stinks.    
UN Should Be Sidelined in Future Climate Talks. London Guardian, January 14, 2010. America sees a diminished role for the United Nations in trying to stop global warming after the "chaotic" Copenhagen climate change summit, an Obama administration official said today. Instead, the official said a future path for negotiations should be dominated by the world's largest polluters such as China, the US, India, Brazil and South Africa, who signed up to a deal in the final hours of the summit. That would represent a realignment of the way the international community has dealt with climate change over the last two decades. Note: Watch this in the future. We could be witnessing a shift to the G-7 or G-20 as the vehicle to usher in global governance. The G-20 meeting in Pittsburg last year suggests the same thing because it would be much easier to control.    
Insurance Group Warns Not to Accept Climate Science. New York Times, January 13, 2010. A major trade group for the insurance industry is warning that it is "exceedingly risky" for companies to blindly accept scientific conclusions around climate change, given the "serious questions" around the extent to which humans cause atmospheric warming. The reason? Climategate casts doubt over the reality of man causing global warming.    
Climate Change Experts Clash Over Sea-rise 'Apocalypse.' London Times, January 10, 2010. Climate science faces a new controversy after the Britain's Met Office denounced research from the Copenhagen summit which suggested that global warming could raise sea levels by 6ft by 2100. Note: It is amazing that the Met disputes this outrageous research. It's own research is very biased and outrageous in its own right.    
Global Warming is a Religion. Townhall.com, January 13, 2010. Manmade global warming, for many, is an Earth-worshipping religion. The essential feature of any religion is that its pronouncements are to be accepted on the basis of faith as opposed to hard evidence. Questioning those pronouncements makes one a sinner. That is exactly what is happening today on the global warming issue. In fact, as explained in the book Saviors of the Earth, most of the environmental catastrophes of the past 30 years are based in the earth-based religion of pantheism.    
Clean Energy Sources: Sun, Wind and Subsidies. Wall Street Journal, January 8, 2010. In Germany, renewable energy from projects that qualified for feed-in tariffs between 2004 and 2008 will cost consumers [euro ]122.3 billion (about $175 billion) between 2008 and 2030 -- 46% more than the same amount conventional energy would cost, New Energy Finance predicts. In Spain, renewable energy from projects started under the country's feed-in tariff between 2006 and late 2008 will cost [euro ]53 billion over the Spanish tariff's 25-year life, the firm projects, a 75% premium over the likely cost of the same amount of conventional power. As part of the Obama administration's stimulus plan, renewable-energy producers are eligible for cash grants totaling 30% of the cost of projects they start this year -- however high those costs go.    
Snow, Bitter Cold Grip Northern Hemisphere. Nocapandtrade.us, January 10, 2010. View a satellite image of the snow extent. Regional weather forecasts have all called for a warmer than average winter because a moderately strong El Nino has gripped the Eastern tropical Pacific. However, so far all have been totally wrong.    
The Met Office Gives Us the Warmest Weather. London Telegraph, January 2, 2010. England's MET office, the official weather forecasting agency for Great Britain, forecast of warmer than normal 2010 winter is being frozen over by the lowest temps in decades. This agency, sister to Climategate's Climate Research Institute, has a state of the art super computer, yet has disastrously missed seasonal predictions the past 3 years. "The reason the Met Office so persistently gets its seasonal forecasts wrong is that it has been hi-jacked from the role for which we pay it nearly £200 million a year, to become one of the world's major propaganda engines for the belief in man-made global warming. Over the past three years, it has become a laughing stock for forecasts which are invariably wrong in the same direction." Note: So much for unbiased science. Tragically, this is the norm for U.S. federal agencies as well.    
Scientist claims Cold Doesn't Negate Global Warming, But Privately Says He Has No Explanation. New American, January 8, 2010. Attempting to explain away the bitter cold and snow currently gripping the northern hemisphere, Dr. Kevin Trentworth told ABC News on January 6 that "weather is chaotic. It has an infinite amount of variability," including cold snaps. Putting aside the fact the current hemispheric cold is very rare, and a cooling trend has been in effect for 10 years, Trentworth is the same scientist who wrote in the climategate email scandal "the fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't." Note: You decide which Trentworth quote you believe.    
Climategate: You Should be Steamed. Seattlepi.com (Hearst), January 7, 2010. Neil Frank, retired Director of the National Hurricane Center, reminds us that the evidence that man is NOT causing global warming is huge, and growing. He discusses the climategate issue as rock-hard evidence of a fraud. He also notes that scientists are also coming out more and more against the man-caused theory. He cites 1) 32,000 scientists (including 9,000 Ph.D.s) who signed a petition saying there is no evidence man is causing the warming, 2) 700 scientists (many who are or were an IPCC member or author) who endorsed a 231 page Senate minority report that discredits man-made global warming, 3) and the endorsement of 800 scientists of an 881 page refutation of the 2007 IPCC report, and showing man is not causing global warming. Frank also provides a summary of the key points skeptics generally believe.    
Cold Snap Doesn't Disprove Global Warming. ABC News, January 6, 2010. As more evidence that very unusual (in some cases record) cold and snowy weather is tightening its grip on the northern hemisphere, some scientists still reassure the public that it does not disprove man-caused global warming. They say that man-made climate change will cause more frequent and more severe weather extremes. Note: History does not support this claim. Records show that global cooling has always caused more frequent and violent weather (for instance during the Little Ice Age in the 1700-1800s) compared to warm periods like the Medieval Optimum in the 1100-1200s.    
Arctic Freeze and Snow Weak Havoc Across the Planet. London Times, January 5, 2010. "There are few precedents for the global sweep of extreme cold and ice that killed dozens in India, paralyzed life in Beijing and threatened Florida orange crops. Chicagoans sheltered from a potentially killer freeze. Paris endured sunny Siberian cold, Italy dug itself out of snow drifts and Poland counted at least 13 deaths in record low temperatures of about minus 25C (13F)." Note: For the entire Northern Hemisphere to be hit with below normal cold and record or near record snowfall is extremely unusual. At the same time Solar Cycle 24 is delayed for three years, which historically has meant colder earth temperatures.    
The Real Cost of Green Energy Hits Britain. Mail Online, January 2, 2010. British Parliament is rethinking its green energy policy enacted 3 years ago as the costs keep skyrocketing. Costs for an average family are certain to go up to £2000 a year ($3200 US), and perhaps as high as £5000 annually ($8000). Included in this new reality is also the almost certain realization that millions of jobs could be lost when energy intensive industry has to move off shore. To add to this troubling reality, reports that British pensioners are already buying cheap books instead of coal to heat their homes in the below normal cold gripping England this year.    
China Gets Huge Snowfall, Cold Temperatures. Sidney Morning Herald, January 5, 2010. Beijing received its biggest snowfall since 1951, along with the harshest Siberian winds and temps down to -16o, the coldest in 40 years. The cause? Global warming, say the Chinese. In Peru increasing cold temperatures are also blamed on global warming. The Midwest and East Coast get hammered with record snowfalls and bitter cold the last week in December and early January. You guessed it. Global warming. Note: Are we so dumbed down that we cannot see past this hoax?     
Scientist Predicts Cooling. Times Argus, January 3, 2010. A Canadian Physicist asserts that there is no correlation of earth's temperature with CO2. Instead, he has found a striking correlation of temperature to cosmic radiation and CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). The total amount of CFCs decreased around 2000, and "correspondingly, the global surface temperature has also dropped. In striking contrast, the CO2 level has kept rising since 1850 and now is at its largest growth rate." Note: Cosmic radiation has long been thought to play a role in earth's climate. The role of CFCs, however, is a new hypothesis. Is the decline of CFCs and temperature since 2000 a coincidence or did the CFCs play a role. Only further study will answer this question.    
Scientist Need to Speak Up. Washington Post, January 3, 2010. Since the CRU's hacked emails were released in late November last year, America's distrust of scientists jumped to 40 percent. Nearly 60 percent of Republicans now distrust scientists. Note: As we have feared, one of the great casualties of the global warming debacle has been America's trust in science. The solution for this alarming distrust? Amazingly, the article calls upon scientists to speak up. Da? Isn't that what the hacked emails said they were doing? The emails clearly showed an incredible effort to control what was released to the public. Yet, the Post article asks that "mainstream" scientists speak out like the skeptics are doing. When will it occur to them that the skeptics are the mainstream of science, and the only reason the apocalyptic view of global warming has legs at all is because the mainstream media only parrot the propaganda from those scientists that got caught red-handed in climategate?    
Desert Vistas Vs. Solar Power. New York Times, December 21, 2009. Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) has introduced legislation to create a million acre national monument in the Mojave Desert in southeast California – prime land for solar farms. The move has successfully blocked the building of 13 big solar and wind farms – even if the bill never passes. Although power brokers who stand to earn tens of billions of dollars from these projects are crying fowl, Feinstein's actions might have substantially benefited the nation – for a change. Wind and solar power is enormously expensive. Solar power can cost up to 35 times that of coal (probably about 10 times as much as coal in the sunny Mohave Desert) and it would require a swath of wind turbines a mile wide from Los Angeles to San Francisco to supply the same power as one coal-fired electrical generating plant.    
Climate Change 101: Does CO2 Cause Global Warming? Examiner, December 30, 2009. In an interview with Dr. Fred Singer, one of the leading atmospheric physicists in the world, on CO2, Dr. Singer reminds us that CO2 is essential for life on earth and calling CO2 a pollutant is silly. The EPA's endangerment ruling was based on the indefensible claims of the IPCC, which has been shown to be politically motivated and biased. CO2 only becomes dangerous to health at concentrations 20 times that of today. If carbon dioxide caused global warming, the greatest concentrations would be in the upper troposphere where it would cause the greatest warming. Numerous studies have shown this to be false.    
Hacked Emails Show Systematic Pattern of Deliberate Climate Distortion. December 19-20. As more of the 1000 plus hacked CRU emails are read, a shocking pattern of deliberate corruption of global warming research and reporting is emerging. An American Thinker posting of "A Climatology Conspiracy" reveals a series of emails detailing how the CRU group conspired with the editor of the International Journal of Climatology to delay publication for over a year of a peer-reviewed article clearly showing computer climate models do not predict reality. The delay allowed the CRU group time to write a vitriolic, but knowingly false and un-reviewed, rebuttal reminiscent of the Medieval Inquisition. Another article in the Financial Post, "Lawrence Solomon: Wikipedia's Climate Doctor," details how the emails show Lawrence Solomon got to be Wikipedia's gatekeeper on global warming information and how he then rewrote 5,428 climate articles, and totally deleted another 500, thereby purging any information that cast doubt on the mantra that man caused global warming. One of the casualties of his eraser was the Medieval Optimum 1000 years ago even though hundreds of research papers showed the temperature was about 1½o warmer than it is today. "The Science Mantra" published by the National Review details how the deletion of the surface temperature raw data, and the subsequent cover-up revealed by the emails, shows that scientists, politicians and the media will do anything to ensure the continuation of a theory that builds their ego and personal agendas. One only has to look back to Galileo and Columbus to witness the damage "scientific" consensus can do to distort reality.    
Fraud in Europe's Cap and trade System a 'Red Flag,' Critics Say. Fox News, December 19, 2009. Europol, the EU's "FBI," has uncovered massive corruption throughout the entire European carbon trading system that involves 90 percent of all carbon trading. This corruption involved Europe's value added tax, something that proponents of cap and trade in the US say is not applicable to a US system, if the Senate passes cap and trade in the US. Critics say that corruption in California's 1990s cap and trade efforts provide an example of what could happen in the US. The EPA and Justice Department are not prepared to handle this kind of giant Bernie Madoff-like scheme. Potentially worse, political corruption is almost guaranteed whereby some industries/companies are favored by giving them more carbon credits while others are penalized by cutting the number of allocated credits. Note: this is something we have been warning of for over a year.     
Obama Calls Global Warming Agreement an "Unprecedented Breakthrough." ABC News, December 18, 2009. As we predicted, mainstream media outlets are proclaiming Obama pulled out a "breakthrough" late Friday night in Copenhagen by hammering out a last second agreement with China on carbon reduction goals. Obama claimed that "for the first time in history, all major economies have come together to accept their responsibility to take action to confront the threat of climate change." Details of the miracle agreement are sketchy, but China agreed to transparency of its actions and the US agreed to hard emission reduction targets. These are two of the major sticking points that collapsed the Copenhagen talks. They also agreed to limit global temperature rise to no more than 2oC, something that was already agreed too. The problem is that it is non-binding. Even so CNN reporters were giddy Friday night with the hopes this would provide the impetus to push the Senate to pass its cap and trade legislation. Stay tuned.    
Czech President Klaus: Global Warming a 'New Religion.' Fox News, December 18, 2009. President Vaclav Klaus of the Czech Republic claimed in Copenhagen that global warming is a 'new religion," not a science.... This is a religion which tells us that the people are responsible for the current, very small increase in temperatures. And they should be punished." Often called the Margaret Thatcher of Central Europe, Klaus claimed the issue was perfect for politicians to pontificate and spend money, but not solve anything Since their mistake won't be revealed until 2020 or even 2200, the voters cannot punish them. In the meantime, rent seekers will grow fat off the government trough; which means the taxpayers backs. This "irrational ideology" could even impede civilization, he says. Note: it would, not could, impede civilization.    
Leaders, Activists Throwing in the Towel in Copenhagen? Fox News, December 18, 2009. The Copenhagen climate conference has apparently collapsed without an agreement amide an atmosphere of distrust. The main sticking points are China's refusal for verification, the US refusal for immediate and deeper carbon emission cuts, and some Third World nations holding out for $200 billion a year in assistance, after the US and the EU promised at least $100 billion. Congressman Joe Barton, (R-TX) said this was "greenmail" after Venezuelan President Chaves owes this to the world after "raping the planet." The biggest casualty may be Obama's political credibility. At last report Obama was still meeting with China, so watch out for a "miracle" being pulled out of the hat to save the day. In the meantime, Fox also reports a number of countries, led by France and Britain are moving forward to create a new, global environmental regulator they call "International Environmental Governance." This effort, under way since the mid 1990s, now seems to be gaining traction. Note: We have been following this since 1999.    
Developed Nations Hide Nefarious Aims under Green Cloak. Business Day, December 17, 2009. We have heard the past week and a half that global warming will kill tens of thousands of people in Third World Nations. However, Third World nations do not see it that way (except when they are trying to extort money out of the US). For decades these poor nations have viewed environmental groups from rich nations as waging a campaign to prevent them from ever getting out of abject poverty. They believe Copenhagen is a plan of the developed nations to maintain their living standards, while keeping the developing world in a state of destitution. This is nothing more than neo-colonialism or financial imperialism. Poverty will kill far more people than global warming ever could.    
Little Hope for UN Climate Deal. Fox News, December 17, 2009. As the heads of state began negotiating today, there is little hope of something substantive coming out of the meetings. However, the Christian Science Monitor notes that the negotiations during the 1997 Kyoto meeting that led to the Kyoto Protocol, were seemingly hopeless in the last three days and they hammered out the protocol at the last minute. Still unresolved are emission targets, aid to Third World countries and enforcement (including tariffs). Fox News reported that Secretary of State Clinton has agreed this morning that the US would contribute up to $10 billion of the joint $100 billion per year aid package to Third World Nations. The aid, however, is conditional on China agreeing to sign the agreement. That is in response to Politico reporting today the announcement this morning that China would not sign the agreement. However, China's announcement could be a negotiating tactic, which is common for China. If they hold firm, it will be a major blow to the Democrats who have already passed a draconian cap and trade bill in the House, and are well on their way to doing so in the Senate. President Obama arrives tomorrow. Note: the Earth's future literally hangs on what happens the next 24-36 hours.    
Prospect of Global Warming Pact Fades in Copenhagen. Bloomberg, December 16, 2009. Envoys from China, the U.S., the European Union and India, the world’s top polluters, have bickered, quarreled and walked out during talks among 193 nations. They’ve left presidents and prime ministers a choice between a fudge or a flop for the accord that the United Nations framed as the most comprehensive deal to curb global warming. Third World nations, led by China, have walked out because of a secret deal between developed nations last week to force the developing nations to commit economic suicide. The new deal would require steep reductions in greenhouse emissions with minimal financial aid from the developed nations. In addition, the aid, rather than going through the UN to the Third World, would instead go to the IMF and World Bank for distribution.  The Third World believes these entities have looted poorer countries with crippling debts that cannot be paid back, forcing the countries to hand over their natural resources and infrastructure to the globalists. This neo-colonialism is something we have been warning about for years. Note: Even though climate agreements may fall short, watch for language implementing global governance.    
Most Back a Treaty on Global Warming. USA Today, December 14, 2009. (This is a long summary, but bear with us as it is very important) A solid majority (58%-38%) of Americans support the idea of a global treaty that would require the US to reduce significantly greenhouse gas emissions. This tracks well with a November Roper Poll that shows that 58% also support cap and trade in the US Senate. In the Roper Poll, 66% believed that they knew a moderate to a great deal about global warming. However, it is obvious they are woefully ignorant. When the Roper Poll also asked if they would support cap and trade legislation that would raise their electricity costs by a mere $10 a month, 59% opposed the legislation. When asked if the legislation raised their power bills by $25/mo., 78% opposed it. Analysis after analysis has shown that cap and trade would double the cost of electricity, increase gasoline costs by at least 50 percent and eventually cost every family many thousands of dollars a year. Rather than being knowledgeable about the issue these results show the American people to be very uninformed. Their knowledge depends entirely upon the mainstream media which has dogmatically and blatantly shown only one side of this complex issue.

Oklahoma Senator Plans to Rain on Climate Talks. USA Today, December 14, 2009. Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., who has called global warming a "hoax," plans to travel this week to Copenhagen. He'll stay just long enough — as few as three hours — to tell heads of state that the Senate will not pass an energy bill that would limit greenhouse gas emissions...."We know (the bill) is never going to go to a vote," Inhofe said in a recent interview. "It's dead. It's gone … I'm not going to allow them to think America is going to do something it's not."    
Global Warming Talks Hit Hurdle. AP, December 13, 2009. At the 192-nation United Nations climate conference in Copenhagen, the European Union, Japan and Australia joined the United States in criticizing a draft global-warming pact that says major developing nations must rein in greenhouse gases, but only if they have outside financing. Rich nations want to require developing nations to limit emissions, with or without financial help.    
The Little Man Behind the Curtain. Las Vegas Review-Journal, December 13, 2009. (A salient opinion column) The big casualty of Climategate is not the rejection of the science supporting man-caused global warming, but science itself. "Because 'science' said so, all the world was about to undertake a vast reordering of human behavior at almost unimaginable financial cost." "What those [in the CRU] have accomplished is to require that the world now presume, in self-defense, that any state-funded 'science' is little more than government-funded propaganda to justify taxing us, regulating us and advancing national socialism under a new, green flag."    
Copenhagen Global Warming Draft Pints to Hard Bargaining Ahead. Christian Science Monitor, December 11, 2009. Developed nations agree not to let global temps rise above 2oC while developing nations want the maximum to be 1.5oC. Midterm targets (starting in 2013) would range of 25-40 percent reduction from 1990 levels while long-term reductions range from 50-95 percent reduction. There is general agreement that developed nations would provide $10 billion per year between 2010 and 2012, and should be increased to $100 billion starting in 2013. The latter agreement will be hammered out next week when the heads of state arrive. Note: This more than expected a month ago, so watch what happens next week.    
Al Gore--Warming Skeptics in "Air of Unreality." CBS News, December 10, 2009. Former Vice President Al Gore said today that the evidence of global warming is unequivocal and that those who claim otherwise -- such as Sarah Palin -- "persist in an air of unreality." Note: Al Gore is 180 degrees wrong on every scientific statement. It is hard to understand how he and others can say these things in the face of real science. He claims skeptics live in unreality. Skeptics say Gore does. The science supports the skeptics. See www.nocapandtrade.us to learn more about the real science vs. the agenda.    
UN Climate Chief Cashes in on Carbon Trading. WorldNetDaily, December 11, 2009. A Mumbai-based Indian multinational conglomerate with business ties to Rajendra K. Pachauri, the chairman since 2002 of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, stands to make several hundred million dollars in European Union carbon credits simply by closing a steel production facility in Britain with the loss of 1,700 jobs. The Tata Group to receive $2 billion for plant closure. Again, cap and trade breeds corruption. It is reported Al Gore will become a billionaire if cap and trade passes in the US.    
Beyond Debate. Times Higher Education, December 11, 2009. Is belief in global-warming science another example of the "madness of crowds"? That strange but powerful social phenomenon, first described by Charles Mackay in 1841, turns a widely shared prejudice into an irresistible "authority", not unlike the Inquisition. Could it indeed represent the final triumph of irrationality?    
Obligatory Global Warming Article. Portland Examiner, December 9, 2009. Global warming has become fully politicized and ideologued. Politicians and the politically connected who stand to gain vast power, vast wealth, and/or vast ego expansion simply don't care about science, other than using "science" (i.e., tax grant-purchased sciency-sounding pronouncements) as a means to their ends.    
ClimateGate: The Scandal Spreads. London Telegraph, November 26, 2009. Must Read. ClimateGate, it turns out, is not the only data repository that is fudging the data. New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) has long proclaimed that New Zealand's temperature's have warmed 50 percent faster than the rest of the world. It turns out that a huge fudge factor has been applied that made earlier temperatures cooler and recent temperatures warmer. The graphs resulting from the massaged data and raw data are compared, and they will blow your mind.    
Famous Weather Scientist: Climategate 'Tip of Iceberg'. "The recent 'ClimateGate' revelations coming out of the UK University of East Anglia are but the tip of a giant iceberg of a well organized international climate warming conspiracy that has been gathering momentum for the last 25 years,"    
Copenhagen Climate Summit in Disarray. Guardian UK, December 8, 2009. The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing countries reacted furiously to leaked documents that show world leaders will next week be asked to sign an agreement that hands more power to rich countries and sidelines the UN's role in all future climate change negotiations. Note: This is not necessarily good news. Stay tuned!    

Obama Has Extreme EPA CO2 Regulations in Pocket for Copenhagen After All. Fox News, December 7, 2009. The EPA will announce today that CO2 and other greenhouse gases are a threat to public health and have thousands of pages of new regulations to curb it. It is designed to give Obama a major coo at the Copenhagen meeting that started today. The US envoy to Copenhagen called Climategate a "small blip," as expected. Note: This has been in the works for two years. The EPA regs are far worse than the Senate cap and trade bill ever hoped to be. For background read "Twilight Zone to Lunacy"

    

Exposing the Global Warming Lie. nocapandtrade.us, December 5, 2009. An in-depth review by Dr. Michael Coffman on the real facts and truth behind the Climate Research Unit's effort to manipulate climate data and shape the global warming debate. Note: Important background as Copenhagen gets underway amongst proclamations that the hacked emails do not change the treat of man-made global warming.

   

Liberal Media Continue to Suppress Phony Global Warming Scam. Examiner.com, December 4, 2009. "On Fox news today it was pointed out that neither CBS, nor NBC, nor ABC had any news that covered this enormously important news clip regarding the emails that show the evidence of corruption in the global warming scam. The liberal media appears more interested in propaganda than fact. This is clearly evident in their blatant suppression of pertinent news that counters their political philosophy. It is sad to see this level of corruption.

    

NASA Also Hiding Climate Data? Washington Times, December 3, 2009. Christopher C. Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, said NASA has refused for two years to provide information under the Freedom of Information Act that would show how the agency has shaped its climate data and explain why the agency has repeatedly had to correct its data dating as far back as the 1930s. He is about to sue NASA.

    

Fallout Over "Climategate" Data Leak Grows. CBS News, December 2, 2009. Ripples created by the disclosure of global warming files now being called "Climategate" continue to spread, with the temporary removal of Phil Jones, its head. Congressional attention growing with calls to freeze all action.

    

Australia's Parliament Defeats Global Warming Bill. AP, December 2, 2009. Australia's plans for an emissions trading system to combat global warming were scuttled Wednesday in Parliament, handing a defeat to a government that had hoped to set an example at international climate change talks next week.

    

UK Climate Scientist to Temporarily Step Down. AP, December 1, 2009. LONDON — Britain's University of East Anglia says the director of its prestigious Climatic Research Unit is stepping down (finally) pending an investigation into allegations that he overstated the case for man-made climate change. Note: the hacked or released emails painted Jones and his associates as schemers who were not above cooking the books while demonizing all opposition; even to the point of getting them fired.

   

On Climate Data, Trends and Peer Review. New York Times, November 30, 2009. CRU is not the only group in the world that is tracking the change in global-average near-surface temperature. There are three other groups; NOAA; NASA, JMA. Note: The other three data sets track the CRU data quite well. However, additional studies have shown that data manipulation and the heat island effect greatly skews the NOAA and NASA data so that it shows a much higher warming than reality. Published articles clearly show the temperature rise since 1980 would be cut in half if corrected.

    

Global Warming Fraud Uncovered. Tribune.com, November 27, 2009. Many scientists have tried to obtain raw data utilized by CRU associated scientists. They have been repeatedly denied the data. The emails clearly show this is deliberate and done to hide the data manipulation the CRU has done to show man-caused warming. Exposing the fraud is important because the group of researchers at CRU is heavily involved in the U.N. IPPC and has been considered the “authoritative source” for policies and procedures currently under development with the United Nations, Great Britain, the United States and other countries.

    

Scientists Forged Climate Research to Create Warming Hoax. In Flanders Fields, November 20-27. "The general picture of the series of emails is one of conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, manipulation of data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, and organized resistance to disclosure." Note: Read for yourself. A to-date list of all the damning emails in the authors' original emails can be found at Bishops Media.

    

Global Warming Is Dead, Soon to Follow--Mainstream Media. Political Lore, November 26, 2009. "The lack of media attention to this so called “climategate” is unbelievable. I do not even know if we can even call it “climategate”, as nobody seems to acknowledge that it has happened. Of course Fox News has brought it up, as well as numerous talk show hosts but, there has been no trace of coverage almost anywhere else."

    

Cap and Trade is Dead. Wall Street Journal, Opinion, November 26, 2009. "The more than 3,000 emails and documents from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (CRU) that have found their way to the Internet have blown the lid off the "science" of manmade global warming. CRU is a nerve center for many of those researchers who have authored the United Nations' global warming reports and fueled the political movement to regulate carbon."

    

Global Warming Accelerates; Climategate Rumbles On. Reuters Blogs, November 25, 2009. Note: The article presents a reasonably balanced discussion of the recent hacked emails (now called climategate), and a new report authored by 26 scientists, some of whom are directly involved in climategate. The report is based on fear; the polar icecap is melting and ocean levels are rising. Neither of these are true, but they make for good fear mongering of the type implied in the hacked emails.

    

Lawmakers Probe Climate Emails. Wall Street Journal, November 24, 2009. Congressional Republicans have started investigating climate scientists whose hacked emails suggest they tried to squelch dissenting views about global warming. They are focusing on John Holdren, science advisor to Obama and one of the correspondents, and any set of conclusions that have been made suspect by the revelations that have been used by the EPA and others in their policy recommendations. Note: This exposure seems to be gaining traction. Their are numerous calls for the head of the CRU, Phil Jones to resign..

    

Lord Lawson Calls for Public Inquiry into UEA Global Warming Data 'manipulation.' London Telegraph, November 23, 2009. This morning Lord Lawson demanded that the apparent deception at the University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit (CRU) be fully investigated. He claimed that the credibility of the university's world-renowned CRU - and British science - were under threat.

    

E-Mail Leak Turns Up Heat on Global Warming Advocates. Boston Globe, November 21, 2009. "In an embarrassing blow to the movement to combat global warming, hackers have posted hundreds of e-mails from a world-renowned British institute that show researchers colluding to exaggerate warming and undermine skeptics. The NYT contacted researchers who confirmed they had sent or received some of the most damning 3mails, including a discussion of how to use 'trick' to...hide the decline.'" Note: there are dozens of articles on this story around the world today.

   

Hacked emails Reveal Massive Global Warming Fraud. WorldNetDaily, November 20, 2009. Must Read Emails and documents hacked from the University of East Angelica's Climate Research Unit show a systematic pattern of deliberately manipulating data to show man-caused global warming. They also had a plan to discredit skeptics who disagreed with the man-caused hypothesis. This is the same institution we reported last September 23rd who keeps all of the global climate records and deliberately deleted the raw data so no one could verify their results. Note: This is huge. It discredits most of the global warming research done in the past 25 years!

    

Some Scientists 'Baffled' by Lack of Global Warming. The Dakota Voice, November 19, 2009. "It’s no wonder the number of people who believe the man-caused global warming hypothesis has been dwindling. As people begin to push themselves away from the table of media pop-culture pap and start to learn a little about the issue, they quickly realize the whole ball of hysteria just doesn’t pass the smell test of credibility."

    

Senator Inhofe Declares Victory in Speech on Global Warming. Tulsa News, November 19, 2009.  “I proudly declare 2009 as the ‘Year of the Skeptic,’ the year in which scientists who question the so-called global warming consensus are being heard... Until this year, any scientist, reporter or politician who dared raise even the slightest suspicion about the science behind global warming was dismissed and repeatedly mocked.’’

    

Clean Energy is Pure Fantasy. Personal Liberty Digest, November 18, 2009. Physicist Howard Hayden at the University of Connecticut sums up the fallacy of clean energy: “Imagine a one-mile swath of wind turbines extending from San Francisco to Los Angeles. That land area would be required to produce as much power around the clock as one large coal, natural gas, or nuclear power station that normally occupies about one square kilometer.” Solar energy isn't any better. It can cost 10 to 20 times more than electricity produced by coal.

    

Climate Change Sounds Much Sweeter. Examiner.com, November 17, 2009. Cap and trade is something that will have astronomical economic repercussions; and beyond that, all that most people probably know about what it is as well as its implications is that it has an obscure connection to President Obama's administration's 'green initiative'. Note: in other words, ignorance about this issue reigns supreme. You can also participate in a vote in this article.

    

Global Warming; Elusive, Economically Problematic for American Taxpayers. The DePauw, November 17, 2009. When the earth started cooling ten years ago, alarmists rebranded global warming into "climate change." "Armed with inconclusive evidence, incorrect climate models and a movie starring Al Gore, eco-groups embarked on a new crusade: to convince the world that Earth's cooling was only temporary and would eventually lead to greater warming in the future if immediate 'action' was not taken."

    

Asian Cold Water on Global Warming. Investor's Business Daily, November 16, 2009. "If there's good news from Saturday's APEC summit, it's Asia's ninja blow to a global climate pact in Copenhagen. The dynamic region recognized the economy-killer for what it was and refused to commit suicide."

    

What Does Delaying Climate Change Agreement Mean? LA Times, November 16, 2009. "The House has already passed a climate bill. Scaled-back action in Copenhagen could help push a Senate bill over the top by securing pledges for emissions reductions from China and India, and thereby reassuring moderate Rust Belt Democrats." Be alert!

    

World Leaders Will Delay Climate Change Agreement. New York Times, November 14, 2009. President Obama and other world leaders have decided to postpone a climate change agreement at Copenhagen, agreeing instead to make it the mission of the Copenhagen conference to reach a less specific “politically binding” agreement that would punt the most difficult issues into the future. Note: this is great news, but watch out for the substitute.

    

Global Warming Is Not Our Fault, Say Most Britons. London Times, November 14, 2009. Only 41 per cent of Britons accept as an established scientific fact that global warming is taking place and is largely man-made. Almost a third (32 per cent) believe that the link is not yet proved; 8 per cent say that it is environmentalist propaganda to blame man and 15 per cent say that the world is not warming. Note: this is about the same breakdown with American polls.

    

Obama Struggles to Turn Global Warming Talk Into Action. Washington Examiner, November 13, 2009. President Obama meets with the world's biggest polluter, China, next week. His meeting to discuss Copenhagen with Chinese President Hu Jintao will likely produce nothing. However, China wants to destroy the US, so he may give a little to get the US to support and sign a strong Copenhagen agreement.

    

Climate Bill Likely on the Shelf For Rest of the Year. Wall Street Journal, November 11, 2009. Key Senate Democrats Tuesday said it is unlikely there will be any more major committee action on climate-change legislation this year, the strongest indication yet that a comprehensive bill to cut greenhouse-gas emissions won't be voted on until at least next year. Note: While probably true, watch for a backdoor attempt to get it rammed through just before the Christmas break.

    

Global Warming Skeptic Tells Group That Cure Is Worse Than Problem. Huntsville Times, November 11, 2009. Dr. John Christy, one of the leading atmospheric physicists in the world and, along with Dr. Roy Spencer, developed the satellite sensor array for earth's temperatures, provides an easy to understand reason why science doesn't support global warming alarms. Even if it did, he said, "current proposals to fix things won't work and might make life worse."

    

Don't Buy Those Carbon Credits Just Yet. Washington Examiner, November 10, 2009. Both the House and Senate cap and trade bills have provisions giving the president sweeping powers to do whatever necessary to stop CO2 emissions if the atmospheric levels climb above 450 ppm. While the current average today is about 385 ppm, it could peak above 450 next year.

   

Australian Prime Minister Goes Hysterical Over Global Warming. New American, November 9, 2009.  According to PM Rudd, opponents of the UN climate change treaty are "Provoking fear campaigns in every country they can; blocking or delaying domestic legislation in every country they can; with the objective of slowing and if possible destroying the momentum towards a global deal on climate change." Provoking fear? The only ones provoking fear are Rudd, Gore, the UN and their ilk.

    

Coalition MPs Deny Man-made Climate Change. ABC News, November 9, 2009. The Australian Senate already voted down Australia's cap and trade legislation last August. After the tirade of Prime Minister Rudd on August 6 in which he accused the Senate of holding the world ransom, the Senate again affirmed that most of the Senate liberals do not believe man is causing global warming.

    

All Hope is Lost for Copenhagen Climate Treaty.  London Times, November 6, 2009. A full agreement at Copenhagen next month will be DOA. The full agreement will not be ready for at least a year, say officials. The best that can be hoped for is for non-binding agreements on emission cuts and payments to poor countries. All evidence supports this conclusion, but be on guard for a "last minute" breakthrough that opens the door to global governance.

   

Red-faced Times Abandons Fishy Eco Ad. The London Register, November 6, 2009. The London Times refused to run an eco-ad claiming the oceans would be fishless by 2049. This is the second time in a month that a major news outlet has challenged an eco-disaster story. In the past the main stream media has heralded all kinds of eco-disaster stories without checking the facts. The first rebuke happened a month ago when the BBC published an article on global warming, actually admitting there was hard evidence man was not causing it.

   

Climate Change Belief Given Same Legal Status as Religion. London Telegraph, November 3, 2009. We have long known that many global warming zealots believe man-caused global warming with religious fervor. Now a British judge (the same one who ruled Al Gore's film was political and partisan) has granted such zealousness religious protection. The ruling denies the defendant’s claim of scientific proof, but opens the door to a myriad of discrimination lawsuits.  

    

Kilimanjaro Ice Melt Is Not Global Warming. Examiner.com, November 4, 2009. The retreating snows of Kilimanjaro has long been the poster child proving man-caused global warming. It turns out that lack of precipitation for centuries has been slowly eroding the snow and ice cover as the ice sublimates (evaporates). There is very little evidence that any of the ice retreat was due to melting.

   

US Puts Climate Debate on Hold. Guardian, November 3, 2009. Harry Reid gave the US a breather by announcing any consideration of the cap and trade bill in the Senate will be postponed for 5 weeks after German Chancellor Angela Merkel admonished the Senate to pass it before the Copenhagen meeting next month. While this also seems to put the final nail in the Copenhagen coffin, be alert. Something seems to be brewing behind closed doors.

    

Consensus Is A Fake. Climate Depot, October 29, 2009. A letter signed by 160 distinguished Physicists of the American Physical Society was sent to the US Senate strongly asserting the "claim of consensus is fake, designed to stampede you into actions that will cripple our economy, and which you will regret for many years. There is no consensus." Remember, only 4 scientists within the 2007 IPCC process actually agreed with the so-called consensus document.

    

EU Strikes Climate Funding Deal. BBC. October 30, 2009. The EU agreed to give third world nations €100 billion a year to help them reduce their carbon emissions. It's a long ways from being a done deal, however. So far it is totally voluntary, which means if any of the EU members cough up anything at all, it will not be much. On the other hand it is sufficient to demand the US put up nearly $150. It is still doubtful it will be sufficient to get China and India to sign Copenhagen.

   

Europe Puts Figure on Green Aid to Push Climate Change Deal. The Guardian. Europe seems ready to put up €100 billion to assist third world nations conform to the new Copenhagen agreement. Europe demands the US do the same which would convert into nearly $150 billion. Lord Monkton was apparently right; a last minute deal seems to be underway to ensure acceptance of the new Copenhagen agreement and the institution of global governance.

    

The Sun Defines the Climate. Climate Depot, October 27, 2009. A prominent Russian scientist believes "we should fear a deep temperature drop -- not catastrophic global warming." He predicts serious economic, social, demographic and political consequences of this global temperature drop. Editor's note: this is probably premature, but given the sun is heading for a record quiet period, he may have a point.

    

The Dark Side of Green. Newsweek, October 24, 2009. Governments are spending over $100 billion a year on renewable energy. In the US, over 1500 lobbying groups have spent more than $20 billion lobbying Congress to subsidize green energy even more. The only real tangible thing all this has produced in Europe, which has been doing this for more than 5 years, is corruption. Rather than more jobs and lower costs, jobs have been lost and it is getting more and more expensive. The solution? Let the free markets take over.

    

US Sovereignty and the Climate Summit. American Thinker, October 21, 2009. More details on the Copenhagen agreement suggest that all the squabbling so far might have been a ruse. It is confirmed that the language of the agreement does indeed establish a world government, massive income redistribution, and unaccountable enforcement mechanism. God help us!

    

Pain With No Gain. Investors.com, October 19, 2009. Proponents of cap-and-trade legislation have tried to convince the public that the regime would cost families only "about a postage stamp a day." The real cost might be closer to next-day delivery rates. All this pain will not even yield a measurable drop in earth's temperatures by 2050.

   

Antarctic Ice Melt at Lowest Levels in Satellite Era. World Climate Report, October 6, 2009. Antarctica's summer sea ice melt was the lowest ever recorded in the Oct-Jan 2008-2009 summer. That means there has been less melting, even on the continent, which puts the cataclysmic forecasts of sea level rises and costal flooding in grave doubt. Maybe that is why this good news was not published in any major news media in the world.

    
Fewer Americans See Solid Evidence of Global Warming. Pew Research Center, October 22, 2009. Only 36 percent of Americans now believe that there is solid evidence that man is causing global warming. That's down from 47 percent in April and nearly 80 percent several years ago. That's the good news. The bad news is that 50 percent strongly support cap and trade legislation (32 percent strongly), and 55 percent don't even know what cap and trade is. Help them be educated by going to nocapandtrade.us.    
West Antarctic Ice Loss Overestimated by NASA Satellites. The Register, October 20, 2009. For years we have been hearing that the Antarctic Icecap has been melting at an unheard of rate. It turns out that the icecap may not be melting that fast. A new ground truth check of NASA's measuring techniques indicate NASA may be way off and the icecap may not be melting any faster than it has for the past 20,000 years.    

As Time Runs Out for Copenhagen, Nations May Settle for Interim Agreement. New York Times, October 20, 2009. A full-fledged treaty coming out of Copenhagen is highly unlikely. In its place it is likely that an legally binding "interim" agreement will be signed by Obama. This appears to be the application of the Hegelian Dialectic -- suggesting an outrageous "solution" to a problem and then settling on a "compromise" which was the goal all along. If Lord Monkton (below) is correct, this interim agreement could be as bad as a full treaty.

    

Copenhagen Goal Is a One-World Government. WorldNetDaily, October 17, 2009. MUST READ! For the past several months we have been reporting that the Copenhagen Conference in December was going to fail. If Lord Monkton, former British science advisor to PM Margaret Thatcher, is right, something will be pulled out of the hat at the last minute to convince most of the nations to accept the new Copenhagen Protocol. That something would include Obama ceding a huge chunk of US sovereignty to the UN and agreeing to a massive income redistribution scheme. Lord Monkton has read the consensus agreement for the conference and the first purpose will be to create a world government, the second would be the transfer of wealth from the developed to the undeveloped nations (including China), and the third purpose would be enforcement. While we have known for years this was a long-term goal, there has been heretofore no indication it would be at the heart of this protocol. To say this is sobering is an understatement.

   
UK Global Warming Ad Draws Hundreds of Complaints--To Scary for Kids?  bnet.com, October 16, 2009. Hundreds of viewers have complained about the ads sponsored by the British Government that are designed to scare people, especially children, into believing man is causing global warming and we must do everything we can to stop it, no matter what the cost. The UK's Advertising Standards Authority will decide next week on whether to 'investigate' the ad.    

EU Blames U.S. for Climate Stalemate. Business Week, October 15, 2009. Much to their horror, globalists and environmentalists finally realize Copenhagen will be still-born. Now comes all the finger pointing. As usual, the EU is blaming the U.S. for its failure. In actuality, it is China and India, plus the third world nations which have to increasingly use fossil fuel energy to pull their citizens out of abject poverty. They want the developed nations to pay for it to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars to which the developed nations have said no. So the third world nations have said no to Copenhagen--they literally cannot afford it. To somehow force them to do it is economic imperialism.

   

2009 Declared Year the Media Lost Faith in Man-made Warming Fears. Climate Depot, October 15, 2009. Climate Depot's March Morano provides a long list of main-stream news articles that are beginning to question the man-caused global warming mantra. While true, the last being from the BBC 5 days ago, don't expect the media to turn on the alarmist man-caused agenda. After all, most main-stream media have their reputations on the line and they are not going to suddenly discredit themselves. At best we can expect a slowly increasing number of articles that question the long-held mantra. At worst, the mainstream media will cave into political pressure to revive the flagging agenda, especially as the Senate cap and trade bill begins to hit the news, probably next month.

   

The British are Turning on Climate Change. Financial Post, October 13, 2009. Great Britain has been strongly supportive of the belief man is causing global warming and strong sacrifices must be made to stop it. Strong legislation has been passed and students are indoctrinated on man's culpability. Polls show that the public no longer buys the decades of unrelenting propaganda of catastrophe. Like the US, belief that man is causing global warming has dropped below 50 percent. Therefore, the government is launching a £6 million ad campaign to scare the public back into fearing global warming.

   

What Happened to Global Warming? BBC, October 9, 2009. The BBC, an arch man-caused warming alarmist news organization, published this astonishing article Saturday that has set the mainstream media on their collective rear-ends. The BBC still hasn't got it quite right, but it basically admits the earth is cooling and the science is NOT settled. The BBC denies it has changed its position, but the fact that it has published both sides of this issue has sent a shockwave 'round the world. Will the New York Times be far behind? Not likely.

   

UK Ministers Launch Advertising Propaganda Campaign on Prime-Time TV. London Times Online, October 9, 2009. In what has to be the biggest government sponsored propaganda effort in the 21st century, "climate change sceptics are to be targeted in a hard-hitting [UK] advertising campaign that will be the first to state unequivocally that Man is causing global warming and endangering life on Earth." There is still no empirical scientific evidence to support this propaganda.

   
G8 States Could Face Class Actions on Climate Change. Irish Times, October 8, 2009. It was inevitable. By politicizing global warming and dogmatically sticking to the man-caused theory in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Third World nations are likely to sue the US and other developed nations of "planetary malpractice". Given the hatred of America, any case brought forward will undoubtedly succeed, resulting in fines of tens, perhaps hundreds of billions of dollars. This is insanity.    

Europe Fails Chemistry Test as Industry Heads East. London Times Online, October 7, 2009. "Billions of dollars of EU investment in heavy industry, notably refining and petrochemicals, is moving east in search of lower costs — and carbon trading is making the money drain flow faster." Warning: the same thing will happen the US if the U.S. Senate passes our cap and trade legislation.

   

Antarctic Ice Melt at Lowest Levels Ever. World Climate Report, October 6, 2009. The Antarctic icecap didn't melt so much this past 2008-2009 summer. In fact, it was the smallest melting ever recorded since measurements began in 1979. Sea ice accumulation for the 2009 winter (now just ending) appears to also be heading for a record in ice growth. Along with the rebuilding of the polar icecap the past two years, the likelihood of ocean flooding is further reduced. In fact, Ocean levels appear to be leveling off or declining the past two years.

    
Hot Air Rising. Boston Herald, October 4, 2009. The Herald's editorial staff exposes the fallacies of the new Boxer/Kerry "821-page aggregation of environmentalist dreams, rhetoric and directives..." found in their cap and trade scheme. They note that the bill "never specifies how initial emission rights are to be distributed, unlike the House bill that doles them out as favors to get votes for passage. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the kind of corruption that will plague any cap and trade scheme that might pass.    

A New Scientific Scandal. The Register, October 2, 2009. The now obvious data manipulation that created the IPCC's Hockey Stick Curve is reaching the stage of a scandal in the scientific community. It puts into serious doubt a number of other peer-reviewed papers used by the IPCC. "The scandal has serious implications for public trust in science. The IPCC's mission is to reflect the science, not create it....When the IPCC was alerted to peer-reviewed research that refuted the idea, it declined to include it." Those who understand the IPCC process fully understand it is a fraud promoting a political agenda, not science.

   

Defects in Key Climate Data Uncovered. Financial Post, October 1, 2009. Dr. Ross McKitrick explains the history of the Hockey Stick graph and what it means. Concludes McKitrick: "I have been probing the arguments for global warming for well over a decade. In collaboration with a lot of excellent coauthors I have consistently found that when the layers get peeled back, what lies at the core is either flawed, misleading or simply non-existent. The surface temperature data is a contaminated mess with a significant warm bias, and as I have detailed elsewhere the IPCC fabricated evidence in its 2007 report to cover up the problem. Climate models are in gross disagreement with observations, and the discrepancy is growing with each passing year. The often-hyped claim that the modern climate has departed from natural variability depended on flawed statistical methods and low-quality data. The IPCC review process, of which I was a member last time, is nothing at all like what the public has been told: Conflicts of interest are endemic, critical evidence is systematically ignored and there are no effective checks and balances against bias or distortion."

   

Boxer Celebrates As She Launches Senate Fight Over Global warming. McClatchy, September 30, 2009. Senators Boxer and Kerry launch the Senate cap and trade bill called the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act. Although details will be revealed in future days, it calls for a 20 percent reduction in CO2 emissions by 2020, compared to only 15 percent for the House bill passed last June. Neither goal is possible with existing technology without electricity bills doubling for the American people.

    

More Blatant Fraud Discovered With the IPCC. Watts Up With That?, September 29, 2009. The Hockey Stick graph was first published in 1998 and instantly became the leading headline in newspapers, magazines and TV news worldwide. The graph showed a relatively flat temperature record for a thousand years with a very steep late twentieth century increase, hence the name. It was the centerpiece of the 2001 UN IPCC report. After 4 years of refusing to release the data that was used so it could be checked, the data was obtained another way and the authors were found to have used totally invalid statistics approach, which negated its results. Nonetheless, members of the IPCC and others stubbornly refused to abandon the graph. The original data was found this month to contain only cherry-picked data. When all the data was included, there was no sudden increase in earth's temperature in the late twentieth century. The entire hockey stick effort was a deliberate fraud--something that increasingly seems to be the case with scientists promoting man-caused global warming. 

   

Flawed Intelligence Guides the Obama Energy Plan. Washington Examiner, September 23, 2009. "...we have about 1 trillion barrels of recoverable oil shale, or about as much as the entire world’s known reserves. But [Interior Secretary] Salazar has stopped previously planned commercial leasing on government lands." Despite all the Congressional rhetoric about becoming energy independent, the White House and Congress are doing all they can to lock up cheap energy sources to force US citizens to depend on foreign supplies and extremely expensive renewable energy.

    

The Dog Ate Global Warming. nationalreviewonline.com, September 23, 2009. A MUST READ. We reported on August 13, 2009 that the British agency that stores all the original global temperature data supposedly lost that original data. It was speculated that the agency made this claim to keep climate skeptics from getting the data to analyze it. Patrick Michaels blows the lid off of this scam in this article. So what's the big deal? It now looks like the Senate will not consider the cap and trade bill this year (good), which will allow president Obama to authorize the EPA to issue a series of draconian regulations far worse than any cap and trade legislation (which is very, very bad). The already written EPA regulations are required by a Supreme Court ruling. In turn, the Court decision was based on the potentially corrupted temperature data, for which the original data no longer exists to challenge the decision. Very neat and tidy. Are we being blindsided?

    

Growth First, Climate Later. Financial Times, September 22, 2009. Copenhagen was essentially sidelined yesterday at another event, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon’s Climate Change Summit in New York. There, along with Chinese leader Hu Jintao, U.S. President Barack Obama more or less shuffled climate control policy off into the great dreamscape of unattainable plans and long range objectives. The world may be safe for another day.

 

  
US-EU Rift Clouds Climate Summit. Financial Times, September 22, 2009. A growing rift between the US and Europe is overshadowing Tuesday’s United Nations climate change summit in New York, further damping hopes for a breakthrough at the Copenhagen talks in December. The EU is blaming lack of action in the US Senate because of the focus on healthcare. The world is saved for another day.    
Earth Approaching Sunspot Records. Capital News, September 21, 2009. There is a feeling from some in the scientific community the Earth may be entering into a grand minimum, which is an extended period with low numbers of sunspots that creates cooler temperatures. The year without a summer, which was 1816, was during a grand minimum in 1800 to 1830 when Europe became cooler. Another grand minimum was in 1903 to 1913. Expect a colder winter this year.    
Obama to Shift Focus to Climate Change. Los Angeles Times, September 21, 2009. After months of almost single-minded focus on healthcare, President Obama is about to shift the White House spotlight to global warming -- first with a speech to the United Nations in New York on Tuesday, then later in the week at the G-20 economic conference in Pittsburgh.    
Pause in Arctic's Melting Trend. BBC News, September 17, 2009. The minimum arctic extent in 2009 was larger than either 2007 (the record ice retreat) or 2008. This shows a continuation of the recovery for the summer ice cap extent started in 2008. Although the article proclaims the melt-back will resume, it is very doubtful since the earth is now fully entrenched in a cooling cycle starting at the turn of the century.    

Treasury Department: Cap and Trade Will Yield Hundreds of Billions in Tax Revenues. Washington Times, September 15, 2009. Internal memos reveal that officials at the Treasury Department think cap-and-trade legislation would cost taxpayers $100 to $200 billion in taxes annually, while the public doesn't even know it is a tax. These memos reveal the duplicity of what is said publicly and what the government actually thinks will happen. The government claims it will only cost about a $100 per family per year while Treasuring figures it is over $2000 per family per year.

    

The Role of the Sun

Numerous major scientific articles have come out in the past few days describing the importance of the sun in earth's climate. In total they further reinforce the sun/earth's climate relationship.

When the Sun Goes Quiet Earth Shivers. The Sydney Morning Herald, September 13, 2009. The number of sunspots - dark and intensely magnetic blotches on the sun's surface - are at their lowest since 1913. During the past millennium, whenever the sun experienced long periods of low sunspot numbers, Earth had equally long, cold snaps. Crop failures, famine and pestilence follows.

Svensmark: Global Warming Stopped and a Cooling is Beginning. Jyllands-Posten, September 12, 2009. “It is likely that the current year’s number of blank days will be the longest in about 100 years.” Everything indicates that the Sun is going into some kind of hibernation, and the obvious question is what significance that has for us on Earth." No climate model has predicted this. Sevensmark is the Danish Physicist who discovered the cosmic ray/solar wind relationship. Well worth reading.

The Global Food Crisis Revisited. MarketOracle.co.uk, September 12, 2009. Historical trends in the Midwest indicate a severe drought occurs every 20 years or so (tree rings indicate this cycle has persisted for 600 years) – and it has been roughly 20 years since the last major drought. Some meteorologist also suggest a correlation between the sunspot cycle, the sun’s energy that reaches the earth, and long term weather trends – claiming the lack of sunspots can cause global cooling. An early freeze in the grain belt, or a disease such as UG-99 (a wheat stem rust now threatening India), could severely impact crop yields. An early freeze in the grain belt, or a disease such as UG-99 (a wheat stem rust now threatening India), could severely impact crop yields.

Atmospheric Solar Heat Amplifier Discovered. The Resilient Earth, September 11, 2009. "For decades, the supporters of CO2 driven global warming have discounted changes in solar irradiance as far too small to cause significant climate change.... A new study in Science demonstrates how two previously known mechanisms acting together amplify the Sun's impact in an unsuspected way."

Scientists Discover Surprise in Earth's Upper Atmosphere. UCLA News, September 9, 2009. "UCLA atmospheric scientists have discovered a previously unknown basic mode of energy transfer from the solar wind to the Earth's magnetosphere."

Are sunspots Disappearing? Astrobiology Magazine, September 8, 2009. "Solar activity can have a profound effect on the Earth's climate and biosphere. For instance, some studies indicate that sunspot activity could be linked to weather patterns on Earth. Understanding the behavior of the sun can help scientists determine what effects the solar cycle will have on Earth in the years to come"

    
 
 
 
 
 

The War Between Developed and Undeveloped Nations Heating Up

Europe Tamps Down Expectations on Climate Funds. New York Times, September 10, 2009. The EU says it will not give financial support to Third world Nations Unless they commit to serious CO2 reductions. On the other hand, many of them said they would not hurt their economies. Right now, it is a standoff.

Sarkozy Calls for Carbon Tax on Imports. Financial Times, September 10, 2009. Nicolas Sarkozy, the French President, vows to impose severe taxes (taffifs) on imports from countries that do not have valid climate legislations.

US Warns Climate Funding for Poor Nations "Wildly Unrealistic". Reuters, September 10, 2009. The US says funding for poor nations is "wildly unrealistic". At the same time the US delegation is saying the US must pass climate legislation this fall, even in the face of economic suicide if China and India do not join a climate pact.

India May Need $1 Trillion to Slow Emissions. Bloomberg, September 10, 2009. India may need to spend up to 1.1 trillion over the next 20 years to slow emissions of CO2; something it will not do.

There were many other articles like this. The Copenhagen meeting, once billed as the most important in the history of the world, will be a failure. The First World Nations are developing the message that is the Third World Nations fault; while the Third World Nations are going to be accusing the First World Nations. Everyone goes home guiltless, and since nothing will happen, the world is saved once again.

    

A Different Take on Global Warming. SeacoastOnline.com, September 8, 2009. More and more "experts" are now refuting the man-caused warming theory. "No amount of "carbon management" and associated "green" efforts will stop the Arctic ice from melting." So why are we about to pass legislation that will cost the US trillions of dollars and each family up to $5,000 a year by 2030?

    

Global Warming Theory Received Coolly. LJWorld.com, September 7, 2009. Researcher claims the Danish cosmic radiation/solar activity/temperature theory is correct. Cosmic radiation causes ionization in the lower earth's atmosphere, which in turn causes more low cloud formation, more solar reflection (albedo), and cooling oceans. An active sun produces solar winds which dampen the cosmic rays, hence less cloud formation and more solar radiation warming the oceans. Thirty-four years later the ocean currents shift (The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO)) and the earth's climate shifts. The PDO/AMO effect on earth's climate is highly correlated. Trouble is, almost no research money is put into this research while billions goes into CO2 research, which admittedly has a very poor correlation to climate. Of course, CO2 research scientists loudly criticize this research.

    

Africa Threatens Copenhagen Walkout Over Climate Reparations. Daily Nation, September 3, 2009. Africa has drawn a line in the sand; pay $400 billion annually or they walk out of the Copenhagen talks. Of course, the developed nations will refuse (or had better refuse), which will gut the talks resulting in hot air and meaningless commitments. The world is saved once again.

    
Poor Nations need 'Wartime' Support Against Climate Change Says UN. AFP, September 1, 2009. The UN claims developed nations (i.e. the US) must give $600 billion a year to developing nations to cover their costs of curbing CO2 emissions.
China's High Price for Cuts in Emissions. Financial Times, September 3, 2009. China claims that it will cost $438 billion a year to curb CO2 emissions.

These two articles set the playing field for the upcoming Copenhagen agreements in December. These statements are obviously grandstanding, but according to independent analyses, not by much. Meanwhile, the US has its head in the clouds and claims that it will not cost US citizens more than a hundred dollars a year per family. That doesn't even pass the smell test. Independent analyses clearly show that it will cost $4000 to $5000 per family by 2030. That's trillions of dollars for the entire country. As long as the US and Europe continue to claim global warming is a global disaster, economic ruin awaits everyone, further antagonizing the developing nations. It is time to tell the US Senate man is NOT causing global warming and to NOT PASS THE CAP AND TRADE LEGISLATION.

   

Is China Ready to Play Ball on Global Warming? Wall Street Journal, August 27, 2009. China continues to dangle a carrot in front of the US and Europe that it will join the Copenhagen accords this December to replace the Kyoto Protocol. This WSJ article hints at the deception the China is pulling on the West--give just enough hope that China will join the process to get the Western nations to commit economic suicide at Copenhagen. This is not hyperbole. A climate change delegation told this to Sovereignty International that this was their strategy over a decade ago. They know that there is no such thing as man-caused global warming.

   

EPA Considers Shutting Down Whistleblower's Department. OpenMarket.org, August 27, 2009. The EPA is considering shutting down the agency headed by whistleblower Dr. Alan Carlin works. Carlin wrote a scathing 100 page report criticizing the EPA's scientifically weak position supporting harsh regulations ostensibly reducing CO2 emissions. The action, if the EPA does it would be an obvious move to silence and punish Dr. Carlin. It is rapidly becoming apparent that rather than the Obama Administration being transparent, as he promised, but to being one of the most secretive administrations in US history that strong-arms anyone who gets in its way.

 

  

Oil Refiners: Cap and Trade will Cost. Philadelphia Enquirer, August 27, 2009. The American Petroleum Institute released a study that clearly showed that refinery output would decline by 17 percent with the House cap and trade bill by 2030 -- further increasing oil imports and our dependence on foreign oil. Although the refinery industry only emits 4 percent of the CO2 emissions, the legislation holds them responsible for 44 percent of the nation's emissions. This type of political gamesmanship is also common in Europe and shows how the entire process is corrupted. Friends get a pass that is born by those not favored.

    

Carbon Baron Gore. Financial Post, August 26, 2009. Al Gore has pushed hard to force global warming legislation down our throats. Why? Because global warming hysteria has been profitable for him. Very profitable. His net worth has gone from $2 million to well over $100 million in the 9 years since leaving politics. Many expect him to become a billionaire if the cap and trade legislation is passed into law through a number of investments that depend on that legislation being passed. What has this to do with saving the planet? Nothing. It's all about money. That's true with just about everyone promoting cap and trade legislation.

    

Could Australia Blow Apart the Great Global Warming Scare? Real Clear Politics, June 24, 2009. This is a bit old, but it explains the dynamics of the complete reversal of climate thinking that led to the defeat of Australia's cap and trade bill in the Australian Senate. We are seeing evidence the same thing is happening in the United States and is the main reason we have created the www.nocapandtrade.us website and YouTube videos. This article is well worth the read.

    

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Seeks Trial on Global Warming. Los Angeles Times, August 25, 2009. In an unique effort to publicly expose the man-caused global warming theory is a fraud, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is considering suing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) if it declares CO2 a pollutant that threatens humans. The threat from EPA could come as a result of its proposed ruling last April which would require the EPA to regulate CO2 emissions from small business up. It would be far worse than the U.S. House of Representatives cap and trade legislation passed last June. If the Chamber can do it, they will win hands down because the overwhelming scientific evidence is that man cannot be causing global warming. The EPA says the lawsuit would be "frivolous" and a "waste of time."

    

EPA's Greenhouse Gas Ruling Defies Economic Warming.  Los Angeles Times, May 13, 2009. As the EPA's ruling of endangerment by CO2 readies for public release, other federal agencies warn the ruling was "likely to have serious economic consequences" for small businesses and the economy. That is an understatement. The ruling would affect almost every product and activity by humans in the United States. In spite of the overwhelming evidence that man cannot be causing global warming, the EPA's proposed ruling concludes that the evidence in support of its finding was "compelling and, indeed, overwhelming..."

   

Africa Wants $67 Billion a Year in Global Warming Funds. Reuters August 24, 2008. Africa will demand $67 billion a year from the US and Europe to sign on to the Copenhagen agreement in December. While the demand is down from the $100 billion before, it still represents a huge amount. Obama has said in his campaign that he supports such payoffs. However, it is doubtful it will ever happen.

    

Drop in World Temperatures Fuels Global Warming Debate. McClatchy News, August 19, 2009. Global temperatures have dropped by 0.6 degrees Fahrenheit since they peaked in 1998 fueling the skeptics belief that natural variability causes climate change. However, very few scientists, including the skeptics, believe the cooling to be long lasting. Most believe it may last another decade or two, and then the warming will resume. Why? Because the solar/ocean oscillations will reverse themselves again and the general warming since the Little Ice Age ending in 1850 will resume. The July warming caused by the formation of El Nino is an example of how powerful these natural forces are.

    

Australian Senate Votes Cap and Trade Legislation Down. ABC News, August 13, 2009. As Expected, the Australian Senate voted down a cap and trade scheme similar to that being proposed in the US. The "shoe-in" legislation was suddenly reversed last June when a key Australian Senator attended an international conference sponsored by the Heartland Institute and cosponsored by Sovereignty International that the overwhelming evidence showed that man was not responsible for global warming.

    

Greenpeace's Director Busted for Lying About Global warming. Business Insider Greensheet, August 21, 2009. Greenpeace's executive director, Gerd Leipold, was busted by the BBC's Stephen Sackur for lying about the effects of global warming. He claimed that the arctic icecaps would melt by 2030. He now admits that claim is false, it is now growing again, but claimed Greenpeace has to "emotionalize issues, and we're not ashamed" of it. That's the same thing Dr. Stephen Snyder said a number of years ago that scientists must do to make people believe their alarmist message. That's why we are now building policy around lies. Finally, the BBC called a spade a spade.

    

It's Time to Drop the Alarmism and Get Real About Climate Change. Whig Standard Opinion. August 17, 2009. "Success" in Copenhagen won't be defined by lowering greenhouse-gas emissions. It will be defined by whether the developed world -- including Canada -- bribes the developing world -- led by China and India -- with sufficient billions of our money, to purportedly reduce its greenhouse-gas emissions, so that participants emerge declaring that a deal to "save the planet" has been reached. But it won't lower emissions. All it will do is make the world safer for hedge fund managers and energy companies as they rake in undeserved profits in the global "cap and trade" market about to be unleashed on us all.

    

Bonn Climate Talks 'augur badly' for Copenhagen Summit. EurActiv.com, August 18, 2009. In December of this year there will be a major meeting in Copenhagen to hammer out a new treaty to replace the failed and expiring Kyoto Protocol. The August 10-14 meeting in Bonn, Germany to write this new treaty met with resistance and very little progress was made. China and India, which will be the largest emitters of CO2 in the future still refuse to sign this new treaty. In total, it is very doubtful that a new treaty will be forthcoming at the Copenhagen Summit -- and the entire world will be much better off because of its failure!

    

EU R&D Efforts Hampered by 'Eco-Religion.' EurActiv.com, July 31, 2009. One of the driving forces behind the environmental movement is pantheism, or the belief that nature is god and must be protected at all costs. In such a belief system, human needs are of secondary importance. This belief is entrenched in both the U.S. and Europe, but much more widespread in Europe. Central to this belief is the Precautionary Principle which states that humans must not do anything that might cause damage to the environment. Therefore, all possible negative consequences must first be researched and found innocent before any product or technology can be introduced. Since it is impossible to prove that a negative will never happen, progress slowly grinds to a halt. The entire global warming hypothesis is based on this. This philosophy is now causing serious harm to Europe. Nonetheless, politicians love it because it gives them something to hide behind.

    

The Crisis of Germany’s Green Energy Policy. Zeit Online, August 13, 2009. Germany has installed €40 billion ($56 billion) worth of solar panels. Yet, that has produced less than 1 percent of their energy consumption needs. By 2013 the cost will grow to €77 billion ($108 billion)! The inefficiency of this program should be a warning to the United States. Germany's population  is 83 billion while that of the U.S. is 307 million, or 3.7 times greater. Since the U.S. cap and trade legislation mandates that a minimum of 15 percent of our electricity be renewable by 2015 from the 4.2 percent today, and solar accounts for less than 1 percent, or a total of 4 percent by 2015. Germany spent $108 billion achieving 0.3 percent for only 83 million people. To achieve 4 percent by 2015 for a population of 307 million would cost $1.6 trillion -- and that does not include the cost of wind power! All analyses have projected a much lower cost, but Germany's actual cost suggests these projections are too low.

   

Climate Change Measure Should Be Set Aside, U.S. Senators Say. Bloomberg, August 14, 2009. Four Democrats in the U.S. Senate say that the cap and trade legislation should be delayed for a year because of all the other legislation that has been passed or is being considered. In other words, it is too much and the people are starting to rebel. While Senator Reed is still likely to bring it to the floor this year, more and more Senators are realizing that it is likely to cause a backlash among their constituencies. Especially when there is no science to back up the need for the legislation.

    

Global Warming Alarmists 'Lost' Data and Skew Results. Examiner.com, August 13, 2009. The British Agency that holds and analyzes all the ground temperature stations in the world has only allowed access to their data by scientists who support the man-caused warming hypothesis. Those scientists who disagree have never been allowed to have the raw data. After several key scientists requested the raw data using Freedom Of Information Request, the agency suddenly claimed that the data was 'lost,' and the only data that was available was 'messaged' data. This stinks no matter what the truth really is. It gives every indication that the data has been messaged to provide a pre-determined outcome. This is just another of a rapidly growing list of suspected data manipulation cases where in studies that seems to support man-caused warming.

    

Desperation Time: NYT Promotes 'National Security' Climate Fears. NYT, August 9, 2009. In an apparent desperate attempt to keep the man-caused global warming fear alive the New York Times and warming alarmists are now trying to make stopping global warming a national security issue. The overwhelming peer-reviewed science, an increasingly vocal backlash from the scientific community (including many IPCC scientists), and cooling global temperatures is causing the entire man-caused global warming theory to collapse. The heart of the “national security” argument is merely a redux of the 1970's laughable scares about famines and resource scarcity.

   

Scientists Mull Quiet '09 Hurricane Season. Metro International, August 10, 2009. Here’s an inconvenient truth: This year’s hurricane season has gotten off to the slowest start in 17 years. And yet global warming alarmists continue to ring their doomsday sirens. It is ironic that while the alarmists are saying that one year (2009) does not mean that there will be more and stronger hurricanes, the same alarmists claimed that the active year of 2005 was proof that man-caused global warming causes more and stronger hurricanes. There is near unanimous agreement with real hurricane scientists that there is no correlation between global warming and hurricanes.

   

Peer-Reviewed Study Rocks Climate Debate! Climate Depot, July 29, 2009. This research study adds even more strong evidence that man cannot be causing global warming. Various studies have shown that the sun, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), the Atlantic Pacific Multi-decadal Oscillation and now the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) individually account for 70 to 80 percent of the earth's climate variability while CO2 accounts for only 44 percent. (These oscillations are massive changes in the ocean surface temperatures; like El Nino except bigger and longer in duration). Preliminary work combining the various oscillations push the correlation to nearly 90 percent). Attempts to discredit this research have failed.

    

'Consensus' Takes Another Hit! More than 60 German Scientists Dissent Over Global Warming Claims! Climate Depot, August 4, 2009. More than 60 prominent German scientists have publicly declared their dissent from man-made global warming fears in an Open Letter to German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The more than 60 signers of the letter include several United Nations IPCC scientists. They called the fear of global warming a 'pseudo' religion and want Chancellor Merkel to stop the implementation of harsh regulations that are hurting the German economy.

    

Global Warming and the Poor. Wall Street Journal, 8-4-09. Between India and China there are nearly 1.3 billion people who live on less than $2 a day. There is no hope for them if these nations cannot increase their use of energy. Hence, both nations refuse to sign on to a global warming protocol that will stop them from providing that energy to their poor. The same is true for other impoverished nations as well. It is ludicrous to think they would further impoverish their people by signing onto a climate policy developed by the first world.

   

Ocean Temperatures: The New Bluff in Climate Alarmism. Science & Public Policy Institute, 7-21-09. The report summarizes hard research on how earth's air and ocean temperatures have fallen during the twenty-first century, when the climate alarmists are claiming just the opposite. The Summary for Policymakers tells volumes for a quick read, but the entire report is worth it for those who want to get into the nitty-gritty.

    

Climate Fixers' Hard Sell. Washington Post, 7-23-09. George Will defines the absurdity of all the machinations to pass a climate treaty in the face of undeniable evidence that man cannot be causing global warming. The Chinese and Indians have figured it out and refuse to sacrifice their economies on the alter of global warming.

    

Solar Cycle Affecting Global Climate, Say scientists. Domain-b.com, 7-16-09. Another research study has found a cause and effect between solar activity and earth's climate. The effect is something like an El Nino event.

    

Is the Sun Missing It's Spots? New York Times, 7-20-09. Solar cycle 24 seems to be sputtering into life. It was supposed to happen in mid-2007, but has been extremely quiet. Solar scientists now believe the entire cycle will be quite long (12-13 years) and well below normal activity, the quietest since the 1920s. There has been a reasonably good correlation since the 1700s that shows a long, quiet solar cycle is accompanied by a cooling earth because more cloud-forming cosmic rays can reach the earth's surface. Solar winds from an active sun block the cosmic rays, hence fewer clouds and a warming earth.

    

The Earth Is Cooling. Nashua Telegraph, 7-18-09. Since 2007 record low temperatures, record high and early snowfalls, and snowfalls occurring where it hasn't been seen for 50 years or more are blowing holes in the man-caused global warming theory. The earth has cooled by over a half of a degree since Al Gore's Inconvenient truth was released. So why are we hell-bent-for-leather to pass an $864 billion cap and trade bill?

    

NASA Climate Chief's Catastrophic Global Warming Tipping-points Claim Toppled by Columbia Colleagues. examiner.com. 7-16-09. James Hansen, NASA's doomsayer on man-made global warming has long said that warming has positive feedbacks that create even more warming. He claims we are now reaching the tipping point where these positive feedbacks will cause runaway warming. Emerging science over the past 3 years has created serious doubts about that claim. This current study clearly shows that many of the feedbacks are negative, which cool the planet. Therefore, there is no such thing as a tipping point, or even significant warming in the future.

    

Why Poor Countries Won't Curb Emissions. Forbes.com. 7-15-09. Poor countries like India use 15 times less energy that the average US citizen. Increasing per capita use of energy (i.e. carbon emissions) is the only way these nations can raise their per capita standard of living from squalor to what we in the US would consider poor. It is therefore a no brainer that they would refuse to sign on to something that would keep them in abject poverty.

    

Scientists Can Explain Only Half of Global Warming. The Hindu. 7-15-09. "There appears to be something fundamentally wrong with the way temperature and carbon are linked in climate models," so claims a new peer-reviewed study. The study explodes Al Gore's depiction of CO2 controlling past temperature, and throws into serious doubt the role CO2 played in the twentieth century.

   

The rise of the carbon oligarchs. Washington Times, 7-12-09. As the globe cools, Washington heats up by passing cap and trade the opens the door wide open to corruption with those with friends in high places get special treatment and those that don't find themselves out of business.

    

Cap and Trade - Illusion of New Green Economy. Right Side News. 7-12-09. Dr. Spencer is one of only a few leading climate scientists in the world. He has been the driving force behind the global microwave satellite system. He provides a very good insight into the folly of cap and trade using phantom green technology. Well worth the read.

   

Senate Won't Bow to Global Warming Propagandists, Hopefully. Portland Examiner. 7-11-09. In a growing backlash within the media, more and more news outlets are seeing the science of man-caused global warming for what it is--a fraud--and cap and trade is a fast track to serfdom. They are also hoping that the Senate will not be so easy to fool as was the House. 

   

UN IPCC Scientists Say Global Warming Big Deception. Right Side News. 7-10-09. A dozen internationally respected scientists tell us why CO2 is not a pollutant, is absolutely necessary for life on earth and that it is not responsible for global warming.

   

G8 Stalemate Shows It's Time for Climate Cool-down. Financial Post. 7-10-09. All the flowery congratulations of setting carbon goals at the G8 are meaningless. There is wide disagreement even between first world nations on what should be done and when it should be done. But China, India and now Russia are adamantly dead set against any carbon reductions which makes anything the first world nations do meaningless.

    

House Bill Introduced  Denying Funding For IPCC. Press Release 7-8-09. Although the Democrats will certainly squash the effort, Representative Luetkemeyer (R-MO) introduced legislation to cut off funding for the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change because of the politicization of science to arrive at a predetermined conclusion. He noted over 700 leading international scientists have now abandoned the man-caused theory compared to 56 scientists who wrote the IPCC's 2007 report.

   

Russia Rejects G8 Emissions Cut Target. Rianovosti. 8-9-09. Russia flat-out rejected the G8's recommendation for carbon emission cuts. The rejection by Russia, along with the rejection by China, India, and many other developing nations, appears to be a coordinated effort to undercut President Obama's glowing proclamation of success. Obama chaired the session and had a lot of his prestige on the line.

    

G-8 and Developing Nations Differ Over Emissions Cuts. Wall Street Journal. 7-8-09. As expected, the Group of Eight, meeting in Italy, trumpeted an agreement to reduce CO2 emissions by 80 percent by 2050. However, it is meaningless because they did not set intermediate goals nor did they agree on how to much money to give to developing nations.  Without tackling these issues, the agreement is nothing more than hot air.

   

Senator's Testimony Insists Nuclear Energy is Only Viable Option. The Chattanoogan. 7-7-09. Senator Lamar Alexander told administration officials the only cost effective way to reduce our carbon emissions is to build nuclear power plants, not costly and inefficient wind and solar farms. Note: France has produced 80 percent of its electricity by nuclear for decades without any problems; environmental or human health.

   

Global Warming and the “evil” rich. Reuters Foundation. 7-8-09. The National Academy of Sciences just released a study suggesting the rich of the world should incur a heavy tax or other financial hit to pay for their exorbitantly large carbon footprint. The article notes, this includes all americans, because even the poor in the US are rich compared to even European standards.

    

Green-industrial complex gets rich from carbon laws. The Australian, 7-3-09. *Outstanding Article.

Due Diligence on Australia's Environmental Minister Wong's answer to Senator Fielding's challenge on global warming.  July 3, 2009. Just as Congress passed HR 2454 cap and trade legislation, we reported that Australia was abandoning their legislation. Australia's Senator Fielding asked Environment Minister Wong to justify the need for their draconian cap and trade legislation. Wong replied with the discredited IPCC dogma, and four of Australia's leading climate scientists took Wong's response apart. exposing the IPCC's science for the fraud it is. For all practical purposes, cap and trade in Australia is dead.

   

China blasts US climate bill enabling penalties on trade partners  Space Daily 7-2-09. China has long opposed a new climate treaty which would harm their growing economy. China has set up impossible conditions for the US to meet before they would even consider a new treaty, believing that the US could never implement them. That would allow them to save face by not having to bluntly say no to the world community. However, now that Congress has passed HR 2454 cap and trade legislation that mandates that the US impose a huge tariff on nations not having their own economic suicide legislation, China's China's bluff has been called and they are not happy.

 

  

UN, WTO call for trade shift to halt climate change.  EurActive 7-2-09. The World Trade Organization, which can impose penalties on nations for imposing tariffs, is strongly leaning towards allowing tariffs on products coming from countries not having economy-killing cap and trade , or similar legislation. This will devastate poverty-stricken third world nations and prevent them from ever getting out of poverty. It is called Economic Imperialism.

    

Stop scaring kids about global warming Detroit News 7-1-09. Bjorn Lomborg, whose book the Skeptical Environmentalist, rocked the environmental world by exposing the pseudoscience behind most environmental scare stories, makes the case against scaring young kids. Although Lomborg still believes in man-caused global warming, he warns that fully 1/3 of all pre-teenagers in the US believe their is no future for them because of global warming. "This is grossly harmful," he claims.

    

Internationally Known Scientists Write Letter to President Obama, 'You Have Been Deceived About Global Warming, The Earth Has Been Cooling for Ten Years.  Climate Depot 7-1-09.

India Rejects Any Greenhouse-Gas Cuts Under New Climate Treaty Bloomberg 6-30-09. China and India have balked at a new climate treaty expected in December at Copenhagen for months. Now India has formerly rejected it. Look for more third world nations to follow suit. Such a treaty would condemn these nations to perpetual poverty.

    

Obama Wary of Tariff Provision. Wall Street Journal. In a last minute inclusion, House democratic leaders inserted a provision for heavy tariffs to be imposed on products imported from countries not having their own cap and trade regulations. This was done  to level the playing field and prevent the flood of US industries moving offshore because of the huge energy costs resulting from H.R. 2454. Many are concerned the provision will precipitate a trade war.

    

Carbongate--EPA Suppresses It's Own Report Contradicting Their Political Position. Investors Business Daily. The scientific community is abuzz with this smoking gun that clearly shows the Obama EPA is suppressing evidence that man is not causing global warming for political reasons -- written by EPA's own personnel. So much for transparency.

   

House Narrowly Passes Climate Bill Fox News. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the highly controversial American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 Friday night, June 26. It represents the biggest tax hike in U.S. history by orders of magnitude and establishes a bureaucracy that the European experience is highly corruptible and economically damaging. It still has to go to the Senate, which should take it up this fall.

Green Jobs a Cost, Not Benefit, to the National Economy Study done by the Beacon Hill Institute, Boston. The study found major economic flaws in all the glowing projections of the benefits of creating green jobs.

Senator Inhofe (R-OK) Exposes Cap and Trade Legislation as the Biggest Tax Increase in History New cap and trade legislation in 2009 would cost every American family $3000 a year and cost the country $6.5 trillion over a 10 year period.

    

Crops under stress as temperatures fall. London Telegraph. The extremely cold winters and springs the past two seasons have resulted in major crop failures and a global food crisis. Rather than global warming causing super storms and crop loses, as we are commonly told, it is global cooling that we need to worry about. As referenced in the DVD, massive famine was common during the Little Ice Age in the 1700-1800s in Europe. The same seems to be happening now that we are in a global cooling (not warming) cycle.

China doesn't give a stuff about global warming London Telegraph Blog. Blogger details why China is stringing along Europe and the US on a new Copenhagen Climate agreement to replace the failed Kyoto Protocol. They have no intention of supporting any agreement and would like to bankrupt the Western Nations for their stupidity. That is exactly what the Chinese delegation told me personally in private at COP 5 many years ago. MS Coffman, Ph.D.

An analysis by the federal Energy Information Administration claims that global carbon emissions will increase by 40 percent 2030; 94 percent of this will come from the expanding economies of the developing nations. Of the 94 percent, two-thirds will be from China India, Russia and Brazil.

   

The Missing Sunspots: Is This the Big Chill? The Independent. The sun has been amazingly quiet for nearly three years now – more quiet than in the collective memory of any scientist living today. Previous quiet periods have been accompanied by a cooling, even cold, climate leading a rapidly increasing number of scientists to abandon the CO2 man-caused warming theory and predict we are entering a new cooling cycle.

   

China Pans US Over Climate Demands. Prior to meeting with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi China demands the US do much more to reduce emissions before China will sign on to any new agreement in Copenhagen this December. They were especially hard on President Obama calling his pledges "insufficient insufficient and his demands for developing countries are unrealistic." China wants the US to slash emissions by 40% by 2020 and give developing nations 1% ($150,000) a year, something the US cannot do. This rhetoric may be a negotiating tool, or it may be a way for China to save face while sabotaging the new climate agreement in December.

    

China Gets Tough on Climate Change Talks. Financial Times. China demands that rich countries (i.e. the US) reduce CO2 emissions by 40 % by 2020 and give 3rd World nations the equivalent of $150 billion per year to help them implement climate goals. Both are impossible. China is doing this so the failure of Copenhagen in December of 2009 is blamed on the US and not China.

The attack on the science supporting solar-caused global warming In July 2007, research was published allegedly proclaiming once and for all that the sun could not be responsible for the current global warming. It was heralded as the smoking gun that proved that global warming is man-caused. Just how valid is this claim?
