Climatologists Trying To Understand Why Global Warming Has Stopped
It makes my heart a couple of degrees warmer when I read things like this. Al Gore is such a buffoon. His dumbass phony science is slowly being exposed for the garbage that it is.
As I’ve reported many times on this website, the earth is not f*cking warming. All the climate change fear mongers and their ridiculous computer models were not just wrong — they were dead wrong.
Spiegel Online has a great piece about the climate change debate and how many in the scientific community are being forced to come to grips with the truth.
As you read the piece remember what dumbass Al Gore likes to say — “the science is settled.”
What people must realize is that the global warming debate has nothing to do with the weather or the climate. The same people who howl about global warming were howling about global cooling 25 years ago.
What “cap and trade” and the phony “green” movement is really about is redistribution of wealth. Global warming is simply a means to an end for the radical left to get the “redistributive change” they’ve been seeking all these years.
Lately, the term used most often by leftist eco-warrior’s is “environmental justice” which is a close cousin of “social justice” — both of which mean redistribution of wealth.
In fact, Obama’s former Marxist “green jobs” czar Van Jones explains it better than I ever could:
Don’t fall for the nonsense. These environmental whackos want money and power and they’ll destroy the entire world economy in the name of phony science to get it.

Kudos to the BBC for straying from the Al Gore talking points.
UN Climate Prediction: “We Have 4 Months To Secure Future Of Our Planet”
The idiots at the UN held their Global Environment Forum yesterday where leaders waxed poetic about the dire consequences of global warming — phony global warming.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon gave a speech about the perils of climate change and patted himself and the UN on the back for making a phony issue real.
The highlight of the speech was this:
We have just four months. Four months to secure the future of our planet.
I’m glad to hear it. I hope this means we can stop talking about phony climate change in four months.

Alaska Volcano Eruption “Imminent”
Residents in and around Anchorage, Alaska are stocking up on supplies and preparing for what scientists say is the imminent eruption of Mount Redoubt. The volcano last blew on Dec. 15, 1989 sending a cloud of ash more than 150 miles away. Unlike Hawaii’s volcanoes which typically create an orange river of lava that flows down the mountain, Alaska’s volcanoes tend to just explode and send an enormous ash cloud 30,000-50,000 ft. into the jet stream.
John Power who works at the Alaska Volcano Observatory says the ash is very dangerous to humans and can cause severe lung damage and blindness if precautions are not taken.
“It’s a very abrasive kind of rock fragment,” Power said. “It’s not the kind of ash that you find at the base of your wood stove.” The particulate has jagged edges and has been used as an industrial abrasive. “They use this to polish all kinds of metals,” he said. Particulate can injure skin, eyes and breathing passages. The young, the elderly and people with respiratory problems are especially susceptible. Put enough ash under a windshield wiper and it will scratch glass. It’s also potentially deadly for anyone flying in a jet. “Think of flying an airliner into a sandblaster,” Power said.
Power advises Alaskans to prepare as they would for a bad snowstorm: Keep flashlights, batteries and several days’ worth of food in the house, limit driving and prepare to hunker down if the worst of an ash cloud hits.
Global Warming Alarmist James Hansen’s Former NASA Supervisor Calls Him An “Embarrassment”
The guy who really kick started the fraudulent global warming panic around the world is Dr. James Hansen. He’s Dr. Al Gore’s closest ally and deputy fear monger. Hansen is the chief climate scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS).
Hansen’s former boss at NASA is now speaking out and says Hansen’s global warming warming alarmism is an embarrassment to NASA based on fraudulent science.
Retired senior NASA atmospheric scientist, Dr. John S. Theon, the former supervisor of James Hansen, NASA’s vocal man-made global warming fear soothsayer, has now publicly declared himself a skeptic and declared that Hansen “embarrassed NASA” with his alarming climate claims and said Hansen was “was never muzzled.” Theon joins the rapidly growing ranks of international scientists abandoning the promotion of man-made global warming fears.
“I appreciate the opportunity to add my name to those who disagree that global warming is man made,” Theon wrote to the Minority Office at the Environment and Public Works Committee on January 15, 2009. “I was, in effect, Hansen’s supervisor because I had to justify his funding, allocate his resources, and evaluate his results,” Theon, the former Chief of the Climate Processes Research Program at NASA Headquarters and former Chief of the Atmospheric Dynamics & Radiation Branch explained.
“Hansen was never muzzled even though he violated NASA’s official agency position on climate forecasting (i.e., we did not know enough to forecast climate change or mankind’s effect on it). Hansen thus embarrassed NASA by coming out with his claims of global warming in 1988 in his testimony before Congress,” Theon wrote. [Note: NASA scientist James Hansen has created worldwide media frenzy with his dire climate warning, his call for trials against those who dissent against man-made global warming fear, and his claims that he was allegedly muzzled by the Bush administration despite doing 1,400 on-the-job media interviews!\
Theon is in good company when it comes to his skepticism on global warming. Contrary to what Al Gore is telling the congress on Capital Hill this very day, the scientific community is in no way in agreement about global warming. In fact, every single day more scientists come forward and join the chorus of those who know Gore and Hansen are liars engaged in one of the biggest cons of all time.
“As Chief of several of NASA Headquarters’ programs (1982-94), an SES position, I was responsible for all weather and climate research in the entire agency, including the research work by James Hansen, Roy Spencer, Joanne Simpson, and several hundred other scientists at NASA field centers, in academia, and in the private sector who worked on climate research,” Theon wrote of his career. “This required a thorough understanding of the state of the science.
I have kept up with climate science since retiring by reading books and journal articles,” Theon added. (LINK) Theon also co-authored the book “Advances in Remote Sensing Retrieval Methods.” [Note: Theon joins many current and former NASA scientists in dissenting from man-made climate fears.
A small sampling includes: Aerospace engineer and physicist Dr. Michael Griffin, the former top administrator of NASA, Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson, the first woman in the world to receive a PhD in meteorology, and formerly of NASA, Geophysicist Dr. Phil Chapman, an astronautical engineer and former NASA astronaut, Award-Winning NASA Astronaut/Geologist and Moonwalker Jack Schmitt, Award-winning NASA Astronaut and Physicist Walter Cunningham of NASA's Apollo 7, Chemist and Nuclear Engineer Robert DeFayette was formerly with NASA's Plum Brook Reactor, Hungarian Ferenc Miskolczi, an atmospheric physicist with 30 years of experience and a former researcher with NASA's Ames Research Center, Climatologist Dr. John Christy, Climatologist Dr. Roy W. Spencer, Atmospheric Scientist Ross Hays of NASA's Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility]
Fighting global warming has become big business much like the war on drugs — except that drugs and drug addiction are real unlike global warming. Al Gore has made more than $100 million dollars since leaving politics and embarking on his global warming crusade. All those “carbon credits” that latte sipping liberals are always buying to offset their “carbon footprint” come from several companies the largest of which is owned by Al Gore. Moreover, Al claims to be “carbon neutral” because of the carbon offsets he buys — except that he buys them from himself.
Evidence is in fact continuing to mount that the earth is in fact cooling rather than warming. Of course to the global warming loons it’s because of global warming that it’s been so cold this winter just like it was because of global warming that summer was so hot. Everything proves global warming while nothing disproves it in the minds of some.
The Obama administration is about to base our entire economy and a lot of our foreign policy on what is a complete and total lie. The global warming agenda is a socialist, anti-capitalist, and anti-business agenda that is aimed at dismantling our way of life.

Pew Survey: Conservatives Are Indeed Happier Than Liberals
We all heard about the Pew Study released some weeks back that found conservatives to be much happier than liberals. Researchers at New York University wanted to study the issue further to try and find out why that is.
Here’s what they found:
But New York University researchers set out to isolate the reasons why right-wingers would have greater subjective well-being than left-wingers.
They collected data from nearly 1,200 people from the 2000 American National Election Study and found that above the effects of gender, marital status, income, religion and age, the reason for this happiness disparity can be distilled to the separate ideologies of liberals and conservatives.
The authors argue that a conservative belief acts as a psychological buffer in a world of increasing inequality. The idea is that conservatives tend to rationalize inequality as the result of a fair process in a meritocracy, whereas liberals tend to see inequality as inherently unjust.
Analyses with data from 9,000 people across 10 countries uncovered the pattern that, not only do right-wingers report greater life satisfaction across cultures, but the gap widens in those countries where quality of life is low.
Finally, the authors looked at U.S. data spanning the past 30 years, and found that increasing economic inequality is associated with the decrease in the nation’s overall happiness. But noted they found that liberals’ self-reported happiness decreased more steeply than that of conservatives.
Liberals tend to be “glass half-empty” kind of people, while conservatives tend to be more “glass half-full” kind of people. Liberals tend to focus almost exclusively on what’s wrong with America, while conservatives tend to celebrate the good things about America.
Liberals always have to have a cause of some kind. Something they can protest about, blog about, sign petitions about, or air a particular grievance. Whether it’s global warming, Iraq, FISA, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, or President Bush, liberals have to have something to be outraged about.
A can’t think of an issue that could would ever get conservatives to put on ridiculous costumes and march on Washington, or protest Senate hearings.
In any case, the study is pretty interesting.
