Global climate change is a scam
This started off in response to comments on an article I DIGGed. There are a lot of idiots on DIGG pushing Global warming and calling anyone who disputes their so called theory deniers.
I have plenty of facts that Global warming is a hoax as do all of us who KNOW that global warming/climate change is a scam and the only people claiming it exists stand to profit from making us change our life styles or are their blind followers. Which are you? If you believe in Global warming because leftist media or school teachers told it’s a fact, Where are their facts? All made up, distortions and outright lies. It is a THEORY and theories are open to question and change all the time. These are the same people who were telling us climate theory said we were going to have another ice age in the early 1970s.
Owl Gore is the biggest hypocrite and liar around, he is one of the biggest personal users of energy in Tennessee, has a mine (believe it is Nickel but not sure) on his property that is on the EPA clean up list and is a major seller of “carbon Credits”. GE makes CFL lights, wind turbines, selling Carbon Credits and is HEAVILY supporting climate change and a MAJOR supporter of Obama and others who are trying to push this lie on you. see GE’s incestuous relationship with Obama
Now Oboma and the Democrats in Congress Pelosie and Reed are trying to push through carbon taxes which will drive your energy costs through the roof. Oboma has been quoted as saying he wanted to see gas/fuel prices over $5 a gallon so you would have to give up your cars and use public transportation when he was a senator. I though he said he wasn’t going to raise your taxes.. Also said his administration and bills would be transparent and open and published on the Internet for what was it 15 days? So You the public can see what is going on. Then why are they trying rush all this legislation through with out publishing it on the Internet where you can see it and passing it in the middle of the night when even your congress persons have not READ WHAT THEY ARE VOTING ON. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!! They are trying to take control of everything from banking, insurance, auto industry, energy and now your health care. If that isn’t socialism then what is? Socialism has failed every where it has been implemented. Name me one thing government does well. Well!? Social Security is going broke, Medicare is nearly broke and full of corruption, the veterans administration has terrible health care and you want these people to “fix the heath care crisis” they claim exists? Our government controlled schools suck, they don’t teach they brain wash kids with liberal ideals. I could go on and on about how about everything the government does sucks but I’m getting off track here. There isn’t ONE thing government has ever done that hasn’t been extremely more expensive than what they said it would be in the beginning. Oboma has already doubled the deficit since he has been in office and if everything they have passed so far is implemented will spend more money we don’t have than ALL the presidents before him combined and he’s still spending more!! The Democrats are running the economy with all this spending and are destroying the value of the dollar by printing money to cover their insane spending spree. We are so far in debt that China and the middle east don’t want give us any more credit!
Here are some links that show Global Warming/Global Climate Change is all a scam and a lie.
Global Warming Petition Project 31,478 American scientists have signed this petition, including 9,029 with PhDs denying global warming.

Several of the links document how poorly sited the stations which are saying there is any warming going on. Next to AC units, in parking lots and other artificial heat sources, not anywhere close to the specifications for correctly measuring temperature. It is a fact for the last few years we have been experiencing global COOLING. The earths climate changes because of the SUN primarily, not anything man is doing. The sun as been at solar minimum for the last few years and has had a lack of sun spots not seen in decades.

Everyone needs to boycott GE!
GE owns majority share of NBC UNIVERSAL “Formed in May 2004 through the combining of NBC and Vivendi Universal Entertainment, NBC Universal owns and operates a valuable portfolio of news and entertainment networks, a premier motion picture company, significant television production operations, a leading television stations group, and world-renowned theme parks. NBC Universal is 80% owned by General Electric and 20% owned by Vivendi.” NBC UNIVERSAL TELEVISION GROUP is NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo, NBC News also includes “NBC Mobile provides news and information updates and show excerpts to cell phone users throughout the day reported by the anchors and correspondents of NBC News, and NBC News Radio produces up-to-the-minute radio reports for affiliated stations in all major markets across the country.”
NBC Owns and Operates TV Stations in major cities all over the country;
WNBC (NBC4 New York), KNBC (NBC4 Los Angeles), WMAQ (NBC5 Chicago), WCAU (NBC10 Philadelphia), KNTV (NBC3 San Jose/San Fransisco),
KXAS (NBC5 Dallas/Fort Worth), WRC (NBC4 Washington), WTVJ (NBC6 Miami), KNSD (NBC7/39 San Diego), WVIT (NBC30 Hartford),
GE though their holdings in NBC promoted the election of Obama. It has come to my attention (Glenn Beck) that not only is GE a major producer of CFL (Compact florescent Light bulbs), but they also are the major producer of wind turbines and have a major stake in “Carbon Credits”. If Obama pass all his Green Energy and Cap and Trade plans GE will stand to make billions.
Obama is quoted as saying on Earth day “He pushed personal responsibility, calling on every American to replace one incandescent light bulb with one compact fluorescent. The president also said the leaders of the world’s major economies will meet next week to discuss the energy crisis.”
For his remarks, Obama chose Iowa, second only to Texas in installed wind capacity.
He announced his administration is creating the nation’s first program to authorize offshore projects to generate electricity from wind turbines and ocean currents. The Interior Department on Wednesday issued the long-awaited regulations governing how leases will be issued for the development of such energy sources and how revenue will be shared with coastal states.”

Global Warming & Earth day
One of my favorite sites to visit every day ticked me off last night
Astronomy Picture of the Day 4/21/09 was about global warming and they said:
“How much will the Earth’s surface warm up over the lives of our children? No one is sure. Compared to the past 100 million years, the Earth is currently enduring a relative cold spell, possibly about four degrees Celsius below average. Over the past 100 years, however, data indicate the average global temperature of the Earth has increased by nearly one degree Celsius.”
Lets analyze this sentence which is written by two Astrophysicis (since when was climate their area of expertise?). First it states Earth is currently experiencing a cold spell compared to the last 100 mission years. Also you should know we have been cooling the last few years and have experienced very cold winter. Here in Phoenix we’ve had freezing temperatures in December when we normally don’t freeze at all. Two winters ago we had a record cold snap for a few days that froze and killed trees, plants all over the valley and froze plumbing all over.
Next they tell us we are having global warming because the average had increased by “nearly 1 degree Celsius” which is 9/5ths of a Fahrenheit degree, or 1 degree Celsius = 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit. So the average over the last 100 years has gone up less than 2 degrees Fahrenheit.
To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, first multiply by 180/100, then add 32
To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, first subtract 32, then multiply by 100/180
What they haven’t told you is we have only had accurate records about that long and how accurate they are is debatable. Or that there are 31,478 American scientists who have signed the Global Warming Petition Project which states they are “convinced that the human-caused global warming hypothesis is without scientific validity and that government action on the basis of this hypothesis would unnecessarily and counter productively damage both human prosperity and the natural environment of the Earth.” They have a 12 page article on why Global warming isn’t science.. (html 150-dpi PDF, 300-dpi PDF, or 600-dpi PDF)
“ABSTRACT
A review of the research literature concerning the environmental consequences of increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to the conclusion that increases during the 20th and early 21st centuries have produced no deleterious effects upon Earth’s weather and climate. Increased carbon dioxide has, however, markedly increased plant growth. Predictions of harmful climatic effects due to future increases in hydrocarbon use and minor greenhouse gases like CO2 do not conform to current experimental knowledge. The environmental effects of rapid expansion of the nuclear and hydrocarbon energy industries are discussed.”
Or that the a good number of the stations that provide the data aren’t properly sited and give very bad readings.

The Global warming scare isn’t about “saving the planet or mankind” It is about power, money and control over YOU. The people who are pushing it are either dupes of the people pushing it or the ones who are making the money on it and want power and control. GE which owns NBC through them other media outlets is the biggest producer of CFL lights and lobbied congress to ban regular light bulbs. Gore who is a hypocrite and sells carbon credits. There are many others but I don’t have time to research them.

I think people need to get a grip and quit threatening people who work for AIG. Congress approved the bonuses and with the help of the liberal media is trying to pass the blame on AIG and others. It is Congress that as passed these massive spending bills with out even reading them that is the problem!
If you want to punish someone for our current problems then you should have voted the Democrats out of office and not elected Obama last fall. The Democrats have controlled Congress for the last two years. Since it is too late for that now we need to take our anger out on Congress and the White House, let them know you are not happy at all with what they are doing! You need to see some of my previous posts like:
The men who brought down Wall Street Let me give you a clue, they were all Democrats!
The Sub – Prime disaster the Democrats caused this too.
Presidential Election Where I warned about some of what would happened if Obama got elected and the Democrats control both houses. Actually it has been worse than I imagined..
Ann Coulter lays it out that Wall Street is Democrat territory, these big bankers are NOT
Republicans or conservatives. On second though maybe we should punish them too.

Are we THAT stupid? If this doesn’t bother you then just delete the message. If, on the other hand, it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you forward it to every legal resident in the country including every elected representative in Washington , D.C. – five times a week for as long as it takes to restore some semblance of intelligence in our policies and enforcement thereof.
If Obama gets elected and the socialist Democrats control both houses this country is doomed.. The Democrats are responsible for the current mess, not Bush other than he signed their bills instead of vetoing them. Barny Frank and Chris Dodd wrote the laws that “encouraged” banks and Fanny May and Freddie Mac to increase sub prime loans to people who could not afford houses. Those two government sponsored entities also gave large campaign contributions to the Democrats and gave several democrat congressmen including Frank and Dodd very low to no interest million dollar loans. Fudged their books so their CEO’s got huge bonuses, the chairmen James A. Johnson and Franklin D. Raines of Franny May got millions in illegal bonuses and now are on Obama’s advisory community and very likely will be given cabinet positions. Obama as a “community organizer” pressured banks to give sub prime loans to people who couldn’t afford to buy a house. You should look in to how Obama got his house and the Chicago politics that got him in to office in the first place.
It was the Clinton Administration, the Democrats, especially Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and Barack Obama’s own economic advisor, Frank Raines who are most responsible for this mess. All are Democrats.
McCain Says S.E.C. Chairman Should Be Fired
McCain warned of this two years ago
SubPrime
“type of loan that is offered at a rate above prime to individuals who do not qualify for prime rate loans. Quite often, sub prime borrowers are often turned away from traditional lenders because of their low credit ratings or other factors that suggest that they have a reasonable chance of defaulting on the debt repayment.
Sub prime loans tend to have a higher interest rate than the prime rate offered on traditional loans. The additional percentage points of interest often translate to tens of thousands of dollars worth of additional interest payments over the life of a longer term loan.”
The same people who caused this problem are now writing the bill to “fix it”… Speaker Pelosi was blaming Bush for this, but if you notice since the Democrats have taken control of Congress gas and about everything else has gone up, and the stock market has gone to hell. My 401K is now worth less than what I’ve put into it. She also said Bush had squandered the surplus from the Clinton years. The only reason there was a surplus was because the Republicans were elected to stop them from passing national health care and other stupid ideas. The surplus was a lie anyway we still had a deficit and the only spending Clinton cut was defence which with his other policies was directly the cause of 9/11. Which wiped out any “surplus” we had. The economy was going into a recession at the end of the Clinton years because of the large tax increases he instituted took some time to take effect. The Democrats at the time accused Bush when he was running for his first term of “talking down the economy”. They have done nothing but talk down the economy the entire time he has been in office. If Bush has any failings it is he has gone along with too much of the Democrats agenda. He let Ted Kennedy write the Education bill and then they blamed Bush for it’s failings.. No matter what Bush has done the Democrats and their friends in the liberal media have criticized it.
The reason we are loosing all our companies is because thanks to the Democrats we have the highest corporate tax rate of any industrial country in the world. We are one of the few countries that has a Capital Gains tax.
Our energy costs are going though the roof because the Democrats have stopped every effort to develop the resources God blessed this country with for us to use. We have gone from importing 40% of our oil to 60% of our oil. For all of their complaining you’d think we get all of it from the middle east. We actually get most of our imported oil from Canada and Mexico. Most of our current problems are directly related to our rising energy costs and the devaluating of the dollar because of our ever growing debt.
If you don’t believe what I’m saying you need to watch Glenn Beck on CNN, he’s LDS and tells it like it is. I’d also recommend listening to Sean Hannidy’s radio show and maybe Rush. Get an education on the issues and don’t listen to the BS in the news papers, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC ect..
We need to get back to the limited Constitution government we should have instead of the bloated vastly over grown increasingly socialist government we have now.
