Is the green sky falling?

 
SITUATION: You're an Eagle Scout, enjoying a hot afternoon at the beach. There is no lifeguard. A sign reads..."swim at your own risk."
 
Suddenly, you notice a flash crowd gathering. They are encircling an unconscious 8-year old boy, near death from possible drowning.
 
Rushing to his rescue, you immediately place the child on his back, with the chin jutting upward, thus preventing his tongue from blocking the airway. Then you blow a series of long, deep exhalations into the victim's mouth.
 
Now - with his lungs expanded and full of air - the pulmonary vein force-feeds a renewed flow of blood into the boy's heart, and miraculously, it resumes it's rhythmic beating. 
 
The unconscious child begins to stir!
 
But instead of being hailed as a hero, now emerges an enforcement agent from the EPA, and pronounces you "under arrest" - for child endangerment: you are in violation - for exhaling "dangerous CO2" into the boy's lungs.
 
But despite its utter absurdity, the recent CO2 "endangerment finding" by the EPA is no laughing matter - bespeaking of the days of Stalin; and of a marxist-like seizure of the  US economy.
 
Consider: to regulate CO2 means control of everything. Carbon dioxide is germane to Earth itself. With CO2 now pronounced as dangerous, it portends disorder, unreality, absurdity, inconvenience, commotion - the inevitable upheaval of free society itself.
 
Should Coca-Cola be banned? Can Canada Dry be outlawed? How about Alka-Seltzer? Will champagne bottlers be placed under arrest? Can dry ice be considered toxic? How about the "dangerous" leafblower in the garage? Or the old clunker parked next to it?
 
Yes America; if we resign ourselves to this incredulous mandate, it means surrendering every facet of life to Obama and his liberal enviro-cultists. Think of "1984" on steroids - Big Brother at the EPA, watching over everyone - thwarting our attempt to live as we once preferred.
 
To live is to breathe; and to breathe implies the egress of CO2.
 
Hence, will we all soon need a permit even to exhale? Or drive to the grocery? Will the EPA require us to bicycle to work? Will Obama mandate we cut our grass with a solar-powered lawnmower?
 
Where does it stop?
 
And why play around with the small stuff? If the EPA is really serious about greenhouse gas emissions, will erupting volcanoes be subject to stiff fines? - or possible arrests? What about those herculean California forest fires? Is Smokey the Bear destined to become the EPA's key enforcement narc?
 
The reign of the Obama administration has come to fruition: environmentalism is the new socialism. The EPA - having sway over virtually anything - will now have carte blanch over Obama's favorite whipping boy: Big Oil -  targeting the one vital substance that no nation (especially the US) can do without...crude petroleum.
 
With the EPA's sword of Damocles hanging over large CO2 emitters, the entire domestic refining industry could one day be shut down. Refining crude in the US would become prohibitively expensive. Shortages, caused by importing gasoline, would make the four dollar-a-gallon prices of 2008 seem like the good ol' days.
 
And what about Obama's promise that he'd bankrupt demon coal? With the EPA set to fine coal-fired generation plants by weight of their CO2 emissions, who will eventually pay?
 
Imagine opening your electric bill by 2012..."This *!#*!+*!*&!* Obama and his *!#!!%!** EPA! I knew this was going to happen!"
  
Not surprisingly, all this is happening just in time for Copenhagen - where big-shot Barack can triumphantly parade on the world's stage, crowing away about..."America is serious about cutting its greenhouse gas emissions"...as the conference hails him as Earth's great environmental savior.
 
And how will Mr. Obama get to Copenhagen? By flapping his skinny arms? With a round trip to Denmark on Air Force One, plus his gratuitous, 20-car presidential motorcade, Obama will leave a carbon footprint as wide as the Atlantic itself.
 
But if Mr. Obama (and the Copenhagen delegates) were indeed serious about saving the world, could they not have arranged for teleconferencing, and spared Earth from so much more "dangerous" CO2? Could they not all have just stayed at home in their mansions, and decided - via the internet - what's good for us run-of-the-mill serfs?
 
The natural evolution of mankind has always been to utilize his God-given intelligence, and employ the world around him to solve his problems. This implies the discovery of a clean, renewable, and inexpensive energy resource - nuclear power.
 
But will the word NUCLEAR even be mentioned at Copenhagen? Or by Obama?
 
These so-called environmentalists - who mindlessly rant about being "carbon-neutral" - are the biggest offenders themselves. 
 
The return on investment for green energy is decidedly negative. If green technologies were indeed feasible economically, the world long-ago would've supplanted oil and coal with solar and windmills farms.
 
Indeed; the real story here is that climate change "happens" - there is no global warming. The switch to a green energy economy has failed miserably in Europe. So how could we expect things to be any different in the United States?
 
But misery loves company.
 
Now that the Euro-socialists have foolishly converted to green energy, in Copenhagen they will demand Mr. Obama do likewise: ruin the US  economy, thereby transferring millions of jobs overseas to the Asians, who continue to add coal fired generators - producing the cheap power to out-compete us; as our ecomomy inexorably deteriorates to one of a second-tier nation.   
 
In Copenhagen, the world's elitist liberals will implore Obama to abandon fossil fuels - all in the name of Climate Change; and all based upon some bogus, scientific deception about non-existent warming trends, supposedly caused by fossil fuel exhaust.
 
But even a high-schooler taught basic physics understands Newton's first law: "ENERGY (or matter) CANNOT BE CREATED - or destoyed. Excess carbon dioxide is either consumed by all plant matter; or stored as carbonic acid in the oceans of the world. And neither process raises earth's temperature, or adds significant warming.
 
Hence, to regulate fossil fuels is to tax free movement itself; which is why these phony Socialist tree-huggers seek to put a price tag on everything we do. They care not about saving Earth. They seek only "climate justice" (better known as wealth redistribution).
 
The only real "change" from the climate will be that which the EPA will be removing from our pockets. And now, with our economy half-dead, the carbon police are on the way to deliver the final blow.

Climate-change, obfuscation, and other liberal lies!


A blind pedestrian in Minneapolis is struck by a Toyota hybrid and lies seriously injured: A laid-off Houston petroleum engineer grows ever more despondent, wondering when he'll work again: In her kitchen, an Akron OH housewife accidently shatters a CFL lightbulb - contaminating her home with highly-poisonous mercury:

 

Given all three of these seemingly unrelated human interest stories, what do they share in common? In deference, we now move on to story number four:

 

A headline breaks in the London Times: "Unknown Alleged Russian Entity Hacks Into Computers of Major Center on Global Warming."

 

Indeed, hackers had now "exposed" the Hadley Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, England - obtaining 1079 emails and 72 files - containing nearly 4000 documents on global warming - proving it to be the greatest of all hoaxes...EVER!

 

The Russian hacker(s) released 61 megabytes of confidential files. The site - apparently originating in Tomsk, Siberia - is now down (closed).

 

Here is a sample of the purportedly hacked material (1079 e-mails) that had been available online:

From: Phil Jones
To: ray bradley ,mann@XXXX, mhughes@XXXX
Subject: Diagram for WMO Statement


Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,

I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i.e. from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline.

 

Mike's series got the annual land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999 for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.

Thanks for the comments, Ray.

 

Cheers
Phil

  

Suspiciously, things began getting a bit shaky when "global warming" was esoterically morphed into 'climate change'. Then, in conjunction, the EPA "reclassified" CO2 as a "greenhouse gas." The stage was now set: the weather itself had become politicized:

 

- Blizzards in China? Climate change.

- Snow in Saudi Arabia? Excess greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. 

- Volcano eruption in Pago-Pago? Silly fool; it's climate change.

- Atlanta flooded by 11 eleven inches of rain? Yep - it's that nasty ol' climate change thing.

 

Until the Russian 'saviors' had intervened, UN liberals had been well-poised to use CO2 as a pretext to bankrupt developed countries; they would transfer trillions of their dollars to the "underdeveloped" nations by charging penalties pegged to carbon emissions (per metric ton).

 

But If Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a such a grave danger (as the EPA tells us) what is it doing in our childrens’ soft drinks? And why has it been delineated as a so-called greenhouse gas?

 

The IPCC (Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change) had for twenty years been using computer models that ominously had predicted a warming rate in the troposphere; with rises of 1.2* Centigrade per decade, using calculations based upon 'greenhouse-forcing' scenarios.

 

This implied carbon-tax increases of $14 to $24 per-ton - per DECADE.

 

At the upper end of the IPCC "warming forecast," emissions' taxes would have reached upwards of $200 per ton of CO2 by 2050, forcing major carbon-emitters into bankruptcy, and a presumptive global shift to "non-carbon" energy sources.

 

But why not avoid the controversy altogether? Tie all carbon taxes to ACTUAL levels of warming. Both skeptics and alarmists alike would've had their wishes answered - problem solved!

 

Now hacked e-mails lay bare the truth: the IPCC and the leftists in our Congress care nothing about saving Earth. Rather, they have been all about creating problems: fabricating a "global warming crisis" to  further their own agenda - social justice. Or more specifically..."climate justice."

 

"Climate justice" is about redistribution of money from consumer countries (USA) to poorer countries in South America & Africa (the UN will conference in Copenhagen until December 18 to achieve this noble goal).

 

In the United States, climate justice says everyone in the middle class shall pay energy taxes; providing money to the welfare leeches (in the urban areas) for their energy needs.

 

The House Cap 'n Trade Bill provides these energy taxes to be distributed to "historically disadvantaged" urban areas. This same wording also lies in the "Stimulus" package.

 

The "endangered" coal-fired plants in the Midwest would be forced to double their rates; the energy users (everyone) would effectively be subsidizing the "poor". Hence, the leeches would get free "energy vouchers" to pay for their heating & energy costs.

 

Farmers would be devastated: cap 'n trade levies a charge of $20 for one sheep, $100 for a beef cow, $150 per head of dairy cattle. Reasoning? Methane output. Future food prices? Up 50%!  

 

In wonderful Ohio - First Energy, an Akron utility, sent two energy-saving compact flourescent light-bulbs (CFLs) to customers, charging them $21 - whether they wanted them or not. The idea? - to compensate First Energy for future costs relevant to Ohio’s new law requiring utilities to reduce coal consumption 22.2 percent by 2025.

 

If states require utilities to reduce coal consumption, or use more expensive 'renewable' energy sources, rising rates must make up the difference - meaning less disposable income; more job losses - sending manufacturing jobs fleeing overseas to China.

 

In West Virginia, if the House cap-and-trade bill became law, 11,000  mining jobs would be gone in less than 15 years, according to a study commissioned by the National Association of Manufacturers.

 

"West Virginia's coal production would fall 85.1 percent; electricity production by 18.6 percent by 2030." According to the study, the poor would especially bear the brunt: they spend a greater share of their income on energy than people in higher income brackets.

 

And if the Senate should eventually pass their version, what then?

What about the airlines? What about cab drivers? What about truckers? What happens to our conventional cars? Because of bans on domestic drilling, America has been devastated enough by high fuel costs for the last several years.

 

This ‘cap n trade’ nonsense will force a vast majority of Americans to park their transportation, not to mention the conventional energy jobs lost because of the lunacy surrounding the "restructuring" of America into a new "greener" economy.

 

The push to smaller cars will mean fewer jobs in Detroit, plus all the concomitant satellite industries. Already, tens of thousands of jobs in the petroleum industry are gone because of restricted drilling policies, and an effective ban on refineries. Cap 'n trade will ulimately accomplish the subsidizing of US jobs to competing countries - ravaging employment once found here.
 
And what about the granddaddy of all job growth...the US domestic car industry? Look what stricter CAFE standards have already done. Many US consumers cling ferociously to their older, conventional LARGE cars - portending defeat to the electric car market before it even gets off the ground.

 

Global warming; climate change; so-called 'dirty gasoline' automobiles...all a pretext to destroy our freedoms. 

 

Americans love their conventional cars, and will part with them only as a last resort.

 

But now that so-called global warming is in question, what happens to GM after all the money poured into developing its new, renewable-energy cars? Small cars, not only expensive and ugly, but inherently dangerous as well!

 

A recent study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that electric vehicles (and hybrids with all-electric drive mode) are three times more likely to be involved in pedestrian accidents at intersections and crosswalks.

 

The National Federation for the Blind has been lobbying  automakers and the federal government to address the problem by ensuring that battery-powered cars make some sort of noise that will alert the sight-impaired to their presence.

 

And it’s not just the blind who have to worry: even slow-moving hybrids can get 40 percent closer to pedestrians than a combustion-engine car before being detected.

 

This endangers runners, walkers, children and bicyclists alike, who rely on hearing to place traffic around them. Hence, once electric cars become common, far more accidents and fatalities will occur than many realize.

 

Now, back to that "climate change" hoax, and its incredibly negative consequences: Add up the huge financial losses. The uncertainty and anxiety to be found everywhere. The destiny of so many lives now irretrievably altered.

 

Jobs departed. Livelihoods endangered. Increasing accidents. Our once-convenient lifestyles...our disposable incomes...our cherished American way of life - gone for what?

 

Because of some phony scam? - perpetrated by a condescending, desperado group of so-called climatologists? Laughing amongst themselves; arrogantly exchanging e-mails; congratulating one another; supportive of a scheme whereby the UN would control of much of the world's wealth.

 

But fortuituously, it now seems very much in doubt.

 

Americans are some of the most civilized, rational, and intelligent people on earth. If climate change truly portended danger, we all would be in unison about fixing the problem, before it could make life on our fragile planet even worse.

 

When the US Olympians arrived in China last year, they were shocked at the impurity of Beijing's smog-shrouded, filthy, coal-fouled air.

 

And everywhere, the global warmongers shouted "SEE... it's real! We need controls!"

 

But climate change is all about obfuscation:

 

Obfuscating data to show warming in place of actual cooling.

 

Obfuscating science to condemn harmlessCO2 as a greenhouse gas.

 

Obfuscating fossil fuel producers as agents of global warming - rather than only polluters. 

 

John Glenn not long ago had commented that the "blue earth" image he once saw from space was now grayer - much hazier than his original voyage as an astronaut in 1962.

 

Yes; carbon pollution is real; and the world must unite that it be cleaned up:

 

But Global Warming is a ruse - used by fear mongers (Gore), Congressional politicians, and the UN con artists of the IPCC - to vacuum money from our pockets.

 

Oil & coal - like stone - are pertinent to Earth's composition; they are not fossil fuels!

 

Climate Change is nothing other than a leftist scam to displace our Constitution and Bill of Rights.  To weaken America until it is "equal" to the rest of the world. 

 

Who has proven global warming even exists? 

 

The Russian hackers have inadvertently defined Climate Change for what it has been all along: a left wing, world-wide, wealth-redistributionist game - to buy Democratic votes. Nothing more.

 

There are no accurate ways to measure global warming; nor "increasing  CO2 levels," because carbon dioxide is germane to the air around us.

 

The attempt to tax us into submission, and destroy the economic base of our great country - making America part of a “One World Nation - has been exposed.

Obama's AP invasion

 

All through the summer of 1938, Britain & France believed that Adolf Hitler planned to strike at the Sudetenland - perhaps the whole of Czechoslovakia.

 

The Treaty of Versailles had left 3 million ethnic Germans residing in "Sudeten" - an economically valuable area, situated strategically amongst the Czech, German, and Austrian borders. Thus, Hitler sought to annex the land, where he would then control the area geographically centered in the middle of Europe.  

 

But first, Hitler would need a REASON to invade the Sudetenland.

 

Contrary to common belief, Adolf Hitler had no intention of starting a World War. The German mainstream population would never support it. In fact, many of Hitler's generals, having fought in the horrid trenches of World War I, were decidedly opposed to any type of military aggression unless Germany was first attacked.

 

Thus, Hitler cleverly determined brinksmanship would best serve his purpose: he would frighten the bordering countries into submission- using the German military as a last resort.

 

Now Josef Goebbels; Germany's famed propaganda minister, would step to the fore: He ordered the German press to commence a massive propaganda barrage against Czechoslovakia, preparing the German people for a possible invasion.

 

The German newspapers were filled with accounts of mass arrests of innocent Germans in the Sudetenland; there were the inevitable circumstantial stories by phantom German foreign correspondents.

 

Nonexistent people in nonexistent villages were being slaughtered. The Czech government attempted to refute the massive lies, but later gave up in abject despair.

 

Hitler had now been given his pretext for invasion:

 

 "The misery of the Sudeten Germans is without end," he declared. Hitler had promised that Germany would "take care of her own" and put an end to the continued oppression of 3 million Germans. "I hope that the foreign statesman will be convinced that these are not mere words," the Feuhrer added ominously.

 

Although his rhetorical tone was gravely threatening, Hitler cleverly gave NO EXAMPLES of Czech atrocities, letting one's imagination do his evil bidding.

 

Of course, we are aware of what happened next:

 

A frightened Neville Chamberlain (British Prime minister) sent off a terse telegram to Hitler..."Having regard to the increasingly critical situation, I propose to visit you immediately, in order to make an attempt to find a peaceful solution."

 

On September 29th, 1938 the Munich Conference was held. It was the sellout of Czechoslavakia to Adolf Hitler. Neville Chamberlain would go down as History's all time dupe, as he arrived back in England, blithely declaring... "Peace in our time!"

 

Hitler's victory was complete: the Sudetenland was his.

 

In March 1939, the Munich pact was nullified. The Germans invaded Czechoslovakia, and subsequently - believing the English and French had no will to fight - Hitler then invaded Poland on Sept.1, triggering the start of what would evolve into World War II.

 

But in the final analysis, historians have omitted the true origin of the war. It was not the infamous Munich Pact; it was not the Treaty of Versailles; and as previously mentioned, it was not Hitler's purposeful intention to initiate a world conflagration.

 

Without the righteous indignation of the German people - falsely led to believe that their Sudeten Aryan brothers were being beaten and murdered - Hitler knew his territorial ambitions would remain thwarted.

 

Indeed; what had started the whole conflict was the Nazi press; stirring up the German people with phony reasons to be angry; masterfully authored by propagandist-in-chief, Josef Goebbels.

 

But it would not be the first time that an evil despot had employed propaganda, and misled his people toward his own evil purposes - nor would it be the last. 

 

Which of course leads us to the present, and yet another intolerant despot, who would use the press to manipulate his own people, treating them condescendingly, as though no other belief - save his own- could exist.

 

EXAMPLE: Let's use Barack Obama's unofficial propaganda arm, the brown-nosers at the Associated Press, to depict the sophisticated - yet barely perceptive - line of baloney Obama uses to manipulate "the masses" about the "threat" of global warming.

 

NOTE: as we review the press release, we shall also stop to analyze:

 

(begin press release)

 

AP: President Barack Obama, in a speech Friday in Boston, said he believes "a consensus" is emerging in Congress on the climate issue. But he also accused some opponents of making "cynical claims that contradict the overwhelming scientific evidence" that the earth is becoming warmer in an attempt to derail legislation.'

 

Stop right there, being noteworthy of the two phrases, "the overwhelming scientific evidence"...and..."he accused some opponents of making cynical claims."

 

We, as Americans should be fearful of this demagogic liar: Is there overwhelming scientific evidence the climate has changed? Have you looked outside your window lately? Seen anything unusual?

 

Does Obama offer any examples of  this "overwhelming evidence"?

 

And what about Obama's accusations against opponents "making cynical claims"? Does that sound like proper rhetoric for an American president? Or is this not an exact PARALLEL to what Hitler did, in his takeover of the Sudetenland, without a shot being fired?

 

The similar methodologies of the two cannot be overlooked! Remove the goose-stepping militarism and Obama & Hitler seem virtual Siamese twins.

 

Just as Hitler gave no specific examples of Czech atrocities against dislocated Germans, Barack Obama offers no specific evidence of global warming. Just as Hitler let the tone of his rhetoric intimidate the British, Obama does exactly that, in his warning that any opposition is just "cynical claims to the contrary."

 

In retrospect, Hitler initiated a military conflict against his FOREIGN enemies. Barack Obama is fighting his own callous war against all DOMESTIC opposition - the comparison being that both dictators are (were) quite cunning in using the press as purveyors of their evil propaganda.

 

Face the stark reality America: Dictator Obama has now let it be known; he will tolerate no dissenters! Seig hiel!

 

But you're still not convinced? Let's proceed onward, using that same speech, as we pick up the second paragraph of the AP release:

 

(Quote)..."There are those who will suggest that moving toward clean energy will destroy our economy, when it's the system we currently have that endangers our prosperity, and prevents us from creating millions of new jobs," Obama told his audience at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

 

Again stop right there: Listen to this lunatic!

 

He not only seeks to intimidate all dissenting opinion, he is tacitly declaring war on our entire, conventional energy-based economy! Note how he cleverly adds the phrase..."prevents us from creating millions of new jobs."

 

Just as Hitler blamed the Jewish in the1930's for Germany's depression, Obama  scapegoats those who wish to maintain our economic (and energy) status quo; so WHERE is the difference?

 

Note how cleverly Obama ties it all into one brief speech:

 

He sets the premise that global warming is "scientific fact," then goes on to lend credence to the falsehood that if we don't immediately abandon fossil fuels, we imperil the great "green economy" that manipulator Obama declares is at hand.

 

Rejoice everyone! The great green energy revolution - and the jobs bonanza along with it - is on the way; and all we need do is begin building windmills, abandon coal and gasoline, and let those good times ROLL!

 

Is anyone stupid enough to believe this? Has there even been a more haughty, condescending radical in the Whitehouse? And worse, anyone who disagrees is to be marginalized as a cynic?

 

But you say you still don't believe that Obama is dangerous? Or that it's patently absurd that some dare compare him to Hitler? Well try on these brownshirts for size, and see if you're not convinced.

 

Herein folows an excerpt from Obama's campaign speech, on July 2, 2008, in Colorado Springs:

 

(QUOTE)..."We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

 

Note: For those ignorant of World History, kindly google "brownshirts" and witness the stunning similarity in the objectives of Barack Obama vs. how Hitler rose to power in the mid 1930's.

 

But even the so-called "true reporters" of the news (Fox, and the big name conservative talkers) are remiss in calling a "spade a spade."  They also want not to be accused of "unfair comparisons" i.e. that Barack Obama in any way resembles Hitler


But as the axiom goes..."LET TRUTH BE TOLD."

 

Barack Obama is the most intolerant president in U.S. history: he seeks to marginalize any who disagree, letting propangandist Rahm Emanuel go on Sunday morning political shows, to paint Fox as "not being a news organization."

 

Adolf Hitler did the same thing - but quicker...he would "liquidate" any who opposed him.

 

Barack Obama has stifled truth, intimidated his opponents, and sued his way to the Whitehouse; Hitler won an election in 1933, by the same basic path, with the focus being on INTIMIDATION.  

 

Barack Obama is the most secretive president in U.S. history: like Hitler once did, he works exclusively behind closed doors - clandestinely plotting his socialist takeover of America.

 

But the salient point is this: Hitler was a power-mad lunatic, who manipulated the press, used his militaristic National Socialism Party to take over Germany, but was then thwarted in his futile attempt to conquer the world.

 

Now - similar to an algebra problem- take out the above "militaristic" part, and "substitute" for Hitler. Does not the name of Barack Obama fit the equation rather nicely?

 

Obama may not be out to conquer the world, but complete government control of the U.S. economy isn't a bad place to start.
