One of the scarier scenarios I see unfolding today is the policies that are being proposed and voted on in DC that are based on global warming. For God’s sake, the only proof these Statists have are models of the future. Models are not proof. In fact, the UNIPCC models are so far off base vs. real observations that they should be mothballed. Certainly they should NOT be used for policy setting.
I dont know about you, but I get really tired of hearing all these jokers like Al Gore, and now Arnold, sucking up to federal science funding as long as they back the AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) crowd who scream in the dark that the science is settled regarding man-made global warming. Please dont get me started on Dr. Hansen of NASA. He is a liar.

I have placed a link here so you can see a large number of real academics agree with the statement below submitted to the American Physical Society. For a list of signatores, please click on the link and read their titles. Now then, the next time you hear ALGORE given a “pass” by media or even your friends, stop them, cry BULLSHIT at the top of your voice, then call me.

Regarding the National Policy Statement on Climate Change of the APS Council: An Open Letter to the Council of the American Physical Society
——————————————————————————–
As physicists who are familiar with the science issues, and as current and past members of the American Physical Society, we the undersigned urge the Council to revise its current statement* on climate change as follows, so as to more accurately represent the current state of the science:
Greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, accompany human industrial and agricultural activity. While substantial concern has been expressed that emissions may cause significant climate change, measured or reconstructed temperature records indicate that 20th and 21st century changes are neither exceptional nor persistent, and the historical and geological records show many periods warmer than today. In addition, there is an extensive scientific literature that examines beneficial effects of increased levels of carbon dioxide for both plants and animals.
Studies of a variety of natural processes, including ocean cycles and solar variability, indicate that they can account for variations in the Earth’s climate on the time scale of decades and centuries. Current climate models appear insufficiently reliable to properly account for natural and anthropogenic contributions to past climate change, much less project future climate.
The APS supports an objective scientific effort to understand the effects of all processes—natural and human—on the Earth’s climate and the biosphere’s response to climate change, and promotes technological options for meeting challenges of future climate changes, regardless of cause.
I have a great idea. How about he starts going Dutch with the Country on his little dinner dates! Here’s a report I found about a recent trip to Manhattan for Date Night with that “fine mamma”, Michelle: From a former Air Force Colonel..
Subject: The Date
First, let me say that I’ve moved three presidents up to now and I’ve seen incredible waste. But, the “new” guy really takes the cake. I don’t have an issue with the President promising his wife dinner and a show or that he even takes his wife out. But, when I saw the news say that the date cost $24,000, here’s what you DON’T know.
Three days before “dinner,” a C-17 flew Marines and the helicopter maintenance equipment to JFK Airport.
The day before “dinner,” I flew the USSS (Secret Service) and the motorcade to JFK Airport.
Our crew of five spent two days and nights at the Hilton in Times Square . My hotel bill: $621.66 plus $64 a day in per diem. The USSS guys were at a different Hilton in NYC, so figure that cost another $14,000 (or so) plus per diem. The Marines had to have cost as much and were there four days, so figure another $55,000 plus per diem (for 44 Marines).
We were supposed to fly the motorcade back and go home, but the Air Force was so short of C-17’s that we were re-tasked to take the motorcade back, return to JFK and take the helicopter back to Quantico.
When we got back to JFK, while the pilot was turning the plane around to park, he noticed a rotor blade sticking out of the hangar where the helicopter was parked and informed me that either it wasn’t ready to transport or it was flying home. After shutting down, I walked over to the hangar and to my surprise I find FIVE helicopters, not ONE.
We’re obviously not transporting five big helicopters. I went and talked to the Marines guarding the “fleet” and found that they were flying all five helicopters home and we were only transporting the Marines and the maintenance equipment. After talking to the Marine(s) in charge, I was told that the White House requested FIVE helicopters. The Marines told me that they spent all morning trying to figure out how much it cost them to come and said they figured it cost them $140,000 to stay there (I don’t know where they came up with that) and the trip’s total had to be about $1,000,000.
We heard that the President didn’t use Air Force One (the 747), so I asked if he came in on one of the 757’s. I was told that he came in on THREE Air Force Lear jets.
So, date night consisted of two C-17’s flying three missions, three Lear jets, five helicopters, a Presidential Motorcade, 44 Marines, more than 20 USSS personnel on our plane. Who knows what it cost the NYPD and NY Port Authority (at the airport) in overtime.
These are the same people who chastised the automobile CEO’s for using their aircraft. It further proves that the media only use the facts that make the President look good and hide any facts that will detract from his persona..
Is this the ‘change’ we expected?
Talk with friends and those who are not blinded by charisma. Many folks I know who voted for Obama are very disappointed and sorry they did so. The Emperor’s clothes on a grand scale. “Transparency”? Remember, 2010 is just around the corner. All we have to do is survive long enough.
Found a new blogsite that is quite interesting. Its the anti Ed Perlmutter site affectionally named anyonebuted, Check it out http://www.anyonebuted.com/
I had to look at my calendar this am to make sure it wasnt April 1st (Fools Day). Barak Obama won the Nobel prize for PEACE!?!?!?!?!
It further cheapens the award. But what can you expect from an organization that thinks Al Gore is spot on regarding Anthropogenic Global Warming.
Crusty the Clown is next.
Can someone please defend this racist, narcissist, dope some choose to call Mr. President?
Too bad whatever he wrote, he wrote in Russian!!! He is probably some guy wanting me to marry his sister!!!
Lisa tells me if I build it, they will come. Lets see.
