Global Warming Is Officially Over, Suck It Greenies!

Like I've been saying for years now (along with several others), mankind did not cause global warming, and mankind has not curbed global warming either. If you listen to Al Gore and his ilk you know that, according to them, man has not done anything to improve the environment ... so don't let them try to take credit here.

No doubt there will be wide spread panic tomorrow in the greenie community to counter this evidence. Their tactic will likely include widespread suppression of the issue by ignoring it. One might think they would try to discredit this info, but they simply can't. The satellite data is nothing new at all, but the greenies ignored it several other times it was published. The greenies have also never responded to NASA's repeated attempts to explain that the sun is the cause of global warming not only here, but on virtually every other planet ... not humans. Why? The answer is simple ... they can't counter the argument, and if they ignore it the idiots out there will never know it even happened. They've also paid no attention to scientists telling everyone that the planet's temperature has fluctuated for the past 10,000 years naturally, and without our help. Hell, even the dinosaurs were the victims of global warming.

I've been celebrating all day now that I know that global warming is officially over.

Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile -- the list goes on and on.

No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.

A compiled list of all the sources can be seen here. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to wipe out nearly all the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year's time. For all four sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.

I guess the founder of the Weather Channel was right about global warming being a crock eh? This does explain why scientist have been so baffled, and humbled, by the current weather patterns being so cold.

Scientists quoted in a past DailyTech article link the cooling to reduced solar activity which they claim is a much larger driver of climate change than man-made greenhouse gases. The dramatic cooling seen in just 12 months time seems to bear that out. While the data doesn't itself disprove that carbon dioxide is acting to warm the planet, it does demonstrate clearly that more powerful factors are now cooling it.

As it turns out, NASA was right after all. Gee, who'd have thunk it.

Rest assured my little greenie friends ... the article still spells out doom for our planet because apparently cold is worse than heat. Which means you still have a cause to fight for by simply reverting back to the 1970's mantra that the planet was headed for a deep freeze, and then when it begins to warm again you can restart the cause of global warming. So you see, there is plenty to keep you occupied with. Problem is if global warming is less of an issue than global cooling ... maybe global warming was never a really big deal to begin with.

The way I see it, we need to make some changes, and start recognizing some basic truths.

Even though the US is performing better than the Kyoto countries in reducing carbon emissions we have a golden opportunity to squash the competition by removing all of our climate change restrictions on private business. Furthermore, since we know that carbon credits are a huge scam, that is stealing millions of dollars from the world's populations, we should put an end to these illegal businesses. We should also make sure that Kyoto is properly investigated for causing economic hardships, and needlessly destroying the world's forests.

It is also time that we launch massive investigation into the scientific community to find out which scientist continued to lie and manipulate data about global warming in order to get funding. You should already know the huge amounts of money involved with supporting global warming arguments through funding (over $80 billion). While we are punishing those scientist who have lied about global warming in order to get money ... we should reward the majority of published scientist that were honest by saying man is not responsible, or that there was not enough evidence to say either way. Less than half of published scientist support man-made global warming, so the investigation should go fairly quick.

It's also time that we accept polar bears are not in danger, and in fact are increasing their populations. However, we must be concerned with sea otters. It's time to save the poor little sea otters!

We should also consider not blaming our innocent children for destroying the planet. They have enough on their plate, and they deserve to get a good night's sleep without having nightmares about dieing in the middle of the night because of global warming. At least 6th graders are smart enough to know that man isn't causing global warming. Can you say the same?

We can also buy ourselves some nice SUVs without feeling guilty, and we no longer have to worry about sports cars being outlawed. Why not start eating Ben & Jerry's ice cream again while driving your new SUV. Since we don't have to worry about global warming anymore ... ice cream is safe. Well, not entirely safe ... they still have hidden soy products to slowly kill children and men.

It's a good thing global warming ended when it did so we don't have to worry about mercury poisoning with the CFL bulbs that congress keeps trying to shove down our throat. Whew, that was a close call. Now we can hold off until the even more energy efficient, and perfectly safe, LED bulbs hit the market in mass.

There have been some serious budget issue with regards to global warming that we don't need to worry about anymore either. Those new emissions standards that may ruin America's auto industry won't be necessary any longer. The military and intelligence community can also continue to focus on defending the country and fighting the war on terror without worrying about conducting war games to test how global warming will affect national security.

John Travolta can also stick around on Earth to entertain us with his acting,which is quite good, rather than going to another planet.

One of the best parts of global warming ending is that the UN will finally address the real issues that are causing the genocide in Darfur. Rather than wasting their time trying to tie Darfur to nonsensical theories. The conflict in Darfur predates the United States, it was not caused by global warming.

So you see, there is some work to be done now that global warming is no more. The predators who have preyed upon gullible people need to be punished, and those who stuck up for us rewarded. Even if it's only a thank you, but some funding for their research would be nice. The American people stand to get a windfall in money that the government no longer needs for climate change programs. We can only wait to see how our government will spend that money, but rest assured we won't get it back. My only hope is that it goes for truly necessary programs like veterans assistance, or a super dooper death ray mounted in space to evaporate our enemies. At a bare minimum I hope the money we save, from these now unnecessary programs, will be enough to cover the massive costs of the social programs Hillary and Obama have proposed, because I fear one of them will be president and we don't have the money to cover those programs.

Yep, The US Is Still Doing Better Than Kyoto Countries On Emissions

It's been a year since you were last told that the US is doing better at reducing emissions than the Kyoto nations. Now it seems that some nations to have signed Kyoto are increasing their emissions by 80%.

Aftenposten:

Just as Norwegian delegates to the UN's conference on climate change started heading home from Bali, came news that Norway's own carbon emissions rose 80 percent from 1990 to 2004. Statoil's refinery at Mongstad is the biggest contributor.

So how exactly do they plan to fix this problem? Well, they don't. Instead they are invoking the Ultimate Scam, and using carbon credits.

Erik Solheim, the government minister in charge of environmental issues who was in Bali last week, admits that Norway's own high level of emissions is "embarrassing." That's why the government plans to donate NOK 15 billion (nearly USD 3 billion) over the next five years to help preserve the world's rain forests. That's viewed as an efficient way of offsetting carbon emissions.

I hate to be a scrooge so close to the holidays, but only the worst of dimwits view carbon credits as an efficient way of offsetting emissions. Let's not forget that Guyana slammed Kyoto's carbon credit scheme, and Kyoto's carbon credit program has also been causing deforestation.

Basically, Kyoto along with all of the signatory nations are FUBAR. Meanwhile, the US continues to grow its economy, reduce its emissions, and all without sacrificing any freedoms to a foreign body while throwing away billions of dollars. God bless capitalism!

Carbon Credits, Kyoto Causing Deforestation

One more chapter has been added to the growing novel of the carbon credit scam. This story picks up where Guyana getting uber pissed at Kyoto left off.

Essentially, the carbon credit scheme we have in place now is causing greedy money grabbers to cut down their forests so they can get paid.

Alter Net:

The current carbon market actually encourages cutting down some of the world's biggest forests, which would unleash tonnes of climate-warming carbon into the atmosphere, a new study reported on Monday.

Under the Kyoto Protocol aimed at stemming climate change, there is no profitable reason for the 10 countries and one French territory with 20 percent of Earth's intact tropical forest to maintain this resource, according to a study in the journal Public Library of Science Biology.

The Kyoto treaty and other talks on global warming focus on so-called carbon credits for countries and companies that plant new trees where forests have been destroyed.

At this point, there is no credit for countries that keep the forests they have, the study said.

"The countries that haven't really been the target of deforestation have nothing to sell because they haven't deforested anything," said Gustavo Fonseca, one of the study's authors.

Gee where have I heard that before.

"So that creates a perverse incentive for them to actually start deforesting, so that in the future, they might be allowed to actually cap-and-trade, as they call it: you put a cap on your deforestation and you trade that piece that hasn't been deforested," Fonseca said in a telephone interview.

The countries most at risk for this kind of deforestation, because they all have more than half their original forests intact, are Panama, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Peru, Belize, Gabon, Guyana, Suriname, Bhutan and Zambia, along with the French territory of French Guiana.

These places need a system of credits to involve them in the "global deforestation avoidance market," said Fonseca, of the World Bank's Global Environment Facility.

The carbon credit scam, just like the global warming scam, is nothing short of a for-profit business that deals with billions upon billions of dollars.

Guyana Slams Kyoto Carbon Credit Scheme

Pwned! I've already told you that carbon credits are a scam, and have been proven to be in three investigations ... including one by the UN. The US has also reduced emissions more that the Kyoto countries, and now Guyana is uber pissed.

Breitbart:

Guyana's President Bharrat Jagdeo on Thursday criticized the Kyoto Protocol on climate change for failing to allow countries like his nation with pristine unharvested forests to earn carbon credits.

"The Kyoto Protocol is limited in that sense, and it's short-sighted in that it encourages bad behaviour basically among countries; if you cut down trees and you plant them back you get money, if you preserve them, you don't get anything," Jagdeo told a forum on agro-energy.

The Guyanese leader noted that Guyana would reap "miniscule" assistance under the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol when the South American country begins large-scale production of ethanol and other types of agro-based energy.

He said Guyana has decided to get into the production of bio-fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. But "assistance is miniscule through the Clean Development Mechanism as compared to the carbon credits we could get from standing forests," said Jagdeo, a Russian-trained economist.

So much for helping out the developing countries of the world eh.

Now That Carbon Credits Have Been Shown To Be A Fraud ... Are People Still Dumb Enough To Fall For The Scam?

The answer is a resounding yes.

Remember how I told you carbon and methane credits were "The Ultimate Scam" before anyone was seriously looking at it? Since then every blog and talk show host has begun providing the evidence of the carbon credit scam. There has even been an investigation that concluded the companies involved in this lie were, in fact, scam artists. Now there is another investigation by the UN that shows further fraud by carbon credit companies.

The Guardian:

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which is supposed to offset greenhouse gases emitted in the developed world by selling carbon credits from elsewhere, has been contaminated by gross incompetence, rule-breaking and possible fraud by companies in the developing world, according to UN paperwork, an unpublished expert report and alarming feedback from projects on the ground.

So once again I present to you a harty "see, I told you so."

Not only have I told you repeatedly about the scam of carbon credits, but I've told you that governments were a part of the fraud, and that the outcome would be more greenhouse gas emissions ... not less. Turns out I'm a psychic!

Since these are used by European governments and corporations to justify increases in emissions, the effect is that in some cases malpractice at the CDM has added to the net amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.

There is tons more evidence of fraud in the article.

I wonder what companies who push carbon credits while contributing to increased greenhouse emissions (like Ben & Jerry's) will say about the second full fledged investigation showing fraud. Hell, even Al Gore himself said being carbon neutral is a fraud.

If nothing else, the "credit" business has allowed free thinking entrepreneurs to come up with a "credit" for everything, and make a legitimate business venture out of the idea.

Environmentalist Groups Says Children Are Bad For The Planet

God I love it when they release statements even more stupid than the statement before. The group is Optimum Population Trust, and they have a problem with families having children.

Source:

John Guillebaud, co-chairman of OPT and emeritus professor of family planning at University College London, said: "The effect on the planet of having one child less is an order of magnitude greater than all these other things we might do, such as switching off lights.

"The greatest thing anyone in Britain could do to help the future of the planet would be to have one less child."

Just have one less child everyone, and everything will be ok. The didn't address the sun heating up in their statement so I have no idea how they will fix that little problem.

They went on to say that couples shouldn't have more than two kids. Isn't that about average anyway? What about the couples who only have one kid? Can they give their extra kid to another couple who would like three kids? It's the same amount of total children. We can make it like a carbon-credit for children. If you want to produce more pollutants (ie children) you can purchase a "baby-credit" to have another child. You would get this from a couple who has a credit, or two, left over from their children making. If they aren't going to use it they can then sell it to another couple to have an additional child. It's capitalistic and environmentally friendly!

Also, do you get a refund on your "baby-credits" if you have a miscarriage, or if your toddler should pass away? What would be the time period be before you can no longer redeem the credit, and try to have another child?

Clearly this group is in love with China's environmental program. China, the other day, revealed that their child limits (1 per family) had reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Apparently forced abortions can work.

This group needs to see the movie Children of Men to get an idea of what a world looks like without babies.

Investigations Show Carbon Credits Are A Fraud

Those of us who know that are not surprised. You other idiots, however, have made scam artists rich.

While I have told you several times they are frauds, and even pointed out how these "carbon credits" are peddled by companies ... many didn't believe me. Well, now the Financial Times has reported on widespread fraud from companies claiming to erase your carbon footprint.

Companies and individuals rushing to go green have been spending millions on “carbon credit” projects that yield few if any environmental benefits.

A Financial Times investigation has uncovered widespread failings in the new markets for greenhouse gases, suggesting some organisations are paying for emissions reductions that do not take place.

Others are meanwhile making big profits from carbon trading for very small expenditure and in some cases for clean-ups that they would have made anyway.

I love how they go on to describe the "green gold rush." They also give you a summary of the investigation's findings if you aren't a reader.

Greenies ... you've been pwned!

Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream ... Cooling You Off While Killing The Planet

Ever since Ben & Jerry's started churning out their uniquely named frozen delights I've heard the same thing over and over again: "It's addictive!" People everywhere flocked to the ice cream stand, and the grocery store to pay way too much for ice cream that was easily 200-300% more expensive than the competition. I personally have never been a fan of the Ben & Jerry's brand, and this was long before I knew about their politics.

I was only a kid on a date when I figured I would impress her with splurging for Ben & Jerry's at one of their shops. After all, everyone loved Ben & Jerry's ... I couldn't lose. As I fought through the agony of paying $10-$12 for two smalls (at the time I could have had 3x as much ice cream for $1.25 elsewhere) my date slowly relished her treat. I, on the other hand, found the flavor to be bland by current standards, and vowed to never make that mistake again.

I never could understand why so many people would say that Ben & Jerry's was addictive, and I often joked that they put crack in their ice cream to keep people coming back for more. Perhaps they did, or maybe it was just the kooky names that kept people interested, but it was not the flavor. No one pays several times more for ice cream that has less flavor than the competition ... no one. I figured once everyone realized that Ben & Jerry's wasn't worth the extra money they would say they tried something new, and return to 31 Flavors or, better yet, Thrifty. No such luck.

While I still don't have a handle on why Ben & Jerry's survived, and excelled, in the ice cream wars ... they have improved. They have more unique flavors now, and have begun to add flavors together that were previously only a creation you made yourself. I have long known about their politics, and every now and then I will try Ben & Jerry's again to see if my tastes have changed. Still, I find it bland with little texture. Same as when I was a kid.

I recently decided to try the Vermonty Python flavor, and I will admit it's the best of theirs I've had, but not worthy of buying again. I happened to notice on the container a message about how they oppose rGHB (recombinant bovine growth hormone), and was a little surprised that they were putting activist messages on their product label. Not that there is anything wrong with this particular message, but I decided to look a little further at their company's activism. This was really in response to Ben & Jerry's opening a new manufacturing facility here in Nevada for environmental reasons.

As Ben & Jerry’s grows, locating additional production closer to our western markets is a responsible environmental decision that reflects our values,” Ben & Jerry’s CEO Walt Freese said in a statement.

As you recall in my piece The Ultimate Scam companies are selling methane credits. They're like carbon credits, but for flatulence. You can buy methane credits for your farts, your grandma's farts, and even your pet's farts. In case you didn't know ... methane is a greenhouse gas, and the greenies say that farting is helping to destroy the world. They often blame mankind's use of farm animals as a major reason. To be succinct ... farts cause global warming, and it's all man's fault. Got it ... good! That's important for later.

BenJerry.com is an interesting website to say the least, and it has a wealth of information. Not only does it have the typical data on the company and its products, but it has a ton of information on global warming.

Exhibit A:

It's not everyday that you see a global warming link on a desert's website. What do you do when you come to a series of bricks? Follow them, of course. That's where I found ...

Exhibit B:

I decided to take a look at the partners to Ben & Jerry's global warming quest, and found nothing out of the ordinary. A couple of big names (1 or 2 active in eco-terror), and a lot of smaller names.

Exhibit C:

From here is where I start to find amusement in my playing around on their site. As you can see Ben & Jerry's is clearly devoted to the global warming cause. Most of us knew that already, but it gets better so bare with me.

Remember we talked a little about carbon credits earlier. Carbon credits allow you to continue to pollute, but feel better about yourself for polluting, by giving a company some money so they can "invest" in eco-friendly technology. Just so we are clear ... these companies are a scam, and provide little to no proof that they have actually reduced your greenhouse gas emissions. Most of their claims are factually impossible, and are frauds.

Exhibit D:

You'll notice the top link to reduce your carbon pollution on the top left above. When you click it you get to ...

Exhibit E:

Ben & Jerry's even has a link to a petition to support two environmental bills in Congress.

Exhibit F:

It doesn't appear that Ben & Jerry's read either of these proposed bills because it would require them to make some pretty hefty business changes. You can even find an environmental impact study on themselves on their website.

So why am I harping on Ben & Jerry's ice cream for global warming, and carbon credits? Am I going to tell you that there manufacturing causes global warming? No, they've already admitted, and addressed that. It appears to me that Ben & Jerry's is looking into reducing their "carbon footprint" via methods other than the fraudulent carbon credits. Even though they are promoting the credits they have actively sought ways of improving their infrastructure. No, I don't know if they have any investments in a carbon credit company, but I wouldn't be surprised.

The reason I'm addressing Ben & Jerry's is because they are active in the global warming debate to the tune of devoting most of their website to it. While some believe carbon is the primary greenhouse enemy ... others believe methane is. Al Gore even said methane is 23x worse than carbon dioxide. Ben & Jerry's ice cream is knee deep in methane contribution. While they may be encouraging their customers to buy carbon credits ... they aren't doing anything about their serious methane problem.

I told you to remember The Ultimate Scam, and the methane credits being offered by some companies. The arguments by these companies, and others, is that farts cause global warming. Therefore you need to send them a check so they can magically remove your farts from the atmosphere. So what causes farts? Surprisingly, a number of ingredients in Ben & Jerry's ice cream. The following ingredients in my pint of Vermonty Python have all been shown to cause methane expulsion, and thereby contributing to global warming.

• lactose
• sugar
• wheat flour
• corn starch
• soy lecithin
• guar gum

One ingredient is known to cause serious effects, and there is an attempt to get it banned. That ingredient is carrageenan. I'd never heard of it before writing this, but it has caused colonic ulcerations and gastrointestinal neoplasms (possible cancer).

Most of us know that ice cream isn't good for you, and we shouldn't expect it to be. However, most of the ingredients in Ben & Jerry's ice cream are directly related to methane production. If Al Gore is right and methane is more dangerous to the environment than carbon ... Ben & Jerry's will have a significant "footprint" on the environmental impact caused by methane.

Perhaps Ben & Jerry's believe as I do that methane is not destroying the world, and they don't pay it much attention. That seems very unlikely, however, given their website. So why in the world would they peddle a product that causes an excessive amount of greenhouse gas emissions if they are so in tune with the environmental cause? It's like someone who supports a ban on guns owning a bullet manufacturer.

If they are successful in their mission to get those two emissions bills passed in Congress ... Congress may require Ben & Jerry's to remove many of their ingredients in order to meet the extreme emission goals set in those two bills that Ben & Jerry's has supported so vigorously. Again, I don't even know if Ben & Jerry's supports the methane argument, but if they do ... how do they sleep at night?

Global Cooling Kills Sea Otters

Is Greenpeace and Al Gore to blame?

An extra-cold winter on the Alaska Peninsula has frozen sea otters out of the bay and pushed them onto the tundra near Port Heiden where they're easy prey for wolves, humans and hunger.

We must protect the sea otters from ourselves and other predators. Please, drive your SUV an extra mile or two, leave you lights and TV on, use aerosols, and don't purchase carbon credits this month. We must get the global temperature back UP to normal if the sea otters are to survive. In our impulsive overzealousness we allowed the Earth to cool too much, and the sea otters are paying a heavy price.

John Travolta On Global Warming: We Need To Go To Other Planets

We're doomed!

Travolta wants humans to leave Earth and go to other planets eh? There is one HUGE problem with that. The other planets in our solar system are warming up as well. We can't escape global warming if the sun causes it.

Like I said ... we're doomed!

Oh yeah, Travolta owns 5 private jets (including a Boeing 707), has a carbon footprint 100x that of the average Briton, he's the "serving ambassador" for the Australian airline Qantas, his son's name is Jett, and he drove a Harley on the red carpet.

Al Gore Contributes To Global Warming By Smoking?

Apparently Al Gore lit up a cigar the other day at a restaurant. So what's the big deal? Nothing ... if you're not Al Gore. Gore gave a speech to the UN recently in which he said cigarette smoking is a “significant” contributor to global warming. I know what you're thinking ... and no ... you can not separate cigars and cigarettes. No doubt Gore has purchased carbon credits from himself as an offset to smoking this stogie.

PETA Attacks Al Gore

I'm going to stick up for Gore here because there is no greater hypocrite than PETA. PETA attacked Al Gore today because he eats meat (who knew).

Norfolk, Va. — This morning, PETA sent a letter to former vice president Al Gore explaining to him that the best way to fight global warming is to go vegetarian and offering to cook him faux “fried chicken” as an introduction to meat-free meals. In its letter, PETA points out that Gore’s film, An Inconvenient Truth—which starkly outlines the potentially catastrophic effects of global warming and just won the Academy Award for “Best Documentary”—has failed to address the fact that the meat industry is the largest contributor to greenhouse-gas emissions.

So the idiots are attacking the smarter idiots, and perpetuating the myth that flatulence is destroying the planet ... all at the same time.

Gore is a complete hypocrite who makes millions of dollars by not living up to his own sermons on living the green lifestyle, but PETA murders little kittens before they even have a chance at a good life. They do this claiming they are saving the kittens from being abused ... i.e. becoming pets.

Perhaps we've stumbled upon something here. Maybe PETA is really a clandestine Greenpeace outfit whose goal is to destroy all animals in order to prevent the animal's farts from destroying the earth.

More on methane destroying the planet, and how to save yourselves here, and here.

Gore's Ultimate Scam

Everyone has been laying out the facts about Al Gore's environmental hypocrisy for some time now ... most recently the $30,000 utility bills. While having a house NOT 20x the average American home ... he uses 20x the power the average household does. Top it off with the fact that he isn't utilizing the green energy sources available to him (at all 3 of his houses), and he's just now installing solar panels (after years of ownership) ... and we've got a story and a half.

Gore's defense: he buys carbon credits to offset his extensive power usage. This is a practice that is fraudulent to the core, and doesn't offset his methane production via burping and farting. I wrote about the Ultimate Scam a little while back. Which company does he pay for these credits: Generation Investment Management (GIM). Why is that important? Well a few reasons.

1. Al Gore is a founding partner in the company
2. The average person doesn't have access to its services
3. A former Gore staffer suspected of fraud runs the US branch
4. And it's an investment firm

Basically, Gore can purchase carbon credits from himself and only be investing in his company which will go out and invest in other companies making his company grow, and produce more profits.

Can you really not change your lifestyle, purchase carbon credits from yourself, and make millions doing it? I guess so. Well ... I'm off to meet with my financial advisor.
