Kids Fight Against AGW Indoctrination

Skeptic — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 16:36:40 +0000

(Via An Honest Climate Debate). Recall all the tales of indoctrination I’ve posted on this blog over the last several months? It looks like one bright 14 year-old girl is fighting back against the global warming nonsense with her new blog, Kids Against Anthropogenic Global Warming. It’s a relatively new site with little content at this point, but I have big expectations that this will be a success with her peers and students around the globe. Drop by, leave a comment and congratulate this kid on having the intellect to ...

Sea Ice Recovering Quickly, Overall Better than 2007

Skeptic — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:25:46 +0000

As always, Anthony Watts has provided excellent scientific details around climate change. In this post, Watts explores the recovering sea ice with a graph that shows how 2007 was worse than 2008 and that this year has the potential to be recovering much more quickly than in previous years. Check out my Arctic Ice Fact Check article from last month to see the scientific predictions on arctic ice loss and the painful reality - well, painful if you were the scientist making the predictions.

Global Warming Activists: We’re Not Getting Enough Attention

Skeptic — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:14:12 +0000

The global financial meltdown is the worst thing to happen to climate change since, well, the invention of the SUV if you listen to enough activists. Proponents of the global warming hoax are upset that the meltdown in the financial sectors around the world will upstage their climate change movement and take the focus away from what’s really important…to them. According to this Reuters article, a group known as the Global Environment Facility, that uses billions of government dollars to battle ecological problems, fears that funding my dry up due ...

Say What? Fix Climate to Fix Financial Crisis

Skeptic — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:31:08 +0000

Relatively new global warming hoax blogger Simon at Australian Climate Madness has some perspective on how America plans to deal with the financial crisis: tackling climate change. Yes, my friends, even the land down under knows America desires to throw billions of dollars into the ponzi scheme known as global warming by redirecting investments into clean and renewable energy.

Churches Enlisted to Help Fight Climate Change

Skeptic — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 11:58:06 +0000

This article is discussing churches in England, but I’m curious how this would work in America - you know, with the liberal mantra “separation of church and state” that, quite frankly, only applies to a government-mandated religious system. Churches across England are being asked to help fight climate change as one activist said, “Christ the Word of God comes into the world to give life and not death, and our appointed task is to preach this good news to all creation.” Pitiful. Just pitiful. Read More: www.churchtimes.co.uk/content.asp?id=64611 Tags: America, churches, climate change, England, ...

No Belt, No Shoes - A Disservice!

Skeptic — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 23:31:12 +0000

Watch where you step and keep tugging at your pants fellow skeptics. If the alarmists have their way, your leather belt and shoes will be a thing of the past. Cows are sources of methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide. And for you beer enthusiasts out there, a six pack will run you seven pounds of carbon. Will that be cash or charge?

Global Warming Hoax - Your Weekly Round-Up for 10/10/2008

Skeptic — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 20:31:11 +0000

Right on schedule, it’s the Global Warming Hoax Round-Up brought to you by The Daily Bayonet. In this edition, you’ll find lots of linkage from our self-described snarky friend, like Al Gore blaming Iowa floods on anthropogenic global warming. But I thought global warming had to be viewed over lots of time and not relegated to individual events, Mr. Ex-Veep? Michigan has been voted #1 in greening its economy. And it has nothing to do from the green provided by the feds for the bailout. Tom Nelson picks on a titanic supporter of ...

WWF Full of Environmental Charlatans

Skeptic — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:51:24 +0000

(Via Tom Nelson). Does the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) care about the environment or not? Earlier today I posted an article on the WWF complaining about a lack of agreement among nations on climate change to keep penguin populations from declining. And now I see they are offering a 25-day journey by private jet to places around the world. From the Amazon Rain Forest to Chile to Samoa, the 88-passenger private jet will touch down in places around the globe to get an up-close and personal look at wildlife. Am ...

Global Warming Myth Being Killed by Financial Crisis in EU

Skeptic — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:35:27 +0000

The global warming myth is in serious trouble over in the European Union as its leaders are planning to use the current financial crisis as an excuse to renege on its current climate change commitments. The EU council, which meets next week, is proposing a change to automatic emissions cuts from 20% to 30% if a greenhouse gas emissions plan is put in place. From the article: The current EU target of a 20% reduction in emissions by 2020 will automatically increase to 30% if a global deal is signed. But ...

Dion to Implement Carbon Tax Even in Recession

Skeptic — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:27:49 +0000

I’m glad I don’t live in Canada. I’m sure it’s a beautiful country, but its leaders are like Al Gore times 10. In an exchange between Stephane Dion and Richard Madan recently, Dion was asked if he would implement his carbon tax plan even in the face of a recession. His response was quite standoffish, refusing to call his plan a carbon tax but rather the Green Shift. Dion refused to delay his Green “carbon tax” Shift due to a recession because it would be good for the economy.

Environmental Standards to Cost Asthma Sufferers More

Skeptic — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:04:42 +0000

I’m just blown away by this report. In an effort to meet standards set by the Montreal Protocol, asthma inhalers will be increasing in price to help fight the destruction of the ozone by an ingredient in said inhalers. New inhalers will replace the old CFC-based ones and, because of that, prices will increase. The old devices will be banned in the United States as of December 31st.

Inhofe Defends Global Warming is a Hoax Claim

Skeptic — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 15:44:48 +0000

After his January 2005 claims that global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people, Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) again defended his claim during a debate Tuesday night when he declared the following: I think I was right on that, and I do believe — first off, let’s keep in mind, though, what the issue is. It’s not whether or not we’re going into a global warming period. We were. We’re not now. You know, God’s still up there. We’re now going through a cooling spell. And the whole ...

McCain Would Include Al Gore on Climate Change Issues

Skeptic — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 14:45:02 +0000

With many conservatives excited by Senator John McCain’s pick of Governor Sarah Palin for his Vice Presidential running mate for the GOP platform because she appears to be a Washington outsider with true conservative roots, many are in horror of McCain’s stance on global warming. Speaking with Reuters, John McCain remarked that he would tap ex-veep Al Gore on issues related to climate change, even though he disagrees with Gore on his nuclear energy stance. McCain said that he has great respect for Gore. Suddenly the slam-dunk vote for McCain because ...

“Even If” is a Long Way from “It Is”

Skeptic — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 13:30:26 +0000

Now that global warming alarmists are being called on their blatant lies over increases in planetary temperatures and melting ice caps, they’ve adopted a new slogan: “even if”. No matter if climate change has anything to do with carbon emissions or not, it’s still in our best interests to get ourselves off a fossil fuel that has limited supply. And I suppose “even if” it wrecks world economies in the process, that’s alright too, right?

Now Global Warming Causes Penguin Decline

Skeptic — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 12:52:22 +0000

Having the face of global warming be represented by soft and cuddly polar bears isn’t good enough. Penguins have been added to the list as endangered birds whose population - from one-half to three-quarters - face decline or extinction due to global warming if the global temperature jumps two degrees Celsius. The WWF bodyslammed a lack of agreement among nations to fight climate change and urged that a new deal be reached to succeed the Kyoto Protocol to help save the penguins. From the article: While the global average temperature rise ...

Give It Back! Gore’s Nobel May Be Illegal

Skeptic — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 18:02:20 +0000

As if the plummeting global temperatures weren’t enough of a problem for global warming ringleader Al Gore, it appears as though the Nobel Peace Prize he cherishes may have been given to him under illegal circumstances. From the article: In his 1895 last will and testament, Nobel, a Swedish industrialist and philanthropist who invented dynamite, decreed that part of his vast fortune be used to create the awards that now carry his name, including the Nobel Peace Prize. He asked that five members elected by the Norwegian parliament Norway and Sweden ...

What Does Barack Obama Think About Energy?

Skeptic — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:55:36 +0000

While all of the focus as of late has been on the meltdown in the financial sector, let’s not forget about the still staggering gas prices in America. For too long, Democrats have controlled our fuel supply by preventing the construction of new nuclear facilities, increasing oil exploration and limiting refining capacity. In this June 24th article from Reuters (UK), Democratic nominee Barack Obama’s stance on nuclear energy and offshore drilling is revealed. Hint: nuclear is no good because there’s no plan in place for waste ...

Dr. Roy Spencer’s Latest Public Appearance

Skeptic — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 12:58:05 +0000

Dr. Roy Spencer spoke in Houston on Tuesday to dismiss claims of anthropogenic global warming. He said during his speech that the IPCC models are clearly wrong. Results of ice core studies are in direct opposition to the theory espoused by Al Gore, who believes that carbon dioxide drives temperature. Spencer said temperatures precede carbon dioxide levels by 800 years.

10 Reasons to Blame Democrats for Soaring Energy Prices

Skeptic — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 12:52:48 +0000

My favorite, of course is number three: the global warming myth. Carbon trading schemes initiated in 2005 and implemented this year caused unexpected and significant spikes in fuel prices. Some of the other items I’ve touched on before. Lack of nuclear energy, push back on coal plants and lack of refineries. Good list.
