The analysis challenges assumptions that the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere


Global Warming caused by CO2 only occurs in flawed computer models, models tainted by political agendas.
Supposedly we are seeing record CO2, but not record heat.
So we change the name to Climate Change. The climate has always been changing, since day one.

It's getting to the point that for those few scientists denying climate change to station themselves on some Arctic ice flows with their treasure chests of Koch Brothers and Exxon-Mobil cash to prove everyone else wrong so a year or so from now the rest of the world can retrieve those treasure chests and put that money toward solving climate-change for all of our children and grandchildren.

Reminds me of the end of "A Tale of Two Cities" as Charles Dickens' character, the jackal Sydney Carton goes to his death with these unspoken thoughts:

I see Barsad, ... Defarge, The Vengeance, ... long ranks of the new oppressors who have risen on the destruction of the old, perishing by this retributive instrument, before it shall cease out of its present use. I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss, and, in their struggles to be truly free, in their triumphs and defeats, through long years to come, I see the evil of this time and of the previous time of which this is the natural birth, gradually making expiation for itself and wearing out.
I see the lives for which I lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy, in that England which I shall see no more. I see Her with a child upon her bosom, who bears my name. I see her father, aged and bent, but otherwise restored, and faithful to all men in his healing office, and at peace. I see the good old man [Mr. Lorry], so long their friend, in ten years' time enriching them with all he has, and passing tranquilly to his reward.
I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence. I see her, an old woman, weeping for me on the anniversary of this day. I see her and her husband, their course done, lying side by side in their last earthly bed, and I know that each was not more honoured and held sacred in the other's soul, than I was in the souls of both.
I see that child who lay upon her bosom and who bore my name, a man winning his way up in that path of life which once was mine. I see him winning it so well, that my name is made illustrious there by the light of his. I see the blots I threw upon it, faded away. I see him, fore-most of just judges and honoured men, bringing a boy of my name, with a forehead that I know and golden hair, to this place—then fair to look upon, with not a trace of this day's disfigurement—and I hear him tell the child my story, with a tender and a faltering voice.
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.


So it would be for those scientists on the ice flows, honorable ends to lifetimes of being jackals.

The Climate March - Idiocracy & Communism on Parade

Idiocracy is best described by Wikipedia: a futuristic "dystopian society wherein advertising, commercialism, and cultural anti-intellectualism have run rampant and dysgenic pressure has resulted in a uniformly unthinking society devoid of intellectual curiosity, social responsibility , and coherent notions of justice and human rights."

Author Truman Capote has been quoted saying, "The better the actor the more stupid he is."


The People’s Climate March was dominated by crazies and political leftists. The mainstream media mostly avoided coverage of the event. Maybe they realized how embarrassing the march would be for the more rational elements of the environmental movement.

The march was an excuse for those who are perpetually angry that the top 50% have so much more than the bottom 50%. Arguably, the environmental movement has been hijacked by anti-capitalists who think everyone can live in peace, harmony, and prosperity without anyone having to work hard.

As the Soviets found out, very few people want to “work hard”…unless they are rewarded. Here comes capitalism! You are rewarded in proportion to how much you provide to others. And the age of abundance requires access to affordable, abundant energy.

Defenders of the status quo are always stronger than reformers seeking change, 
UNTIL the status quo self-destructs from its own corruption, and the reformers are free to build on its ashes.

The Climate March - Idiocracy & Communism on Parade

THE CLIMATE HAS ALWAYS BEEN CHANGING

WE CAN'T SAVE THE PLANET

WHY ARE WE BEING FORCED TO FOLLOW ALL THE EPA MANDATES, WHEN CHINA AND INDIA ARE THE BIGGEST POLLUTERS?

CARBON CREDITS IS A GIGANTIC SCAM DREAMED UP BY A CON MAN WHO ALMOST BECAME PRESIDENT

Obama’s CO2 Games Are A Joke

The US generates 13% of global CO2, China 22%. If we reduced 20%, that's a whopping 2.6%.

Meanwhile, Obama agreed to let China increase their emissions for the next 16 years. At China’s current growth rates, there will be a huge increase in global CO2 emissions, which will overwhelm any US reductions.

The reason that China agreed to it, is because it puts American industry at a competitive disadvantage due to increased fuel costs. It was a win-win for China. They do nothing, while Obama shoots the US in the foot.
