Update from Minnesotans for Global Warming: 'Two Below Honey'
By Noel Sheppard (Bio | Archive) Wed, 02/04/2009 - 10:43 ET
In honor of this year's harsh winter, our dear friends at Minnesotans for Global Warming have created a new song to address Nobel Laureate Al Gore's scam. Done to Van Morrison's hit "Tupelo Honey," they call it "Two Below Honey," and it's being premiered this morning at NewsBusters:
Thanks, guys. We hope you get some global warming soon.
There isn't much to do up here in Minnesota in the middle of the winter, so we made this movie. I thought of this song when we had a 3 day stretch where it didn't get above 0º.
As a Van Morrison fan for many years I love this video. It is well done, clever beyond words and hilarious. You guys did an extremely good job on capturing the asinine scam that Al Gore and others, including the MSM, that perpetrated onto the world. Wierd Al and Cletus have made a lot of money doing this kind of parody. Great job!
I catch myself singing "If I had some global warming" all the time. Catchy tune, and oh so true, even here in Georgia. It's only 18 here, right now. I know that's not too cold for some of ya'll, but we don't get that everyday.

Oh yeah! The funny thing was the next day after the repairman came and replaced the motor, either he did something wrong, or the motor was bad, but it caught on fire. It was like 4 a.m. and my hubby was out of town, and my son has a room on the 3rd floor of our house, so he got the smell and wisps of smoke first. It scared the poo out of me. I sent my son up to the attic with the fire extinguisher, but he couldn't find a flame The repair guy came out, and when he pulled the motor out, it was a mass of melted plastic and wires. Luckily it stayed in the motor. He went and got a new one, and things have been fine ever since. Thank goodness. Thanks for asking, I would be at the resort that is attached to my neighborhood, if there was no heat. My hubby doesn't want to pay for that, so he will make sure it stays warm. : )

Stay toasty, but not TOO toasty, if you catch my drift.
I don't turn my heat on here often, but when I do...it's gross! The dust on the coils burns or something...it's awful for about ten minutes....so I always leave the windows open until it goes away....must contribute to global warming, doncha know!
This morning on his show Glenn Beck is playing a tape from a speech to children where Al Bore is asking them to join his secret police on global warming.
I'd love to send you all some of my global warming from sunny South Florida, but we're fresh out. Here's the forecast for tonight:
The forecast is for clear and colder weather tonight. Low temperatures of 35 to 40 are expected with wind-chill readings of 27 to 32 after midnight. The winds will remain out of the northwest at 10 to 15 mph.
I do not miss Minnesota at all! The ex was from The Cities...oh how I hated going there during the winter. But to all of my Minnesota friends, I'm wishing you warm(ing).
As you know I'm about a mile from the Gulf Of Mexico. I normally don't see frost till after Thanksgiving. This year it was a week before Halloween. And snow after Thanksgiving. I think we're going to have a cold Mardi Gras.
Limited Disclosure: I used to belong to the Sierra Club untill they went crazier. Worse of all, I was bribed by Exxon with free New Orleans Saints glasses with fill ups in the 70's.
Apparently none of you realize that global warming contributes to colder winters in many parts of the world as well.? Just becasue it's called global warming, doesn't mean ever day, in every part of the world is going to be hotter than last years.
Although I probably could just say the 10 of the hottest years on record were in the last 20 years. but that probably wouldn't mean anything to any of you.
I have to admit, you guys are pretty funny and fortunately laughter warms the soul so I'm feeling pretty good in cold New York.
I just thought you might want to do a little research on something before you knock it. It really helps when trying to win an argument with someone without having to resort to "OMG-style" jokes. That's child's play.
USA: You'll have to be a bit more tolerant. You see, the regular attenders have gone over the argument so many times that it gets tedious. The true believers pretty much don't listen to the facts. But stick around. I'm sure someone will drop by to educate you. However, if you choose to believe that mankind is in control of the climate, you'll be disappointed in the answers.
I have to say I thought you guys would do a little better than that. Between the 4 of you I got ZERO reasons why you don't believe. except for that I should "check the archives." Yeah that's what I want to spend my day doing.
I also never said I think humans CONTROL the weather. The earth's ecosystem is a very delicate balance that ebbs and flows over times. naturally. At periods it has gotten warmer and other periods it has gotten colder. However, when you add an extra TRILLION PLUS tons a year of one ingredient (That should be there, but not in this magnitude) that is entire due to man, you upset the balance. Because the balance is upset, normal weather patterns are slowly changed and extremes set in. Over the past 20 years there has been record drought, floods, heat, tornados and hurricanes across the world due to these extremes.
So hopefully now you can all stop the repeatitive argument that it is too cold outside so global warming is BS
You're not concerned that the radical action being proscribed by Al Gore and his lap dogs will bring economic ruin to societies around the planet. For no valid reason. (Other than fattening his wallet.)
I’m guessing your “research” hasn’t revealed that probability. In fact, I’m guessing you have done very little, if any “research” regarding global warming. The way you jumped right in here and spouted the usual talking points indicates to me you’ve just sponged-up the nonsense with nary a thought to scientific method.
I believe you’ve already encountered some of the members here who are extremely well versed on the topic. If you’ve bothered to search the site (as in “research” the site) you’ll find that you may learn more here by accident, than elsewhere by design.
If you’re not swamped already, here are a few items that get right to the point.
when blogging away everyone makes spelling errors now & then. no biggie. but on ones profile it is best to make sure all the words you use are real words. if i was you i would double check the word "strickly"...i have a hunch you meant strictly.

I'm sorry you are so deluded on this subject. I will warn you that if PT finds you, he will link you to freakin' DEATH about this.
(you think I'm kidding, but if anybody can do it, it's PT.)
let me know when he's around. maybe instead of sending me links he should just tell me what he thinks. might save a few minutes because i could probably find about a MILLION links.
oh right, they are all from the liberal conspiracy media so they dont count.

"The
common enemy of humanity is man.
In searching for a new enemy to
unite us, we came up
with the idea that pollution, the threat of

it is only through
changed attitudes and behavior that they can be
overcome.
The real enemy then, is humanity itself."

"The
current course of development is thus clearly unsustainable.
Current

More of the same

more important is the implication that the evolution of

She has seen the reflection of her fair face through the
eyes of

Our
sensations of wonder and pleasure, our capacity
for conscious
thought and speculation, our restless curiosity and
drive are hers
to share. This new interrelationship of Gaia with man
is by no
means fully established; we are not yet a truly collective
species,
corralled and tamed as an integral part of the biosphere,
as we
are as individual creatures. It may be that the destiny of
mankind
is to become tamed, so that the fierce, destructive, and

creatures which
constitutes Gaia."

dbo A week or so ago, I think you linked to a record of tempertures through the last 4 or 5 interglacial periods. I can't seem to find my link to that or similar charts.
If it was you that linked to it. Do you still have it.
If so. Can you give it to me.
Limited Disclosure: I used to belong to the Sierra Club untill they went crazier. Worse of all, I was bribed by Exxon with free New Orleans Saints glasses with fill ups in the 70's.
Don't worry about it. I run into them every week or so. I just can't put my finger on one right now.
To be honest. Half the time I see one. It's used by a warmer. A warmer who hasn't a clue as to what it's saying.
I think Al Gore uses one. I'll look for his.

Pffft... One quote by just some guy (an ipcc lead author, yes THAT IPCC which we are supposed to take as gospel). Couldn't possibly mean anything.
"We've got to ride this global warming issue.
Even if the theory of global warming is wrong,
we will be doing the right thing in terms of
economic and environmental policy."
- Timothy Wirth, President of the UN Foundation
So even many of those promoting AGW don't really believe it Probably most of them by now. They think the ends justify the means. But this wouldn't concern you would it? You probably think the same way. We are seeing the worst case scenario of what happens when governments fund science and as a result the alarmists risk destroying the credibility of science for ideological goals.
I think it was Blone that used to sy. We need a better grade of troll.
Limited Disclosure: I used to belong to the Sierra Club untill they went crazier. Worse of all, I was bribed by Exxon with free New Orleans Saints glasses with fill ups in the 70's.
"oh right, they are all from the liberal conspiracy media so they dont count"
Exactly right. Liberal media links, conmspiratorial or otherwise do not count. In fact, media links in general do not count as they represent uninformed opinions, much like yours.
How many links can you find from peer-reviewed science?
I see a number of people here with a pretty good grasp of science.

Not sure if you guys have seen it but Gavin is just getting annihilated like I've never seen before over at CA. Once again the sleeze is oozing out of him and all the CA readers are playing dogpile at his expense. 237 comments and counting. Couldn't happen to a nicer crook.
He deleted yours and banned me after one post. If Gavin can't handle us. What's he going to do when the A team shows up.
Cheers.

So have I. He looked pretty bad. He even pointed out that Hansen's?GISS's warmest 2005 wasn't correct.
Right now he's looking pretty bad with the edit key. "He Who Shall Not Be Named" (Steve McIntyre) caught another whee error. So Gavin worked throught the Super Bowl to cover it up. (After sitting on the data for a year.) Then lectures Steve for not rushing to report the error to a closed office on Sunday evening> Instead of eating dinner or watching the Super Bowl.
It's amazing how many people stopped getting links from GISS. And started taking screen shots and hard copies before it changes.
Limited Disclosure: I used to belong to the Sierra Club untill they went crazier. Worse of all, I was bribed by Exxon with free New Orleans Saints glasses with fill ups in the 70's.
Those errors are very significant, contrary to what Gavin says about this. In fact, they are significant enough, if I read the discussion correctly, to call into question the results of this recently published paper.
This error and Schmidt's unprofessional handling of it, has even caused McIntyre and others to begin questioning the Anarctic surface temp measuring station's accuracy based on their snow cover. There has always been a question about why the land station results in the Antarctic have varied from the satellite measurements by as much as they do.
Believe me, the alarmists are the ones who lag in research. Nothing like an unfalsifiable theory to promote an agenda. I've been following this AGW theory for well over a decade. I know enough about it that I would never make a prediction based on it because such predictions fail repeatedly. Yet that doesn't seem to give the faithful any pause.
"More informed respondents both feel less personally responsible for global warming, and also show less concern for global warming" - 2008 Texas A&M University Study
Silly me. Apparently according to your theory, anything proves Global Warming (GW). Too cold, GW. Too Hot, GW. No change, GW. Too many cows, GW. Too many people, GW. Too many cars, GW. Ohh, wait!! I forgot, GW conspirists now call any change "Climate Change" just in order to cover their butts. Just in case, oh, you know, the next Ice Age comes!!!! Oh no!
You know, too many cows might really be a problem. I'll look in to it. So let me get this straight so I don't seem like a crazy liberal fool... Over 90% of the scientific community believes in global warming (including many conservative republicans), but you don't want to actually familarize yourself with the science and because Al Gore has devoted over 30 years of his life to research about this, it's obviously a conspiracy?
man you guys are too much. So scared of the big bad liberal conspiracies. Better lock your doors, load your guns, and say your prayers...
BTW - I'm a proud member of the NRA and a christian so don't use those as excuses (plus I have a lock on my door)
Actually I was an old liberal. Till the AGW BS. I know a bit about the subject. And it made no sense. So I started looking deeper and also at other lib arenas as DDT.
Now I'm a conservative.
And I'm an athiest. I'll question the existence of god. What chance does the religion of AGW have?
Limited Disclosure: I used to belong to the Sierra Club untill they went crazier. Worse of all, I was bribed by Exxon with free New Orleans Saints glasses with fill ups in the 70's.
You freezing your global warming off up at that end of the Gulf?
I'm seriously considering bringing my orchids in tonight (sheesh!)....I blasted a really nice one last week because I didn't bring it in. It's alot of work...where's Obama's hot-house when you need it, eh?
you guys are getting real close to finally giving me one reason to back up your claims of a conspiracy. maybe the boogie man invented it cause kids stop being scared of him.
so then what is the point of this blog? For you guys to all repeat the same comments over and over to each other with out hearing anyone else? sounds a litle close-minded to me.
The purpose of the NewsBusters blog, n00b, is exposing liberal media bias.
Now follow carefully, I'll try to type slowly.
The mainstream media promotes AGW AS A FACT. When it is nothing of the kind. AGW is a theory. Al Gore and the rest of you warmers, or alarmists, or whatever you want to call yourselves this week, can scream "Consensus!" all you want, but that doesn't make AGW a fact.
Ergo sum, AGW presented as a fact is media bias.
Here's where you need to educate yourself. Read the archives here. Pay particular attention to danbo, NL207, and hydrodynDM for scientific methods (hydro's a physicist, I'll let dan & NL give you their own credentials).
Before you start slinging around dead polar bears and melting ice caps, read the archives here. There are a zillion of them, which have all sorts of fascinating links to real studies and data which will make you question your belief in AGW.
Pay attention. Noel's post on this blog was taking a shot at the silliness of the whole AGW thing. To hear you warmers, everything and anything causes Global Warming....too many kids, cow farts, gourmet cooking, breathing....who knows what the next stupid claim is going to be, hmmm?
Here's the last point. The warmers and alarmists have figured out that the whole "Global Warming" thing sounds really stupid, so they've attempted to rename it "Climate Change". Oh....the climate changes...wow! Who knew?
Well of course it's a theory? How in the hell could you definitely PROVE all the complicated aspects of GW. The problem is that any time there is a cold day here, or one year where the tempeatures are stable, people cry that it's evidence of global warming being false. The whole point of the theory is that the climate is a very delicate system and if you disrupt it enough, you can create an unbalance.
Meterologists can't even predict what the weather will be like next week so there is no way this theory will ever be proved a fact cause no one can predict the weather in advance. saying that GW is not a fact is easy because of that.
oh and of course because they changed the name of it must mean that its a fraud. that has to be the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard. As we are becoming more familar with what may be the result of GW, it's name has changed. here's why:
The "warming" label was due to more CO2 in the atmosphere trapping more heat from the sun from escaping.....leading to warming.
"climate change" is a result of this warming. make sense now?
in closing, im not saying that GW is a 100% fact because the earth is too complicated a system. but to say that the evidence is lacking is just nuts.
THOUSANDS of scientists believe it, so im not too concerned about just one man (hydrodynDM).
"The problem is that any time there is a cold day here, or one year where the tempeatures are stable, people cry that it's evidence of global warming being false."
"The "warming" label was due to more CO2 in the atmosphere trapping more heat from the sun from escaping.....leading to warming."
Someone call the paramedics. I'm on the floor dying of laughter, here.
just because there is more heat being trapped inside the atmosphere doesn't mean that every single day the temperature is going to increase. There are hundreds of other factors.
however, over time, you will see the climate change as the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere increases.
it's not an overnight event.
still waiting for your rebuttal. im sure i wont get it except for an email quoting me and then stating what yorue doing curently.

I just checked NCDC Climate at a glance. The closest I could get to you was Key West. I'm not sure if it relates to you.
From 1895-2008. I looked at the winter average temps for KW. There are extreme periods. From 1950 to about 59 their mean temp dropped about 11F. That's the mean not the minimum.
Looks like the last few years KW have been warm. If it shifts...

Well since the link you sent me is called "US climate at a glance", i'm not sure the really covers the entire globe. Still 6 and half more continents out there
Do you know the difference between a link I sent to Blonde for her orchids and global data?
As I said you ignore everything that is inconvenient?

I'm not going to keep posting it if you don't know what you're looking at. Here. You have it. There has been no warming for the last ten years.
If you don't like mine. Upcountry added the CO2 graph.
You're the one that keeps avoiding facts. Afraid of them?
Limited Disclosure: I used to belong to the Sierra Club untill they went crazier. Worse of all, I was bribed by Exxon with free New Orleans Saints glasses with fill ups in the 70's.
We will instead entertain your worthless opinion - not. This is science not opinion, unless of course you are talking about what Al Gore preaches - that is definitely propaganda.
"Al Gore has devoted over 30 years of his life to research about this"
Which 30 years? How did he ever find time for this between his careers as Congressman, Senator and Vice President? Certainly not the 9 years since 2000, and certainly not in the 5 years prior to his election to Congress at age 28.
How many years of no warming will you need to understand your theory is built on a bed of quick sand?
Please ignore the MWP, RWP, all the other interglacials and any other unconvenient period. Ignore all the archaeological finds from under never before retreating glaciers, tree trunks above timberline, and N of the tree line, and any and all other inconvient facts.
We have a theory and theory is more important than data and facts.
But then that's meaningless to you.
Limited Disclosure: I used to belong to the Sierra Club untill they went crazier. Worse of all, I was bribed by Exxon with free New Orleans Saints glasses with fill ups in the 70's.
By no warming. I mean no warming. Take your pick. Spare me the hype.
And like a true believer you also ignored the other inconvenient facts.

I agree the world records are unreliable. And have been adjust to the point they're meaningless. The US records are the best and still quite unreliable. Especially in GISS' hands.
Limited Disclosure: I used to belong to the Sierra Club untill they went crazier. Worse of all, I was bribed by Exxon with free New Orleans Saints glasses with fill ups in the 70's.
The adjustments in that chart pretty much account for most of the warming in the later part of the 20th century.
I think it was a bit warmer. But with those kinds of adjustments. Who can tell?

Now that's funny, I don't care who y'are. But you got me good for meaning what I meant to say but not saying what I meant to mean.
I was referring specifically the Mayans' their lack of knowledge in the science of crop rotation. Theory is that the corn just wouldn't grow around their city anymore.
I'm aware there were at least a couple of years between the two disasters.
In the central plains we are getting a little bit of global warming for the end of the week. Into the 50s and 60s. But then nasty global cooling comes back this weekend.
Re blind faith AGW alarmists, there's one in Obammy's cabinet! Stephen Chu is a real nutcase on this. From LAT today: "California's farms and vineyards could vanish by the end of this century, and its major cities could be in jeopardy, if Americans do not
act to slow the advance of global warming, Secretary of Energy Steven
Chu said Tuesday." (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-warming4-2009feb04,0,7454963.sto...)
The OBVIOUS omission from his rant is how America alone can fix the problem. If we adopt the Warmists' policies (and theories), who thinks Red China and India will blindly follow us off that cliff? Lost industry from the USA will simply set up somewhere else.
Just another example of why Nobel Prizes, like Pulitzers, have lost much of their meaning because they are awarded by liberal whackos.
slick: In re to: "The OBVIOUS omission from his rant is how America alone can fix the problem"
Typical lib thinking. America is to blame for all the world's problems. We are too arrogant. BUT, we alone can solve all the world's problems. However, this isn't arrogance. ???????
chunnel: Double click on which video? I double-clicked on both the video above and the one on the MFGW website. I did what you said, and it's working fine. ?????
My speed is fine, I download regularly at 2GB/s. However, the problem appears to be with my cookies. I deleted them and now it works. Sorry for the wrong info.
Believe me, the alarmists are the ones who lag in research. Nothing like an unfalsifiable theory to promote an agenda. I've been following this AGW theory for well over a decade. I know enough about it that I would never make a prediction based on it because such predictions fail repeatedly. Yet that doesn't seem to give the faithful any pause.
Arg, this was meant to be a reply to an above comment. I keep getting bit by the log in. Oh well.
Mr. Gore’s tactics have been a little more subtle, and reminiscent of propaganda methods which have proved to be effective throughout history at influencing public opinion. One should keep in mind that his main scientific adviser, NASA’s James Hansen, has the most extreme views of any climate researcher when it comes to predicting a global warming induced Armageddon.
About Dr. Roy Spencer
Roy W. Spencer received his Ph.D. in meteorology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1981. Before becoming a Principal Research Scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2001, he was a Senior Scientist for Climate Studies at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, where he and Dr. John Christy received NASA’s Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal for their global temperature monitoring work with satellites. Dr. Spencer’s work with NASA continues as the U.S. Science Team leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA’s Aqua satellite. He has provided congressional testimony several times on the subject of global warming.
Dr. Spencer’s research has been entirely supported by U.S. government agencies: NASA, NOAA, and DOE. He has never been asked by any oil company to perform any kind of service. Not even Exxon-Mobil.
Dr. Spencer’s first popular book on global warming, Climate Confusion (Encounter Books), is now available at Amazon.com and BarnesAndNoble.com.
Al Gore Science lab, a wholly owned subsidiary of Al Gore Industries has made a startling discovery.
They have determined that human flatulence averages 1 to 3 pints a day. Al Gore immediately discerned that this flatulence is a major contributor to Global Warming and set his science lab to work.
The Al Gore Science Lab has responded with a New Clothing line named 'Hot Pants'.
The rear of the pants contains 'Smart' technology along with an electronic pilot light, when the 'Smart' device detects flatulence, it immediately fires the pilot light, thus burning off the gas (do NOT wear while pumping gasoline).
The clothing line has 'Hot Pants' for both females and males.
WARNING 'Spooning' with a female may be dangerous to male testicles, if both are wearing Hot Pants.
Barack Obama praised the Liberal Genius Al Gore and stated he may mandate all citizens to wear the clothing line.
Obama stated there is nothing like watching people walking at night in Hot Pants - it reminds him of watching fireflies when he was a child.

Wed, 02/04/2009 - 12:02 ET by thebutlerdiditOh yeah! The funny thing was the next day after the repairman came and replaced the motor, either he did something wrong, or the motor was bad, but it caught on fire. It was like 4 a.m. and my hubby was out of town, and my son has a room on the 3rd floor of our house, so he got the smell and wisps of smoke first. It scared the poo out of me. I sent my son up to the attic with the fire extinguisher, but he couldn't find a flame The repair guy came out, and when he pulled the motor out, it was a mass of melted plastic and wires. Luckily it stayed in the motor. He went and got a new one, and things have been fine ever since. Thank goodness. Thanks for asking, I would be at the resort that is attached to my neighborhood, if there was no heat. My hubby doesn't want to pay for that, so he will make sure it stays warm. : )

Wed, 02/04/2009 - 13:54 ET by USAnumber1Apparently none of you realize that global warming contributes to colder winters in many parts of the world as well.? Just becasue it's called global warming, doesn't mean ever day, in every part of the world is going to be hotter than last years.
Although I probably could just say the 10 of the hottest years on record were in the last 20 years. but that probably wouldn't mean anything to any of you.

Wed, 02/04/2009 - 14:55 ET by QueenMumUSA: You'll have to be a bit more tolerant. You see, the regular attenders have gone over the argument so many times that it gets tedious. The true believers pretty much don't listen to the facts. But stick around. I'm sure someone will drop by to educate you. However, if you choose to believe that mankind is in control of the climate, you'll be disappointed in the answers.
not surprised
Wed, 02/04/2009 - 15:11 ET by USAnumber1I have to say I thought you guys would do a little better than that. Between the 4 of you I got ZERO reasons why you don't believe. except for that I should "check the archives." Yeah that's what I want to spend my day doing.
I also never said I think humans CONTROL the weather. The earth's ecosystem is a very delicate balance that ebbs and flows over times. naturally. At periods it has gotten warmer and other periods it has gotten colder. However, when you add an extra TRILLION PLUS tons a year of one ingredient (That should be there, but not in this magnitude) that is entire due to man, you upset the balance. Because the balance is upset, normal weather patterns are slowly changed and extremes set in. Over the past 20 years there has been record drought, floods, heat, tornados and hurricanes across the world due to these extremes.
So hopefully now you can all stop the repeatitive argument that it is too cold outside so global warming is BS

You're not concerned that the radical action being proscribed by Al Gore and his lap dogs will bring economic ruin to societies around the planet. For no valid reason. (Other than fattening his wallet.)
I’m guessing your “research” hasn’t revealed that probability. In fact, I’m guessing you have done very little, if any “research” regarding global warming. The way you jumped right in here and spouted the usual talking points indicates to me you’ve just sponged-up the nonsense with nary a thought to scientific method.
I believe you’ve already encountered some of the members here who are extremely well versed on the topic. If you’ve bothered to search the site (as in “research” the site) you’ll find that you may learn more here by accident, than elsewhere by design.

"Humanity
is sitting on a time bomb. If the vast majority of the
world's
scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a
major
catastrophe that could send our entire planet's climate system
into
a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather,
floods,
droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything
we have
ever experienced - a catastrophe of our own making."

"In
Nature organic growth proceeds according
to a Master Plan, a
Blueprint. Such a ‘master plan’ is
missing from the
process of growth and development of
the world system. Now is the
time to draw up a master plan for
sustainable growth and world
development based on global
allocation of all resources and a new
global economic system.
Ten or twenty years form today it will
probably be too late."
- Club of Rome,
Mankind

Point
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We
need a new paradigm of development in
which the environment will
be a priority.
World civilization as we know it will soon end.
We have very little time and we must act.
If we can address
the environmental problem,
it will have to be done within a new
system, a
new paradigm. We have to change our mindset,
the
way humankind views the world."
- Mikhail
Gorbachev,
State of the World

"The
concept of national sovereignty has been immutable,
indeed a
sacred principle of international relations.
It is a principle
which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to

UN Commission on Global Governance
report
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Democracy
is not a panacea. It cannot organize everything and
it is unaware
of its own limits. These facts must be faced squarely.
Sacrilegious
though this may sound, democracy is no longer well
suited for the
tasks ahead. The complexity and the technical nature
of many of
today’s problems do not always allow elected
representatives
to make competent decisions at the right time."
-
Club of Rome,
The First Global
Revolution
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The
emerging 'environmentalization' of our civilization
and the need
for vigorous action in the interest of the entire global
community
will inevitably have multiple political consequences.
Perhaps the
most important of them will be a gradual change
in the status of
the United Nations. Inevitably, it must
assume some aspects of a
world government."
- Mikhail Gorbachev,
State
of the World

"I
envisage the prinicles of the Earth Charter to
be a new form of
the ten commandments.
They lay the foundation for a
sustainable
global earth community."
- Mikhail
Gorbachev,
co-author of The Earth
Charter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"In
my view, after fifty years of service in the United Nations system,
I
perceive the utmost urgency and absolute necessity for proper
Earth
government. There is no shadow of a doubt that the present
political
and economic systems are no longer appropriate
and will lead to
the end of life evolution on this planet.
We must therefore
absolutely and urgently look for new ways."
- Dr
Robert Muller,
UN Assistant Secretary
General,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Nations
are in effect ceding portions of their sovereignty
to the
international community and beginning to create a
new system of
international environmental governance
as a means of solving

must precede globalism.
We foresee a seamless system of governance

"A
keen and anxious awareness is evolving to suggest that
fundamental
changes will have to take place in the world order
and its power
structures, in the distribution of wealth and income.

can permit mankind to negotiate
this transition."

"The
alternative to the existing world order can only
emerge as a
result of a new human dimension of progress.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We
require a central organizing principle - one agreed to
voluntarily.
Minor shifts in policy, moderate improvement in laws
and regulations,
rhetoric offered in lieu of genuine change -
these are all forms of
appeasement, designed to satisfy the
public’s desire to believe that
sacrifice, struggle and a
wrenching transformation
of society will not be necessary."
-
Al Gore,
Earth in the

"Adopting
a central organizing principle...
means embarking on an all-out
effort to use every
policy and program, every law and
institution...
to halt the destruction of the environment."

Al Gore,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Effective
execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound
reorientation of
all human society, unlike anything the world
has ever experienced
a major shift in the priorities of both
governments and
individuals and an unprecedented
redeployment of human and
financial resources. This shift
will demand that a concern for the
environmental consequences
of every human action be integrated
into individual and
collective decision-making at every level."
- UN Agenda
21
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The
current course of development is thus clearly unsustainable.
Current
problems cannot be solved by piecemeal measures.
More of the same
is not enough. Radical change from the
current trajectory is not
an option, but an absolute necessity.
Fundamental economic, social
and cultural changes that
address the root causes of poverty and
environmental
degradation are required and they are required
now."

in spite of millennia

by
a hubristic and misguided humanity.
The Earth is a living

dimensions.
With the expansion of the patriarchal religions
that
focused on a male God majestically
stationed in Heaven ruling
over the Earth and the
Universe, the memory of our planet's
innate Divinity
was repressed and banished into the
collective
unconscious of humanity."

"Still
more important is the implication that the evolution of
homo
sapiens, with his technological inventiveness and his
increasingly
subtle communications network, has vastly increased
Gaia's range
of perception. She is now through us awake and aware
of herself.
She has seen the reflection of her fair face through the
eyes of
astronauts and the television cameras of orbiting spacecraft.
Our
sensations of wonder and pleasure, our capacity
for conscious
thought and speculation, our restless curiosity and
drive are hers
to share. This new interrelationship of Gaia with man
is by no
means fully established; we are not yet a truly collective
species,
corralled and tamed as an integral part of the biosphere,
as we
are as individual creatures. It may be that the destiny of
mankind
is to become tamed, so that the fierce, destructive, and
greedy
forces of tribalism and nationalism are fused into a
compulsive
urge to belong to the commonwealth of all
creatures which
constitutes Gaia."

"Little
by little a planetary prayer book is
thus being composed by an
increasingly united
humanity seeking its oneness. Once
again,
but this time on a universal scale, humankind is
seeking
no less than its reunion with 'divine,'
its transcendence into
higher forms of life. Hindus
call our earth Brahma, or God, for
they rightly
see no difference between our earth and the
divine.
This ancient simple truth is slowly dawning again

Even if the theory of global warming is wrong,
we will be doing the right thing in terms of

So even many of those promoting AGW don't really believe it Probably most of them by now. They think the ends justify the means. But this wouldn't concern you would it?

Exactly right. Liberal media links, conmspiratorial or otherwise do not count. In fact, media links in general do not count as they represent uninformed opinions, much like yours.

It's amazing how many people stopped getting links from GISS. And started taking screen shots and hard copies before it changes.

This error and Schmidt's unprofessional handling of it, has even caused McIntyre and others to begin questioning the Anarctic surface temp measuring station's accuracy based on their snow cover. There has always been a question about why the land station results in the Antarctic have varied from the satellite measurements by as much as they do.

Wed, 02/04/2009 - 15:03 ET by ApacheBelieve me, the alarmists are the ones who lag in research. Nothing like an unfalsifiable theory to promote an agenda. I've been following this AGW theory for well over a decade. I know enough about it that I would never make a prediction based on it because such predictions fail repeatedly. Yet that doesn't seem to give the faithful any pause.

Silly me. Apparently
Wed, 02/04/2009 - 14:17 ET by chunnelSilly me. Apparently according to your theory, anything proves Global Warming (GW). Too cold, GW. Too Hot, GW. No change, GW. Too many cows, GW. Too many people, GW. Too many cars, GW. Ohh, wait!! I forgot, GW conspirists now call any change "Climate Change" just in order to cover their butts. Just in case, oh, you know, the next Ice Age comes!!!! Oh no!
Didn't think of that one..
Wed, 02/04/2009 - 14:39 ET by USAnumber1You know, too many cows might really be a problem. I'll look in to it. So let me get this straight so I don't seem like a crazy liberal fool... Over 90% of the scientific community believes in global warming (including many conservative republicans), but you don't want to actually familarize yourself with the science and because Al Gore has devoted over 30 years of his life to research about this, it's obviously a conspiracy?
man you guys are too much. So scared of the big bad liberal conspiracies. Better lock your doors, load your guns, and say your prayers...
BTW - I'm a proud member of the NRA and a christian so don't use those as excuses (plus I have a lock on my door)
Nah. We just know BS when
Wed, 02/04/2009 - 14:53 ET by danboNah. We just know BS when we see it.
Actually I was an old liberal. Till the AGW BS. I know a bit about the subject. And it made no sense. So I started looking deeper and also at other lib arenas as DDT.
Now I'm a conservative.
And I'm an athiest. I'll question the existence of god. What chance does the religion of AGW have?
Limited Disclosure: I used to belong to the Sierra Club untill they went crazier. Worse of all, I was bribed by Exxon with free New Orleans Saints glasses with fill ups in the 70's.
Hey dan
Wed, 02/04/2009 - 14:56 ET by BlondeYou freezing your global warming off up at that end of the Gulf?
I'm seriously considering bringing my orchids in tonight (sheesh!)....I blasted a really nice one last week because I didn't bring it in. It's alot of work...where's Obama's hot-house when you need it, eh?
getting warmer.....
Wed, 02/04/2009 - 15:15 ET by USAnumber1haha...get it.?
you guys are getting real close to finally giving me one reason to back up your claims of a conspiracy. maybe the boogie man invented it cause kids stop being scared of him.
If gave a few above if you care to read them.
Oh Good Lord
Wed, 02/04/2009 - 15:20 ET by BlondeSpare me your adoration, okay?
We've seen it (and discussed it) a thousand times here, already.
Huh?
Wed, 02/04/2009 - 15:26 ET by USAnumber1so then what is the point of this blog? For you guys to all repeat the same comments over and over to each other with out hearing anyone else? sounds a litle close-minded to me.
The point of this blog, n00b
Wed, 02/04/2009 - 15:30 ET by BlondeIs "Exposing Liberal Media Bias".
Need me to translate that for you?
???
Wed, 02/04/2009 - 15:41 ET by USAnumber1But you haven't exposed anything. No one has exposed anything here except say that it's cold where they are.
I'm giving you good ammunition to expose (read above), but no one is doing it. So yes, I would like a better translation.
Translation for the n00b
Wed, 02/04/2009 - 15:59 ET by BlondeThe purpose of the NewsBusters blog, n00b, is exposing liberal media bias.
Now follow carefully, I'll try to type slowly.
The mainstream media promotes AGW AS A FACT. When it is nothing of the kind. AGW is a theory. Al Gore and the rest of you warmers, or alarmists, or whatever you want to call yourselves this week, can scream "Consensus!" all you want, but that doesn't make AGW a fact.
Ergo sum, AGW presented as a fact is media bias.
Here's where you need to educate yourself. Read the archives here. Pay particular attention to danbo, NL207, and hydrodynDM for scientific methods (hydro's a physicist, I'll let dan & NL give you their own credentials).
Before you start slinging around dead polar bears and melting ice caps, read the archives here. There are a zillion of them, which have all sorts of fascinating links to real studies and data which will make you question your belief in AGW.
Pay attention. Noel's post on this blog was taking a shot at the silliness of the whole AGW thing. To hear you warmers, everything and anything causes Global Warming....too many kids, cow farts, gourmet cooking, breathing....who knows what the next stupid claim is going to be, hmmm?
Here's the last point. The warmers and alarmists have figured out that the whole "Global Warming" thing sounds really stupid, so they've attempted to rename it "Climate Change". Oh....the climate changes...wow! Who knew?
got it
Wed, 02/04/2009 - 16:14 ET by USAnumber1Well of course it's a theory? How in the hell could you definitely PROVE all the complicated aspects of GW. The problem is that any time there is a cold day here, or one year where the tempeatures are stable, people cry that it's evidence of global warming being false. The whole point of the theory is that the climate is a very delicate system and if you disrupt it enough, you can create an unbalance.
Meterologists can't even predict what the weather will be like next week so there is no way this theory will ever be proved a fact cause no one can predict the weather in advance. saying that GW is not a fact is easy because of that.
oh and of course because they changed the name of it must mean that its a fraud. that has to be the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard. As we are becoming more familar with what may be the result of GW, it's name has changed. here's why:
The "warming" label was due to more CO2 in the atmosphere trapping more heat from the sun from escaping.....leading to warming.
"climate change" is a result of this warming. make sense now?
in closing, im not saying that GW is a 100% fact because the earth is too complicated a system. but to say that the evidence is lacking is just nuts.
THOUSANDS of scientists believe it, so im not too concerned about just one man (hydrodynDM).
A#1, Try this, good stuff

Oh the irony!
Wed, 02/04/2009 - 16:45 ET by BlondeYou do understand irony, don't you?
"The problem is that any time there is a cold day here, or one year where the tempeatures are stable, people cry that it's evidence of global warming being false."
"The "warming" label was due to more CO2 in the atmosphere trapping more heat from the sun from escaping.....leading to warming."
Someone call the paramedics. I'm on the floor dying of laughter, here.
guess we'll have to try again
Wed, 02/04/2009 - 17:04 ET by USAnumber1just because there is more heat being trapped inside the atmosphere doesn't mean that every single day the temperature is going to increase. There are hundreds of other factors.
however, over time, you will see the climate change as the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere increases.
it's not an overnight event.
still waiting for your rebuttal. im sure i wont get it except for an email quoting me and then stating what yorue doing curently.
Here you go
Wed, 02/04/2009 - 17:24 ET by BlondeHow does that correlation thingy work for you with CO2 and temperature increase?

Wed, 02/04/2009 - 16:25 ET by dmsmsaRead the whole article.
http://www.drroyspencer.com/2009/01/al-gores-propaganda/
Mr. Gore’s tactics have been a little more subtle, and reminiscent of propaganda methods which have proved to be effective throughout history at influencing public opinion. One should keep in mind that his main scientific adviser, NASA’s James Hansen, has the most extreme views of any climate researcher when it comes to predicting a global warming induced Armageddon.
About Dr. Roy Spencer
Roy W. Spencer received his Ph.D. in meteorology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1981. Before becoming a Principal Research Scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2001, he was a Senior Scientist for Climate Studies at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, where he and Dr. John Christy received NASA’s Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal for their global temperature monitoring work with satellites. Dr. Spencer’s work with NASA continues as the U.S. Science Team leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA’s Aqua satellite. He has provided congressional testimony several times on the subject of global warming.
Dr. Spencer’s research has been entirely supported by U.S. government agencies: NASA, NOAA, and DOE. He has never been asked by any oil company to perform any kind of service. Not even Exxon-Mobil.
Dr. Spencer’s first popular book on global warming, Climate Confusion (Encounter Books), is now available at Amazon.com and BarnesAndNoble.com.

Buy your Al Gore 'Hot Pants' before they are gone
Wed, 02/04/2009 - 22:22 ET by Retired GeekAl Gore Science lab, a wholly owned subsidiary of Al Gore Industries has made a startling discovery.
They have determined that human flatulence averages 1 to 3 pints a day. Al Gore immediately discerned that this flatulence is a major contributor to Global Warming and set his science lab to work.
The Al Gore Science Lab has responded with a New Clothing line named 'Hot Pants'.
The rear of the pants contains 'Smart' technology along with an electronic pilot light, when the 'Smart' device detects flatulence, it immediately fires the pilot light, thus burning off the gas (do NOT wear while pumping gasoline).
The clothing line has 'Hot Pants' for both females and males.
WARNING 'Spooning' with a female may be dangerous to male testicles, if both are wearing Hot Pants.
Barack Obama praised the Liberal Genius Al Gore and stated he may mandate all citizens to wear the clothing line.
Obama stated there is nothing like watching people walking at night in Hot Pants - it reminds him of watching fireflies when he was a child.
