I stumbled on this headline this morning. First one I read as far as blogs go. Funny.

Northern PA Covered in Global Warming

Earliest snowfall on record.”

Some of that heavy, wet stuff that’s downing power lines.

Congratulations all you northern AoS moron-types, winter is here!

Climate hype and the truth.

Stanford U. doesn’t want you to see this video
By Michelle Malkin

Via Marc Morano at Climate Depot comes word that Stanford University is trying to cover for one of its leading eco-extremists:

Stanford University has banned a skeptical documentary film from airing a climate change interview with one of its prominent warming activist professors, Stephen Schneider. After legal threats from Stanford University — apparently on behalf of Prof. Schneider — the documentary filmmakers were forced to use a blank screen and an actor had to read the transcript of Schneider’s already taped but legally banned climate interview. The skeptical global warming documentary “Not Evil Just Wrong”, set for its international premier on October 18, 2009, interviewed Schneider about his flip-flop from a coming ice age proponent in the 1970s to his current advocacy of man-made global warming fears. Schneider is a professor of biological sciences at Stanford University. (email: shswebsite@lists.stanford.edu)

More BS from Google/Gore on the global warming myth.

Gore and Google: Pants on Fire
By Brian Sussman

Earth’s self-anointed global warming czar, Al Gore, has teamed up with his business partners at Google (he’s an Advisory Board member) to make the latest pitch for a planet that is about to burst into a bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.  Together they have created an internet video which heralds Google’s entrance into the world of climate forecasting.

The video champions Google’s new mapping tool which simulates a 3D map of the world predicting the effects of climate change through the year 2100.  They claim their data is provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.  According to Google, the mapping tool was introduced in partnership with the Danish Government ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Convention in December.  In otherwords, this is a visual ruse to scare the hell of out of the uninformed masses.

Probability and Global Warming
By Larrey Anderson
//

Imagine we have gone to a movie made by a former politician (who is not a scientist). In the movie we are informed (1) the earth is warming exponentially. (2) Human beings have been and will continue to cause this warming because we release a natural gas (CO2) into the atmosphere. (3) There will be catastrophic consequences from the exponential warming that will occur as a result of this release of CO2. (According to the movie the planet’s icecaps will melt, polar bears will die, and cities will disappear under water.) (4) To prevent these disasters radical changes are required to reduce the amount of man-made CO2 that is being released. (5) Draconian control of carbon dioxide output must be instituted by all governments of the world both by unilateral legislation limiting the use of fossil fuels and by tightly written treaties that further force the signatory countries to reduce their “carbon footprint.”

Quote of the day:

“Weren’t all the thermometers used to make this graph on land?  Doesn’t that leave out the 75% of the earth’s surface that is water?”

It’s in reference to ‘global warming’ that the idiots on the left keep crying in the wheat germ about. Oops, we need warm weather to grow that, and it takes a farmer with all his tractors and trucks to get it to your pie hole.
But I digress. ‘Global warming’ is BS. It’s that big yellow ball in the sky that keeps warming this lovely planet. The warmer, the better. More warming equates to more food growth for a longer time. There are so many things wrong with the ‘global warming’ hysteria, I just can’t list it all here. But, I have a nice article for your perusal. Even if you drink the ‘global warming’ Kool-aid, I suggest you take a look anyway. It might wake you up from your stupidity, if that’s possible.

My Global Warming Epiphany by Randall Hoven

Global warming is a complicated subject.  It therefore takes a lot of hubris or ignorance to think you can explain either the “for” or “against” case in a few hundred words.  But I stumbled onto some data that meets my “keen grasp of the obvious” threshold for understanding.

Recall that we really need to answer “yes” to four separate questions before we join the Al Gore religion of “sign the treaty immediately or we will all die.”

(1) Is the globe getting warmer?

(2) If so, is man doing it?

(3) If so, is it bad?

(4) If so, is the massive-reductions-in-CO2 approach the best way to deal with it?

You might have seen such questions before, but they frequently get mixed up in public discussions.  For example, some people imply that if the answer to (1) is “yes”, then the answer to (4) must be “yes” as well.  If the temperature graph is going up, destroy your SUV.  Or at least switch light bulbs.

Picked this off from Hot Air:

Pay attention. The BBC douchebag actually does some real journalism.

I’m voting for Dave. The rest of you might want to wake the hell up and vote for him as well. The Congress sure as hell isn’t doing shit for America. It’s all about how much power they have and how much money they can steal from the treasury.

Vote For Dave
By Ken Russell

Dave McArthur owns a few bakeries in St Louis, Missouri; McArthur’s Bakery.  His bakeries make treats of legendary appeal throughout the St Louis area and Dave is a local media personality as well.  Most of us think apple turnovers and politics aren’t really compatible in the same sentence, but recently Dave’s made them so.  He didn’t want to.  He never intended to.  He was forced into a corner and for his own survival, he had to.  Here’s why.

Dave has to make his cold mixed doughy goodness hot; really hot in order to turn the goo into heaven in your mouth.  Bakery, baker, bake, hot, heat, ovens — don’t touch!

It’s just an excuse to tax the hell out of everyone and make these assholes in Congress even richer.

Wake the hell up people. Global warming is not a man made issue. That big yellow ball in the sky has a lot to do with it. And the fact that the earth has cycles of warmth and cooling that it goes through. The earth has been in a cooling trend since 1998. Get off the crack people.

Scientists to Congress: ‘Sky is not falling’
Say global warming alarmism unproven, energy taxes crippling
By Bob Unruh

A team of scientists with years of expertise in climate issues has written an open letter to Congress asserting the “sky is not falling” and there is no evidence man is causing global warming.

The letter was signed by physics professors Robert H. Austin and William Happer of Princeton, environmental sciences professor S. Fred Singer of the University of Virginia, retired manager for strategic planning at ExxonMobil Roger Cohen, physics professor (emeritus) Harold W. Lewis at UC-Santa Barbara and others.

Their names are tied to long lists of initials, including APS, or the American Physical Society; AAAS, or the American Association for the Advancement of Science; and AGU, or the American Geophysical Union.

A Garden of Piggish Delights
Waxman-Markey is part power-grab, part enviro-fantasy. Here are 50 reasons to stop it.
By Stephen Spruiell & Kevin Williamson

The stimulus bill was the legislative equivalent of the famous cantina scene from Star Wars, an eye-popping collection of the freakish and exotic, gathered for dubious purposes. The Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill, known as ACES (the American Clean Energy and Security Act), is more like the third panel in Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights — a hellscape that disturbs the sleep of anybody who contemplates it carefully.

Two main things to understand about Waxman-Markey: First, it will not reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, at least not at any point in the near future. The inclusion of carbon offsets, which can be manufactured out of thin air and political imagination, will eliminate most of the demands that the legislation puts on industry, though in doing so it will manage to drive up the prices consumers pay for every product that requires energy for its manufacture — which is to say, for everything. Second, it represents a worse abuse of the public trust and purse than the stimulus and the bailouts put together. Waxman-Markey creates a permanent new regime in which environmental romanticism and corporate welfare are mixed together to form political poison. From comic bureaucratic power grabs (check out the section of the bill on candelabras) to the creation of new welfare programs for Democratic constituencies to, above all, massive giveaways for every financial, industrial, and political lobby imaginable, this bill would permanently deform American politics and economic life.

The Green Nazi Hell and America’s Future?
By Mark Musser
By the time of the Nazi period, “blood and soil” had become hardened into a romantic nationalistic green ideology…

Some 100 years before the Nazis rose to power, German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) ominously wrote that “we owe the animals not mercy but justice, and the debt often remains unpaid in Europe, the continent that is permeated with Foeter Judaicus…it is obviously high time in Europe that Jewish views on nature were brought to an end…the unconscionable treatment of the animal world must, on account of its immorality, be expelled from Europe.”

That such words became prophetic under the umbrella of a secular religion of nature that was Nazi Germany, colored by an environmental totalitarian view during the 1930’s and 40’s, is a historical truth that has been underappreciated-and unreported-for too long.

I can’t imagine the hysteria that the left would be going through if this were reversed. I think I’ll start refusing to give customers my services based on their view of global warming. If they believe it is manmade and the cap and trade scam is the way to save the planet, then I will refuse to do any work for them. Sounds good to me.

Climate of hatred: Prominent scientist refused service due to skepticism
By Steve Milloy  Wednesday

Prominent MIT physicist and global warming skeptic, Richard Lindzen, was recently refused the services of a Boston-area art appraiser because of global warming.

As Lindzen described in an e-mail:

In our recent house fire, an 18th century oriental rug was burnt, and we needed an appraisal of its value for our insurance.  We were referred to a dealer, [name withheld], who agreed to do the appraisal.  However, when my wife, Nadine, brought him the burnt rug, he rudely turned her away saying that he had sent me an email explaining his position…

Here’s the text of the art appraiser’s e-mail to Lindzen:

I am sorry to inform you that after some consideration, I’ve decided not to perform the appraisal service that you’ve requested. Your writing on the subject of global warming is offensive to me personally, and I feel that I would have difficulty being an impartial appraiser of value given my view on the subject.
