UN Climate Group Attempts to Hide Information

BREAKING: An IPCC backchannel ‘cloud’ was apparently established to hide IPCC deliberations from FOIA.

Posted on October 17, 2011 by Anthony Watts

CEI has learned of a UN plan recently put in place to hide official  correspondence on non-governmental accounts, which correspondence a federal inspector general has already confirmed are subject to FOIA. This ‘cloud’ serves as a dead-drop of sorts for discussions by U.S. government employees over the next report being produced by the scandal-plagued IPCC, which is funded with millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Professor Resigns from Organization over Global Warming Scam

“The following is a letter to the American Physical Society released to the public by Professor Emiritus of physics Hal Lewis of the University of California at Santa Barbara”

 

“For reasons that will soon become clear my former pride at being an APS Fellow all these years has been turned into shame, and I am forced, with no pleasure at all, to offer you my resignation from the Society.”

“It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist.”

UK’s “Pay as you Throw” Program: Garbage Weight is Monitored by Microchip in your Garbage Can! What’s Next?

The growing threat of a stealth tax on the rubbish we throw away was exposed by startling figures yesterday.

More than 2.5million homes now have wheelie bins fitted with microchips to weigh their contents.

This is an increase of nearly two-thirds in just a year. The bins, which can be electronically identified and weighed, are designed for ‘pay-as-you-throw’ rubbish tax schemes.

February Storm Cripples The Capitol

ClimateGate Continues

Climatgate continues.  Judicial Watch has been requesting FOIA records from NASA about their climate change documents for a very long time.  They finally received some email exchanges, and it looks like climategate 2.0.

Mr. Brooks, Please Define “Educated Class”

       In a New York Times column today, David Brooks examines the disillusionment of our American society as we begin this New Year and new decade. Part of the piece reads as follows:

The educated class believes in global warming, so public skepticism about global warming is on the rise. The educated class supports abortion rights, so public opinion is shifting against them. The educated class supports gun control, so opposition to gun control is mounting.

      From my standpoint, it sounds as though Mr. Brooks is insinuating that if one opposes abortion, one is not educated. If when believes in the right to bear arms, one is uneducated (and a Bible-thumper). If one disagrees with the global warming argument (have they seen New England, and the threat to the citrus in Florida), one is uneducated.

     I do not consider myself as “uneducated”. I don’t consider those who share the same values as I do to be uneducated. Likewise, I don’t consider those who seek gun control or who are pro-abortion to lack education either… they are simply misguided!

     Where I do agree with Mr. Brooks is on one of his comments about the Tea Party movement:

Moreover, the tea party movement has passion. Think back on the recent decades of American history — the way the hippies defined the 1960s; the feminists, the 1970s; the Christian conservatives, the 1980s. American history is often driven by passionate outsiders who force themselves into the center of American life.

      The Tea Party movement is not “fractious” as he states just prior to this. That is becuase it is not an alliance to a party, but it is the overall acknowledgement by American individuals that our government is too big, too intrusive, and simply unsustainable within its present fiscal pattern. I have been to several Tea Party events. It is not a Republican or Democrat or Independent event, it is an American event. Mr. Brooks is correct when he uses the term “Passion”. Passion is suffering, and the American people are suffering under the burden of any over-bearing government that has chosen to ignore the precepts of the documents that founded this Great Nation. The “passion” at the Tea Party events is the realization that “We The People” must demand that the tyranny in our governments, at all levels, must end NOW.

       “We the People“, Mr. Brooks, we are the “Educated Class“!

Update on Polar Caps Melting

Polar Ice Caps Melting!

Larrey Anderson

The Watts Up With That website has a scary story about our melting polar ice caps. John Lockwood from Washington D.C. found an interesting article from the Washington Post.  Here are some excerpts:

The Arctic seems to be warming up.  Reports … all point to a radical change in climatic conditions, and hitherto unheard of high temperatures in that part of the earth’s surface.

Ice conditions were exceptional. In fact, so little ice has never before been noted. Dr. Hoel reports that he made a section of the Gulf Stream at 81 degrees north latitude and took soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters. These show the Gulf Stream very warm, and it could be traced as a surface current till beyond the 81st parallel.

Where formerly great masses of ice were found, there are now often moraines, accumulations of earth and stone. At many points where glaciers formerly extended far into the sea they have entirely disappeared.

Oh, I almost forgot to add: The article was written in 1922.  See the whole story here.
