SANTORUM, GINGRICH, AGW, AND THE TRUTH

One...just ONE Presidential candidate has told the truth about the insanity of "Climate Change" AKA Global Warming. Here is what Rick Santorum said: "I believe the earth gets warmer and I also believe the earth gets cooler. And I think history points out that it does that and that the idea that man, through the production of CO2 -- which is a trace gas in the atmosphere, and the man-made part of that trace gas is itself a trace gas -- is somehow responsible for climate change is, I think, just patently absurd when you consider all the other factors." video here

Hallelujah! Unfortunately the bureaucrats in government are not listening. It's as if an army of robots have been unleashed on the American public, all of them carrying the memo that we will do what they say, "OR ELSE." And they all use the excuse that we are a plague on the planet so we better get in line. More on that in a minute.

To be fair, I asked Newt Gingrich at a town hall in Rock Hill, SC about Sustainable Development and he said he repudiated the methodology and would get rid of it immediately if he were President. He is one smart guy, so I am figuring that he knows that Sustainable Development is based on "Climate Change" insanity and therefore doesn't believe in the hoax either, in spite of getting sucked into that ridiculous commercial with Pelosi some time ago. (He has said that was a huge mistake.) There are videos of Gingrich saying he opposes all things Agenda 21. I still want to hear him say just what Rick Santorum has said. And as long as I am on the subject of Newt, I might as well put it out there that I would vote for him if North Carolina had a primary tomorrow. I also have some respect for Santorum and would like him to stay in the race. I could live with either of them, actually.

Back to the robots. They must be getting paid well. There are a lot of them and they descend upon cities and "regions" in droves with reams of literature on why we should all be packed into high density areas with mass transit and energy star appliances. Our CCOG (Centralina Council of Governments) has been handily equipped recently with our tax dollars, nearly $5 million from HUD, to waltz into our local city government and lure our elected leaders into compliance with Smart Growth and Sustainable Development methods to control our lives. How many times are you hearing that our lifestyles are not "sustainable," that we have to get out of our cars, live smaller, take rapid transit, stop watering our cattle on our own lands, stop eating meat, turn over our land to conservancies, et al? And all of this rubbish, while based on the UN Agenda 21 doctrine, is cloaked in the most insane lies and twisted language that the world has ever seen. The industrial age has not wrecked the climate of the Earth.

Climate Depot has a great Article describing the truth of the matter. What is really tragic to me is that so very many people are swept up in the fervor of these lies that the rest of us who know better are suffering from the idiotics of the green economic disasters the liars perpetrate.

At least two Presidential candidates on the right have said something of the truth. One is Santorum by repudiating the false premise. And the other is Newt Gingrich by repudiating the implementation of Sustainable Development. Either one of them is light years better than Mitt Romney who I would trust about as far as I could throw him.

The primary process for Republicans this year is the biggest fiasco I think I've ever seen in my lifetime. And now today we have Trump making it an ever bigger circus.

Are we having fun yet? Oh, and Happy Groundhog Day!!

Since I'm down for a few days recuperating from surgery, I'm sharing here one of my favorite sources with you....
One of the best blogs on climate is Watts Up With That, created by Anthony Watts. He has the science (which is sometimes over my head), and he has the best articles explaining why global warming and CO2 are not the buggabears that the globalist socialists want you to think they are. Given Obama's energy starvation diet for the United States, Watts' site is a breath of fresh air, speaking truth to power. His site is full of valuable insight and discussions...go have a read!!

From Watts Up With That - Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach
"The best way to protect the poor from the ravages of the climate is to make them middle-class, and that takes energy. The fact that we are depriving the world’s poor of energy now, in order to save them from a hypothesized and ill-supported possible calamity fifty years from now, is a monstrous aberration of basic justice that history will rightly condemn."

AMERICAN ABSOLUTION

No doubt you are seeing the same commercials on TV that I am. You know, the ones with the ethereal sounding voices of children, the visage of celestial iconography, and the word "Hopenhagen" floating across the screen. I wonder if many in America have any clue what the Copenhagen Treaty proposes to do to the sovereignty of the United States. It all looks so Madison Avenue slick and "touchy - feely" warm and fuzzy. Intoning a chant-like mantra designed to appeal to every new-age hippie and their children whose minds are already spinning with guilt for living on the planet, these commercials are designed to make Americans think they are part of some really big worldwide hug. A hug called the Copenhagen Treaty. And of course, President Obama is flitting off with his entourage and huge jets to Copenhagen to put his face all over it in order to make the world believe that he is saving the planet from whom? Us. That's who.
For over sixty years now the left-wing propagandists have been very occupied with convincing Americans that we are very bad people. Forty years ago they grabbed hold of the schools to make sure the children were taught that Americans live on stolen land, built the country using stolen labor, have an illegitimate Constitution written by nasty old white men, and have been using up the planet's resources illegitimately and unfairly. So now we have a population of people, some left wing zealots, some indoctrinated, and some who are just too uneducated to understand, who believe America is a travesty and has no business being more successful than the rest of the world. These people have been led into a twisted guilt trip for just being American. They think Obama will absolve them of their guilt if he just goes to Copenhagen and signs away our guilt to the rest of the world and consigns us to penance payments for decades to come.

First I want to explain what this Copenhagen Treaty says and means, just so you know.

According to Jed Gladstein writing for American Thinker

The proposed treaty authorizes the establishment of a "government" to transfer wealth from industrial nations to non-industrial nations in payment of a "climate debt" which, the treaty declares, the industrial nations owe on account of burning carbon-based fuels. The newly created international government is to have the authority to decide issues relating to carbon emissions in signatory nations, the power to levy what amounts to carbon taxes on signatory nations, and the power to enforce its levies without reference to the will of the people who live in the signatory nations.

Thus, the proposed Climate Change Treaty demands that:

• An unelected international government is to be established without the American people voting on its establishment or membership;
• The unelected international government is to have authority to legislate how much and what kind of carbon-based activity Americans may engage in before they will be taxed on such activity;
• The unelected international government is to have authority to decide the amount of taxes Americans must pay for carbon-based activities, determine the people to whom the taxes will be given, and decide how those people will spend the taxes -- and none of those activities will be subject to presidential veto, congressional oversight, or review by the federal Judiciary, much less a vote by the American people;
• If the American people fail to abide by the legislative edicts of the unelected international government, they will be subject to international enforcement proceedings that are alien to our constitutional ideas of due process, equal protection, personal freedom, and property rights.

So, Obama wants to sign a treaty that gives some panel, not authorized by the people of the United States, the power to tax Americans and dictate to Americans just how much energy Americans are allowed to consume for their businesses and their lives. Somehow I'm not feeling the love here. Did Americans knowingly elect a President to sign away American sovereignty and the U.S. Constitution? Did Barack Obama not take the oath to support, defend, and uphold the U.S. Constitution? (The oath was botched and he was subjected to a do-over, as I recall)
And if this isn't bad enough, did Americans actually do anything to worsen the condition of planet earth in the past forty years?

Emails revealed last week from the Climatic Research Unit in Britain proved that the scientists feeding information to the United Nations' International Panel on Climate Change had been manipulating evidence, hiding the truth, and laughing all the way to the bank for years. This information finally shows that lying to get funding research was the norm. It also shows that the assertion that men are to blame for some radical shift in the climate is absurd. It finally exposes the hoax for what it is. It finally exposes Al Gore for what he is, a very clever snake oil salesman who also has been laughing all the way to the bank. The entire reason for the IPCC, the Kyoto Treaty, and the Copenhagen Treaty has been a virtual shakedown of advanced industrial nations.

And finally, this email chain of evidence proves that Americans are not to blame for ruining anyone's planet. While America's population has risen over the past twenty years, our output of pollution has gone down. There is no reason for Americans to feel guilty or pay through the nose for some false data put together by some extortionists for their own gain. Americans can hold their heads up and stop feeling as if we are some scourge on the earth. Americans can be proud of their track record on pollution and stewardship of the earth. America is not a "problem" and should not be held hostage to some ridiculous ransom. Obama needs to get off the Climate Change train because it is heading for a very big crash. And frankly, I think, so is he. The lies are not "sustainable."

SCIENCE TRUTH ON CLIMATE CHANGE From AL FIN

A Picture is worth a thousand words...to repeat a coined phrase.
I often check out the blog of Al Fin

whose link is on the right side bar of this blog. Insightful and full of great information, some of which is way over my head, it is always interesting. Today he has this graph and the following editorial. (below) All you have to do is look at that graph to realize America is not the villain in this "supposed" CO2 scare that Al Gore and Co. and Obama want to make you think we are. First, I am not at all convinced that CO2 is any kind of a problem, but rather one of the most necessary components of life here on Earth. Having said that, even if it were, you can see that Americans are not the evil culprits of life-damning actions that the Climate Changelings would have you believe. Those are my thoughts....below you can read the great thoughts from AL FIN.Image via Watts Up With That!?"Global climate treaties are increasingly aimed at the heart of developed nations in Europe, North America, and Oceania. The leaders of the US, the UK, Australia, and the EU are falling over each other in the attempt to submit their nations to most crippling regime of energy starvation conceivable. Yet it is clear from the chart above, that the US and Europe can not control the rest of the world's carbon emissions.

So the rest of the world accelerates its CO2 spew unhindered by the international climate gestapo. In fact, under proposed new Copenhagen rules, the North America and Europe would have to pay the third world reparations into the $trillions -- while at the same time reducing their own energy output to starvation levels. Why are western leaders so driven to place their nations under such draconian and self-destructive international energy regulations and reparations?

Call it energy anorexia -- the Obama - Pelosi - Brown - Rudd disease. Like anorexia nervosa, energy anorexia is a deadly pathological response to an imagined problem. Energy anorexia threatens the life of the body -- in this case the nation.

There is no greater threat to an industrial economy than the restriction and destruction of its energy base. This tragicomic self-destructive impulse is made all the more pointless by the obvious fact that it will not change anything, in terms of global carbon balances."
