Breaking News: The Global Warming Bubble Has Finally Burst!

Drudge has a headline that says an Obama lacky has given up on cap-and-tax for this year at least.

In trying to find out why Preseident bush shocked every one by saying “NO”, a very strong “NO” to kyoto, I came up with things like this.
“The protocol is flawed for several reasons,” and Constance D Holmes goes on to explain her rather lengthy reasons to the House Committee on Science Feb 4th 1998. I will pick out just one or two phrases.

“First, the agreement reached at Kyoto on December 10-11, 1997 is not an effective or equitable climate policy and may never be regardless of U.S. efforts. Etc”

“Secondly, implementing the Kyoto protocol would result in serious harm to the U.S. economy, to U.S. families, workers and businesses. Here it is important to note that the Kyoto Protocol would require the U.S. to cede to a UN bureaucracy the powers we now use to set the pace of our economic growth, our production of goods and services, and the creation of new jobs. This form of unilateral economic disarmament makes no sense.”

“Third, as costly as the regulatory regime that would be created by the Kyoto Protocol in its present form might be, it would produce little or no discernible environmental benefit, as the Chairman Emeritus of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change, Bert Bolin, pointed out in an article in SCIENCE on January 16 1998. Etc.”

· It sets a U.S. emissions target, which cannot be met without causing severe economic and social dislocation.
· It transfers power to UN bureaucrats who could intrude into U.S. legislative and Constitutional processes by controlling U.S. economic growth, limiting the conduct of foreign policy by exempting only those greenhouse emissions that occur from UN sponsored “multilateral operations”.
· cost are a “stealth tax” on American consumers and businesses and it increases a UN bureaucracy that likely would be dominated by countries quite willing to use provisions in the Kyoto Protocol to impose economic and social change on U.S. families, workers and businesses–for little, if any, environmental gain.

On July 15th 1999 the Testimony of Jack Kemp before the House of Representatives “to speak on the alleged threat of man-made global warming; that treaty’s implications for both the world economy and the American system of government; and proposed legislation concerning so-called “early action credits” to reward hypothetical reductions in fossil fuel emissions. These credits are touted by some as offering a “market approach” enabling us to regulate the future climate of the Earth. As I hope to demonstrate, they are nothing of the kind: instead, they are truly market socialism, an artificial device attempting to mimic market activity that really conceals a concerted campaign by international bureaucrats to seize control of the world’s energy supply and indeed of every facet of our economic life.”

Very strong words–I continue–

“The Kyoto Protocol, the idea of trading credits to facilitate implementation of that agreement, and the very concept of regulating the word’s energy policies through an international treaty together constitute a huge battle over power–not just “power” in the sense of controlling the energy sources that drive the world economy, but political power in the sense of “who decides”; who decides how fast our economy should grow (or if it should grow at all), who decides etc, etc”

An article by Philip Stott, on 12th April 2001 holds one or two “facts”, although I cannot verify any of them. “European politicians, who like to focus on country-by country comparisons which are, in geographical terms, meaningless, have carefully nurtured the myth that the USA is the main producer of carbon dioxide (CO2). But how can you compare tiny counties, like the UK (only 94,227 square miles) or Sweden (173,723 square miles), with the USA (3,732,400 square miles)? Any meaningful geographical comparison has to be with Western Europe as a whole, or at least with the 15 Member States of the European Union (EU) and even the EU, at 1,249,000 square miles, has well under half the land area of the USA.”

“If we take the carbon dioxide emissions from consumption and flaring of fossil fuels for 1999 (1), we see that the countries of the EU emit around 925 million metric tons of carbon equivalent (MMTCe) per year, while the USA emits 1519.89 MMTCe per year. Correcting these figures by area gives us 0.0007 MMTCe per square mile per year for the EU and 0.0004 MMTCe per square mile for the USA. So the per unit area production in the EU is 175 percent that of the USA. And this does not include emissions from EU applicant states, like Turkey (49.96 MMTCe in 1999)”
Oooooops!

We should be concerned with REAL environmental issues like pollution and deforestation. Global warming hysteria has been a distraction from real issues.

How about doing something to halt the use of depleted uranium munitions?
How about looking into the suppression of clean energy technologies?
How about investing in more efficient land use?
How about addressing the issue of genetically modified food crops.
How about clean water and desalinization?

I could go on for several pages of items, none of which are given a fraction of the attention that Global Warming has received. Is the relatively minuscule increase in carbon dioxide really the most important issue?

I want Justice!
Do not stop hammering them till this whole farce is thrown into the dustbin of history.
Out of Copenhagen I want a full admission man-made global warming does not exist and climate change is not our fault.
Anyone from that day forward who screams of a man-made world wide climate catastrophe should be completely shunned as a crackpot and a menace to the human race. If someone has some scientific evidence to present, let them air out all the facts and data on the Internet first, for all to see if it can float. All news stories of catastrophe on the issue should come with a required warning label. The MSM should be considered Unsafe and a Danger to your mental health at all times.

Music to my ears. At least someone is telling it like it is in the language I like with heaps of praise to “the heroic mathematician Steve McIntyre”.

The Great Global Warming Scam (ctd)

I'm not a climate gloom and doomer, I'm an economy gloom and doomer, because the science is more accurate about this one.

is that this cooling trend we're entering will be warmer than it should be. That lie is countered here:

You can bet Congress is still planning to move forward with cap-and-trade legislation to target carbon emissions.

I still believe that carbon credits are a trojan horse funding mechanism for global governance and must be defeated for the sake of the Republic.

We need to spread this news far and wide, or we still face the threat of carbon legislation, even in spite of this damning indictment of the IPCC climatologists.

We have to change the word Denial to the word Agreement. Most people when surveyed are in Agreement that global warming aka climate change is not a problem, is not occurring, and agree we have global cooling now, confirmed by the satellite data, ocean data, and solar activity which has been nill for over 2 years.

Congress can start to reduce the national debt and save the tax payer tens of billions of dollars by cutting funding for CO2 programs now that it has been proven that these programs are completely unnecessary and a bunch of nonsense.

Shameless Bump.

Of course the government--or a madhouse of governments like the UN--lie about global "warming" or "cooling" or other so-called climate change. They can't reliably predict anything from month to month, even on a regional level, much less a planetary one, so they make up in repetition what they lack in facts.

Governments lie about the extent, the direction, and most importantly, the causes of large scale climate change, of course, but what don't they always lie about? So-called "Global Warming" is just one more created crisis which is concocted and exploited by the political class, along with their kept puppets in media and academia, to inconvienience, loot, and plunder the rest of us!!

PEACE AND FREEDOM!!
