John Coleman, Founder of Weather Channel - Global warming a scam
When I was a kid in Chicago, used to watch this guy - he was the best weatherman. I agree with him 100%, I am not falling for the Al Gore/ Chicken little - The sky is falling theory.
Is Global Warming a Scam? John Coleman, Founder of the Weather Channel, Says Yes
John Coleman, founder of the Weather channel, claims that global warming is a complete hoax. His ideas have been a major obstacle in initiatives in greenhouse awareness for political pulpits on the issue like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Al Gore. Entertainment has even made moves to incorporate green ideas into sitcoms and shows while John Coleman has called these critical concerns about environment "the greatest scam in history."
Coleman argues that the high caliber constituents supporting climate changes have monetary motives. At the same time, democrats argue the same about the republican agenda that aims to preserve oil profits.
Scientists do back Coleman's assertion, but valid evidence to support his theory is far and in between. Most professionals agree there is a strong connection between man's industrial progression and the changes in temperatures or weather around the world. Coleman denies this connection out right and gave a good example of his typical argument in an article prepared for the International Climate and Environmental Change Assessment Project:
"I say this knowing you probably won't believe me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. ... I have read dozens of scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct."
Coleman explains there are thousands of reasons for global warming, also noting that the earth had a much higher average temperature during the time of Rome than now. In addition, every planet in our solar system is experiencing a rise in temperature, more than likely due to the sun's normal cyclical changes.
Coleman agrees that carbon emissions do add to an increase in temperature, but says the amount is insignificant. He explains that
when the volcano Krakatoa blew up in the late 1800's, it dumped more carbon emissions into the air than all of the combined carbon emissions created by man since the beginning of the industrial revolution to present. Coleman continues by explaining that the earth has cyclical changes that are created by the sun, ocean currents, volcanic erruptions, etc, that cause the earth to go from ice age to hot house back to ice age - "its normal", Coleman says.
If we cut out every car, and every factory and run everything on solar power we would still have a warming planet because thats what cycle its in, when that cycle is over we will start moving towards another ice age.

No joke it is a scam?
Of course it is a scam. For the last five or six thousand years (at least) the earth has gone through warming and cooling trends all while supporting life, and we have that in recorded history.
What is not in recorded history is any weather patterns further back than about two hundred years ago.
Anything that points to "global warming" and uses evidence outside of the two hundred or so year record keeping events is using something called "circular reasoning" see the movie Idiocracy.
Why do plants crave Brondo?
Because it's got electrolites.
What are electrolites?
That's what is in Brondo.
Why don't we just try giving the plants water?
You mean like out of the toilet?
Well, it doesn't have to be out of the toilet.
I don't understand, because plants crave Brondo.
Get it???? me either. Some folks do. And that my friend is called "Algoraphobia" it's the mind dope that econazis are pushing.
The EPA allows big business to pump harmful emissions into the environment and should really be called "The Big Polluters Protection Agency" because the EPA is a safety net preventing average folks like us from bringing suit against those same companies that the EPA "monitors".
Wow, with no EPA I could sue the polluters that live down the road from me and they would have to stop. However with the EPA, I have to be told what to breathe and told "it really isn't that harmful at these -safe- levels".
Big Brother isn't your friend and cares nothing about protecting you, instead he wants to kick your butt and take all of your lunch money, While you breathe his smoggy air!
Didn't Al Gore bravely
Didn't Al Gore bravely claimed to have invented the Internet? Same Al Gore is now claiming he understands Global Warming?
Don't Forget
He warned us about the deadly Manbearpig. It is half man, half bear, and half pig!
Haha
And in fact recently killed Manbearpig!
And the world is flat to...
This isnt about politics.
Anyone who believes a "weather man" / TV personality over a scientist is sorely misguiding themselves. This guy was booted from the Weather Channel after one year...
Numbers dont lie... you should just stop trying to make this real science seem to have something to do with Al Gore. Al Gore is on this subject because the scientists are making such a big deal out of it ... not the other way around.
If any of you would take the time to look at the actual charts yourselves you will see that indeed the world is getting hotter... and JUST at the moment it is getting hotter we are dumping huge amounts of green house gases into the atmosphere ... it would be stupid of us not to see that we could tip the scales on this planet.
Remember that the earth has gone through cycles before that humanity could not survive... are we going to risk pushing earth into such a situation again?
This isn't about politics?
You said: "This isnt about politics."
Um,I can see you are not willing to budge on this one?
What planet do you live on?
Everything is about politics!
Again,even if scientists did have true information about global warming,for example,the fact is that MSM and other outlets will always be feeding us 'as consumer's',what they wish for us to believe. Our reality is truly manufactured right before our eyes.
At least consider that the government and those in power,who determine *which scientific studies* get funding,may *possibly* be willing to pull the wool over our eyes and/or use information for their own ends.
In this way,all knowledge is political,as well. The way in which our society is currently structured makes it impossible to discount this.
Remember what Orwell said:
"All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred, and schizophrenia."
-George Orwell, from "Politics and the English Language" (which is an essay everyone should read.)
yep,i'm all for a final doomsday,if....
You said: "Remember that the earth has gone through cycles before that humanity could not survive... are we going to risk pushing earth into such a situation again?"
well,we just might be...risking that.
cuz i'd rather 'live free or die'....
and regulating people's actions,even if i do not agree with them,is both wrong AND it is NOT GOING TO WORK>
C'mon. I'd rather have the current situation stay the same or worsen than force,through fear -based means,changes.
Only a true change in consciousness will create a change in relationship with the earth.
And I'm for real change,not that manufactured consent that leaves us right where we started: living on this planet in a prison of our own making,only for a longer time b/c we 'saved the earth' and our species, from destruction.
Uugh.
That's the last thing I want-
And,yes,i guess i would be considered one of those 'lefties',but i'm with the 'republicans' on this one.
And I'm sure Dennis K. would agree that one cannot force change on someone. We can regulate protection of other's rights,which is perhaps the only arena in which this topic warrants real discussion.
And this is RP's stance-that we cannot enforce values through legislation.
btw: would you be able to or want to 'force' someone to support RP? You really cannot force a state of mind. It's the same thing.
John Coleman FTW
I used to watch him as a kid in Chicago too, he was great (tho Tom Skilling is pretty awesome too). Re: Man-made global warming, there was a brilliant documentary up on Google, don't know if it's still up, "The Great Global Warming Swindle," made in England, which put all the science (and pseudo-science) together in a terrifically clear and compelling way.
global scam
here's the truth dude.
global warming is a scam, yes it's happening and here's why and how.
fact: planets and the moon's gravity effects the earth. the tides prove that.
fact: most planets are on the outside of the earths / sun orbit.
fact: it takes them planets longer to orbit the sun.
fact: when the majority of the planets are in the orbit and are away from the sun and earth, the earth rotates the sun in a circular orbit. this allows lots of sun to warm the earth.
fact: when the majority of the planets and moons are near the sun and earth, it has a pulling effect on our orbit. it causes us to go into an elipical orbit, in 1 phase we are close to the sun
fact: and in the other phase of the orbt we're farther away from the sun because of the elongating of the earths orbit giving us less sun exposure.
this cycle causes warming and cooling in 10,000 yr cycles.
we are now in the phase where the large planets and their moons are aproaching the furthest point in their orbit around the sun,
in 2012 all the planets will line up, the last time it did this was 6000 yrs ago, they are all alomst at the furthest point from the sun and earth.
this has a lessening effect of their gravity pulling on the earth and we are in a circular orbit causeing more sun exposure and thus warmer sun temps.
increases in co2 preceed this warming, increases in o2 proceed the cooling.
co2 levels are rising, the temps are rising, because no planets are pulling us away from the sun.
it's supposed to happen this way.
6000 yrs from now the gov will say increased o2 production is cooling the earth, the polar ice caps will grow the sea levels will fall and o2 will increase.
when co increases it turbo charges the eco system, plants go crazy and produce more o2
when o2 increases the animals get bigger and healthyer, so will humans.
GLOBAL WARMING IS A SCAM.
mark my words, this is the truth and you will hear more about it as people wake up to reality.
global warming scam is to pass a carbon tax to fund world government and nothing more.
nicely done!!!
I love it, who can deny physics?
My Honda's emmissions are melting the Polar Caps of Mars!
and a few other planets...so tax me so the UN can finance it's nefarious agendas.
Jeez, yes the globe is warming...so are the others...could there POSSIBLY be another explanation? I'm with worrying about a ship breaking up in my oceans and dumping oil into the environment relied upon by myself and my fellow earth creatures...
"I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles
Go Methane Man
Ate a bag of White Castles last night,Really warmed up under the sheets during the night. Watch out polar caps!
Signing off - have to go Ron Paul door hanging
Alright guys - get off the internet and go campaigning
Peace
http://ronpaul.meetup.com...
today my RP campaigning will be...
...a lap around downtown Salem on foot with my RP sign and some friends with theirs, then off to Portland for a big meeting where we'll be training dozens of Oregonians on how to effectively canvass for RP and become Ron Paul Republicans (like I've been for years!). Then I'll probably be on the phone with other activists for a few hours.
Wheeeeee

Exactly!
Hit the streets. Call your grandma.
Be a truth virus.
Goal is truth
You are free to believe what you want to - If you truly believe that global warming exists - then you need to practice what you preach - do not buy anything that is made from petro-chemicals, do not drive a car, do not fly in an airplane - I see nobody doing this, they just want to force people under threat of gun point or tazer or whatever to abide by these crazy environmental laws. Ron Paul is the best candidate on the majority of the issues - you can be assured if there is an environmental problem that Ron Paul being the completely honest candidate that he is, will work to resolve it. But if Ron Paul supporters want to switch to Edwards, Clinton whoever because they think Ron Paul is not tough enough on saving the environment then they are sadly mistaken. If there is one person you can believe on the environment it is Ron Paul because of his honesty - if he finds out something needs serious attention because of catastrophic consequences then you know he will address it.
I am an environmentalist - I believe in saving rain forest, saving animal
species, green building, sustainable construction, environmentally friendly products etc. Do I believe in finding alternative forms of fuels - yes, do I believe we need to conserve - yes. Do I think we should tell someone to stop driving their SUV - no. Do I think we should tell people they can no longer eat meat or use toilet paper - no.
I think global warming is unstoppable until the next ice age, what concerns me more is when a Russian oil tanker cracks open in the Black Sea pouring out millions of gallons of oil creating an ecological catastrophe. That could be prevented, oil in San Francisco bay can be prevented - global warming cannot.
I started a restaurant business that has a very low carbon foot print, we use PLA plastic for all of our cups and bowls, we use organic produce thats helps the environment to be free from pestacides and chemicals. I am doing my part-
http://www.toss-across.co...
global warming in my opinion is a money created myth.
Global Warming is just another scam
I Am Doing my part by replacing my old fashion lightbulb with Florescent, but to me, global warming is all about big business.
Global warm=real and a scam,at the same time....
Yes,and has anyone noticed how the term 'fight climate change' has been used in place of stop global warming?
We have to look at power grabs wherever they are-fight the change of climate-any climate,ie,political climate,etc.
It is a slogan that subconsiously asks us NOT to change.
Regarding global warming-as an agenda,it is absolutely a scam designed to create more laws,taxes and controls. It is designed to be yet another fear- based change program,orchestrated in part by one branch of the Rockefellers.
I personally believe that unless there is change in consciousness-not fear based environmental change-we will not have lasting change. Only a realization that a new way of existing with the earth will create the change. Just like you cannot force or use fear to make someone support RP. He is advocating personal responsibility and only someone who truly is ready to be free will embrace his positions about liberty.
That said,of course our appalling abuse,degradation and pollution of the earth needs to be addressed-by each person and community,in their/its own way. Again,in the spirit of RP,regulating others via telling them what to do-ie,do not drive this car,do not eat meat,do not,do not,do not-will not work. As RP says,you cannot create values through regulation. They are individual.
I rather like RP's stance on this-let the private market take care of this: private ownership is always more likely to care for property. [Of course,I believe there are hidden reasons for the US national park service to exsist,as well-it was not all for the protection of the planet/country/earth.]
Unless,of course,there is damage to another's property,then the government gets involved.
We have another whole piece of the story to deal with in regards to this: corporate pollution,and transnational pollution. Those are more complicated,but I believe RP's stance of focusing on putting ownership and rights back into the hands of the people is an essential component and a great place to start. We have to look at solutions as multi-step processes,not political slogans.
Our country's political arena has for too long been about divisive,slogan-based decisions and solutions. This is a naiive approach when it comes to actually making changes.
I don't think global warming
I don't think global warming is money-created, but I definitely think it's money-exploited. I think overall your stance is a productive one.
What is your Goal??
Yes, this is all true. However, what is you goal? To get Ron Paul elected or to prove Global warming is a scam? You are hurting votes for Ron Paul with this no matter how true it is.
When those who believe in Global warming hear this stuff they just plug their ears, and say , oh - another conservative global warming denier. This is going to be the BIG attack issue and fear mongering issue. If you want to win then post this stuff in a global warming group and not a RP group.
THIS IS HURTING AND NOT HELPING!!!
The fact is that Ron PAuls energy policy is the best policy for those who are concerned about the enviorment and global warming.
YOU WILL NOT CONVERT THEM NO HOW MANY EXPERTS AND STUDIES YOU SHOW THEM.
IF YOU WANT RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR ` THE TRUTH.
RON PAUL ENERGY POLICY IS THE MOST GREEN ENERGY POLICY OF ALL CANDIDATES AND WILL DO MORE TO CURB OUR GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS THAN ANY OTHER CANDIDATE.
Move over Al Gore
Ron Pauls Energy Policy of legalizing industrial Hemp. IS THE BIGGEST THING ANY PRESIDENT COULD DO FOR GLOBAL WARMING.
Hemp for Victory
A global warming solution.. http://youtube.com/watch?......
HEMP IS 5 TIMES MORE EFFICIENT THAN CORN IN MAKING ETHANOL AND BECAUSE OF ITS SPECIAL PROPERTIES THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF MAKING ETHANOL AND BURINING IT REMOVES 1 CARBON ATOM FROM THE ATMOSPHERE.
Furthermore, Hemp is a very important Crop for many other reasons enviormentally. I'm sure you know about the 2,200 that died in Bangladesh and the other Bangladesh problems in the past with flooding.
The main culprit is SOIL ERROISION FROM DESTRUCTION OF THE NATURAL HEMP THAT HAS GROWN THERE FOR MILLINIA
Hemp, requires no herbicides and chokes out weeds and requires little pesticides. Be aware that America has lost 50% of its topsoil since the destruction of the Ferral hemp that used to cover our country and the outlawing of farming hemp. Now we have to continually used fertilizers to grow crops that have less nutrition because the soil is DEAD.
FARMS through HERBICIDES AND PESTICIDES ARE THE #1 POLLUTER OF OUR WATER.
IF the DEA would let those states that have industrial hemp farming bills actually grow it , we could be free of mid -east oil and significantly cut our CO2 emmissions.
1 acre of hemp can replace 20 acres of trees for paper pulp.
Go to Abovetheignorance.org and find out the truth why hemp was outlawed! Henry Ford built the car to run on ethanol from hemp. JP morgan and Du-pont wanted it outlawed to sell oil.
Hemp also burns very hot and in WW2 was used as a replacement for coal in making energy. Hemp is truly a wonder plant.
Hemp has thousands of industrial uses that replaces Crude Oil product in all of them. From Bio-Degradable plastics to paints and oils. Henry Ford even buit a car almost completely out of Hemp! (chich and chong just copied it. l.o.l.) http://youtube.com/watch?......
and http://youtube.com/watch?......
http://youtube.com/result......
http://youtube.com/watch?......
The seeds are the most complete form of protein on the earth and have been a important feed grain through history. (Gruel ~ is boiled hemp seeds fyi) EATING HEMP SEEDS IS A CURE FOR ED. If you buy hemp protien powder and take it be prepared for a woody. Hemp has been praised in the Kama Sutra as a aphrodesiac. Hemp Seed Protien IS. Natural Viagra
Not to mention the more potent hemp, (THC) is proven to cure 3 types of cancer and re-generate nerve cells (which was previously thought impossible.)
This is just the tip of the iceburg on Hemp and the real reason it was outlawed.
Global Warming will be used as a way to take away your freedom while the entire time they outlaw the solution.
RON PAUL IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO HAS A VIABLE SOLUTION.

Marijuana does NOT pose a threat to the general public. Marijuana is very much a danger to the oil companies, alcohol, tobacco industries and a large number of chemical corporations. Various big businesses, with plenty of dollars and influence, have suppressed the truth from the people.
The truth is if marijuana was utilized for its vast array of commercial products, it would create an industrial atomic bomb! Entrepreneurs have not been educated on the product potential of pot. The super rich have conspired to spread misinformation about an extremely versatile plant that, if used properly, would ruin their companies.
Where did the word 'marijuana' come from? In the mid 1930s, the M-word was created to tarnish the good image and phenomenal history of the hemp plant...as you will read. The facts cited here, with references, are generally verifiable in the Encyclopedia Britannica which was printed on hemp paper for 150 years:
• All schoolbooks were made from hemp or flax paper until the 1880s; Hemp Paper Reconsidered, Jack Frazier, 1974.
• It was LEGAL TO PAY TAXES WITH HEMP in America from 1631 until the early 1800s; LA Times, Aug. 12, 1981.
• REFUSING TO GROW HEMP in America during the 17th and 18th Centuries WAS AGAINST THE LAW! You could be jailed in Virginia for refusing to grow hemp from 1763 to 1769; Hemp in Colonial Virginia, G. M. Herdon.
• George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers GREW HEMP; Washington and Jefferson Diaries. Jefferson smuggled hemp seeds from China to France then to America.
• Benjamin Franklin owned one of the first paper mills in America and it processed hemp. Also, the War of 1812 was fought over hemp. Napoleon wanted to cut off Moscow's export to England; Emperor Wears No Clothes, Jack Herer.
• For thousands of years, 90% of all ships' sails and rope were made from hemp. The word 'canvas' is Dutch for cannabis; Webster's New World Dictionary.
• 80% of all textiles, fabrics, clothes, linen, drapes, bed sheets, etc. were made from hemp until the 1820s with the introduction of the cotton gin.
• The first Bibles, maps, charts, Betsy Ross's flag, the first drafts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were made from hemp; U.S. Government Archives.
• The first crop grown in many states was hemp. 1850 was a peak year for Kentucky producing 40,000 tons. Hemp was the largest cash crop until the 20th Century; State Archives.
• Oldest known records of hemp farming go back 5000 years in China, although hemp industrialization probably goes back to ancient Egypt.
• Rembrants, Gainsboroughs, Van Goghs as well as most early canvas paintings were principally painted on hemp linen.
• In 1916, the U.S. Government predicted that by the 1940s all paper would come from hemp and that no more trees need to be cut down. Government studies report that 1 acre of hemp equals 4.1 acres of trees. Plans were in the works to implement such programs; Department of Agriculture
• Quality paints and varnishes were made from hemp seed oil until 1937. 58,000 tons of hemp seeds were used in America for paint products in 1935; Sherman Williams Paint Co. testimony before Congress against the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act.
• Henry Ford's first Model-T was built to run on hemp gasoline and the CAR ITSELF WAS CONTRUCTED FROM HEMP! On his large estate, Ford was photographed among his hemp fields. The car, 'grown from the soil,' had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941.
• Hemp called 'Billion Dollar Crop.' It was the first time a cash crop had a business potential to exceed a billion dollars; Popular Mechanics, Feb., 1938.
• Mechanical Engineering Magazine (Feb. 1938) published an article entitled 'The Most Profitable and Desirable Crop that Can be Grown.' It stated that if hemp was cultivated using 20th Century technology, it would be the single largest agricultural crop in the U.S. and the rest of the world.
The following information comes directly from the United States Department of Agriculture's 1942 14-minute film encouraging and instructing 'patriotic American farmers' to grow 350,000 acres of hemp each year for the war effort:
'...(When) Grecian temples were new, hemp was already old in the service of mankind. For thousands of years, even then, this plant had been grown for cordage and cloth in China and elsewhere in the East. For centuries prior to about 1850, all the ships that sailed the western seas were rigged with hempen rope and sails. For the sailor, no less than the hangman, hemp was indispensable...
...Now with Philippine and East Indian sources of hemp in the hands of the Japanese...American hemp must meet the needs of our Army and Navy as well as of our industries...
...the Navy's rapidly dwindling reserves. When that is gone, American hemp will go on duty again; hemp for mooring ships; hemp for tow lines; hemp for tackle and gear; hemp for countless naval uses both on ship and shore. Just as in the days when Old Ironsides sailed the seas victorious with her hempen shrouds and hempen sails. Hemp for victory!'
Certified proof from the Library of Congress; found by the research of Jack Herer, refuting claims of other government agencies that the 1942 USDA film 'Hemp for Victory' did not exist.
Hemp cultivation and production do not harm the environment. The USDA Bulletin #404 concluded that Hemphemp produces 4 times as much pulp with at least 4 to 7 times less pollution. From Popular Mechanics, Feb. 1938:
'It has a short growing season...It can be grown in any state...The long roots penetrate and break the soil to leave it in perfect condition for the next year's crop. The dense shock of leaves, 8 to 12 feet above the ground, chokes out weeds.
...hemp, this new crop can add immeasurably to American agriculture and industry.'
In the 1930s, innovations in farm machinery would have caused an industrial revolution when applied to hemp. This single resource could have created millions of new jobs generating thousands of quality products. Hemp, if not made illegal, would have brought America out of the Great Depression.
William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane) and the Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division of Kimberly Clark owned vast acreage of timberlands. The Hearst Company supplied most paper products. Patty Hearst's grandfather, a destroyer of nature for his own personal profit, stood to lose billions because of hemp.
In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to make plastics from oil and coal. Dupont's Annual Report urged stockholders to invest in its new petrochemical division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane, celluloid, methanol, nylon, rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made from oil. Natural hemp industrialization would have ruined over 80% of Dupont's business.
THE CONSPIRACY
Andrew Mellon became Hoover's Secretary of the Treasury and Dupont's primary investor. He appointed his future nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, to head the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.
Secret meetings were held by these financial tycoons. Hemp was declared dangerous and a threat to their billion dollar enterprises. For their dynasties to remain intact, hemp had to go. These men took an obscure Mexican slang word: 'marihuana' and pushed it into the consciousness of America.
MEDIA MANIPULATION
A media blitz of 'yellow journalism' raged in the late 1920s and 1930s. Hearst's newspapers ran stories emphasizing the horrors of marihuana. The menace of marihuana made headlines. Readers learned that it was responsible for everything from car accidents to loose morality.
Films like 'Reefer Madness' (1936), 'Marihuana: Assassin of Youth' (1935) and 'Marihuana: The Devil's Weed' (1936) were propaganda designed by these industrialists to create an enemy. Their purpose was to gain public support so that anti-marihuana laws could be passed.
Examine the following quotes from 'The Burning Question' aka REEFER MADNESS:
• a violent narcotic.
• acts of shocking violence.
• incurable insanity.
• soul-destroying effects.
• under the influence of the drug he killed his entire family with an ax.
• more vicious, more deadly even than these soul-destroying drugs (heroin, cocaine) is the menace of marihuana!
Reefer Madness did not end with the usual 'the end.' The film concluded with these words plastered on the screen: TELL YOUR CHILDREN.
In the 1930s, people were very naive; even to the point of ignorance. The masses were like sheep waiting to be led by the few in power. They did not challenge authority. If the news was in print or on the radio, they believed it had to be true. They told their children and their children grew up to be the parents of the baby-boomers.
On April 14, 1937, the Prohibitive Marihuana Tax Law or the bill that outlawed hemp was directly brought to the House Ways and Means Committee. This committee is the only one that can introduce a bill to the House floor without it being debated by other committees. The Chairman of the Ways and Means, Robert Doughton, was a Dupont supporter. He insured that the bill would pass Congress.
Dr. James Woodward, a physician and attorney, testified too late on behalf of the American Medical Association. He told the committee that the reason the AMA had not denounced the Marihuana Tax Law sooner was that the Association had just discovered that marihuana was hemp.
Few people, at the time, realized that the deadly menace they had been reading about on Hearst's front pages was in fact passive hemp. The AMA understood cannabis to be a MEDICINE found in numerous healing products sold over the last hundred years.
In September of 1937, hemp became illegal. The most useful crop known became a drug and our planet has been suffering ever since.
Congress banned hemp because it was said to be the most violence-causing drug known. Anslinger, head of the Drug Commission for 31 years, promoted the idea that marihuana made users act extremely violent. In the 1950s, under the Communist threat of McCarthyism, Anslinger now said the exact opposite. Marijuana will pacify you so much that soldiers would not want to fight.
Today, our planet is in desperate trouble. Earth is suffocating as large tracts of rain forests disappear. Pollution, poisons and chemicals are killing people. These great problems could be reversed if we industrialized hemp. Natural biomass could provide all of the planet's energy needs that are currently supplied by fossil fuels. We have consumed 80% of our oil and gas reserves. We need a renewable resource. Hemp could be the solution to soaring gas prices.
HEMP THE WONDER PLANT
Hemp has a higher quality fiber than wood fiber. Far fewer caustic chemicals are required to make paper from hemp than from trees. Hemp paper does not turn yellow and is very durable. The plant grows quickly to maturity in a season where trees take a lifetime.
ALL PLASTIC PRODUCTS SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP SEED OIL. Hempen plastics are biodegradable! Over time, they would break down and not harm the environment. Oil-based plastics, the ones we are very familiar with, help ruin nature; they do not break down and will do great harm in the future. The process to produce the vast array of natural (hempen) plastics will not ruin the rivers as Dupont and other petrochemical companies have done. Ecology does not fit in with the plans of the Oil Industry and the political machine. Hemp products are safe and natural.
MEDICINES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. We should go back to the days when the AMA supported cannabis cures. 'Medical Marijuana' is given out legally to only a handful of people while the rest of us are forced into a system that relies on chemicals. Pot is only healthy for the human body.
WORLD HUNGER COULD END. A large variety of food products can be generated from hemp. The seeds contain one of the highest sources of protein in nature. ALSO: They have two essential fatty acids that clean your body of cholesterol. These essential fatty acids are not found anywhere else in nature! Consuming pot seeds is the best thing you could do for your body. Eat uncooked hemp seeds.
CLOTHES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. Hemp clothing is extremely strong and durable over time. You could hand clothing, made from pot, down to your grandchildren. Today, there are American companies that make hemp clothing; usually 50% hemp. Hemp fabrics should be everywhere. Instead, they are almost underground. Superior hemp products are not allowed to advertise on fascist television. Kentucky, once the top hemp producing state, made it ILLEGAL TO WEAR hemp clothing! Can you imagine being thrown into jail for wearing quality jeans?
The liquor, tobacco and oil companies fund more than a million dollars a day to Partnership for a Drug-Free America and other similar agencies. We have all seen their commercials. Now, their motto is: ‘It's more dangerous than we thought.’ Lies from the powerful corporations, that began with Hearst, are still alive and well today.
…HEMP IS ILLEGAL BECAUSE BILLIONAIRES WANT TO REMAINE BILLIONAIRS!!
Why is this even here?
Global warming is accepted science. Ron Paul has publicly stated that he agrees that global warming is truth.
That global warming is largely of human origin is NOT controversial, neither need it be. The controversy is over what to DO about it.
There has NOT been conclusive evidence that mortality and morbidity will be significantly stemmed by even a radical departure from current business practices at this point.
Aligning Ron Paul's cause with creationistesque fringe scientific factions does NOT help anyone but our enemies.
RP on GW?
Can you refer to where/when RP said global science was a 'truth'?
B/C what i have heard him say in interviews is that there is no verdict yet that there are differing views- from both sides-and when asked about himself specifically,he said he tends to think it (GW) is 'overblown'-that was the word i remember him using.
As well,just b/c something is 'accepted science'-PLEASE!!!!!!
That is a hilarious statement. Look at everything that has been 'accepted science' fed through the media????????
Are we living in a bubble? apparently so.
Just as vaccines were introducted AFTER the natural disease cycles of these diseases were WANING,global warming has indeed been in progress for far longer than we have had cars and a petro chemical society.
That said,of course our activities are impacting GW. And polluting rivers,oceans,soil,etc,etc.
But,mark my words,NONE of those in power,advocating to 'fight global warming',has any intention of really doing that. They will absolultey,and are as we speak doing so,look for a way to create another economic stronghold out of this. Bamboo,hybrids,solar panels-yes,for those who have the money to buy in to the new green economy,that will be great.
Honestly,though,while I agree that this topic may be a non-issue for the campaign [maybe?],stating that something is an 'accepted science' is an oxymoron-and all we need to do is decide 'what to do about it?
Hmmmm....I don't think we are all in that camp.
Believe me,i'm a former life long democrat,semi-granola type-and i work in natural healing. Huge proponent of caring for the earth.
But one really needs to have perspective on how we are being manipulated daily.
jthen - think again
Right...... - just like in the 1970's it was considered "Science" that the earth was going to head into another ice age. Whatever.....
Saying that global warming is largely of human origin is pure propoganda
take away all the money we are force feeding these people, and their science will dry up faster than the Gobi desert.
Follow the money and you will find the truth.
It was accepted science until last year that Pluto was a planet - everybody here was taught that it was a planet, but now its accepted science that its not - science changes just like the cycles of the earth.
It was accepted science that cancer was caused by everything accept viruses - now its accepted science that cancer is caused by viruses.
Point here is that 10 years from now the accepted science will change, however history does not - you only need to look at history, soil samples, ice core samples to see that we have been much warmer and much colder through history - its a cycle
Rebuttal
-In the 1970s, climate science was nothing compared to what it is now, and scientists were fully aware of it. They made no predictions about the apparent cooling trend--only the media did.
-Pluto is now not considered a planet due to a change in definition, not due to any new understanding. Sure, scientists might change the definition of "warm" but that wouldn't really change anything about reality, would it?
-Cancer IS caused by just about everything (although to lesser and greater degrees). Anything that can cause DNA damage can cause cancer. Just because scientists hadn't discovered a specific viral cause until recently doesn't mean a damn thing.
-Yes, temperature does go through cycles, but most studies show an increase beyond what would be expected from the natural cycle. Just because the Earth is supposed to be getting qualitatively warmer, doesn't mean that the actual quantitative data can be explained away.
Sure, accepted science MIGHT change 10 years from now, but that doesn't tell you that it WILL nor in what direction. Global warming might well be a lot worse than everyone thinks, for example.
You're using the logical fallacies of a conspiracy theorist. Please just shut up and stop hurting Dr. Paul.
Really?
I do not agree with you that questioning standard scientific and media propagations is 'logical fallacies of the conspiracy theorist'. We have absolutely been lied to by our government on any number of issues. I am sure you agree to some extent,or you probably would not be an RP supporter. Why would we assume that science,medicine,education,the environment-any other issue is any different?
They do not have our best interests at heart. Or in mind. And there is much information to attest to this-yes,even 'scientific information. Too lengthy to explore in depth in this thread.
I don't think anyone saying GW is being used for manipulative purposes is 'hurting' RP. If anything,it is a healthy statement,supporting RP who is not polarized in his thinking and decision-making. Things are almost never black and white,yet science that is 'supported' by MSM and the gvmt is almost always black and white-have you noticed that?
I am talking about the science that gets supported,funded,politicized and/or propagated by the gvmt/MSM.
btw: cancer is truly 'caused' by mutation of cells,which is caused by lack of oxygenation in the cells-they ferment.
ie,this is why fake sugars are so evil-they are like formaldahyde for the body tissues-and this is why 'everything' causes cancer,to greater or lesser degrees. Again,though,just b/c 'western scientific rational models' have 'discovered something',does not make it so.
Your rebuttal re: scientists'adding to their theory with 'new information',is not particularly strong-it simply reinforces the same paradigm,which is yours to inhabit,but one cannot discard other paradigms and methods of looking at existence,systems,phenomena and situations.
Criteria for being a planet is actually a great example-it shows both how science is not infallible even within it's own context,and how it does indeed have it's own context-it's own 'definition'-in this case,of planet.
argh... hypocrite
"You're using the logical fallacies of a conspiracy theorist. Please just shut up and stop hurting Dr. Paul."
You're using the logical fallacies of a rabid lefty. Please just shut up and stop hurting Dr. Paul.
...or, let's just all bite our lips and leave off the name-calling and mud slinging. We aren't all going to agree on GW, and we have to work past that fact productively.

"You're using the logical
"You're using the logical fallacies of a rabid lefty."
Point them out, if you please.
"We aren't all going to agree on GW, and we have to work past that fact productively."
My point is that bringing it up on a Ron Paul site is harmful. It supports the widely held belief that all Ron Paul supporters are nutjobs.
I don't please, because...
...I agree with your first sentence here but not the second:
Yes, it's harmful, but not for the reason you give. There's another widely held belief: that Ron Paul supporters are lefties. Your posts in this thread reinforce *that* belief -- and if you don't understand why, talk to a few (other, not-busy-campaigning-for-RP) Republicans. So, everyone sees what they want to see based on their existing perspective, and nothing is resolved. Meantime, the primaries draw closer.
Bleah.
Hence, I agree with your first sentence; we should all just let this subject go -- for now -- and get back to the campaigning, which is what I'm now going to do.

rebutt the rebuttal
Jthen,
Yep just like in 10 years, environmental science will leap over the cave dwelling technology we have now.
Bottom line, we are going to have to do alot more global warming to catch
up to the same average temperature the planet had during the time of Rome.
Seems like humans and the environment came out of it just fine.
What are you scared of?
Also been on this site alot longer than you -
I am going to do door hangers for Ron Paul today - what are you doing besides sitting behind your keyboard making up stuff?

"Yep just like in 10 years,
"Yep just like in 10 years, environmental science will leap over the cave dwelling technology we have now."
And yet you claim to be able to predict what that science will find today? Are you even a scientist?
"we are going to have to do alot more global warming to catch
up to the same average temperature the planet had during the time of Rome."
What? Since when did the ancient Romans have thermometers? Besides which, it's not about the average temperature, it's about the upward trend.
"What are you scared of?"
Storms, mainly. They're the major result of unusual changes in temperature. Even if global warming wasn't manmade, we'd have to worry about this.
"Also been on this site alot longer than you"
I've been studying science a lot longer than you. Guess which is more important?
"I am going to do door hangers for Ron Paul today - what are you doing besides sitting behind your keyboard making up stuff?"
Spending time with my son. I've already canvassed the neighborhood three times over.
Good Stuff
Good stuff
too cool
C'mon people obviously the earth is in a warming cycle - this is not the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. We will also head into a ice age cycle after that - it will go back and forth - in between you will get mini ice-ages and mini hot-house ages. Do you really believe the earth will stay the same forever? Your fooling yourself its in a constant state of change - its a living planet.
http://www.sciencenews.or...
"If Earth was so prone to freezing in Neoproterozoic times, why haven't total ice ages engulfed the planet anytime since then? Hoffman's team suggests that several key factors have prevented this frigid fate.
The sun deserves some credit, having grown steadily stronger since the Neoproterozoic. Worms have also provided some defense since their appearance in the late Precambrian. As they churn through seafloor sediments, worms liberate carbon that would otherwise remain buried, keeping atmospheric carbon dioxide at comfortable concentrations."
Environmental issues are valid
Yes,of course,and at the same time,the environment the majority of us live in on this planet is disgusting! B/C of human activities.
What is so apparent is how we need to remember that we can hold multiple beliefs at the same time.
Global Warming might be a scam,but environmental pollution is not.
Of course,that does not mean we all need to stop doing such and such tomorrow,only if we want to.
It also does not mean that individual behavior is the major culprit in environmental pollution. But it does exist.
Convenient how Global Warming has now become interchangeable with any talk of 'environmental issues'.
My guess is that this was intended via propaganda. Keeps us distracted,divided and confused.
So,for anyone who espouses global warming theory: do not assume anyone who disagrees with it does not believe there are environmental issues to be addressed.
And,for anyone who adamantly opposes the concept of global warming as a scam [that'd be me],let's not assume that there are no environmental issues worthy of discussion.
Again,the whole polarization thing really belittles critical thinking on the matter.
But?
But what does it mean when the UN does this?
http://www.nytimes.com/20...
Does it mean that there's a real crisis? Or does it mean that they are exploiting a natural process to evoke fear, and hence more control?
you said it!!!!
Amen to that!
And yes,we need not be telling someone to 'shut up' b/c they are hurting RP.
I think that is for RP and his campaign to decide.
And I'm guessing that since they believe this is a 'free market election campaign',it's all good.
Besides,different viewpoints will reach different people.
