Left-wing global warming alarmist does what the green-mongers wish a majority of us would do. He executes his entire family then kills himself to “save the planet.”

And it’s still stealing. As a recent … Read more

Climate Report: “It contains no new research, but it paints a fuller and darker picture of global warming…”
Once again, it’s Bike Week here in Central New Hampshire, and like always, it’s all eyes on the weather. While some reports focus on the economy and its effect on this, the 86th annual occurrence of the world renowned event, make no mistake about it—the weather is what makes or breaks the week.
As I headed off to work Wednesday morning, the thermometer in the truck said it was 46 degrees outside and, a rare happening as of late—it wasn’t raining. Yes indeed, it’s Bike Week and, as those of us that have been here for any length of time, it ALWAYS deluges at least once during the event (on a good year) and, honest to goodness summer never really starts till the thing is over. This year is really no exception, except that is does seem cooler than some years past.
Enter Barack Obama, ready to rain on the already rained on parade. On the same day I noted 46 degrees, I also read about the Obama Administration’s newly released report regarding global warming… I mean, “climate change.” According to the AP story,
“Rising sea levels, sweltering temperatures, deeper droughts, and heavier downpours — global warming’s serious effects are already here and getting worse, the Obama administration warned on Tuesday in the grimmest, most urgent language on climate change ever to come out of any White House.”
Once again, we are being asked, en masse, to suspend disbelief and firsthand observation and facts in order to get with the program of drastic change prescribed as the fix.
And while the situation gets seemingly worse, nothing has really changed fact-wise since the Bush Administration issued its version of the report.
“The document, a climate status report required periodically by Congress, was a collaboration by about three dozen academic, government and institute scientists. It contains no new research, but it paints a fuller and darker picture of global warming in the United States than previous studies.”
Al Gore: Fine for thee, but not for me…
Back in February of ’07, we posted a piece reporting that the AlGore mansion in Nashville consumed over twenty times the electricity of the average American household– using in a month more than most homes use in a whole year. The original author of the report, which appeared on Drudge at the time, Drew Johnson … Read more
Jeanne Shaheen: DO as I say, not as I do…
.
On her campaign website, Jeanne Shaheen puts forth, in a style quite similar to that of one of her ideological comrades, Chicken Little, dire warnings of the consequences of not addressing global warming immediately. Says Jeanne,
"A new energy policy is an environmental, national security and economic imperative, and there is no time to waste.”
Got that? She says THERE IS NO TIME TO WASTE. You can almost feel the panic laid before visitors to the website:
Reversing global warming is an economic, environmental and health imperative for New Hampshire. If we don’t act to reverse global warming, New Hampshire’s snow season is projected to shrink by almost 50 percent by mid-century, severely impacting our skiing and snowmobile industries. Increasing temperatures also will negatively impact fall foliage tourism, the hunting and fishing industries, and maple sugar production. Our small but precious coastline faces substantial increases in the extent and frequency of coastal flooding, erosion, and property damage. Global warming worsens air quality, putting more stress on people with heart conditions and respiratory conditions, like asthma, and New Hampshire already has one of the highest rates of childhood asthma in the country.
Bad stuff, eh? She then spews the usual blather one expects from politicians choosing this route to scare voters into casting their vote for them, rather than the opponent that "obviously" works against the planet:
Jeanne Shaheen believes it’s long past time that Washington take action. Jeanne Shaheen supports the goal of cutting carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2050…
So you’d imagine someone so committed to such drastic measures would be leading the way in all regards, right? Come on, it’s JEANNE SHAHEEN we’re talking about, here. You know about politicians of her ilk: "fine for thee, but not for me…" In the same vein as her famous canoe trip with Al Gore– you remember, the one where the river dams were opened during a drought while she was the governor so that she and AlGore could have their picture taken in a canoe— comes the latest, provided by regular ‘Grok reader Peter G:

Tick. Tick. Tick. Is the clock running out on the latest silly craze?

.
Like hoola hoops, mood rings, Farrah Fawcett and disco, every notable fad enjoys its halcyon days before it all comes to an end. You know the drill– one day, everybody is on the bandwagon– all but the losers, of course– and then it’s over, with many looking back scratching their heads wondering what the fuss was really all about.
More and more, it’s turning out that the global warming hysteria that has gripped the world for the last decade or so will join the above noted curiosities that appeared on the scene with much fanfare. And holding true to the pattern, following its demise, many people will undoubtedly deny ever having participated in such silliness…
From The Australian:
Duffy: "Can you tell us about NASA’s Aqua satellite, because I understand some of the data we’re now getting is quite important in our understanding of how climate works?"
So, this is what happens when we “fix” global warming?

Global warming. Fixing it’s as easy as… well, raising taxes.

More inconvenient truths for the global-warming crowd
I don’t know if it’s just me, but it sure seems like more and more scientists and weather & climate types are taking a more vocal, prolific stand against the notion that man’s activities are the primary cause of global warming.

Bush on energy and how the Dems will help. Sure they will.
In his radio address this week, President Bush speaks about energy. It all sounds good, but I can’t help but think that all of the planning that’s aimed at curbing consumption of oil and its refined products is ultimately going to consume greater amounts of my shrinking take-home earnings. My apologies for sounding so cynical about this, but I think you’ll agree with my assesment. Read on…
THE PRESIDENT: Good morning..Last Saturday, I addressed the annual retreat of Democrats from the House of Representatives. I thanked the Members of the new majority for their service in Congress. And we discussed our responsibility to work together on a wide range of issues — from fighting the global war on terror, to making health care more affordable, to balancing the Federal budget.
Of course, the Dems want to surrender instead of trying to win the war, nationalize 1/6 of the US economy, and "balance" the federal budget by raising taxes on "the rich", AKA anybody with a job. Other than that, though, I’m sure they’ll "work together" with President Bush to make things right. He continues:
One area with great potential for bipartisan cooperation is energy policy. The need for action is clear. Our Nation’s reliance on oil leaves us vulnerable to hostile regimes and terrorists, who could damage our economy by disrupting the global oil supply. A spike in oil prices anywhere in the world could lead to higher prices at gas pumps here in America. And burning oil and gasoline creates air pollution and greenhouse gases.
Which may or may not be a bad thing, depending on whose scientific "evidence" one believes. I agree with being vulnerable by relying so heavily on oil that comes from bad places. That’s why, even though we don’t like it, we have to "fix" the bad places. Oh, and we should just drill for more oil in our own backyard, like in ANWR and offshore.
Republicans and Democrats both recognize these problems. We agree on the solution: We need to diversify our energy supply and make America less dependent on foreign oil. The best way to do that is by developing new energy technologies here at home. So the Federal government has provided more than $10 billion over five years for research into alternative sources of energy. Our scientists and engineers have made great progress, and our Nation is now on the threshold of dramatic breakthroughs in clean energy technology.
I’m not sure we "agree on the solution", as I’m pretty sure the Dems would have us riding bicycles or driving lawnmower-like cars (other than your Algore types who are just too darned important) while at the same time banning windmills and tearing down dams to save the fishes.
