The positive outcome for all the snow being laid on the Beltway is NO CONGRESS in session. That’s a good thing. Could we keep D.C. snowed in for a few months by any chance?

Al Gore seems to be strangely absent.

It warms my heart to see the junk ’scientists’ of manmade Global Warming(AGW) finally getting some exposure to their hoaxes. Now, when will the IPCC and Al Gore return not only their Nobel Prize but also the money they were awarded. They should be prosecuted for the scams they have been perpetuating on the world and their accompanying propaganda. When will the schools stop indoctrinating students with their propaganda? When will the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) stop running their ridiculous ads soliciting donations for the demise of the polar bear? Yeah, don’t hold your breath. There’s too much money to be made by these ‘Big Non Profit’ scammers.

Here’s his handy Recap of the IPCC scandals (attributed to Aussie blogger Jo Nova):

The Four ‘Gates’ of the IPCC

Let’s see. There’s

1. Climate Gate, showing that the peer review process has descended into a criminal farce of scientific malpractice …
2. PachuriGate, showing that the man in charge of the IPCC was chairman of boards of companies that profit handsomely as the scare-factor is ramped up…
3. GlacierGate, about the IPCC “accidentally” using a World Wildlife Fund report instead of peer reviewed science… And now…
4. AmazonGate, The IPCC fabricates disastrous claims about the Amazon forest, and references a document written by activists that doesn’t even support the claim.

Adding insult to injury, not only is that Amazon paper not peer-reviewed, its authors are a PhD forester and fire management expert (not a climatologist), and a journalist. The paper they co-wrote was for the WWF in conjunction with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.

This is just too funny. Here’s the Sweden, supposedly the country of all things politically correct, using the carcasses of rabbits for heat this winter.

The creatures are being harvested from parks in Stockholm, shot dead, deep frozen and shipped to a plant in central Sweden where they are burned and used to heat homes.

Some 6,000 rabbits were killed last year for biofuel and 3,000 have so far been culled this year, Stockholm-based newspaper The Local reported.

Frozen Gore

Fairbanks, AK- In an ongoing effort to attract Former Vice President Al Gore to come to Fairbanks and debate his man-made global warming theories, a unique interactive ice sculpture will be unveiled Tuesday, January 5th in downtown Fairbanks.

The new sculpture, a 6′ tall, 4,000 lb, likeness of Mr. Gore will be uncovered at the corner of Airport Road and Cushman Street next to Thrifty Liquor. This year the carving features an audio dub of Mr. Gore’s Dec. 2009 Copenhagen speech suggesting the entire Polar Ice cap will likely disappear in the next 5 to 7 years, and urging us to upgrade our light bulbs.

As the audio is played, hot air will be emitted from the mouth of the statue, signifying the dangers to the environment of all types of man-made emissions. The source of the hot air will be the Ford F-350 flatbed truck on which the sculpture sits, with a 2” hose from the tailpipe of the vehicle, through a hole bored in the back of the head of the carving, and pumped out through the mouth of the statue. Local businessmen Craig Compeau and Rudy Gavora commissioned the frozen artwork, by world class sculptor Steve Dean.
“We’re not giving up easy”, Compeau told onlookers as the statue was receiving its final touches Sunday evening. “We invited Mr. Gore to Fairbanks last January (one of the coldest in decades) to debate his planet-melting theories. His people responded via email, that although Mr. Gore would love to attend, there was a scheduling conflict.” Compeau was confused by the response since he had not suggested any specific date or time.

Locals are welcome to stop by and get their photos taken with the artwork at any time of day, although the frigid temperature may keep them away, or cause cameras to freeze up. Temperatures in Interior Alaska have recently fallen to the -30 to -40F range.

In conjunction with the release of the new statue, Compeau has incorporated a “Local Warming” contest that will raise money to provide warm winter clothing for homeless Fairbanks residents. The contest asks participants to estimate how many hours the Ford F-350 would have to run (at idle) to equal the carbon output of a round-trip visit from Tennessee to Copenhagen aboard a Lear jet. The winner will receive a warm Ski-doo winter jacket, long underwear, thermal socks, and an Al Gore Bobblehead doll.

Yes, last week proves once again the fraudulent claims of the global warming alarmists. Hackers dumped a bunch of info from a key UK global warming advocacy university (Univ of East Anglia Climate Research). Stories of dummied up temperature numbers, blocking of any research refuting their claims, ignoring the decrease in temperatures, deleting of data they don’t like since it doesn’t fit their agenda and just plain hiding data.

Will this stop any of the morons from believing in ‘climate change’ or global warming? Never. Just like government run healthcare, this is all about power, control and money. The truth will not set you free. Especially when the US has weak minded Representatives and Senators who give credence to global warming. Yes, I’m talking to you Sen. John McCain, Sen. Lindsey Graham, Gov Tim Pawlenty, Sen. Bob Corker, Sen Lamar Alexander, former Speaker Newt Gingrich and the list goes on.

From Ed Morrisissey at Hot Air – Do hacked e-mails show global-warming fraud?

One of the most damning e-mails published comes from Dr. Jones himself. In an e-mail from almost exactly ten years ago, Jones appears to discuss a method of overlaying data of temperature declines with repetitive, false data of higher temperatures:

snip….Andrew Bolt points to a couple of other suspicious entries in the database as well for the Herald-Sun. For instance, here we have scientists discussing how to delete inconvenient data in order to emphasize other data that supports their conclusions:

snip….Hmmm. Sounds like “hid[ing] the data” once again. And here we have them privately admitting that they can’t find the global warming that they’ve been predicting:

Redstate also has The Great Global Warming Fraud.. There are some of the same people who are global warming alarmists who were ice age alarmists back in the 1970’s, just think they are still making money off of fraudulent climate scams yet call themselves ’scientists’ and ‘researchers’ at prominent universities. Just shows you the idiots in those ivory towers of supposed education.

This is the audio response to the indoctrination of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF-wildy leftwing environMENTALists) of their children.

Rush plays the WWF fund propaganda ads and at about the 3:10 mark the ‘Children of the EIB’ respond:

I heard about this on Rush today and he had the link in daily email blast. If you think this couldn’t happen here then you’re living in LaLa Land and maybe should move to the land of fruits and nuts. Cap and Trade here we come!

Staff in carbon footprint trial face £100 fines for high emissions

Britain’s first employee carbon rationing scheme is about to be extended, after the trial demonstrated the effectiveness of fining people for exceeding their personal emissions target. Unlike the energy-saving schemes adopted by thousands of companies, the rationing scheme monitors employees’ personal emissions, including home energy bills, petrol purchases and holiday flights.

snip…Those who exceed their ration pay a fine for every kilogram they emit over the limit. The money is deducted from their pay and the level of the fine is printed on payslips. Those who consume less than their ration are rewarded at the same rate per kilogram.

The maximum that an employee can earn or be fined has been capped at £100, but is likely to rise once staff have grown accustomed to the idea.

The maximum that an employee can earn or be fined has been capped at £100, but is likely to rise once staff have grown accustomed to the idea.

WSP, the global engineering consultancy, has been conducting the rationing scheme among 80 of its British employees for almost two years. In the first year the overall carbon footprint of participants fell by 10 per cent. The company is discussing its scheme with several FTSE 100 companies.

Three quarters of the employees were rewarded and a quarter, including Stuart McLachlan, the managing director, were fined. Mr McLachlan tried to cut his carbon footprint by buying a bike and cycling 12 miles to work from Richmond, Surrey, to Chancery Lane, in Central London. He also installed energy-saving lightbulbs, but he still exceeded his ration — and was fined £100 — because he flew to his holiday home in South Africa.

It’s all about control, power and MONEY! Has nothing to do with science but has everything to do with junk science.

Cap and Trade, Waxman Markey, junk science, carbon quotas, carbon rationing, Obama

Get yourself to the Hill to show your response to Rep Bart Gordon and Rep Jim Cooper for voting to double your energy and gas costs with a yes vote for H.R. 2454, Waxman-Markey Cap and Trade Bill. This bill is a horrendous power grab for centralized government along with killing the energy sector all in the name of junk science. Along with that, it establishes Federal building codes using California building codes as the guideline. If you’re a city, town, village, township you will have to hire a fulltime inspector who has been licensed by the Federal government.

There’s 1300 pages of energy and job killing legislation with this bill. No Representative who voted for this bill read the bill! They couldn’t have since the final bill was released at 3am the day of the vote last Friday.

If that isn’t bad enough there’s more power grabs about to happen by the Democrats if you don’t wake up and pay attention.

To the groans and growing rage of millions of Americans, the Waxman-Markey Cap and Trade legislation crawled over the finish line in the House on Friday evening by a vote of 219-212. Manning the water stations at various checkpoints was a handful of Republican turncoats who kept the bill hydrated enough to achieve its narrow victory.

Mary Bono Mack, R-California
Mike Castle, R-Delaware
Mark Kirk, R-Illinois
John McHugh, R-Nevada
Frank LoBiondo, R-New Jersey
Leonard Lance, R-New Jersey
Chris Smith, R-New Jersey
Dave Reichert, R-Washington

Had only four of these equivocators voted as they were called upon by their constituents to do, the vote would have been 216-215 and the bill would have been defeated. Two other Republicans didn’t even bother to show up for the vote. Jeff Flake, R-Arizona was absent because his daughter is in a beauty pageant today (a “family conflict” he says), and John Sullivan, R-Oklahoma, is in rehab for alcohol addiction. Interestingly, Patrick Kennedy, D-Rhode Island, was able to tear himself away from rehab to cast his yea vote.

Once again, Republicans, libertarians and conservatives, and anyone else who sees through the Cap and Trade shell game, were betrayed by a handful of Republican sellouts who no doubt will be amply rewarded by their environmental pinhead counterparts in Congress for selling out their own country.

Following her narrow win, Speaker Pelosi made this acid-laced and arrogant public statement: “For some it was a very difficult vote because the entrenched agents of the status quo were out there full force, jamming the lines in their districts and here, and they withstood that.” I assume that by “the entrenched agents of the status quo” she meant the millions and millions of Americans who voiced their opposition to the legislation.

There is a silver lining, however. Thanks to those Americans who are finally paying attention and taking a stand, this win is tiny, it is fragile. It means we double our efforts to defeat Waxman-Markey Cap and Trade legislation in the Senate. “The entrenched agents of the status quo” are coming for a visit and we’re bringing this message:

For all you capitulators warming seats on the Republican sides of the House and the Senate both at the state and federal level – while you distract yourselves castigating and castrating the Republican base for being “too conservative,” we’re moving through our country with one goal: to make you as irrelevant on the ballot as the Democrats have made you in the legislatures.

All in the name of the scam called ‘Global Warming’, the U.S. is going to give aid so China (which is considered a developing country) to reduce their carbon emissions. The Chinese have got to be having a huge laugh at us idiot Westerners.

State Department Says China to Get U.S. Aid under New Climate Deal

U.S. Special Envoy for Climate Change Todd Stern said that there was “no question� that China would receive both financial and technological assistance from the United States as part of upcoming climate change talks to be conducted in Copenhagen, Denmark.

“This is a developing country issue, which includes China,� Stern told reporters on Friday. “I think there is no question that a Copenhagen agreement is going to have to include mechanisms to provide the financial flows and technological assistance to developing countries.�

There is no end to the insanity. The US is deeply in debt to China yet we are going to give aid to China.
