Fear IS The Factor

Which is the whole point behind Global Warming.

Hey folks,

First, a quick update. Yes I have severe Bronchitis again. Just came from the Doctors Yesterday for a follow up and not getting better. Shot in the Arm, and the Bottom, an Inhaler, and a new set of Meds. If this round, Round two, doesn't knock it out, I may have to see Hospital Help. Thank you for all the Warm Thoughts, well wishes, and Prayers. They really mean a lot. Been my experience that a Hospital is no place to get better, so I'm working hard at showing signs of improvement by Wednesday this Week. Thank you to all my Facebook Friends as well.

I'll tell ya one thing, being sick DOES afford me some time to catch up on Emails, catch up with some of you, Surf and Scan the News, and take some real time to see what is happening in the World. I also have some extra time to catch up on some TV. Not sleeping at night, you find some pretty interesting stuff.

One of the things I watched yesterday was Conspiracy TheoryW/ Jesse Ventura: Global Warming Now you all know Jesse Ventura. Some of you from the old WWF days. Some of you from him being the Governor of Minnesota. Some of you from the ill fated XFL. But you all know him. He is a FRIEND of Al Gore. He was a BELIEVER in Man-Made Global Warming. So for him to take this on was interesting to me. Now it was done back in 2009. Even the more reason to watch it today. All the information we have now? It really helps to put things in prospective. What did he find? It's a SCAM. It's all about Power, Control, and Money. Where have you heard that before?

Fear IS the factor. FEAR is the whole point behind Global Warming. Remember the Psychology of Brain Washing you into thinking "Green"

There's little research on how to lower people's energy use, but early evidence suggests that many people will change if:

• They think others similar to themselves are jumping on the "green" bandwagon.

• They get frequent positive feedback for effort.

• They feel able to make a difference by taking concrete steps.

• They think their children will be harmed by global warming, or children encourage the family to lead a greener life. {AKA Polar Bears}

They are telling you what they are doing.

This is the very definition of Scaryence. Scare Science. "Don't forget, if all else fails, the KIDS. Bring up the kids."

As the Documentary Conspiracy TheoryW/ Jesse Ventura: Global Warming pointed out, since those getting fleeced get nothing from it, convince them they are saving the Planet. But as they pointed out as well, is the same thing I have been telling you for years. It's all about Power, Control, every aspect of your Private Lives, to of course, all that Money.

So now, in 2011, with more and more Scientists, including some of Al Gore's own, coming out and saying that it's a Hoax, A SCAM, and with all the evidence of them cooking the Books, more and more people are just not buying it. But this is not stopping them from using the Fear Factor. From attempting to turn it into a Religion This way they can tell you how Evil you are and how they must protect the Planet From YOU. So this, they feel, gives them cart blanch authority to attack those that are not following their agenda, and rewarding those who are. Hence Obama's de facto Moratorium, delaying the Keystone Pipeline, bankrupting the Coal Industry. ETC.

So a friend of mine sent this in to me. It's by Kevin Moody. Published: Thursday, December 08, 2011, 5:05 AM over at PennLive.com - Fear factors shouldn't direct our nation's energy policies

Pennsylvania is fortunate to be in the center of a challenging debate over energy, with coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear and renewable sources such as wind power all having a “home” here. The Marcellus Shale has put that much more of a spotlight on the state, and its early production rate shows a long-term and huge potential for natural gas from this formation.

While all this activity is happening here, we also should look at the broader concern: that our nation’s energy policy sorely needs to move in a new direction. Reliable, affordable energy supplies are essential to a viable economy. New jobs are created when energy resources are explored and developed. Other benefits accrue to communities. Given the state of the nation, one would think that lawmakers, regulators and leaders in Washington would get it.

The Numbers do not lie. Hundreds of Thousands of new Jobs, Billions in NEW Revenue to States and Federal Government Streams, lower Energy Costs for all.

Instead, in the last three years, the Obama administration has done its best to block the development of new domestic oil and natural gas supplies. It has refused to allow drilling along the East Coast and on other energy-rich federal lands.

Now, to make energy matters worse, the president has delayed until after the 2012 elections a decision on allowing construction of the Keystone XL pipeline between Canada and the U.S., threatening the creation of about 20,000 jobs and preventing the flow of an additional 830,000 barrels of Canadian oil to U.S. refineries on the Gulf Coast. The delay has prompted Canadian officials to step up efforts to sell oil to other energy-hungry customers, including China.

Which even some on Obama's own side say is COMPLETELY POLITICAL and unnecessary.

Although the president’s anti-oil and natural gas actions might sound fine to his political base prior to 2012, they put the nation’s economic and energy health at risk. By limiting domestic energy production, America will not experience the economic boost, jobs and tax revenues offered by increased domestic oil and natural gas production.

These considerations, however, are not the focus of today’s energy policy debate. They have been supplanted by a campaign of fear of air pollution, fear of water contamination, fear of health effects and other often unsubstantiated worries that have been become part and parcel of the energy conversation

AKA Global Warming. Uh, We're not warming... Uh, Climate Change. Yeah. That's it.

The fears are fed by the scare tactics that have become a staple in political and public interest campaigns. Even the president has used fear as a means to avoid making tough decisions that could improve U.S. energy security. His statement explaining the Keystone pipeline delay cited concerns over “the health and safety of the American people as well as the environment,” even though the $13 billion pipeline project has been studied for three years and cleared by two environmental impact statements.

Yet? Wind Farms? Kill the Damn Birds.

Similarly, anti-drilling groups use fear-mongering as a weapon against hydraulic fracturing in Pennsylvania. They assert that hydraulic fracturing will poison our drinking water and harm human health. In one recent demonstration, protesters donned cow costumes and claimed that the fracturing process would poison milk supplies at schools.

As long as unfounded and irrational fears overshadow the facts, elected officials will find it difficult to make sound energy policy decisions. They know that misled and frightened voters aren’t going to focus on the benefits of oil and natural gas production, even when it helps their unemployed neighbors find jobs.

According to the state Department of Labor and Industry, an estimated 214,000 Marcellus Shale-related jobs have been created in the commonwealth since 2008. Elected officials seem to find it expedient to throw taxpayer money at so-called green energy companies even if the projects aren’t commercially viable. There’s no doubt that the fears ginned up against traditional fuels paved the way for the administration’s $535 billion investment in Solyndra.

There are times when fear is a positive force. It reminds us to buckle our seat belts, blow out candles to prevent fires and teach our children to look both ways before crossing the street. But it should not be used as the basis for key policy decisions that could frame our economic and energy future.

Just like many other things we have talked about here, Kevin, oh, by the way, Kevin Moody is Vice President and General Counsel for the Pennsylvania Independent Oil & Gas Association. So another guy that KNOWS what he is talking about. Not some "Government Expert" but someone in the Business, that KNOWS the Business. But just like the many things that we have talked about over the years, FEAR is a powerful tool for those who know how to use it. But Fear is NOT what we need. What we need are REAL Solutions to the REAL Problems that we face. The answer is not hard to understand. It's right in front of our Faces. Fear not, that which is not real.

DLA For Sunday 091811

Just another in a LONG line of Scientist.

Hey folks,

Did you catch this? I think Rush had it on his show Friday. Well, a blurb or so. But this is not insignificant. This is also NOT rare. This guy is just another in a LONG line of Scientist that are coming right out and telling you that Global Warming is nothing more than a Scam and not REAL.

All we keep hearing from the Liberals, which couldn't be further from the Truth, that 98 percent of Scientists agree on Global Warming and the fact that it is Man-Made. But the TRUTH is, MOST do NOT agree. More and more come out every day denouncing it. Just a couple of examples are William M. Gray, Professor Emeritus and Head of The Tropical Meteorology Project, Department of Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University who said this.

"This warming trend is not going to keep on going. My belief is that three, four years from now, the globe will start to cool again, as it did from the middle '40s to the middle '70s."

In fact, we are NOW in a Cooling Cycle. Another? William Happer, physicist specializing in optics and spectroscopy, Princeton University.

“All the evidence I see is that the current warming of the climate is just like past warmings. In fact, it’s not as much as past warmings yet, and it probably has little to do with carbon dioxide, just like past warmings had little to do with carbon dioxide,”

CO2 is NOT a Pollutant. It is Natural and NEEDED. It does not cause our Planet to heat to a big ball of fire. More Scientist? Freeman Dyson, Richard Lindzen, Don Easterbrook, Willie Soon {Who calls it nothing more than Cycles}, Philip Stott, Henrik Svensmark {Who says Warming has something to do with the Sun? Imagine that}, Syun-Ichi Akasofu, Sherwood Idso, Patrick Michaels, Reid Bryson {Who calls Man-made Global Warming Absurd}, Prominent Physicist Hal Lewis who said this.

"Climategate was a fraud on a scale I have never seen...Effect on APS position: None. None at all. This is not science"

Lets not forget John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, who said this.

And, I am totally convinced there is no scientific basis for any of it.

Global Warming. It is the hoax. It is bad science. It is a high jacking of public policy. It is no joke. It is the greatest scam in history.

These are not kooks. They are not your average Joe. This is just a REALLY minute list of just a FEW Scientist that are not part of that, uh, 98 percent? Then we have this. Exclusive: Nobel Prize-Winning Physicist Who Endorsed Obama Dissents! Resigns from American Physical Society Over Group's Promotion of Man-Made Global Warming From the Climate Depot Nobel Laureate Dr. Ivar Giaever: 'The temperature (of the Earth) has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this 'warming' period.'

Nobel prize winner for physics in 1973 Dr. Ivar Giaever resigned as a Fellow from the American Physical Society (APS) on September 13, 2011 in disgust over the group's promotion of man-made global warming fears. Climate Depot has obtained the exclusive email Giaever sent titled "I resign from APS" to APS Executive Officer Kate Kirby to announce his formal resignation.

Dr. Giaever wrote to Kirby of APS: “Thank you for your letter inquiring about my membership. I did not renew it because I cannot live with the (APS) statement below (on global warming): APS: 'The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth's physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now.'

"In the APS it is OK to discuss whether the mass of the proton changes over time and how a multi-universe behaves, but the evidence of global warming is incontrovertible? The claim (how can you measure the average temperature of the whole earth for a whole year?) is that the temperature has changed from ~288.0 to ~288.8 degree Kelvin in about 150 years, which (if true) means to me is that the temperature has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this 'warming' period."

So this is another, a Nobel Prize Winner, Scientist, who says ENOUGH with this SCAM! It's all made up. It's all about Power, Control, and of course, all that MONEY! Climate Depot even has a List of 1000 Scientists that denounce Global Warming.

Giaever also told the New York Times in 2010 that global warming “can't be discussed -- just like religion...there is NO unusual rise in the ocean level, so what where and what is the big problem?”

Congratulations Dr. Ivar Giaever. For standing on your Principles, and the courage to stand up and TELL the TRUTH in the face of pressure to continue to further propagate the Lie that Man-made Global Warming is going to kill us all unless we TOTALLY give up our Freedom and fiances to the Government, you are the Winner of the Display of Logic Award for today, Sunday, September 18th, 2011. THANK YOU Doctor.

Snow in Rome?

Snow EVERYWHERE.

Hey folks,

I was just going to mention this is passing during the Sunday Preview, but then I started seeing that it is not just Rome, it's snow EVERYWHERE, even right here in Sunny Florida. And what are we told by the Chicken Little Crowd? "Oh, we are having all this snow BECAUSE of Global Warming. {Sigh}

First we are told No Snow = Global Warming. All during pretty light season, Global WARMING!!! Proof!! You see?

Sen Byrd in 2002? "We need a climate change strategy badly. Look at the kind of winter we've had here in Washington. One snow, three inches? I don't need a scientist to tell me that. We had better do something about it."

Sen. Feinstien in 2005? "The Sierra Nevada snow pack is the largest source of water. The snow pack equals about half the storage capacity of all of California's man-made reservoirs. By the end of the century, the shrinking of the snow pack will eliminate the water source for 16 million people."

Sen. Boxer in 2007? "The most optimistic climate models for the second half of this century suggest that 30 to 70% of the snow pack will disappear. Now, no wonder we have people visiting our offices who are just already hurting from the recreation industry in this nation. They see what's happening. They see the handwriting on the wall. We have to act."

She also said this. "The potential consequences will be devastating for our families in the future and for the world. Now we're seeing the early warning signs. People can come down to this floor and say whatever they want. We've seen melting of snow, we have seen melting of permafrost, increased temperatures, warming of lakes, rivers, oceans, changes in the seasons."

Then in 2009, Boxer said this. "Looking at the United States of America, the IPCC clearly warned that unchecked global warming will lead to reduced snow pack in the western mountains, critically reducing access to water, which is our lifeblood."

So all this "The Sky is falling" and the melting Snow is inarguable proof that Global Warming exists, we going into 2010 winter season. RECORD SNOWFALL All over the place. There is SNOW in EVERY State in our Union. There is Snow in Rome. According to Reuters - Rare snowfall in Rome as cold snap grips Italy

ROME (Reuters) – Tourists took rare pictures of snow falling on the Colosseum and the Trevi fountain on Friday, and the Pope reportedly appeared at a Vatican window to watch Rome's heaviest snowfall in nearly a quarter century.

In scenes usually only glimpsed in souvenir "snow domes" Italy's capital was blanketed in white, snarling road and air traffic but delighting many Romans who rode scooters with their feet on the ground and snapped pictures with mobile phones.

Rome was last dusted in snow in 2005, but one meteorologist said the steady snowfall through Friday morning was the heaviest seen in the Italian capital in 24 years.

According to News On 6 - OU Student Collecting Pictures of Snow in All 50 States

NORMAN, Oklahoma -- A University of Oklahoma student is taking an extra interest in this week's snow storms in the south and northeast and is working to document the events in a very unique way.

Patrick Marsh said it's likely by the end of the week snow will be on the ground in all 50 states.

From Ardmore all the way to Dallas and even in Louisiana, the south is snowed in. For many, it's a winter wonderland in places that rarely see such weather. But none of it comes close to the mess up north where two blizzards have blown through in a week.

We just got some snow up in Northern Sunny Florida. Snowing all over the place. So this PROVES Global Warming is Bunk, right? WRONG. All this snow is CAUSED by Global Warming. {Laughing} I know it's just completely idiotic. But the WHOLE thing is idiotic. So how is this? Well, the SCAMMERS say that higher temperatures causes more water evaporation, which increases the chances of heavy precipitation events, such as floods and snowstorms. Of course the IPCC is chiming in, even though NOTHING they say can be believed. Globally, precipitation has increased in regions over 30 degrees north according to the Inventive Panel on Coning Chumps, uh AKA, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, but has been declining in tropical regions since the 70s.

OK. I guess it's settled. No snow, Global Warming. Record Snow, Global Warming. No storms, Global Warming. Increased storms, Global Warming. Rain fall? Global Warming. Dry seasons? Global Warming. The Temperatures getting cooler? Global Warming, Global Warming, Global Warming! Just except it already Damn it! {Sigh}

No thank you.

Snowmageddon, Global Warming, Reuters

WASHINGTON – Life in the nation's capital ground to a halt Friday as steady snow fell, the beginning of a storm that forecasters said could be the biggest in modern history.

{Laughing} Hey folks,

Welcome to the Big Sunday Edition of the OPNTalk Blog. Glad you made a little time to spend with us today. Remember, you can also follow us on Twitter - peteropntalk, Facebook - Peter Carlock, and as always, the Email is opntalk@gmail.com.

Thats right folks, That was the headline Friday Night. According to the AP - Mid-Atlantic shuts down ahead of huge snow warning By NAFEESA SYEED, Associated Press Writer Nafeesa Syeed, Associated Press Writer

A record 2 1/2 feet or more was predicted for Washington, where snow was falling heavily by evening, with big amounts expected elsewhere throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Authorities already were blaming the storm for hundreds of accidents and the deaths of father-son Samaritans in Virginia.

The region's second snowstorm in less than two months could be "extremely dangerous," the National Weather Service said. Heavy, wet snow and strong winds threatened to knock out power, clog roads and paralyze the region's transportation and retail.

Airlines canceled flights, schools closed and the federal government sent workers home, where they could be stuck for several days in a region ill-equipped to deal with so much snow. Some area hospitals asked people with four-wheel-drive vehicles to volunteer to pick up doctors and nurses to take them to work.

The National Zoo closed at noon and the Smithsonian museums were to close Saturday, as they did during a major storm in December. U.S. Park Police spokesman Sgt. David Schlosser said the Lincoln Memorial and other monuments in Washington would remain open as long as conditions allowed.

At Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, most flights had been canceled by early Friday afternoon. In the virtually empty Southwest terminal, someone announced Flight 677 to Denver — "our last flight till Sunday morning to the West Coast."

Thank God For Global Warming. {Smile} So was it the biggest Snow fall in history? Not quite yet. Right now nearly 2 feet of snow Saturday in one of the worst blizzards in the city's history. The nearly 18 inches recorded at Reagan National Airport was the fourth-highest storm total for the city. At nearby Dulles International Airport, the record was shattered with 32 inches.

I bring this up because we are going to spend a lot of time on GWBS today. I was going to talk a bit about it on Tuesday, during the From the Energy Front Segment, and how it relates to Cap and Tax, but I was not here. So, I put it on my desk for Wednesday. Then Wednesday came and more stuff starting coming in about Global Warming, Made-made Climate Change, whatever. Thursday? Friday? The stack just keeps getting bigger. So today, we are going to spend a lot of time on this. It really has just become silly. It really is just silly to attempt to have an intellectual debate about GWBS. The IPCC has become a real life Saturday Night Live Skit. More on all this in a few minutes. Coming right up today?

All that coming right up. However, I do have to ask the question. What happened to Reuters? I'm actually being serious here. I use to love Reuters. I never would have thought that they could be bought out, or strong armed by this or any other Administration. Yet, TWICE in three days I find that they first print a really good story, then they change it or retract it. Why? The only reason I can see is that they were critical of Obama and this Administration.

Remember OPNTalk - Three Times, Same Article, Different Perception That was all about the Economy. BG sent it in to me via the Emails and said this.

BG - Paragraph 1: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The economy grew at a faster-than-expected 5.7 percent pace in the fourth quarter, the quickest in more than six years, as businesses made less-aggressive cuts to inventories and stepped up spending.

Paragraph 11: For the whole of 2009, the economy contracted 2.4 percent, the biggest decline since 1946, the first year after the end of World War II.

Unbelievable, how the sycophants lie for their messiah.

Turns out it was the first of three different versions that Reuters kept reposting to make it sound better than it was. Well folks, they have gone and did it again. This time it was this. Reuters - Advisory: Backdoor taxes to hit middle class. Problem is, if you go there, it's NOT there. That's right. It has been removed with this message left in it's place. "The story Backdoor taxes to hit middle class has been withdrawn. A replacement story will run later in the week"

What was so offensive with this? Was it this?

The Obama administration's plan to cut more than $1 trillion from the deficit over the next decade relies heavily on so-called backdoor tax increases that will result in a bigger tax bill for middle-class families. In the 2010 budget tabled by President Barack Obama on Monday, the White House wants to let billions of dollars in tax breaks expire by the end of the year -- effectively a tax hike by stealth. While the administration is focusing its proposal on eliminating tax breaks for individuals who earn $250,000 a year or more, middle-class families will face a slew of these backdoor increases.

They are just telling the truth here. Maybe it was just the Headline that upset them? Either way, they caved twice in three days. It really is sad. They have lost a lot of my respect. I'll keep checking them out. Hell I check out the NYTs from time to time, but I no longer trust that they will report on something that may shine the light on the Obama Administration. Someone there seems to be owned by the White House now. They seem to have completely sold out. It's a shame.

Going to fill my cup. Go get yours. I'll be right back to dive into GWBS in depth, in just a second.

Global Warming: The Other Side

Part Two GWBS Just Silly

Hey folks,

Welcome back. So so far, at least 16 major claims made in AR4 the IPCC report saying that we are killing the Planet, which they also won the Nobel Prize for, have been proven to have come from Environmental Groups rather than Scientists. None of it is true. It is nothing more than a SCAM. What I have been telling you for years. Check this out.

THE HAGUE (AFP) – The Netherlands has asked the UN climate change panel to explain an inaccurate claim in a landmark 2007 report that more than half the country was below sea level, the Dutch government said Friday.

According to the Dutch authorities, only 26 percent of the country is below sea level, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will be asked to account for its figures, environment ministry spokesman Trimo Vallaart told AFP.

The incident could cause further embarrassment for the IPCC, which recently admitted a claim in the same report that global warming could melt Himalayan glaciers by 2035 was wrong.

IPCC experts calculated that 55 percent of the Netherlands was below sea level by adding the area below sea level -- 26 percent -- to the area threatened by river flooding -- 29 percent -- Vallaart said.

"They should have been clearer," Vallaart said, adding that the Dutch office for environmental planning, an IPCC partner, had exact figures.

Correcting the error had been "on the agenda several times" but had never actually happened, Vallaart said.

The spokesman said he regretted the fact that proper procedure was not followed and said it should not be left to politicians to check the IPCC's numbers.

The Dutch environment ministry will order a review of the report to see if it contains any more errors, Vallaart said.

The IPCC's 938-page Fourth Assessment Report spurred politicians around the world to vow action with its warning that climate change was on the march, but the body has faced fierce criticism over the glacier mistake.

Glaciologists have discredited the Himalaya claim, which is being withdrawn, and the controversy has given fresh ammunition to climate sceptics.

No evidence could be found to show the claim had been published in a peer-reviewed journal and reports in Britain have said the reference came from green group the WWF, who in turn sourced it to the New Scientist magazine.

Then I got this in the Emails just this morning.

John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, in an hour-long television documentary titled "Global Warming: The Other Side," presents evidence that our National Climatic Data Center has been manipulating weather data just as the now disgraced and under investigation British University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit. The NCDC is a division of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Its manipulated climate data is used by the Goddard Institute of Space Studies, which is a division of the National Aero- nautical and Space Administration. John Coleman’s blockbuster five-part series can be seen here.

The Coleman documentary presents research by computer expert E. Michael Smith and Certified Consulting Meteorologist Joseph D’Aleo. During the 1960s and into the 1980s, the number of stations used for calculating global surface temperatures was about 6,000. By 1990, the number of stations dropped rapidly to about 1,500. Most of the stations lost were in the colder regions of the Earth. Not adjusting for their loss made temperatures appear to be higher than was in fact the case.

According to Science & Environmental Policy Project, Russia reported that CRU was ignoring data from colder regions of Russia, even though these stations were still reporting data. That means data loss was not simply the result of station closings but deliberate decisions by CRU to ignore them in order to hype their global warming claims. D’Aleo and Smith report that our NCDC engaged in similar deceptive activity where they have dropped stations, particularly in colder climates, higher elevations or closer to the polar regions. Temperatures are now simply projected for these colder stations from other stations, usually in warmer climates.

Mounting evidence of scientific fraud might make little difference in terms of the response to manmade global warming hysteria. Why? Vested economic and political interests have emerged where trillions of dollars and social control are at stake. Therefore, many people who recognize the scientific fraud underlying global warming claims are likely to defend it anyway.

Power, Control, and Money. I have been telling you about this for years now. Whomever wrote this is right. This is what they are doing as we speak. They are trying to get you to forget what you KNOW, what you SEE, and just accept what they are telling you.

Automobile companies have invested billions in research and invest-ment in producing "green cars." General Electric and Phillips have spent millions lobbying Congress to outlaw incandescent bulbs so that they can force us to buy costly compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL). Farmers and ethanol manufacturers have gotten Congress to enact laws mandating greater use of their product, not to mention massive subsidies. Thousands of major corporations around the world have taken steps to reduce carbon emissions including giants like IBM, Nike, Coca-Cola and BP, the oil giant. Companies like Google, Yahoo and Dell have vowed to become "carbon neutral."

Then there’s Chicago Climate Futures Exchange that plans to trade in billions of dollars of greenhouse gas emission allowances. Corporate America and labor unions, as well as their international counterparts have a huge multi-trillion dollar financial stake in the perpetuation of the global warming fraud. Federal, state and local agencies have spent billions of dollars and created millions of jobs to deal with one aspect or another of global warming…

Yet another nail in the ‘global warming’ coffin that is already mighty full of nails.

I highly encourage you to check out the Video over at KUSI News - Global Warming: The Other Side

Folks, it is and has always been about Power, Control, and Money. It has also always been a SCAM. What people seem to not realize is that this, which will redistribute wealth, and control your Private everyday lives, will also create two VERY distinctive Classes.

Class one, Rush, Al Gore, the Senators, Congress People, Bill Gates, Soros, ETC. Those that can and will simply PAY for "Carbon Offsets" and BUY the right to say that they are "Carbon Free." Then, they will simply live the way they always have. Fly around, drive whatever, live in their homes that burn more energy than 30 homes in a year.

Class two, You? Well, you will be forced to follow the laws they pass. You can not afford Carbon Credits? Fine. You can live in a tent and ride a bike to work. And you will LIKE it. You are saving the planet. You will be considered a "Good Citizen" and we will take care of you. Just like Healthcare, and every other need we will determine for you.

This is what these people crave. Absolute Power. They are Socialists. Then you have the fact of all this money being thrown around. Others jump on board and say, "Hey, if I do this or say that, I will get a few million? Why not? Who cares?"

Meanwhile, none of it is REAL. It doesn't exist. There is NO threat. They know this. That is why they care about other things. You know, like taking over Private Industries, Healthcare, and controlling the Financial System. If GW WAS real, NOTHING ELSE WOULD MATTER!

Seriously, what good is the Economy if we are all dead? What would be the point in Healthcare if we will all parish in 10 years? Who would care about ANYTHING else? NOTHING else would matter. Nothing.

Be right back for Part THREE. Yes, Part three.

They KNOW Global Warming is BS

But some of them want YOU to believe it.

Hey folks,

Yes. They know. They know that GW {Global Warming} is complete and utter BS {Uh, Bad Science}As I keep telling you, more and more REAL Scientists are coming out and calling GW or "Man-made Climate Change" what is it. A SCAM. Nothing to back it up. Nothing to PROVE the point the Man is killing the planet. NOTHING.

Now I started to go back into the archives here at the OPNTalk Blog and pull out the points I have been making and the PROVE to back them up, and you know what, WAY TO MUCH to re-post. Seriously. The evidence to the contrary of Global Warming is BLINDING. The fact there are still some that spout outdated talking points in the face of all the evidence to the contrary is mind boggling. Polar Bears, CO2 being a pollutant, the UN-fact of us even warming any more, ETC. Got some time? Check the archives. It's all there.

Just this part may I posted this. White House Counsel Memo On CO2 Myth, Green House Gases, The Economy. I said this.

"Not so fast though. As I told you before, more and more people are starting to question this. REAL Scientists are coming out by the droves and saying that CO2 is NOT a pollutant and there really is no MAN-MADE Global Warming at all. As a matter of fact, we are now in a cooling cycle.

Well, they are not alone, According to this memo that was brought to light by Senator John Barrasso, a Republican from Wyoming, during a CSPAN live hearing, the White House Counsel is now attempting to back pedal a bit. He was addressing this 9 page memo with the EPA administrator, Lisa Jackson.

That's right folks, the White House counsel put together a memo saying everything about CO2 is a myth, that there was no science in the formulation of this. They say that it was pure politics.

I have the memo. Here it is. Read it for yourselves.

See the Video of the exchange and the full Memo itself HERE.

Now the EPA's own Scientists are saying that it is completely Bogus. Not stopping Obama though. Not stopping the Kooks. Michelle Malkin had a GREAT piece about this last week.

The free market-based Competitive Enterprise Institute in Washington (where I served as a journalism fellow in 1995) obtained a set of internal e-mails exposing Team Obama’s willful and reckless disregard for data that undermine the illusion of “consensus.” In March, Alan Carlin, a senior research analyst at the Environmental Protection Agency, asked agency officials to distribute his analysis on the health effects of greenhouse gases. EPA has proposed a public health “endangerment finding” covering CO2 and five other gases that would trigger costly, extensive new regulations of motor vehicles. The open comment period on the ruling ended this week. But Carlin’s study didn’t fit the blame-human-activity narrative, so it didn’t make the cut.

On March 12, Carlin’s director, Al McGartland, forbade him from having “any direct communication” with anyone outside his office about his study. “There should be no meetings, emails, written statements, phone calls, etc.” On March 16, Carlin urged his superiors to forward his work to EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation, which runs the agency’s climate change program. A day later, McGartland dismissed Carlin and showed his true, politicized colors:

“The time for such discussion of fundamental issues has passed for this round. The administrator and the administration has decided to move forward on endangerment, and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision… I can only see one impact of your comments given where we are in the process, and that would be a very negative impact on our office.”

Contrary comments, in other words, would interfere with the “process” of ramming the EPA’s endangerment finding through. Truth-in-science took a backseat to protecting eco-bureaucrats from “a very negative impact.”

In another follow-up e-mail, McGartland warned Carlin to drop the subject altogether: “With the endangerment finding nearly final, you need to move on to other issues and subjects. I don’t want you to spend any additional EPA time on climate change. No papers, no research etc, at least until we see what EPA is going to do with Climate.”

But, of course, the e-mails show that EPA had already predetermined what it was going to do – “move forward on endangerment.” Which underscores the fact that the open public comment period was all for show. In her message to the public about the radical greenhouse gas rules, EPA administrator Lisa Jackson requested “comment on the data on which the proposed findings are based, the methodology used in obtaining and analyzing the data, and the major legal interpretations and policy considerations underlying the proposed findings.” Ms. Jackson, meet Mr. Carlin.

The EPA now justifies the suppression of the study because economist Carlin (a 35-year veteran of the agency who also holds a B.S. in physics) “is an individual who is not a scientist.” Neither is Al Gore. Nor is environmental czar Carol Browner. Nor is cap-and-trade shepherd Nancy Pelosi. Carlin’s analysis incorporated peer-reviewed studies and, as he informed his colleagues, “significant new research” related to the proposed endangerment finding. According to those who have seen his study, it spotlights EPA’s reliance on out-of-date research, uncritical recycling of United Nations data, and omission of new developments, including a continued decline in global temperatures and a new consensus that future hurricane behavior won’t be different than in the past.

But the message from his superiors was clear: La-la-la, we can’t hear you.

In April, President Obama declared that “the days of science taking a back seat to ideology are over.” Another day, another broken promise. Will Carlin meet the same fate as inspectors general who have been fired or “retired” by the Obama administration for blowing the whistle and defying political orthodoxy? Or will he, too, be yet another casualty of the Hope and Change steamroller? The bodies are piling up.

Malkin is author of the forthcoming “Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks & Cronies” (Regnery 2009).

Meanwhile, Obama and Crew continue pushing their agenda. While some of Obama's OWN people are warning him not to base his Cap and Trade on non and or faulty science, he is flying around the world touting his agenda. He is not having much luck with it though. At the G8, China and India said "Screw You." As a matter of fact China went home. You know, they have people to kill and all. They do not have time to play games with the stupid American President. They are not going to put their Economy in jeopardy over a SCAM. They wouldn't mind if we do. But then again, Obama basically said they do not have to. Remember this?

"At a time when the economy worldwide is still deep in recession and we've seen a significant drop in global trade, I think we have to be very careful about sending any protectionist signals," Obama said in an Oval Office interview reported by The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post.

So he just excused others from doing their part to help save the planet, based on a bad economy. But YOU? The single Mom working two jobs? The young family just starting off. The Retired folks on a set income? SCREW YOU! You WILL pay higher energy costs. You WILL watch this "Kill The American Economy Bill," increase unemployment, and put unfair and completely unnecessary burdens on ALL Americans. To save the planet of course.

Folks, this is complete nonsense. They KNOW it is. They know there is no threat. But there IS a lot of power to be had. There IS a lot of control to be taken. There IS a lot of money to be made. This is what the whole "Green Movement" is all about. What it has ALWAYS been about. The truly sad thing? There are still many in this country that has bought into the SCAM.

Obama, Global Warming, Space Gun

So What happens IF Obama is successful?

Hey folks,

I can't believe this, but anyone with an IQ over ten, understands that we have now entered a cooling cycle. GWBS is exactly that, BS. A Scam. More and more Scientists are coming out and telling us that we have not been warming since 98, and as a matter of fact, we are now in a changing cycle that is heading toward cooling temperatures.

But that does not stop Obama and Crew from pushing this immediate threat of us turning into a Great Ball of Fire, if we do nothing. So Obama and his top Science Adviser, have announced a plan to cool the planet. I have a question, and a possible prediction on all of this.

First the announcement. You really can't make this up folks. From Time.com - Obama Looking at Cooling Air to Fight Warming By AP / SETH BORENSTEIN Thursday, Apr. 09, 2009

(WASHINGTON) — Tinkering with Earth's climate to chill runaway global warming — a radical idea once dismissed out of hand — is being discussed by the White House as a potential emergency option, the president's new science adviser said Wednesday.

That's because global warming is happening so rapidly, John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month.

"That's because global warming is happening so rapidly," NO IT'S NOT!. It is NOT even warming at all. {Sigh}

The concept of using technology to purposely cool the climate is called geoengineering. One option raised by Holdren and proposed by a Nobel Prize-winning scientist includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays.

{Laughing} Yes you read that correctly.

Using such an experimental measure is only being thought of as a last resort, Holdren said.

"It's got to be looked at," he said. "We don't have the luxury ... of ruling any approach off the table."

His concern is that the United States and other nations won't slow global warming fast enough and that several "tipping points" could be fast approaching. Once such milestones are reached, such as complete loss of summer sea ice in the Arctic, it increases chances of "really intolerable consequences," he said.

PROVE IT! He can't of course. But you are making the claim, PROVE IT.

Twice in a half-hour interview, Holdren compared global warming to being "in a car with bad brakes driving toward a cliff in the fog."

Can you say, "following a script?"

He and many experts believe that warming of a few degrees more would lead to disastrous drought conditions and food shortages in some regions, rising seas and more powerful coastal storms in others.

The temperature is NOT rising. The Sea levels are not rising. None of this is true. Where has this Idiot been? He seems to have an outdated script. Even some Global Warming "subscribers" are talking about this. They can not deny the facts.

At first, Holdren characterized the potential need to technologically tinker with the climate as just his personal view. However, he went on to say he has raised it in administration discussions.

"We're talking about all these issues in the White House," Holdren said. "There's a very vigorous process going on of discussing all the options for addressing the energy climate challenge."

Holdren said discussions include Cabinet officials and heads of sub-Cabinet level agencies, such as NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency.

The 65-year-old physicist is far from alone in taking geoengineering seriously. The National Academy of Sciences is making it the subject of the first workshop in its new climate challenges program for policymakers, scientists and the public. The British Parliament has also discussed the idea. At an international meeting of climate scientists last month in Copenhagen, 15 talks dealt with different aspects of geoengineering.

The American Meteorological Society is crafting a policy statement that says "it is prudent to consider geoengineering's potential, to understand its limits and to avoid rash deployment."

Yeah. Let's start with this.

A- GW is BS
B- DO you really know how much Sulfur you will have to shoot up to block out the LIFE GIVING Sun? To effect all the worlds temperatures?
C- What do we do with all the acid rain?
D- What if AFTER you do this, a giant Volcano erupts? Where is the thermostat? How do we turn the temps back up?
E- OH, did I mention THERE IS NO GLOBAL WARMING?

Last week, Princeton scientist Robert Socolow told the National Academy that geoengineering should be an available option in case climate worsens dramatically.

Holdren, a 1981 winner of a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant, outlined these possible geoengineering options:

"Genius." Yeah right.

— Shooting sulfur particles (like those produced by power plants and volcanoes, for example) into the upper atmosphere, an idea that gained steam when it was proposed by Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen in 2006. It would be "basically mimicking the effect of volcanoes in screening out the incoming sunlight," Holdren said.

I thought all those Power Planets, were CAUSING Global Warming. Along with cows farting, and us BREATHING. Now it's a GOOD THING? So what's the problem?

— Creating artificial "trees" — giant towers that suck carbon dioxide out of the air and store it.

The first approach would "try to produce a cooling effect to offset the heating effect of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases," Holdren said.

But he said there could be grave side effects. Studies suggest that might include eating away a large chunk of the ozone layer above the poles and causing the Mediterranean and the Mideast to be much drier.

And those are just the predicted problems. Scientists say they worry about side effects that they don't anticipate.

While the idea could strike some people as too risky, the Obama administration could get unusual support on the idea from groups that have often denied the harm of global warming in the past.

Says who?

The conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute has its own geoengineering project, saying it could be "feasible and cost-effective." And Cato Institute scholar Jerry Taylor said Wednesday: "Very few people would rule out geoengineering on its face."

Holdren didn't spell out under what circumstances such extreme measures might ever be called for. And he emphasized they are not something to rely on.

"It would be preferable by far," he said, "to solve this problem by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases."

Yet there is already significant opposition building to the House Democratic leaders' bill aimed at achieving President Barack Obama's goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions 20 percent by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050.

Because there is no need. It's Oppressive, unconstitutional, and will bankrupt industries that we, believe it or not, REALLY can not live without.

Holdren said temperatures should be kept from rising more than 3.6 degrees. To get there, he said the U.S. and other industrial nations have to begin permanent dramatic cuts in carbon dioxide pollution by 2015, with developing countries following suit within a decade.

Those efforts are racing against three tipping points he cited: Earth could be as close as six years away from the loss of Arctic summer sea ice, he said, and that has the potential of altering the climate in unforeseen ways. Other elements that could dramatically speed up climate change include the release of frozen methane from thawing permafrost in Siberia, and more and bigger wildfires worldwide.

The trouble is that no one knows when these things are coming, he said.

I do. NOTHING! Now the prediction. Since we ARE in a global cooling cycle, they will keep up this nonsense for a little bit, then declare victory over Global Warming. Hell, they may even build their space gun, launch, shoot, whatever, some harmless dust up there, the say "Hey it Worked. Obama saved the Planet." However, since we can not be allowed to put this world at risk again, none of the regulations and programs will go away. They will stay as a precaution and people will continue to make a lot of money.

The Chicken Little Crowd Does Not Care

Who they offend.

Hey folks,

Back from the trip. Re-energized and ready to go. I got this in the emails and just have to comment on it. According to Fire Society-Time Magazine Sells Out to Global Alarmists With Offensive Iwo Jima Cover

For just the second time in more than eight decades, TIME magazine abandoned its traditional red border used on its cover. The occasion? Not for our heroes winning the war in Iraq, a political superstar, or for Time's Person of the Year, but rather to push global warming alarmism and equate the "war on global warming" to World War II.

I told you about this. They are declaring war on YOU. The Sceptics out there. Those that have the ability to think, reason, and understand REAL Science. It is a war to silence those that oppose them. It is create laws and regulations to force you to stop arguing and just do or else.

The April 21 issue of TIME took the famous photograph of World War II Marines raising the American flag on Iwo Jima and replaced the flag with a falling tree. The article, How to Win the War on Global Warming, says the “war” on global warming is a “similarly momentous challenge” to our World Wars, the Great Depression, putting a man on the moon, the intercontinental railroad and beating polio. TIME concludes by saying “going green” is the new red, white and blue. In essence, according to TIME green extremism is the height of patriotism.

But it will drive you nuts. Certifiably as we just learned. It will cost you a great deal. This is complete and utter BS. It's not even bunk anymore it is BS. Complete and unadulterated, unproven, psychology driven, Scaryence backed, menacing BS. There is nothing Patriotic about becoming scared into accepting this garbage, or becoming a Sheep that just falls for it. This is NOT to be compared to the challenges of past Wars or that of the Great Depression, or anything like it. Why? Because the Wars were real. The Great Depression was REAL. The Intercontinental Railroad was real. Global Warming is a Scam.

Iwo Jima Veterans In an Uproar

Many veterans are offended by TIME's cover. In a conversation with the Business and Media Institute, Donald Mates, an Iwo Jima veteran, said, "It's an absolute disgrace! Whoever, did it is going to hell. That's a mortal sin. God forbid [TIME author Bryan Walsh] runs into a Marine that was an Iwo Jima survivor." Mates added, "To stick a tree in place of a flag on the Iwo Jima picture is sacrilegious."

It absolutely is. But it is what the Chicken Little Crowd wants you to believe. That it IS a war. That you are either with them, or against them. You are either on the side of America, willing to stand and fight the "war" on Global Warming, or you are an enemy of this country. You hate this country and do not care about your children.

The replacement of the Flag with a tree, not only undermines all the sacrifices of those that fought and died for this country, but it also undermines the greatness of this country it self. It challenges YOUR Patriotism and it says that YOU are an enemy of this country if you do not join the fight against Global Warming.

Grassfire President Steve Elliott agrees. "The Second World War was real; the bullets were real, the soldiers were real the deaths were real. Meanwhile, scientists can't even agree if man-made global warming exists and certainly there is no consensus on the radical agenda of the Climate Alarmists." Elliott adds that use of the actual Iwo Jima photograph is especially offensive. "It would have been bad enough if TIME had done a charicature of the marines, but to intentionally use the actual photo in an effort to equate global warming with World War II is totally outrageous." Time's use of this photograph trivialized the cause that the veterans fought for.

Which is what I just said to you.

$1.2 Trillion Al Gore Tax coming before summer!

As I keep telling you, the only thing Green in the whole Global Warming Scam is the Green of the cash involved.

Gore and the radical Climate Alarmists are using unfounded science {Scaryence} and the willing spin of the media elites to push a massive, $1.2 Trillion Global Warming Tax. We have less than two months to stop the new tax. But the fact is, as this TIME article shows, the entire political, entertainment and media establishments are lining up to push this oppressive new Carbon Tax down our throats.

Check out So You've Heard Plenty About Global Warming.....for many links and information that will help you to understand who these Chicken Little, Al Gore Disciples are and what will happen if they get their way.

Folks, as I have pointed out to you. They start with the three step method. Convince you that you matter. That you are helping to save the planet. They tell you you are NOT just jumping on the band wagon because everyone else is, but that you should, because, well, everyone else is. They tell you that you are a good person for doing it, and they tell you that if you do not, you are a bad person. They then turn to scare tactics. They use the kids. They tell you, in essence, you are killing your grand-kids and their children if you do not buy into this BS now.

Then I told you how they have come right out and told you that they have researched it, and will be using psychology to try to brainwash you in to accepting it. They are threatening those in power, those that have the ability to force you to accept it. I just pointed out to you that we now have a whole new area of Psychology, "eco-therapy" or "eco-psychology." Which of course is just another way for some to get rich off this BS.

Now they have declared war. Now they are questioning your PATROTISM. Now they have replaced the America Flag, with a TREE. Folks, I will say it again. There is no threat. Global Warming is not Scientifically proven nor is there ANY evidence whatsoever, to suggest that we are having ANY effect on the Climate at all. It's called CYCLES. All the Global Warming BS, is that. BS. Complete and unadulterated, unproven, psychology driven, Scaryence backed, menacing BS.

I hope the more people find out about this, that Time will be in a battle that they have never seen before. I hope they lose readers and sponsors over this one. This is completely offensive, as well it should be, to ANY military family out there. It should be completely offensive to anyone with any intelligence whatsoever. This should ALSO be offensive to anyone that loves this country. Time has more than crossed a line here, they have completely sold out, for cash, to the Global Warmians and the cash that is associated with them. They are now nothing but a joke and it is a complete disgrace.

OPNTalk - Global Warming Bunk

You Can't Make This Stuff Up 041808

Now It's Certifiable

Hey folks,

As you know I have been doing an on going series talking about the Hoax, Scam, just plain Bunk, that is Global Warming. Just Tuesday April 8, 08 I said this.

"For years they, the Chicken Little Crowd, have been doing their very best to create mass hysteria. They have succeeded to a certain degree. Many people have just become Sheeple that accept the Scaryence as real science. The just accept the fact that this is happening, and that they are to blame. But not enough of you are accepting it. The "cause" has stalled. More and more REAL Scientists are coming out, using real science to debunk the hoax. More and more people are actually starting to listen to the FACTS and deciding that it makes no sense whatsoever. They are starting to question it. Well, they can't have THAT. Why? Because they can't win an intelligent fact and science based argument. They can not win because there is NO real Science in it. There are no PROVABLE facts to back up what they say.

Al Gore has been telling us we only have ten years left for about 15 years. All the predictions are completely wrong, every time the give them. More frequent and severe storms. {Hurricanes} Well, the last two years? Warmer and dryer winters. Well, this year? Fake pictures, fake facts, and fake {Or bought and paid for} Scientist to try to convince you that in the face of REALITY, FACTS, and SCIENCE, Man-made Global Warming is real. "

Then I re-posted the three step method that they are now using to get you to believe and accept it. I said this.

"So in the face of all the FACTS, and TRUTH, they have found they can not convince enough of you out there to buy it. So what do they do, they come right out publicly and tell you that they are now going to use Psychology to try to persuade more of you to accept it. "

Well, well, well. I guess they have had more success than I thought they were having. Get this. From Fox News - Is Going Green Making You Crazy? It's Time for Eco-Therapy

Sarah Edwards worries about the gasoline she burns, the paper towels she throws out, the litter on the beach, water pollution. She worries so much, it literally makes her sick.

"Fear, grief, anger, confusion and depression," Edwards says, pointing to the negativity that has manifested itself in real-life symptoms such as neck and shoulder pain, fibromyalgia and fatigue.

"I had so much pathos. It's so sad," says Edwards, who moved from California's crowded Santa Monica to a secluded cabin in Los Padres National Forest to help her cope.

It REALLY IS SAD! So very sad that you have been brain washed THIS much. You are driving yourself nuts and NOTHING is happening. All you keep being told by the "Chicken Little Crowd," is that YOU are not doing enough. That WE are all still destroying the planet. {Sigh}

Now, she says: "We only drive to the grocery store every three weeks. We have our own source of water. We compost and no longer heat every room on the first floor."

Edwards suffers from eco-anxiety, the growing angst experienced by those who can't handle the thought that they — or anyone — are in some way contributing to global warming, species extinction and dwindling natural resources.

That is what they WANT you to think. Don't be a SHEEP. Think for yourself.

She recently launched a blog called "Eco-Anxiety" because she believes environmental dangers should be taken seriously. "This is severely disturbing," she says.

NO IT, well OK, it is disturbing that people like you have allowed this to happen.

Experts say discussions about the environment — a growing favorite topic in the media — often focus on worst-case scenarios and ever-dwindling resources. So it's no surprise that all that bad news is taking a toll on some psyches.

HELLO? By the way Sarah. You haven't done enough. You really haven't. Have you bought Carbon Credits? I mean, even though you are only driving to the store once a week, you are STILL driving. What about all that CO2? Are you still breathing? Don't you know that just breathing is now polluting the air?

But not all psyches. John Berlau, author of "Eco-Freaks: Environmentalism Is Hazardous to Your Health," said eco-anxious people need to get a life and get the facts about the environment before freaking out.

ABSOLUTELY {Laughing}

"It may put their mind partially at ease knowing that not all experts subscribe to these apocalyptic views," he said.

YES! A growing number are coming out saying it is what it is. A Hoax.

Things have gotten so bad, a new kind of therapy has sprouted up to keep people from going nuts over the environment.

It’s called "eco-therapy" or "eco-psychology." The time on the couch isn’t spent delving into a patient's childhood to find the source of misery. Instead, it looks at how much time a person spends in nature, the person's carbon footprint and what the individual is doing to save the planet.

And the prescribed treatment may be as simple as a dose of recycling or — you guessed it — hugging a tree.

{Sigh, Laughing} Hugging a tree folks.

Sound like a joke? Ecopsychology, popularized in the early 1990s by social critic Theodore Roszak, is being taught in colleges and universities across the country, including at Harvard Medical School.

Are you REALLY getting this?

Linda Buzzell, founder of the International Association for Eco-Therapy, said the field is so new that there are few statistics to indicate how many practitioners are using the techniques, but the Web site for the International Community for Ecopsychology lists more than 100 eco-therapists in the United States.

They are all nuts. OR, they are all in it for the REAL Green behind all this bunk. CASH.

Buzzell told FOXNews.com in an e-mail that due to increased awareness about the environment with films such as Al Gore’s "An Inconvenient Truth," more people are attuned to "our challenging environmental situation." She said it is "making more and more therapists and clients aware that there is no such thing as human mental or physical health separate from the health of the planet."

WHAT? Just Shut up. Idiot. I'm serious. This is a completely idiotic statement.

The American Psychological Association has no official position on the merits of what it calls an emerging field.

Of BUNK.

But some health care professionals say eco-therapy is more of the latest in a line of money-making gimmicks targeted at the environmentally conscious, an industry estimated by the green group Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability Association at $228 million a year, and growing.

That is what I have been telling you for nearly two years.

Melissa Pickett, an eco-therapist in Santa Fe, N.M., who says she treats dozens of patients a month, said sometimes she has to tell extreme greenies to chill out for their own good. "The global warming craze will cause your clients to go into extremism fueled by fear," she says.

Which is what WHO created? Yup. The Chicken Little Crowd. They WANT this. OK, all together now, Money, Control, and Power. MCP, that is what it is all about.

And with eco-therapy around, that extremism can get expensive. Eco-therapy can cost as much as traditional psychotherapy, upwards of $100 an hour. There's a lot of green in being green.

{Smile}

But Pickett said eco-therapy helps those grappling with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness about the environment.

"People break down and cry. They develop obsessive-compulsive behavior. They have nightmares," Pickett said. "And these are normally high-functioning people."

Who are SHEEPLE. They are NOT able to think for themselves. They are not able to REASON. They have no clue on the implementation of Logic and Truth. FACTS. Real science. They just do whatever they are told.

She pushes her eco-disturbed patients to take shorter showers, turn off lights and computers, consume less, buy less and learn as much as they can about global warming.

Does SHE? Where does SHE live? How is SHE doing her part? What about Father Gore? Private Plans, Hugh over-sized houses. ETC. But YOU. No, no, no, you had better do what you are told.

Berlau wouldn’t say whether the eco-therapy would be a bad practice or not, but he cautions eco-anxiety could signal larger psychological problems that won't be solved merely by hugging a tree.

"People can have anxieties about all sorts of things. If someone genuinely has a phobia about the environment, then seeking treatment may be helpful to them. My only advice would be to seek treatment from a regular psychiatrist or psychologist rather than someone who claims to specialize in eco-therapy."

A Nut Job.

Berlau agrees that busy Americans often are isolated from nature but said sometimes all they may need is a good old-fashioned hike in the woods. "I would say, just go camping and turn your SUV into the outdoor vehicle it was intended to be."

Folks, this is the biggest pile of bull I've seen in a long time. THEY did this, and if you are one of the sick, YOU made yourself this way because you listen to all this garbage. Now, go hug a tree, make that two, and call me in the morning.

Polar Bears Are Smarter Than Them

Hey folks,

In the Health and Science segment today, let’s talk about what made BIG news on Friday and Saturday. The Polar Bears are dying!!!! And It’s ALL your fault. Didn’t they do this already? Fake Polar Bear Pictures, ETC? Anyway, THEY ARE DYING,,again.

It doesn’t matter where you looked, the basic jist is YOU, through Global Warming of course, are killing off the Polar Bears. I mean ANYWHERE you looked.

AFP -Shrinking ice could put polar bear on endangered list: US
AP- Polar bear population seen declining
Reuters -Most polar bears could be lost by 2050: report

Just to name a few. A group, lead by a Steve Amstrup,

“who is a Research Wildlife Biologist with the Unites States Geological Survey at the Alaska Science Center, Anchorage AK. He holds a B.S. in Forestry from the University of Washington (1972), a M.S. in Wildlife Management from the University of Idaho (1975), and a Ph.D. in Wildlife Management from the University of Alaska Fairbanks (1995). He has been conducting research on all aspects of polar bear ecology in the Beaufort Sea for 24 years. His interests include distribution and movement patterns as well as population dynamics of wildlife, and how information on those topics can be used to assure wise stewardship. He is particularly interested in how science can help to reconcile the ever enlarging human footprint on our environment with the needs of other species for that same environment. Prior work experiences include studies of black bears in central Idaho, and pronghorns and grouse in Wyoming. On their honeymoon in New Zealand in 1999, Steven and his wife Virginia helped in a tagging study of little blue penguins. That experience gave Steve the honor of being one of the very few people ever to have been bitten by both polar bears and penguins.”

wrote a report saying that Global Warming is killing the Polar Bears. {Sigh} He is a card carrying member of the Chicken Little Crowd. Who do you think FUNDS all these hops around the world? Anyway, According to Reuters -Most polar bears could be lost by 2050: report By Deborah Zabarenko, Environment CorrespondentFri Sep 7, 6:27 PM ET

Two-thirds of the world's polar bear population could be gone by midcentury if predictions of melting sea ice hold true, the U.S. Geological Survey reported on Friday.

STOP!! Follow this with me.

Two-thirds of the world's polar bear population could be gone by midcentury if predictions of melting sea ice hold true, the U.S. Geological Survey reported on Friday.

The fate of polar bears could be even bleaker than that estimate, because sea ice in the Arctic might be vanishing faster than the available computer models predict, the geological survey said in a report aimed at determining whether the big white bear should be listed as a threatened species.

STOP!! The fate of polar bears could be even bleaker, sea ice in the Arctic might be vanishing faster than the available computer models predict. Who puts in the information? A computer is great. But ALWAYS remember this, it only knows what it is TOLD to know.

"There is a definite link between changes in the sea ice and the welfare of polar bears," said Steve Amstrup, who led the research team. Arctic sea ice is already at an all-time low this year and is expected to retreat farther this month, according to the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center.

That means that polar bears -- some 16,000 of them -- will disappear by 2050 from parts of the Arctic where sea ice is melting most rapidly, along the north coasts of Alaska and Russia, researchers said in a telephone briefing.

OK enough. But GET THIS. From the AP- Polar bear population seen declining By JOHN HEILPRIN, Associated Press WriterSat Sep 8, 3:35 AM ET

Two-thirds of the world's polar bears will be killed off by 2050 — and the entire population gone from Alaska — because of thinning sea ice from global warming in the Arctic, government scientists forecast Friday.

STOP!!! AGAIN!!

Two-thirds of the world's polar bears will be killed off by 2050 — and the entire population gone from Alaska — because of thinning sea ice from global warming in the Arctic, government scientists forecast Friday.

It’s a done deal folks. It WILL happen. Not. Even the “Government Scientist” Say “might, could, possibly, ETC” Because there is NO scientific PROOF that Global Warming even exists, let alone it being manmade.

Only in the northern Canadian Arctic islands and the west coast of Greenland are any of the world's 16,000 polar bears expected to survive through the end of the century, said the U.S. Geological Survey, which is the scientific arm of the Interior Department.

Really? Proof of this is? If it’s GLOBAL WARMING, would they not die too?

USGS projects that polar bears during the next half-century will disappear along the north coasts of Alaska and Russia and lose 42 percent of the Arctic range they need to live in during summer in the Polar Basin when they hunt and breed. A polar bear's life usually lasts about 30 years.

There’s “WILL” again. Done deal. Nothing you can do to stop it. Really?

"Projected changes in future sea ice conditions, if realized, will result in loss of approximately two-thirds of the world's current polar bear population by the mid 21st century," the report says.

“IF REALIZED” Not a done deal. It’s a HYPOTHESES. A theory. With nothing backing it up. Besides, who says Global Warming is bad? According to LiveScience.com-Global Warming Good News: No More Ice Ages By Andrea Thomson

Finally, there’s some "good" news about global warming: All that carbon dioxide we’ve emitted into the atmosphere could mean no more ice ages anytime soon, new research says.

Most research into the effects of the carbon dioxide accumulating in our atmosphere has looked ahead only to the next century or two.

But the emitted carbon dioxide isn't just going to disappear after that—research has shown that some of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere now will hang around for quite awhile, probably tens or even hundreds of thousands of years. So the effects of burning fossil fuels today will extend long beyond the next couple hundred years, possibly delaying the onset of Earth's next ice age, says researcher Toby Tyrrell of the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom.

So we are saving ourselves. This IS good news .

Advancing ice

Ice ages naturally occur about every 100,000 years or so as the pattern of Earth's orbit changes with time and alters the way the sun strikes the planet's surface.

When less solar energy hits a given area of the surface, temperatures become cooler (this is what causes the difference in temperatures between summer and winter). Long-term changes in Earth's orbit that cause less solar energy to hit the surface can cool down summer temperatures so that less ice melts at the poles.

CYCLES! Natural cycles.

If ice sheets and glaciers don't melt a bit in the summer, the ice accumulates and starts to advance—in past ice ages, sheets of ice covered all of Canada and most of the Northern United States.

Notice what time of year it is? They are warning of Global Warming melting the ice?

The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is also an important factor in triggering an ice age. In the past, lower carbon dioxide levels (caused by natural processes) helped cool the Earth and again allowed ice to advance.

Rising carbon dioxide levels, as is the case with global warming, can have the opposite effect.

So we are doing good. We should burn MORE fossil fuels. We need more cows farting. We need to save ourselves from the coming ICE AGE,,,,wait,,oh yeah, they were warning about that in the 70's. Well, maybe we just got a little over ambitions. We heated things up too much. {Sigh}

Folks, we cannot control the natural cycles of the earth if we TRIED. It is all bunk. It’s all about money and control. It’s natural. It happens over and over again. I’m telling you, these Polar Bears are smarter then these people. They are living their lives happy and carefree. Playing, eating, sleeping. They couldn’t careless what you drive, the bulbs in your house, or how much a cow farts. They are not the ones running around saying the sky is falling.
