More Climat-Gate..

Go see Bore Patch for a really really really good series of posts on "climate gate" and the "science" (or lack therof) therein.

He points out that there is NO warming that is not "adjusted".

None

Zero

Nada.

And he shows that if you run the so called climate model, you GET A "HOCKEY STICK" no matter what data you input.

In other words. this whole thing is BULLSHIT.

But you already knew that.

Didn't you.

The backlash begins

The SWISS seems to be angry enough at the Muslim attempts to change the country to which they emigrated that they have banned the erection of new minarets.

This is serious. The SWISS have done this. If it had been the Germans, or the French I could understand....But the SWISS?

Here is a quote that should tell you why....and it is the same thing that OG and myself have said....."Backers said the growing Muslim population was straining the country "because Muslims don't just practice religion."".

Seems that some of the Swiss (57.5 to 42.5 percent)as Og and I do, the rest are with RobertaX.

ETA: Seems that the WOMEN of Switzerland were the larges supporters of the ammendment....

Climat-Gate links

Ivan Kenneally has commentary on the politics of GW "science...

Jonah Goldberg has a point about the double standard of scrutiny for these leaked emails and documents...

Some snark

Others take a look at the code that is used in the program that "models" the climate.

And Megan points out that we are basing a change in our entire lifestyle and it's costs on a fairly faulty model.

Here we have a report that another bunch of climate data (from NZ of all places?) is "adjusted" to fit the preexisting theory, not the theory adjusting to real data....One wonders about the veracity of all of the other data used in light of these revelations....IS there any climate data that is not "adjusted" to make it fit the theory of global warming ???

Here we have the point that it's not about the science, it's about the funding...No one is going to pay anyone to do a report that says "all is well, we have no issues, you can relax now"....at least not more than once.

And, Via Insty, we have a piece that points out that it is all about the money and control....Not about the science, not about the environment, and not about the climate.....

Look: World leaders are going to Copenhagen in a few days to discuss how they are going to strangle their respective economies in order to reduce carbon emissions. I have no issue with reducing carbon, nor making our use of energy more efficient. But the fact is that this is, and always has been, based upon poor science and half assed computer models that were written to make the outcome fit a predetermined outcome that fits the "hockey stick" graph/theory. It's not like there is any real proof that WE HUMANS are causing the planet to warm. In fact, we might not be. then agaibn, we might. But science like this proves nothing except that many people have gotten a lot of money for a very poor "research" product.

If the ice is all gonna melt, and the oceans are gonna rise, then why did Al the Gore just buy a bunch of oceanfront property in California??? Kinda like the "End of the World is Near" prophet buying long term investments...

Follow the links here, decide for yourself. Look at the evidence that is mounting. If this were business (Global Warming Research IS a busines, but I am talking about a private, stockholder owned business) then the FBI would be all over this, investigating for racketeering and fraudulent use of governmnet money....

Ask yourself why, if the MSM had the time and resources to fact check Sarah Palin's book with a bunch of people, can't they devote a portion of those resources to investigating this bogus climate "research"? Why are they whitewashing this? Who benefits?

And ask yourself why you hear very little from the MSM about it?

ETA: I have been getting HUGE traffic from Google search. For those of nyou that found me that way. Please, take the time to read some of my other posts.....Hope you like them, and if not, well, your comments might just make me take the time to re-think my opinion....I hope you enjoy my blog...

SO now...The M4 needs fixin'

Seems that the ARMY wants to fix the M4. Seems that the fixes are what everyone already says they need....A piston, and a barrel that is thicker, and a better trigger.

So maybe they are gonna buy the new Ruger??? Or maybe an SU-16?

Srsly. Why now? Not that these fixes haven't been needed. And no I am not bashing the M4. It is a good system, albeit with some issues. But what firearms platform doesn't have issues? (with the possible exception of the designs of JMB......)

One wonders though...Why now?


Who benefits from this? (other than the military men and women who may (and I say may) get a better, more reliable rifle.

LOL

Ya gotta admit....If he IS smokin' da spliff, it would explain a lot....

More on the failure of Global warming to be real

THIS points out that the earth hasn't warmed in over a decade.

At all.

None.

Nada.

The average temperature rise over the last decade:

0.00 degrees C.

None. Not even a teensy teensy tiny bit.

Makes one go HMMMMM.....

Good question:

Via Hoosierboy, I found THIS.

Ask yourself: How do YOU answer his question?

I know my answer......

Thought for the day....

Lies, lies, lies.....

Via Devi's Kitchen

We have THIS.....

......have presented, as fact, data which privately they have acknowledged to be, at best, flawed.

Further, many members of The Club are editors of the reports submitted to the IPCC, and the emails show that they have deliberately cherry-picked those that agree with their position—and conspired to discredit or reject those that do not agree with their political position.

The Club has also conspired to suborne journals, and to oust editors of other journals who are perceived as being unsympathetic to their cause. And they have been successful.

The emails show that, whilst claiming that sceptics' papers are not peer-reviewed, The Club have actively and deliberately used blackmail and smears to prevent such peer-review or, when review is unavoidable, to have conspired to skew the review process to discredit their opponents.

All of these actions render the scientific reports produced by the IPCC extremely suspect. At best.

And they most certainly destroy the concept of the "scientific consensus".

None of these emails disprove anthropogenic climate change: but they do shatter the idea that there is no dissent and, crucially, they absolutely annihilate the idea that scientists are impartial and uncorrupt.

And these emails most certainly explode the proposition that we should reorder the world economy because of an impending climate disaster.

So we have "scientists" who have skewed data to present (and "prove") a foregone conclusion.....That Global Warming is actually happening, and happening at a rate which will cause widespread damage to our way of life very soon..... It is incontrovertable...

Except it isn't...and the "consensus" doesn't exist....

While the MSM hasn't run with this (yet) we can only hope that they will.

Spread the truth wherever you can.

SHOW people what the truth is....

Make this become mainstream.

In other words...

"Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining"

Wow. SNL had actual satire....

Now if only that were just satire.....


HT: Anarchangel

So is Al the Gore

A buffoon for believing the Global Warming bullshit, or a co-conspirator in the whole thing?

Either he is a tool (and a fool), or he is a liar.

It doesn't look good for him no matter which you believe.

Will this destroy the Church Of Glowbal Warmening?

Free speech for me, but not for thee...

Arianna Huffington feels that Free speech I.E. First ammendment rights, should not be equally applied.

Bitch.

I dislike her with a passion, but would fight to the death defending her right to be stupid in her comments. She has the right to show her stupidity as much as the next person. Free speech is, after all, free speech.

Muzzling your opponent is not a way to win. Win on your merits. Or fail. Either way, let us not even consider stepping on THAT particular slippery slope.

This comment shows how foolish the left wingers are.

The left must be getting scared.

Breaking news! Global Warming IS a scam..Climate gate!

File this under "I tole ya so"!

Seems that hacker broke into a "Global Climate Center" and hacked their database of emails and other documents.....Go to the link and read. I am not sure where the "Global Climate Center" is, other than the referenced "University of East Anglia Climate Research Center....A yahoo search shows one such named university in Norwich, UK, and Wikipedia has an entry for the University....The Register reports that a massive data breach has occured..... Apparently there is a huge file containing all sorts of interesting emails and such oput thereand available to those interested parties. Wonder what will come of this???

If (and I say "if" because I cannot confirm the report) this information and the supposed file is confirmed, then this should blow the lid off of the whole scam....If the MSM does it's job. (bets?)

Let us see how this pans out....

"The truth shall set ye free"

ETA: HERE is the link to the (alleged) files...

ETA 2: At lest some of the files have been verified by their authors....If this is what they DIDN'T delete, one would wonder what they DID delete.....

Cowardly congresscritter?

Sen. Evan Bayh seems to have an issue at his offices....For some reason, he is "experiencing extremely high call volume" and no one is able to answer the published phone number for any of his offices.

Seems that this problem has existed for about the last two weeks. Strange.

Or, it could be that the spineless asshole doesn't want to hear from any of his constituents before the Health Care vote.

Could be that the high call volume thing is true......For the past two weeks...at all offices.....It could happen.

I am most likely wasting my time, but.....

I will try once more, then I will mosey down to the local office and make sure my opinion is heard.

Please, donate generously to my bail money fund.

Thanks in advance.

Think I'll have some Cheeze with that Whine

This is a perfect example of why these people have no clue. This person wants his health care back ....I understand that. He wants health care that he can afford. I understand that too. He has no job, so he can't afford the COBRA cost for the same coverage his employer subsidized. I understand THAT too. But the fact is that he has no clue as to what the health care really cost, not just his share, but with the amount that the employer had to kick in. This amount was pre-tax wages, and he fails to realize exactly what the cost for his health care was. Now all he can see is that he wants his cheap health care. He (like most liberals,..... actually, like most people, but conservatives don't expect it) wants something for nothing.

Guess what dude: your health care is gonna be expensive. If you think that your health care is expensive now, just wait until it is free. It's gonna cost you something like $350 a month as it is for the Obamacare plan. Since you have no job, what are you gonna use to pay for it? How are you gonna find the money for the plan that YOU HAVE NO CHOICE TO PAY FOR?

Your employer subsidized your health care plan when you were employed. Who is gonna do it now? Others are, that's who. Your employer will be taxed to make up the difference. Bet he doesn't hire too many people then. You think unemployment is bad now? Just wait.

All you seem to care is that you want what you had before.You had free or low cost health care because your employer paid for (subsidized) most of it. Now you want free or low cost health care and you want some other person or group of persons (like the "government") to subsidize your health care.

Who is gonna pay the bills?

More commentary

on the "Islam is not evil" discussion started by Og and Roberta X....

Best one is HERE. Pay particular attention to the quote by Jefferson.

Since my stance seems to be twisted by peoples replies, I will state things as I see them.

1. Islam, in it's fundamentalist form, is incompatible with the laws of the US.

2. You cannot be a practicing Muslim and be a good citizen, something must give.

3. "Tolerance" does not mean that you have the right to kill, maim, or in any way harm your daughters or other female family members because your religion says it is OK. Your personal beliefs must be subject to the laws of the US. Deal with it however you please, or go back home.

4. If you hate this country, leave. We like it with the laws that exist now. Want it to be like the Islamic shithole you left? Too bad. You wanna live under Islamic rule? Find another country that is ruled by the Koran. This one isn't. You left that country for a reason. Good or bad, you came here. Live under these laws. We revere another document, called the constitution. Live under that law, or be punished. Same goes for fundamentalist whatevers (Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, etc.)

5. You have no right to the US taxpaying public funding mosques, foot washing basins, prayer rooms, etc. Want them? Find a space and make your own. Pay for it out of your pocket, not the states.

6. For those that are ignorant, realize what the Koran tells it's followers regarding your status as an infidel. Learn what it says. Realize that while many Muslims just want to get along, they support the mosques that preach hate and preach such things as Dhimmitude. Understand that they support the preaching of hate, and murder, and death and Sharia. Understand that the ultimate goal of the Islamic world is domination and eventual conversion (or death) of all infidels. It is OK to lie, cheat, or whatever is necessary to further this goal, as long as the lies are to an infidel. It is OK to murder an infidel.

Don't hide the truth. Understand it.

7. I, in no way, wish to see any Muslims deported, corralled, hurt, injured, incarcerated, harassed, or in any way wish to see their civil rights trampled. But neither do I wish to allow them to either trample my rights, nor should they be given any extra rights just because they are a Muslim minority.

8. Freedom to practice your religion is a fundamental right, recognized and stated in the Constitution. But those rights to practice your religion have limits when it comes to others. Deal with the limits or find another country.

Please resume your normal day. Thank you for reading.

ETA: for those Muslims reading this, HERE are a few hints on how to get along.

I am so

Note: I have no way of verifying if this is correct. But, it does seem to be somewhat realistic...scary too.

Interesting point is that the "blue" (DNC Controlled) states started out higher, then the cancer spread to the rest of the country..
