Posted by Kate at July 6, 2009 12:05 PMI was golfing the other day and shot another par.
I always do now.
Well not really, but if I'm over a stroke or two per hole I just buy a par from my buddy who is a broker.
He gets them from some kid in Bangladesh, who apparently is a golfing phenomenon. Golf is very big there he says.
I pay him ten bucks a stroke to keep me at par and he passes the money on to the kid in Bangladesh.
I'm glad he told me about it.
He calls me up to go golfing all the time now, sometimes twice a day in fact.
It's a great system, sort of like the cap and trade system.
Posted by: Stan at July 6, 2009 12:14 PMI thought it was irrefutable. Would you ever call it climate change or is that now debunked too?
Posted by: HAHAAH at July 6, 2009 12:20 PMWhat year was it that Gore said we would be past the point of no return? 2016?
Doesn't someone have a clock counting down to the date?
Posted by: Gord Tulk at July 6, 2009 12:37 PMGlobal warming is nothing more than a human-hating-hoax. A scam created by Gaia worshiping Hippies.
Al Gore, with Hollywood and media help, took it to another level - Kyoto Kult.

In light of the current global cooling, compare the track records.
Note: latte-libs do not believe in the value of track records. They think it is discrimination. Too judgemental

Posted by: Canadian Sentinel at July 6, 2009 1:39 PMNaturally the N. American presstitutes are giving The Goracle a pass on what a British High Court ruled about showing the movie "An Inconvenient Truth" in British schools.
The presstitutes are also not pointing out The Goracle's huge conflict of interest in that he's the CEO and major shareholder in an international brokerage firm for trading in so-called carbon offsets. His alarmism puts money in his pocket, a lot of money.
In the case of showing The Goracle's propaganda movie "An Inconvenient Truth" in British schools, the British High Court determined there were nine very important and significant factual errors/falsehoods in the video. Th Court ordered that all these must be disclosed to the viewing students before the movie is shown. I quote:
1. "The film claims global warming is responsible for the gradual retreat of the alpine glacier atop Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro. Scientists have conclusively demonstrated no such link exists."
2. "The film presents graphs indicating that fluctuating carbon dioxide levels have always preceded and caused global temperature fluctuations. In fact, temperatures changes have always preceded carbon dioxide changes."
3. "The film suggests global warming caused Hurricane Katrina. Few hurricane experts believe this, and substantial scientific evidence indicates global warming is having no impact on hurricane frequency or intensity."
4. "The film asserts global warming is causing Central Africa's Lake Chad to dry up. In fact, land use practices are causing the drying up of Lake Chad, and Central Africa is in an unusual and prolonged wet period."
5. "The film asserts global warming is leading to polar bear deaths by drowning. Yet the only documented drowning deaths occurred due to a freak storm, and polar bear numbers are growing substantially."
6. "The film claims global warming threatens to halt the Gulf Stream and initiate a new ice age. The vast majority of scientists who have studied the issue have determined such a scenario is implausible."
7. "The film asserts global warming is causing the destruction of coral reefs through bleaching. Scientists have identified other causes for coral bleaching and have additionally noted bleaching is a natural process by which coral continually selects ideal symbiotic algae."
8. "The film asserts Greenland is in danger of rapid ice melt that will raise sea levels by 20 feet or more. The scientific consensus is that any foreseeable Greenland ice melt will be gradual and will take centuries to substantially raise sea levels."
9. "The film asserts the Antarctic ice shelf is melting. In fact, only a small portion of Antarctica is getting warmer and losing ice mass, while the vast majority of Antarctica is in a prolonged cold spell and is accumulating ice mass."
Dave's post needs to spread far and wide.
Remember that scene in Airplane! where one of the passengers loses it. Leslie Nelson as the doctor slaps her a couple of times telling her snap out of it? Then another passenger offers to continue likewise. Soon, there's a lineup of passengers waiting to get in a few slaps.
Imagining that scene with Gore on the receiving end...?
Gord; I believe Rush Limbaugh has a counter up with the Goracle's prediction as to when we all burn up.
Posted by: bverwey at July 6, 2009 2:13 PMit is sad, but even though Gore's scam is all bullshit, he has the worlds most powerful tyrant backing him and bankrupting the entire western world to perpetuate this tax fraud.
It's going to take a revolution to stop it.

"1st Polluter shot by EPA officers in organization's history
EPA fugitive who shot at officers expected to change plea
A Utah fugitive critically injured March 10 during a shoot-out with law enforcement officers in a Marathon trailer park is expected to avoid a trial by pleading guilty today.
Larkin Baggett, 54, formerly of Salt Lake City, was shot in the neck and buttocks after he allegedly pointed an assault rifle at a Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputy and three U.S. Environmental Protection Agency agents.
Baggett was the first man shot by EPA officers in that organization's history."

"Environment Agency sets up green police (The UK Green Shirts are Coming)
The boys in green are coming as the Environment Agency sets up a squad to police companies generating excessive CO2 emissions.
The agency is creating a unit of about 50 auditors and inspectors, complete with warrant cards and the power to search company premises to enforce the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC), which comes into effect next year.
Decked out in green jackets, the enforcers will be able to demand access to company property, view power meters, call up electricity and gas bills and examine carbon-trading records for an estimated 6,000 British businesses. Ed Mitchell, head of business performance and regulation at the Environment Agency, said the squad would help to bring emissions under control. “Climate change and CO2 are the world’s biggest issues right now. The Carbon Reduction Commitment is one of the ways in which Britain is responding.”"

That is an excellent way of presenting global temperatures. I'm going to suggest it to others.
Posted by: imapopulistnow at July 6, 2009 2:42 PMFirst fat ass Al had us all frying, the globe was heating up rapidly, all our fault, then when Mother Nature cooled things down it became Climate change.
So what's his shtick now? Do we fry or do we freeze?
The Chretien Liberals were worse signing on to KYOTO to pay carbon spewing places like China to continue to pollute while his government did squat on the file beyond that for 13 years. Well Dion did name his dog Kyoto, it was all he managed to do.

Posted by: rockyt at July 6, 2009 3:57 PMIt was all a scam to begin with. Bush screwed it up by getting elected. In 2000 Gore was going to pass the legislation needed to get things going to halt Global Warming and by 2010 the Democrats and the rest of the International AGW Crowd were gona claim their efforts were a success, but much more needed work is to be done.
They missed their window. Now they are pissed, and will try to ram this Ponzi Scheme down our throats even though Scientists are standing up everytime you turn around to debunk the Liberals AGW Propaganda.
These days trust in Politicians is running about as low as the City Coffers, and a yes-vote for Taxes will be a career ender. The Clowns in the Senate know this, the Clowns in the House are a dime a dozen.
IMVPHO; Cap&Trade, Amnesty, Healthcare and AGW will all die in the Senate due to lack of financing.

Notice CBC snark*: “he says”.
[Canadian] “Polar bear expert barred from meeting over climate views, he says*”
CBC interpolates this:
>>> “The view that climate change is mainly driven by natural cycles, not by human-caused pollution, does not help polar bear conservation efforts, former group chairman Andrew Derocher said. (CBC)”
"A polar bear biologist formerly from Nunavut says he was barred from an international scientific meeting because his beliefs on climate change and its effects on the species do not match the group's opinion.
Mitch Taylor, who was a polar bear biologist with the Nunavut government until last year, said he was not invited to the Polar Bear Specialist Group's meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark, this year.
The group of scientists meets periodically to discuss the status of polar bear populations around the world. Taylor said he had been attending the group's meetings since 1981.
But Taylor said he was told by then-chairman Andrew Derocher that his beliefs about climate change — that it is a natural cycle, not mainly driven by human-caused pollution — are not helpful to the group.
"He explained that it wasn't because my expertise and experience on polar bears was deficient," Taylor told CBC News. "It was because I wasn't accepting anthropogenic global warming, and they felt that it wouldn't be helpful for me to be at the meeting."
Taylor retired from Nunavut's Environment Department last year and moved to Ontario, but he said he is still involved in polar bear research."

Posted by: maz2 at July 6, 2009 4:45 PMOur boy's teacher was asked if "Inconvienient Truth" was going to be shown at his school.
"No."
The teacher has permission to send him to the Resource Room to do something else if it is screened against her will.
The principal is aware that Mom and I WILL show up when we think it is necessary. She learned the hard way over a 2nd Amendment t-shirt.
fruitbat and Gooficle want to call for deniers to be jailed or whatever? I'd like to see the ante upped from our end from a human rights side.

Posted by: Joel Schroeder at July 6, 2009 9:12 PMI concur it will take a Revolution. The wrong way train is now all but unstoppable. it's police everything, The citizens are going to need there own police T shirts, maybe the citizen police versus the environmental police. Want to instill fear and compliance just add the word Police either before or after what ever you want to control.
