House votes 244-179 to kill U.S. funding of UN IPCC! ‘It no longer wishes to have the IPCC prepare its comprehensive international climate science assessments’

I find it hard to believe politicians using intelligence instead of political feelings. So Good
Gwynne Dyer will be crushed.
defund the IPCC?
what next, defund the UN ?
Rationale people can only hope.
The Senate will block it so no victory yet.
Wonderful news, made my evening. So rare to see politicians doing the right thing that it is a moment to be savored and will have a few drinks to celebrate the event (hey, it’s a great excuse and I don’t work tomorrow).
Fred, I hope the US doesn’t redirect those funds to the George Soros backed Avaaz.
I’m very happy but also destabilized. Is Obama becoming a neo con?
Aesop must be spinning in his grave…
There may yet be hope.
“Elections have consequences.”
— Barack Obama
Elections may have consequences when the Republicans lose because they respect the decision made at the ballot box.
One only has to look at Wisconsin to realize that Democrats have no respect for the ballot box.
What are people to do if they win and their choice at the ballot box is ignored, even thwarted in an anti-democratic way, by an aggressive recalcitrant minority?

[………The Senate will block it so no victory yet…..]
And if the Senate passes it…OBOZO vetoes it.
However these are amendmants tacked on a FUNDING BILL, if the Bill fails…no funding period.
All funding legistlation must originate in the HOUSE….if not this funding BILL the next one.
The HOUSE literally has the cheque book.
The Fed can print all the money it likes but only the HOUSE can spend it.
We used to say:
“WHEN YA GOT’EM BY THE SHORTS THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS WILL FOLLOW.”
“It is among hundreds of amendments in the Republican budget package being assembled to fund the government for the next seven months while slashing $60 billion.”
Not much there.
Some discussion of the details here
The IPCC don’t seem to have noticed, as they are busy working on report number 5.
In any, case the time has passed when some international initiative would fail without the US ponying up [in this case, 2.2million]
Lot of push back latley. Nice to see the real Americans come back!

Yes, and Canadian government continues to support this fraud, still to afraid of enviroMENTALists. I am still waiting for ONE Conservative MP to state thea Global Warming/Climate Change is a hoax. This will never happen until the LIEberal Party gets a majority in about 20 years. [If you say they already did, please state MP and date.]
People in Ontario are starting to see effects of Global Warming/Climate Change policies hit tieir pocket books very hard for a generation of tax payers. This is what happens when the government supports a “trend” rather than logic. Now we have huge power bills – thanks to belief in Global Warming/Climate Change bi the government.
The Federal government banned a perfectly good lightbalb in belief of this religion – I wonder what the MP’s will do with all those burnt out bulbs are doing with them [free postage.]
This is a start.
ClownParty, you have that right. The Conservative government needs to wake up to the fraud. We received one of those 10 percenters last week from our Conservative MP that stank like Al Gore’s koolaid.
Ken; with all the little libtard media sychophants nipping at Harpers heels at all times, namely CBC CTV Globe Starwipe etc along with Iggulas own personal propaganda news site Bourque, there are very few Goldstein, Gunter types printing contrarian views about the SCAM globull warming. What is needed in Toronto media is childrens pull out formats papers, which most of Torontos readers, might understand. That giant cesspool, beautiful lake polluting city of Toronto seems oblivious to the Visa bill coming due for their AWG cult beliefs.
Sasquach is correct – for those who remember history, it was a Democratic congress which slashed funding for the U.S. war effort in Vietnam. Senate and the Pres. don’t have the “power of the purse”.
bartinsky, you are 100% correct that all the propaganda machinery is against Harper. But you know, that has -always- been the case and always will be until they are driven bankrupt.
CPC has to work in the current hostile environment, which means they have to do things under the table, do them by inches, and look like they aren’t doing them.
Look at Bev Oda this week. She changes ONE WORD in a climate report, we’ve got wall to wall coverage and pictures of her with a smoke hanging out of her face. Wall to freakin’ wall.
I’m paying those huge power and fuel bills here in Ontario. I’m not happy. But I am under no illusions that the CPC caused that or that they can fix it tomorrow morning. High fuel and power bills are not just the result of Liberal policy, they ARE Liberal policy. This was the desired result.
So let’s not kid ourselves that idiot plans for twisty light bulbs are in any way pivotal for the future of the country. What’s going to make a difference is breaking the Liberals. Break the MSM, break the public sector unions, break the socialist bureaucracy by chipping at their foundation day after day. Pretty soon it all falls down.
Also, let us not be mistaken about people in Toronto. They voted against the NDP insanity when they picked Ford. Toronto has the highest taxes in the country except for Quebec. They have the worst traffic in North America, not just Canada. They have ever decreasing personal safety, ever increasing public discord, ever rising housing costs and NO HELP IN SIGHT.
As we continue to shift the propaganda machine to defense, the solutions will become more and more apparent to Joe Sixpack in Toronto. Prune the TTC down to a reasonable cost. End the free welfare that keeps droogs moving into Hogtown from all over the world. Jettison public sector unions for good and all. TAX CUTS. Etc.
Too many people trying to live in Toronto, bottom line. Maybe REDUCING services will make it less attractive to live there, and people will move back out to the ghost towns in the ROC.

Shame on you. You know full well that the 416 core of the GTA voted solidly for the queer.
The balance of the GTA…905…..went with FORD.
What this illustrates is that although the core GTA remains a lefty bastion….it is irrelevant polically.

The only thing dumber then a global warmer is the sycophantic scum journalists that support global warming. Cdn journalists don’t give a damn about truth or fairness, they’re in the business to support and write about their beliefs, their opinions. Newspapers and the CBC are nothing but propagandists for a leftist ideology that is corrupt and dictatorial. The leftists are insane, and unless they are stopped, they will impose their insanity on the rest of us, by force if necessary.
IPCC working on Report number FIVE?
I don’t know about you, but that strikes me as a LOT of CORRECTIONS to make…
Heh heh.
Anything moving forward needs corrections.
If you want unchanging perfection, there’s the bible.
