Baby, It’s Cold Outside is a sweet, dreamy love song still

That was a pretty song in its day, wasn’t it; pretty and enjoyable, and I reckon it still is. You can hear it again on YouTube here, if you want, and trust me, if you are too young to have heard it when it was popular, you will find it a delightful listen now. You can see the lyrics here, if you want.

Yes, Baby, It’s Cold Outside is still a pretty song, but the severe, snowy weather we have been having across a large part of America lately, while very pretty in some instances, it has not been all that enjoyable. I bet most, if not all, of you can imagine the Global Warming fanatics shouting from the rooftops how all this cold weather has been caused by—teh-deh—Global Warming!

Global Warming Sounds wacky because it is

I know, the idea that severe cold weather can be caused by Global Warming sounds crazy to someone in their right mind, but it sounds perfectly logical to liberals; especially to liberals like former V.P. Al Gore, who stand to make tons of money (read: billions of dollars) off of Global Warming, or to those who want to use this hoped-for calamity of Global Warming to persuade us to accept it when they say we need to turn our lives upside and elect them to political office so they can tell us what is best for us. Liberals love paternalism, you know.

I still remember blowing the minds of those physics teachers

I remember it was the summer of 2003 when a group of physics teachers and I were verbally fencing over the merits of the Global Warming scar that was then so current, and so frightening to so many people. I recall to this day the look on the faces of those physics teachers when I told them I did not believe the Global Warming phenomenon was real any more than I had believed the Global Cooling phenomenon was real, when it was all the rage some 30 or 40 years before.

A torrent of apocalyptic predictions were unleashed

I am sure many of you are mature enough to know that all this modern hooey about the weather got its start way back in the 1970s. You may know that the first Earth Day was in fact celebrated in 1970, but you may not

know that the fear then was the fear of Global Cooling, and many scientists were saying we were headed for Global Freezing, if we didn’t change our ways. Yes, the build up to that first Earth Day provoked a torrent of weather related apocalyptic predictions, none of which was destined to be proved true.

Calamities are the liberals best friend

As I write this today, it has long since become clear that political liberals seek ways to promote dire predictions promising great calamities, because they need these calamities to promote their liberal agendas; knowing that without them, no one would listen to the always drastic measure liberal always tell us are the cure for what supposedly ails us.

Anyway…back to those teachers. They were young enough that they had never come across anyone with the courage to make such an outrageous statement to their face about something they were so sure was true beyond a shadow of a doubt. After all, this was their area of expertise; so how dare I presume to tell them anything about physics. Unknown to them, their outrage was about to increased, which it did when I told them that throughout my lifetime—I’ve been around trudging through life for a while—the headlines coming out of the popular press had alternated between global warming and global cooling every few years. Their outrage began to turn to embarrassment when I showed them online proof that the weather fear of the moment had changed polarity several times over the years.

Part of the upset of those teachers was understandable. You see, they were Filipina physics teachers, who were concerned that a large part of their country, which is composed of a whole passel of islands, would disappear if the world’s oceans got much warmer.

Global Warming is not a farce, it is a terrible, costly lie

I hope for their sakes that by now those teachers realize that Global Warming is a terrible lie. If not, perhaps someone good soul will pass this article on to them. They may or may not accept the partly tongue-in-cheek jab at global warming that is given in the article below, but it will certainly serve as another blow to their misplaced belief, and perhaps even stopped them from teaching the lie of global warming to more of their students.

In the future, when you think of Global Warming, remember, it is not a farce to be laughed at. Rather it is a terrible, costly lie perpetrated on an unsuspecting, and, let’s face it, a sometimes ignorant, electorate to further their nefarious agendas and to feather their monetary nests.

That’s all for me, folks, for now. Click the headline below and profit, and enjoy.

1. How “An Inconvenient Truth” Has Become Very Convenient Lately
2. The Great Mockery: Climate-change

The much-ballyhooed global meeting of representatives of 192 +/- nations seeking so far elusive common ground on the issue of climate change got under way under a threatening cloud of doubt Monday. Some of these people strongly this is humanity’s last chance to stop global warming. The motive of some of these people is perhaps more sinister. Some, and perhaps many of them, are aiming at instituting a one-world government as part of the fallout from this supposed climate-change catastrophe cum hoax.

According to United Nations’ climate chief, Yvo de Boer, “The clock has ticked down to zero.” He was probably thinking at the time as much about the movement in public opinion away from the idea of global warming as about any man-made scientific deadline.

From now until December 18, delegates will try to knock out some of the most perplexing details in the pursuit of a global climate deal. Among those: getting some of the bigger polluters like the United States, China, and India to commit to deliver what could ultimately be hundreds of billions in financing to help the poor countries with their part in of problem. As always, of the three nations mentioned, only the United States is expected to actually pony up much money.

Several countries, including China, Brazil, the United States and most recently India and South Africa announced new emissions goals that are considered quite feeble by standards set by many of the climate control participants.

The global climate change meet-up started off with a slickly-produced video appeal from children around the world asking to be saved from what looked like an apocalyptic future. This regrettable video was intended to spur the participants to produce favorable results.

Connie Hedegaard, the Danish minister presiding over the conference speaking of the recent string of emissions commitments, said, “Every positive announcement will improve our changes of staying below the two-degree-Celsius target, but as we all know only too well,: she added, “we are not there yet.” Two degrees Celsius is the climate scientists recommended cap on temperature increases.

Miss Hedegaard went on to admit that the financing required to fund any emissions cut commitments will be the bigger challenge.

Rajendra K. Pachauri, the chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, had pointed remarks for those who “find it difficult to accept” climate change science after email messages and files allegedly stolen from a British climate research center recently raised questions about data manipulation among some leading climate scientists.

To counter bring our attention to those damning emails, Dr.Pachauri went on to point out a list of trends that suggest global warming.

The mood among negotiators and other participants was one of cautious optimism. The American, Jonathan Pershing, the State Department’s special envoy for climate said at the opening plenary session that he saw strong evidence the conference would prove critical to moving forward on curbing emissions and helping poor countries limit vulnerability to climate hazards. He was certain the decision by more than 100 leaders, including President Obama, to attend would give their efforts a strong boost.

He also said he saw no indication that efforts could be blunted by Saudi Arabia and other countries that have raised concerns about climate findings based on the e-mail scandal.

The environmental group, Friends of the Earth, sent an open letter that condemned what it called “undemocratic practices adopted by the Danish presidency of convening small and exclusive groups of countries before the Copenhagen meeting”—a reference to the rumored existence of an “alternate” treaty document being readied by some big players in the negotiations, including conference organizers, should efforts to sort out differences on the current text prove undoable.

Other blocs — including China — are rumored to be working on similar alternative documents of their own.

Meanwhile, in what appeared to be an unprecedented action, 50 or so newspapers around the world published the identical editorials calling for “decisive action” in Copenhagen.

“In scientific journals the question is no longer whether humans are to blame, but how little time we have got left to limit the damage,” read the editorial, spearheaded by Britain’s Guardian newspaper. “Yet so far the world’s response has been feeble and half-hearted.”

Continued inaction, the authors asserted, would ravage the planet and wreak havoc on economies and livelihoods.

“The politicians in Copenhagen have the power to shape history’s judgment on this generation. . . .” In conclusion the editorial added, “We implore them to make the right choice.”

1. The Great Mockery: Climate-change
2. Globalism vs. Americanism

With a lot of journalists, plus delegates and advocates heading for the big meet up there, Copenhagen is being billed as the Earth’s last chance to curb the carbon footprint we humans are accused of exacerbating everyday by using of common everyday conveniences and conveyances like cheap coal-generated electricity and gasoline- and diesel-fueled cars and trucks.

The organizers of this extravagant outing to Copenhagen hope to produce binding caps on emissions, global taxation to redistribute trillions of dollars, and micromanage everyone’s choices of almost everything; and what they forget to micromanage this time, they will surely not overlook at next opportunity.

Just to give you a hint of how the players are lining up to help, here is what the top two players on the world stage have in mind. China will give a tiny bit by promising to reduce its carbon footprint, which means in effect its emissions will continue to rise; while, on the other hand, our lord-high, ultraliberal ruler, B. Hussein Obama, understanding well the histrionics required in climate-change debates, promises that U.S. emissions in 2050 will be 83 percent below 2005 levels. If that happens, it will mean 2050 emissions will be equal to those of 1910, when there were about 92 million Americans. But there will be closer to 420 million American in 2050, which means that for Obama’s promise to be fulfilled per capita emissions then will have to be about what they were in 1875. Folks. That. Ain’t. Gonna. Happen. So why will B. Hussein promise that? Well, that’s just the measure of man; that’s why

Newly discovered emails and documents from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) in Britain—a collaborator with the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—reveals some scientists’ willingness to deliberately exclude or knead data and manipulate the peer-review process and publication of scholarly work. The CRU materials reveal how their paranoid scientists believe that in trying to engineer a consensus about global warming, they are a brave and persecuted minority. This is without a doubt the first time in peacetime history that the government-media-academic complex has been in such an enduring propaganda-mongering lockstep about any subject.

An odd lesson is to be found in the CRU materials: Climate scientists should not let themselves be goaded by the irresponsibility of deniers into overstating the certainties of complex science or, worse, censoring discussion of them.” Do you think these scientists overstated and censored because they were “goaded” by skepticism?

If their science as undisputable as they insist it is, and if the consensus among scientists is as broad as they say it is, and if they were brave as they claim to be, they would not be “goaded” into such intellectual depravity. Nor would they gaudily bandy the word “deniers” to decry skepticism that shocks communicants in the faith-based global warming community.

Skeptics about the shrill certitudes concerning catastrophic man-made warming are skeptical because climate change is constant: From time immemorial down to the Medieval Warm Period (800 to 1300), through the Little Ice Age (1500 to 1850), and ever since, climate change has always been a certainty. Skeptics doubt that scientists’ models, which cannot explain the present, can infallibly map the distant future.

In a peculiar response to the CRU materials, The Financial Times wrote: The scientific case for alarm about global warming “is growing more rather than less compelling.” Meanwhile the CRU wrote in an email that: “The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment”—this “moment” is in its second decade—”and it is a travesty that we can’t.”

The travesty is the intellectual arrogance of the authors of climate-change models that are partially based on the problematic practice of reconstructing long-term prior climate changes. It is on such models they want us to wager trillions of dollars—and a substantially diminished freedom.

Some climate scientists compound their delusions of intellectual adequacy with messiah complexes; supposing themselves a small intelligentsia entrusted with the most urgent truth ever discovered. That being the case, some of them consider it virtuous to embellish facts, exaggerate certainties, suppress inconvenient data, and manipulate the peer-review process to suppress scholarly dissent and, above all, to declare that the debate is over.

Consider the sociology of science, the push and pull of interests, incentives, appetites and passions. Governments’ attempts to manipulate Earth’s temperature now comprise one of the world’s largest industries. Tens of billions of dollars are being dispensed by the U.S. Energy Department, which has suddenly become, in effect, a huge venture capital operation, speculating in green technologies. Political, commercial, academic, and journalistic prestige and advancement can be contingent on not disrupting the (claimed) consensus that is driving the gigantic and fabulously lucrative industry of repelling global warming.

Copenhagen is the culmination of all the prior maneuvering by people determined to fix the world’s climate by breaking the world’s—and especially America’s—resistance to the ever-more-minute supervision by governments. It is not as if Copenhagen will be the last chance of the climate-change crowd; Copenhagen is meant to be a prologue for the 2010 climate change summit in Mexico City, which will be planet Earth’s last chance, until the next one.

Folk, do you suspect a one-world collectivist government is the real endgame being played out by the liberals in this government-media-academic complex, which hopes to deliver binding caps on emissions, global taxation to redistribute trillions of dollars, and micromanage everyone’s choices of almost everything? All of a sudden there appears to be an international consensus gaining momentum that believes this is the endgame of all this climate-change hysteria that has been espoused by such liberals as, former V.P. Albert Gore.

Think about it; it is true that almost to a man, everyone involved in this government-media-academic complex has a liberal bias, and it is true that liberals—like Obama, Albert Gore, and, don’t forget, Jimmie Carter and Bill Clinton—always think that government is the answer to all our ills, and they are sure we can not survive, much less flourish, without their help and guidance.

It would appear that “Climate-change” or “Global Warming,” as it is frequently known has now been shown for “The Great Mockery” it is and quite possibly the greatest mockery the world has ever known.

I have an idea that this farce is far from over. Let us hope though that its defeat is in the offing.
