Watch Obama closely on global warming

In Poland recently, representatives of the European Union were discussing ways to look like soldiers in the war against global warming while once more dodging the draft, and outside there were the usual sorts of doomsday-prognosticating protesters. Some were dressed as penguins, devils and polar bears, it’s reported.
The uniforms strike me as about right, although I also think clown clothes and makeup would be appropriate for many of the loudest worriers about climate change, such as Al Gore and Arnold Schwarzenegger. That’s not to say they will fail to get their way as a new president takes office amidst whoppers about how Europe is all progress on this issue while dumb, selfish America is lagging.
The truth that the United States did more to control carbon emissions than Europe during one recently measured period as President Bush took some modest, common-sense precautions and European nations took bows for signing a Kyoto treaty most of the signatories then ignored. The all-show-no-go European Union’s recent conference in Poland produced some tough, new goals along with a plentitude of escape hatches, rendering these goals meaningless from the start.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
It’s a clever strategy, and one that President-elect Barack Obama ought to emulate, given that virtually any program to make energy more costly at this time of economic peril would be catastrophic while achieving something on the order of nothing. A voice of wisdom on the issue is that of William Nordhaus, a Yale economics professor who says the best means to avoid throwing trillions of dollars away to little avail is a coordinated, phased-in program of carbon taxes for the whole world.
But even the Nordhaus analysis rests on assumptions about warming that may not hold up, just as Obama’s dire forecasts are not so clearly factual as he said in a video message to a governors climate session in California. He spoke of rising sea levels, shrinking coastlines, record droughts, spreading famines and “storms that are growing with each passing hurricane season.”
Hooey, says Bjorn Lomborg, a Copenhagen statistician who has written that sea levels were rising long before the recent warming, that many coastlines in the world have been getting larger, that soil moisture has been increasing in the world, that recent famines have much to do with land taken to produce corn for ethanol and that total hurricane force has been on the decrease since 2005.

That is what this whole global warming lie is about . MONEY !!! New ways for thoes who are in control to take even more that isnt theirs to have . There are new cars that are being produced that run on less fuel and some batteries . That is good but now they have new taxes tring to get past in several states that you get a R.F.I.D. tag and they tax us on milage to make up for the lost revenu on gas . Whats next the horse and buggy ? then we will be taxed on the emissions from the horse .

Al Gore has really stepped in it this time. He could have spent the rest of his global warming career collecting money by spreading fear over events that were a centure or at least half century in the future. Oh, but that wasn’t good enough for Big Al. He’s now told the biggest global warming whopper of his alarmist career:
AL GORE HAS GUARANTEED THAT THE NORTHERN POLAR ICE CAP WILL BE COMPLETELY GONE IN FIVE YEARS!!!
When I heard this I assumed it was a rumor started by skeptics to make Gore look bad. It wasn’t until I viewed the video that I realized what Gore had done. Gore has started a five year credibility countdown timer ticking and it’s up to all of us to make sure that he is held accountable and proven to be a fraud when his dire prediction aimed at drumming up support doesn’t come close to comming true.
The mainstream media isn’t going to let this video see the light of day because they, unlike Al, understand the precarious position in which he has placed himself.
It is therefore up to us to spread the word about Big Al’s prediction. He must be exposed for the fearmongering opportunist that he has become.
To view the video, please visit the following site and click on the picture of Big Al holding up five fingers.

While visiting this site, you might want to watch a preview of the film “Not Evil, Just wrong” or watch “The Great Global Warming Swindle” which is found in the video section. Happy Viewing!!!
