News Snipet 'Blog

I discuss global warming on a lot of blogs. Global warming is a primary concern to many people. It seems to have trumped world poverty and disease, and the discussion of our freedoms, and seems to be second only to the war in Iraq. The following post is my official position on climate change. I am posting it for friends or fellow bloggers for purpose of referral.

Jack's Official Global Warming...Climate Change Position

1. I believe there may be global warming. Of course, the jury is still out on that one, but I don't particularly discount it.

2. I believe that science is too young to factually establish that global warming is anthropogenic. I am not saying that it isn't anthropogenic, just that it has not been established.

3. I believe that we have a generation of scientist who are untrustworthy in their presentation of data. While science doesn't lie, scientist are subject to the shortcomings of any human and have and do.

4. I believe that even if it is established that there is global warming and that it is anthropogenic, that it would hardly be possible to predict that it will be a crisis of monumental proportions that will bring about the extinction of our planet and its lifeforms.

5. I believe that the contemporary issue is driven more by politics and ideology than science, and it has tainted any evidence we have one way or the other beyond its usability. If the debate became strictly scientific we may arrive at a conclusive position, but until that happens we never will.

---

Expansion on points above:

1. Global warming AND cooling is supported scientifically. It has happened since the planet has been here. Apparently it is a natural cycle that existed eons before man even walked the planet, and quite possibly will happen long after we're gone.

2. As long as there are two opposing "scientific views" with supportable scientific data, it is not an established fact that we are going to face catastrophe from anthropogenic global warming. Neither side has an established case, nor can it. The jury is still out--if you have made up your mind already you are either:

1. Ignorant,
2. Gullible, or
3. An ideological nut case.

(And I say this will all due respect!)

3. Keep in mind that it has been scientists (not science) that has told us that:

the world was flat,

that a nuclear bomb detonation would destroy the whole world,

that leaching blood would cure disease,

that the earth's population today would be 10 times greater than it is,

that the universe revolves around the earth,

that the Titanic was unsinkable,

that continents do not shift, etc.

It is also scientist who have lived off the accumulation of unbelievable sums of money in the name of science. SETI comes to mind--an amazingly expensive mechanism and project listening for the mother ship--aliens! I'm amazed they didn't hear the ET's that came and took away all those poor souls from the Heaven's Gate cult. It would be foolish to believe that the countless monies being spent on global warming research does insert a degree of bias into the "scientific" equation.

Scientific error, says Robert Park, "has a way of evolving ... from self-delusion to fraud. I use the term voodoo science to cover them all: pathological science, junk science, pseudoscience, and fraudulent science." In pathological science, scientists fool themselves. Junk science refers to scientists who use their expertise to befuddle and mislead others (usually juries or lawmakers). Pseudoscience has the trappings of science without any evidence. Fraudulent science is, well, fraud--old-fashioned lying.

4. Man has been crying the destruction of the world from the street corner for as long as we have recorded history. "Repent, for the day is at hand." is a cry familiar to all of us. As human beings, we are fascinated with catastrophe and crises--it is what sells in our media, what fuels our weather channels, and what dominates our conversation on a daily basis. It is also our propensity to create fantastical scenarios where they are not, sometimes as a means of self-affirmation, sometimes to control the behavior of others, and sometimes simply for the thrill of the moment.

5. This is the crux of the matter. It doesn't matter what the evidence will say. The earth could be covered completely with ice from pole to pole from an ice age and it would not matter. Facts are immaterial to the political and religiously ideological mindset. With the intellectual and powerful--the issue is political, with the ignorant and simple-minded it is ideological. The rich and powerful will use this issue to leverage power and the all-too-willing sheep who follow them will be more than accommodating because of the emotional and spiritual affirmation they receive as a byproduct. While it may be scientists who may be swayed by money to present less than factual data, it is often the hangup of our leaders to exploit issues for their own profit or power. How many "crises" have we faced? Counting down from the most recent: 1. Recession 2. Oil depletion, 3. Energy, 4. Outsourcing, 5. WMD's, 6. Y2K, 7. Asteroid, 8. Ice age. The list is endless.

Also, keep in mind that as we progress, every time there is an climatic anomaly that doesn't support the global "warming" model, the term "climate change" will be used. For example, we have experienced record cool temperatures in the the South United States for this time of year. The reason is because of "climate change", which is "global warming" propagandized. (Sort of like in the '70s when pro-abortion became "pro-choice").

Conclusion:

The News Snipet has been and is about making predictions. The prediction is that governments world-wide will use this issue as a means of increasing taxation and regulation. They will use is as a means of taking freedoms and eliminating personal property. Many people will suffer as a result of draconian policies that are issued based on faulty data. Problems like world poverty and disease will be placed on the back burner for a pipe dream.

Collateral damage in the WAR ON CLIMATE CHANGE.

The Mystery!

It has been discovered that the planet Mars is experiencing global warming since the 1970's in line with our own Earth. Since contemporary science has factually established that Earth's problem is caused by increased CO2 emissions due to human activity, it has left many scientists scratching their heads about Mars. Mars' atmosphere is already 95% carbon dioxide, so even if it increased to 100% it wouldn't make a whole lot of difference--not to account for the rapid warming that we are witnessing on such a grand Martian scale. Scientist have failed to take into consideration other greenhouse gases in this equation however.

A Suspect?

Not long ago, it was reported that greenhouse gas emissions from cows contribute toward our global warming dilemma. Man's insatiable appetite for beef drove a precipitous increase in the bovine population. Earth Church indicated that solutions were being sought for this problem, and everything from cattle-itic converters (attachable smog pumps for cows) to gengineered grass has been considered. Just recently the EU (European Union) suggested a "Cow Bean-o" type approach to decrease alarmingly rising cow emissions.

Putting it together - Mystery Solved!

Since the 1960's cattle abductions have increased. Figure 1. above closely resembles the accepted model used by scientist to prove anthropogenic global warming (fig. 2 below).

There is an observable spike during the "cooling period" during the 1970's in cattle abductions, an anomaly which most assuredly accounted for the decrease in temperatures during that time period on earth, (cattle population dropped precipitously), which started the trend toward warming on Mars in the 1970s*. It is obvious that the increase in the martian cattle population caused increases in that other deadly greenhouse gas, methane, to rise to dangerous levels giving rise to the latest trend in Martian global warming.

Conclusion!

Global warming is taking place on Mars for the same reason it is taking place on earth. It is due to ANTHROPOGENIC greenhouse gases.

MAN AND HIS WANTON APPETITES CREATED A COW GLUT WHICH CAUSED BOVINTHROPOGENIC WARMING WHICH ULTIMATELY HAS LEAD TO ALIENOPOGENIC GLOBAL WARMING. MAN--ULTIMATELY TO BLAME FOR GLOBAL WARMING ON MARS.

*There are two questions brought up here. Why is there a steady increase in cow production in light of so many abductions? Why was there increased alien earth activity during the 70s? Theories under consideration for the first question extend from "herd trimming"-(similar to hunting deer in order to increase deer population) to the "increase in vegans." Theories concerning the second are from "alien fascination with the free love movement" to the "advent of George Lucas' Star Wars."

• Bloggers forced Trent Lott to step down as majority leader for racist comments
• Bloggers uncovered forgery behind Dan Rather's "Bush Military Documents"
• Bloggers, using same scientific criteria earth scientist use to establish anthropenic global warming, uncover link between Mars and Earth's global warming.

SAINTS BE PRAISED! « The Church of the Earth: "NSP. President George W. Bush, one of our newest acolytes, in cooperation with the new church committee formed by Bishop Nancy Pelosi are working on new ways to combat the warming of our Great God/ess Mother Earth. Since it is a known fact that the cow population in the world produce more methane emissions resulting in more CO2 than all of the cars in the world combined, approximately $1 Billion has been appropriated to research to combat cow flatulence.

Green Technologies, a subsidiary of Soros Industries, received a grant of approximately $33 million for a feasibility study for attachable smog pumps. These smog pumps would be attached to the cows’ rear end, and include their own catalytic converter. Proposed legislation that would go along with this would be annual cow emission inspections.

Vegan Biotech, received a grant for $55 million to gengineer grass–biotechnically altering the genetic structure of grass. Initial tests have been inconclusive, but the Bishop Pelosi has already given the go ahead to raize the entire grazing lands world wide and replace it with “Less-Gas Grass” (patent pending).

Other monies have been allocated to Beano to develop Cow-Beano, complete with legislation requiring random blood tests for bovines and a new agency to head this initiative.

• In the name of tolerance, one becomes ultimately intolerant.
• Broad mindedness ultimately becomes narrow-minded.
• Non-discrimination becomes in discrimination which ultimately becomes discrimination.

One can only expect, that the results of this widespread and popular religion will yield the same fruit of any "theocracy."

The banners have been unfurled, and as "Onward Liberal Soldiers, marching as to war" swells from rank and file the machine grinds underfoot any opposition. Collateral damage is expected and acceptable, because the cause is self-affirmingly righteous.

AOL News reports just one example:

"This week's story that no one read and everyone should have is about tortilla riots in Mexico. Yes, tortilla riots. In Mexico. Some 75,000 people protesting the rising price of tortillas.

Not to be overly blunt, but who cares, right? It's just a single grocery item in some other country. But the reason the people are up in arms is more important than anyone realizes.

Poor Mexicans rely on tortillas for their diet. And a lot of other poor people in a lot of other places rely on other foodstuffs made from corn.

The problem is ethanol. Ethanol, that fuel additive that reduces pollution and helps us wean our dependency on foreign oil and makes farmers rich and politicians look silly when they stump in Iowa. As the U.S. adds more ethanol to its gasoline, the price of corn is surging dramatically, leading to extreme market volatility."

While its religious groupies, like Sheryl Crowe who don't comprehend that much of the world can't even afford toilet paper, much less luxuriate in 1-3 sheets, engage in orgiastic consumption, old people are going to die from a lack of heating and cooling.

The blood of millions of innocents drips from the the hands of the world's religions and its warmongers, and this religion is no different.

• This coming winter, many poor people will experience cold like never before because of liberal "green" energy policy and its impact on utilities.
• This coming year, many poor people will go hungry as a result of misguided and moronic policies like the one mentioned above.
• This coming decade more people will be pushed lower down the economic scale as a result of skyrocketing energy prices, regulation and taxation.

All for actions based on "all available evidence" pointing to something that doesn't exist.

Western white liberals, you have lost your moral authority to judge the likes of President Bush and his war machine. Your policies will make he and his cronies look like amateurs. You have lost your moral authority to point at the military-industrial complex and its death and destruction. You have lost your moral authority because your hands are covered with the same filth you claim to loathe.

• Western white liberals used to think.
• Western white liberals used to care.

But what was once a faith, is now just another dominating religion.

Poll Finds Twice as Many Blame Culture as Guns, But ABC Spikes It --4/24/2007-- Media Research Center: "Poll Finds Twice as Many Blame Culture as Guns, But ABC Spikes It

ABC News polling chief Gary Langer, in a posting buried on ABCNews.com, revealed that a poll taken Sunday discovered that when 'asked the primary cause of gun violence, far more Americans blamed the effects of popular culture (40 percent) or the way parents raise their children (35 percent) than the availability of guns (18 percent).' ABC's World News on Monday devoted nearly two minutes to results of ABC's survey, but didn't get to that finding which shows the public does not share the media assumption that gun availability is to blame for the murders at Virginia Tech.

Poll Finds Twice as Many Blame Culture as Guns, But ABC Spikes It --4/24/2007-- Media Research Center: "Fineman to Democrats on Guns: 'You Gonna Do Something Now?!'

Newsweek's Howard Fineman's first instinct when he heard about the Virginia Tech shootings was to call up the Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill and ask for gun control legislation. On this past weekend's syndicated Chris Matthews Show, the Newsweek political reporter admitted 'the first thing he did' was call the Democrats to demand: 'Okay, you gonna do something now?!' "

Crow has suggested using 'only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required'. "

During the Civil War, it was possible for well-to-do men who were drafted to pay a $300 "commutation fee" and escape the draft. The move sparked much public outrage, creating the impression that the war was a "rich man's war" and probably contributing to the disgraceful draft riots in New York City, which led to the lynching of African Americans.

It seems to me that the purchase of carbon credits is a direct imitation of commutation fee. I don't expect to see SUV-deprived soccer moms lunching the wealthy outside of fixed base operator terminals at haunts of private jet-setters like Teterboro and Santa Monica Airports, but I do expect public revulsion to rise and rise, as sacrifices demanded of ordinary people are evaded by the wealthy. The war on global warming seems very much a "rich man's war.""

Yes, Virginia, student visa's for South Koreans kill innocents

Yes, Virginia, video games kill innocents

Truly pathetic...

Labels: contemporary liberals, gun control, idiot control, liberalism, moral relativism

Today's ideologues are so concerned about causes, they have ceased to truly care about the people supposedly represented by them. These people are so "cause" driven they fail to even consider the people they hurt in the process. This demonstrates a degree of "sociopathic" behavior that seems to be epidemic.

The right-wing abortion protester outside of a clinic who engages in hurtful and abusive behavior toward the hurting young client who is trying to enter, is such an example. Another is the warmonger who is unconcerned with "collateral damage."

Consider the left-wing global warming crusader. They will feed into and support hysterical assertions and doomsday scenarios, supported by little evidence, while empowering opportunistic governments and politicians to enact poorly conceived and damaging legislation most directly affecting the poor in their struggle to make a living and provide for their own comfort. Add to this homosexual rights groups who push for sanctions against the Boy Scouts fully understanding that the donations by such organization as the United Way go toward funding the underprivileged (poor)participants.

However...

this mindset has never been more evident than last night, the callousness and uncaring nature of the contemporary ideologue:

Two days ago a man killed 32 people at Virginia Tech. He happened to use a gun to accomplish this. Every news show last night came out in full force with the gun-control advocates to begin advancing the anti-gun agenda. They don't care about the loved ones who lost family or friends, they could care less that people's worlds are upside down. They couldn't wait ten minutes to get themselves in front of the camera to begin pounding away at their message. The only thing they care about is their cause, no matter who they hurt.

Dare I say, that many even seemed gleeful for the opportunity the Virginia Tech massacre afforded them.

Collateral damage--nothing more.

What a sick and repugnant nation we have become.

Case in point - It does not take long before truth is affirmed. Read this and weep.

Wellesley Class Sees ‘One of Us’ Bearing Standard - New York Times: "For her Wellesley classmates, Hillary Clinton’s quest to become the first female president is a generational mirror.

They were there for her fiery commencement speech, delivered at the height of the Vietnam War, when she described her class’s search for a “more immediate, ecstatic and penetrating mode of living” and said that every protest was “unabashedly an attempt to forge an identity in this particular age.” The speech landed Hillary Rodham in the spotlight as a celebrated archetype of a new generation of women. “We were very proud of her: she was a feminist; she was outspoken,” said Jane Moss, a classmate who now teaches French at Colby College. “Hillary was speaking for all of us, for a generation that felt we weren’t being heard.”"
