Maha, pretty much everything you’ve said is spot on…
Good Stuff! Keep fighting the good fight!!!

Follow the money. Co2 makes up less than one half a percent of global gasses. Volcanos alone produce over 10 times more Co2 than man. Gore has made over 2 hundred million and stands to make billions with his carbon trading. I am all for alternative enrgy and weaning ourselves off of oil, but this is a huge financial scam that will cost us trillions and leave our country vulnerable. Since when are questions by brilliant scientists dismissed so readily? Our politicians have sold us out for campaign donations and the American people are ignored. We are going through a cooling period and we will not be deluged with a 10 meter rise of the oceans in the next few decades. Every Amnerican should read “National Contender” ordered through any major bookstore or e-mail me at ten.tsacmocnull@snommis_de and I will send you a free copy. It is a political thriller that beautifully describes how our politicians make laws for donors and not the people. Science and common sense is ignored. Gore’s movie was a fraud. Only one polar bear colony out of 17 is not growing, Mt. Kilaminjaro has lost snow due to deforestation, the hockey stick graph of climate change. Aeronautical charts have changed 2 degrees and his movie showed ice lost on one side and not growth on the other. A new half million square ice field has been properly identified just recently. He lives his life contrary to what he preaches and will not hold open debates. No one can question him. Scientist dependent on government funds are spreading this propaganda. Our news agencies are controlled by a handful of entities with their own agenda. Saul Alinsky (American Communist professor who Hillary wrote her thesis about and Obama has praised in the past) wrote that you may have to destroy an economy to make the people dependent on government. I want to hear open debates, not be spoonfed fear to line the pockets of less than honorable people. Read National Contender and you will be shocked at the corruption in DC.

Mankind used to get het up about religion. Then it was politics. Now it is climate change which is changing into a religion.

Sitting in the audience last year as James Lovelock calmly explained how observations in the field were showing that climate change was greater and more rapid than even the most pessimistic IPCC scenarios, an idea struck me. Climate Change Denialists, and please do not call these liars and imbeciles sceptics-a sceptic is open to reason, which these ideological fanatics definitely are not-will cause far more deaths than the Nazis. We have clearly already passed a ‘tipping-point’ at somewhere between 350 and 400 parts of CO2 per million, and the resultant ecological collapse will, through drought, water shortages, agricultural failures, sea-level rises and worsening cyclones and wild-fires, and the wars of desperate survival that will inevitably ensue, cause millions, if not billions of premature deaths. It may even end our civilization
In these circumstances I believe it imperative that an International Court for Crimes against the Environment and Humanity must eventually be set up. Those who lied, misrepresented and distorted the science for pecuniary, ideological or base personal psychopathological reasons, and those who financed them and provided propaganda services for them, must face justice and condign punishment. We owe no less to the untold masses whose lives are about to be devastated.

Don, I wasn’t talking about fuel — that again is singled out to fearmonger, rob and control ordinary people. The real problems and crimes are those intentionally and needlessly committed by government (military, research institutions, corporations.. all the same thing) the type of things that don’t make the headlines, the focus however is always on the ordinary individual as the problem in order to get people to fight each other. You can make weather models do anything — they are sensitive to the smallest changes rendering them useless . For example, the IPCC itself admits that they have no idea what is emitted from military aircraft and do not even mention the massive crimes of weather and atmospheric manipulation and experimentation that’s on going. We’re in trouble alright, but you’ve got your focus on completely the wrong thing. How does getting rid of your light bulb, a major campaign for Greenpeace in the UK, going to stop, for example, deforestation, or the war industry, or the non stop burning of gas flares produced in oil extracted by our western governments (=corporations) which are the major contributers to CO2 and which totally dwarf what you or any ordinary person contributes? It’s a war on the individual.

A global warming much smaller than weather
fluctuations has the potential for dramatic effects, e.g., by setting in motion future large sea level change,
species extinction, and various other impacts. James Hansen
I wonder what are those various other impacts?

Let’s see about 4 billion years ago water first came to the planet and it rained not for forty day’s and forty nights but it rained for millions of years. After that little rain about 90% of the Earth was covered in water. About 500 million years ago the Earth was covered in ice. Well because of volcanic activity that ice melted you see more CO 2 in the atmosphere and then dinosaurs started to walk on the Earth. Then a very large rock hit the Earth and no more dinosaurs. Then about two hundred thousand years ago humans started to walk on Earth not 6,000 years ago. Humans have been very lucky good weather, climate for the most part. Now humans are very hard workers and just love to build things there seems to be one thing that they have a hard time with when to stop. You know more is better. Well humans now have taken out of the Earth about half the fossil fuels that it took about 300 million years to make. We have burned those fossils and in turn put the CO 2 back into the atmosphere and it looks like there are plans in the works to burn more probably not a good idea. Anyway what does Obama think of Hilary or Hilary thing of Obama”s middle name. We have to keep asking ourselves those hard questions. Heck what about these ball players did they take steroids to hit the ball faster or over the fence? You mean just a shot and I can do this, Ok or they could have had a cup of coffee.

The idea that humans are changing the climate of planet earth is absolutely absurd.

Cyclical is the word best used to describe THE POSSIBLE changes our climate is experiencing right now.

To say that humans are responsible for “global warming” is, IMHO, an ignorant and arrogant statement of astounding proportions.

Alright let’s try this. I have heard some people call the space program the apidimy of man’s knowledge. There is other example like Iceland. I was watching one of the financial channels the other day and the markets are the apidimy of man’s greed. I am sure there are more but that is a good one. Some bad economic news had just come out and one man in New York who was stressed out said, “come on we will be just fine look at China a new coal fired power plant every four day’s things are still cooken”. He got the cooken part right. It is much more than that. The addiction to that easy money is very strong and a hard habit to break. I mean 85 million barrels of oil a day worldwide that’s pretty much it and will get less not more and yet the thinking is still big cars and keep moving the economy’s forward and the more the better. I am sure they see the problems with that including climate change but the addiction is stronger. It makes them fool themselves in to believing we can still go forward in the same way. A little secret without the help of big business we can’t solve climate change. The only problem is profit all that money can’t be the reason to move forward. I guess you could make a little or break even to change the way we produce energy worldwide but right now how much is enough for one man 200 million 4 billion it is never enough. In world war two how did it work. Because to go after climate change it looks like that hard or harder.

We only have a few more years to slow climate change down. Yes wars use a lot of fuel and corporations use a lot of fuel. American drivers use a lot of fuel and on and on. James Hansen stood up to the Bush administration and told the truth. If you read what I just sent that Hansen wrote at the end he said his new paper will be out in a few day’s. I have a feeling that paper will include the hard choices. We are running out of time so we have to use what we got. Putting war on hold until we can get it right is part of the solution and just maybe keep it that way. I guess Obama as President is part of the solution we have to be realistic as one person is not going to solve this problem. It looks like the World economy’s are headed South and will help a little but in some way’s makes it harder. We waited to long the only way now is to slow down until we can get this right. That is a very hard choice but has many side benefits like the survival of the human race. Even if we stop burning things to make energy today every year there will be more extreme weather it will continue to change but there is still time to slow this down. Very stuff times ahead no matter how this play’s out. In many way’s the media, politicians have been coning the public for so long I think now they are fooling themselves. There is one thing about climate change it effects poor, rich, men, women, kids, big people and not just the poorer countries the whole planet. Yes the poorer countries in some way’s have there set of problems but so do the developed countries if you can call it that. That’s my story today and I am sticking to it.

Don, d’you expect people to believe data coming out of NAZA?
The aim of the Rockefeller funded Green movement is fearmongering and depopulation (see eg. OPT members — former Friends of the Earth alongside Jane Goodall demanding 70% depopulation), and so their focus is on co2, ignoring all the massive crimes of the military, corporations, etc against the environment, land, water, air, weather and atmosphere. You are indeed very “green” if you believe co2 is the culprit for any climate change. If people knew anything about the climate models and data gathering used they would not be so ready to follow like sheep and tell everyone to “cut the talk and act”.

You can have these people talk and other people talk but we need to get started on this. Read this by James Hansen.

Yes, the Bush administration made sure everybody bought a big new SUV or monster truck before they got the gas prices to go up. Gas prices probably wouldn’t have gone up nearly so much, if everyone had continued to drive reasonable cars.
