Climate Change "Deniers" Disappearing Faster Than Glaciers

                 Weathermen- and others- who dare to question accepted climate change gospel have been disappearing like clothes at a nudist camp. Philippe Verdier, a popular (though now former) French weather reporter, recently announced via an online video that he had received a letter of dismissal. He stated, “My book, ‘Climate Investigation,’ was published one month ago. It got me banned from the airwaves.” Verdier was put “on leave” from the TV station back on October 12^th. He told RTL radio station shortly thereafter, “I received this letter this morning and decided to open it in front of you because it concerns everybody in the name of freedom of expression and freedom of information. I put myself in the path of COP21, which is a bulldozer, and this is the result.”

                Verdier decided to write the book after French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius met with television meteorologists and asked them to highlight climate change issues in their broadcasts prior to the summit. “I was horrified by this speech,” he confided to the French magazine Les Inrockuptibles. His book accuses state-funded climate change scientists of having been manipulated and politicized and asserts that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) knowingly publishes misleading data and has “blatantly erased” data contradicting their conclusions. Moreover, Verdier points out that there are “a great many positive consequences to global warming,” such as lower consumption of fuel used for heating and fewer cold-related deaths in winter. “I am being punished for exercising my freedom of expression,” he told RTL. Mr. Verdier asserts that the UN, through its climate agenda, “Wants to make us perpetual victims of fear.” He charges top climatologists with “taking the world hostage.” He believes there is a conspiracy of interests linking government, NGO’s, science, mainstream media, and religion. He was put on indefinite “forced holiday.” Unions at France Television have called for him to be fired.

                Quentin Letts is a British journalist and theater critic who writes for several popular British newspapers. Earlier this year he made what he termed “a jaunty little Radio 4 programme called ‘What’s The Point Of The Met Office?’” which he intended to be light and amusing fair.  In the program he had fun with the U.K.’s national public weather service and its views on global warming. This triggered a lobbying campaign by environmental activists and the program was summarily removed from the BBC’s iPlayer playback facility. To quote part of a line from a beloved Monty Python sketch, it has “simply ceased to be.”

                Former Democratic congressional candidate and progressive American University statistician Dr. Caleb Rossiter had the unmitigated gall to say that belief in climate catastrophe is “simply not logical.” He wrote an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal describing man-made global warming as an “unproved science.” Two days later, the Institute for Policy Studies sent him an e-mail, sacking him.

                A month prior to Rossiter’s dismissal, Swedish meteorologist and climatologist Lennart Bengtsson was essentially forced to resign from the Global Warming Policy Foundation after being told his views on climate change were “incorrect.”

                Mark Steyn, one of this author’s favorite scribes, was forbidden by court injunction to write for the National Review after challenging a certain professor’s “hockey stick graph” depiction of global warming.

                Feel a chill yet? You should.

                The climate change crowd changed after a New York City debate held in 2007 in which the skeptics annihilated the believer’s arguments and claims. This event/occurrence was dutifully ignored by the mainstream media and as a result almost no one took note. Ironically, these two facts in concert with each other prompted the believers to decide that their best course of action was to simply declare that the debate was over, that there is no debate…man-caused climate change was a fact of life.

                And then they got intolerant. And shrill…crazy…and violent, spewing the vilest of hate speech and shedding logic, reason… their minds. The Gawker website suggested that authorities should “jail deniers.” Some called for Nuremberg-style trials. Others claimed that Deniers were committing “terracide.” (The killing of planet Earth). A June, 2009, Talking Points Memo website post asked, “At what point do we jail or execute global warming deniers.” (Italics/emphasis mine). The post continued, “So when the right wing f--ktards have caused it to be too late to fix the problem, and we start seeing the devastating consequences and we start seeing end of the world type events- how will we punish those responsible? It will be too late. So shouldn’t we start punishing them now?” Yes, screw the rule of law and the tired old bromide, “innocent until proven guilty.” What have they ever done for mankind?

                By that literally insane “reasoning” we should just incarcerate or execute all Muslims now before they prove to be terrorists. What if the climate ignores their fondest hopes and feral wishes and doesn’t warm up in the near future? What if, instead, global cooling sets in again like climatologists were certain was the case in the 1970’s? (What if we had just jailed or executed all global cooling deniers then?!). Will they say, “Oops,” or not even care as they believe they are higher powers exempt from accountability? And, “f--ktard?” Really?  Short for f--king retard? I thought that was a politically incorrect term. But it is obvious that the pathetic, hypocritical, literarily-challenged morons exempt themselves from accountability for “hate-speech,” as a quick glance at the comments on any given political website makes clear.

                And then, in June of 2009, a member of Climate Progress defended a post on his website warning that climate change skeptics would be strangled in their beds for rejecting the view that we face a man-made climate crisis. “An entire generation will soon be ready to strangle you and your kind while you sleep in your beds,” read the post.

                These climate change NAZIS are, ultimately, in a sense, equally as dangerous as Islamic terrorists. They accost and accuse innocent people and “offer” them the same choices as radical Islamists…convert, be imprisoned or heavily taxed, or be killed.

                I have often expounded here  on my climate change views, so I hope I don’t become the victim of such outrageous hatred and have people who want to silence me-

The Third Democratic Debate: Hear It Here First...Now!

                Now that the final Republican debate of 2015 is behind us, the nation breathlessly awaits the next Democratic debate.

                Fortunately, a startling breakthrough in technology has allowed me to see a short time into the future, thus enabling me to bring you the transcript of the upcoming Democratic presidential debate on ABC that will take place in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Saturday, December 19^th, before anyone has even taken the stage. IBM’s extraordinary new “Vaticinator I” reveals the debate in advance for you now.

                David Muir and Martha Raddatz moderate. Here it is- and you’re welcome:

*David Muir: I just first want to say how courageous it was of all three of you candidates, in conjunction with the DNC, to dispense with WMUR and their anti-union policies.

*All the candidates in unison: Thank you for those wise and kind words, David, I hope your family is enjoying the holiday treats I sent them.

*DM: They certainly are, thank you all. Let’s start with you, Hillary, my love…what will you do to expand upon the policies our current Dear Leader has pursued that have recently brought such honor and respect to an otherwise unexceptional nation?

*HC: Well, Davey, I just have such respect for the First Amendment and freedom of speech and what you guys in the mainstream media do, that I (choking up)…I’m sorry, I’m just feeling a lot of love and kindness these days. I might add…screw the bleeping Second Amendment though! I don’t know what those old white male bastards were thinking! (Applause). Ha, Ha…thank you all, you’re so kind…I love you all!

*MR: Mr. Sanders, you’ve rightfully called for equal wealth distribution, but do you believe that’s really possible, I mean in light of the fact that the wealthy are such clever, tight bastards?

*BS: Well, Martha, I think we should trust but verify. We’ll trust that 98% top marginal tax rates on the rich will result in an earthly utopia, but we will sure as hell verify that they are paying them!

*MR: I love you…I mean, thank you, Mr. Sanders, sir.

DM: Mr. O’Malley, why are you on the stage tonight?

MO: I’m sorry, what do you mean?

DM: You’re polling at, like, three percent…Hillary’s at close to 50 percent and Bernie’s above 35 percent…so?

MO: I still think it’s better to-

DM: Quiet, frat boy. Anyway, Mrs. Clinton, if you could be any country, which one would you be…and why?

HC: Well, I think I’d like to be Liechtenstein. I just like the way it sounds, I guess.

MO: Oh for crying out loud!

DM: Zip it, loser!

MR: Bernie, you are so, so right in calling for everyone to receive the exact same amount of remuneration regardless of their job status, work ethic, intelligence, discipline and so forth, but do you believe the biased, bigoted, ignoramuses that populate talk radio and internet sites will let your common sense policies come to fruition?

BS: Well, Martha, if elected, I plan to push for passage of the Fairness Doctrine. This law would essentially put an end to any voices dissenting from sanity.  I might add, it was last seriously considered under the first Billary administration, in 1993.

DM: Hillary, I mean Mrs. Clinton… love that pantsuit by-the-way…your response?

HC: Well, you know, I am all for the Fairness Doctrine…always have been.

DM: A follow-up question, if I may, Mrs. Clinton?

HC: By all means.

DM: If you could be a color, just one color, what color would you choose to be?

HC: You don’t mean skin color, do you?

DM: Of course not!

HC: Okay then, I think I’d be…………fuchsia!

DM: Lovely…and unique! I apologize to you all, but I have to bring up this topic, if only because “The Donald” (makes rude gesture with hands) stepped in it so badly. Could each of you, in turn, starting with President-excuse me- Mrs. Clinton, clarify your position on illegal immigration?

HC: You mean ‘undocumented immigrant,’ right?

DM: Quite right! I’m sorry for the slip-up!

BS: I believe the correct term is ‘new American!’

DM: Even better! Again, I’m humbled!

MR:  Alright, closing remarks if you please candidates, starting with you Mr. O’Malley.

MO: Let me just say this about the previous unaddressed-

MR: Thank you. Bernie?

BS: Everything should be free! Except to rich people, ‘cuz they have money.

MR: Well stated, sir, well stated, indeed. The last word is yours, Mrs. Clinton.

HC: I’d just like to say that Donald Trump is the Devil, and he is anti-woman, unlike my venerable husband, who has fought for women’s rights for many years. And, lastly, thank you all so much for coming to this wonderful debate tonight. Love and kindness to you all! (waves to crowd and camera)

Swedish Citizens Receive Terror Notices

                     Numerous Swedish citizens have received “letters” notifying them that they will be beheaded if they don’t convert to Islam…in three days or less. The “notices” were slipped under the doors of these citizens dwellings. They state: “In the name of Allah, the merciful, full of grace, you who are not believers will be decapitated in three days in your own house. We will bomb your rotten corpses afterwards.”  

                Not to worry, though. The terrorists were merciful enough-and full of enough grace- to leave them an out. All that those threatened have to do- to avoid losing their heads and dispense with the corpse bombing- is pay a jizwa, or religious tax. How, exactly, they might do this is unclear. Pay-Pal? Three easy monthly installments?

                Convert, enslave/tax or kill. Basic Islamic doctrine for dealing with infidels. This doesn’t seem all that unreasonable in light of the recent climate summit agreement. The people of Western (Christian) industrialized nations have also “been given a choice” in recent years. Convert to belief in man-caused climate change or be mocked, scorned and smeared by the intelligentsia. Now, post Parisian summit, they are also being forced to pay a large (but undefined) climate tax, or “jipsu.”

Hillary Clinton Has A New Campaign Slogan!

                The Hillary Rodham Clinton Camp has a new campaign slogan: “Love trumps hate.” Get it?! After recently stating that she was “Proud to have made enemies of Republicans,” she has suddenly embarked on a love and kindness campaign? In Alabama, she recently explained to lawyers that justice means “standing beside love.” I’ll have to check my Webster’s unabridged dictionary, as I thought it meant moral rightness and lawfulness. Hillary isn’t versed in those areas. At any rate, in Atlanta, Mrs. Clinton promised a group of black ministers that she’d run on a “love and kindness platform.” Talk about a total makeover! What’s next, Trump stating that he’s “not worthy” of being president? Perhaps Hillary will reveal her desire to become an “exotic dancer” after leaving office? (That may tie-in with the love and kindness bit, though not to eyewitnesses).

                Democratic pollster Margie Omero said, “That sort of language very much tracks with what a lot of women voters say. They say, ‘Let’s go back to a time in which we’re being nicer to each other.”

                This bogus love and kindness jihad is, of course, blatantly hypocritical. It does nothing to address our most pressing problems, such as radical Islamic terrorism, getting a handle on immigration, reviving the economy, putting people back to work, getting people off the government dole and reducing our nearly $20 trillion national debt.

                In fact, the result of this love and kindness campaign taken to fruition would be ever more “progressive” policies leading to the appeasement of terrorists, unobstructed immigration, a worsening economy, fewer people working to pay for even more folks on the government dole and a continuing increase in our national debt.

                That doesn’t sound like real love and kindness to me, especially not as regards the hard working, law abiding middle class that seven years of Obama administration policies have devastated. (For the first time in memory, the middle class is no longer the majority, as the numbers of poor and very wealthy folks have increased dramatically).

                It does, however tragically, sound like the kind of vapid verbiage that under-informed and overly emotional…especially female…liberals like to traffic in to make themselves feel good.

                As Kevin D. Williamson wrote ( “The Future Is Free,” National Review, Nov. 19, 2015), “You need a little political theory and a little economics to understand the connection between well-ordered liberty and the facts of actual human happiness and actual human flourishing, which is why we conservatives are always at a slight disadvantage in the popular conversation: Understanding things such as comparative advantage and gains from trade is not all that difficult, but it is a hell of a lot more difficult than ‘Here’s a kitten! It’s a nice kitten! Don’t you want to be nice to the nice kitten?’ And that is essentially the Left’s political program…”

                When Hillary states, “Love trumps hate,” it’s just another bimbo eruption.

Scientists Race To Develop New Satellite Technology To Combat Global Warming

                 Scientists from the United States, China, Japan- and possibly other nations- are engaged in a race to perfect satellite technology that will one day measure greenhouse gas emissions from space, likely transforming the winner into the world’s first climate cop. It would give that country the ability to monitor the planet’s emissions quickly and cheaply, as well as the capability to determine individual nation’s net emissions and whether or not that nation had kept its promises to slow global warming.

                And I thought drones were getting intrusive. Talk about your nosy, nagging Nanny State! Big Brother? Big Bossy Brother!

                That’s just what the world needs, a supranational Peeping Tom. “Your Excellency, I'm afraid it’s that creepy Uncle Sam again, he’s peeking in on us to see if we’re being naughty.”

Climate Change Prevention Funding Follies

                The University of Zurich’s Axel Michaelowa studies climate aid grants. That’s right, it’s not enough to study the climate itself, there appears to be a pressing need to study what happens to the large amounts of cash and other booty bequeathed to various entities around the world in the battle against climate change. Michaelowa conducted a study four years ago in order to track what became of specific climate grants.

                What he discovered is neither pretty nor surprising. “There was a huge misrepresentation, governments were actually really not able to report properly” on what became of their aid to help countries reduce carbon dioxide emissions. His study uncovered a large number of “projects without any conceivable climate change connotation.” Among these was Belgium funding for a “love movie festival,” in Africa, over a decade ago. Also among them was a U.S.-funded study on Savannah elephant sounds, and uniforms for park guardians in Central America courtesy of aid from Spain.

                Romain Weikmans, a researcher at Brown University’s Climate and Development Lab, described this governmental non-accountability by saying, “It’s really a process of lying the more you can.” He and Timmons Roberts, a professor at Brown, studied 5,201 projects mentioned by developed nations and claimed that 3,444 of them “did not explicitly link project activities to addressing climate vulnerability.” (Emphasis/italics mine). “Climate finance accounting is the wild west,” Roberts said. Weikmans said that, a few years ago, a 33 million euro pledge from one nation suddenly doubled on the books “thanks only to methodological changes in accounting.” Much like the data on global warming itself!

                It shouldn’t come as a shock to scientists or professors- or anyone else for that matter- that this occurs. Governments constantly utilize “creative” accounting methods and other mathematical slights-of-hand to come up with figures on revenue, spending, taxation, unemployment, current fund levels, et. al.

                Climate change spending has morphed into a feel good global poker game with all proceeds going to… charity? Well, somewhere.

                John Kerry (U.S.): “Well, that’s a nice pot there boys… Francois, we’ll see your $100 billion and raise you a Barbara Streisand concert in Myanmar and an interpretative center on Mt. Kilimanjaro!”

                

Historic Climate Change Agreement Nears Completion

                The nations of the world are purportedly nearing a historic global climate agreement, if media reports out of Paris are to be believed. Most country’s representatives seemed upbeat about the chances to wrap up an agreement this weekend, prior to the end of the conference. Whew, just in the nick of time! Or, as vastly hyperbolized newspaper and website headlines have screamed, “World’s Last Chance!”

                Liu Zhenmin, deputy chief of the Chinese delegation, however, was a bit more cautious and circumspect. “We need heating. We need air conditioning. You need to drive your car,” he stated. Zhenmin therefore cautioned against sharply limiting the number of degrees the planet warms this century. I rarely agree with a representative of the comically named “People’s Republic of China,” but this is one of those times. China should spend some serious money on cleaning up its air, water and land pollution, an effort that would help the health of its citizens, not on a “problem” that is problematic, at best.

                 The phrase, ‘sharply limiting the number of degrees the planet warms this century,’ is an indication of truly remarkable hubris on our part. I was unaware that there was a planetary thermostat that we could simply adjust to our comfort level.

                Obama: “turn it down, we’re being wasteful!”

                Xi Jinping: “leave it where it’s at, I’m cold enough as it is!”

                The Cosmos laughs.

                

Thai Guy Facing 32 Years In Prison For "Liking" Facebook Post

                 As reported by Politico.com, Thanakorn Siripaiboon is a 27-year-old auto factory worker from Thailand who was arrested this week and charged with sedition and “computer crimes.” What was the reason for his arrest, you may ask? Well, on December 2^nd, he had the chutzpah to click ‘Like’ on a doctored photo of His Majesty the king…and proceeded to share it with many of his friends. OMG!

                He is facing 32 years in prison.

                The American founders instituted a government with dramatically limited and concisely defined powers, founded on the rule of law and natural, individual, rights to prevent just such outrages and miscarriages of justice. Yet, now, American citizens are also being subjected to the whims of governmental bodies and presidential fiat and abuse, our freedoms altered, diminished or abolished.

                Freely speak your mind and/or propose policies that don’t fit into the politically correct straitjacket of today’s progressive Thugocracy  and you will be attacked, mocked and threatened by those tolerant, non-judgmental, peace-loving, can’t-we-all-just-get-along, superior beings. As I have been.

                Fight back. No matter what. 

                No matter what.

DHS Manned By Terrorists?

                                          Department of Homeland Security Manned by Terrorists?    

  

            At least 72 employees at the Department of Homeland Security are listed on the U.S. terrorist watch list, according to Democratic lawmaker Rep. Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts. Lynch disclosed that a recent congressional investigation found that, at minimum, 72 individuals working for the D.H.S. “were on the terrorist watch list.” Coming, as it does, on the heels of numerous reports that the husband-wife terror team that went on a killing spree in San Bernardino, California days ago were obviously radicalized and dangerous long before carrying out their atrocities, this is not a reassuring disclosure.

            We are weak, distracted, hyper-tolerant, politically-correct to the point of lunacy and blind to reality.

            What’s next, the revelation that the U.N. appears fixated on- and petrified by- weather, while completely ignoring civil wars and heinous child sexual abuse in Africa and the Middle East? That our American president isn’t a patriot, citizen, Christian? That congressmen care more about their own power than the citizens they supposedly represent? That the mainstream media is fully in bed with progressive Democrats/Socialists? That evangelical climate change missionaries deliberately distort the evidence and are portraying their own beliefs as the One True Religion? That the president of the United States is determined to bring in more Middle Eastern ‘refugees’ that his own administration admits can’t possibly all be vetted? That, at the same time, he wishes to disarm his own constituents and dismiss the Second Amendment?

            These are truly gonzo, freakish, self-contradictory, inexplicable times.
