Welcome to Toronto, world-class city

YouTube Preview Image
It’s interesting that one of the Toronto media’s exercises in the waning hours of the G20 is to check the coverage of the rest of the world’s media.

How do they see us? What do they think of us? Do they think of us?
It’s funny and sad at the same time. Don’t worry Toronto, if there was any doubt before, you can now call yourself a world-class city.

It is also interesting to hear and see the coverage of the G20 protests and riots. There is one thing that puzzles me. Whatever do those people think they will accomplish, whether they are socialists, communists, anarchists, globalists, anti-globalists, greenies, or any other of the various and sundry special interests that regularly populate these things? Are they naive enough to think they might affect policy? »» Welcome to Toronto, world-class city

Moroccan Crops defy IPCC report predictions

Here’s the source….African crops yield another catastrophe for the IPCC

It seems that in their haste to create the climate “crisis” that we have spoken of here before, the climate fear-mongers at the IPCC, notably their head fear-monger, Dr Rajendra Pachauri, have taken the answer to a purely hypothetical question put to the Moroccan government, and put it out there as the certain future.

The big “if” of the hypothetical was a drought. “IF” there was a drought, what would happen to the crops? Well, “if” there was a drought then there would be a 50% drop in crop yields. A pretty straightforward and reasonable answer to the hypothetical question. »» Moroccan Crops defy IPCC report predictions

Wing-nut Kamikaze in Austin, Texas

Below is a portion of the text of a rambling letter that a pilot left before crashing his small plane into the IRS building in Austin, Texas, on February 18, 2010.

The Path to Tyranny

On a serious note, this article -
http://zombietime.com/john_holdren/
- to me describes the mindset that pervades the Global Warming alarmist movement, and it is chilling to anyone who values what remains of their individual freedom in the West.

Pay particular attention to the recommendations in the section called “Toward a Planetary Regime” and ask two questions;

    Are those conspiracy theorists who keep warning of a one world order really that crazy?

    What was Copenhagen about besides the obvious monetary shake-down of the West?

And then remember that these are the kind of people that President Obama counts as friends and wants to put in charge of America.

What was it he just told a gathering of Republicans in defence of his economic policies? “I am not an ideologue.” Thankfully, they laughed in his face.

A question…

If we follow the AGW debate and look for the motivators it becomes obvious that the preponderance of the movement politically is left or far left, and the solutions proposed to solve AGW are simply money transfers from developed countries to undeveloped or underdeveloped countries, as a kind of guilt money transfer, the very definition of extortion. »» A question…

This just in… actually it’s two years old

but it came up in debate recently.
In England, Al Gore’s environmental documentary An Inconvenient Truth contains nine key scientific errors, a High Court judge ruled yesterday.”

So I decided to write some song lyrics about the situation and this is as far as I got;

Your Hockey Stick is a Fraud

We don’t need no propaganda
We don’t need no thought control
No left wing hatred in the classroom
Al Gore leave them kids alone
Hey! Al Gore! Leave them kids alone!
All in all that hockey stick is a fraud
All in all your hockey stick is a fraud.

I think you might know the tune…think Pink.

A CO2 Primer from a physicist

Bottom line, CO2 follows warming, it does not precede it. Ergo, it is not the cause of global warming. Period. End of story.

What does that mean? No need for Kyoto. No need for Copenhagen. Al Gore can retire. No need for carbon tax. No need for cap and trade. Etc., etc., etc.

Here it is.

Here’s another.

So much for open source information.

While we’re on the subject of AGW…

Here’s an interesting interview; »» While we’re on the subject of AGW…

The Ultimate Tax: the Tax on Existence

Climategate. There’s Nixon’s contribution to the lexicon, the suffix “gate” to indicate any kind of scandal, coverup, fraud, political deception, etc. So, in the absence of anything less immediately recognizable we will go with it.

My first reaction to the news of the hack of the computers and the incriminating e-mail that was discovered at East Anglia in England was the ever useful colloquialism, “well, duh!” I was not in the least surprised to find out that there has been massive fraud among scientists of a certain political affiliation or sympathy in order to project this AGW (anthropocentric global warming) onto the general public and particularly onto the leaders of nations.

Nor am I surprised at the conclusion of many that the entire charade is not about the climate anyway. It is only a means to an end. That end is the separation of free people from their freedom and their money. This is the made-to-order tool for global re-distribution of wealth and the control of the West and the lifestyles and prosperity of the West.

We can remember Nikita Kruschev’s famous boast, “we will bury you!” and when we realize that many displaced communists found a new home in the environmental movement after the fall of the Soviet Union, it may be that our victory celebration over the defeat of the totalitarian ideology was premature.

The proof of what this is all about is right in front of our eyes. The MSM is skirting this thing right now but the information is getting out through the new media. One would think that there would be a lot of people who were genuinely worried about the threat to the planet, who would be immensely relieved to find that the evidence has been cooked up and it isn’t really happening. There should be a huge celebration of that fact wouldn’t you think? Hooray, we are not killing our planet after all. No, the reaction has been either spin or gnashing of teeth. Why? Because it was never about climate. It has always been about attacking free market capitalism. They say so themselves at various times over the years. Some are more forthright, others won’t admit it publicly. But beyond that, what is this great climate summit in Copenhagen all about? It’s all over the MSM. It’s about money. Huge transfers of wealth. That is the agreement they are looking for.

The carbon tax is a way to ensure that transfer in perpetuity. Think about that. Carbon is the stuff of all life here on planet Earth. To be able to tax it is diabolical genius. It is to tax dirt, air, plants, animals, all living things including human beings. It is the ultimate tax. It is quite literally a tax on existence.
