Hey dont blame me ... I invented the Internet!/caption
IN HIS LATEST POLITICAL SPIN PRESIDENT TALK TALK TALK ... AND UHM MORE TALK ... PROMISES TO SAVE THE PLANET (BUT NOT THOUSANDS OF INNOCENTS CURRENTLY BEEN BLOWN TO BITS BY SYRIAN MISSILES):
Yes its come to that gang. Celebrating Earth Day is the Obama White Houses priority -- even though (1) millions of Americans are still out of work; and (2) the unemployment numbers among the community-organizer-and-chiefs target of so much of feigned compassion & concern -- young black males -- is over SIXTY PER CENT! (Read it and feign your own phoney weeping and concern Al Sharpton -- if ratings weakling MSNBC hasnt already fired you).
AND HERES THE NEWS STORY … READ IT & WEEP DEAR READERS:
So lets get right to it -- the news story that metaphorically broke the camels back for most conservatives and global worming skeptics (oops ... silly me ... climate change skeptics ... oh dear ... I mispoke .. climate impact skeptics ... oops change that to bad weather skeptics):
APRIL 23 2014--CLIMATE CHANGE WILL BE THE EARTH DAY TARGET FOR OBAMA U.S. OFFICIALS CONFIRM (courtesy THE ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS NETWORK)
Yes folks in an Earth Day Proclamation" from President Barack Obama yesterday he issued dire" warning of the potent consequences of climate change and pledged to protect Americans and (get this) all humankind" from this looming problem that threatens us all."
Today we face another problem that threatens us all" Obama opined: The overwhelming judgment of science tells us that climate change is altering our planet in ways that will have profound impacts on all of humankind.":
Already longer wildfire seasons put first responders at greater risk continued the anointed one. Farmers must cope with increased soil erosion following heavy downpours and greater stresses from weeds plant diseases and insect pests (sounds just like the plague inflicted by the biblical higher power when Ramses rejected Moses plaintiff plea: Let my people go!").
The consequences of climate change will only grow more dire in the years to come" Obama predicted.
Obama recounted the work his administration has done to prepare the nation for the impacts of climate change tenfold increase in solar power triple the electricity from wind power and took credit for bringing carbon pollution to its lowest levels in nearly two decades." - although for some reason he didnt mention Sylandra.
We are also taking on environmental challenges he continued by increasing fuel efficiency restoring public lands and curbing emissions of mercury and other toxic chemicals (and likely destroying key American businesses -- like Dow Chemicals -- while were at it he forgot to mention)."
According to this exclusive Environmental News Network press release to the Obama administrations cheerleading squad in the mainstream media senior officials across the Obama Administration are observing the 44th anniversary of Earth Day with events and announcements -- including Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsacks inspiring announcement of record financial support for 116 projects that will benefit the environment and of course be almost entirely paid for by unsuspecting U.S. taxpayers.
And once were at it lets transport ourselves in William Shatner style back to Monday February 17 2014.
And lets listen in to an earnest warning by Americas Secretary of (silly) State John Kerry Heinz:
AND WHAT DID THE JAW THAT WALKS HAVE TO SAY?
Get this whopper:
On that day the American Secretary of State said global warming is as big a threat as terrorism and (ironically) in a speech in Indonesia the worlds largest exporter of coal for power plants…
Speaking that weekend in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta the last stop on his three-nation Asia tour Kerry called on the international community nations & individuals to do more now since climate change required a global solution.
GET READY FOR IT ... AND HERE IT COMES:
Without more action to combat global warming scientists predict extreme weather events such as last years Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines will occur" he concluded … and then HE LIKENED CLIMATE CHANGE TO GLOBAL THREATS SUCH AS TERRORISM & THE PROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.
PERHAPS HES BEEN SMOKING UP IN COLORADO:
The solution is energy policy. Its as simple as that" he said. Governments and international financial institutions should stop incentivizing the use of energy sources like coal and oil (and perhaps electricity too ... building bonfires instead?)"
MY OWN RESPONSE TO THE PRECEDING NEWS STORY:
Lets cut to the chase gang:
The mainstream-media climate-change alarmists -- as well as like-minded publicity-seeking politicians like John Kerry Heinz -- commit a usual error in their climate calculations:
They conflate wished-for associations -- of self-selected negative weather patterns with actual scientifically-verified causal relationships.
Or to put even more simply quasi-scientific ideologues (like the folks at the United Nations) get what they look for because they know what they want to find.
In fact until the era of Al Gore (and his semi-delusional academic mentor Roger Revelle) the scientific study of climate focused on the cycles of long-term weather changes which have spanned periods of centuries and the millennia.
And the conclusion of this traditional study of climate change?
That climate does change:
Specifically it has been warming since the end of the last ICE AGE with a bump in the Gore years -- but with warming MINIMALLY changing over the past 10 years (just check your heating bills for last winter).
So where do us bad-guy humans fit into the picture?
Well in fact humans have been contributing to a warmer climate since the dawn of civilization with widespread burning of forests to make room for planting seeds for wheat & barley to feed the first ancient city states.
And lets face it: every breath we take produces carbon dioxide and adds allegedly-polluting contaminants to the atmosphere.
So whats the eco-friendly solution?
That everyone in the world commit suicide to save mother earth (or should we say Gaia)?
Meanwhile when it comes to rigged science Ill let you google" for the scientific evidence -- recently provided by independent climatologists at their own climate-change conference -- indicating that previous IPCC forecasts have been overestimating global temperature change forecasts for the past 10 to 15 years.
In particular as we saw regarding the recent green-energy holiday cruise for Al Gore devotees -- with the groups huge cruise ship totally blocked & hemmed in by unexpected ice packs -- the climate-change alarmists have been grossly underestimating the expansion of the Arctic & Antarctic ice caps.
GET TO THE POINT ALREADY:
So what would better serve the needs of humanity than all this pseudo science?
For all concerned parties to look at the kind of scientific innovations that can better the lives of disadvantaged populations throughout the world especially in Africa India & South America.
For example Monsanto has been much maligned by the environmental community for its genetically-engineered seeds that allow crops to withstand herbicides and ward off insects making it possible for Third World farmers to substantially increase their crop output.
In fact Monsanto is beginning a new soybean product launch offering Latin American farmers seeds which combine (1) tolerance to the glyphosate herbicide (whatever that is); (2) protection against caterpillars; and (3) a significant improvement in these farmers crop yields" (meaning more grain to sell and hence more cash to improve their standards of living).
And the result of this kind revolution in farming world-wide?
For the first time in many years Indias farmers produced a surplus crop of wheat this year … meaning that once all the needs of Indias massive population are met India will export wheat at higher world prices.
And that in turn will enhance the incomes of its formerly indigent farming population.
MORAL OF THIS STORY:
Its likely possible to spread such prosperity to other poverty-stricken areas of Africa and Asia ... but if only we can overcome the ideological & commercial resistance to such agricultural innovations especially by todays self-serving Euro-social agricultural cabal.
And its time that the needs of (ordinary) people not wealthy elites come first world-wide!
Nuff said I hope.
