Professor Phil Jones, the director of the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit which collects "climate change" data used by the United Nations, is now saying, "Oops!" Would someone please inform Al Gore that the Nobel Committee wants their prize back? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-warming-email-row-admits-data-organised.html
Gee, a leading climate change expert admits that there's been no global warming in the last 15 years, and yet everybody is all vexed about which political party is supporting big oil?? Let's get back on topic. There has been no global warming in 15 years. None. Nada. Zilch. That's the point.
So why is Antarctica melting? Nasa: "Meanwhile, measurements from the Grace satellites confirm that Antarctica is losing mass 11. Isabella Velicogna of JPL and the University of California, Irvine, uses Grace data to weigh the Antarctic ice sheet from space. Her work shows that the ice sheet is not only losing mass, but it is losing mass at an accelerating rate." and Glacier Natl Park:? http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/03/090302-glaciers-melting.html
I find it funny that people still think Global Warming doesn't exist when almost every major country in the world not only acknowledges its existence, but is spending billions to slow down/prevent it. Don't believe me? Look it up & do some research. I encourage you to. The only debate today is whether it's man-made or "natural", but again...do you really think all these countries are so dumb that they're spending buckets of money toward something that can't be helped?
He's obviously no expert, and he's certainly not leading anyone. Pointing to comparatively tiny periods in time as indicative of anything to do with global warming suggests he is either a fraud for hire, or the topic is too big for his itty-bitty brain. Try harder.
The issue is whether Global Warming is a man-made phenomena or not. Climate change has occured throughout the Earth's history. The problem is these Global Warming Alarmists have secured billions of dollars of funding and they are perpetrating a lie.
http://www.news.com.au/antarctic-ice-is-growing-not-melting-away/story-0-1225700043191 Antarctic ice is growing, not melting away ICE is expanding in much of Antarctica, contrary to the widespread public belief that global warming is melting the continental ice cap. The results of ice-core drilling and sea ice monitoring indicate there is no large-scale melting of ice over most of Antarctica, although experts are concerned at ice losses on the continent's western coast. Antarctica has 90 per cent of the Earth's ice and 80 per cent of its fresh water, The Australian reports. Extensive melting of Antarctic ice sheets would be required to raise sea levels substantially, and ice is melting in parts of west Antarctica. The destabilisation of the Wilkins ice shelf generated international headlines this month. However, the picture is very different in east Antarctica, which includes the territory claimed by Australia. East Antarctica is four times the size of west Antarctica and parts of it are cooling. The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research report prepared for last week's meeting of Antarctic Treaty nations in Washington noted the South Pole had shown "significant cooling in recent decades". Australian Antarctic Division glaciology program head Ian Allison said sea ice losses in west Antarctica over the past 30 years had been more than offset by increases in the Ross Sea region, just one sector of east Antarctica. "Sea ice conditions have remained stable in Antarctica generally," Dr Allison said. (more at the link)
According to this web site for the 2008 election cycle the Democrats raised: $99 mil from lawyers $70 mil from retiree groups $41 mil from Securities/Investment $35 mil from Real Estate $35 mil from Health Care $32 mil from Education $32 mil from various Unions The Oil Companies gave $27 mil to the Republicans (and $8 mil to Democrats). Yes, it is the oil companies that run everything! What people fail to grasp is that the big oil companies fancy themselves nible, well manage "Energy" providers. They, for the most part, have already baked into their business plans transition to a lower carbon use future. They feel if they manage the transition right, they will make even MORE profit during that early transition period when technology, capital and management leaders have the advantage. The real push-back on restricted cabron rules comes from coal mining states and states that generate a high portion of their electricity from coal. Much of the population of those states would bear a very high burden. When the estimates for how much the bills were going to look like started coming out these people got upset and starting hounding their Senators.
By the way: Holy Jesus - if the lawyers have $100 mil in loose change to grease Democrats alone - for only 1 election cycle - is it time to admit - that as a group - lawyers make too much money. Where the heck do they get all that money and what great stuff did they create to earn it? I will say that justice is a valuable commodity. Do we get "justice" for all that lawyers get?
Monopolies are nice. Attorney organizations have procured monopolies in all 50 states and federally. They have both sides of every case argued by attorneys in front of judges that are attorneys. It's a nice gig. Ed O.
