Paul Krugman, ANOTHER Leftist, wonders why we don't believe in 'their' AGW

Mr. Perry (and many Conservatives; a majority I would surmise) realize that the climate is changing. But what we deny is that it's caused solely by human activity.

Having the Left embrace the notion of human-caused (AGW) climate change didn't help convince us. The worst possible happenstance for nascent scientists was that failed left-wing politician Albert Gore embraced the notion of human-caused climate change after his bitter defeat in 2000.

Now, we have the Left pushing AGW as one of their weapons of ideological CHANGE: AGW used as a world-wide tool, used as a weapon by the haters on the Left, against free enterprise.

When you say that 'deniers' only do so because they are ill-informed, you should realize that many of those who are doing the informing are not considered by Conservatives to be of any use or value; and that the AGW believers, to have embraced these left-wing spokesmen, to help shove the notion of human-caused climate change down the world's throat, wasn't such a good idea.

Worse: there's an as-yet unspoken (but they are itching to speak it!) meme circulating around the Left's environmental movement that, given their belief that humans have caused this problem, the real solution is to force the human population down to 1/3 or so of it's current numbers. That's what these Al Gore sorts want: far fewer people on this planet. If there is a civilization-turning point, then these wackos may well celebrate the dying of billions of people, to avenge their 'Mother Earth'.

Look around you, ask yourself: is the Left's ideology served by supporting the notion of AGW climate change?  Do these ideological bedfellows 'fit' with you, for your own left-wing desires and purposes?

How far are you willing to go with this, Krugman?

Al Gore, Tennessee's Most Famous Far-Left Failed Politician, Curses Americans for their Disbelief

Trending today in RealClearPolitics is this editorial by the Pittsburg Post-Gazette's Jack Kelly, "Chicken Little Gore goes on a tirade".

I suppose that when Al Gore said "The SCIENCE! is SETTLED!" he expected American children to stop arguing with him, bend the knee and give Him their full and expectant attention, and do exactly as He said to do. After all, He is the Goreacle, He Who Must Be Obeyed. Certainly he does not brook well any disrespectful children or tolerate their mouthy disbelief. At the Aspen Institute, Aug. 4, he unleashed on those who doubt HIM...

Former Vice President Al Gore went on a profanity-laced tirade at the Aspen Institute Aug. 4 against the rising number of Americans who are skeptical about man-made global warming.

According to a Harris poll in July, only 44 percent of us now believe carbon dioxide emissions are warming the Earth, down from 51 percent in 2009 and 71 percent in 2007.

Global temperatures peaked in 1998. People have noticed winters are getting colder.

When evidence emerged in 2009 that scientists affiliated with the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia in Britain were "hiding the decline" by fudging data, few journalists paid much attention.

But a lot of Americans did, apparently. In a Rasmussen poll Aug. 3, 69 percent of respondents said it was at least somewhat likely scientists have falsified research data.

According to global warming theory, carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels are trapping heat in the upper atmosphere, inexorably warming the planet.

The theory ignored inconvenient facts:

• In the Medieval Warm Period (950-1250 AD), and the Roman Warm Period (250 BC-400 AD), there were no automobiles or factories, but temperatures were warmer than now.

• In geologic history, CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere were much higher, but temperatures often were lower. In the Late Ordovician Period, CO2 concentrations were 12 times higher than they are today. The Late Ordovician Period was an ice age.

• Vostok (Antarctica) ice core samples indicate temperature changes have preceded changes in CO2 concentrations by an average of 800 years. This couldn't happen if CO2 caused temperature changes.

• CO2 in the atmosphere has increased since 1998, but temperatures haven't.

Now a peer-reviewed study of NASA satellite data indicates the computer models warmists rely upon grossly exaggerate the amount of heat being trapped in the atmosphere.

Mr. Gore's alarmist predictions have proved false. Polar ice caps are larger. So is the polar bear population (and the scientist upon whom Mr. Gore relied for his claim that the polar bear is endangered is facing accusations of scientific misconduct). The rise in sea levels -- which has been going on since the end of the last ice age -- is slowing down.

Mr. Gore can respond only with curses, and ever more hysterical predictions of imminent doom. His credibility is in tatters. In the public mind, he's gone from Nobel Prize winner to Chicken Little.

"Chicken Little". Heh. If I had time, I'd work that one up. But all's I have is ManBearPigore.

Al Gore is a 'Failed Politician' you ask? Why you say so?

Al Gore is a failed politician. He could not win the Presidency in 2000 because he FAILED to win his freakin' HOME STATE! After having won several elections here in Tennessee, he FAILED to WIN his HOME STATE! That line should be imprinted on his tombstone.

Al Gore is a failed politician, period, end of story. He turned far-Left and paid the price for it. As should all these politicians who turn Left, and in doing so turn their backs on their country.

Oh, and Al Gore continued his FAIL after his failed political career because he did seek out and embrace, and become the lead face for, the theory of Global Warmalism. That embracing by a far-Left politician cratered any chance the theory had to become popular (cratered, rightfully, except in the minds of those far-Left whack jobs who would bend the knee and assume the position for anyone, especially if they come in on the political charts to the left of Hugo Chavez; look to Chavez' left, you'll find Al Gore).

Seriously, who could look at Al Gore, failed far-Left politician, and see little more than a failed far-Left politician trying to push a possibly fake (but the Science! is SETTLED!) theory? He did those scientists and their theory no favors by taking the lead, really.

The worst mistake climate scientists ever made was to embrace Al Gore as their titular leader.

Gore should have stayed on that little island he went to after his 2000 loss, continued to eat cheeseburgers until he was as fat as Marlon Brando, start wearing a Moo Moo, and fer chrissakes stayed out of SCIENCE!. Any other reasonable person, chosen at random, would have presented the theory of Global Warmalism better than failed far-Left politician Albert (HUGE ELECTRIC BILLS!) Gore.

Winging around on his jets, with that huge electric bill, proves he is also a hypocrite, a jerk, and an @sshole.

That is all.

Global Warmalist alarmists get a massive beat down from... SCIENCE!

So, what happens if you are heavily invested in a pet theory, you've declared that THE DEBATE IS OVER! and practically shut down new avenues of scientific research, fought for and almost succeeded in CHANGEing the economic makeup of the entire WORLD, what do you do when new SCIENCE! data surfaces that punches holes in your carefully groomed AGW theory? Watch carefully for the next several weeks. We're getting ready to find out.

I predict that alarmists will find some way to discount this new data, no matter how well-grounded and repeatable it might be. There's too much at stake for (Disciples of) Al Gore to give up any ground whatsoever...even to... SCIENCE!. From Forbes...

NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.

Study co-author Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA's Aqua satellite, reports that real-world data from NASA's Terra satellite contradict multiple assumptions fed into alarmist computer models.

Oh, my. What's happening is, as the Earth warms up, it's venting to space, much more than the alarmist's models predicted. So, the warmer we get, the more venting of excess heat to space occurs. It's as if a 'pressure relief valve' opens, and things stabilize.

In addition to finding that far less heat is being trapped than alarmist computer models have predicted, the NASA satellite data show the atmosphere begins shedding heat into space long before United Nations computer models predicted.

Heh. I'm wondering if these original computer models were programmed to be purposefully alarmist.

The new findings are extremely important and should dramatically alter the global warming debate.

Justwaitagoddmanminute! The Al Gore hasn't yet Spoken; He has not passed on allowing this new data to be admitted to His Vast Plan (to screw the World). Nice data you've got there, NASA. Shame if something happens to it...

In short, the central premise of alarmist global warming theory is that carbon dioxide emissions should be directly and indirectly trapping a certain amount of heat in the earth's atmosphere and preventing it from escaping into space. Real-world measurements, however, show far less heat is being trapped in the earth's atmosphere than the alarmist computer models predict, and far more heat is escaping into space than the alarmist computer models predict.

Damned pesky data, messing up our perfectly adjusted computer models. Is it time, once again, to pull a HIDE THE DECLINE! trick? Where's Michael Mann when you need him?




What a damned shame for those who've fallen for the religion of AGW.

Maureen Dowd speaks out against males. Unless, of course, they have a "D" label, like Al Gore..

It's a good thing that Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a dirty French socialist with exquisite (and expensive) tastes, living a life of elite luxury, gets handcuffed and tossed in Ricker's without bail for trying to demean a fellow human. More dirty socialists should go down this way. That'll teach those French bastards to come over here and act, well, French.

Maureen Dowd begins her NYT editorial very well; exposing DSK and slapping him around...

Oh, she wanted it.

She wanted it bad.

That’s what every hard-working, God-fearing, young widow who breaks her back doing menial labor at a Times Square hotel to support her teenage daughter, justify her immigration status and take advantage of the opportunities in America wants — a crazed, rutting, wrinkly old satyr charging naked out of a bathroom, lunging at her and dragging her around the room, caveman-style. ...

According to the claims of the 32-year-old West African maid, what took place in the $3,000-a-day Sofitel suite had nothing to do with seduction. If the allegation is true, Strauss-Kahn’s behavior, boorish and primitive, is rape. ...

“She is a simple housekeeper who was going into a room to clean a room,” Shapiro told The Times. He called the devout Muslim woman from the Bronx “a very proper, dignified young woman” and said “she did not even know who this guy was” until she saw the news accounts.

A very well written and placed attack on DSK; but then, a reach across the aisle, linking Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'groping' incident...

Another famous European with a disturbing pattern of sexual aggression got in trouble over the help this week: The ex-governor of California, who got elected after his wife, Maria Shriver, defended him so eloquently against groping charges.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was also guilty of the raw assertion of male power.

...without mentioning 'sex-crazed poodle' Al Gore, who availed himself of a female hired masseuse in Portland, who stated that Mr. Gore was a tipsy, handsy predator who forced her to drink Grand Marnier, pinned her to a bed, and forcibly French kissed her, leaving stains on her slacks?

Why the omission, Ms. Dowd, unless you are OK with being viewed as hyper-partisan, not to mention a hypocritical and disgusting dirty socialist yourself, being protective of anything with a "D" label?

"Where China Outpaces America": Where Nicholas Kristof lauds the Chinese Communist Party, on May Day, just as do all modern Democrats.

Yes, it's May Day, international worker's day, a traditional holiday for the Communist Party and for socialists everywhere, including right here in the U.S.A.; where unions are planning protests nationwide, and celebrating the fact that Democrats are now 'coming around' to Socialism (and who knows? eventually maybe even to full-blown Marxist Communism). 'American Socialism' has never been stronger and more outspoken than it is today, under Barack Obama's leadership.

How important is May Day to American unionists and Democrats? Read for yourself...

It’s unfortunate that many Americans lost the memory of May Day because in failing to celebrate the holiday, U.S. workers are deprived of the spirit of solidarity they used to share with international workers. However, that doesn’t mean that May Day is completely forgotten within the United States.

The San Jose May 1 Coalition is hosting a march for immigration rights, while the protests of Governor Scott Walker continue in Wisconsin. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka will speak at Milwaukee’s May Day march today in one of more than 100 marches and rallies that will be held across the country.

The AFL-CIO is live-blogging May Day actions and also tweeting updates under the hashtag #MayDay. In a written statement, the union’s blog reads: “These rallies and marches will show workers’ rights and immigrant rights are connected.”

Christine Neumann-Ortiz, founder and executive director of Voces de la Frontera, says that there is now “an unprecedented alliance” between labor and immigrant rights communities in the wake of Walker’s bill that eliminate bargaining rights for public workers. “We want to send a message to corporate America, politicians and others that working people will not be divided,” she says.

Even the New York Times posts a front-page story lauding the Communist Chinese Party.

Nicholas D. Kristof pens an editorial lauding statistics that prove Shanghai's life expectancy and infant mortality rates are better than New York City's (unless of course you add in Shanghai's migrant worker population, then those statistics change for the worse; but for comparison points, Kristof wants to use 'sanitized' data that allow him to bash and blame evil Conservatives and Corporations for America's faults). And, lo and behold! Chinese school systems are the best in a 65-nation survey! Why, we should adapt their school system's methodology forthright and post haste!

Let's start by getting rid of our teacher's unions. China has the best school system you say? China doesn't have unions you say? Hop to it, then. Break up these pesky unions; our schools will become more like China's.

And what of these statistics proving Shanghai, and China, have better, longer lives than poor oppressed-by-Capitalism Americans?

Given that the parents of Shanghai's (and the rest of China's) children are only allowed only one child per family, it's likely that that one child will have much more attention given to it (including prenatal care) than would a child in a multiple-child family (if such families were permitted for comparison's sake), because that child will be considered
'precious and few'. Unless it's a girl-child, of course; amongst female children in China that are allowed to be born in the first place, you might find a higher mortality rate. There's a statistic you won't find to be comparable to any other nation's birth-and-survival statistics, I'll warrant.

Is that a good thing, China's one-child-per-family rule? From a strictly biological point of view, yes it is. There are far too many people on this planet for long-term sustainability; just ask any honest scientist worth his various parchments. That's the underlying (and largely unspoken) principle driving many of the left's environment-first thinkers, from Al Gore to John Holdren; an opinion that is innate to many who believe in a biological existence. Atheists believe that humans are no more than a chance-evolved function of complex carbon-based chemistry, are sans a soul and, biologically speaking, are purposeless except for the species' basest expectations: be born, reproduce if you are worthy, then die. That's a clear separation from their faith-based God-bothering counterparts.

We here in the 'ever-enlightening' Western world will have to adapt that one-child rule of course, sooner than later. Why not? The Chinese, so far, seem much better off for it.

And the CCP is, of course, much better than any old Conservative - Tea Party- Republican-influenced government that's causing such massive butt-hurt for the 'enlightened' in our neo-socialist society, right, Kristof?

Snap to it, then. Work to see a United States sans any right-based thinking. You'll be right where you want to be, cradled by a Social Democratic Party that Cares, just like China's.
