Browner: Climate Change Law Would Bolster U.S. Role at Global Warming Talks

The Letter
I am a child and I think that this is outrageous and that you do not need my opinion to know that. I did not read the entire page but you have to try and do what you need to do because I cannot help you in any manner at this point in time, and I am sorry about that.
Climate change
To legislate against climate change is an oxymoron, on a par with fixing the value of Pi. But before even attempting to do anything about it we should first make sure that such a "climate change" actually exists. IPCC tells us that there was this "late twentieth century warming" which started around 1977 or thereabouts and continued into the eighties and nineties. They feed the warming temperatures from this period into their computers and extrapolate them to give us a climate catastrophe by the end of the century. Unfortunately satellite data show that there was no such warming at all in the eighties and nineties, meaning that ground-based records that show it have severe systematic errors (or are cooked?). Hence, feeding these imaginary temperatures into their computers will give imaginary predictions known in the trade as GIGO. Taking action against carbon dioxide based on such non-sensical predictions is simply tilting at windmills. And advocating such actions is advocating a waste of our national resources. To learn more about the science behind this check out my paper on ICECAP.
No one in Congress considers Global COOLING
The sun is very quite. Hathaway at NASA has finally acknowledge this. A long quiet minimum means the entire cycle 24 will be quite. Scientists in Russia, Egypt and elsewhere are predicting a mini Ice Age some are even suggesting a return to a real Ice Age.
So what does Congress do? We divert grain to Ethanol for fuel, this caused Sec of Ag Ed Schafer to state last spring "the cupboard is bare, the USA has no more grain surplus." Thanks to the Omnibus bill just passed Congress removed thousands of miles of rivers from hydro power use, shut down oil drilling, mining also nuclear power is already a no-no. Worse Congress is now trying to pass several bills than will make growing food illegal for the average citizen Al Gore stated to a FFA winner several years ago "There will be no more farming in the USA" Looks like he means it
David Archibald, an Australian Scientist did some rough calculations to predict the impact of the strong climatic changes that occur during the turning points of a Gleissberg cycle (mini Ice Age) on US agriculture. He predicted a 20% decline in production. For Canada and Russia, at more northern latitudes the reduction could be as great as 50%. (the USA grow about 25% of the world food supply)
Meanwhile Baxter shipped to Europe a bio-weapon as a flu vaccine. The plans for "Who will live and who will die" are already in place in hospitals according to an article published last year. I suggest readers Google Maurice Strong and read exactly who is behind Al Gore. Strong Hates American prosperity and wants to divert our tax dollars to China. That is why China a much heavier polluter than the USA is set up to receive the carbon credit money instead of paying it.
"Splain this, Lucy"
For the past 15 years I believed global warming was caused by CO2. Now, I'm not so sure. It's looking more and more to be a natural phenomenon to me.
My interest in global warming and energy policy is so great I launched www.energyplanusa.com. I've waded through the wellspring of man-made global warming theory, the United Nation's IPCC reports, and conclude they lack the 'smoking gun' that proves global warming is man-made. The reports are jargoned-up and rely heavily on computer models that have not proven terribly prescient (similar, I'm afraid, to the ones that predicted the American economy was a perpetual motion machine). Most importantly man-made global warming theory ignores the fact that the earth cooled from the 1940s to 1970s, when CO2 was on the increase. It also ignores evidence from reliable studies. For instance, it's widely understood that the globe was warmer 1,000 years ago, when CO2 levels were normal, then it is today. Then, Vikings grew grapes in New Foundland and even named it Vinland. There are many examples of the Medieval Warming plus Roman Warming periods that need to be reconciled--not ignored--by man-made global warming proponents if they want me back in the fold.
I'm dismayed that my own party, the Democrats, the thinkers, have turned a scientific issue into religious zealotry where faith trumps facts. I'm also dismayed that the American press seems content with publishing hearsay, without backing up conclusions and presumptions with facts and evidence. Please, help me get at the truth. If anyone can provide the C02 smoking gun, I'd be greatly indebted.
Man-made global warming is a hoax
More and more scientists and thinking people all over the world are realizing that man-made global warming is a hoax that threatens our future and the future of our children. More than 700 international scientists dissent over man-made global warming claims. They are now more than 13 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media-hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers. http://www.climatechangefraud.com/content/view/3562/218/
Additionally, 32,000 American scientists have signed onto a petition that states, "There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate…" http://www.petitionproject.org/index.html
"Progressive" (communist) politicians like Obama seem determined to force us to swallow the man-made global warming scam. We need to defend ourselves from the United Nations and these politicians, who threaten our future and the future of our children. Based on a lie, they have already wasted billions and plan to increase taxes and increase the cost of energy, which will limit development, destroy our economy and enslave us.
If not stopped, the global warming scam will enrich the scammers (Gore and Obama’s Wall Street friends), increase the power of the United Nations and communists like Obama, and multiply poverty and servitude for the rest of us.
Who voted for Obama?
The American voters knew what they were voting for when they elected Obama. Now they are surprised? Al Gore was guilty of insider trading when he was Vice President. He should be on trial.
Leader of Moronic thought
Oh great, now the US wants to be the leader of stupidity.
the world's biggest hoax
Browner and Obama will continue to push this scam upon a nation in trouble, exacerbating our financial needs for decades - all to control people through feel-good lies and fear. It is the distortion of science that is but one evil. It is another evil to hurt people financially and with hardship under the guise of silly concepts like "consensus" science, created whole cloth by politicians aided by those "scientists" that have succumbed to get grant money or keep jobs under threat.
They and Al Gore are too cowardly to have an honest debate on the topic - better to use bumper sticker mentality to move the masses toward oblivion.
This world of relative morality is destroying itself.
Please follow the money
Can you please do a story about Al Gore's companies that are set to make billions from "carbon trading".
Gore is Chairman of the for-profit Generation Investment Management, and he is a partner in Kleiner Perkins.
When Gore goes to D.C. he should be treated like any other lobbyist looking for money.
The media used to follow the money, but there is a blackout on Al Gore's financial links to the carbon trading schemes he advocates.
Feed-in Tariffs policy as a sort of sound, reliable pension plan
A feed-in tariff plan to buy clean energy from its customers ranging from homeowners to commercial energy companies at a higher guaranteed rate over a certain period of time would help spark new investment in renewable energy generation, foster up-to-date building industry, and create a new generation of green jobs.
“I’m seeing it with my own eyes ? it’s really having a good effect on our local economy, particularly in these hard times,” said Edward J. Regan, the assistant general manager for strategic planning at Gainesville Regional Utilities in Florida. And Other countries--particularly Germany, Spain and Denmark--have successfully used FITs to encourage the development of renewable energy projects.
I guess this plan will help increase the value of the house considerably, and get the reeling building industry and overall economy back on its feet as well.
Additional investments in this sector would not only stimulate the recovery of the construction and allied industries but also generate tens of thousands of jobs.
Thank you !
