Scientists: Obama document is 'scare' tactic

Report cites imminent threats of 2-week winters, flooded roads Posted: June 18, 2009 9:44 pm Eastern © 2009 WorldNetDaily The forecast from a new report by the Obama administration on global warming warns North Carolina's beaches could be swallowed up by the sea, New England's long winters could last two weeks and Chicago? Watch out for deadly heat waves. But scientists who have evaluated the warnings and forecasts says it is a "scare" report that has little relation to reality. "This is not a work of science but an embarrassing episode for the authors and NOAA," said meteorologist Joe D'Aleo, the former chairman of the American Meteorological Society's Committee on Weather Analysis and Forecasting. The scientist, who publishes the IceCap.US report, said the report "starts out DAY ONE being wrong on many of its claims. … They gave the administration the cover to push the unwise cap-and-tax agenda." According to the Guardian, the original report was unveiled recently and cited "heavy downpours, rising sea levels, and blistering summer heat waves produced by man-made climate change." It warned of possible sudden death for humanity, because the "projected rapid rate and large amount of climate change over this century will challenge the ability of society and natural systems to adapt." The release of the report, "Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States," was orchestrated by a media consulting company and comes just as Congress is approaching a vote on plans for huge new taxes on energy. Jane Lubchenco of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration told a press conference at the release the report is a "game-changer." The report claims the average temperatures in the U.S. have risen by 1.5 degrees across five decades, and sea levels are up eight inches. That has disrupted salmon, shifted butterflies and raised asthma rates, the report said. And without immediate intervention, it said climate models suggest temperatures 11 degrees higher by the year 2099. The result? Declining wheat and corn crops, food poisoning and the spread of diseases. Also, 2,400 miles of roads in the Gulf Coast could be swamped and electric grid failures are possible because of the demand for air conditioning. The report was released by 30 NOAA scientists, environmental activists and media strategists, but according to a report on Climate Depot, amounts to scaremongering. [CONTINUE READING]

The Jevons Paradox: An Inconvenient Truth ~ By Jeff Jacoby

It seems intuitive: Increasing the fuel-efficiency of automobiles — or anything else that runs on gas — should lower the demand for oil. But guess what? It ain't so. "It is a confusion of ideas to suppose that the economical use of fuel is equivalent to a diminished consumption," Jevons wrote. "The very contrary is the truth." read more | digg story ~ Submitted by Indyanna

Capitol Hill Commies Protect Gore, Ban Scientist's Testimony

Washington Democrats in the House of Representatives have refused to allow debate during a global warming hearing today. They don’t want Gore humiliated. UK's Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, claimed House Democrats have refused to allow him to appear alongside former Vice President Al Gore at a high profile global warming hearing on Friday April 24, 2009 at 10am in Washington. Monckton told Climate Depot that the Democrats rescinded his scheduled joint appearance at the House Energy and Commerce hearing on Friday. Monckton said he was informed that he would not be allowed to testify alongside Gore when his plane landed from England Thursday afternoon. “The House Democrats don't want Gore humiliated, so they slammed the door of the Capitol in my face,” Monckton told Climate Depot in an exclusive interview. “They are cowards.” [Continue reading]

The sky is falling, the sky is falling! ~ By Melanie Morgan

Yes, Chicken Little, the sky is falling and we are all doomed to die! At least, that's what Al Gore and his gangs of cap-and-traders want us to think. They have manufactured a crisis about global warming that is going to cost us trillions of dollars, thrown into a wormhole in the universe, never to be seen again.

Dispelling the Global Warming Myth

Earlier this month, the Heartland Institute sponsored the 2009 International Conference on Climate Change in New York. The Conference differed from most such events in that it was devoted to science, not politics or propaganda. Heartland has now made the materials presented at the conference available online, here. You can review the agenda, watch videos of the keynote presentations, read transcripts of some of the speeches, and see the Power Points that were presented by the speakers. More information will be posted as it becomes available. read more | digg story ~ Submitted by buddywlkr3

Gore: Stark raving bonkers - By Joseph Farah

Al Gore is clinging to his nutty global warming rhetoric for several possible reasons: He is at a irreversible tipping point, so ride the wave as long as possible before fading into obscurity; he sold his soul to promote anxiety to promote global socialism; and/or he is stark raving bonkers; or most likely, all of the above! It's all "globaloney"!
