Quotes of the day
posted at 9:15 pm on November 27, 2009 by Allahpundit
“Global warming was a fraud, and it has now been exposed.
“That little fraud would have cost the taxpayers of the world trillions of dollars, not to mention wrecking their economies with carbon taxes and penalties.
“But that’s not even the worst of it. The most important take home lesson is that global frauding was the clear and conscious work of a political machine aiming to steal your money, your liberties, and your country. It was a massive, worldwide attempt at a coup d’etat, and the victims were going to include all the free and prosperous peoples of the world.”
***
“From my reading, the most damning e-mails are those in which scientists seem to be trying to squelch dissent from climate-change orthodoxy — threatening to withhold papers from journals if they publish the work of naysayers, vowing to keep skeptical research out of the official U.N.-sponsored report on climate change…
“The fact is that climate science is fiendishly hard because of the enormous number of variables that interact in ways no one fully understands. Scientists should welcome contrarian views from respected colleagues, not try to squelch them. They should admit what they don’t know.
“It would be great if this were all a big misunderstanding. But we know carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, and we know the planet is hotter than it was a century ago. The skeptics might have convinced one another, but so far they haven’t gotten through to the vanishing polar ice.”
***
“I have seldom felt so alone. Confronted with crisis, most of the environmentalists I know have gone into denial. The emails hacked from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia, they say, are a storm in a tea cup, no big deal, exaggerated out of all recognition. It is true that climate change deniers have made wild claims which the material can’t possibly support (the end of global warming, the death of climate science). But it is also true that the emails are very damaging.
“The response of the greens and most of the scientists I know is profoundly ironic, as we spend so much of our time confronting other people’s denial. Pretending that this isn’t a real crisis isn’t going to make it go away. Nor is an attempt to justify the emails with technicalities. We’ll be able to get past this only by grasping reality, apologising where appropriate and demonstrating that it cannot happen again.”
***
“‘I’m sticking with the 2,500 scientists. These people have been studying this issue for a very long time and agree this problem is real,’ said Ms. Browner, who President Obama has tapped as his chief of policy on global warming…
“Ms. Browner initially shrugged when asked about the e-mails, saying she didn’t have a reaction.”

This isn’t going to help the central bankers efforts to move even more money up the “national debt chain” from us to them…. No “Cap ‘n Tax”… failing “Health Tax”.
Global Warming is and always has been a fraud. If and when these two items fail, there will just be some other contrived reason for substantially raising our taxes.

Al started a hoax. Which started the whole world thinking they were going to be a frying.
But what Al didn’t see was that the joke would be on he.
Oh, no, Al started to cry. Which started the whole world laughing.
Oh, if he’d only seen that the joke would be on he.
Al looked at the skies. Running his hands over his snowed up eyes.
And he fell from his throne. Cracking his head on the ice and choking on things that he’d said.
Till Al’s power finally died. Which started the whole world

Oh, no, that the joke would be on he.

The self taught man seldom knows anything accurately, and he does not know a tenth as much as he could have known if he had worked under teachers, and besides, he brags, and is the means of fooling other thoughtless people into going and doing as he himself has done.
Ack, that’s to complex. Monkey See, Monkey Do.
That’s better.

No freaking kidding.
Many,many,many people stated this for years only to be scoffed at,ridiculed,and called “flat earthers” by all the “smart ones”.
But now even the average 5th grader can see that the eco-fundamentalist have been the true idiots,especially the ones that bragged about the famous “hockey stick” graph that was used to push their bogus theories for so long.
Now we know the hockey stick graph is in the same league as the 2007 NIE……nothing but bullsh!t!!:

And Obama is on his way to Copenhagen.
Cutting U.S. carbon dioxide emissions by one-sixth in just a decade would increase the cost of energy as electric utilities pay for capturing carbon dioxide at coal-burning power plants or switch to more expensive alternatives. The price of gasoline probably would increase, and more fuel-efficient automobiles — or hybrids that run on gasoline and electricity — probably would be more expensive.

First, they’re easy. Second, once they get to know you, they’re easy to turn from the dark side. Third, the few you can’t turn, the far easier it is to fire them…

And people like me who don’t have a mortgage (but I can get gas) go without.
I want you taxed for that!

Lib chicks are sluts, not the ones to bring home to Mom.
They’re best left on their dark side. They want to play, so why not use them as they want to be toyed.
For something valuable, a conservative woman is to be sought and kept. At least they don’t have a bedroom body count.

It allows idiots to get rich whilst us common folk deal with global warming.

Ah, but you can get rich, too. You just have to be savvy enough.

Another excellent point.
All those clowns speak of the downtrodden, but they never give their wealth to feeding the needy. Their concept of ‘charity’ is to give to PETA and the Dem Party.
Like that feeds the hungry and clothes the naked.
For all the spite of people like Sheen, at least my church puts food into the hungry tummies of children.

Willy, you’re being toooooo serious. Even for this late hour.
There are many things in life to be mad, passionate and serious in life. This is not one of them.
Faith, is a human trait that some have either denied, or at least try to disguise as emotional flatulence. Either way, it’s not the topic here. The topic is the religion of global warming. Which is a faith by some.
It just smells bad. That’s my point.

And we’re damn tired of the discrimination against our types, not to mention the chickification of the country and the culture.
TXUS on November 28, 2009 at 1:18 AM
Yeah, Carol Browner, just go ahead and ignore the issue. Just like you turned a blind eye to the dangers of MTBEs back when you pushed for them to be added to gasoline.
This idiot has no place in a sane government. Glenn Beck could do a week of shows on her.

Liam on November 28, 2009 at 1:21 AM
Willy, I really don’t care if you’re 15 or 51, but since I hit a nerve with you, then again, asking TXUS is kinda forward don’tcha think. What is this date night?
I didn’t attack you, you just too it the wrong way. As you will ultimately take this post. You are missing the larger picture, so let me try and clue you in.
Being on the same page? The topic of this thread is about global warm scams. Which is what I was trying to communicate with you. A discussion, in your words.
You got on a rant about faith, to which I took as the religion of global warming. Then the admission of being William, which could be nicked named as Willy….. but I digress….
OT: So is global warming a crime against faith, or not?
And take the chip off your shoulder will ya…. sheesh!!

Accountability in the scientific community is needed.
If those in the science circles don’t admonish this atrocity, then they are going to destroy what credibility science have left.
We might as well go back to witch doctors, shamans, and palm reading for our science. Hell, leaches might be better to fix this bloodletting.

You’ve shown yourself to me, being insulting like the other libs here.
Got your number. When the other good people here have done an offense, they apologize right away. you do not. You are self-righteous, you’re a lib in my book, right or wrong on my end.
Liam on November 28, 2009 at 1:44 AM
Whelp,
I should have known….. couldn’t see the forest through the bushes…. anyway back to the topics with real commentators.
It’s interesting that shrinking glaciers and vanishing snows on Mount Kilimanjaro have been the rallying points for the claim that Anthropogenic Global Warming is the cause.
Humans are the cause. These are the same people that claim overpopulation is killing the planet.
It’s ironic, because these people don’t have the courage to do someting about it. By off’ing themselves to the GAIA goddess.
I mean more, for us. In the long run.
Kini on November 28, 2009 at 1:47 AM
Your endless insults show you’re a lib playing at being a conservative.
All you libs can do is insult, like simplesimon.
you think you’re so smart, but you show yourself by dodging direct questions. The only one you’re fooling is yourself.
Liam on November 28, 2009 at 1:51 AM
No, I never slept with her, thought she might be underage. -_*
Seriously, I’ve no bloody idea what you asked. Didn’t learn the language, just some of the history.
TXUS on November 28, 2009 at 1:53 AM
I am thoroughly tired of this shyte.
If evidence from global warming exists as anthropogenic accusations insist and was an exact science, wouldn’t one expect to see more of these a regional effects coalesce into a global warming effect?
It’s cold out there. Let’s someone do a construct of the sales of say, Bermuda or cargo shorts as the percentage of down vests and snorkel parkas purchased. It get’s us closer to the Real World, don’t it?
Thus far the Polar bears seem to be the scape goat.
Or, could it be that Polar bear farts are destroying the ozone deliberately?
Nuke the baby seals!!!
