Global warming

I like the way they think...

I especially liked this paragraph:

 

"[T]here are a large number of punters [Australian for "customers" or "gamblers"—in this case, skeptical customers who may or may not buy what the government's selling] who object to being treated dismissively as stupid, who do not like being told what to think, who value independence, who resile from personal attacks and have life experiences very different from the urban environmental atheists attempting to impose a new fundamentalist religion. Green politics have taken the place of failed socialism and Western Christianity and impose fear, guilt, penance, and indulgences onto a society with little scientific literacy."

And this internal memo from EPA:

 

“The time for such discussion of fundamental issues has passed for this round. The administrator and the administration has decided to move forward on endangerment, and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision… I can only see one impact of your comments given where we are in the process, and that would be a very negative impact on our office.”

Meanwhile despite everything you have read (and it has been voluminous) about the Arctic and Antarctic ice, we are today exactly average. Thats right, the ice sheets are exactly average for the period 1979 to the present not larger and not smaller. Here's the graph of the period of 1979 until today. This is from the University of Illinois site which is a pro global warming/climate change but at least they (unlike the EPA) will still show the data without squelching any that does not agree with their hypothesis.

Our current crop of Politicians use the "climate change" myth to advance their agendas, so there is no way that its going to change for awhile.
