Turkey-Day & Climate Change

From THE ECONOMIST: “Leaked climate-change e-mails Climategate, part two”, Nov 24th 2011, 8:55 by H.G.

“CLIMATE sceptics are jubilant. In a reprise of the run-up to the Copenhagen climate-change summit in 2009, a fresh batch of possibly compromising e-mails has been released on the eve of the latest round of UN climate talks in Durban, South Africa. "All your favorite Climategate characters are here,  once again caught red-handed in a series of emails exaggerating the extent of Anthropogenic Global Warming, while privately admitting to one another that the evidence is nowhere near as a strong as they'd like it to be."

Don’t you love this: ”the evidence is nowhere near as a strong as they'd like it to be"?

When have you ever known a scientist to say the evidence is the evidence is “as a strong as they'd like it to be"?  They are never satisfied!  They are always searching for errors and points that need adjustment.

On the other hand, “Dr Watson thinks that nothing in the e-mails challenges the fact that the world has warmed significantly in the last 100 years and that this has most likely been caused by human beings spewing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.”

OK – two possibilities: Either we are contributing to global warming, or we are not.  We cannot say we are the “absolute cause”, because there is more than enough evidence to show warming and cooling are cyclical realities spanning thousand of millennia.

But we might be making global climate worse.  Or, as critics argue, having no effect at all.

Does anyone refute that we are making it dirtier?  Hence making the air denser to sunlight.

Does anyone refute that dirt makes things worse? Or that a dirty window has different light properties than a clean one?

So whatever we are doing, there is no rational doubt that we are affecting the environment in some way.  Thus it falls to the doubter to PROVE that we are mitigating, or improving, the heating that would be part of the natural cycle.  Just saying we aren’t making it worse – well, who  gives a damn!

We know we are making the world dirtier and less healthy to our species.  We need to correct that – if that means mitigating global warming, than gee wiz willy curs … guess we get a free benefit.

But look to those who dispute global warming – the same “MOST HARM TO MOST PEOPLE” group that opposes healthcare, taxes on rich, and shipping our jobs to foreign nations while borrowing all it can from whatever nation wants to own the United States.

Pew Report – America is Anti-Christ Nation

Weird as it might seem, where we put are values, what we deem important reflect upon the adherence to Christian Doctrine.  Look at the chart: 

“Nobody is in need” – help your neighbor, the poor, the sick – don’t count the change in their pocket, just address their obvious basic needs.  Half as many Americans as Europeans believe in those basic principles.

Look at the Evangelicals, or Republican Party they support:  Anti-Education, Anti-Medical care, Anti-LIHEAP (the money that provides heat to the poor during the winter, which they recently cut by about 50%).

What do they favor?  Military force and incursion so that innocent people can be killed; anything that will cause death and destruction; anything that will cause harm to others; anything which will damage the planet and make it unlivable.

The so-called Christians & the GOP implementers of their policies, are opposed to alternate energy and promote rampant fuel consumption.  Worse, they are disarming the nation – so as to ensure ultimate victory for terrorist.  HOW? 

Clearly, you haven’t read my earlier blogs.  If we consume our limited oil supplies, while leaving the massive foreign supplies intact, we will lack fuel for our tanks and planes – if we ever again have a true enemy.  Al Qaeda need only control the OPEC nations to win its Jihad.  We pump our fuel out – run dry – and they can charge anything they wish for their resources.  We pump our fuel out – run dry – and our army cannot be mobilized – we will have no fishing or shipping industry – we will have no cars.

Even electric cars need an external power source.  But they aren’t building windmills (as the Europeans are doing).  We are not taking advantage of geothermal energy, … or solar.  When we really need it, who will provide the technology?  And at what cost?

Yep.  American is anti-Christ in all its actions.

Specifically, American Christians are Anti-Christ in everything they support and promote.  If that were not true, what Republican could stand and claim that G-D spoke to him, as was spoken to Moses?

Thing you can do.

Killing of Osama Bin Ladin

Seems the reports of his death – while accurate as to the fact that he is dead – were knowingly false as to the way he died.

Osama died grabbing for an automatic rifle.  That simple.  He did not go quietly, and it was – MOST DEFINATELY – NOT a kill mission on the part of the troops engaged in the finale.

Only real issues involved are: How could this guy have lived where he did, for as long as he did?   And, how could a guy who supposedly needed regular medical treatments – using expensive equipment – receive that treatment and not be on international radar screen?  How di the Republicans under G.W. Bush manage to conceal his whereabouts that well?

Bush must have actively concealed the information from the troops.  Or how could a new administration have so easily have found the most wanted man in history?

Concealment by Bush is consistent with the fact that Bush followed an 1990’s Osama directive seeking to eliminate Saddam Hussein – and destabilize the most stable Islamic (American allied)  government in the region .

Hey neat though … in exactly twelve months we get to vote the Republicans back into that position of power … wonder what they are planning?  Think they’ll again double the national debt and invite the terrorists to destroy another landmark structure?

You willing to bet your future and that of your children and grandchildren that that isn’t exactly what they have planned for 2013 and the decade to follow?

Be a good Republican & bring

- the Most Harm to the Most People -   

Idiots Abound

ABC News reports this statement: “’Reagan was the most successful president of the 20th century,’ Reagan Legacy Project Chairman Grover Norquist told Devin Dwyer of ABC News earlier this year. ‘He took a country that was in economic collapse and military in retreat round the globe and turned it completely around.’”  Thus they wish Reagan to have a place as the fifth president to be honored on Mt Rushmore.

Reagan doubled the national debt, and attacked alternative energy – factually and with the symbolic removal of solar collectors from the Whitehouse.  Both of these actions weakened, and now threaten to destroy, the United States.

Consider “The country was in economic collapse” – after GW Bush, that is really where the country lay.  If that qualifies someone for Mt Rushmore, than Obama has already earned his place – first for turning around the Republican decimation of the economy, and second for being the first president of Afro-American ancestry AND – given that his father was not native born, the first, first-generation child  to attain that status.

Who deserves an honored place on Mt. Rushmore"?

Is it the actor whose brain was slipping away, who managed to act semi-presidential while damaging the nation’s future?  Or is it a man who has honestly achieved greatness?

Reagan served two terms; a year from now Obama stands for his second election.  Sculptor Gutzon Borglum, expressed of the men he honored, a desire to “show posterity what manner of men they were. Then breathe a prayer that these records will endure until the wind and the rain alone shall wear them away.”  Would any American be proud of Reagan, when we run out of oil and are decades behind Europe in the production of wind and solar energy – so far behind that we need to beg OPEC for oil while buying the alternative technology from the United States of Europe – a European Commonwealth?

Of course – Americans have gone out of their way to prove they will buy whatever the Republicans sell.

THE MOST HARM TO THE MOST PEOPLE

being their primary product.

Rhetoric or Fact?

“Last week, every Republican senator filibustered President Obama’s bill to put 400,000 educators and police officers back to work.
You read that right: Teachers. And. Police.”

The Republicans have a history – so does it matter if this is Rhetoric?  You and I both know that the probability is that this is FACT!.

The REPUBLICANS HATE AMERICA!  They go out of their way to prove it.  They say Social Security is in trouble … but neglect to point out that it is their deficit doubling that put it there.  Then, of course, they double the deficit again – just to make sure they have an excuse to destroy social programs.

Funny thing is:  The are the party that has Christian Evangelical backing.  Didn’t Christ promote social programs over war?  Didn’t he say we are to help people – take care of the sick, educate people, see that they have lives which are worth living?

OH RIGHT!  Same people who murdered and tortured and raped in the name of the Inquisition and with hunts.

Oh well.

American “Do unto Others”…

Here’s an Associated Press Story about how much we care about our own – especially our real HEROS:  WE DON’T … at least if you live in Missouri.  Those slim-balls at Worker’s Comp are obviously true examples of fundamentalist Christian Evangelical Republicans.

Who else would care so little?  Who else would violate Scripture so blatantly?  Obviously only those who are heirs to the Inquisitors!  Those who in Islamic Nations would be Terrorists … but here … they practice the Most Harm to the Most People … a person at a time.

Come-on GOP … prove me wrong.

JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) — By all accounts, Mark Lindquist is a hero, an underpaid social worker who nearly gave his life trying to save three developmentally disabled adults from the Joplin tornado. Both houses of the Missouri legislature honored Lindquist, the Senate resolution calling him "a true hero and inspiration to others."

But heroism doesn't pay the bills. The tornado's 200 mph winds tossed Lindquist nearly a block, broke every rib, obliterated his shoulder, knocked out most of his teeth and put him in a coma for about two months.

Lindquist, 51, ran up medical expenses that exceed $2.5 million, and the bills keep coming. He requires 11 daily prescriptions and will need more surgery.

But he has no medical insurance. Lindquist couldn't afford it on a job paying barely above minimum wage. He assumed workers' compensation would cover his bills, but his claim was denied "based on the fact that there was no greater risk than the general public at the time you were involved in the Joplin tornado," according to a letter to Lindquist from Accident Fund Insurance Company of America, his company's workers' comp provider.

____________

One Republican, state Rep. Bill Lant, R-Joplin, did say: "I think they need to take another look at the circumstances and revisit the claim. What he did went beyond heroics."

Two things could be done: 1) Cover the medical and other costs; 2) Fire the slim-bag who sent the letter, along with his immediate supervisor (the smuck had to approve the finding).
