Poor Al Gore – Climate Gate possibly claims another victim

It appears Mr. Gore has canceled his big important speech.

Just read this article.  Big brother has been trying to convince me of AGW for a while now, citing much of the hard work done by the IPCC (the East Anglia group are part of the IPCC scientists).  I have always been skeptic based on all of the contrary evidence out there from other scientists.  With all of the leaked emails it appears that much of the “best” evidence of warming/change has been falsified.

There are plenty of Climate Change Alarmists out there saying that these emails don’t mean a thing.  The decision for Al Gore to cancel what he enjoys doing most (preaching the ever-present, imminent danger posed by this warming), makes me think that these emails are more than the average liberal Alarmist wants to admit.

There is plenty of evidence out there to prove that there is no need to be so alarmed about climate change. This is by far the best read. It is a little lengthy, but completely worth it to educate yourself on warming/climate change.

So if there is all of this empirical scientific evidence out there to debunk the “scare-you-to-death” tactics practiced by these alarmists, why are they so emphatic about defending it?  The same science that the Liberal Alarmists use to disprove God, is the same science that they choose to ignore when it comes to climate change.  Why?   I’ll tell you why.  It’s simple.  Because Global Warming fits their agenda.  The alarm that the end of the world could be coming soon because of our actions is so much in line with their fundamental ideas for government.  It’s much like the current Health Insurance Bill that President Obama is trying to push through.  Health Care needs help (not overhaul), but by creating the idea that it is this horrible thing virtually killing us all, they are able to have support from their constituents.  It’s the same with Climate Change.  Because there is an overwhelming reason (not anymore) to save the planet they are allowed to grow government and add regulations (IPCC panel for cap and trade).

But now with the Professor of Climate Change canceling his speech at the worlds biggest forum on that very subject, it leads me to think that there might be more fallout to come.  Don’t get me wrong.  CO2 emmissions should be reduced.  It is the responsible thing to do.  We must protect our home where generations of our families will live for years to come.  And while we are nowhere near making a catostrophic difference in the atmosphere (50 years is so short when compared to the life of the earth), without responsible actions to reduce emissions and pollution we could very well kill the planet over the course of thousands of years.

So in closing, it makes much more sense that Al Gore would buy a $4 million beach house so close to sea level while touting a 40ft ocean level rise.  It appears as if he never believed it as well and is just as much into making money and “my boy” Glenn Beck.  Hey, it’s capitalism.  If you can market it, you can sell it!

V – Visitors or Communists? Or are they the same?

OK so to anyone who has not yet seen the new show on ABC “V”, I would like to provide you a link to HULU where you can watch it with very limited commecial interruption. Click here

If you do not trust my link I believe Fancast.com (run by comcast) may have it too but with more interruptions.  HULU is a secure site for watching your favorite TV episodes after they have run.  On to the comparisons:

I have always enjoyed Science Fiction; Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Independance Day, and I even got into Star Trek for about a year.  So when ABC began running the ads for this show I became excited.  Thursday night NBC programming is really the only night of programming that I look forward to, so the idea that another night of interesting programming might be coming lured me to watch the pilot of V.  It started like many other shows and Sci-Fi flicks giving you a breif introduction to your future main characters with a short glimpse of their life before the Visitors appear.  The ships appear and confusion reigns, but then the broadcast begins to clear up the confusion immediately.  They are here in peace and are pleased to find that another intelligent race exists.  I thought that the clapping and immediate general acceptance was a little overdone, but I am not a producer so whatever.

What follows quickly got me drawing parallels to our current administration in the United States:  The indoctrination of our children by means of appeal, community organizations to spread the good word, offering universal health care to all, selection and regulation of media, global government,  and using terms like “to give hope to the people” and “change for the sake of the people”.  This show quickly made me a huge fan as I took it as a direct comparison to our current situation.

Indoctrination of children is possibly a very fine line because what President Obama actually said to school children versus what was initially planned (what can you do to help the president work sheets) is very different.  No one can doubt the role that community organizations have taken in present society.  Not only was our president an organizer himself, but there was a monumental movement made by several community organizations not just in the presidential race but also in the Democratic Primary where President Obama was trailing Sec. Clinton for most of the period before the polls opened.

The statement about Universal Health Care for all is what made me stand out of my chair.  Surely that did not just happen?  Not on ABC!  Well I guess it wasn’t NBC so ok I’ll let it slide.  The basic fundamentals of Communism are founded by providing free health care and education to all.  This creates a crutch or a false trust/dependency on your leaders.  Who can argue against free health care?  If you oppose the idea then you portrayed as opposing saving the lives of the poor under-deserved.  But I am not writing to compare and contrast the opposing sides of Private or Government run health care because there are horror stories on both sides and to be honest that would make this blog a little too lengthy.

The next parallel is seen in the selection and regulation of media.  The leader of the Visitors selects a young aspiring video journalist to be the single reporting voice of the Visitors to the rest of the world.  Of course he is initially flattered, but becomes concerned when he is asked not to ask questions that paint the Visitors in a negative light.  This is yet another basic fundamental to bringing upon Communism.  There have been several advisors in the current administration that agree with this idea (i.e. Mark Lloyd, FCC Regulation Advisor, on Hugo Chavez in Venezuela).  We have recently seen this with the current administration attacking Fox News asking them to not be treated as a real news network and refusing to grant them interviews.  Most of Fox News’ programming is strict video journalism, in which the news is shown and discussed by the anchors in a objective and unbiased fashion.  Because of this, all of the other major news networks agreed against the White House because it would inevitably effect the future of their own existence.  Imagine if the media was not able to report against the many fallacies of former president George Bush!  Obviously the White House does not like the conservative pundits (O’reilly, Limbaugh and Beck).  But as long as we have the two party system where people are fundamentally and morally different, conservative and liberal pundits will exist.

The next item on the list which is Global Government has just entered the fray.  The global climate change bill that President Obama will sign with many other world leaders will create the first global governing body that will be able to take precedence over any national government that is a part of it.  Now, grant it, we are only talking about extra taxes for extra emissions but the simple matter of it is that we will be signing away some of our freedoms to a governing body that will not have our needs at the forefront of our minds.  There are several that argue that this bill would just be the beginning of a larger global government body.  Let me set the record straight before you get upset with me.  I am all for being more responsible as an individual and a country when it comes to the environment.  I am ok with President Obama mandating emission restrictions on future automobiles because not only is it in the best interest of the environment, it is also in the best interests of the United States edging us closer away from foreign oil dependence.  But to hand over the regulations to a governing body that will tax us for not being as green as a country that doesn’t have 1% as much manufacturing as us and then spreading that money to the less developed countries?  Say it ain’t so!

Back to the show.  If there was any doubt to the parallels from the show to our current administration, then here are the kickers.  In two key lines of dialogue they use the words “hope” and “change”.  These were the two key words/ideas that President Obama built his campaign around.

To get back to the Sci-Fi aspect, the end of the episode reveals to us that the Visitors are actually here to exterminate us for our natural resources.  But there are some Visitors that sympathize with us and want to help us beat the invaders.

All in all I am very interested and I will be looking forward to how the plot line (and undertones) develop.  Add it to your list of shows to watch Tuesdays at 8/7central.  Or just DVR it!

Hello world! Or the two people that will see this post!

First post and I’m going to keep it short because I’m busy today.  I just felt compelled to begin my blog when I saw this story posted by Yahoo.  I normally sigh whenever a Yahoo news story has the words Obama, Republicans, or Democrats in the title.  This is because, let’s face it, they normally only tell one side of the story.  But this story was a pleasant surprise.  Maybe some of the MSM is beginning to wake up.  I know I have.  Here it is.  

This is complete hypocrisy and if it continues to occur then it is just another double standard and the main reason that I was ticked off enough to start this blog.
