Global Warming is Crap XIII

Take a look at this bright idea:

Cloud Ship Scheme

Did you happen to read some of the other great ideas to reduce global warming? See, this is another reason that the warmies are so bad for us all. Not only are they spending unspeakable sums trying to solve a problem that is at worst not very bad, and closing power plants and eliminating jobs, but they actually propose to do something that actively combats the non-existent threat. Imagine that they succeed in building these things, or similar. I suspect they won't do diddly, but who knows, maybe they will work as planned and we can have another year without summer.

Here we see why the above is so disgusting. Global Cooling anyone? Oh, and before any of you warmies dismiss this article, you may want to really read it and see that it's not written by Rush Limbaugh:

The mini ice age starts here

The first paragraph is pretty much all you need to read on the following, though you should continue. Warmies lie, then claim everyone else is. It's the way of the warmie:

Glacier scientist says he knew data had not been verified

Ah yes, the warmies base their claims on solid science, and the skeptics on pseudo science. After all, mountain climbers and college students are renowned the world over for unmatched exactitude  and rigorous, objective data analysis:

UN Climate change basis

Another return to those good ol' emails.
"Hey, you believe in global warming?"
"Yes I do."
"Great, this study shows it's true."
"Well, then it must be true."
"That's just what I was thinking."
Peer review my ass.

Climate change emails reveal flaw in peer review

That's it for now. At least I'm solidly into 2010.

Gary Johnson

Not sure about Romney nor Obama? Maybe don't like either?

You need to watch this short video. It's a real eye opener:

GM Bailout

The Democrats love to crow about how successful the auto bailouts were. I've noticed they particularly mention GM. Well of course, Chrysler was handed over to Fiat (percent ownership is a detail), but GM is truly Government Motors!

Here is an article that does a great job explaining the reality:

Democrat's GM Fallacy

In the face of this truth, it is interesting to go back to a discussion of this very subject in 2008:

Bailouts: Where to draw the line?

Notice that the two auto companies discussed were GM and Ford. Note that GM got the bailout, and is still not viable, while Ford avoided bailouts, and is doing fairly well (certainly making much better vehicles).

Ford Focus may become world's best seller

But on the GM side:

GM using sub prime loans to drive sales


Chrysler is now led by Sergio Marchionne of Fiat, and a great job he seems to be doing!

Chrysler Sales

GM sales are not so bad, in part due to the sub prime loans and the fact that the federal govt including the military is buying GM cars almost exclusively. But the fundamentals are no better than they were before the bailout so it's a pretty good bet that it'll crash again. Pray they don't get another bailout.

Global Warming is Crap X11

Once again, I let myself fall far behind.
I love this topic though, so I keep on with it. These are all old news here. I suppose I should just let these go and focus on new items. But it's interesting to see old news and compare it to what's happening now. So, I'll post these dusty tidbits.

President Obama had only 4 years to save us all from doom. Well, he aint no Jesus, so he has failed to save us all, with just one year left of human life on earth.
Obama has four years to save us

This is also from 2009, and is not directly related to global warming. But it gives a little insight into the fact that climate is measured over long periods of time, and yelling about one or two incidents just makes you look silly:

year without summer?

Now we know that both sides throw numbers around. But here again, from 2009, we see that the debate has never been "over." The numbers change, up and down, but never ended.

Climate change debate

Boy, I'm just stuck in 09 aint I? It is kind of neat to look back on some of these articles and see that we have indeed been putting up with this crap for too long.

Polar bears are not dying

An admission that there are causes we simply don't know:

Past warming shows gaps in our knowledge

So, uh, how they doin' with this eh?

Britains carbon tax

Old news here too. You've heard about the emails that showed attempts to silence those who were non believers? Did you ever read any quotes from those messages? Very scary, and sad:

Climate emails

If you sit and wonder why we've done little about global warming, well, warmies are liars.

NASA coverup

Anyone remember the coming ice age in the 70's? I was young, but I remember hearing about it. Boy was that scary! Oh, and, uh, WRONG!

Forbes: coming ice age

Hah! But going the other way is dandy I suppose:

Copenhagen climate talks

Now here we see that even after being caught red handed, the warmies can't stop lying and threatening. And they continue to get away with it!

Climategate & George Monbiot

Back to Copenhagen in '09, a leaked paper. Ooooh, secret cool stuff:

Copenhagen leak


There are many more links on my list. Some as old as these. I'll put them up in the future. And this time, I'll keep going enough to catch up in this year.

The Ant and the Grasshopper - Again

For years, there's been emails going around telling two versions of the old ant & grasshopper story. The "new versions" varied little.
But this one is the most extensive and detailed new version I've yet seen. I think it's quite suitable for posting.
From this one, all the way back to the first one ever written, these are great.
I include the old one just in case you are unfamiliar with the original.

OLD

VERSION

The ant works hard in

the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the ant is warm and

well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE

OLD STORY:

Be responsible

for yourself!

MODERN VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving..

CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC

show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper

is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green...'

Occupy the Anthill stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the SEIU group singing,

We shall overcome.

Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright

has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper's sake,

while he damns the ants.

President Obama condems the ant and blames

President Bush 43,

President Bush 41, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight..

Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid

exclaim in an interview with Larry

King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper,

and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity &

Anti-Grasshopper Act

retroactive to the beginning of

the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them bec ause the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Be careful how you vote in 2012.

BE HONEST

A book by A. H. Metwally.

If you are in the hotel business, or plan to be, you owe it to yourself to read this book.
It's very short, and an easy read.

Mr. Metwally immigrated from Egypt and got a job as a hotel clerk. As the years passed, he worked his way up into management positions.
Along the way, he ran afoul of very dishonest people at all levels. Mr. Metwally would not join in on their deceits and found that his honesty paid off in the long run.

He did not write this book for those in the hotel business. He wrote it as an admonition to the reader to be honest in all things, and to show that it is truly better to do so than to lie, cheat, and steal as so many people do to make a quick buck.
But the general info contained in the book is useful enough in itself, even if the moral of the story is ignored.

The original was published by iUniverse.

The book is now titled BE HONEST TO SUCCEED and is published by Publish America.
