Global Warming: The Great Unravelling

The unravelling of the greatest, most massive fraud in the history of mankind is beginning to happen now at an increasingly rapid pace. New revelations of data manipulation, falsifying of findings, and the serial baselessness for the spectacular fright claims contained in the UN IPCC report and the messaging of Pope Al Gore are now flying at us on almost a daily basis. I've long predicted this would all come about, and that Pope Al would ultiimately go down in history as the P.T. Barnum of the 21st century, but it is now happening at a pace I never envisioned.


Here is a terrific piece by British Professor Philip Stott describing the breathtaking disintigration of the grand narrative.  A few key exerpts:

Moreover, the collapse has been quicker than any might have predicted. The humiliating exclusion of Britain and the EU at the end of the Copenhagen débâcle was partially to be expected, but it was brutal in its final execution. The swing of power to the BASIC group of countries (Brazil, South Africa, India, China) had likewise been signified for some time, but, again, it came with precipitate ease, leaving even the American President, Barack Obama, with no doubts as to where the political agenda on climate change was now heading, namely to the developing world, but especially to the East, and to the Pacific Rim. The dirigiste tropes of ‘Old Europe’, with its love of meaningless targets and carbon capping, will no longer carry weight, while Obama himself has been straitjacketed by the voters of Massachusetts, by the rust-belt Democrats, by a truculent Congress, by an increasingly-sceptical and disillusioned American public, but, above all, by the financial crisis. Nothing will now be effected that for a single moment curbs economic development, from China to Connecticut, from Africa to Alaska.

...

I have long predicted, and in public too, that the Copenhagen Conference could prove to be the beginning of the end for the Global Warming Grand Narrative. It appears that I may well have been right, and, indeed, I may have considerably underestimated the speed, and the dramatic nature, of the demise.

You and me both, Professor, you and me both.

Let "Washington" Do It

One of the most fascinating parts of watching President Barack Obama deliver his State of the Union Address to congress last week was hearing his repeated derogation of Washington DC, and its failure to address what ails the nation. It seemed that the President blamed “Washington” for all the bad stuff going on even more than he blamed George W. Bush.


He went on and on, slamming the “pettiness” of “partisan politics”, derogating the “Washington gimmicks” that do nothing but make problems worse. He said we have to “move beyond” the “same tired battles” that have defined national politics in recent years, and even said that the evil boogeyman “Washington” is “unable or unwilling to solve any of our problems”.

Now, you can imagine that all of this anti-“Washington” rhetoric left me feeling a bit whiplashed. After all, we have spent the last 12 months looking on as our young and inexperienced President has done nothing but seek “Washington” solutions to everything that ails us as a country.

Got a recession going on? Hey, let ol’ “Washington” waste $787 billion of your dollars on a fake “stimulus” bill that was really nothing more than a means of dramatically raising the baseline for all sorts of wasteful discretionary federal programs. Oops – we’ve got a $1.4 trillion deficit? Why, we’ll get “Washington” to put a “freeze” on those discretionary programs whose baseline budgets we’ve just increased by about 40% - we can afford it now. General Motors is about to go bankrupt? How about letting “Washington” take over and run the company – he can do it! It’ll only cost $50 billion or so, the first year.

The Saturday Situation

I swear, this presidency just becomes more and more absurd with each passing day.  Wait, did I say "passing"?  That's a football term, right?  How appropo, as they say in all the right cocktail parties in the nation's capital.

The big news this morning is that your President, Barack (the Hussein is silent) Obama, has his Justice Department studying ways to tinker with major college football's means of determining a national champion. That's right:  In the middle of the Great Recession, with a 10% rate of unemployment and a 17% rate of underemployment, with foreign policiy crises popping up all over the world and Islamic terrorists bringing incendiary devices onto our jetliners in their underpants, your President continues to have a laser-like focus on the trivial and the absurd.  This guy is quickly making me long for the days of the Carter Administration.

In Church of Global Warming news, it now turns out that the head of the UN's IPCC knew the information regarding melting Himalayan glaciers contained in his organization's "scholarly" report was false before December's climate summit in Copenhagen, but chose to wait two months before releasing the information.  Golly, a Global Warmist is a liar?  Man, that is shocking.

Barack Obama - The Teleprompter Presidency

Further proof the man is purely an empty suit - he has to bring his teleprompter with him to speak to his Middle Class Task Force:

Friday Morning State of Play

Biggest story of the day:  the White House has instructed the Justice Department to find another venue for the Khalid Sheikh Mohammed trial.  Seems New York Mayor Bloomberg, who initially supported the idiotic decision to try KSM in lower Manhattan, has figured out how many NY small businesses would be killed by two years of ultra-high security and the media frenzy it would produce.  Gee, what a freaking brain surgeon this guy is.

My prediction:  KSM will never stand trial in a U.S. civilian court.  Gitmo will never be closed.  The congress will stop both from taking place.

Megan McCain says Sarah Palin could win the presidency in 2012. She's not crazy.  I'll be writing more on this subject over the weekend.

George Will tells you why Sam Alito was right and the President was wrong about the Court's decision to allow limited corporate contributions to issue-related political advertising.  I know it's shocking this President could be wrong, of course...

Wednesday Morning Roundup

Posting this from Austin, my favorite city in the world...

Bob Herbert, who works for a newspaper, the NY Times, which never once bothered to ask who Barack Obama really was during the 2008 presidential campaign, this morning is asking who is Barack Obama, really?  And (sniff) he's so goshdarn (sniff, sniff) disappointed in his hero, the President (sniff).  Of course, had the NY Times bothered to actually report on who Barack Obama really is back in 2007 and 2008, we would probably have avoided this feckless, incompetent and utterly disastrous presidency.

All of which leads me to the conclusion that Bob Herbert and everyone else at the near-bankrupt NY Times can go (bleep) themselves.

You won't see much reporting on this in our hopelessly dishonest mainstream, leftist news media, but this is a big deal. Terrance Corcoran is one of the lead authors of the original IPCC report, and a long-time high-visibility proponent of man-made global warming theory.  When guys like this start calling for investigations and resignations, you know the whole house of cards is getting ready to come tumbling down.  Yay.

Politico this morning has an excellent piece on how the leaders in the neo-Fascist Democrat Party are beginning to eat one another.   This is so ugly, it's beeeyutyful.

Tuesday Morning Roundup

Interesting stuff out there this morning, especially if you want more insight into the President's thought process regarding his policy priorities.  I've told you for a year now that this guy is a true believer radical leftist, and unlike Bill Clinton, getting re-elected is not his first priority.

If you need confirmation of that from the horse's mouth check out this video.  "I'd rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president."  To a Saul Alinsky (the real spiritual head of today's Democrat Party, pictured at left) disciple, that  means he'd rather keep trying to institutionalize as much neo-fascist policy as he possibly can over the next three years, whether via legislation or regulation (like the EPA's move to regulate carbon emissions under the Clean Air Act), than worry about moderating himself in order to improve his public standing and increase his chances for re-election.

This is a very, very dangerous man.
