Phil Jones: Not “Pervert[ing] The Peer Review Process”

Photo from fOTOGLIF

With the release of information contained in allegedly hacked emails from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia last November, the main question still unanswered by most is whether any of the information formulated in years of study on the climate is valid. Emails seem to clearly indicate there was a conspiracy to withhold data that had been requested through the Freedom of Information Act. Evidence weighs heavy that data was left out, hidden, and/or manipulated to achieve desired results, along with other damning evidence that should make any reasonable thinking person question the results.

Obama To Redirect FWS Resources Toward Climate Research And Land Acquisition

Photo from fOTOGLIF

It appears Barack Obama’s promise to return science to its rightful place in dealing with conservation and environmental issues isn’t the science most of us hoped it would be. As a matter of fact, one has to question whether his decision to restructure the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service resources away from existing programs and funnel them into new programs geared toward climate research and land acquisition, has anything at all to do with science. From the New York Times: Read more

Are Some Animal Lovers Caught In An Evolutionary Time Warp?

Photo from fOTOGLIF

I’m sure some would argue that man is not more intelligent or more evolved than the common beasts that inhabit the globe. As much as we have this urge to sometimes place man’s collective intelligence as being less than that of, say a cow, for the most part that is not true. Some of my best friends are brighter than a cow. Well, let’s say at least a slug.

There are two theories as to why we are here on this planet. One is Evolution and of course the other Creation. Which ever one you pick, I think it intelligent rationalization to claim that animals where here first. So, does that give them something over us? Preferential rights? First dibs? I called shotgun?

Let’s take a look. If man “evolved” from animals (take your pick which one), one would assume and some studies suggest that part of that evolution was the expansion of intelligent thinking. I know! I know! Stop thinking about Washington for just a few minutes, Okay? Read more

Three Steps the IPCC Must Take

Washington, D.C.: Statement of National Center for Public Policy Research president Amy Ridenour on what the IPCC must do in wake of unfolding scandals:

In the wake of admissions the IPCC knew all along it was putting bogus science in its 2007 Assessment Report, that the false prediction was included specifically for its “impact on policymakers and politicians,” and that this allegedly was covered up as long as it was because the IPCC chairman was raising money for his personal pursuits based on the prediction, the IPCC must immediately take three steps to restore its credibility. If it does not, the Obama Administration should use its influence to have it shut down. Read more

Half Man – Half Goat? Open Air W/ Tom Remington

From out of Turkey comes the story of a still-born goat fetus that appears to have the head of a man and the body of a goat. Can this be real? Is it biologically possible? Photoshopped picture?

After seeing something like this, it makes we wonder if we might need to make room for such things as “RoXXXy” the sex robot.

Climategate “Hacker” Probably Whistleblower

Photo from fOTOGLIF

Dr. Tim Ball, renowned environmental consultant and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg, writes in the Canada Free Press that more than likely the person who released the emails and documents that have all become part of Climategate, was a whistle blower and not a hacker. And as such this would have profound legal implications.

Whistle blowers are protected by laws and it would also allow for this information to be admissible in a court of law.

Ball indicates there is a list of likely suspects, insiders, who may well have been the whistle blower and points a finger at Keith Briffa, one of the climate scientists who appeared to be a war with those running the show at the Climate Research Unit.

The Copenhagen “Accord”

Photo from fOTOGLIF

Barack Obama rode into town on his carbon-spewing jet plane(s) with the intention of saving the Copenhagen Climate Conference and the planet from complete disaster. What he did was anger the Chinese and other developing countries and then he and his people went to work to create a spin that they salvaged an agreement with four countries on climate change.

According to Christopher Monckton, the four countries, of which he calls the “Forthright Four”, (China, India, Brazil, South Africa) demanded the following four conditions. Read more

Black Activist to Obama: Promote Job Growth by Killing Cap-and-Trade

Washington D.C.: If the White House jobs summit is more than a publicity stunt, says Deneen Borelli of the Project 21 black leadership network, Obama should abandon efforts to implement a cap-and-trade policy, as it would kill jobs.

“If Obama is sincere about finding ways to fix our country’s employment crisis, he should start by putting the brakes on job-killing cap-and-trade legislation,” said Deneen Borelli, a Project 21 fellow.

Obama is promoting today’s summit as a gathering of experts to “jumpstart” hiring and create new jobs. Unemployment recently rose to 10.2 percent, the highest rate since 1983. Read more

Copenhagen About To Freeze While Global Warming Zealots Suffer Major Blow

Makes you wonder if much thought went into the idea of having a “global warming” summit in the winter time? Isn’t that kind of like having a sun and surf exposition in International Falls, Minnesota in January?

The Copenhagen faithful are about to wish global warming was actually a real thing, as forecasters say much of Europe is about to be hit with a blast of Siberian air that will chill the bones. Could it be record cold? Will they blame George Bush? Read more

James Hansen, Climate Scientist Hopes Copenhagen Fails

Not what you think!!!

Or maybe it is what you think. James Hansen heads the NASA Goddard Institute earth sciences unit and he says, according to ABC News, that any agreements that might be reached in Copenhagen next would be so flawed it would better to start over from scratch………whatever exactly that means.

But he bases his claims on the notion that any treaties or agreements would be done on the premise of cap and trade issues like paying extra money to continue polluting.

Is this really what’s behind Hansen’s wish for failure? Even though Hansen is one of the foremost “experts” on global warming, after the recent hack job of emails and documents from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in the U.K., his own data is now under great scrutiny and rumors are flying around that some are interested in suing to get that data.
