When Kyoto was held, the world agreed that there was a problem … scientists wouldn’t lie.
An Inconvenient Truth was released. Children, cat owners and smelly tree-huggers were now frightened witless.
Questions began to be asked of the science. The numbers weren’t adding up. The data was unreliable. The data had been altered. Records were lost. Those who asked the questions were guilty of heresy … they had blasphemed … they were deniers, non-believers, the murderers of future generations. “They should be charged with treason” was the cry from the ‘know it alls’.
When the world discovered that those ‘silly scientists’ had made up their data to achieve a pre-conceived end result, many people took a different view of the ‘catastrophic’ impending disaster.
When Copenhagen came and went, the remainder of the people became aware that the impending disaster, in all reality, may not be too bad after all, as the millions of dollars spent on the Copenhagen Show, achieved … nothing. Or did Copenhagen fail simply because only ‘nut jobs’ and ‘whackos’ attended?
When the world was alerted to the ways of the IPCC, it could be concluded that the global gloom and doom predictions were not even close ... if in fact, were they ever factual to begin with.
So what was learnt from all of this carry on?
Kyoto = the original good-will stunt.
An Inconvenient Truth = the biggest false flag operation in history. (2nd biggest of you believe the moon landings were fake)
Deniers = used to split and confuse the populace ... a diversionary tactic.
Silly Scientists = diversionary tactics.
Copenhagen = smoke and mirrors at their best.
IPCC = a farce … a complete, very expensive, deceptive false front.
But, what if the whole story was a little different … a little more Hollywood?
Even Spielberg couldn’t dream this up.
Once upon a time, a black law student, we’ll call him Barrack, was welcomed to the board of a large Chicago charity organization. This organization, we’ll call it the ‘Foundation’, was originally set-up in 1948 to fund small grants to hospitals and other health organizations.
During Barrack’s 8 year term on the ‘Foundation’ board, he helped fund a Carbon Trading Scheme thru a local friend named ‘John’. John had a brother named ‘Bill’. ‘Bill’ was better known as the Weather Underground terrorist bomber. Bill (the terrorist) also spent time as the aide to Chicago Mayor, Richard M Daley.
This Chicago charity gave nearly US$1.1 million in grants that were “instrumental in developing and launching the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange”.
In 2005, the ‘Foundation’ paid out US$8,385,305 to just one its programs … the Environmental Program.
Barrack and Bill (the terrorist) also served on another ‘charity’ board, an anti-poverty group; we’ll call the ‘Fund’.
From Barrack’s ‘Foundation’ money, the privately owned Chicago Climate Exchange is set up. The Chairman and CEO, we’ll call him Dr. Dave, back in the seventies earned the reputation of being the principal architect of the interest-rate futures market. He is known as the ‘father of financial futures’, and was honored as one of Time Magazine’s ‘Heroes of the Environment’ for his work as the ‘Father of Carbon Trading’.
Dr. Dave assembles a group worthy of him. People from the UN, Government officials, Politicians, Goldman Sachs, Ex US Presidents, The World Bank, The IPCC, JP Morgan, Fannie Mae, International Financial Futures and options Exchange, Government lobbyist’s, Government advisors … all specialist’s within their fields.
Selected as the Honorary Chairman of the CCE Advisory Board, was Richard M. Daley, Mayor of Chicago. (Don’t mention the previous corruption inquiries)
The CCE even has Dr.Rajendra K. Pachauri on their books. That’s the same Pachauri, who so poorly heads the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). The same Pachauri who told us of the impending climate ‘doom & gloom’ we all face, by presenting untruths.
There’s even a Kennedy in there … that’s what’s called a ‘must have’.
One of Dr.Dave’s greatest additions to the team was the now ‘bust’ Fannie Mae head. We’ll call him ‘Franklin’. Franklin uses Fannie Mae (taxpayers) money to buy the technology that will measure and manage carbon, and he patents it. The patent summary has Franklin as the primary inventor and describes how “carbon and other pollutants yet to be determined would be combined into a single emissions pool and traded.”
Just like Fannie Mae’s toxic portfolio of subprime mortgages were. Never forget that trading in ‘Carbon’ is ‘creating something out of nothing’. There is no value behind the market.
Fannie Mae was given the patent for this technology, the day after the now previous Chicago charity board member, Barrack, won the US election.
The CCE expands out of Chicago by starting up the European Climate Exchange, the Montreal Climate Exchange and the Chinese Climate Exchange. All privately owned exchanges.
During CCE expansion, an Ex American Vise President, we’ll call him Al, partners up with ex Goldman Sachs CEO, we’ll call him Dave, and together they start up Generation Investment Management, based in London and later expanding into New York and Sydney.
Their Generation long-term thematic research agenda into global sustainability and renewable energy issues focuses on areas of climate change, poverty and development, ecosystem services and biodiversity, water scarcity, pandemics, demographics and migration, and urbanization.
Generation then go into partnership with Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Beyers, a venture capital company, announcing a collaboration to "find, fund and accelerate green business, technology and policy solutions with the greatest potential to help solve the current climate crisis."
Prominent KPCB Partner, we’ll call him John, joined Generation's Advisory Board. Analysts now suggest that Al has created a conflict of interest by working with GIM and simultaneously being the spokesperson for action on global warming. The Competitive Enterprise Institute believes that the government policies Al advocated to the U.S. Senate "will make him and his friends extremely wealthy at the expense of consumers."
GIM also owns a 10% stake in the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), CCX in turn owns half of the European Climate Exchange. This gives Al a financial bias towards promoting global warming control through the issuing of carbon credits.
Goldman Sachs also buys 10% of the CCX.
Now that all of these partnerships and joint efforts are rolling along, they open a new little company which is offered on the Chicago Climate Futures Exchange called Insurance Futures Exchange Services Ltd. At this stage the word ‘evil’ comes to mind, as this new business lists catastrophe event-linked futures ("ELF"). ELF contracts are standardised exchange-traded futures derivatives contracts (also known as "contracts for difference") providing a binary payment based on catastrophic events which result in insurance industry losses. ELF contracts offer participants the ability to hedge and trade natural catastrophe loss risk outside the framework of conventional insurance and reinsurance contracts. Currently the contracts listed are based on insured losses caused by tropical storms and hurricanes.
It about now that a bit of credibility is needed to add to all of this.
Al gets a Nobel Prize, Pachauri gets a Nobel Prize and Barrack gets a Nobel Prize. Why?
At this point, mention should be made of Pachauri’s Nobel Prize speech, when he repeatedly mentioned his climate change concerns “..have raised the threat of dramatic population migration, conflict, and war over water and other resources, as well as a realignment of power among nations. Some also highlight the possibility of rising tensions between rich and poor nations, health problems caused particularly by water shortages and crop failures...”
Pachauri’s concerns are very similar to those that Generation Investment Management is focusing on. The question to ask; “Is Nature causing the problems, or is a consortium creating them?”
Google – pachauri affair times telegraph
As soon as there is an understanding of Pachauri’s involvements, the realisation is that he is more devious than all of the others put together, and is a story within itself.
CCE, GIM & Goldman Sachs now partner/set-up a new exchange called ENVEX. ENVEX is based in Sydney, with partners Chicago Climate Exchange, Macquarie Capital Group, and the Financial and Energy Exchange.
ENVEX is made up with people from Origin Energy, Macquarie’s Climate Change Investment Team, Australian Securities Exchange, amongst others.
And the non executive chairman of ENVEX is … Bob Carr, the Ex New South Wales Labor Premier. Carr is also a consultant for the Macquarie Bank.
Now, while all of this interest in Australia is happening, there is another group setting themselves up in Perth. They are called CO2 Australia, but they’re selling ‘trees’ in the carbon sequestration scheme.
The CO2 Australia CEO was the lead adviser to the New South Wales Government in relation to implementing the New South Wales Greenhouse Gas Abatement Scheme. The Executive Director is from the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research - a partnership between the CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology, and is also the CEO of the Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Accounting, and is a member of the Victorian Climate Change Minister’s Reference Council on Climate Change Adaptation.
CO2 Australia is already ‘trading carbon’, reliant on their following statement:
“The Federal Government intends to introduce its Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) in 2011. The CPRS will be the key domestic policy response to climate change.”
Kevin Rudd has now put the greatest moral issue of our time on the back-burner. Not only will the 300+ staff in the Department of Climate Change be looking for other jobs, so will Kev. And it won’t be any ‘dream’ job in the U.N., as he envisioned. Rudd was trying to play with the big boys all of the way thru this ‘Climate Farce’, while all of the time he was really just a little kid playing with himself in the sandpit. There is much more at stake here than one Prime Minister. These Carbon Trading guys wouldn’t let Rudd work in the U.N. as a janitor after this back-flip.
So, now you know why the black guy in the story, the one we called Barrack, (did I mention he made it to be President of the United States of America?) is now pushing so hard for a Cap and Trade scheme that will screw the average person. The Government is not running the scam, Barrack’s old mates are.
Barrack now claims that he never had any involvement with John or Bill back in his charity days while at the ‘Foundation’ or the ‘Fund’. He claims he only knows of them because they live in the same general area.
And what are all of these ‘old mates’ of Barrack’s expected to get out of this scam if the Cap and Trade scheme goes thru? US$15 trillion. That’s US$15,000,000,000,000. Of which Al stands to get at least US$75,000,000 from just one of his investment involvements.
With all of that talent saving the world from an impending climate disaster, you would think that just one of those people involved would really be doing this for the ‘saving of the environment’. But there is not one with any environmental credentials. Why would there be? They’ve got thousands of ‘external’ devotees promoting the cause. Every time that some miss-aligned greenie says the words ‘Sea-Levels Rising’, or ‘Ice Caps melting’, or ‘Extinction’, the Carbon Traders hear the sounds of cash registers ….KaChing! Then say to them selves, “We couldn’t have bought that sort of advertising!”
In reality, ‘saving the environment’ has nothing to do with ‘saving the globe from a forthcoming climatic catastrophe’. It’s simply all about money! The real ‘catastrophe’ will be if it fails. The last Financial Crisis stemmed from the housing scams. If the Carbon Trading fails it will be Industry affected.
That’s why Climate Change/Anthropogenic Global Warming is unstoppable. It is here to stay until the next Global Financial Crisis because many of the people who caused the GFC are now running this racket.
To completely understand this sham, spend some time looking more deeply into it.
At least read the FOX News ‘Obama’s Involvement’. Or GOOGLE for further reference.
Do not forget that everything you have already read is about private companies. Not Governments or Green Groups or Feel Good Organisations.
Words like ‘conflict of interest’, ‘insider trading’, ‘un-ethical business practices’ come to mind.
Never forget that the main beneficiaries will be big corporations and proponents of the redistribution of wealth. You are the loser here because you pay more for energy.
But, most importantly, YOU will feel good because YOU saved the planet.

The alarmist news group header read:
HA! HA! Balloon records show surface level warming
These very robust global yearly mean ground data are graphed here
These possible ‘crackpot’ claims always need to be tested. After the NOAA data was obtained, it was noticed that there were SIX sets of balloon data. Why this one was chosen, without comparison, is not known. The first thing to check was the warmist’s claim.
It’s pretty close, although his/hers is visually ‘stretched’ for effect. Also notice the use of degrees K. Maybe this could be a real scientist at work. But for this purpose, simply read the temp as C.
The temperature increase trend of 0.011 per year is 0.11 per decade, or 1.1 per century.
Is this ‘dramatic warming’ alarming? No. Even if this trend was to continue, it is no more than what would be expected by natural variances … 1 degree in 100 years.
But what the alarmist DIDN’T show is interesting.
Weather balloons measure various criteria throughout the atmosphere, at pre-determined pressure levels. These range from surface to around 80,000 feet. The data was obtained from 85 locations across 46 countries. The data provided for this ‘warming’ headline contained 13 sets of records, not just the one. Why the alarmist chose only the surface record to examine is unknown.
If all data was analysed and shown, the headline should have read:
Troposphere Slightly Warming while Stratosphere Dramatically Cools.
| Altitude – feet (meters) | Trend (Degrees K) | Trend per Century (K) |
| Surface | 0.0115 | 1.15 |
| 5000 (1525) | 0.0151 | 1.51 |
| 10000 (3048) | 0.0143 | 1.43 |
| 18000 (5486) | 0.0153 | 1.53 |
| 23000 (7010) | 0.0157 | 1.57 |
| 30000 (9144) | 0.0127 | 1.27 |
| 33000 (10058) | 0.0083 | 0.83 |
| 40000 (12192) | 0.0013 | 0.13 |
| 43000 (13106) | -0.0043 | -0.43 |
| 53000 (16154) | -0.0217 | -2.17 |
| 60000 (18288) | -0.0474 | -4.74 |
| 70000 (21336) | -0.0522 | -5.22 |
| 80000 (24384) | -0.0451 | -4.51 |
The alarmist failed to mention this cooling, or provide any information of why there is this cooling.
Most of the earth’s weather happens in the Troposphere (the first 11 miles), so the Stratosphere cooling can’t be weather related.
The theory of CO2 in the atmosphere causing the earth to become warmer can’t be correct, as only 50% of all atmospheric gases are in the Troposphere (where the weather is), with the remaining 50% gradually depleting out to about 100 kilometers. Regardless of how much CO2 or other gas is pumped into the atmosphere, only 50% of that quantity can affect the earth’s surface by climate alteration due to weather. Therefore if CO2 was the cause of warming, the Stratosphere should also be warming, not dramatically cooling. Maybe CO2 could have an effect on certain weather events, but it certainly is not causing the atmosphere to warm, thereby making the earth hotter.
Gases in the Stratosphere can cause changes to the Ozone layer, but that is not the cause of Global Warming.
The density of gases in the Troposphere decrease with height, therefore CO2 causing an atmospheric warming should be greater at the earths surface, but that is not the case. Warming is more pronounced all the way up to 30000 feet than at the surface, with the highest amount of warming at around 23000 feet.
There must be doubt about climate getting hotter due to long term changes in weather. Weather happens in the Troposphere, more clouds, less clouds, more rain, less rain, more snow, more hotter days, more warmer nights, more droughts, more anything weather related happens here. But these changes can’t happen uniformly, because the Troposphere is not a constant, it is always in a state of flux. At the Equator it is about 11 miles high, at 50 degrees north or south it is about 5.5 miles high, and at the poles 4 miles high. If the atmosphere was causing warming, it could only be due to the Troposphere, as the Stratosphere is cooling. This could not be global because there is twice the effect at the equator than at the poles. If the poles are melting, there MUST be catastrophic heat waves around the pole. Twice the cause for twice the effect.
And I hear the howls of ‘climate and weather are two different things’. Yes they are. It will be hot and dry tomorrow is weather. It’s been hot and dry for the past 5 years is climate.
As can be seen from the preceding data, any warming or cooling is related to altitude and pressure, not CO2.
Why this is happening is a mystery. There are numerous expert opinions regarding H2O emissions into the Stratosphere, greenhouse gases leaking into it, CO2 causing longer wavelength reflections causing the cooling, ozone depletion, etc. But most interesting, is that ALL of the ‘sky is falling’ experts say that the temperature will DECREASE the higher you go into the Troposphere because of various reasons (with formulae to prove it). But the facts show the opposite. There are WARMER than surface temps going up thru the Troposphere.
Also explained was the effect Mt Pinatubo had on the Stratosphere in 1991 following the eruption. Large amounts of sulphate aerosols caused a huge warming in the Stratosphere, and since then we’ve seen a decline from that, giving a false cooling impression. But they don’t explain the massive warming in 1982 and 1964.
The following snippet from another snippet sums it up.
Since 1979 observations imply that the troposphere in the tropics has cooled whereas the surface has warmed.
This contradicts climate model projections, which predict greater warming aloft.
It is also a reversal of an earlier global-mean trend according to the longer radiosonde analyses.
It casts doubt upon our understanding of the climate system and ability to predict future climate changes.
Maybe it’s all to do with the Sun. Maybe the lower level warmth is simply the earth radiating its own heat.
Who knows? I don’t. But I’m obviously not alone.

To Homogenise or not to Homogenise? … that is NOT the question.
To Amplify with Homogenisation or not to Amplify? … that IS the question.
Before going any further, it is important to understand what “Homogenisation” is, and to realize that it has nothing to do with weather, temperature or climate. The use of ‘Homogenisation’ to explain temperature records adjustments is pure ‘living in AGW Land’ spin.
Definitions:
No mention anywhere of climate data records, or any data for that matter. ‘Living in AGW Land’ Spin Doctors have used the wrong word. They should be using the word ‘Assimilate’, not Homogenise.
So, now on to climate homogenisation.
As previously noted, GISS (NASA) have multiple sets of ‘climate’ records. Long term records are the minority, so when one is found, it is worth evaluating.
Godthab Nuuk is one (two) such record(s), from 1881 thru to 2009 with only two years missing … 1899 and 2008.
The two sets of different data are explained by NASA. One is before homogenisation and one after homogenisation.
But first, a bit about Godthab Nuuk.
The city was renamed Nuuk in 1979.
Nuuk is the capital of Greenland, situated about 240 km from the Arctic Circle.
15,105 people, (18,300 with surrounding villages) over a third of Greenland’s population live in Nuuk, one of the least populated capital cities in the world.
There are 72 buses and 2570 cars in Greenland and the majority operate in Nuuk.
Nuuk’s temperature extremes range from an average high of 9.9C in July, to an average low of -10.7C in February/March. The average annual high temperature is 1.74C, with an annual average low temperature of -3.78C
The GISS records for Nuuk have been homogenised to allow for urbanisation, the heat island effect, measuring equipment being placed at the back of air-conditioners, etc., and any ‘errors’ there may have been in previous record keeping (apparently).
The temperature records have been ‘homogenised’ by adding decreasing values of between 0 to -1.2C from the most modern records to the oldest records. Why the choice of this range of values is unknown.
The two different records can be seen in the following chart.
Blue plot before homogenisation, purple plot after homogenisation.
So, where’s the problem? The problem is that older records have been reduced to adjust for any possible inaccuracies in newer records. This amplifies these possible modern inaccuracies, therefore producing a more pronounced warming trend.
Any adjustments should have been made by either increasing past records, to bring them into alignment with modern records, or remove the false values from the modern records.
Why would anyone lower the temperature records from 1881 because unbanisation has forced an increase in real temperature in 2010? Shouldn’t that be the other way around?
When the GISS homogenisation values are reversed and applied, the results show very little warming. This can be seen in the following chart.
Blue plot before homogenisation, purple plot after homogenisation, red plot is reversed homogenisation values added to the original, before homogenisation, data.
The use of homogenisation for a location such as Nuuk is questionable. With a small population, little industry, few motor vehicles, and one hydroelectric power plant, there is no reason to adjust the data, so as to compensate for ‘bad stuff’.
Does homogenisation make that much difference? Yes.
The future predictions from the preceding chart are:
Homogenising virtually doubles the future warming predicted trend.
The homogenisation values don’t seem to follow any guidelines. They don’t follow the past records. They are not linear. They are not exponential. They appear in ‘blocks’, sequentially reducing by -0.1C per block. This does not seem to be a scientific adjustment. Less scientific is the ‘pattern’ appearing from 1975 onwards … 3 years, 4 years, 4 years, … with each ‘block’ reducing exactly -0.1C. This scientific methodology is not something that would happen in nature.
The following table shows this clearly.
Nuuk Homogenisation Adjustment record
Yellow plot = homogenisation values.
So, if the modern readings are being inflated by urbanisation, or the heat island effect, or whatever, shouldn’t the homogenisation values be added the other way around? That is, force the older records to have the modern record’s stability.
Ooops, I almost forgot the rule.
AGW Rule #1. Must prove warming at an alarming rate.
One last question.
Did politicians teach “spin” to ‘living in AGW land’ scientists, or was it the other way around?

In 2008 we had the forecast from US National Snow and Ice Data Centre's Dr. Mark Serreze of an “ice free north pole” because we're very bad people warming up the planet and this will cause the North Pole to melt, possibly flooding large parts of the inhabited world when the sea level rises.
As we know, that didn’t even come close to being true. Summer 2008 had more arctic ice than summer 2007, and summer 2007 was not “ice free” by any measure.
In spite of the spectacular failure of Dr. Serreze’s widely quoted prediction, there were no retractions, no apologies for misleading the public, no admissions of error and inaccurate stories. So what could possibly be worse news from NSIDC?
The very man who made that ridiculous statement of “an ice free north pole in 2008" is set to become the “incoming director” of NSIDC. Apparently alarmism pays, especially if you get press.
What sort of “heat” is he talking about “cranking up”. And what is this New Science On A Sphere movie "FROZEN" all about. Dr Mark, according to you it should be called UN-FROZEN. But I'm guessing the title has something to do with how it WAS FROZEN, but won't be soon.
We won't show Dr Mark the following US Navy pics, it will throw his "man made warming melting the pole .... we must act now before it's gone for ever and the young generation will never see nature like this" doom & gloom BS out of the window. Really, these clowns should not only be FIRED, they should be made publicly accountable. They're getting paid by public money, whether it be grants, funds or government payroll, and they are obviously either unqualified, inept, stupid or all 3.
These pics, and many more are on public record thanks to the US Navy. Dr Mark should have found these while forming his prediction using his research funds. I found them and it didn't cost me anything and I didn't get paid anything. But then again, I'm not a Dr or a respected Senior Scientist, I'm just Joe nobody so who cares?
USS Skate - North Pole - Open water 17 March 1959
USS Seadragon & USS Skate - North Pole - Lots of water, very little ice
- 1962
3 Subs - North Pole - more ice now - 1987
USS Hawkbill - North Pole - Can't get thru - too much Ice - 1999
Gee Dr Mark, it looks to me like the North Pole is GAINING ice over the years. Maybe you could confer with another of your people, who also does not have a clue what goes on ..... Mr Peter Garrett in Australia. Pete's STILL talking 6 meter sea level rises when the North Pole melts for the FIRST time ... all due to Global Warming. If you do see the above pics Dr Mark, show them to Pete. Maybe he can explain how the Pole is in fact, going to melt for a SECOND Time since the non Global Warming melt of 1959. I can already hear your responses ...... "some un-qualified non-believer ..... a DENIER has made those pictures on Photo Shop."
A picture is worth a thousand climate models. Yet you still keep relying on FUTURE MODEL PREDICTIONS. You lot really are silly, silly people.

Polar Bears - Climate Change - Global Warming - Melting Sea Ice. Really?
Copenhagen was presented with 'facts' about the Polar Bear decline ... due to Global Warming.
One place of great interest was Baffin Bay, Canada.
The PBSG (Polar Bear Specialist Group) promoted the following figures as PROOF Global Warming was causing this catastrophic reduction in the Polar Bear population.
Estimated population in 1997 was 2074.
Estimated population in 2004 was 1546
That's 528 Polar Bears GONE in 8 years, or 66 EVERY year.
The current trend shows they are 'Declining', and an estimated risk of future decline as 'Very High'.
PROOF we must stop Global Warming to save the Polar Bears. More ...
But, that's not the true story, typical of alarmists.
Hunters in Nunavut's Baffin Bay region will be allowed to KILL 105 Polar Bears this season (2008), as per their unchanged quota. More ...
So lets do a bit of Global Warming science here. Then again, let's not. Let's use logic.
The alarmists tell us that there are 66 less Polar Bears every year due to Global Warming (possibly hunting), but the hunters are knocking off 105 every year due to .... hunting.
Simple logic tells us that during the period, 'apparent' Global Warming killed off 528 bears, hunters killed off 840.
The difference is 312.
If the Polar Bear has a very high risk of future decline, how come there were 312 MORE dead Polar Bears NOT killed by Global Warming accounted for during the period? That's a 15% population INCREASE over that time.
Did the alarmists INCLUDED the hunting figures within the decline estimates? That is not made clear, but if they didn't, Polar Bears are REALLY THRIVING.
During the period there were 840 hunted (we know that is correct because it is regulated) PLUS the 528 that suffered 'Death by Global Warming'.
All up that's 1368 dead Polar Bears accounted for during that period.
That's a Polar Bear population INCREASE since 1997 of 65%.
Whichever way you look at it, Polar Bears are NOT becomming extinct due to Global Warming, and in fact, if there IS any warming, the Polar Bears are LOVING it!
Categories: AGW Realists, AGW Whackos
2004 - 4 Polar Bears found dead floating in the sea.
2007 - 2 Polar Bears found dead floating in the sea.
Proof that Global Warming is making the Polar Bear extinct because the sea ice is melting!
Wrong!!
The 2 bears from 2007 drowned when researchers shot them with tranquillizers.
Steve Pinksen, director of policy with Nunavut's Environment Department, told CBC News that researchers have occasionally killed bears in self-defence, but it's very rare for a bear to die after being tranquillized.
"I'd hope that in the long run people see the value, that we really need the information from the research and there will be some cost to that … including the odd dead bear."

The Greens Climate Change and Energy Policies.
No Coal, No Oil, No Hydroelectric, No Coal Fire power, No Methane power, No Expansion of Mines.
No funding to refurbish or develope technologies for coal fired power.
Only Solar panels, Windmills and Electric Cars.
And we all remember the last insane Green policy. 'No More Dams'
Wow, was that a futuristic winner!
Can't wait for one of those big hail storms or global becalming.
Some of the currect policies;
26. create a new ministerial position, Minister for Climate Change and Energy.
Someone has already tried that.![]()
30. ensure that renewable electricity provides 30% of national demand by 2020 by increasing the renewable energy target (RET) and by introducing measures such as feed-in tariffs and regulations to support a range of prospective new renewable energy technologies.
Someone's already tried that.
"This renewable energy plan is important to see greater reliance on solar energy, on wind power, on geothermal, on wave power as well ... across the country. "Very soon, the government will be announcing short-listed projects from the $1.5 billion solar flagships program."
32. reform the National Electricity Market to remove the bias towards centralised coal-fired generation, and encourage demand management and the development of distributed generation and renewable energy.
Someone's already done that.
$32 million for CS Energy to build a 23MW1 solar boost to coal-fired turbines at Kogan Creek, near Chinchilla in western Queensland; and $60 million for N.P. Power Pty Ltd (Whyalla Solar Oasis consortium) to build a 40MW concentrated solar thermal demonstration plant at Whyalla, South Australia, using Australia's own 'Big Dish' technology.
33. review national gas resources and their allocation to ensure that Australia has sufficient gas to produce on-demand electricity in the transition to a fully renewable economy.
There are HEAPS of Natural Gas Power Sations in Australia. 36% of Natural Gas usage in Australia is by Power Sations.Australia has abundant reserves of Natural Gas. Recoverable reserves as at January 2001 were 157 343 petajoules (PJ) — equal to 125 years’ supply at 2002 consumption level. Total Australian Natural Gas production amounted to approximately 1250 PJ in 2002.(Source: Energy Networks Association)
35. transfer subsidies and government support, including funding for research and development, from the fossil fuel sectors to energy efficiency and renewable energy.
Someone's already tried that.![]()
36. provide incentives, including any revenue raised from the above measures, to promote public transport, and to encourage research, development, and commercialisation of energy efficiency and renewable energy.
Someone's already tried that.![]()
38. oppose the establishment of new coal-fired power stations, new coal mines and the expansion of existing mines, as the technology to capture and store greenhouse gas emissions remains unproven.
39. ban public funding to refurbish any existing coal fired power stations.
Australia derives 85 percent of its energy from coal. With increasing limitations being placed on development of new coal power facilities, however, refurbishing existing plants and increasing their output is becoming more and more important.

There are various ways to reduce CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants - for example, by upgrading the coal, by improving the conversion efficiency by modernising and refurbishing existing plants.

40. develop a plan to assist affected communities in the transition from dependence on coal mining and coal-fired power stations, given that global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will inevitably reduce the demand for coal.
47. phase out diesel fuel subsidies by removing energy credits.
48. support research, development and commercialisation of sustainable alternative fuels.
Someone's already tried that.![]()
49. support the development and expansion of robust distribution networks for transitional and sustainable alternative fuels and charging facilities for electric vehicles.
Jörg Kruhl, Head of New Technologies Germany, said:Battery swapping and public charging stations were not seen as having a short term future.
Kruhl also noted that public charging stations could not be expected to offer the same rates as home charging, given the need to recuperate the investment of building them out.
"It's hard to find a business model for public charging," he said.

Where did the leading experts of our time go?
One moment they’re preaching their expertise, and then suddenly, they’re gone.
They must not be allowed to disappear without scrutiny, although I doubt they will appear to defend their claims.
Remember Tuvalu?
Tuvalu was a little known place until Big Al predicted the gloom of this ‘Pacific Nation’.
From then on, bandwagon jump onners came out from everywhere.
There were Social savers, wildlife groups, cat rescuers, misled governments, even a crying man from Canberra who claimed Tuvalu was HIS island nation.
We must not let these Great Big Fairytale farcical claims slip from memory.
Al Gore said;
“That’s why the citizens of these Pacific nations have all had to evacuate to New Zealand.”
Yet a British judge later ruled, there was no evidence of climate refugees from the Pacific having to be evacuated to New Zealand or anywhere else to escape rising seas.
But they kept on going with the Great Big Fairytale.
Oxfam said;
“More than 75 million people living on Pacific islands will have to relocate by 2050 because of the effects of climate change.”
Tuvalu’s Prime Minister said;
“The threat is real and serious, and is of no difference to a slow and insidious form of terrorism against us.”
Rob Gell (ex TV weather man, geologist, environment expert, spokesperson for Greening Australia) and his side-kick, Tuvaluan Tito Tapungao at an exhibition launched at Melbourne’s Immigration Museum said;
“It is virtually a foregone conclusion that Tuvalu will be uninhabitable within the next 50 years”.
Professor Mohammed Dore, who has established himself as an outstanding scholar of international stature in environmental economics for his expertise in the social issues of environmental impacts, particularly in the area of global climate change and its effect on forestry, water supply and water treatment said
"In fact, there is an island called Tuvalu, which was completely evacuated and New Zealand accepted all the residents because of sea level rising. Although, the greatest change in climate is going to be at the poles, so northern Canada and the Antarctic."
"People think that a small society of Inuits will be affected, but it's going to have global consequences because the ice sheets that are melting very fast will end up into the seas and the sea level is going to continue to rise - it has already risen significantly. It's going to affect the entire globe."
Ian Fry, from Canberra, while at Copenhagen talking about Tuvalu sinking said as his eyes welled with tears
"I woke up this morning crying, and that's not easy for a grown man to admit,"
"The fate of my country rests in your hands."
Professor Nick Harvey, from the University of Adelaide and one of five Australian lead authors on the Australian chapter of the IPCC report, while discussing low-lying atolls said;
“a sea level rise of about half a metre by 2100 is no longer in dispute. And with the tipping point now behind us, he is surprised there has been so little interest in the plight of our island neighbours.”
That funny old chap, Professor Tim Flannery said;
"Sometime in the next 30 years, we face significant destabilisation," he says.
"Rapidly rising sea levels, maybe up to six metres. And hundreds of millions of refugees, because there are whole cities going under."
"We've seen what happened after September 11," Flannery continues. "People bunker down and see enemies everywhere.”
What the …. It’s about now we should really stop listening to Tim’s ‘whacky’ predictions.
The Australian Labor government fell for this rubbish, taking the bait hook, line & sinker by setting up the ‘Pacific Climate Change Plan’ to take in these ‘Climate Change Refugees”.
Low-lying Pacific island states such as Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, and Tuvalu - which sit just a few metres above sea level - are at risk of being swamped as global warming forces sea levels to rise.
"We should be part of an international coalition which is prepared to do our fair share," Opposition environment spokesman Anthony Albanese said.
"The alternative to that is to say, and I don't think any Australian would accept this, that we're going to sit by while people literally drown."
But wait!!
A new bunch of ‘Honest Climate Scientists’ have found that many low-lying Pacific Islands are growing, not sinking.
"Eighty per cent of the islands we've looked at have either remained about the same or, in fact, gotten larger."
"Some of those islands have gotten dramatically larger, by 20 or 30 per cent.
"We've now got evidence the physical foundations of these islands will still be there in 100 years."
The ‘Honest Climate Scientist’s” findings are here.
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology can’t find any ‘sinking’ at Tuvolu in their monthly sea levels for Tuvalu.
In fact, according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, the Tuvalu Sea Levels over the past 120 months (10 years) are falling. This decline should have been recognized by anyone promoting the Great Big Fairytale.
The Tuvalu Government’s Tourism Department doesn’t seem concerned, as they describe Tuvalu as ‘this unspoiled corner of the Pacific’ with a population of 9,561 people.
Did any of the ‘Great Big Fairytale’ experts think of picking up a phone and ringing Tuvalu to check on their welfare?
They could have tried;
(688) 20501 – Yaiaku Lagi Hotel (no credit cards – cash only – Australian Dollars)
(688) 20545 – Fale Tolu Motel - (no credit cards – cash only – Australian Dollars)
And what have the ‘previous Great Big Fairytale climate experts’ had to say about these new findings?
SFA
And how many press headlines have announced this wonderful news?
SFA
And how many TV news breaks have led with this honest news?
SFA
Adelaide University climate scientist Professor Barry Brook says he is surprised by the findings.
I’m not, and I’m not even a Professor.
Polar Bears thriving, Himalayas not melting, Great Barrier Reef is pristine, Pacific Islands are afloat.
Do the tellers of the Great Big Fairytale have anything left?
Footnote:
This is just too stupid for words, but only in America.
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) is afraid that the U.S. Territory of Guam is going to "tip over and capsize" due to overpopulation.
Johnson expressed his worries during a House Armed Services Committee hearing on the defense budget Thursday.
Addressing Adm. Robert Willard, who commands the Navy's Pacific Fleet, Johnson made a tippy motion with his hands and said sternly, "My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize."
Willard paused and said: "We don't anticipate that."
Like other islands, Guam is attached to the sea floor, which makes it extremely unlikely that it will tip over, even if there are lots and lots of people on it.

A woman from Los Angeles, who was a tree hugger and an anti-hunter, purchased a piece of timberland, near Grants Pass, Oregon. There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted a good view of the natural splendor of her land so she started to climb the big tree. As she neared the top she encountered a spotted owl that attacked her. In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground and got many splinters in her crotch.
In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest doctor. She told him she was an environmentalist and an anti-hunter and how she came to get all the splinters. The doctor listened to her story with great patience and then told her to go into the examining room and he would see if he could help her. She sat and waited three hours before the doctor reappeared.
The angry woman demanded, "What took you so long?"
He smiled and then told her, "Well, I had to get permits from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area. I'm sorry, but they turned me down."

Green Idealism = Peter Garrett = Wave Generator Project = $5 million Dollars = Disaster. (Green = Peter Garrett = Disaster ... should we be surprised?)
I bet most people don't know that there has been a wasted $5 million spent on the idea of 'producing Green energy from the ocean waves'.
It was called 'The Wave Generator Project', when in fact, it was a wave energy system. Contrary to the project's title, it didn't produce waves, it absorbed them to produce energy.
Anyway, it's now smashed and broken.
Why?
Big waves.
Can someone, anyone, please ask them to stop wasting money on this silly green shit?
Or is this just another example of science attempting to control nature and getting it wrong ... again?
Comments to both links are interesting.

It's not very often I feel sorry for our Indigenous folk. But here's an example of how a weak government and greenies (the wilderness society) can even destroy something good that the Abos have done.
In Queensland there is a campaign called the Queensland Wild Rivers legislation. This is to "protect" wild rivers from being changed from their natural state. And in true GREENIE WACKO hysteria fashion they make comparisons like these rivers remain open to many of the same threats that have torn the heart out of other Australian rivers - such as the Murray. Rubbish, non of these rivers support the population or the farming practises sustained by the Murray and they never will. Nor are they anything like the Murray in structure, terrain or climate. That statement is simply another example of greenie wacko hysteria implanted to falsely educate the ignorant.
Many of the suggested rivers are in no danger of anything apart from GREENIE takeover, and are/were accessed by Indigenous tour guides to show us Non-Indigenous folk how wonderful these areas are. And they (the Abos) won't destroy anything because it is employment for now and the future. These tour operations are very successful by producing employment and education in a self funded way. No one can complain about that.
There were three rivers under consideration; the Stewart, the Archer and the Lockhart. This area also includes the Aurukun wetlands, an area almost 5 times bigger than Kakadu, as well as associated water basins, creeks and feeder streams.
The Indigenous folk don't want this government protection, they say there is no need. Everything is going just fine under the current Cape York global conservation values.
So, now that the state election is out of the way, in comes the government protection that has been "kept quiet" prior to the election. The above mentioned rivers are now "wild" according the Queensland Government and The Wilderness Society.
The legislation mentions with protection will come sustainable livelihoods for Indigenous people - who wish to live and work on their ancestral homelands.
What they don't state in the GREEN publicity is the fine print within the legislation. No business, including mineral, farming and agriculture is to be operated any closer than 1 kilometre from the edge of the protected areas.
This means that all of the Indigenous tour, fishing and hunting operations in these areas must stop. Also, a lot of the big "stations" in this area are now under Indigenous control, so they need to relocate their boundaries back 1 kilometre. Not to mention how do they now water stock.
It's not just the Abos this will effect. There are many successful non-indigenous tour/fishing/hunting operations and stations up in these areas that must now abide by the GREENIE takeover.
And I bet the only GREENIES you'll find in these areas are either hugging a tree, at the dole office or applying for a grant to write a thesis on something GREEN.
For anyone who has ever gone into these areas Barra fishing, pig hunting, looking for crocs or to experience this wilderness simply out of interest, congratulations. For those who haven't, you and other generations have missed out.
The next thing will be a task force set-up to look into the decline in tourism.
Just ridiculous.

Oh, I just couldn't let this one pass by. Talk about laugh ...... if it was funny.
In a letter, an elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Delgadillo explained to Al Gore how much they rely on the government-owned Amtrak trains to visit their children and grandchildren in Chicago and on each coast.
President Clinton relied on train travel to reach the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The train has been our main-stay, yet the administration is killing our Texas Eagle. This makes us sick. The Texas Eagle is the Amtrak train that for years has run between Chicago, St. Louis, Little Rock, Dallas, Fort Worth and San Antonio. But facing a $243 million loss, Amtrak President Thomas Downs has recently named four Amtrak routes to be removed, including the Texas Eagle service between St. Louis and San Antonio. What can you do to save our Eagle?
Gore responded with: "Dear Mr. and Mrs. Delgadillo, Thank you for your letter regarding the protection of the Texas eagle. I appreciate hearing from you. "I share your view that the urgent problem of species extinction and the conservation of biological diversity should be addressed. The first step in saving any plant or animal from extinction is to become aware of and respect the fragile ecosystems that make up our environment ... "Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I look forward to working with you for the future of our planet."
It's strange he should talk about the ecosystem and extinction since the Texas Eagle is a TRAIN! There is not a bird called the Texas Eagle.

A 'bleeding hearts club' of AGW Scientists have written to Science Magazine, bleating out a petition about how we must take action to save ourselves from the forthcoming Global Warming catastrophe.
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/328/5979/689
The 'warning' is lead by Peter Glieck (a renowned 'political climate' scientist), asking that we all immediately stop the McCarthy style threats and harassment of his colleagues and immediately cease the false accusations of 'credibility' about Climate Scientists, and the science itself.
And to make his point valid, the following picture is included.
THIS IS A PHOTOSHOP FAKE!!!!
Just like the cover of Al Gore's new book ... Our Choice, A Plan To Solve The Climate Crisis
IT'S A PHOTOSHOP FAKE.
THAT IS A
CYCLONE OFF THE COAST OF FLORIDA, NOT A HURRICANE. IT'S SPINNING THE
WRONG WAY.
"Hurricanes at a 30 year low ... photoshop in a Cyclone."
Cyclones = southern hemisphere = clockwise
Hurricanes = northern hemisphere = anti-clockwise
Everybody knows that.
Just about says it all really.

The 24th October, 20009, was 350 Day. For those who missed it, 350 Day was celebrated by 'thousands' of activist in 181 countries around the world in an effort to make others aware that 350ppm CO2 is what MUST be achieved or we are all doomed due to the effect of the 'man-made' CO2 increase and Climate Change.
On that day fact: More people watched Not Evil Just Wrong ( http://www.noteviljustwrong.com/ ) than ALL of the 350 events put together ..... however the media ignored that fact.
So, for the record, lets put pictures to the headlines.
Sydney - Thousands attend 350 Day protest.
Kiev - Hundreds attend 350 Day protest
Rome - Huge turnout for 350 Day protest
Shanghai - People of China attend 350 Day protest.
Russia - the Komi population got their important message to the world.
Copenhagen - Thousands attended the 350 day protest in support of the
impending Copenhagen Climate Summit.
Valencia - The Crowd ....... The sincereness.
And what were the headlines for 24th Oct, 2009 ...... WORLD 350 DAY.
#1 BALLOON BOY
#2 BALLOON BOY'S MUM
#3 SOUPY SALES DIES.
#4 CHURCH JANITOR ARRESTED IN KILLING OF PRIEST IN NEW JERSEY
#5 OBAMA RALLIES SUPPORT OVER IRAN
According to 350.org and Greenpeace, the Science is in ..... the crowds were strong ..... the pictures show a much greater turnout than expected.
Maybe 350 was the total of the protestors worldwide who showed up.

I just got a big juicy contract to supply flexible electrical contacts for windmills!
These are the same I invented and patented for bumper cars in amusement parks and the margin is outrageous.
So, we must all do our part to promote wind power and abolish all others.
So, now that I'm a convert to the cause I see the attraction...MONEY!!!!

From BBC News: "Climate change will trigger a dramatic and sudden decline in the number of polar bears, a new study has concluded."
Oh good Lord do these mopes never quit?
We had 5,000 polar bears in the 1960s. Today we have 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears. Only 8 of the 19 polar bear populations are in decline - 11 are rising in number. This is from the liberal Wikipedia.
The last time I checked, 11 was greater than 8.
So how do pseudo-scientists get around this glaring hole in their narrative?
Simple. Ignore the numbers.
From BBC News: "Until now, most studies measuring polar bear survival have relied on a method called mark and recapture. This involves repeatedly catching polar bears in a population over several years, which is cost and time-intensive."
Wait, we are going to force the world to spend trillions in taxes and changes in the economy based on shoddy evidence because actually counting bears is too expensive?
And of course, we get the high-pressure sales pitch from Peter Molnar of the University of Alberta in Canada: "We may not see any substantial effect on polar bear reproduction and survival until some threshold is passed."
Yes if we act on facts instead of emotion why it will be too late.
That's what they said at Kyoto 15 years ago.
We did nothing.
Global temperatures fell.
It is a charade.

For all of you out there across the globe who have fought so hard to tackle the hideous enemy of our planet, namely carbon emissions, that bogus god you worship named "Climate Change" or "Global Warming", there is some really bad news that will be very painful for you to process.
But it is my duty to pass it on to you anyway.

IT is well known that many university staff list to port and try to engineer a brave new world. The cash cow climate institutes now seem to be drowning in their own self-importance.
In a wonderful gesture of public spiritedness, seven academics who include three lead authors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and a former director of the World Climate Research Program wrote to Australian power generating companies on April 29 instructing them to cease and desist creating electricity from coal.

FEDERAL Treasury and the CSIRO are supposed to be among the most trusted institutions in Australia. They are both supposed to be founded in objective rationalism.
The Treasury building in Canberra houses the greatest collection of economic analytical and policymaking brainpower in Australia. The same, in the fields of science, goes for the CSIRO in Melbourne. Together they should form the rock-solid foundation of policymaking in Australia.
We need to be able to trust Treasury to advise the government based on the best possible economic analysis. Arguably its most important task is to deploy its economic heft against usually well-intentioned "good ideas at the time", or failing that to at least limit their damage.
From the CSIRO we need, very simply, good science. As its own strategic plan puts it: "We are committed to scientific excellence and working ethically and with integrity in everything we do."
Both have, in their separate ways, breached that trust.
