Bicycle Riders in Washington State to Be Taxed in Effort to Stop Global Warming

In spite of all the evidence that has come out proving Global Warming and Global Climate Change are not problems and that the entire scare is a scam to grab more tax money from the peasantry (IPCC admits the sun cause Global Warming see: Leaked Report Shows UN Admitting Solar Activity Plays Significant Role in Global Warming - Complete Leaked Report Here and Nasa Admitting "No Global Warming" (See: NASA’s Global Warming Fanatic James Hansen Admits There Has Been No Increase In Global Temperatures Over Last Decade…) There are still some people who think (they certainly don't read!) that Global Warming or Climate Change is a problem and that the government has to do something about it.

When will these people ever wake up from their slumber? The government can't even balance their budget or fix a pothole in the road on time and under budget, who-in-the-hell thinks they could fix the weather? 

Anyway, Ahem.... in response to a post I saw by Aaron Egon Moser, I wrote, "The science is settled and the government must Do something to stop Global Warming! I'm all for a massive tax on higher heart rates and a VAT tax increase on heavy breathing!"

This, below, is for real... 

...On one hand people who actually believe what they've been told on TV insist that the government is corrupt and in bed with big business and companies like Big Oil and Monsanto, then, a second later, they turn around and declare that we have to protect the environment and the best way to do that is to allow the government to have more control and tax us more! 

As Homer Simpson would say, "Doh!"

Global Warming Scientists Abandoning Ship in Droves

Forbes magazine has a quite interesting story about how many of the world's formerly ardent supporters of Man-made Global Warming Theory have abandoned ship.

One is James Lovelock the father of the "Gaia Theory."


Forbes reports in Global Warming Chorus Discord Rising To Feverish Pitch: 

Some leading voices in the Global Warming Gospel Choir are now abandoning the old climate crisis hymnal. One is James Lovelock, the father of the “Gaia” theory that the entire Earth is a single living system who predicted that continued human CO2 emissions will bring about climate calamity. In 2006 he claimed: “Before this century is over billions of us will die and the few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in the Arctic where climate remains tolerable.” Time magazine featured Lovelock as one of 13 “Heroes of the Environment” in a 2007 article (along with Al Gore, Mikhail Gorbachev and Robert Redford).

Recently, however, he has obviously cooled on global warming as a crisis, admitting to MSNBC that he overstated the case and now acknowledges that: “…we don’t know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago.  That led to some alarmist books…mine included…because it looked clear cut…but it hasn’t happened.” Lovelock pointed to Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” and Tim Flannery’s “The Weather Makers” as other alarmist publications.

The 92-year-old Lovelock went on to note, “…the climate is doing its usual tricks…there’s nothing much happening yet even though we were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world now.”  He added, “The world has not warmed up very much since the millennium. Twelve years is a reasonable time.” Yet the temperature “has stayed almost constant, whereas it should have been rising…carbon dioxide has been rising, no question about that.”

The Forbes magazine article goes on to list other scientists - once former devout believers in AGW - who have recently quit the global warming polemic.


To name a few: Fritz Vaherenholt, the socialist founder of Germany’s environmental movement. Another is Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, the director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. Also Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore agreed that, “We do not have any scientific proof that we are the cause of the global warming that has occurred in the last 200 years.
