It’s a man-made global hoax

California AB 32, S375, Agenda 21 and the insane anti-fossil Obama energy schemes are liberty-smashing and economy-smashing ideas from the liberal-socialist inferno, all founded on the computer propagated notion that man-made carbon dioxide will cause global warming. This idea however is unsupported by data and is in reality a man-made global hoax.
This GIGO computer hoax (garbage in, garbage out) was initially generated at university centers for political climatology (such as Stanford, Cal Berkeley, Cal San Diego, Massachusetts, East Anglia G.B., etc.), and after 3 decades the hoax has propagated throughout the academic and political worlds. Special thanks go to academia, the media, the enviro-NGOs (e.g., Sierra Club, World Wildlife Fund, Greenpeace, etc.), and bureaucratic and political cohorts of every stripe for poisoning the public mind with the CO2 lie at every level, from kindergarten up to and including all the Washington bureaucracies and the U.N.

In Islam, lying is OK if the lie will advance the cause of Islam. In academe, lying seems OK if it will help your university get a fat federal grant. The faux appeal to ethics of some of the lying academics is laughable. And as we have seen with the Department of Energy and Solandra, among others, the bigger the lie the fatter the federal grant. And let’s not leave the bureaucrats out from EPA, NOAA, NASA/GISS, National Academy of Science, Interior, Energy, Agriculture, etc. They have to feather their own nests, like all good bureaucrats – can’t leave any funds unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, can’t say anything about the false basis of the carbon dioxide hoax- can’t upset the applecart. Can’t risk my own job!

How long can a society last that allows itself to go prostrate before this global warming devil-god? Here is an answer: it cannot last. Dr Steven F. Howard, noted economist, predicted that the “80 by 50 rule” (80 percent reduction in CO2 by 2050) to which AB32, Agenda 21, sustainable development, etc., are all pointed, will put the US economy back to the days of the cotton gin. That is pre-indoor toilets for the history-challenged, let alone pre-TV, etc.
The CO2 hoax is turning life into springtime for the lying ruling classes and into winter for the hddled masses. This lie will bring us third-world levels of unemployment far greater than now and unending misery for the next several generations (if you are between 1 and 18, welcome to your lifetime Obama-tax burden especially for you, your children, and your grandchildren).

Its Getting CLOUDY for AB32

Its Getting CLOUDy for AB32

By Ron Kilmartin

A chorus of dissenters to my letter to the editor (CC Times 9/20/11) seemed to have missed the message while attacking the messengers, myself and Chriss Street, author of “Study Discredits Global Warming, AB32”, which I cited: http://www.calwatchdog.com/2011/09/07/22086/

The message bears repeating. Nature Magazine, the premier British science magazine, has for over 2 decades been a citadel against publication of any articles ascribing global temperature variation to the sun. In their world, warming had to be due to anthropogenic carbon dioxide. With Nature’s publication of the article on the CLOUD experiment, the walls of this citadel cracked a bit and let some sunlight in (and some cosmic rays).

The CLOUD experiment verified that cosmic rays can create aerosols. The aerosols in turn create clouds, which in turn cool the climate, and conversely cause warming when cloud cover is low. The variation in cosmic ray bombardment of the earth is due to solar wind. When the solar wind is strong, it pushes away cosmic rays. When the solar wind is weak, cosmic rays bombard the atmosphere. The much-hyped climate models do not consider this fundamental climate molder.

By this indirect process solar activity (sunspots) regulates climate. This process was first proposed by Danish researcher Henrik Svensmark in the late 1990s.

The cosmic ray results from CLOUD were similar to results of Aarhus University, Denmark, and the Danish National Space Institute with the ASTRID particle accelerator, reported in May 2011.

The variation in earth temperature with sunspots has long been known but the mechanism eluded discovery until Svensmark came along, and verified after these research efforts were performed. The climate models which have heretofore ignored solar activity now need to be updated to included this process and cloud formation. I anticipate that this will result in nearly all warming/cooling being ascribed to solar activity and little or none being assigned to anthropogenic carbon dioxide. Since AB32 is based on the climate model results, and the updated and corrected models will necessarily downplay the role of CO2 (assuming no modeler meddling with the data). So if AB32 is based on a hoax, which I have long believed, it is time to real this legislation in and stop its funding.

One of the critics to my letter objected to use of the word gorefraud (un-capitalized). A swindle of such incredible magnitude as the climate hoax deserves a special word – I believe gorefraud is an appropriate adjective as it links this well-known liar’s name to a description of the evil crime he, along with thousands of others, have perpetrated.

This crime is already costing the world tens perhaps hundreds of billions of dollars a year which will continue to increase until the people demand that governments quit throwing the sweat of their backs into this black hole, In California AB 32, S375, and the new S23 requiring voodoo green power are environmental straight-jackets on the California economy and major job-killers, as real businesses around the state pack up and leave. At the federal level the EPA has its head as deep in the sand as CARB, with the explicit direction of the President to overrule the people’s Congress.

Global warming? The world has been on a temperature downtrend for over a decade, and today temperatures are at their 1980 levels, and predicted to get much cooler. AB 32’s objective is to bring CO2 emissions down to 1990 levels. Why? It does not even compute, except in the mental gymnastics of some enviro-nazis and their political and bureaucratic cronies.

Angelo M. Codevilla (2010) wrote an excellent book on the American scene “The Ruling Class, how they corrupted America and what we can do about it”. The Ruling Class has by and large bought into the CO2 hoax, and has created corrupt crony networks linking venture-capitalists, the media, academe, unions, politicians and bureaucrats to rip off subsidies from the backs of taxpayers, and with more to come in the form of cap and trade costs, which will be passed directly through to the taxpayer working class. Occupy Wall Street? How about Washington DC and Sacramento, where the ruling class continuously attacks our economic system?

Send it to the Morgue!

Dear Senator McConnell and Speaker Boehner:

The President’s tax (a.k.a. “jobs jobs jobs”) bill should go straight to the morgue.

Here is a real plan that will put the country back to work and get the economy humming:

No tax increases, cut capital gains to 15%, defund Obama care, defund the anti-CO2 hoax at EPA and Energy, defund Agenda 21 at Transportation, EPA, Ag and Interior, cut anti-business regs with a machete, open up energy development from Alaska to the Gulf and from California to New York, can the green job mantra and subsidies and make room for real jobs, the ones colored brown!

Then this country will go back to work led by the vital energy sector which is the economic backbone, the national economic engine of this great country. The economy will boom as the people regain confidence in the future, which has been all but lost under Obama.

The flow of oil money to the Middle East will stop. And if the sheiks and the OIC don’t have any money they will cease being a problem for us and Israel both here and abroad.

Islamic Problem solved, no more shots fired.

Balance of Payments problem solved – positive not negative.

Jobs Problem Solved – brown, not green.

Confidence Problem Solved – future looks good, not bleak.

Investment Problem Solved – private not government.

That is a jobs win, an economy win, a tax revenue win, and a foreign policy win all wrapped into one, but most of all it is a win for liberty and freedom and hard-working Americans and their children ad grandchildren.

Obama’s tax (a.k.a.“jobs jobs jobs”) bill is a permanent increase in taxes for another wasteful temporary stimulus. No permanent solutions, just more permanent dependents added to the government dole and more government employees to be paid by an oppressive tax burden on our children and grandchildren out to 3 or 4 generations. The cost of government employees we have now is unsustainable. There must be large scale cuts in numbers, salaries and pensions, starting in Washington D.C. and proceeding to every state, county and city in the land.

The president keeps promulgating European solutions in spite of the fact that the entire European continent is a socialist failure and is teetering on collapse. Are he and his czars and his secretaries totally blind to this reality or simply so steeped in Marxism it is hopeless that they will ever figure out how America works?

Ron Kilmartin

Planning to Disaster: San Diego and California’s Sustainability Strategies

By Marc Scribner

See original article here:

My comment :

The SCS is a child of California legislation AB 32 and S375. These in turn are  children of UN Agenda 21, adopted without Congressional approval by the Beltway agencies. They all derive their raison d’etre from the false theory of man-made CO2-caused global warming. The records show that warming and cooling are cyclic phenomena, and California temperature is predominantly influenced by the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, which has entered a cooling phase that may last another 20 or 30 years. Not only is CO2 not guilty of causing significant warming, it is in fact the other products of combustion – water vapor and steam, that are the warming culprits in this equation. See the paper Econometrics and the Science of Climate Change 15 May 2011, by Timothy Curtin (on Google). The SCS, AB 32, S 375, and Agenda 21 will have no effect on global temperature. What they will do is empty your retirement accounts and spread the wealth around to the green fleecers and 3rd world nations. The full impact of this mass of regulations will be further economic collapse on top of the present malaise.

Sustainability = UN Agenda 21 World Governance

Contra Costa Times editorial: Establishing sensible and sustainable growth
MediaNews editorial
Posted: 02/18/2011 12:01:00 AM PST

http://www.contracostatimes.com/opinion/ci_17414712?nclick_check=1

BACK IN 2003, Contra Costa County leaders pieced together a long-range plan that was designed to promote infill housing development near transportation centers. The purpose of the Shaping Our Future plan was to reduce the need to drive, make jobs and shopping more accessible, provide adequate low-income housing and protect open space.

However, much of the plan has been shelved because there was insufficient incentive for cities to follow it. With the passage of Assembly Bill 32 and Senate Bill 375, the strategies outlined in Shaping Our Future have been given new life.

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Association of Bay Area Governments will give final approval to a Sustainable Community Strategy in 2013, with a first draft to be released next month.

If cites do not adhere to it, they will risk losing funds for transportation projects.

The idea behind the plan is the same as it was under Shaping Our Future. Cities will be urged to plan housing, job centers and transportation infrastructure in a coordinated manner that reduces driving.

For many years, urban planners have been calling for a much closer link between transportation projects and land-use policies.

For the sake of efficiency as well as reduced air pollution and traffic, the Sustainable Community Strategy makes sense.

There already are some good examples of this so-called smart growth that are

compatible with the new planing goals.

For the past few years, Pittsburg has spent considerable effort in renovating its old downtown with new affordable housing projects, and is working on development of government offices and housing adjacent to the planned eBART station near Highway 4.

Other areas that have similar plans include the Concord Naval Weapons Station land, the areas around Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill BART stations and downtown Lafayette and Martinez.

Sustainable Communities Strategies will have to account for a projected 900,000 new housing units in the nine-county Bay Area before 2035, many of which will have to be built near job centers.

Regardless of one’s views on the dangers of greenhouse gases, much of which are produced by motor vehicles, the Sustainable Community Strategy deserves support.

If we are to preserve open space in the region and build affordable housing that is conveniently close to jobs and shopping, better land-use policies are needed.

Suburban sprawl is expensive, promotes excessive dependence on driving, endangers the environment and reduces open space.

Replacing sprawl with intelligent growth choices should be the norm without the threat of financial penalties. But if that is what it takes to motivate city planners and developers — and, especially, city politicians — to build more intelligently, then so be it.

Ron Kilmartin

Re the CC Times editorial “Sustainable Growth”, 2/18/2011. Sustainability and Smart Growth are at their base, euphemisms for a major eco-socialist assault on our republican form of constitutional government. They are products of Agenda 21 which calls for total undermining of the U.S. Constitution. In the Agenda 21 utopia, there are no property rights, freedom, or liberty. People – the workers – live in urban centers, and the area outside these centers are wildlands, with no human activity allowed, except for the elites, who will have their country dachas. See the appalling utopia maps of America at http://www.takingliberty.us/TLHome.html.

Agenda 21 is a plan for an overarching global governance under the U.N. Americans are particularly targeted to loose much of their wealth, which is to be transferred to the Third World.

The purported need for “sustainability” and Agenda 21 is based solely on the fraudulent theory that carbon dioxide has or will cause global warming. The facts are that there has never been any historic evidence of CO2 causing global warming. To the contrary, evidence against the CO2 fraud is overwhelming,

The hucksters of Agenda 21 have been extremely clever in setting up the entire world for the sustainability deception by focusing mainly on the world’s cities and mayors, for sedgewaying into local politics and setting up of dictatorial local councils of “stakeholders” – councils of mostly enviro-nuts with an agenda of population control.

Contra Costa County, Alameda County, and most of their cities are already members of the Agenda 21-sponsored International Council of Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI).

ICLEI operates surreptitiously out of the public eye, provides organizational and planning assistance to local governments, such as draft regulations that will channel the rulings of the local councils. Governments that sign the ICLEI charter surrender their sovereignty, a violation of the Constitution.

Readers are urged to contact elected member of their city council or county board of supervisors and demand that they tear up any agreements they have made with ICLEI. We should make our counties and cities follow the examples of Spokane, WA; Carroll County, MD; Broomfield County, CO; Edmund, OK; Arvada, CO; Amador County, CA; Monterey County, CA; North Little Rock, AR; and Austin, TX, all locations where people have risen up and demanded their politicians destroy ICLEI agreements and sustainability agendas.

Readers are further urged to go see the Freedom Advocates website for more details: http://www.freedomadvocates.org/. You will be shocked.

What we are finding is “sustainable” are those ordinarily private economic activities that can persist on their own without government subsidy. By that measure, if it made sustainable economic sense to develop infill housing and businesses near public transportation centers … then they will develop, and thrive on their own. Otherwise, these are ideas which may have some merit from a narrow, though perhaps laudable perspective, but which simply don’t stand the systematic test that is the only one that matters — what does the consumer want, and can afford, with money of their own that they are willing to spend.

All other subsidized activities are simply wealth redistribution strategies, either to the poor, or most importantly, to developers and other businesses that have something to gain from “the program.”

Consider something like high speed rail in CA? Why would one need it when one has, much more economically, access to auto and air transportation to anywhere a train could possibly go?

Given our current state and municipal budget situation, we should hold off on Sustainable Development initiatives until we have enough in the bank to sustain the endless subsidy they entail.

A failed appeal to Governor Brown – no reply

Governor Jerry Brown
Capitol Building
Sacramento, CA

Dear Governor Brown:

Before you sign SB X1 2 (Simitian), I would like to be sure that you are aware of the current science regarding CO2 and global warming theory.

It has been found that this theory is not supported by historical data. It is a false hypothesis.

This is shown by the attached graph of annual mean global temperature and mean CO2 concentration for the period February 1996 through February 2011. It can be readily appreciated that there is no relation, since temperature is topping and trending downward over this period, while CO2 concentration is trending upward for the entire period. An even more sharp divergence occurred from 1940 to 1980 when temperature was trending down while CO2 was trending up (when some sources were indeed predicting an ice age). Global mean temperature moves slowly up and down with a major influence from aperiodic solar activity, indirectly conveyed through diversion of galactic cosmic rays by solar winds.

Thus the attempt to control global warming through crunching down on CO2 production is doomed to fail. Global warming, and cooling, is a natural aperiodic phenomena which has been documented for paleo times with geologic records over millions of years and human records based on proxy data over the past 2000 years. The Medieval Warming was greater than the XX Century warmng, yet there was no Anthropogenic CO2.

The fundamental solar source of global temperature change is reflected in the movement of major oceanic currents, particularly the Pacific-Indian-Antarctic Oceanic masses, which have a combined area of about 2/3s of the planet.

A second graph attached is a time-series plot over the same period as the first chart, repeating the global temperature data (HadCRUT = Hadley Climate Research Unit Temperature data, Univ. of East Anglia), together with the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI). The SOI index is related to Pacific Ocean temperatures and the El Nino and La Nina phenomena, movement of giant streams of ocean currents along the equator and in the Northwest and Southeast Pacific. The fundamental driver influencing these indexes is again solar. The concentric parallel tendency of these trends is obvious from the plots, confirming that the source of warming and cooling is natural.

There are similar results available linking periodic trends in various oceanic currents and indexes to aperiodic temperature and precipitation trends in nearby land masses.

Frankly, the various anti-CO2 laws are founded on sand that will blow away, and the whole anti-CO2 structure will eventually fall down – it is only a matter of time. It has been said that after political laws are created, the laws of economics take over. This happened the last time the legislature messed with energy economics. AB 32, S 375, and now SB X 1 2 promise havoc in the market place an order of magnitude greater than the previous debacle.

The real problem for California is that the threat of regulation under these bills is enough to make many businesses close their doors and move out, with the jobs, and with the tax revenue that the state needs to balance its budget. The SB X 1 2 bill will blow power costs through the roof. I can assure you that the green jobs expectation will come to nil. The gadgetry (wind mills and panels) have zero system reliability and a capital cost 10x or more conventional fossil power. They have a negative value in any electric power system. And the people will be required to pay for this boondoggle, the utilities will just pass it through.

We are short $26 billion in the 2011 state budget. What will the state be short when the impact of these bills is felt? Risk aversion will cause businesses to pack up and leave well in advance of CARB’s implementation plan. By the way, CARB’s director Mary Nichols has publicly stated that AB 32 will not affect global CO2 concentrations. How obvious can be the question then, why are we doing this?
.
Well you have my professional opinion. I have been engaged in large-scale water and power resources planning and hydrology for over 50 years. I have a keen sense of the operation, planning, and economics of hydro-thermal power systems, having participated and managed such investigations for long-term planning in Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Nicaragua and Luzon. As for climatic trends, I authored the first paper in English dealing with hydroclimatology as a needed cross discipline, a paper motivated by the recognition that climate has a major influence on water resources and needed to be inducted into the engineering planning process, which was not being done at the time (1960-70s).

I have no financial oar in this matter, other than hoping that I do not live to see California become a failed state, with all the adverse consequences to the people including my kids and grandkids. It would be a failure in my ethical professional duty, and my duty as a citizen, to sit silent in the face of the oncoming economic tsunami of these three pieces of legislation (including others which chase the carbon bogey man).

Please consider this plea to hold up on SB X 1 2 and AB 32 / S 375.

Sincerely,

By the way, here is an interesting quote:

“ Some of the hysteric and extreme claims about global warming are [snip] a symptom of pagan emptiness, of Western fear when confronted by the immense and basically uncontrollable forces of nature. Belief in a benign God who is master of the universe has a steadying psychological effect, although it is no guarantee of Utopia, no guarantee that the continuing climate and geographic changes will be benign. In the past pagans sacrificed animals and even humans in vain attempts to placate capricious and cruel gods. Today they demand a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions…” Cardinal George Pell, Archbishop of Sydney, Islam and Western Democracies, February, 2006.

Arnold Schwarzenegger on Climate Control

Arnold Schwarzenegger on Climate Control
Bloomberg Business Week by Eric Pooley, 11/24/2010

http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/nov2010/tc20101123_080958.htm

Extended Comments by Ron Kilmartin

Arnold spins the out-of-state oil companies as big bad villains, but they were outspent over 3 to 1 by in- and out-of-state investors who will harvest huge subsidies and revenues from the people’s pockets. He also never mentions that the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association with millions of members supported Proposition 23 and opposes AB 32.

It is surprising that he thinks Cap and Trade is successful in Europe. In fact it is a disaster in Europe, He is oddly misinformed on that issue.
.
Arnold spinned California on AB 32 just like he spinned Maria on the schnitzel. The fact is that most of the rest of the world has already or is now jettisoning the global warming hoax, as the climategate debacle of 2009 becomes subject to more and more intense global scrutiny debunking the theory on a daily basis.

Arnold and Jerry Brown both need to listen to what the “skeptics” are saying and writing in peer-reviewed technical papers, and check on what the rest of the world is doing re the carbon hoax. It makes no sense for California to be pursuing the Kyoto Treaty mandates when the rest of the world is rejecting them as being baseless. The lifeblood support for AB 32 is from people who will make money from it. It will have absolutely no effect of global climate.

AB 32 contains a provision whereby the governor can set it aside for a year for whatever reason. This option should be exercised by Arnold before he leaves, or if he doesn’t do it, by Jerry Brown when he assumes the office. In my opinion it borders on criminal to allow AB 32 to go into effect when it will choke the state economy even further. It is pure folly to wreck our energy systems in the face of such a weak economy. Soup lines? There may not be even any soup.

The Obama Administration is suspected by many of being a fan of the Cloward-Piven strategy to bring down our capitalistic system and substitute socialism. I do not believe that is Arnold’s intent for California, since I do not believe he is evil. Nor do I believe that of Jerry Brown. But Cloward and Piven, if they were still alive, could not find a better mechanism for California to self-destruct than AB 32

The Elites’ plan to put the USA on the chopping block

The media will likely not cover any attacks on America unless the editors see blood all over their offices. There are major stealth attacks in progress not only from Islam, but from US progressives cum socialists and the international elites. They are inducting the climate change ideology into their stealth bag of tricks and see it as an ideal stealth vehicle to achieve their Utopian vision.

AB 32 is California’s local global warming boondoggle that will cost Californians dearly. But there are others who are busy stirring up this same cauldron at the national and international level, and in our K-12 schools.

Washington is on hold on national cap and trade and climate meddling, thanks to a breeze of common sense that has permeated through congress, at least for the moment. But there are enviro standard-bearers still looking for an opportunity to vote them in during he lame duck session. Meanwhile the EPA is currently running amuck on carbon control and is about to clamp down hard on harmless CO2 emissions throughout the country, at the cost of millions of jobs.

Obama, Hillary and the State Department are meanwhile trying to enmesh the USA in another UN Climate Treaty at the upcoming Cancun Climate Conference (Nov. 18 – Dec. 20). To get an idea of what the UN bunch wants to do to the United States, see this:

http://www.c3headlines.com/2010/11/unhinged-by-co2-europe-caused-two-world-wars-and-its-elites-are-now-setting-the-scene-for-a-third.html

This essay pretty clearly shows that control of carbon dioxide at the global level is not about global warming, it is all about bring the USA to its knees and instituting world socialist government on the style of the EU – unelected elites in control, national governments castrated of their autority, and the peasants have no say. Back to the days of Lords and Vassals!

Americans need to understand that the climate control agenda is Newspeak for Global Socialism cum Communism. The tyranny advocated by some of the people quoted in this article is mind-boggling, far outstripping Stalin’s Great Terror or Mao’s Long March in pure anti-human evil.

If you have kids in K-12, you need to know about the Alliance for Climate Education http://www.acespace.org/. They are brainwashing our kids with hiphop background and the submimal big-goverment message that the big corporations are bad and “we” must take charge – I am paraphrasing, but that is pretty much it. You can expect pressure at home to get on the anti-carbon bandwagon; and they are taking email and twitter addresses of your kids. Lenin wrote that if he could have the children for 4 years, he would make them into good little communist robots. This is what is going on in some of school districts already, making kids into climate bots.

The parallel between the Islamic stealth attack on the USA and the left’s stealth attack on the USA via the carbon control myth is breathtaking. The main difference between these enemies is that one seeks Utopia – the world controlled by communism,. and the other seeks Dar-al-Islam – the world controlled by Islam. In the first case the people would end up as peasants. In the second case as dhimmis.

I hope all addressees will consider these matters, and at Thanksgiving include thanks that today we are still relatively free in this country, and we must be watchful and involved to assure that it stays that way.

The zero impact of Climategate and Copenhagen on the Zealots in Sacramento

California is marching into the global warming regulatory morass ( AB 32, AB 1493 – the Pavley bills, and probably others) with ever-increasing deliberation. While the full hammer of these bills has not yet fallen, by the time our grade-schoolers are ready to go to work, these bills will have turned California into an “green” economic wasteland. The Pavley bills will trip the bankruptcy cord not only for the state, but for thousands of business and for millions of individuals.

While California with its governor, its legislature and its state bureaucrats (CARB, Energy Commission, Natural Resources, Utility Commission and who knows what else), all sleepwalking in a trance as if Climategate did not happen, all stupefied by the global warming hoax of Al Gore and a handful of scoundrel scientists, it is interesting to look at how the rest of the world views the CO2 hoax today, because it is getting almost zero coverage in the US liberal media and zero attention by the Zealots of Sacramento..

Below are some extracts the writer culled from recent articles from outside the state and outside the country which show a far more jaundiced view of the CO2 hoax than held by the American media or the Zealots of Sacramento.

Californians should ask why is California government (or the United States, for that matter) so out of step with the rest of the world’s evaluation of the twin spectacles of Copenhagen and Climategate, which displayed for all to see the specious nature of the CO2 global warming hoax? The fallacy and fraud is openly discussed elsewhere but not in America. The American liberal media is still circling the wagons on the anthropogenic global warming hoax, as is our state government which refuses to recognize the economic catastrophe it is brewing for the state with AB32 and similar carbon control bills.

All these carbon control measures now rest on a mid-air foundation. Objects, businesses, governments and agencies with no foundation will fall – the economic system has a “gravity” that pulls down anything that is not well founded (great example: the State of California, on its way to bankruptcy).

The whole purpose of AB32 and like bills just came crashing down; their foundation – the CO2 hoax, no longer has any credence. Unfortunately a good deal of taxpayer money has already gone into subsidizing green industries and they are rapidly becoming an albatross around the taxpayers neck, as well as the huge state bureaucracies dependent on permanent jobs regulating fellow citizens.

After each of the following extracts there is a URL where the reader can read the complete article – which is highly recommended. The overriding theme is that the CO2 scam is finished. It should be finished here too.

1. From The Australian – 2/14/10 – It’s time for some time out – anon.

Six weeks after Copenhagen, the IPCC report has been devalued by revelations of flimsy evidence and shoddy reporting. Many parts of the report contain solid science but that is not the point. It is increasingly impossible for governments to unquestioningly construct policy based on a report now so compromised. A fresh look at scientific data on climate change is needed before politicians can ask taxpayers to embark on schemes that could lead to trillions of dollars of lost wealth around the globe in coming decades. …”

2. From Open Magazine (India) 1/30/10 -The Hottest Hoax in the World by Ninad D. Sheth

The climate change fraud that is now unraveling is unprecedented in its deceit, unmatched in scope—and for the liberal elite, akin to 9 on the Richter scale. Never have so few fooled so many for so long, ever.

The entire world was being asked to change the way it lives on the basis of pure hyperbole. Propriety, probity and transparency were routinely sacrificed.

The truth is: the world is not heating up in any significant way. Neither are the Himalayan glaciers going to melt as claimed by 2035. Nor is there any link at all between natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and global warming. All that was pure nonsense, or if you like, ‘no-science’,

3. From The Arizona Republic – 2/13/10 – Arizona quits Western Climate Endeavor by Shaun McKinnon

“… (Governor) Brewer stopped short of pulling Arizona out of the multistate coalition that plans to regulate greenhouse gases starting in 2012. But she made it clear in an executive order that Arizona will not endorse the emission-control plan or any program that could raise costs for consumers and businesses.

State officials said the policy shift was rooted in concerns that the controversial emissions plan would slow the state’s economic recovery. Brewer says the state should focus less on regulations and more on renewable energy and investments by businesses that can create green jobs.

The governor also ordered the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality to take another look at stricter vehicle-emissions rules set to take effect in 2012. Automakers said the rules, based on those adopted by California, would raise the cost of a new car significantly.

The governor’s order is another blow to the Western Climate Initiative, a group of seven states and four Canadian provinces that joined forces in 2007 after growing impatient with the federal government to address climate change. …”

4. From TheSpectator(uk) – 2/3/20 – By the waters of denial they sit and weep… by Melanie Phillips:

Nevertheless when the BBC, no less, starts to allow an interviewee to start telling the truth like this:

I hate to say this – but there is a very strong –it’s very small – but there is a very strong green fascism in much of the environmental world. I’ve heard it said at meetings I’ve been at – that climate change is so important – democracy has to be sacrificed something big is definitely happening. And that something is the disintegration of anthropogenic global warming theory. The ‘scientific’ basis for it is de-materialising day by day, leaving merely the sulphurous stink of intellectual fraud on an epic scale.

The IPCC has been forced to admit that it was wrong to predict that the Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035 and has been accused of falsely linking global warming to a rise in extreme weather events. Subsequently it was revealed that the IPCC stated that observed reductions in mountain ice in the Andes, Alps and Africa was being caused by global warming, citing two papers as the source of the information. However, it can be revealed that one of the sources quoted was a feature article published in a popular magazine for climbers which was based on anecdotal evidence from mountaineers about the changes they were witnessing on the mountainsides around them. The other was a dissertation written by a geography student, studying for the equivalent of a master’s degree, at the University of Berne in Switzerland that quoted interviews with mountain guides in the Alps. …”

5. From The Mail On Line (UK) – 2/14/10 – Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995 By Jonathan Petre

Article summarizes a BBC interview with Phil Jones, who is the man at the very center of climategate – chief honcho aat the British Climate Research Unit.:

 Data for vital ‘hockey stick graph’ has gone missing

 There has been no global warming since 1995

 Warming periods have happened before – but NOT due to man-made changes

He [Jones] also agreed that there had been two periods which experienced similar warming, from 1910 to 1940 and from 1975 to 1998, but said these could be explained by natural phenomena whereas more recent warming could not.

He further admitted that in the last 15 years there had been no ‘statistically significant’ warming, although he argued this was a blip rather than the long-term trend.

And he said that the debate over whether the world could have been even warmer than now during the medieval period, when there is evidence of high temperatures in northern countries, was far from settled….”

He also leaves open the possibility, long resisted by climate change activists, that the ‘Medieval Warm Period’ from 800 to 1300 AD, and thought by many experts to be warmer than the present period, could have encompassed the entire globe.

This is an amazing retreat, since if it was both global and warmer, the green movement’s argument that our current position is ‘unprecedented’ would collapse.

These current extracts from around the world are representative of many more articles on the CO2 hoax that can be found on the internet, except from the land of the lying progressive media – the good old USA (with the notable exception of the Arizona Republic and probably a few others).

Besides media and government being stuck ostrich-like in the CO2 hoax, some big corporations are equally complicit in promoting the hoax. General Electric is a prime example. They closed their tungsten-lamp facilities in the US and opened curly florescent factories in China, an example of killing redneck jobs and getting green jobs …in China. And General Electric again on “green” wind turbines and “green” solar panels – lots of green jobs …but in low-wage China again.. You have to hand it to those GE executives – they know how to boost that bottom line, especially by greasing the wheels in Washington and getting taxpayer funds sent in their direction.. But transferring their manufacturing business to China is only part of their complicity in the hoax. As owners of NBC and its affiliates GE is in the catbird seat for spreading propaganda and disinformation on global warming to the American public.

Where GE really planned on making a killing is the cap and trade bill, and GE has been an ardent supporter of this taxpayer-fleecing operation. The public might excuse the Pavleys and the Schwarzeneggers: for their folly since they are mere politicians with little or no scientific training who were led away from the truth by their respective cabals of disengenuous bureaucrats. But General Electric? No, not the executive masters of this center of engineering excellence and high science. They knew the fraud that was being pushed onto the American people and they not only got on board but overboard when they saw the profit potential of cap and trade. GE is just an example; there are many more, including all the major banks that are backing this giant fraud.

The anti-CO2 regulations have already damaged the state economy with mandating economically infeasible programs that are only sustained by political fiat and waste of taxpayer funds. Examples – again the poor-grade lighting of curly-florescent light bulbs and the danger of widespread mercury contamination; unreliable solar panels and wind turbines; exalted auto emission standards that will result in further reduction in vehicle strength to resist accidents; onerous regulations forced on the electric power industry, such as having a high percentage of renewable energy in installed capacity (all of which basically require a CO2-producing thermal plant of equal capacity to “firm up” the unreliable green energy); and do not forget the governor’s order to the grid managers not to buy economical coal-fired electricity from the western states, raising the cost of all imported electric power for California consumers. Obama promised to skyrocket electricity costs. Governor Schwarzenegger and Senator Pavley have given California an advanced introduction to Obamapower, which will be additive. And these are only a sampling of the businesses that will be affected; cement production will probably no longer be economically feasible in California, bakeries and restaurants, schools, even your home.

All green jobs that are dependent on the CO2 hoax are founded in mid-air. It is only a matter of time before gravity exacts its price. To the extent that green jobs depend on the CO2 hoax, they will fall of their own weight. To minimize the damage to the economy AB 32 and like legislation needs to be rescinded.

How long will the people of California continue to allow this CO2 charade to poison our state’s economy and export our businesses and jobs? We have an opportunity to set AB32 aside with the Suspend AB32 proposition 23, which would delay enforcement of AB32 until our current 12 percent unemployment drops to 5.5 percent, when the state and California businesses will presumably be in better shape to handle the cost of AB32. That could put AB 32 on ice for a decade or more, since there are already huge business disincentives resulting from the legislature’s extreme left-wing tax and spend policies, and consequent wide-spread job losses throughout the private sector. Recovery from the California employment mess is not even on the horizon at the moment. Proposition 23 will go a long way towards improving the overall business environment, since it will reflect a major change in direction in state policy towards business. It is only business that creates real jobs, not government bureaucracies and subsidized greeny gadgets.

Representative Dan Logue presented the elements of the proposition in the form of AB 118 in January, 2010. The bill was presented to the Assembly Natural Resources Committee for forwarding to the Assembly but all the AGW zealots on the committee voted it down. Meanwhile, the suspend AB 32 proposition 23 is a temporary band-aide that the people of California can enact to stop the job losses and other mischief that AB 32 will impose.

Proposition 23 can still be faulted in that it allows that AB32 could some day be resurrected when unemployment drops below 5.5 percent. Since AB 32 is based on the carbon hoax, it needs to be permanently killed so that it is no longer affecting investment decisions and job creation. If Proposition 23 passes that will give California time to work out a permanent spot in the graveyard for AB 32 and other carbon control bills, regulations, and executive orders. We need a massive funeral for AB32 and similar bills, regulations and Schwarzenneger executive orders that depend on the CO2 hoax. Please note that this is not to say that all greeny ideas are bad. But AB32 certainly is, since it is founded on a proven hoax, that man-made carbon dioxide is causing global warming.

Jerry Brown, California attorney general and Democrat candidate for governor, renamed the proposition with a title designed to obfuscate the bill and confuse voters (Brown is an AGW zealot himself and led the battle to get the chemistry-challenged Supreme Court to declare that EPA has the authority to find that CO2 is a pollutant; so Brown has a personal motive to kill this proposition). Fortunately the court threw out his inane title for the proposition and it is known as the California Jobs Initiative.
