I have repeated said that the Global warming (recently morphed into climate change because during the winter no one believes them) people were all about being anti-capitalist since the old Soviet Union was no longer there as a base for it.

Climate Justice? What the F**K is that? Oh, I know, another scheme by the rest of the America hating world to try to get us to give them money. F them.

Imagine the stupidity of someone who believes that because it gets colder in the winter, there is no global warming.

That statement shows that you not only don't understand capitalism but that you are a socialist fool.

Capitalism does not steal, it builds wealth for it's investors and workers. If I own a company and it is within the law and makes a profit, is it your assertion I am stealing?

What a foolish and ignorant statement. But so typical of a Marxist.

Just exactly what do you mean? If I dump my garbage in my neighbors back yard, why would you feel he should pay to clean up my mess? Does it depend on rather I'm worth more financially than he is? If I'm richer, he has to clean it up? If an oil tanker dumps millions of gallons of oil on the beach in my neighbor hood, why would the oil company not be required to clean it up? If an coal burning electric company fouls up the air, should the neighbor across the border have to pay to fix the problem? Why exacty do you think rich countries and companies can pollute with impunity and the poor pay to do the cleanup? That's no capitalism. That is exploitation.

I think I can answer that one.


MYTH: (http://www.edf.org/page.cfm?tagID=1011) Recent cold winters and cool summers don’t feel like global warming to me.

FACT: While different pockets of the country have experienced some cold winters here and there, the overall trend is warmer winters.

Measurements show that over the last century the Earth’s climate has warmed overall, in all seasons, and in most regions. Climate skeptics mislead the public when they claim that the winter of 2003–2004 was the coldest ever in the northeastern United States. That winter was only the 33rd coldest in the region since records began in 1896. Furthermore, a single year of cold weather in one region of the globe is not an indication of a trend in the global climate, which refers to a long-term average over the entire planet.

It appears that the definition you seek is implicit in the citation you list. Climate injustice, according o Koffie Annan, is the exploitation of natural resources by wealthy nations at the expense of poorer nations.

As for the rest of the world "hating" the USA, I would remind you that after 9-11 the French newspaper, Le Mond Diplomatique summed up the overall feeling in the world with the headline, Maintenant, nous sommes tous Americains.

Only later, with the unjustified invasion of Iraq, did public opinion turn against the Bush Administration -- not the American people.

Bullshit.

TB mentioned corporations keeping wages low.

Large corporations share salary data and collectively conspire to fix wages.

There is no law that prevents it. You cannot fix prices, but you can fix wages.

Oracle Peoplesoft is one of the tools used.

Generally corporations conspire with other companies in their own line of business. Since those alternate companies are where their employees would go if they were seeking a wage increase.

Human activity is accelerating warming to a point that is dangerous for human survival.

That human activity is causing the current rapid warming is no longer a matter of dispute.

What's Known

Scientists know with virtual certainty that:

* Human activities are changing the composition of Earth's atmosphere. Increasing levels of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere since pre-industrial times are well-documented and understood.
* The atmospheric buildup of CO2 and other greenhouse gases is largely the result of human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels.
* An “unequivocal” warming trend of about 1.0 to 1.7°F occurred from 1906-2005. Warming occurred in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and over the oceans (IPCC, 2007).
* The major greenhouse gases emitted by human activities remain in the atmosphere for periods ranging from decades to centuries. It is therefore virtually certain that atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases will continue to rise over the next few decades.
* Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations tend to warm the planet.

The True Cause of Global Warming


As part of the earth changes I envision taking place, I think what is happening in part is that the shift in the Earth's pole from its current incline of 23.5 degrees to its eventual shift to zero point or true magnetic north is resulting in climate change across the planet as the entire Earth is subjected to more direct heat from the sun and less seasonal inclination of the Earth's axis, which means that global warming has nothing to do with greenhouse gases. This has been a ruse of the establishment academics to divert our attention from the real cause, which is the incremental changes in weather resulting from the pole shift that is already underway.
The result of the Earth receiving more direct rays from the sun is that the poles are melting, simultaneously leading to higher sea levels. As the continental shelf of ice recedes in Alaska, the Antarctic, and Greenland, we are seeing a lightening of the ice shelves on the landmasses weighed down by them. The effect of this most poignantly is that the great continental landmass of Antarctica is springing back into position above sea level. Increased tectonic, earthquake and icequake activity are the result. Also, as the weight of ice on Antarctica recedes, the continental weight of the Antarctic shelf also lightens, allowing fault lines dormant for centuries to move and slide. This is causing increased earthquake activity on a global scale. The resulting effect is of course increased tsunami activity. The recent spate of seismic disturbances to hit Indonesia are one such example and the resulting tsunamis that have inundated Sri Lanka are but the first of a wave of such disasters that will begin to affect the world with increasing violence as the frequency and intensity of these events continues to grow.
We had better strap on our seatbelts because the problem is not about to go away. The Pentagon white paper of early 2004 leaked to the Guardian newspaper in England warned about such future earth change-related events. This is but the first in what is likely to prove one of the most serious early effects of the pole shift. Milutin Milankovitch, a Serbian astronomer of the nineteenth century charted these changes in the incline of the Earth's polar axis and realized they were instrumental in precipitating the glacial and interglacial periods affecting the northern hemisphere, where most of the earth's landmass and accompanying human population are concentrated. This coupled with changes in the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit around the sun result in changes leading to longer winters and shorter summers, leading in turn to a buildup of ice and snow precipitating a glacial advance known as an ice age, or the reverse—longer summers and shorter winters, resulting in a glacial retreat known as an interglacial period.
These ice ages and interglacial periods could be equated with season change on a more cosmic scale, season change in cosmic time if you like. In other words, an ice age could be conceived as a more protracted winter period of gestation and rest when the entire Earth is slumbering and in hibernation for the next period of evolutionary development on the planet. In other words, an ice age resulting from the Earth's pole shifting the landmasses of the northern hemisphere away from the sun's warmth dispensing light in addition to a more eccentric elliptical orbit around the sun, produces the kind of accumulated buildup of ice and snow over an Earth year precipitating those conditions leading to a glacial advance to more southern climbs. The reverse is true when the Earth's axis inclines toward the sun at a period coinciding with a protracted summer period in cosmic time. This leads to a buildup of heat and a retreat of wintertime ice and snow, so that the glacial ice of the ice age recedes, precipitating a thaw or spring in cosmic time, bringing an end to the ice age.
In summary, the Earth is entering a period of less intense annual season change resulting from a gradual shift of the Earth's pole to true magnetic north. This means that the entire surface of the Earth is receiving more direct light from the sun, raising temperatures worldwide including the frozen north. This in turn is precipitating a meltdown of the polar icecaps, leading to higher sea levels in turn. Rising seas coincide with a lightening of the continental ice shelf weighing down the landmasses of the Arctic, the frozen northern islands of Canada and the northern wastes of northern Russia and Europe. More importantly, the tremendous weight of ice, previously depressing Antarctica beneath sea level, has allowed the continent of Antarctica to emerge from hibernation and rise once again from its protracted period of suspended animation. The resulting climate change has sponsored an increase of quake activity on Antarctica, whose tectonic plates are no longer held in place by the great weight of ice. Simultaneously, there is occurring increased plate movement along the ocean floors as the weight once holding them in place is removed. Increased quake activity worldwide in accompaniment with rising seas does not bode well. One does not need to be a prophet to see what's coming. An informed mind and a modicum of common sense is all that is required.

What is the True Nature of the Global Warming Scare?

What is the true nature of the global warming scare? Why, in the face of all the new information, are the global warming alarmists still insisting that humans are the cause of global climate change?

One possible answer is power. Power to control you and power over your life.

At the “Live Earth” concert in America, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. makes a very interesting revelation about the true nature of the current global warming scare. He said “It is more important then buying compact fluorescent light bulbs or then buy a fuel efficient automobile the most important thing you can do is to get involved in the political process and get rid of all these rotten politicians that we have in Washington DC.”

If humans are truly to blame for global warming, why is it more important to get involved with politics then it is to make simple changes such as compact fluorescent bulbs and energy efficient cars? Wasn’t the whole point of “Live Earth” to “educate” us “on the looming catastrophe of global climate change” and “simple changes we can make to limit our carbon footprint?”*

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. further went on to say that all scientists that are skeptical are “crooked scientists that are lying to the American people day after day after day.” I guess he must mean that all the independent scientists that have come out with studies contradicting the hypothesis of human emissions of CO2 are causing climate change are some how in the pocket of American companies and American politicians? That is a really big conspericy.

Believe it or not, Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). This in fact is the greatest deception in the history of science. We are wasting time, energy and trillions of dollars while creating unnecessary fear and consternation over an issue with no scientific justification. For example, Environment Canada (http://www.canadafreepress.com/2007/global-warming020507.htm#) brags about spending $3.7 billion in the last five years dealing with climate change almost all on propaganda trying to defend an indefensible scientific position while at the same time closing weather stations and failing to meet legislated pollution targets.



As Lindzen said many years ago: "the consensus was reached before the research had even begun." Now, any scientist who dares to question the prevailing wisdom is marginalized and called a sceptic, when in fact they are simply being good scientists. This has reached frightening levels with these scientists now being called climate change denier with all the holocaust connotations of that word. The normal scientific method is effectively being thwarted.
Meanwhile, politicians are being listened to, even though most of them have no knowledge or understanding of science, especially the science of climate and climate change. Hence, they are in no position to question a policy on climate change when it threatens the entire planet. Moreover, using fear and creating hysteria makes it very difficult to make calm rational decisions about issues needing attention.
Until you have challenged the prevailing wisdom you have no idea how nasty people can be. Until you have re-examined any issue in an attempt to find out all the information, you cannot know how much misinformation exists in the supposed age of information.

You can find lots of crap, yes. You can post it, yes. But can you dispute the scientific reality? No, you can't.

No, it wasn't. It was spin.

I have to get to work, and as I said, we've all been down this path before.

Read what the EPA said.

Got proof of a spin? Got any scientific links?

I gave you the EPA link. The EPA doesn't have the time or resources to rebut all the idiocy on the internet.

Interesting though how your posted source says this.....

Future Climate Change


Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere will increase during the next century unless greenhouse gas emissions (http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/index.html) decrease substantially from present levels. Increased greenhouse gas concentrations are very likely to raise the Earth's average temperature, influence precipitation and some storm patterns as well as raise sea levels (IPCC, 2007 (http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/science/futurecc.html#ref)). The magnitude of these changes, however, is uncertain.
The amount and speed of future climate change will ultimately depend on:

Whether greenhouse gases and aerosol concentrations increase, stay the same or decrease.
How strongly features of the climate (e.g. temperature, precipitation and sea level) respond to changes in greenhouse gas and aerosol concentrations.
How much the climate varies as a result of natural influences (e.g. from volcanic activity and changes in the sun ’s intensity) and its internal variability (referring to random changes in the circulation of the atmosphere and oceans).
Funny how I don't see specific proof that man alone is causing this..........
