Trust me, it’s all a big lie created by “Big Science” and Al Gore to trick a gullible public into funding useless research and investment in environmentally “clean” technologies, aided and abetted by the liberal media who are out to destroy our economy because they think capitalism is evil. At least according to the good folks who write letters to the Sheyboygan Press:
Why are politicians the ones promoting global warming while our national weather experts strongly deny its possibility?
Is it because the Al Gores of the world are making hundreds of millions of dollars on this fantasy? There is a promise of billions more if they can convince a gullible public and get its full support.
Please let us listen to the experts not the politicians. It is estimated taxpayers will foot the bill for over a $1 trillion in global warming “fixes” and this is just the tip of the iceberg. […]
“Politically correct” ideas are given full support by most news sources, while opposing views are held in contempt and suppressed. Yet politically correct ideas originate from politicians who want to gain votes and win elections, regardless of consequences and actual facts.
Many global warming supporters are sincere, but the powerful forces within the movement have their eyes set on the astronomical profits to be made from taxpayers. An old adage wisely says, “follow the money.” […]
Many are aware that “if you repeat a lie often enough, it appears to be the truth.” No wonder our candidates for president have uncovered their deceit when actual truth has been exposed.

Yes, “Global Warming” is all about the trillions of dollars Al Gore and others are trying to steal through the use of fraud, lies and deceit from American taxpayers. Why that dirty, lying son of a bitch! What a villains, what an ogres, he and this nefarious henchmen, the climate scientists of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, are. Just follow the money I tell you! They are all scheming to take away your jobs and your God given right to drive your hummers and SUV’s merely to line their pockets with ill gotten gains, because anyone who actually examines this issue objectively can see that it’s all one great Big Lie!
Someone really should tell the good folks in Australia it’s all a scheme to destroy the free world, and that the massive drought they believe is occurring, which is just like the droughts predicted by these so-called climate change scientists, must be a figment of their imagination:
(cont.)
The Deniliquin mill, the largest rice mill in the Southern Hemisphere, once processed enough grain to satisfy the daily needs of 20 million people. But six long years of drought have taken a toll, reducing Australia’s rice crop by 98 percent and leading to the mothballing of the mill last December. […]
The collapse of Australia’s rice production is one of several factors contributing to a doubling of rice prices in the last three months â increases that have led the world’s largest exporters to restrict exports severely, spurred panicked hoarding in Hong Kong and the Philippines, and set off violent protests in countries including Cameroon, Egypt, Ethiopia, Haiti, Indonesia, Italy, Ivory Coast, Mauritania, the Philippines, Thailand, Uzbekistan and Yemen.
Drought affects every agricultural industry based here, not just rice â from sheepherding, the other mainstay in this dusty land, to the cultivation of wine grapes, the fastest-growing crop here, with that expansion often coming at the expense of rice. […[
While a link between short-term changes in weather and long-term climate change is not certain, the unusually severe drought is consistent with what climatologists predict will be a problem of increasing frequency.
Indeed, the chief executive of the National Farmers’ Federation in Australia, Ben Fargher, says, “Climate change is potentially the biggest risk to Australian agriculture.” […]
For farmers in a richer nation like Australia the effects of the current drought are already significant.
The rice farmers who do not give up and sell their land or water rights are experimenting with varieties or techniques that require less water. Australia now has some of the world’s highest rice yields for a given quantity of water.
Still, Australia’s total rice capacity has declined by about a third because many farmers have permanently sold water rights, mostly for grape production. And production last year was far lower because of a severe shortage of water; rice farmers received one-eighth of the water they are usually promised by the government. […]
Ranchers like Peter Milliken, who raises sheep on 37,500 acres near Hay, Australia, are trying to reduce the water they use. Milliken is installing a buried nine-mile pipe to replace an irrigation canal that lost up to 90 percent of its water to evaporation â and planning for the day when he does not irrigate at all.
Sheep farmers have already worked out cooperative arrangements to send flocks to whatever fields have recently received rain, sometimes herding or trucking them long distances. Keeping an eye on a flock, Frank Cox, a drover, said recently, “We had to move the sheep because they were dying of starvation, and truck them down here.”
What wimps these Aussies are, eh? A few years of severe drought and they’re ready to jump on Al Gore’s global warming bandwagon. Show some gumption mates. My guess? God is simply punishing them for their lazy, hedonistic lifestyles. Put fewer shrimps on the barbie, and more butts in church pews and I’m sure this whole drought crisis would quickly be a thing of the past.
Don’t you agree? I’m sure John Hagee does.
You left the other ‘r’ out of ‘warring’ in the title.
Oh wait…the title was sarcastic, and the article is about global WARMING!
I wish I were that clever. Typo corrected.
For more intelligent non-liberal thoughts from Dick McDonald, go read his blog!
I noticed today’s posts on his site are praising McCain’s determination to squash all earmarks.
Below his post is one from BlogMate Dennis Prager. Considering Pragers position on Israel it might prove entertaining to ask him his reaction to McCain’s earmark position and how much of Israel’s aid from the US come in the form of earmarks.
Then again, these guys may be living proof that the Neanderthals were a separate branch from us and that they did not die out but were born again.
is even stupider than Douglas Feith.
It’s all Reagan’s fault ya know. He’s the one that implemented shutting down so many of the mental health facilities. Where is Nurse Ratchett when you need her?
named him well.
The claims that global warming is all about a few people making money are certainly hogwash. But it certainly isn’t hogwash to point out that Al Gore is extremely corrupt, and that he has been raking in some very, very, very big bucks from corporate interests. He’s taken in well over $100 million since 2000 (more than the Clintons even) and is looking to make a lot more than that. Which is probably why he studiously refuses to address the military-industrial complex, despite their being by far the largest users of fossil fuels in the world, as well as refusing to even mention corporate corruption, another very pressing issue. Anyone who is really concerned about global warming would be focusing on them day and night. Gore may care about global warming, but he also enjoys taking up to $1 million at a time for speeches on the topic.
Just finished reading this where in 1421 to 1423 the author suggests that Chinese Treasure Ships sailed around the world charting maps for later use by Columbus and Magellan and others. Toward the end the Chinese sailed around Greenland and may have been able to sail quite close to the N. pole. That group of ships may have completed their journey home by taking the Northwest Passage (The Europeans were constantly looking for it but it wasn’t available due to the ice) Written descriptions of Greenland were available that described areas of grassland used for grazing. The author suggested the earth has orbits that vary causing these cycles of warmth and cold. Maybe we shouldn’t jump to conclusions without all the possibilities.
Yes, maybe we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Maybe we should examine the scientific evidence presented by scientists who actually study this phenomena. The vast majority of them agree, and have for some time, that the earthy is warming dramatically, and that the cause of this increased warming is all the carbon emissions by human beings generated by our dependence on fossil fuels.
Check out the facts, not the rhetoric, not the bullshit that global warming skeptics, many of them funded heavily by Big Oil, the automotive industry and the energy utilities, and you’ll find an amazing consensus that we are the problem. The last ten years globally have been the hottest years on record. Severe droughts are increasing in Africa, Australia and here in the Unite States. The polar ice is shrinking dramatically more and more each year. Glaciers are disappearing. Species are going extinct at an ever increasing rate. Severe weather is on the rise. And man made carbon emissions are increasing right along with these other phenomena. Phenomena by the way predicted by the climate models climate scientists have created.
Go to this site: Real Climate if you want an accurtate, up to date analysis if what climate scientists are studying and finding in their research. If the science presented there is too difficult to follow or too esoteric to understand, here is another informative site which explains global warming and climate change in terms a lay person can readily digest and explains why the arguments of climate change skeptics are generally full of bunk. I also recommend reading the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (careful: pdf file) which is also quite a good resource and explains both the science and the consequences of global climate change. If the entire report is too much to read at once the Summary for Policy Makers (also a pdf file) is more than enough to get you started.
