Copenhagen, Climate and the EPA

The global warming argument is falling apart at the seams since the disclosure of evidence that scientific groups assembling the so-called proof of global warming were manipulating data to create a false validation of their theories. The evidence also shows that they were actively engaged in discrediting scientists that even questioned the theory of global warming and sought to exclude them and their work from any discussion on the subject.

Andy Revkin of the New York Times is finding out what happens to people that haven’t drunk their weekly dose of “Klimate Kool-Aid”. Andy wrote a blog piece on the climate conference in Copenhagen that is trying to recover momentum in the wake of the University of East Anglia’s “climate-gate” scandal. He included what he thought was an amusing story about Copenhagen Prostitutes. Copenhagen Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards to city hotels warning summit guests not to patronize Danish sex workers during the upcoming climate conference.

That did not sit well with the ladies of the evening and they are fighting back. Although I imagine that heavy breathing could be construed by global warming fanatics as creating an increase in carbon dioxide emissions from the delegates, prostitution is still a legitimate and otherwise, environmentally friendly business in Copenhagen. In retaliation, the ladies announced that they would offer free “services” to anyone that brought in one of the Mayor’s postcards.

Michael Schlesinger, a climatologist at the University of Illinois wrote a scathing note to Mr. Rivken that contained more that just his disgust about some silly story about Copenhagen prostitutes. Apparently Mr. Schlesinger didn’t get the memo about the damage that is caused when scientists try to squash dissenting opinions on global warming. It reeks of a cover-up and worse, it gives the appearance that global warming proponents are on some kind of religious fundamentalist quest to limit even the discussion of global warming to only the faithful.

Michael Schlesinger wrote:

“Andy:Copenhagen prostitutes?Climate prostitutes?Shame on you for this gutter reportage. This is the second time this week I have written you thereon, the first about giving space in your blog to the Pielkes.The vibe that I am getting from here, there and everywhere is that your reportage is very worrisome to most climate scientists. Of course, your blog is your blog. But, I sense that you are about to experience the 'Big Cutoff' from those of us who believe we can no longer trust you, me included. Copenhagen prostitutes?
Unbelievable and unacceptable. What are you doing and why? Michael”

Hmmm? The most worrisome part of that to me is: “The vibe that I am getting from here, there and everywhere is that your reportage is very worrisome to most climate scientists. Of course, your blog is your blog. But, I sense that you are about to experience the 'Big Cutoff' from those of us who believe we can no longer trust you, me included.”

If you are not in lock step with the “Church of Climatology” they apparently excommunicate you. So is that how they maintain such tight control of the media when stories like the CRU of the University of East Anglia is concerned? The main stream media ignored that for as long as humanly possible but the word still managed to get out. We now know they already hand select data that fits their needs and dispose of the troublesome facts that don’t but if they are really attempting to control what is written and what is spoken, then all of their research is suspect.

Did you notice the remark about giving blog space to “the Pielkes”? Roger Pielke is a professor of environmental studies at the Center for Science and Technology Policy Research at the University of Colorado at Boulder but Mr. Pielke is also a skeptic of global warming. Andy Rivken obviously violated the “Big Cutoff” of Roger Pielke by giving him mention in his blog and that is why Rivken can no longer be trusted by the clergy of the Church of Climatology. Maybe in Gore’s next film we’ll be able to watch Tom Cruise grill Salinger and we’ll finally find out who ordered the “Code Red”!

Of course the Obama administration is leaving nothing to chance. When Obama took office, global warming was being called a confirmed science and he had the threat of global disaster on his side to enable him enact insanely powerful climate legislation; legislation that would give the government control over every business, enterprise and activity in this nation.

If you recall some of my earlier articles, I reported the blatant admission of socialists that the environmental movement would help them achieve their goals faster than any other strategy they could employ. People began to question my logic when climate-gate surfaced. After all, if this were actually some deeply rooted Marxist plot, then they wouldn’t let that slip away from them. Well, they probably wouldn’t if they didn’t have a “plan B”.

On December 7, 2009, the Administrator of the EPA, signed two distinct findings regarding greenhouse gases under section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act:

1- Endangerment Finding: The Administrator finds that the current and projected concentrations of the six key well-mixed greenhouse gases--carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)--in the atmosphere threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations.

2- Cause or Contribute Finding: The Administrator finds that the combined emissions of these well-mixed greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles and new motor vehicle engines contribute to the greenhouse gas pollution which threatens public health and welfare.

Isn’t it funny that the President announced that he was reneging on his agreement to place defensive missiles in Poland on the 70th anniversary of the invasion of Poland by the Soviet Union? Now his EPA chief announces on the 68th anniversary of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor that the Obama administration is going to do an end run around Congress and the Constitution to enact the most damaging parts of the “cap and tax” legislation through loopholes in the Environmental Protection act that would allow this agency to act without congressional approval if a “danger to the public” exists.

Carol Browner, Obama’s Climate Czar, threatened to use the EPA and the Supreme Court to obtain authority to ram these massive regulatory actions down our throats if the Climate Bill failed. They probably would have waited for the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor before announcing their sneak attack on America but things aren’t looking so good for them in the 2010 election and they probably feared that a Congress that was no longer full of Democrat stooges might use the power of legislation to append the EPA to close the loophole before they could do their supreme damage to our economy and our way of life.

It is clear that we are running out of time with the pace these people are taking. I just hope that 2010 isn’t too late to put the brakes on. Like Nazi Germany, I fear this is a scorched earth administration and if they can’t control it, they will burn it to the ground so no one else can out of nothing but sheer spite.

    Freedom Lovers: At least something will be rotten in the state of Denmark when the White House Squirrel (tied to Acorn) arrives in Copenhagen to find ways to CHEW us out and SNUFF out freedom! Speaking of Copenhagen, we've gotta find ways to cope with that squirrel which keeps hoggin' the spotlight! Squirrel Watcher
