The global warming (or is it climate change, it has been cool lately) crowd keeps pretending that the planet is warming and that we are all doomed unless we subscribe to their policies and change our lifestyles.
Via the New Scientist:
What hope is there for a deal on climate change based on science? The answer seems to be “not much”.
Climate negotiators meeting over the past two weeks in Bonn, Germany, enjoyed a new spirit of bonhomie as they worked to heal the rifts created by the failure of UN talks in Copenhagen, Denmark, last December. At the close of talks on 11 June, they believed they were back on track to deliver a new climate agreement by the end of 2011.
But diplomatic harmony has come at a price: sacrificing a cool future for planet Earth.
Until Copenhagen, the aim was to set targets for major emitters of greenhouse gases that would limit warming to 2 °C. That required, as a first step, that by 2020 industrialised countries cut emissions by 25 to 40 per cent compared with 1990 levels.
While that target remains an option in draft deals, most negotiators say they will have to accept whatever pledges industrialised countries are prepared to make. Right now those pledges add up to cuts of between 12 and 19 per cent, according to the UN climate secretariat. And there are loopholes that could mean even these pledges amount to virtually nothing.
“As things stand now, we will not be able to halt the increase in global greenhouse gas emissions in the next 10 years,” UN chief negotiator Yvo de Boer said in Bonn. “The 2-degree world is in danger. The door to a 1.5-degree world is rapidly closing.” De Boer is stepping down at the end of this month, and his successor, Costa Rican diplomat Christiana Figueres, said her priority was “rebuilding trust” rather than setting objectives.
You cant say the entire planet is warming if its not warming in my back yard.
The global warming / climate change crowd are only interested in control and wealth distribution. Not science.

Excellent post! Keep the global warming fraud front and center, out in the open, since with the oil spill debacle, you know that somehow Team Obama will link the two to justify the heinous cap and trade “tax Americans to the grave” legislation. The Dems have been rather quiet on this, which makes me worry all the more that they will try to sneak it through just before Labor Day.
Liberals will connect the dots thusly: deep sea oil rig mechanical failure = bogus climate change = oppressive carbon credit mandates = Al Gore is now an even richer man.
Thank you!
A you said , the liberal progression runs from oil well failure-> oil in the Gulf of Mexico -> cap and trade is cray. This will further drag our economy down and put even more people out of work.
All over a fraud and hoax.
