Subject: Re: [JBirch] Digest Number 1583:Global warming hoax
That isn't the only hoax: global warming is one aspect of "sustainable
development," the current name for Communism. It is part of "The
Environmental" movement that has displaced the prior "Conservation"
movement at terrible cost to both people and other living things. The
1960's "Report from Iron Mountain concerning the Possibility and
Desirability of Peace" studied UFOs and Environment as two possible
hoaxes to unite mankind and maintain the power of the Superelites
(Insiders). Evidently, the Environment nonsense won--we just won't
believe the dangerous aliens.
But the Environazi movement is almost as vulnerable as
Space-aliens-are-coming-to-get-us, because it, too, is unscientific and
rather easily discredited. Thousands of actual weather scientists have
signed a petition against the global warming hoax, an extraordinary
number. Private ownership of land is better for plants and animals than
"the Tragedy of the Commons," as shown in lovely articles in The New
American and elsewhere, such as the photos of private vs. public land on
the slopes of Mt. St. Helens after the eruptions. And the carbon dioxide
scare is especially ridiculous because we all learn in third grade or so
that carbon dioxide and water are the basis of photosynthesis--and hence
of all endangered plants (including the rainforest) as well as common
ones (such as food) and the rare and common animals that feed on them.
Anybody who is against carbon dioxide is against life. Only fossil fuels
increase carbon dioxide, so fossil fuels are the only fuels that increase
life on Earth. Since the plants produced include wood and corn (for
biodiesel), they can be burned over and over again, once the long-trapped
fossil is released to the atmosphere via burning. Fossil fuels are NOT
"nonrenewable;" they are SUPERRENEWABLE.
All the lies are to benefit the insiders, the JBS has fought since its
founding. Today, the insiders ares promoting their hopeful world
government the UN. JBS has an exciting campaign to get US out of the
UN--and a very hot campaign to get the UN out of the US (be sure to sign
the petition and otherwise promote this). The UN uses lies, as complained
of below. The contrast between what the UN calls "silly," and the easily
proved truth may be what wins this campaign.

Global warming will cost Americans...
There is NO man-made global warming
By Tom DeWeese
December 15, 2004
National Sovereignty Vote Index
Daily reports from COP 10
There is no scientific evidence to back claims of man-made
global
warming. Period.
Anyone who tells you that scientific research shows warming
trends -
be they teachers, newscasters, Congressmen, Senators, vice
presidents, or
presidents - is wrong.
In fact, scientific research through U.S. government
satellite and
balloon measurements shows that the temperature is actually
cooling - very
slightly - 0.037 degrees Celsius.
A little research into modern-day temperature trends bears
this out.
For example, in 1936, the Midwest of the United States
experienced 49
consecutive days of temperatures over 90 degrees. There were
another 49
consecutive days in 1955. But in 1992, there was only one
day over 90
degrees and, in 1997, only five days.
Because of modern science and improved equipment, this
"cooling"
trend has been most accurately documented over the past 18
years.
Ironically, that's the same period of time the hysteria has
grown over dire
warnings of "warming."
Changes in global temperatures are natural. In fact, much
of the
recent severe weather has been directly attributed to a
natural phenomenon
that occurs every so often, called El Nino. It causes ocean
temperatures to
rise, as tropical trade winds actually reverse, for a time.
The resulting temperature changes cause severe storms,
flooding, and
even drought on every continent on earth. It's completely
natural. El Nino
has been wreaking its havoc across the globe since long
before man
appeared.
How about the reports that the polar ice cap is melting? On
Election
Day, the Financial Times of London carried the hysterical
headline: "Arctic
Ice Cap Set to Disappear by the Year 2070."
The article stated that the Arctic ice cap is melting at an
unprecedented rate. The article is based on a report titled
Impacts of a
Warming Arctic, submitted by a group of researchers called
the Arctic
Climate Impact Assessement (ACIA).
It must be understood just who makes up this so-called
group of
researchers. The report is not unbiased scientific data.
Rather, it is
propaganda from political groups that have an agenda.
The report was commissioned by the Arctic Council, which is
comprised of a consortium of radical envionmentalists from
Canada, Denmark,
Iceland, Finland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the United
States. All are
nations that possess land within the Arctic Circle.
Many of these countries, through the Kyoto Protocol, have a
financial stake in pushing the global warming agenda. One of
the groups
providing "scientists" to the ACIA "researchers" is the
World Wildlife
Fund, one of the leading chicken-little scaremongers that
create junk
science at the drop of a news release, to terrify us all
into proper
environmental conduct.
The report is now being used at the global warming meeting,
currently underway in Buenos Aires, to rally the troops, and
bully the
United States into accepting the discredited Kyoto Protocol.
We are being warned of killer heat waves, vast flooding,
and the
spread of tropical diseases. Ocean levels are rising, and
America's
coastlines are doomed, they tell us. Hurricanes and
tornadoes have already
become more violent, we're warned. Floods and droughts have
begun to ravage
the nation, they cry.
Any change in temperatures, an excessive storm, or extended
flooding
is looked upon as a sure sign that environmental Armageddon
is upon us.
Diabolical environmentalists are using the natural El Nino
phenomenon to
whip people into a global warming hysteria.
Two kinds of scientists
We are assured by such groups that scientists everywhere
are
sounding these warnings, and that we may only have one
chance to stop it.
Well, as the debate rages, we find that there are really two
kinds of
scientists.
There are those who look at facts, and make their judgments
based on
what they see and know. Their findings can be matched by any
other
scientist, using the same data and set of circumstances, to
reach the same
conclusions. It's a age-old practice called "peer review."
It's the only
true science.
And then, there are those who yearn for a certain outcome,
and set
about creating the needed data to make it so. Usually, you
will find this
group of scientists greatly dependent on grants supplied by
those with a
specific political agenda, who demand desired outcomes for
their money.
Let's just take NASA, for example - the most trusted name
in
American science. A lot of NASA scientists have fallen into
the money trap.
Environmental science has become the life-blood of the space
program, as
the nation has lost interest in space travel. To keep the
bucks coming,
NASA has justified launches through the excuse of
earth-directed
environmental research. And, the budgets keep coming.
At the same time, many of NASA's scientists have a
political agenda
in great harmony with those who advocate global warming.
And, they're not
above using their position to aid that agenda whenever the
chance is
available.
This was never more clearly demonstrated than in 1992, when
a team
of three NASA scientists was monitoring conditions over
North America to
determine if the ozone layer was in danger. Inconclusive
data indicated
that conditions might be right for ozone damage over North
America - if
certain things happened.
True scientists are a careful lot. They study, they wait,
and many
times, they test again before drawing conclusions. Not so,
the green
zealot.
Of this three-member NASA team, two could not be sure of
what they
had found, and wanted to do more research. But one took the
data, and
rushed to the microphones with all of the drama of a
Hollywood movie, and
announced in hushed tones that NASA had discovered an ozone
hole over North
America.
Then-Senator Al Gore rushed to the floor of the Senate with
the news
and drove a stampede to immediately ban freon - five years
before Congress
had intended - and without a suitable substitute. He then
bullied President
George H.W. Bush to sign the legislation by saying the ozone
hole was over
Kennebunkport, Maine, Bush's favorite vacation spot.
Two months later, NASA announced - on the back pages of the
newspapers - that further research had shown there was no
such damage. But,
it was too late. The valuable commodity, known as freon, was
gone forever.
Flawed computer models
Then there are those computer models. Night after night,
Americans
watch the local news as the weatherman predicts what kind of
a day tomorrow
will be. These meteorologists, using the most up-to-date
equipment
available, boldly give you the five-day forecast.
But, it's well known that even with all of their research
and
expensive equipment, it really is just a "best guess." There
are just too
many variables. If the wind picks up here, it could blow in
a storm. If the
temperature drops there, it could start to snow. The earth
is a vast and
wondrous place. Weather does what it wants.
Yet, those who are promoting the global warming theory have
the
audacity to tell you, they can forecast changes in the
global climate
decades into the future.
The truth is that computer models are able to include only
two out
of 14 components that make up the climate system. To include
a third
component would take a computer a thousand times faster than
what we have
now.
To go beyond the third component requires an increase in
computer
power that is so large, only mathematicians can comprehend
the numbers.
Moreover, even if the computer power existed, scientists do
not understand
all the factors and the relationships between them that
determine the
global climate.
So, it's an outrage for the World Wildlife Fund or the
Sierra Club
to tell you that man-made global warming is a fact, and that
we Americans
must now suffer dire changes in our lifestyle to stop it.
Scientists are not on the global warming bandwagon
And so, too, is it an outrage for the news media to tell
you that
most true scientists now agree that man-made global warming
is a fact.
What it doesn't tell you is that roughly 500 scientists
from around
the world signed the Heidleburg Appeal in 1992, just prior
to the Earth
Summit in Rio de Janeiro, expressing their doubts, and
begging the
delegates not to bind the world to any dire treaties based
on global
warming.
Today, that figure has grown to more than 4,000 scientists.
Americans aren't being told that a 1997 Gallop Poll of
prominent North
American climatologists showed that 83 percent of them
disagreed with the
man-made global warming theory.
And, the deceit knows no bounds. The United Nations
released a
report at the end of 1996 saying global warming was a fact,
yet before
releasing the report, two key paragraphs were deleted from
the final draft.
Those two paragraphs, written by the scientists who did the
actual
scientific analysis, said:
1. "None of the studies cited above has shown clear
evidence that
we can attribute the observed climate changes to increases
in greenhouse
gases."
2. "No study to date has positively attributed all or part
of the
climate change to ... man-made causes."
Obviously, those two paragraphs aren't consistent with the
political
agenda the U.N. is pushing. So, science be damned. Global
warming is the
greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the people of the world -
bar none.
The Kyoto Climate Control Protocol
Those who have been fighting against the radical green
agenda have
been warning that modern-day environmentalism has little to
do with
protecting the environment. Rather, it is a political
movement led by those
who seek to control the world economies, dictate
development, and
redistribute the world's wealth.
They use the philosophical base of Karl Marx, the tactics
of the
KGB, and the rhetoric of the Sierra Club. The American
people have been
assaulted from all directions by rabid environmentalists.
Schoolchildren have been told that recycling is a matter of
life and
death. Businesses have been shut down. Valuable products,
like freon, have
been removed from the market. Chemicals and pesticides that
helped to make
this nation the safest and healthiest in the world are
targeted for
extinction. Our entire nation is being restructured to fit
the proper green
mold, all of it for a lie about something man has nothing to
do with.
But, the lie has grown to massive proportions - and the
game is
about to get very serious, indeed. Pressure is building
again to impose the
Kyoto Protocol worldwide.
Only a few years ago, this treaty appeared dead, when
President
George W. Bush refused American participation. Now, however,
Russia has
signed on, and the U.N. has enough support to begin
implementing its dire
consequences - even on the United States.
Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) has called the White House
stance on
global warming "terribly disappointing." McCain is now using
the ACIA
report to convene hearings on the "human effect on climate,
and what to do
about it." McCain intends to help build pressure on the
President to accept
the Kyoto Protocol.
In fact, the Kyoto Protocol is a legally binding
international
treaty, through which industrial nations agree to cut back
their energy
emissions to 7 percent below 1990 levels. This means that
all of the energy
growth since 1990 would be rolled back, plus 7 percent more.
Such a massive
disruption in the American economy, particularly since it
has nothing to do
with protecting the environment, would devastate this
nation.
To meet such drastically reduced energy standards would -
in the
short run - cost the United States more than one million
jobs. Some
estimate, it would cost more than seven million jobs in 14
years. If the
treaty sends the economy into a tailspin, as many predict,
it would cost
even more jobs.
It would cost the average family $1,000 to $4,000 per year
in
increased energy costs. The cost of food would skyrocket. It
has been
estimated that in order for the United States to meet such a
goal, our
gross domestic product would be reduced by $200 billion -
annually.
To force down energy use, the federal government would have
to
enforce a massive energy tax that would drive up the cost of
heating your
home by as much as 30 to 40 percent. In all likelihood,
there would be a
tax on gasoline - as high as 60 cents per gallon.
There would be consumption taxes and carbon taxes. The
Department of
Energy has estimated that electricity prices could rise 86
percent - and
gasoline prices 53 percent.
The purpose of these punitive costs is to drive up the cost
of
modern living, in order to force you to drastically change
your lifestyle.
That is the diabolical plan behind this restructuring
scheme. Cars banned.
Industry curtailed. Housing smaller. Family size controlled.
Every single product that is produced with the use of
energy would
increase in price. This includes items such as aspirin,
contact lenses, and
toothpaste.
A study by the Department of Energy's Argonne Laboratory
finds that
the treaty would cripple U.S. industries, including paper,
steel, petroleum
refining, chemical manufacturing, aluminum, and cement. That
about sums up
the economy.
Global raid on American wealth
But, perhaps you still are not convinced. Maybe you still
cling to
the idea that such drastic action is necessary - that those
pushing the
global warming agenda are truly in a panic over global
warming, and are
just trying to find a solution.
If you are one of these people, ask yourself: Why does the
Kyoto
Protocol only bind developed nations to draconian emission
levels?
Undeveloped Third World nations would be free to produce
whatever
they want. These would include China, India, Brazil, and
Mexico. Yet 82
percent of the projected emissions growth in future years
would come from
these countries.
Now ask yourself: If the Kyoto Climate Change Protocol is
all about
protecting the environment, then how come it doesn't cover
everybody?
The truth, of course, is that the treaty is really about
redistribution of the wealth. The wealth of the United
States is, and has
always been, the target. The new scheme to grab the loot is
through
environmental scare tactics.
And, international corporations, that owe allegiance to no
nation,
would bolt America, and move their factories lock, stock,
and computer chip
to those Third World countries, where they would be free to
carry on
production.
But that means the same emissions would be coming out of
the jungles
of South America, instead of Chicago. So, where is the
protection of the
environment? You see, it's not about that, is it?
Still not convinced? One more thing. Hidden in the small
print of
the treaty is a provision that calls for the "harmonizing of
patent laws."
Now, robbing a nation of its patent protection is an
interesting tactic for
protecting the environment, don't you think?
And, still more looting of the U.S. treasury is planned.
Supporters
of the Kyoto Protocol also want industrialized nations to
subsidize poor
countries' adaptation to global warming to the tune of $73
billion per
year. Obtaining such subsidies would be an interesting trick
after the U.S.
economy had been destroyed by the treaty. Looters rarely
have the ability
to think that far in advance.
Don't think this devastation can't happen. The U.N. and the
European
Union have exposed their hatred for the United States. They
envy our wealth
and think that legalized theft, rather than sound economic
policy, is the
way to obtain it.
The fact is that one person now stands between the global
warming
jackals and economic sanity: George W. Bush. Will he stand
firm in his
opposition to the Kyoto Protocol? Or, will he capitulate to
massive
international pressure and sell America's soul?

Iraq's communists join election race
by AL Jazeera (repost) Saturday, Dec. 18, 2004 at 9:11 AM
The communists, Iraq's oldest political party, have submitted
a list of
257 candidates drawn from all sectors of Iraqi society and
united under
one banner, newspapers said.
"The Union of the People list includes personalities of all
faiths and all
communities," party secretary Hamid Majid Musa told the daily
Al-Madaa,
without saying who would head the new group.
He said, however, that one of those on the list is Culture
Minister Mufid
al-Jazairi, who represents the communists in the interim
government.
Musa said negotiations to link the party with other
non-religious ones and
the Kurds in order to have a wider-based list had failed.
"Each preferred to go it alone," he said.
The communist party is the oldest political group in Iraq.
It was founded in 1930 and became one of the most powerful
parties in the
Arab world, before being progressively weakened by the former
ruling Baath
party and the advance of socialist ideology throughout the
world.
