Obama criticizes ‘fat-cat’ bankers for giving out bonuses. 

He neglects to mention the increase in government bonuses and salaries in these hard times.

It’s always a good idea to follow the money.  Basically, thanks to government funding, we created a bunch of climate whores.

An astonishing demonstration of creative robotics.

First off, I am not even going to try and explain the headline.  Read the Darwin Zero report from Willis Eschenbach at the informativeWatts Up With That site by Anthony Watts.  You’ll either get it or you won’t.  That’s part of the problem with liberals, they are too lazy to do the research, they trust their opinions and the opinions of friends, and ignore anything that contradicts them.  

Want to be right?  Read the link.  It won’t take all that long, and this is important. 

The following graph is the smoking gun, showing just how artificially the Climategate crowd has been altering the raw data to make it fit.  The black line jumping every 20 years was averaged into raw data to turn a temperature decline into an increase.

Even before Climategate, there was more than enough information available for a curious person to satisfy their self that global warming, if any, was not man made and certainly not caused by CO2. 

In other words, Climategate is only simplifying the fraud down to a level where even the MSM can understand it.  Which may force the ones that value what little reputation they have left to do a little actual research and reporting.

The rest of us, the smart ones, had already looked into the the issues such as C02 lagging behind warming periods (or here), the lack of automobiles during the Medieval Warming Period, and the failure of climate models to include either fluctuations in solar output or the effect of clouds (or here). 

Basically, for quite some time, you had to be a fool to believe in AGW.  To still believe, you need to admit it’s a religion, not science.

So I see Harry Reid is finally acknowledging the historical racism of Democrats.  Ok, maybe that wasn’t exactly what he said. But, frankly, it would have been a more historically accurate.  Perhaps Reid is feeling the heat?

From the American Thinker come an in-depth exploration of the Climategate fraud, the lies used to push the idea of man-made global, as well as the tools and techniques used by the CRU and Michael Mann to “hide the decline”. 

On a related note, once again Americans need to turn to the British media to find information that the MSM has deemed unsuitable for the unwashed masses, as Climategate reveals “the most influential tree in the world.”

To really understand the global warming scam, you have to understand the religious zealotry driving its proponents.  To them, the problem isn’t that the world might get warmer, or colder.  Instead, the issue is simply the U.S.  Us. Americans. Western Civilization.  The problem is we consume too much.  In fact, if you don’t stop using your refrigerator and your air conditioning, we’re all going to die. 

That is not my hyperbole, that is from the chair of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), who claims that the western lifestyle is “unsustainable.”  If we continue to live as we do, civilization will collapse. 

Calling our lifestyle unsustainable is a religious belief, not a scientific one.  With that kind of righteousness driving the debate on global warming, it is no wonder that so many scientists felt obligated to fake their data.

I’ve been saying for years that I thought Global Warming was bunk, especially Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW), more commonly known as man-made Global Worming.  I also said that 2009 would be the last year AGW was seriously considered as an issue facing this nation.  As the year draws to a close, the AGW theory has finally collapsed upon itself, unable to support the weight of all of the false data used to prop it up over the past 25 years.

It is time to face the awful truth.  People we trusted to advise us on science lied to us in order to make more money.  People we trusted to guide us in policy decisions lied to us in order to gain more power and get reelected.

Polar bears are not endangered, the oceans are not rising, the earth is not growing warmer, and man is not killing the planet.
