Is it getting hot in here?

For the past 29 years or so, we here on earth have been told that at some point we will burn up. Yes, man would cause the earth to become a scortched desert much like the surface of Mars only much, much hotter.

Lets forget the fact that for at least a decade before 1979, children were learning in school all about the affects of Global Cooling and how mankind was to blame for it. In fact, I do remember a Dr Seuss TV special about just the subject.

In the TV special, Dr Seuss tells us a tale of the Lorax (you can see a short clip of the film here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pknssl52sh8) and how the Lorax, being very wise, was warning us of unchecked polution and destruction of the environment.

However, the Lorax was not warning us of hotter than hell days to come. He was, in fact, warning us of an ice age in which we would not be able to get out of. This was back in 1972. Why not ask a Global Warming alarmist about the days of Global Cooling. Many will deny such events but you can show them this childrens film to make your point in an entertaining way. After all, who can hate Dr. Seuss?

The point is there was a call back then to limit our choices. There was a call back then to increase our taxes to "fix" the problem. There was a call back then to force humans to revert to "simpler" times. In other words, give up your cars and most modern conveniences of the day.

To be fair, the railing against over consumption was a valid point. That point comes home to roost today in the form of our current economic problems. We have outspent ourselves. Many people have huge amounts of debt from over consuming products and services. And somehow, those who would wish to rule over us came up with the notion that all of this would lead to the destruction of earth.

Make no mistake about it, they mean to rule over you. The proof? Back around 1979 when scientist began to show that the earth was not cooling but actually heating up ever so slightly, they knew that their environmental extreemist ways were in danger. They had to come up with something to keep themselves viable int he public eye. So quietly, over time, Global Cooling became Global Warming.

Now, since the fact that the earth has actually cooled a little over the past decade or so, they are again changing their tune. Quietly Global Warming is giving way to Man Made Global Climate Change. You see this covers everything. No matter which way the earths temprature goes, they can blame it on the activity of man. They may have finally found a way to get your money and force you to give up modern conveniences that they deem to be unnessary.

But don't think for an instant that all environmentalist are on board yet. In fact you have some who try to lie and fudge the numbers to make things look worse than they are. We have people in our own government and government agencies that fall into this catagory.

NASA is lead by one of these quacks. Dr James Hansen, Mr. Al Gore's chief scientific advisore, is the head of the National Aeronotics and Space Administration's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and this guy has been on board for Global Warming for years.

There is an article; The world has never seen such freezing heat
By Christopher Booker (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2008/11/16/do1610.xml) that gives detailed information on how this guy was misleading the public on Global Warming. I am sure you have heard that October, 2008 was the warmest on record. When in fact, the proof across the globe is that it was actually one of the coldest months on record.

The lies of the left are all about one thing. Taking away your freedom and liberty. Telling you what you can drive and when you can drive. Telling you what kind of house you can live in. Telling you how you are going to raise your family and live your life. All in the name of saving the planet...which is obviously not in danger to begin with.

This Global Warming or better yet, Man Made Climate Change consortium is nothing short of Socialistic at best and Marxist at worst. This is all about power. This is all about taking the most powerful nations on the planet and reducing them to third world status simply because they do not like the USA and the West in general.

The Global Warmist think that the West uses too much of the worlds resourses and has too much compared to the rest of the world. So instead of helping nations who are poverty stricken, they try to reduce the west to the level of those third world nations by coming up with this Global Warming crap and all its incarnations.

This is nothing but a money and power grab. Hell, if the elarmist were serious about solving this crisis, then why do they block so many attempts to correct the problem such as building solar and wind farms? And why do they opperate huge sea craft and jet air craft to globe trot to spread their rot? Why do they drive SUV's on nearly every continent in order to spread their message?

It is not about saving the planet,people. It is about limiting your freedom and liberty. It is about controling your life to fit some twisted idea of what they think utopia should be.

Granted, it would be nice to have non-poluting cars on the highways of the world. It would be great to harness the wind and sun and geothermal for our energy needs. It would be fabulouse if we could power our homes and boats and planes and cars with water (hydrogen). The entire world would benefit from such things. I am all for those things. But when you have a bunch of hypcrites at the helm of this thing, you have to wonder why they are doing it.

Simply put, it is a way for them to scare the hell out of you. If they scare you enough they feel you will then willingly give up your liberty and freedom and let them run the show. How else do you think Obama got elected?

Will a Prius Free Us, or Doom Us

Here we are. The 5^th anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of Iraq. And we still have lots of liberals saying that the battle, indeed the entire war on terror is nothing more than a war to control oil. It's all about the oil they tell us over and over.

They keep telling us we need to cut our dependency on oil that comes form the Middle East and elsewhere. They won't let us explore our own country for our own oil reserves even in areas in which countries like Mexico and Brazil are exploring. Yes I am talking about the Gulf of Mexico among other places.

They have convinced many people to downsize their cars and SUV's and they have even convinced many people to buy and drive the Toyota Prius. In fact they have screamed the praises of the Prius so much that they are now calling for the government to mandate that the rest of us begin to drive these “earth saving” cars.

They, the environmentalist, tell us that the Prius is a revolution in the storied history of the automobile. They praised this car. Told us how little fuel it used and that a person could get up to 60 mpg. People began buying these cars. So many bought them that there was a back order on them for the first 2 years of their production.

This changed the course of the mighty Toyota Corporation. They changed their goals for the Prius. Toyota has said they planned to have 1 million of these hybrid cars on the worlds road within the next few years.

Now I say hold a minute. What do we really know about this car? We know it doesn't get 60 mpg. In fact what is really happening on the road to the dismay of many is the Prius is getting about 40 mpg. Not a huge difference from some larger and better gas cars. In the Toyota line up, one can spend about half the price of a Prius and get a Corolla and get a consumer reported 35 mpg.

I know that one of my cars, the Scion tC gets me an average of 32 mpg and it has a 160 horse power engine. And it cost less than 18 thousand dollars. Not bad at all. But what is the total cost of this Prius that these loud wackos want the government to force us to drive. Well according to a number of reports (and growing) this thing is far from being environmentally friendly.

Environment NC is reporting that a Prius produces 44% MORE global warming green house gases over its life than a Toyota Avalon. And if you don't know what a Toyota Avalon is, it's the biggest car from Toyota without going SUV.

The Belmont Club reported just how bad the Prius is for the environment. And they have plenty of reports and listed documents to back up their article. In fact here is an excerpt from this article:

As already noted, the Prius is partly driven by a battery which contains nickel. The nickel is mined and smelted at a plant in Sudbury, Ontario. This plant has caused so much environmental damage to the surrounding environment that NASA has used the ‘dead zone’ around the plant to test moon rovers. The area around the plant is devoid of any life for miles.

Now what do you Prius owners think? You have help create an area on our own planet that NASA uses to train for roving on the Moon and Mars. That sounds like its a huge environmental friend, doesn't it.
