Cap-And-Trade: Killer Of The American Dream

You and your farLeft fellow-trolls like Mead50 and ClassicDemocratLiberal2 and undoctored and 1/2 dozen other names that pop-up here, in a single thread usually, to butress the farLeft comments made by another version of their name (yep, trolls from the Left have a well documented penchant for duplicity and multiple postings to make a thread look like their personal echo chamber)... but for you to claim others are merely posting talking points is the ultimate in hypocrisy.  For you guys, it's standard operating procedure.

Is climate change real?  We thought so until last week when the UN's chief scientist responsible for coordinating the climate change scare campaign came out and postulated that reviewed evidence now suggests the solar flares on our Sun may mute or temper all of man's adverse contribution to "global warming"... uuuh-oh, time to change the tune or the dial in another station, eh AlGore?  Will a quiet sun translate into global cooling?  Who knows... but watching the activists scramble to deal with another blow to their "unimpeachable science" nonsense is a lot of fun.

The simple, inescapable truth is that all the "fixes" that far Left Democrats want to foist upon a struggling American economy involve diverting scarce resources, talent and capital from productive uses and into wildly expensive, undocumented "remedies" that carry their own enviromental hazards... like with wind turbines spoiling the Gt Lks lakeshort and driving away tourists... or ethanol production that costs more to transport --let alone produce-- than saves at the gas pump... etc.

Sorry, but like with ObamaCare, the cap & trade "fixes" will cripple the American economy and just like with ObamaCare, kill the patient (in the latest case, the economy) everyone was supposed to be saving.

Americans don't think cap & trade and carbon emissions are a priority for this Administration.  Citizens, well informed, in 11 countries whose govt is pro-Kyoto Treaty, don't think global warming is important enough to sacrafice even on small scale items like daily living patterns.

This is all about the far Left preachers pushing their far Left program up into America's ass. And just like ObamaCare, the fix is a lot worse than simply doing no harm.



The sun has a new spot, and it could signal the long-awaited beginning of the next solar cycle.

Solar flares rise and fall on an 11-year cycle, and last year marked what scientists thought was the solar minimum. But through the beginning of 2009, the sun stayed unusually quiet. That changed yesterday, when a major sunspot appeared on the backside of the sun, where it was captured by NASA’s STEREO instrument.

“This is the biggest event we’ve seen in a year or so,” said Michael Kaiser, research scientist with the heliophysics division at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. “Does this mean we’re finished with the minimum or not? It’s hard to say. This could be it. It’s got us all excited.”

People have been counting sunspots since Galileo first observed one in the early 17th century. Through the 28 cycles that have been well-documented, stretching from 1745 to today, the average cycle length has been 11 years, but shorter and longer cycles have been observed. (The polarity of solar storms also alternates, so technically, a full cycle is 22 years.)

For unknown reasons, the current solar minimum has lasted longer than normal.

“It’s been a long solar minimum, the longest and deepest one through the last hundred years, but not out of the extreme ordinary,” Kaiser said.

Sunspot activity causes magnetic storminess around Earth and is correlated with the total amount of energy we receive from the sun. That connection caused some speculation in the media about the implications of the extended solar minimum on climate change, like yesterday’s FoxNews.com article, “Quiet Sun May Trigger Global Cooling.”

If the new solar flare is indeed a sign of the resumption of the normal cycle, it should put all that to rest.

Just when the far Left thought it had won the argument, science and reality get in the way... again.  Damn that pesky Sun.

I'd spend some time explaining it to you... but the question isn't serious and your confusion is pure fakery on your part, bud.

igm, yet another farLeft troll on this site, offered this nonsense: "Global warming denial by now is laughed out of serious scientific discussions"... except of the leading scientists at NASA and the UN who now have to explain why the cycle of solar flares may be leading to a long period of global cooling and retreat from the "science" behind man-made global warming.

As if you didn't know?  Yeah, right.

And just for igm and the record, I was in DC on the Mall on the afternoon of 9/12 and there were hundreds of thousands of people there... and very little counter protest from the Obama FarLeft activists and union goons.  Even the usually pro-Obama British DailyMail said it was closer to a million.

The money quote: "As many as one million people flooded into Washington for a massive rally organised by conservatives claiming that President Obama is driving America towards socialism. The size of the crowd - by far the biggest protest since the president took office in January - shocked the White House. Demonstrators massed outside Capitol Hill after marching down Pennsylvania Avenue waving placards and chanting 'Enough, enough'."

So Frank_T, you can end your faked "confusion" and uncertainty... the science that the farLeft thought was so bloody indisputable before the recently discovered change in solar flare activity isn't so indisputable and the "few people" who showed up on 9/12 were really in the hundred of thousands and that SCARED the Obama White House royally.

So much so, he's been on almost every media outlet trying to quell the insurrection against his Reign and Rule.

Pathetic.  I agree with the other commenters on the downward slide of this blog.  Just pathetic

Then maybe you can answer this simple question, "dean2"...  Why do you keep coming here under half a dozen other names?  Isn't that the real pathetic story?

Of course, in order to answer, you'll need to remember the fake email address you used to create yet another name to post under.

And you think people here are pathetic?  Wow.  Stunningly stupid observation to make about yourself.
