POPSArizona Looks to Outlaw Global Warming Legislation With many scientists who are not on the US Governments payrole, either directly or through affiliated organisations, supporting this it is just common sense. The evidence is obvious for those who care to look. It is refreshing to see people taking a stand against something they know to be wrong.

POPSAlthough Ignored By the Media-- Palin's Accomplishments Were Extensive
We also slowed the rate of government growth, we worked with the Legislature to save billions of dollars for the future, and I made no lobbyist friends with my hundreds of millions of dollars in budget vetoes... but living beyond our means today is irresponsible for tomorrow. We took government out of the dairy business and put it back into private-sector hands - where it should be. We provided unprecedented support for education initiatives, and with the right leadership, finally filled long-vacant public safety positions. We built a sub-Cabinet on Climate Change and took heat from Outside special interests for our biologically-sound wildlife management for abundance. We broke ground on the new prison. And we made common sense conservative choices to eliminate personal luxuries like the jet, the chef, the junkets... the entourage. And the Lt. Governor and I said "no" to our pay raises. So much success in this first term - and with this success I am proud to take credit...

POPSMan-Made Disaster (c) Auctioning of assigned amounts or emission allowances at the international and/or domestic level; ( More taxes ) (d) A uniform global levy on CO2 emissions, with exemption for LDCs; ( More taxes ) (e) Levies on emissions from international aviation and maritime transport; (More taxes) (f) A tax on air travel; ( More taxes ) (g) A share of proceeds from market-based mechanisms under the Kyoto Protocol. ( More taxes ) (h) A global levy on international monetary transactions. ( More taxes ) Gee, I detect pattern. Well, that should help pay off the country-killing deficit caused by the Obama Depression Budget. Investors Business Daily calls the EPA's finding -- that carbon dioxide is toxic, and therefore should be regulated -- "Man-Made Disaster" http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=330822830678035

POPSChristian LEFT Mounts Aggressive Political Campagains The wut? Does the name Jeremiah Wright sound familiar? His sermons say exactly what other Leftists say, over and over again. Mr. Wright just does it with real, raw hatred, and every new slam is cheered on by his jubilant congregation. His is not a lone voice. He just sings the music to fit the words. "Emboldened by what they see as a kindred spirit in the White House, liberal Christians are stepping up their political activism in a big way."

POPSReport Shows Greater Peril for World's Threatened Animals and Plants The newest report also includes assessments of 845 species of corals. Already more than a quarter are considered threatened, with climate change added to the list of threats they face. Still, IUCN cautions that the health of marine life could be worse than expected, as relatively little is known about biodiversity in the oceans. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIJHaQ8EGn0

POPSTropical Rainfall Moving North "We're talking about the most prominent rainfall feature on the planet, one that many people depend on as the source of their freshwater because there is no groundwater to speak of where they live," said Julian Sachs, associate professor of oceanography at the University of Washington and lead author of the paper. "In addition many other people who live in the tropics but farther afield from the Pacific could be affected because this band of rain shapes atmospheric circulation patterns throughout the world."

POPS10 Outrageous Claims 1) "The idea of human induced global climate change is one of the greatest hoaxes perpetrated out of the scientific community. It is a hoax… We need to be good stewards of our environment, but this is not it, it’s a hoax!" – Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA)

POPSEarth Treason Eight years later, it’s starting to look like they aren’t anymore. Think about it. Now Krugman’s tossing around the word “treason.” Sounds scary at first, a little cavalier, even dangerous. Sounds like radical left-wing hate speech. It made me worried, because the Department of Homeland Security warned against extremist political hate speech . . . Let’s be real. Krugman is an august Nobel laureate, not some frothing populist wackjob. And it isn’t like total nutcases read the New York Times. DHS was very specific about the threat. It’s from radical right-wing extremists. You don’t have to worry about the left-wing kind. With that kind of weight behind the anti-planet betrayal movement, I’m convinced. I’ve turned the corner. I’m ready to go “green,” but I’m not really interested in pussyfooting around. When someone like Krugman starts using the “T” word, that can only mean it’s time for radical action. No, I don’t mean targeted hits on Earth-hating Republicans or truck bombs

POPS"Obama's EPA Ignores Inconvenient Truths" "You are a pollutant, and Obama is paving the way for the international carbon tax, an excuse regulated by the global EPA, also called the UN, to remand American wealth back to the world, from which Obama believes it was unfairly taken. 'Global warming' conveniently became 'global climate change' and so in short order Obama’s 'hope and change' will become 'change without hope.'”

POPSStimulus FAIL, Chapter 723 Gee, I'm not real good at math, but if we omit the loans not under investigation, the Hope for Homeowners program is therefore responsible for... uhm... precisely one revised loan. Well done, bureaucrats! On to health care and climate change! Oh, and after all of the bad publicity, President Obama recently decided to revise the program. I emailed in a suggestion that they call it Change the Hope for Homeowners program, but haven't received a reply yet.

POPS Carbongate Little evidence? Outdated U.N. research? No reason to rush? This is not what the Obama administration and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi were telling us when they were rushing to force a Friday vote on Waxman-Markey. We were given the impression that unless we passed this cap-and-tax fiasco, polar bears would be extinct by the Fourth of July. "A new 2009 paper by Scafetta and West," the report says, "suggests that the IPCC used faulty solar data in dismissing the direct effect of solar variability on global temperatures. Their report suggests that solar variability could account for up to 68% of the increase in Earth's global temperatures." The report was the product of Alan Carlin, senior operations research analyst at the EPA's National Center for Environmental Economics (NCEE). He's been with the EPA for 38 years but now has been taken off all climate-related work. Thomas Fuller, environmental policy blogger with the San Francisco Examiner, wrote Thursday in a story developed

POPSYou've Just Crossed Over Into The Twilight Zone!
The United States Congress cemented the inevitability of collapse of the American coal industry with their passage of this supposed "energy bill." The prophesy is proven. Barack Obama does intend to bankrupt the American coal industry. They have given themselves over to the loyalty of Marxist idealism as opposed to the people who elected them and now, we will all must suffer the consequences of failing in our diligence to insure that they looked out for our better interests. America was already on life support, with a staggering economy and monthly job losses literally crushing the breath out of every gasp and attempt made by the economy to catch its breath. “We passed transformational legislation which takes us into the future,” Pelosi said at a press conference following the vote, after she and other leaders took congratulatory phone calls from Obama, former Vice President Al Gore and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0609/24232.html
