The One Sided Debate Over the Weather

It's amazing how certain weather phenomenon seem to automatically "prove" Anthropogenic Global Warming, yet the counter-occurrence of those weather conditions are of no interests to the climate fascist lobby. Every year since the record hurricane season of 2005 the liberals have been predicting impending doom from the Atlantic hurricanes as a result of global warming (or climate change, as they now conveniently say). Max Mayfield, who was the director of the National Hurricane Center and is widely regarded as the hero of the 2005 season (for his accurate predictions), was forced to step down in 2006 after he expressed doubt about the permanent presence of active hurricane seasons. Well, as it turns out, the past five years have been uneventful, while several of them have been completely docile. After predicting dire devastation from this year's semi active season, there was virtually no major disruption as a result of hurricanes. So, does this prove global cooling?

Here is another case in point. When several major US cities set record high temperatures over the summer, the eco-socialists were out peddling their myth of global warming like never before. Now that Polish scientists are predicting the coldest winter in Europe in over one thousand years, nobody is talking about global cooling. Hey, if it is really true that industrialization permanently changes the weather, then they better start cranking out that productivity in Europe before the onset of the winter! Then again, they already shut down so much energy production due to global warming that when we experience a period of cooling, many who can't afford the high cost of eco-socialism will be left to shiver.

Update:  Drudge is now reporting an article that claims that California greenies lied about state pollution levels to pass their cap and trade laws.

Mike Castle is the Only Republican Senate Candidate Still Supporting Climate Fascism

I usually don't plug left wing websites, but this blog post from Think Progress is phenomenal.  It details the statements of all Republican Senate candidates as it relates to Anthropogenic Global Warming.  They note that all of the candidates are at least skeptical of AGW except..... you guessed it, Mike Castle.  Here is what Castle writes on his congressional website:

Believing that we must act now to mitigate the impact of global warming pollution, Rep. Castle supports U.S. participation in international agreements and a cap-and-trade program based on the best available science, which will deliver the kind of reform business and industry need to grow the economy, stabilize the climate, and create more diverse and secure sources of energy.  Since 2004, Rep. Castle has supported the Climate Stewardship Act.  Rep. Castle believes we can achieve 15-20% reductions in global warming pollution by 2020 and reductions on the order of 80% by 2050.

Christine O'Donnell signed the Contract from America which pledges to oppose any climate tax. The choice tomorrow is clear.

J.B. Jennings for State Senate

We continue our coverage of local races, as we focus on the race for Maryland’s 7^th district Senate seat.

Conservative star Andy Harris has vacated the 7^th district Senate seat to run for Congress against Congressman Frank Kratovil.  Harris was a conservative warrior who fought the socialist, pro-criminal and illegal alien agenda at every turn.  While he will make us proud as the next conservative Congressman from Maryland, he will leave an obvious vacuum of leadership in Annapolis.  This is why it is so essential to fill his seat with a likeminded passionate conservative.  Not only must we augment the Senate Republican Caucus by five seats in order to break the Democrats’ stranglehold on Annapolis, we must fill the existing seats with authentic conservatives.  This district, which covers parts of Harford and eastern Baltimore counties, is a conservative oasis and must be represented by a dynamic conservative.  This is why we support J.B. Jennings to continue the great work of Andy Harris in the 7^th district.

J.B. Jennings has lived a life that would make the founding fathers proud.  Unlike the majority of the power brokers in Annapolis, who conduct their lives like typical limousine liberals, Jennings has lived a true American life.  He worked hard as a youngster manning his family farm.  He later co-managed his own milling business and now runs a ranching farm in Jappa.  J.B. has been a volunteer firefighter for 16 years for the Jacksonville VFC.  In 2002, at a very young age, Jennings was elected to the House of Delegates, and was appointed deputy minority whip shortly thereafter.  He continued to work his farm and serve as a firefighter every year he was in office.  In the summer of 2008, well into his second term in Annapolis, and approaching the age of 35, Jennings decided to enlist in the Maryland Air National Guard.  Jennings pledged to serve only two terms in the House and is now vacating the seat to run for Senate.  Jennings is a true citizen legislator and public servant.

Wisconsin Senate: Ron Johnson Opposes Climate Fascism

Conservative Republican Ron Johnson, who is running to unseat Senator Feingold in Wisconsin, has come out against the global warming agenda this week. In an exclusive interview with the Milwaukee Sun Sentinel, Johnson articulated an uncompromising rejection of the theory of Anthropogenic Global Warming, and all of the man-made economic disasters that its promoters have promulgated. Unlike most Republicans who offer meek opposition to the tidal wave of radical environmentalism, Johnson assailed the very premises of the cap and trade, climate change peddlers. Johnson pointed out that during the Middle Ages there was a huge warming trend despite the absence of nefarious SUV's and plastic bags. Therefore, it is much more plausible that this ancient cyclical climate trend is caused by natural phenomenon such as sun spots. We have written extensively about this in previous posts. Ron Johnson fired with both barrels as he asserted:

"I absolutely do not believe in the science of man-caused climate change… It's not proven by any stretch of the imagination."

Johnson went on to scoff at any human efforts to control the climate, calling it a "fool’s errand". Last month, he had the guts to call the AGW theory "lunacy", drawing much disdain from the left wing media.

As conservatives, we must understand that one of the most severe threats to our prosperity, freedom, and standard of living, emanates from the climate fascists. The draconian legislative and administrative agenda of the anti-growth, eco-Marxists has destroyed many industries and inhibited our free market. They have also successfully restricted our vital sources of domestic energy such as oil exploration and refineries, coal, and nuclear power. Most importantly, the weather lobby has proposed the most intrusive restrictions on our daily lives, from the products we buy to the individual choices we make. Radical environmentalism in general and climate fascism in particular, are among the most regressive components of the "progressive" movement. This is why it is so vital that we elect pro-growth conservatives to the Senate who will categorically reject the global warming agenda.

Most Republicans will espouse conservative views on other economic issues such as taxation and spending, at least in public. However, when it comes to opposing the tyranny of the weather lobby, most Republicans lose their conviction. They rarely have the courage to categorically refute the highly politicized science of Anthropogenic Global Warming, and often vote for many of the regressive and tyrannical policies that accompany such beliefs. They continuously vote to subsidize the "green energy" boondoggle as well as the ethanol scheme. On the other hand, they are lackluster at best in their support for more oil and shale exploration, construction of oil refineries, and nuclear power. In fact, there have been many articles in the liberal media mocking Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) as the only holdout against global warming and the last flat-earther.

Next January, James Inhofe will have another ally in newly elected Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin. Ron Johnson is running an unapologetic campaign for increased energy exploration and production and will oppose the environmentalist threat to our liberty. You might call him a true progressive. The amazing thing is that he has never held any public office prior to the campaign, yet he is polling slightly ahead of an entrenched incumbent. He also is providing the rare unifying fusion of tea party activists and Republican establishment operatives, as he is supported by Jim DeMint, the Club for Growth, and the NRSC. We must defeat Russ Feingold, who is the author of the Incumbency Protection Law (a.k.a. Campaign Finance Reform), and elect Ron Johnson.

Update: Politico has framed this story as if it's a novel idea that there are people who question the religion of global warming in a post climate-gate era. They also provide a comprehensive list of Republican Senatorial and Gubernatorial candidates who are on record as being skeptical of AGW. The candidates include Ken Buck, Rand Paul, Sharon Angle, Carly Fiorina, Pat Toomey, Dino Rossi, Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, Susana Martinez, and Charlie Baker.
