Enemies of humankind and life itself

From: http://www.co2science.org/ ... yet another site on Natural Climate Change that is worth bookmarking, IMHO.

SOQ

"CO2, a tiny but essential component of the atmosphere, wields nowhere near the climatic power often ascribed to it. As presently constituted, earth's atmosphere contains only 370 parts per million (ppm) of the colorless and odorless gas we call carbon dioxide. That's just a little over three-and-a-half one-hundredth of one percent, i.e., 0.037%. Even if its concentration were tripled, carbon dioxide would still comprise only a little over a tenth of a percent of the air we breathe, which is far less than what wafted through earth's atmosphere eons ago, when the planet was a virtual garden place. Nevertheless, and as illogical as it would seem (and truly is!), a mere doubling of this minuscule amount of CO2 is perennially predicted to produce a suite of dire environmental consequences, including dangerous global warming, catastrophic sea level rise, reduced agricultural output, ravaged natural ecosystems and dramatic increases in extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods and hurricanes."

and

"In the case of the biospheric benefits of atmospheric CO2 enrichment, it is an indisputable fact that carbon dioxide is one of the basic building blocks of life, comprising the major "food" of nearly all plants on earth. With more CO2 in the air, literally thousands of experiments have proven, beyond any doubt, that plants grow bigger and better in almost every conceivable way, and they do it more efficiently, with respect to the availability of important natural resources, and more effectively, in the face of various environmental constraints. And when plants benefit, so do all of the animals that depend upon them for their sustenance, including us humans. Without question, therefore, CO2 is the elixir of life, the rock-bottom foundation of nearly all that lives on the planet, be it in the ground, in the oceans, or in the air."

EOQ

So, why would the evil greens and loonie lefts be seeking to artificially control and reduce the amounts of such a valuable substance that provably can bring so much increase and wealth of food to the planet ? The short answer is THEY HATE PEOPLE, especially people able to easily support themselves and subsist outside their control, rule, and care, and especially people who are aligned with conservative Judeo-Christian mores and moralities. They want a planet with far less people and of those who remain, they want them to be unencombered by traditional christian attitudes and views. I'm sure they will get their repeat of the bloody French revolution on a global scale before too much longer. Maybe even punctuated with a reintroduction of that famed bladed instrument for those who dare to stand in their willfully ignorant way. ;) After all, blood letting soon follows on from such people hating mentalities once their arguments are shown to be nought but lies, fraud, and hot air. Considering the typical human condition, it is only natural ... regarDS

A Kruddy Blogroll ... Oz taxdollars paying for fraud and spin ?

Aw, how cute, Krudd has a new blogroll, and no doubt a team of public servants to keep it nice and clean. Our tax dollars busy ripping us off yet again ... Here is his first entry, with the original to be found at:

http://www.pm.gov.au/PM_Connect/PMs_Blog/Climate_Change_Blog

Kevin.Rudd says... I decided to kick off my blogging career with a focus on climate change. The latest scientific research on climate change confirms our worst fears. Climate change is happening faster than we previously thought, creating a more serious threat to our economy, our environment and to future generations. I recently returned from a meeting of leaders of the world’s major developed and developing countries in Italy, where our discussions focused on our global efforts to tackle climate change. This meeting - the Major Economies Forum on Climate and Energy – made some important progress. In particular, it recognised the clear message from climate science that the increase in global average temperature must not exceed 2 degrees celsius. That means the international community is accepting the need for tough long-term targets on reducing carbon emissions. But the hardest work is still ahead. Much more needs to be done if we’re to achieve a successful global agreement on climate change in Copenhagen in December. Australia is determined to be on the front foot in global efforts to tackle climate change. We know that our nation is more exposed to the impact of climate change than perhaps any other developed economy. Without strong global and national action, climate change will permanently damage our natural environment and hit our jobs and our economy hard. The Great Barrier Reef – one of Australia’s most iconic natural wonders which generates jobs for around 60,000 people and more than $4.9 billion in tourism revenue – is particularly vulnerable to climate change.

The next step for Australia is to take strong action at home through Parliament passing the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme in August. This scheme will for the first time put a limit on Australia’s carbon pollution. By taking action at home in Australia, we can give businesses certainty and give momentum to the international negotiations that are so crucial for our national interest. It’s our responsibility to act now on climate change. That is why I urge all Senators and Members of Parliament to support this vital legislation for our nation’s future. How do you think we can make Australians more aware that we need to act on climate change now?

And here is my response to that load of lies and spin, which (for now) is an accepted comment to our Kevvy300billion's blog as at "Jul 16th, 2009 at 8:30 pm"

> "The latest scientific research on climate change confirms our worst fears." "our" is a reference to Ms Wong and yourself, yes ? After all, "the latest scientific research" is consistently and repeatably showing that the global climate change that the planet is enjoying is not only cyclic but also has virtually nothing to do with atmospheric CO2 levels let alone humanity's miniscule contribution to them. Which obviously means that the proposed ETS scheme is not only totally unfounded and pointless, but also somewhat fraudulent to say the least. Which goes a long way to explain your "worst fears". > "Climate change is happening faster than we previously thought, creating a more serious threat to our economy, our environment and to future generations." Should natural climate change manage to progress on the path of warming (sadly, it appears to have stalled in that regard) then this can overall only be good news to the planet and our economy, environment, and future generations. Especially so if atmospheric CO2 levels could in someway be TREBLED After all, current atmospheric amounts of that lifebringing CO2 are virtually at starvation levels for the planet's flora for which the rest of life depends upon. It's a pity mankind cannot actually do that much to influence atmospheric CO2 levels, but if we could, we would do better to increase it ! That being said, the real science is clearly showing that in relation to climate change, atmospheric CO2 levels lag behind global temperature changes not lead them. So, no need for any of the hysterical alarmism about natural climate change and especially no need for any kind of ETS in relation to CO2. Also, I think people need to remember that the IPCC (the InterGOVERNMENTAL Panel on Climate Change) is a political body, and science is decided by facts not consensus. It certainly wasn't scientific consensus that did decades of stomach ulcer sufferers any favours, yes ? regarDS

Yeah, I realise I am largely pissing in the wind here but if enough of us do even that, perhaps this disasterous ETS thing can be hosed off the floor along with AGW alarmism. Anyhoo, at least ONE Senator seems to have rejected AGW and is firmly onboard to stand in the way of the ETS.

From: http://www.stevefielding.com.au/climate_change/ we can see that Senator Fielding not only ACCEPTS the reality of climate change (as do I and near everyone else who are wrongly described as "deniers" ... we only deny the foolish notion of MANMADE climate change and that man can do anything either way to influence global warming or cooling) but also is calling "on the government to answer my question with a straight answer. If they’re not prepared to do so, I’m happy to fight the lone battle in the senate until those senators who are honest with themselves break party lines." See the provided link for the entire article (which details his meetings with Minister Wong, the Oz Chief Scientist, and a brief meeting with The Goracle) from his own blog, and then visit the following link to read the "Due Diligence" report prepared by scientists after Ms Wong and the Chief Scientist failed to either answer or impress.

http://www.stevefielding.com.au/images/uploads/7._Carter-Evans-Franks-Kininmonth_Due_Diligence_on_Wong-Z__.pdf If you are of typically conservative voting habits, I would also urge you to write to your local member to let them know that you will be unable to support the Coalition should Malcolm Turnbull and Co choose to side/vote with the Government in support of an ETS, and that you would rather support Climate Change Realists like Senator Fielding who are willing to ask and demand answers for the hard questions and stand in the way of a blind pursuit into folly and ruin for this country. regarDS

To the Federal Leader of the Opposition

A letter I just sent via links available here: http://www.liberal.org.au/contact/ and http://malcolmturnbull.com.au/ContactMalcolm/tabid/87/Default.aspx and http://www.dennisjensen.com.au/contact.asp and http://www.nationalswa.com/contact.aspx and http://www.aph.gov.au/house/members/memfeedback.asp?id=SJ4 (The Hon Wilson Tuckey MP's website) and no doubt more to follow. The version I sent to Dr Jensen was prefixed with:

"Dear Dr Jensen. Sorry to read what has just happened to you re: pre-selection, particularly considering your views regarding AGW Alarmism. I do hope you continue with the good fight in that regard, either with the Liberal Party or as an Independent. I submitted the following note to the Liberal Party webpage and Malcolm Turnbull's webpage this morning because I am very much concerned by the direction that the Coalition seems to be going in relation to the typical AGW alarmist position and the Rudd & Wong "ETS". Also, because of Mr Turnbull's stance and recent decisions I find that I can no longer speak of the Liberal Party in good terms while he remains its leader and in support of any kind of ETS. Letter is as follows, and thank you for your time:"

To the Federal Leader of the Opposition. In every election over the last 27 years I have voted for either the Liberal party or the Coalition, either directly or via preferences but mostly the former. I will be unable to continue this trend in the next election should the Liberal party continue in anyway to support the alarmist nonsense and fraud that is "man made climate change", CO2 being "a pollution", and any kind of "Emissions Trading Scheme" related to CO2. Instead, I will be supporting candidates who demonstrate climate change realism, which at the moment seems to only be the Family First party. Yes, the climate is changing, it has always changed, and it continues to change, and atmospheric CO2 levels always lag behind global temperature changes and not lead them ... and regardless of mankind's pitiful contributions to the same. Besides, when it comes to atmospheric CO2 levels, the planet is virtually starving for the stuff anyway, and would benefit by actually being doubled or more. Make no mistake. If the blogs and forums are anything to go by, there are a lot of longstanding typical coalition supporters out there who will be casting their votes elsewhere unless the Liberal party soon chooses to admit to the folly of AGW ("manmade global warming) and associated fraud of an ETS, and instead adopt a unified Climate Change Realist position that is contrary to the kind of disaster the ALP (let alone The Greens) are trying to inflict upon Australia. Also, don't under estimate the power of "the internut" in terms of reaching people and shaping public opinion. At the moment, it would appear that KRudd and Co are continuing to use it far more effectively that the Coalition. Personally, I think you will find that if you decisively establish policy that not only opposes the ALP's "ETS" but also rigourously demands answers to the kinds of questions Senator Fielding recently asked on the topic, and made it all very public, then the Australian Public would overwhealmingly support your party. The average voting age Ozzie can sniff out BS from 50 paces and most of us probably know by now that there is something distinctly fishy about the whole AGW Alarmist thing and that to implement an ETS would be to put the country and economy through a hiding for nothing, so with that in mind it would be quite foolish to do a "me too" to what Rudd and Wong want to inflict upon us. As a blogger and prolific forum participant I will be continuing to warn against AGW Alarmism and an ETS, and similarly will be denouncing any and all political parties who support those scams. In fact, this very letter is also about to be posted to my own blog and a highly google referenced forum, and I will also be supplying it by way of comment to the PM's new blog on the topic of climate change. I firmly believe that how your party chooses to approach the (Natural) Climate Change topic will directly affect your chances at the next election. To merely support or echo the ALP postion will render you irrelevant, but should you choose to take a stand against the Alarmist hysteria and nonsense, you could not only be returned to Government but also save Australia from ruin. Thank you for your time. regarDS (name included)

KRudd's last stand ?

I'll not pollute this blog by posting KRudd's latest round of dishonest rhetoric and sophistry. If you want to read his address to the Lowy Institute made on 6/11/09, then go here: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/the-pms-address-to-the-lowy-institute/story-e6frg6nf-1225795141519 His address makes a couple of things abundantly clear. One of them is that it is clear that he doesn't actually believe in man-made global climate change, and another is that he is quite desperate for the AGW trojan horse to deliver its planned payload, and not because he thinks it is good for the climate or the children of the world, but rather (and only) because he thinks it will be good for his political future and place in history. The fact his address is riddled with weasel words and phrases and appeals to (unquantified) authority (i.e. "genuine body of evidence") that are typical of those who want to be seen as being in honest support of something they don't actually believe the word of, and who do not wish to tell a direct lie, show that he is really only giving convenient lip-service and that he doesn't actually think for a moment that our children and childrens children are under any threat by mankinds pitiful contributions of CO2 to the atmosphere ... and doesn't he just luuurv the convience "precautionary principle" offers in that regard, too ! Thus, he shows himself to be almost as much a fraud as the ETS he and Wong have cooked up to betray and ruin the country with. His obvious desperation to see the AGW trojan horse be brought through the city gates before Copenhagen, is delicious. To build on the gambling theme he chose to repeatedly use in his address, I think he knows everyone knows he's holding a dud hand and is bluffing, but he has put so much of himself into the pot that he might as well see it through, because to abandon his play now would be to lose absolutely, whereas while he continues with the obvious bluff, some miracle may still save him. A man of great blindness of faith and twisty-turniness of character is our Kevin "to infinity billions and beyond" big spender ... As this whole thing comes unstuck and the knowledge of the truth continues to grow and spread throughout this nation and the world as to how complicit in utter fraud some of our elected have become in relation to building nation destroying sovereignty robbing policies (and accompanying taxes and laws) around the AGW environmentalist religion, I wonder if we are going to see a repeat of the Oz Governer General vs Gough, and USofA "watergate" type thing. Hmmmm, no, prolly not. Our current GG is too into herself to ever do what is required in relation to dismissing a PM and government that has betrayed its country and should no longer be in office, and I suspect that the USofA would still be more inclined to make it easy for some nutter with a gun to take care of such business than do the whole impeach thing again. Actually, speaking of nutters with guns, I couldn't really see the Obamanation delivering the kind of address our desperate "the sky is falling, but I can save you" KRudd just gave. Well, at least not on USofA soil ... they shoot at the very table those who seek to cheat and defraud, don't they ? In closing, I'll quote the tiniest bit more of KRudd's sickening address. He mentioned a certain collection of names quite a few times (even Lord Monckton's ... but our Kevvy didn't say anything about the absolutely disgusting draft treaty the UN are pushing. The little Judas probably helped put the draft together anyway ...)

Malcolm, Barnaby, Andrew, Janet – stop gambling with our future. You’ve got to know when to fold ‘em – and for the skeptics, that time has come. The Government I lead will act. - Kevin Rudd, 6/11/09

Ooooh, I wonder what new laws our desperate little weasel of a PM is busy cooking up to see the likes of Andrew Bolt and Janet Albrechtsen silenced ? Re-education camps where "arbeit macht frei" ? I don't reckon MSM is going to be in much support of Kevvy for much longer. Interesting recent news is that Rupert Murdoch reckons KRudd "is delusional". You can read about that here: http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,26316630-2,00.html

"If Rudd thinks we can set an example for the rest of the world with a cap-and-trade system on greenhouse gas emissions - the ETS - all it would do is push up the cost of living in Australia and the rest of the world will laugh," - Rupert Murdoch 07/11/09

How's that for a fair shake of the sauce bottle in the fullness of time, Kev ? You'll be needing that job in the UN by the time all this is over, coz no one is going to want you in Oz. Anyway, you should fit in well over at the UN. They aren't all that big on "due diligence" either. regarDS

Climategate - All your emails are belong to us !

Want to know more ? Put "climategate" or "cru emails" or "climate change fraud" into your favorite search engine. "bing" at http://www.bing.com will return nearly over FOUR times the results that "google" does ... and with less bias towards the side of Climate Change Alarmism ! The short of it all is that thanks to a whistleblower who released 1000s of emails and documents into the internut, CRU (Climate Research Unit) scientists who have had the ear of the IPCC have been caught out colluding in quite the criminal manner in order to help promote the lie of Anthropogenic Global Warming in order to no doubt protect their public funding and reputations. More to follow ... but in the mean time, I'll let the moving pictures do the talking. regarDS

January so long ago ...

Despite what the blog date claims (I've backdated it exactly a month to Oz day), it is actually very nearly March 2010. Dunno where the last couple of months got to but rather than launch into some inane waffle, here are some newtubes of some of the outdoor activities and travels that have helped make 2010 fly by so far. Okay, perhaps a little waffle before the tubes ... Not long into January, LSCP (for those who came in late, that's "Life Style Choices Partner" ... so chosen because I'm not allowed to say her name on the internut in blogland), and I embarked upon a coastal trip from Perth to Dunsborough, Margaret River, Walpole, Albany, a week in Esperance, then cut back diagonally to Perth again via Hyden/Wave Rock. Along the way we did a couple of scuba dives on the HMAS Swan (in about 25m or so of water off Dunsborough), and a couple of dives on the HMAS Perth (in about 30m or so of water off Albany). If you're interested in what that might have been like then search those names on youtube as plenty of other folk have filmed their below water experience at those wreck locations. Okay, first up is a wander around the Tree Tops walking near Walpole: Next up is a bit of this and that filmed from around Albany: And you knew I wouldn't be able to get through a blog post without having yet another sneer and poke at the AGW environmentalist religion, so here tis ... a newtube rant on location in Esperance at one of those all but useless ugly noisy white-elephant "wind farm" thingos: But here is a far more prettier side to Esperance. A beach drive to the Cape Le Grand National Park: I might get around to including a newtube of our Hyden/Wave rock visit another time, but for now I'll finish up with some footage taken of the 2010 Oz day we spent on the Swan River: So there was but a tiny glimpse into my January ... and it all seems so long ago now. :( regarDS

For Whom the Tolls Bell ?

"Today I ..." wanna post a view on the latest bureaucratic rent-seeking being suggested for the once fair CBD of Pert.

They wanna put a toll on car access.

(sigh)

Aside from a crap road system as it is (shouldn't a riverside road follow the river all the way in both directions ? shouldn't a coast road actually follow the coast all the way ?), the city is basically already DEAD compared to how it used to be back in the late 1970s early 1980s.

Back then, the city was the Place To Be near every night and especially on Thursday nights.

Rather than lifeless malls we had things called ROADS and PARKING SPACES where everyone would cruise in on/in their hotted up cars and motorbikes and park all in a row. The first bikers in on the evening would reserve half a dozen bays and before long there would be 30 or more motobikes backed in against the curb and angle parked.

There were people everywhere doing a strange thing called TALKING with each other. Lasses would be displaying/modeling their latest clothing purchases to leather and denim clad blokes and everyone would turn to watch the latest polished chromed and crimson red painted V8 hotrod to burble past in one of endless "bog laps".

There were Hari-Krishnas to harass as they gave out vegan books with weird art-worked covers and Potter's House God Botherers to troll, uh, argue with as they frothed in your face about hell. There was a smell of a couple of dozen different food places in the air and the sound of buskers and laughter.

The city was alive and useful.

Then the bureaucrats got in with their endless and ever expensive to administer "regulation".

The city died.

People like me eventually just gave up on the place ... and these days we are all far more inclined to plug into the world of skyrim or halo or an ipod.

Pert needs LESS regulation and MORE reasons to actually go to it.

Trying to make people pay to drive into the city is neither of those things.

It is just more bureaucrat cholesterol slowly choking the heart to death.

And what a healthy, vibrant, and beautiful heart it USED to be. ... but no more.

Still, Pert-ites, do yourselves a favour and get yourselves up to Kings park one early evening.  While you are still somewhat easily and freely able to, that is.

It is kinda a shadow of how things used to be in the city centre once upon a time. IE, there are just people walking around doing nothing in particular.

Just Being.

Kinda like how it used to be once upon a time in the actual city before they took away Murray Street and made it a soul-less mall.

Oh, and has it really been over a year since my last post ?

Wow. My how time flies when ya having fun.

So, until around the same time next year ...

Happy Birthday Guy Fawkes.

"Today I ..." would just like to publicly convey my thanks to one and all, both seen and unseen, near and afar, living and passed on, who has ever had anything to do with my life and times and the long and winding path that has amazingly seen me reach the utterly unexpected age of 48.

You all know who you are and regardless of individual levels of input/care/love and all that, I couldn't have done it without yas, so Cheers !

As for Mr Fawkes, well here is hoping that something explosively big (though not the kind of explosive that Mr Fawkes endorsed) happens soon and Oz is at last rid of the sad joke that is our current PM and her wedded-to-the-Nazi-Greens utterly inept and wastrel minority political party, along with her abominable and ridiculous tax on life bringing CO2 that she is trying to inflict upon us all as part of her Fabian Socialist agenda.

Today would be a good day for such a hope to come true. 

Pretty please ?
