1. You have to see this to understand some mind sets regarding “global warming”.
2. I didn’t know trains still ran on time at the end of the world.

Here is a BBC story about NASA launching a satellite to track CO2 sources.

Jonathan Amos seems willing to hear from us as he has posted his email address at the end of the screed. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk
After all, the roughly 7.5 gigatonnes coming from all human sources may be sufficient to tip this system out of balance, warming the Earth. Not according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous Over that 80 million year period the average CO2 level was 1700 ppm, yet the global temperature was only 4 °C above modern levels.

Much better
Sunspotless days. By my count we passed 1912 for second place 3 days ago.
1912- 253 spotless days
2008- 256 spotless days. There was 241at the end of November. I already count 15 in December.
Record cold in Norcal again this morning.
Massive winter storms are stacking up to make it a snowy and wet Christmas.
Its starting to look like 1982-83 all over again, except its not an El-Nino year.
OT, but I am taking two days off to go look at some more surface stations.
Keeping the hysteria up about a hypothesis….
Right on. Note to AGW Believers, disasterizing and attempting to produce and stoke hysteria is not a component of the Scientific Method. But this is exactly what the ipcc “science” primarily aims at, at least as a tactic useful toward bringing about its hallowed Ultimate Goal, Control.
The reality is that the ipcc Method effectively involves only a gigantic Propaganda Operation, designed solely for achieving Control, and is not in any way directed toward actually helping Humanity – that is, except for the relatively insignificant numbers of “scientists”, lobbyists, NGO’s, University Profs., Politicians, Green Businesses, Goracle-like Evangelicals, etc., who use AGW simply as an opportunistic and even blatantly parasitic way to make a living.
So attn., all you noble Believers at large, meet Bait and Switch – also previously incarnated as Jimmy Swaggert and Jim and Tammy Faye Baker, for example. [RIP, Tammy]

Tsk, tsk.
Somebody mentioned Carol Browner’s name. Does anybody know that she’s a member of Socialist International?
http://www.socialistinternational.org/viewArticle.cfm?ArticleID=1845&&ModuleID=34
How in the heck could BO select her for the ‘energy czar’ job? She’s a friggin socialist. We will be so screwed if we don’t find a way to stop these eco-socialists.
This is an example of the crap that Al Gore is buying for his $300,000,000 PR campaign

“Sounds like the start of a joke;
A Polar Bear, a Chimp and a Kangaroo walked into a bar…”
… and after a few drinks they turned into the man-bear-roo…
oooh please global warming is not happening its like this video is talking about the end of the world or nuclear war but not this global warming
An interesting thing is yesterday I heard it mentioned on a national radio show the polar bear population had increased during 2007 and is still growing. The global warming advocates applied pressure to have them added to the endangered species list regardless. How else would they be able to release propaganda films such as this?
Control the media, and you control the people. Can you guess who said that Mary? Was it Gore or Goebbels ? I don’t see any skeptical points of view on Canadian television. Hmmmmmm, ……. – MonoDeniall, try posting a skeptical point of view on RC and tell me what happens. You got to post here, even though you obviously disagree completely. Hmmmmm, …..
It’s too cold because of global warming. It’s too hot because of global warming. Where forest fires have burned for ages Arnold says the California fires are now due to global warming. Can the argument against man made global warming be won?
Nothing but Climate Porn.
Perhaps this is some of what George Soros $300M of AGW Propaganda budget provided to Al Gore is buying.

Sacre bleu! That’s sure one to keep handy. The CO2 “pollutant”, etc.. – and just trying to establish my multiculti cred, don’t ya know.
Well my kid does better animation graphics that that, and the authors clearly don’t know any of those animals.
If the Polar bear was dumb enough to climb all the way up on that mountain of ice in the first place, he deserved to fall of.
The Kangaroo looked more like a Capybara; and I can’t imagine one jumping in front of the train; now it might come charging along and simply crash into the side of the train, as if it wasn’t there; well there’s plenty more where that one came from.
I liked Wile E. coyote much better when oit comes to jumping off cliffs.
And just who was that Nibelung who had to make a point of pointing our her handle to us; hey folks lookie up there; see on my head; notice what that is; its called a halo, and I’m better than you. Well honey, I was so busy looking at your boobs, I never even saw yer halo; but now that you mention it, it is even sillier. Does your mother know you are out this late?
Old iron eyes Cody wasn’t so cool; he was probably thinking about how his ancestors used to stampede a whole herd of bison off a cliff (like a rock iceberg); just to get a steak for dinner. But he did have the last laugh; who’d a thunk he was just an Italian character actor.
Well we have ourselves a whole bunch of new clowns to entertain us. When everybody you know and associate with is either a crook, or a terrorist, or an America hating racist; and suddenly you need to hire some gofers to help you change the world; well you have nobody to turn to but the same old Clinton bunch of hoodlums we already got used to.
Yep change we already got used to.
Hasse@Norway (00:38:05) :
What about all the thriving malaria moscitos, that global warming will cause??
It could have been more dramatic if the polar bear had been driven from an even smaller block of ice by a swarm of blood-sucking mutant mosquitos.
The essential message is Despair.
Despair is equivalent to Demoralisation.
If you wanted to defeat an enemy you would demoralise them first.
Who is the target of this campaign?
Who benefits from the demoralisation of people (including children)?
I would really like to know who funded the work.

extraordinary propaganda at msn
Where’s Beaker, …Kermit and Miss Piggy?
The irony of anthropomorphic animals in this video is fantastic. AGW paranoia is the perfect illustration of humans being the only species to rue our own evolutionary success and to engage in self-loathing and other forms of navel gazing.
Which leads me to this question:
Isn’t it better to be a skeptic than an omphaloskeptic?
Anthony, Is there any way to find out who paid for this and who made the film?
From the first chapter of Propaganda by Edward l. Bernays, father of Political Spin and PR, whose work was utilized by Hitler and Goebbels as well as thousands of invisibles the world over.
CHAPTER I. ORGANIZING CHAOS
THE conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society.
Our invisible governors are, in many cases, unaware of the identity of their fellow members in the inner cabinet. They govern us by their qualities of natural leadership, their ability to supply needed ideas and by their key position in the social structure. Whatever attitude one chooses to take toward this condition, it remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons—a trifling fraction of our hundred and twenty million—who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world.

The only difference is these people haven’t resorted to murder.
In an organised way – not yet, that I’m aware of – however I do expect it. It fits the model of extremism and total righteous certainty of the AGW camp.
In a disorganised way – it’s already started. Ref: http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/water-row-led-to-deadly-punch/2008/12/15/1229189489846.html
In Australia polar bear drink rum and coke! They also seem to love the warm weather up in Queensland! Kangaroos on the the other hand prefer the front of trucks and buses to the front of trains since the silly humans love to stimulate fresh grass growth on the edge of roads by cutting it all the time!
