McCain's recent comments in an interview with Katie Couric were right on the money. Obama and many democrats never cared about our troops or winning the war against terrorism half as much as they care about their political ambitions. True public servants.

Voinovich Right On!
In a state (Ohio) that suffers from an abundance of democrats, it is nice to hear a Republican voice speak out. Senator George Voinovich used the term 'ridiculous' to refer to Gore's recent energy speech. It is almost behond belief that anyone can take Al Gore seriously. This is not the first time Voinovich has spoken out with common sense on energy and global warming. I guess Voinovich, unlike many in Congress, is starting to get it!
Gore says that the U.S. should end our dependence on carbon based fuels within the next 10 years. What better way to weaken our economy while the rest of the world continues to thrive on petroleum fuel.
Al Gore is in it for the money. His company is banking on the carbon credit nonsense to make a truckload of money, and he'll tear down his country to do it.
If Gore is serious about reducing petroleum dependence, he should first acknowledge that other forms of energy need to be proven successful first. Nuclear energy has been proven, so that is likely where we would need to expand first. Wind and solar are supplemental sources of energy that can help in some applications.
Always vote against the likes of Al Gore - he does not have the best interest of our country at heart.

Global Warming Solution?
Once they grasped the imminent danger facing the global community, U.S. decision-makers had no choice but to act quickly, and so they did. Petroleum-based fuels are possibly the largest source of man-made carbon so it was only logical to reduce gasoline consumption. The solution proposed was to start blending ethanol (produced from corn) with gasoline. This has been going on long enough now that we can access the impact of this program.
Since the big push to use ethanol/gasoline blends:
Gasoline prices have continued to rise.
Food prices have risen significantly. Initially it was foods directly related to corn or corn syrup, but now the price increases are obvious in almost all food types.
Farmers are intending to use more of their land for corn (and less for other grains like wheat and oats) because the prices of corn are so high.
Around the world, available food supplies have become more scarce and prices have gone up significantly.
Riots over food supply and cost in places like Somalia have resulted in injury and death of people.
Scientists have determined that if you correctly analyze the carbon footprint of raising and processing corn, that there is little if any reduction in carbon emissions compared to petroleum production.
This should be a wake-up call to the decision-makers that they have to consider all factors when developing such a strategy. It is not acceptable to upset so many applecarts and then have no environmental benefit to show for it. There will not be one perfect solution. Rather many, many trade-offs will need to be considered.

A Silent Gathering of 500?
Talk radio host Glenn Beck recently interviewed John Coleman, the man who started the Weather Channel. John Coleman is one of many scientists who say it is high time to speak out against Al Gore's global warming alarmism.
This week there has been a convention of scientists meeting in New York. Approximately 500 scientists are in attendance and a number of them are well known and highly respected. Regardless of where you live, whether New Zealand, China, England or New York, it is almost certain that you have not heard about this convention. Why would it be such a secret, especially since the meetings are held within a few blocks of the major TV network channels?
The reason for the silence is that these scientists are not in step with the politically correct view of global warming. Their ideas clash with the intent of the media and are thus ignored.
John Coleman is hopeful that it is not too late for the truth to have an impact on people's thinking. He has questioned if there is financial fraud associated with carbon credits. Think of an infomercial where they are working hard to sell something to you in any way they can. They show you a product and then a few actors wrap it up in enthusiastic praise. Finally, you cave-in and order - only to be disappointed later when you see the product is not all they said it would be.
In the same way, if you pay me for carbon credits, I can take the money and tell you that I will do something to reduce global warming. Was your money well spent? You will never know. Cautious shoppers will bear in mind: there is significant doubt as to whether man can impact global climate change, for man's contribution of carbon may not be the issue. Since we are talking about a global issue you might also consider that China's outpouring of greenhouse gases will by far outdo any good your money will bring about. Never you mind, though. I will take your money and praise your global activism. If the government takes the money, you will have even less chance of seeing a benefit.
John Coleman is looking for a group of lawyers to consider if this is financial fraud. The atmosphere of a courtroom would be effective for clearing the air and getting to the truth.

Observations on Global Warming
Climate Change?
Recently I came across this collection of observations on a blog. Based on other reading, I believe this is generally true. The author was not specified so I cannot give credit.
"Global warming is a sham and is nothing more than a political cause to change the world as we know it. The Arctic Ice cap is reforming. The Antarctic Ice cap is at record depth. Solar activity has slowed and we are experiencing near record freezes in many parts of the world. Planetary temperatures worldwide have been decreasing the last 5 years. Here in San Diego, the average temperature for the entire year was a full1 1 degree colder than 2006."
Take time and opportunity to pull away from the mind-engulfing alarmism that the media is pumping out and see what is really going on!

The Fraud of Global Warming
Those are strong words! John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel (1982) shared that concept at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change on March 3 in New York. John Coleman is highly critical of global warming alarmism and says that the Weather Channel has become an outlet for it. One example is from December 2006 when Heidi Cullen (an employee) argued on her blog that,
"weathercasters who had doubts about human influence on global warming should be punished with decertification by the American Meteorological Society."
He also indicated a strategy for gaining control of this problem: He advocated suing those who sell carbon credits, and that would include Al Gore. (article here)
At the same conference, Lord Christopher Monckton, a policy adviser to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher stated that science will eventually prevail and the 'scare' of global warming will go away.
I leave you with two comments: The statement from Ms. Cullen is not surprising at all. The liberal left in the U.S. seldom have any interest in debating facts. Their approach is consistently emotion and outrage and then whatever it takes to squelch the expression of any opposing views.
Secondly, I applaud John Coleman. It is always refreshing to see a man more concerned about truth than political correctness. This must be a great encouragement for the many climatologist who know that global warming is a scam, but are afraid to speak up. Way to go, John Coleman!

Global Warming Caution
Surging through our country at the beginning of 2007 is a passion to solve the global warming problem. The fact that President Bush has not consented to go along with the Kyoto Protocol, has been the only reason most Democrats have needed to make this a priority issue.
In lieu of activity by the Federal government, there is now a tidal wave of global warming initiatives being started by various state governments, environmental groups and even corporations. Are they on the right path? Will they be able to stop the global warming in time?
The unexpected question is: In their delusion, do they care about global warming, or is it the political posturing, the power, the opportunity for more government control, the marketing and the money that constitute the prize? The news that is harder to find is that their are still plenty of people who do not by into this idea that man is causing global warming.
An ABC TV meteorologist, James Spann, does not believe that global warming is a result of human activity. He notes that "billions of dollars of grant money is flowing into the pockets of those on the man-made global warming bandwagon." If you know anything about our country, you know the money alone would be evidence enough to push global warming.
Consider this quote from Spann, "I have been in operational meteorology since 1978, and I know dozens and dozens of broadcast meteorologists all over the country. ...I do not know of a single TV meteorologist who buys into the man-made global warming hype. I know there are a few out there, but I can't find them."
To me that is an amazing statement. Consider a long time TV meteorologist, in the midst of liberal TV media, not buying the prevailing liberal view on global warming. It causes me to think.
