"Greenland's Ice Armageddon Comes To An End

One of the catastrophic results of global warming always cited by climate change alarmists is the melting of the ice sheets covering Greenland. Some even speculated that global warming had pushed Greenland past a “tipping point” into a scary new regime of wildly heightened ice loss and rapidly rising in sea levels. Now, from the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union, comes word that Greenland's Ice Armageddon has been called off.

Breaking News: Plants Love Greenhouse Gas

In a recent study at the University of Illinois they just discovered something that I learned in 6th grade, that plants love CO2. In fact they can't get enough of it, they need it to survive and grow. The more CO2 there is the more they convert it into Oxygen for us to breath. It's a beautiful symbiotic relationship between man and plants called Photosynthesis.

Nevertheless, I get THIS SHIT in my Sunday paper.

"Obama creates better climate for environmental treaty" by Elisabeth Rosenthal, New York Times | March 1, 2009

NEW YORK - .... The world's most powerful nations might come together to tackle global warming....

A new treaty - to be signed in Copenhagen in December - will significantly differ from the agreement of a decade ago, reaching beyond gas emissions and including financial mechanisms and making good on longstanding promises to provide money and technical assistance to help developing countries cope with climate change....

Yup, the CARBON CAPS leading to the CARBON TAX leading to the TAX BY MILE!!!! WAKE the FUCK UP, America, and SMELL the FART MIST!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week the United Nations' top climate official, Yvo de Boer, will make the rounds in Washington to discuss climate issues. Teams from Britain and Denmark have visited the White House to discuss climate issues. In China, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton made climate a central focus of her visit and proposed a partnership between the United States and China. But a global treaty still faces serious challenges in Washington and abroad, and the negotiations will be a test of how far the United States and other nations are prepared to go to address climate change when economies around the world are unspooling. The global recession is expected to result in a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as manufacturing and other polluting industries shrink, lessening the pressure on countries to take action.

So the RECESSION is a GOOD THING, huh?

"The number one thing will be for everyone to see that the US is on an urgent and transformational path to a low-carbon economy," said John Ashton, the British foreign secretary's representative for climate change. The Obama administration has said that it will push through federal legislation this year to curb carbon dioxide emissions in the United States....

I assume the AIR FORCE ONE FLIGHTS are OUT then, right? No?

Then FUCK YOU, you AGENDA-PUSHING FRAUDS!!!!!

Meanwhile, BRIEFLY!!!!!


"Big avalanche kills 3 snowmobilers"

"Forecast: March to come in like a lion

A northeaster headed up the coast is expected to drop 6 or more inches of snow on most of southern New England, starting this evening, forecasters said. Boston is expected to see about 6 inches of snow by 7 p.m. tomorrow. Some areas in the interior could get as much as a foot, according to the National Weather Service, which issued a winter storm watch for the entire state, except for Nantucket. Forecasters predicted treacherous conditions for drivers during tomorrow's commute. --more--"

But, but, but, but, but.... IT'S SPRING!!!!


"Hot dog! This takes a bite out of winter; It's opening weekend at Southie foodstand" by Billy Baker, Globe Correspondent | March 1, 2009

Three-year-old Brennah Hynes (left), of South Boston, and her sister Millie, 2, enjoyed their hot dogs yesterday outside Sullivan's.

Now THAT'S a NICE HEALTHY SNACK for our kids, huh?

MAKE UP YOUR MIND, Globe!! You in the hot dog-promoting business or the healthful diet because our kids are obese class? And are those SODAS they are drinking?

Anne Cleary has a hot dog policy, and she's very strict about it. Each year, she eats just one hot dog, and always at her sister's Fourth of July cookout. But this is not a typical year, she said.

The weather and the economy have been so miserable for so long that yesterday morning when she woke up in her West Quincy home, she decided she was going to break that policy for a 75-cent taste of spring.

Meanwhile, a SNOWSTORM is BARRELING DOWN on us!!!

Yup, SPRING is TWO WEEKS AWAY, but here the Globe is PROMOTING the AGENDA AGAIN with a FRONT of the SECTION shit piece!!!!

Cleary was one of hundreds who joined in what has become one of the earliest, and most beloved, spring rites in the city - the opening day of Sullivan's at Castle Island in South Boston.

Sully's, a hot dog and burger shack that has been a Southie institution since 1951, has a decades-old tradition of offering its signature "snap dogs" (named for the sound they make when you bit into them) for half price on opening weekend. This year, Brendan Sullivan, the third-generation owner of "Sully's," is extending that until Tuesday - with the economy and spirits so low, he thinks that, this year, a 75-cent hot dog is more than just a hot dog.

One look at the people queuing up in front of Sully's yesterday made it hard to argue with that.

At 1 p.m., more than a 150 people stood outside, in a line that stretched across the plaza and into the parking lot, where it made a left and snaked around the car where Cleary and her husband were safe and warm with their hot dogs.

"I couldn't help myself," Cleary said as she looked down at her half-eaten frankfurter. She did not look very guilty.

Why should she feel guilty, Globe? You elite shits pigger down as much as is your wont.

The sun was shining, but the cool ocean breeze was brisk enough to keep hats on and hoods up.

But it is almost spring!!!

"It's worth it," Jennifer Flynn, a 30-year-old Southie resident and opening day regular, said as she zipped up her coat and took her place at the end of the line. "I need a glimmer of spring."

**************************

As the line grew and grew and the hot dog orders kept piling up, Brendan Sullivan did something unthinkable. Sullivan's is famous for long lines that move fast, but they were overwhelmed and, just for a few minutes, Sullivan had to stop taking orders.

"It's only 40 degrees out there," Sullivan said as he gestured toward the queue.

Yeah, but it's SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


"But the sun is out and people want to get out of the house. And they want their hot dogs."

They don't know what hot dogs are made of, do they?
