When I realized the newspaper was lying about the weather all faith started to fade -- and it has been downhill fast ever since.
"To answer climate skeptics, agencies will refine data" by Jim Gomez and Frank Jordans, Associated Press | February 25, 2010
Repackaging the same old lies isn't going to convince anyone of anything.
GENEVA - World weather agencies have agreed to collect more precise temperature data to improve climate change science, officials said yesterday, as UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urged environment ministers to reject efforts by skeptics to derail a global climate deal.
Yeah, never mind the temperatures outside or the facts. Sigh.
Britain’s Met Office proposed that climate scientists around the world undertake the “grand challenge’’ of measuring land surface temperatures as often as several times a day, and allow independent scrutiny of the data - a move that would go some way toward answering demands by skeptics for access to the raw figures used to predict climate change.
“This effort will ensure that the datasets are completely robust and that all methods are transparent,’’ the Met Office said. The agency added that “any such analysis does not undermine the existing independent datasets that all reflect a warming trend.’’
The proposal was approved in principle by about 150 delegates meeting under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organization this week in Antalya, Turkey. E-mails stolen from a British university and several mistakes made in a 2007 report issued by a UN-affiliated panel prompted public debate over the reliability of climate change predictions.
They were LEAKED by a CONSCIENTIOUS SOUL not stolen, MSM.
But hey, WHO is COUNTING the LIES anymore, huh?
Skeptics say scientists have secretly manipulated climate data and suppressed contrary views - allegations that have been denied by researchers and the climate change panel.
They may deny it (their denials are all okay, huh?), but it is the TRUTH!

"I mean, just because the data claimed to show the warming "Hockey Stick" got lost and the only data remaining shows no warming at all and just because Al Gore's Oscar-winning documentary was ruled by the British courts to be full of lies, and just because we are in the harshest winter since 1963 and just because we got busted rigging the computer models and placing temperature sensors next to trash incinerators and air conditioning outflows and just because we selectively shut down temperature sensors in cooler northern latitudes is really no reason at all to doubt the revealed faith of human-caused global warming!" I mean, what kind of a wacko conspiracy blogger would doubt what all these scientists are being paid to say?!?!?" -- Wake the Flock Up
I'm not even angry anymore; I'm just terribly, terribly saddened that even $cientist$ won't tell us the truth and will lie and conceal to pu$h an agenda.
More falling dominoes:
AMSTERDAM --The sharp-tongued U.N. official who shepherded troubled climate talks for nearly four years announced his resignation Thursday, leaving an uncertain path to a new treaty on global warming....
Yvo de Boer's departure takes effect five months before 193 nations reconvene in Cancun, Mexico, for another attempt to reach a worldwide legal agreement on controlling greenhouse gas emissions, blamed for the gradual heating of the Earth that scientists predict will worsen weather-related disasters.
The resignation "comes at the worst time in the climate change negotiations," said Agus Purnomo, Indonesia's special presidential assistant on climate change. "His decision will ultimately add to the difficulties we already have in reaching a successful outcome in Mexico."
Others believed the talks would move ahead unhindered, and could even be a window for shifting course.
"There's certainly no reason his resignation should slow progress," said Alden Meyer, of the Union of Concerned Scientists in Washington. "The key to progress remains with the major countries."
"A change of leadership ... provides a fresh opportunity to re-energize international negotiations ahead of the U.N. climate summit in Mexico," said Steve Howard of British-based The Climate Group....
Whenever I see globalists talking about opportunities I say stop right there.
De Boer made the announcement just two months after a disappointing summit in Copenhagen....

The MSM acts as if ClimateGate never happened, and when you realize that AmeriKa's MSM is a Zionist prism you understand a whole lot more regarding the concealment of so many things and the endless promotion of others.
WASHINGTON - Tensions between the world’s two largest emitters of greenhouse gases, the United States and China, over how to measure and report emissions has contributed to the breakdown of the international effort. The United States, which had promised to lead global climate talks, appears nowhere near passing legislation to control its own climate-altering pollution. And China, now the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, seems determined to go its own way on its own timetable.
At the same time, the scientific underpinnings of the global effort to address climate change are under attack as never before. Those who are skeptical of global warming science have been invigorated by a series of errors in the landmark 2007 report from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Yeah, newspapers can't say the word lie.
The head of that panel, Rajendra K. Pachauri, is facing criticism for those mistakes as well as accusations of conflict of interest for taking consulting fees from business interests....
Making money of the fart-mist like Al Bore?

Yup, but it is back to the same old lies in my printed paper:
WASHINGTON - Top researchers now agree that the world is likely to get stronger but fewer hurricanes because of global warming, seeming to settle a scientific debate on the subject.
Pfffft!
Yeah, WHATEVER THEY NEED to SAY to fit the facts!!
But they say there’s not enough evidence to tell whether that effect has begun.
Sigh.
Since just before Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana and Mississippi in 2005, scientists’ dueling papers have clashed about whether global warming is worsening hurricanes.
The new study seems to split the difference....
Oh, that is REAL SCIENTIFIC!!!

Another attempted deception by the MSM:
"The dislodging occurred because of the iceberg’s latest location and water that had warmed during Antarctica’s summer....
Yeah, it is SUMMER DOWN THERE so that is SUPPOSED to happen!!
--more--"
Think of it this way, readers: Remember the old refrigerators you used to have to defrost because of ice buildup? Imagine if polar ice did not melt during summer and more ice was continuously added year after year. What would you have in your icebox after a while?
Even with the summer melt polar ice packs are increasing (not that you would find a word of it in the MSM), readers, so the agenda-pushing MSM inference is misplaced in any event.
Of cour$e, you know what it i$ all about, right, reader$?
BALI, Indonesia - Countries will have to increase significantly their pledges to cut greenhouse gas emissions if there is any hope of preventing the catastrophic effects of climate change, according to a UN study released yesterday....
Bye, U.N.
Hear that flushing sound?
What was left of your credibility going down the toilet.
“Countries will have to be far more ambitious in cutting greenhouse gas emissions if the world is to effectively curb a rise in global temperature,’’ said Achim Steiner, executive director of the UN Environment Program. “We know today that inaction on climate change in the long run will be leading to catastrophic scenarios.’’

And the stench that surrounds them continues.
Scientists believe global emissions must be cut in half by midcentury to avoid the melting of glaciers and icecaps, flooding of low-lying coastal cities and islands, and worsening droughts in Africa and elsewhere.
Yeah, as if ClimateGate never happened, newspaper readers!
Steiner was on Indonesia’s resort island of Bali for a meeting of environmental officials from more than 140 countries that starts today. Among the issues they expect to tackle are the importance of biodiversity, the promotion of greener economic development, and the possibility of merging several UN environmental agencies....
Yup, the GLOBALIST PLAN CONTINUES to be advanced, readers.
Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa of Indonesia told reporters Indonesia has organized an informal meeting Friday of all environmental ministers to discuss ways of ensuring that a binding treaty on greenhouse gas cutbacks could be forged in a meeting in Cancun, Mexico, later this year.
When world governments that should know better $ell out to this thing it makes you realize none of them are worth a damn.
Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, also is to meet with environmental ministers in Bali later in the week to discuss a number of issues, including the continuing controversy over several mistakes made in a 2007 climate change report issued by his UN-affiliated panel.
Yeah, JUST ALLUDE to the LIES and LEAVE US HANGING, MSM.
The ASTUTE READER reads that and says "what mistakes" and wants to know more.
And I don't see him finding it in the AmeriKan newspapers, dear readers.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - The Obama administration has developed a five-year blueprint for rescuing the Great Lakes, a sprawling ecosystem plagued by toxic contamination, shrinking wildlife habitat, and invasive species.
The plan envisions spending more than $2.2 billion for long-awaited repairs after a century of damage to the lakes....
Yeah, we spent all our tax loot on wars and bank bonuses, 'er, bailouts.
Among the goals is a “zero tolerance policy’’ toward future invasions by foreign species, including the Asian carp, a huge, ravenous fish that has overrun portions of the Mississippi River system and is threatening to enter Lake Michigan.
Others include cleanup of the region’s most heavily polluted sites, restoring wetlands and other crucial habitat, and improving water quality in shallow areas, where runoff from cities and farms has led to unsightly algae blooms and beach closings.
Also promised is a strategy for monitoring the ecosystem’s health and holding federal agencies accountable for the plan....
Forgive me if I do not hold my breath on that one.

FLASHBACKS on the fish:
"US weighs costs of fighting invasive species" by Juliet Eilperin, Washington Post | February 1, 2010
WASHINGTON - Invasive species - long the cause of environmental hand-wringing - have been raising more unwelcome questions recently, as the expense of eliminating them is weighed against the mounting liability of leaving them be.
Which is worse? Closing two locks on a critical waterway that is used to ship millions of dollars’ worth of goods from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi basin? Or allowing a voracious Asian carp to chow down on the native fish sustaining a Midwestern fishing industry that nets $7 billion a year?
And how do you put a price tag on the damage caused by the Burmese python and other constrictor snakes that are strangling the precious ecology of the Everglades? Questions like those became more urgent last week, when a team of scientists led by the University of Notre Dame disclosed that silver carp dominating stretches of the Mississippi River and its tributaries had infiltrated Lake Michigan.
The federal government had spent $22 million on electric barriers in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal to keep carp out, but it clearly was not enough. An additional $33 million is going into the effort next year.
Yeah, let's keep doing what hasn't worked!
And isn't GLOBALIZATION GRAND?
A coalition of six Great Lakes states and the Canadian province of Ontario have sought a preliminary injunction from the Supreme Court to shut down two major locks immediately on the grounds that an Asian carp invasion would cause “irreparable harm.’’
The court declined to grant the injunction last month, but it will accept briefs soon on the broader question of whether to close them at all.
Army Corps of Engineers officials say it is too early to shut down the locks. They are focused on building a third electrical barrier to provide yet another obstacle to Asian carp infiltrating Lake Michigan.
“It’s not a silver bullet, but it’s a good tool to impede the movement of the silver and bighead carp,’’ said Colonel Vincent Quarles, commander of the Army Corps’ Chicago District.
But if it DOESN'T STOP THEM!!??
But the barriers are not surefire, and specialists say it is difficult to say how many Asian carp would have to make it through to establish a viable population.
How about 2, one male, one female?
US officials have been fighting invasive species for many years, but efforts have intensified in recent years as the impact has become clear. For instance, zebra and quagga mussels that were once restricted to the Great Lakes have moved west, clogging systems at critical dams.

And about those carp:
"Michigan sues to protect lake from carp" by Washington Post | December 28, 2009
Asian carp jumped out of the Illinois River early this month after being disturbed by sounds of watercraft. Many fear that the carp will starve native fish by gobbling up plankton. (Illinois River Biological Station via The Detroit Free Press And AP)
They going to be able to jump the electric fences, too.
WASHINGTON - The reversal of the Chicago River a century ago, to send the city’s sewage to the Mississippi River instead of into Lake Michigan, was hailed as an engineering marvel. Now Michigan is suing Illinois to potentially reverse the river again to prevent the movement of voracious, invasive Asian carp into the lake.
The suit, which is going to the Supreme Court, also challenges Chicago’s withdrawal of up to 2 billion gallons of water a day from Lake Michigan.
Environmental groups have long called for the ecological separation of the Great Lakes from the Mississippi River basin to curb the spread of invasive species and to retain Great Lakes water in the Great Lakes basin.
The Chicago River was reversed by connecting it through a system of canals to rivers whose waters flow into the Mississippi.
Since 2002, the US Army Corps of Engineers has run an electric barrier in the canal to block Asian carp. But tests by the University of Notre Dame and the Nature Conservancy in the fall found Asian carp DNA beyond the barrier near Lake Michigan, indicating that it might have failed to keep the voracious fish at bay.
If Asian carp make it into the Great Lakes, environmentalists and policy makers say, they could wipe out plankton that makes up the base of the food chain.But globalization is great.
