Steve, i wish you great success in Berlin.

Can you shed some light on what the world leaders are saying
about the Global warming scam/email revelations and how they
plan on reconciling these facts with their previously held world
view?

any changes in attitudes?
or does global governance via AGW continnue apace?

"Global Warming is often called a hoax. I disagree because a
hoax has a humorous intent to puncture pomposity. In science,
such as with the Piltdown Man hoax, it was done to expose
those with fervent but blind belief. The argument that global
warming is due to humans, known as the anthropogenic global
warming theory (AGW) is a deliberate fraud. I can now make that
statement without fear of contradiction because of a remarkable
hacking of files that provided not just a smoking gun, but an
entire battery of machine guns.

"Total Control
These people controlled the global weather data used by the
IPCC through the joint Hadley and CRU and produced the
HadCRUT data. They controlled the IPCC, especially crucial
chapters and especially preparation of the Summary for
PolicyMakers (SPM). Stephen Schneider was a prime mover there
from the earliest reports to the most influential in 2001. They
also had a left wing conduit to the New York Times. The emails
between Andy Revkin and the community are very revealing and
must place his journalistic integrity in serious jeopardy. Of
course the IPCC Reports and especially the SPM Reports are the
basis for Kyoto and the Copenhagen Accord, but now we know
they are based on completely falsified and manipulated data
and science. It is no longer a suspicion. Surely this is the death
knell for the CRU, the IPCC, Kyoto and Copenhagen and the
Carbon Credits shell game.

CO2 never was a problem and all the machinations and
deceptions exposed by these files prove that it was the greatest
deception in history, but nobody is laughing. It is a very sad day
for science and especially my chosen area of climate science. As
I expected now it is all exposed I find there is no pleasure in “I
told you so.”

Welcome to my adopted hometown! You're spectacular--lighting
up the long Berlin winter night and broadcasting the buzz across
many ponds. Bravo! Thanks for the Obama time-I'm recoding the
speech--hope your comments will be available on your site tmrw.

“…And A Little Child Shall Lead Them”
28/11/09

http://avnery-news.co.il/english/index.html

THOMAS FRIEDMAN, the New York Times columnist, has an idea.
That happens to him quite often. One might almost say - too
often.
It goes like this: The US will turn its back on the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict. The entire world will follow. Everybody is fed
up with this conflict. Let the Israelis and the Palestinians sort out
their problems by themselves.
Sounds sensible. Why must the world be bothered with these
two unruly children? Let them kick each other as much as they
like. The adults should not interfere.
But in reality this is an outrageous suggestion. Because these
two children are not of equal strength. When an adult sees a 14-
year old mercilessly mistreating a 6-year old, can he just look
on?
Israel is materially a hundredfold, indeed a thousandfold,
stronger than the Palestinians. The fourth strongest army in the
world (by its own estimate) dominates the life of a helpless
people. The Israeli economy, with some of the most advanced
technologies in the world, dominates a people whose resources
are next to nil. A 42-year old occupation dominates every single
corner of occupied Palestine.

"What to listen for in Obama's speech

n_for_in_obamas_speech

Readers of this blog now that I think the war in Afghanistan is
misguided, and I am disappointed that President Obama is about
to make what I regard as a major strategic blunder. That said,
here are the 5 questions that I'll be thinking about when I listen
to his remarks this evening.

1. Why does he believe that 30,000 more troops will lead to
success in Afghanistan, given that the ratio of foreign troops
relative to the local population will still be much smaller than the
number required for successful military occupations?

2. Even staunch advocates of the war concede that our task is
"daunting," and several independent studies and reports --
including General McChrystal's own assessment -- maintain that
the United States will have to stay in Afghanistan for at least five
to ten years, at a cost of billions of dollars per year. Will the
president say this explicitly, or will he try to convince us that
these reports are wrong and that it won't take nearly that long or
cost nearly that much?"
