Louisiana Flood of 2016 and the Yangtze River Flood of 1931 Not Caused by Climate Change

Photo: Wikipedia

The severe flooding in Louisiana, the result of torrential rain and the location of Baton Rouge 56 ft. above sea level, contributed to the destruction of 40,000 homes. More than 30,000 people and 1,000 pets had to be rescued.

The New York Times  published a story immediately, “Flooding in the South Looks a Lot Like Climate Change,” blaming the flood on the global warming hoax created by the very profitable climate change industry.

Al Gore said, “These kinds of record downpours – that’s one of the manifestations of the climate crisis.”  The community of Watson had a record 31.39 inches of rain during the downpour. http://fuelfix.com/blog/2016/08/16/al-gore-houston-louisiana-floods-exacerbated-by-climate-change/

Nicolas Loris points to two studies by climatologists Patrick Michaels and Paul Knappenberger that seem to contradict Al Gore and the New York Times. In the Daily Signal, Loris quoted Chip Knappenberger, “Lower Louisiana is a climatologically prime location for massive precipitation amounts.”  http://dailysignal.com/2016/08/17/the-facts-show-louisianas-floods-not-caused-by-man-made-climate-change/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTWpkbU1tVmtZekZqT1RkaiIsInQiOiJPUysySWxTWEgxN082M1lORWV1UjZVcGRCRW9PTFZuUWlHUVlSazhqTEhwZE1pTUliNnRxMzFhaWpPSTNLMWNIWnNwc29BaDd1cnpyQm1HNjNrM2VtK0xFSXNFYmRIWGhaT1J4b1ZcL09sN0k9In0%3D

Patrick Michael’s and Chip Knappenberger’s paper reported, ”Our findings indicate that the climate variability of both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans can exert a large control on the precipitation frequency and magnitude over the contiguous USA.” http://www.cato.org/blog/you-ought-have-look-natural-climate-variability

In a second paper, by a research team at NOAA/GFDL, Karin van der Wiel et al, who analyzed “climate model projections and observed trends in heavy precipitation events across the United States,” wrote, “Finally, the observed record and historical model experiments were used to investigate changes in the recent past. In part because of large intrinsic variability, no evidence was found for changes in extreme precipitation attributable to climate change in the available observed record.” http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/JCLI-D-16-0307.1

Iman Malakpour and Gabrielle Villarini, researchers at the University of Iowa, wrote about their study,  Analysis of changes in the magnitude, frequency, and seasonality of heavy precipitation over the contiguous USA, that “over the last 65 years, the stronger storms are not getting stronger, but a larger number of heavy precipitation events have been observed. The annual maximum precipitation and annual frequency of heavy precipitation reveal a marked seasonality over the contiguous USA.” http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00704-016-1881-z

Knappenberger mentioned the NOAA study of June 1978 when the main stream media focused then on the next ice age and global cooling, not global warming.  The 100-page document described the various levels of tropical storm precipitation, moisture, and rainfall around the country. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/oh/hdsc/PMP_documents/HMR51.pdf

Even the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported, “In summary, there continues to be a lack of evidence and thus low confidence regarding the sign of trend in the magnitude and/or frequency of floods on a global scale.” http://www.climatechange2013.org/images/report/WG1AR5_Chapter02_FINAL.pdf

But before Al Gore’s global warming movie and the profitable global climate change industry, there was the flood of August 18, 1931, when the Yangtze River peaked and killed 3.7 million people “directly and indirectly over the next several months,” as reported by the History Channel in 2009.

In April 1931 China the rainfall was above average. Torrential rains in July exacerbated the previous conditions and the Yangtze River flooded a 500-square mile area. Waters continued to rise in August as more rain fell and flooded the rice fields, destroying the crop. The population of the adjoining cities who depended on the rice crop starved to death or died from typhoid and dysentery from the polluted river, “perhaps the worst natural disaster of the 20^th century.”

This Chinese region is densely populated and thus people depend on the Yangtze River for water for personal and farming needs. Millions died from starvation and disease simply because flood-control measures were not enforced.  The Yangtze River “carries large amount of sediment, which accumulates in certain areas of the river and must be cleared regularly, However, with much of the area’s resources devoted to civil war at the time, the river was neglected.” http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/yangtze-river-peaks-in-china

The facts that natural disasters occur for reasons other than global warming, such as oceanic currents and underwater volcanic eruptions, are inconvenient details for the environmental/green growth agenda.

 

 

 

 

De-Nationalize and Globalize at the Expense of Working Families in America

I have described in my book, “Liberty on Life Support,” the American economy and the country in general as a comatose patient.  There was even a widely circulating cartoon on social media picturing Uncle Sam on a hospital gurney, attached to life support, barely clinging to life. At first glance it may seem a gross exaggeration until you actually look at the national debt clock, understand the true state of the economy, the condition of the socialist and collectivist education driven by Common Core, and the political power and corruption.

It seems that fundamental changes are occurring around the globe, driving countries to de-nationalize, to destroy their sovereignty, and to globalize under the guidance of the same U.N. elites who know what is best for an “overpopulated planet” that is going to be destroyed by a manufactured global warming Armageddon.

If we accept the financial terms dictated by the trillion-dollar climate change industry, too vested into its own financial gain to care about the inhabitants whose lives and futures are expendable to the whims of the few billionaires, we might be spared our doomsday fate by allowing ourselves to be literally taxed to death. Money always solves problems for bureaucrats; why not tame Mother Nature with taxed money as well?

Our country is a sick patient who is being experimented upon by transnational groups that are intravenously administering “transfusion” therapies that are not in the best interest of the patient. It is an experiment that is supposed to prepare the patient for integration into the global master plan.

These transfusions seem to be quite toxic to the sick patient, especially when the treatment is administered against the will of the people. Once the patient is infused with so much globalism, the arteries are left wide open and the patient is likely to die, unable to defend himself from the onslaught of foreign body invasions.  At such a point, nationalism will disappear, sovereignty will be gone, and the strange idea of global citizenship will become mandatory.

Alienating people from their national roots, from their identity, culture, language, and history, will certainly endanger their safety and survival. This transfusion of globalism is likely to change the patient from a solid nationalist grounded in history into a Frankenstein-ish metamorphosis that will remove the patient’s spine.

The fundamental transformation around the globe is not going to leave any country unscathed or unaffected. The master plan is composed of many treaties, public-private partnerships, committees, organizations, and other foundations for the “public good.” Unfortunately, the good public had no input into its own plans, and was never invited at the planning table.

Here are some developments that have already occurred, fully advanced and propagandized by the main stream media:

-          The institution of family has been discouraged and derided; fertility rates have dropped precipitously among the civilized world.

-          Large groups of people have left their countries for economic reasons or were displaced by war and tribal rivalries.

-          Increasing health issues due to poor nutrition or poisoning of the food supply with unnecessary toxic substances used as “preservatives.”

-          The dumbing-down of education, glorifying mediocrity and bad behavior, excusing violence, deriding honor, love, kindness, patriotism, respect, sacrifice, diluting and destroying the work ethic, and erasing history, culture, and ancestors of note.

-          Destruction of the societal cohesion united under one nation and one God.

-          The excessive and massive spending that put many countries into huge and unpayable national debts, affecting the future of generations to come.

-          The damage to Christianity and the Church through its transformation into a political body that advocates collectivism and social justice.

-          The destruction of traditional capitalism and private property and replacement with crony capitalism.

-          Corruption and harm to the rule of law.

-          Promotion and advocacy of atheism, pornography, and deviant life styles as the forced norm.

-          Endorsing abortion, the sale of body parts, and trafficking of human organs and of sex slaves.

-          Societal reorganization around the climate change industry under a master plan called Agenda 2030.

-          Giving up sovereignty to an international body such as the United Nation, or to a transnational entity like the European Union, or to a partnership such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

Presidential candidate Donald Trump talked about China and the bad trade deals that Congress has made with foreign countries to the detriment of our nation. It flew by the ears of most people unless they were directly involved or victims of such bad trade deals like NAFTA.

On November 5, 2015, our government released the full 6,000-page document of Trans-Pacific Partnership or TPP, a proposed 12-nation trade deal which is skimpy on trade and large on giving away our manufacturing sector to the third world. https://ustr.gov/trade-agreements/free-trade-agreements/trans-pacific-partnership/tpp-full-text

Seeking to establish one huge market, similar to the failed EU, TPP proposes to eliminate tariffs and other barriers to goods and services, trade, and investment, production and supply chains among TPP members, creating jobs in places other than U.S., raising the third world’s living standards by transfer of wealth, and increase welfare in third world nations. The tariff schedule includes “all goods,” about “11,000 tariff lines” and “all service sectors.”

Investments will be made via TPP in digital economy, green technology, commercial relations, and capacity building assistance in needy countries (more wealth transfer from the U.S.). Little or no customs control will release goods immediately. Cross-border services will be supplied electronically. Digital E-commerce, environment, and custom duties are also addressed.

Under environment heading, marine fisheries, conservation issues, biodiversity, invasive alien species, climate change, and environmental goods and services are discussed. This document seems more about every facet of the economy and much less about trade.

Financial services, government procurement, intellectual property, investment, labor, legal issues, rules of origin, technical barriers to trade, telecommunications, temporary entry, textiles and apparel, and trade remedies are included in this huge document.

If Congress has not read the 2,700-page Affordable Care Act before passing it in secret, in the dead of night, they certainly will not read this monstrous 6,000-page TPP proposed trade bill. Immediately, Bernie Sanders office wrote that the bill was “worse than I thought.”

"This trade deal would make it easier for corporations to shut down more factories in the U.S. and ship more jobs to Vietnam and Malaysia where workers are paid pennies an hour. The TPP is a continuation of our disastrous trade policies that have devastated manufacturing cities and towns all over this country from Newton, Iowa, to Cleveland, Ohio. We need to rebuild the disappearing middle class, not tear it down.”

"The TPP would allow foreign corporations to sue federal, state and local governments in an international tribunal for passing an increase in the minimum wage or any other law that could hurt expected future profits.

"The agreement would threaten American laws that protect the safety of the drugs we take, the seafood we feed our families and the toys our kids play with every day.

"At a time when prescription drug prices are skyrocketing, the TPP would make a bad situation even worse by granting new monopoly rights to big pharmaceutical companies to deny access to lower cost generic drugs to millions of people.

"Outrageously, the proposed agreement includes violators of international human rights, like Brunei, where gays and single mothers can be stoned to death and Malaysia where tens of thousands of immigrant workers in the electronics industry are working as modern day slaves.” http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/bad-trade-deal-worse-than-i-thought-sanders-says

I found myself agreeing with the socialist Bernie Sanders that a trade deal should benefit our country, our working families, not CEOs of multi-national corporations looking for cheap labor, low corporate taxation, and no burdensome rules and regulations.

According to A. J. Cameron, “free trade is euphemism for moving jobs out of the U.S. with the intention of destroying the U.S. economy, in order to bring us into the One World Government fold. NAFTA and GATT were just warm-ups for TPP.” The concept of free trade is just a ruse to facilitate the redistribution of jobs to other countries. The U.S. loses because “free trade stifles employment and wage growth,” forcing more Americans to depend on government for daily subsistence. Cameron believes that “the corporate tax rate is artificially high to provide cover for globalists to offshore operations and jobs. They have created a problem and designed a solution that only profits them.”

Corporatist globalists win all around because of lower wages and job redistribution overseas where regulations and anti-pollution measures are lax or non-existent which allows them to pollute away. This flies in the face of their so-called concern for the environment and for green growth much touted business model.

China is not part of this “treaty” they call “partnership.” But there is a provision for a non-member nation to request membership into this “slush fund” for the corporatist elites.

Whether this profound crisis across the globe will motivate citizens to save the comatose patient called USA remains to be seen. The experimental global change to de-nationalize, to devolve us into multi-nation “partnerships” in the name of free trade, and the fundamental transformation of western societies will have deep and long-lasting consequences for generations to come.

 

The Climate Change Industry and the Religion of Green

We are so lucky that Al Gore’s “true planetary emergency” did not take place. He predicted it ten years ago at the Sundance Film Festival where his documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth,” premiered.  It was the result of an environmental crusade he embarked upon that would make him a billionaire, a Nobel Prize and a Golden Globe winner  – “Educating the masses that global warming is about to toast our ecology and our way of life.” http://www.cbsnews.com/news/2006-al-gore-does-sundance

His dire predictions that the planet will be flooded, islands will be swallowed up by the melting of the glaciers, and the planet will roast did not happen.  The surface temperatures have increased in some areas thanks to El Nino, a natural event, not because of anthropogenic CO2, the gas of plant life. 

Dr. John Christy, Director of the Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama Huntsville, is quoted:  http://whatssupwiththat.com/2015/12/19/uah-un-climate-change-goal-new-trend-analysis-shows-were-there-now/

“The fastest warming place on Earth over the past 37 years has been in the Arctic Ocean north of the Svalbard archipelago, where temperatures have been rising 0.5 C (about 0.9 degrees F) per decade. The fastest cooling spot was over the eastern Antarctic near Dome C. Temperatures there have been falling at the rate of 0.41 C (about 0.74 degrees F) per decade.”

According to Dr. Roy Spencer, the global-average warmth during El Nino is caused by the solar energy but also by the vertical circulation of the Pacific Ocean basin.  http://drroyspencer.com/2016/01/what-causes-el-nino-warmth/

“The short answer is that, during El Nino, there is an average decrease in the vertical overturning and mixing of cold, deep ocean waters with solar-heated warm surface waters. The result is that the surface waters become warmer than average, and deeper waters become colder than average. The opposite occurs during La Nina.”

Non-scientists confuse weather events with climate and base their decision to support the anthropogenic global warming theory now termed climate change on “consensus science” which would be a derisive designation if the stakes were not so expensive for humanity. Consensus means agreement of opinion; science is based on fact, not opinion. Data seem to contradict supporters of the climate change industry but it does not slow down their rabid assault on civilization. Real scientists, labeled deniers and skeptics, are marginalized, ridiculed, fired, and even made subjects of inquiries resembling witch hunts.

Cashing in billions and trillions on weather and on climate that has been changing for millennia, on fear of planetary Armageddon, is just one aspect of the nefarious Agenda 21, a document signed in 1992 by 178 countries, including the United States, whose linchpin is Sustainable Development, controlling almost every aspect of business activity and human existence, now expanded into Agenda 2030, as some dubbed it “Agenda 21 on steroids.”

The fact, that Congress has not ratified the 40-chapter document, has not stopped every administration since to implement Agenda 21 through non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who received grants from the federal government and then distributed those funds around the country to entice them to accept and implement Agenda 21 at the state and local levels.

Destroying capitalism and rearranging life in accordance with the dreams of elitist one world bureaucrats, rewilding the planet and reintroducing grey wolves, high-rise mixed- use buildings with tiny apartment living, population control, replacement of cars with light rail and biking, elimination of suburbia and of private property is truly the plan behind Agenda 21. Its environmentalist “useful idiots” supporters have not bothered to read the ample document released under the aegis of United Nations.

I wrote about the transformation of U.N.’s Agenda 21 into Agenda 2030 and explained the core goals of this lengthy document. http://canadafreepress.com/article/75315

Man has not been responsible for climate change over the millennia; the Vostok ice core samples have proven that; nor was man responsible for the Little Ice Age in the Middle Ages that had caused famine and death due to shortened food growing seasons and freezing temperatures that even affected Napoleon’s unprepared army in Russia. http://cdiac.ornl.gov/trends/co2/vostok.html
 

John Kerry told the crowd at COP21 conference in Paris that global warming is junk science yet they are still going to fleece us with the fake climate change industry fees and taxes.

“The fact is that even if every single American citizen biked to work, carpooled to school, used only solar panels out of their homes, if we each planted a dozen trees, if we somehow eliminated all of our domestic greenhouse gas emissions, guess what, that still wouldn’t be enough to offset the carbon pollution coming from the rest of the world.  If all the industrial nations went down to zero emissions, it wouldn’t be enough. Not when more than 65 percent of the world’s pollution comes from the developing world.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAtiygrbTSg
 

As the planet did not cooperate to deliver the global warming they had hoped for, the radical environmentalists renamed it climate change – and it is a very profitable industry of renewables, carbon swaps, solar panels, biofuels, and wind turbines.

Even though the billionaire father of the global new world order Agenda 21, now renamed Agenda 2030, the Canadian Maurice Strong, passed away on November 27, 2015, there are important supporters who have picked up the fleecing torch of “climatism,” a potential cash cow worth trillions of dollars.  

In 1976 Maurice Strong was the head of the newly created Petro-Canada, advised the gas industry, and made billions in oil and carbon trade-offs. He was alleged to have been a member of the Board of Directors of the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange, “the world’s first and North America’s only legally binding greenhouse gas emissions registry reduction system for emission sources and offset projects in North America and Brazil.”

Fox News called Maurice Strong the “godfather of the environmental movement,” the founding director of the U.N. Environment Program (UNEP) in Nairobi.  It is interesting that China was the place where the “self-declared, life-long socialist” chose to live for a while and die, in “one of the world’s biggest producers of industrial pollution, [which] has been profiting from the trading of carbon emission credits – thanks to heavily politicized U.N.-backed environmental deals engineered by Strong in the 1990s.” http://www.foxnews.com/story/2007/02/08/at-united-nations-curious-career-maurice-strong.html

The whole agenda pushed by the U.N. hurts the interests of the American people. Congressman Mike Rogers (R-AL) has introduced a bill to restore U.S. sovereignty and withdraw U.S. from the U.N., a corrupt organization dubbed the “dictators club.” The bill, titled The American Sovereignty and Restoration Act of 2015 (H.R. 1205), faces an uphill battle as Congress seems unwilling to make and pass laws that represent the interests of the American people. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/114/hr1205/text

In Siskiyou County, the fifth largest county by land mass in California, on the Oregon border, ranching has kept the area unspoiled but the environmentalists have decided to reintroduce the grey wolf, endangering 45,000 people and the ranchers’ herds of cattle grazing freely on the land. The city residents believe that the introduction of “majestic predators howling in some distant corner of their state” is romantic. Nobody really understands that rewilding at the expense of humans  is one of the goals of Agenda 21. http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/environment/article51700790.html

Andrea Hutchinson transformed herself from a housewife and mother to agricultural activist in Canton, Oklahoma, where her family homesteaded in Dewey County in 1893, after hearing many horror stories of farmers fighting to keep their farms, property rights, and their land under the assault of “visioning committees,” environmentalist NGOs, and U.N. Agenda 21’s ICLEI operatives who have infiltrated boards of supervisors and zoning boards across the country.  She wants her family to be able to continue the ranching tradition.  The stories she heard ranged from “drones, abuse of the EPA, to threats of Endangered Species destroying livelihoods.”  http://www.hpj.com/archives/concern-over-agenda-turn-cattlewoman-into-agricultural-activist/article_ca963ae3-5227-5f17-821c-4acaa37472e0.html?mode=jqm

In a period of natural drought, Save the American River Association advocated that “retiring and curbing water rights for 300,000 acres of contaminated land farmed in the San Joaquin Valley would cost approximately $1 billion” in compensation to farmers, “a reasonable price to pay to stop the poisoning of California’s environment” and it “would free up 455,000 acre-feet of water annually.” Would this “contaminated land” in San Joaquin Valley, asked Katy Grimes, be the 600 farms along I-5 that produce $1 billion worth of food each year? These are not unsustainable crops, retiring them is a war on agriculture, on our ability to feed Americans. http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/california-forum/article52319970.html

It is interesting that the water “rationers” are considering such drastic measures when, according to California officials, wet weather added 6.4 billion gallons of fresh water to Lake Tahoe (2 inches) and new snow is at “136 percent of normal levels.” The snowpack was measured in Sierra Nevada at 54 inches. http://www.capoliticalreview.com/top-stories/ca-snowpack-136-of-normal-how-will-water-rationers-spin-that/?utm_source=CAPoliticalReview.com&utm_campaign=2909021a1f-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b855a22bd3-2909021a1f-302742409

Destroying farms and taking as many out of production as possible, endangering food production and survival, would help achieve another goal of Agenda 21 – depopulation. We seem to have exceeded the planet’s “carrying capacity.” Christiana Figueres, the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, said in 2015 that the entire global warming hoax was designed in order to destroy capitalism. “Really, we should make every effort to change those numbers [population] because we are already, today, exceeding the planet’s planetary carrying capacity,” Figueres claimed.  This is an outrageous statement, particularly when we look at the low fertility rates in the developed world, way below replacement values. http://www.jewsnews.co.il/2015/04/27/un-official-we-should-make-every-effort-to-depopulate-the-planet-2/

Once suburbia is destroyed and the land given back to wilderness, the population will be moved into high-rise, mixed-use micro apartments, stacked and packed, ranging from 150-360 square feet, mostly smaller than the average hotel room. It is like sticking people into closets. Promoting living in Mega Cities, Christiana Figueres praised the high-rise living because renters can grow their food on terraces, collect rainwater on the roof, and get their electricity from solar panels on balconies/roofs. What can possibly go wrong with such an unsustainable scenario? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seDpS2QEoNw

Speaking at the anti-COP21 climate summit in Paris, Dr. Istvan Marko, professor at Universite Catholique de Louvain in Belgium and co-author of The Bankruptcy of Climatism,  said, “All conclusions being reached by the IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] are actually flawed conclusions.” The dogma of “climatism” is perpetuated in spite of ample evidence to the contrary because governmental research grants come with strings attached to this fake religion of anthropogenic global warming.

Marko said, “It is almost like a religion, you know, you have the original sin, the original sin is carbon dioxide, and the one who committed it is the human being. So we all have to repent.”

In his speech at the summit, “The Nostradamuses of Climate Change and Their Erroneous Prophecies,” Dr. Marko repeated what all thinking humans already know, CO2 is the gas of plant life and our oxygen. “The worst thing that can happen is decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.” Greenhouses add more CO2 in the air because their plants thrive on carbon dioxide.

Thanks to CO2, “there is a greening around the world.” According to Dr. Randall Donohue, findings of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) in collaboration with the Australian National University (ANU) revealed that during 1982-2010 an eleven percent increase in “CO2 fertilization” has increased the foliage in arid areas of Australia, North America, the Middle East, and Africa. http://phys.org/news/2013-07-greening-co2.html

All this “climatism” is not about saving the planet, “It’s the slow erosion of your own individual liberty, that’s what is at stake with COP21.” He stated that for half the annual cost of the Kyoto Protocol ($150 billion), people in the third world could have running water, electricity, food, and education. http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/22232-at-anti-un-climate-summit-scientist-slams-alarmist-religion

Would it not be better to solve real problems instead of chasing problems that do not exist, creating a profitable climate change industry while enabling the U.N. bureaucrats to live a lavish lifestyle, jet-setting around the world to promote their hoax?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pope Francis and Climatism

National Geographic published a fascinating article on his Holiness, Pope Francis. Robert Draper and Dave Yoder, who gained unprecedented access to the pope, wrote about and photographed the pope extensively.

The Conclave chose the former Argentinian, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, and “vaulted him from relative obscurity into the papacy.  To many observers – some delighted, other discomfited – the new pope already had changed seemingly everything, seemingly overnight.”  http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2015/08/vatican/draper-text

One of the images of archbishop Bergoglio, an Argentinian born of Italian parents, was showing the archbishop kneeling on stage in front of “men of lesser status.” The picture was published by Cabildo, a conservative Catholic journal, with the caption “apostata.”

Self-described as a “callejero,” the Jesuit priest frequently visited the ghetto and rode the subway, a “wanderer” in search of lost souls. He was made bishop in 1992 and cardinal in 2001.

Massimo Franco, a Roman author, explained his meteoric rise. “His election arose from a trauma – from the sudden (and for nearly six centuries, unprecedented) resignation of the sitting pope, Benedict XVI, and from the mounting sentiment among more progressive cardinals that the hoary and Eurocentric mind-set of the Holy See was rotting the Catholic Church from within.”

The beautiful Catholic Churches in Europe are rather empty of parishioners on most days; they are fabulous museums where tourists admire the icons, the tombs of the famous statesmen and former popes, statues, and reliquaries with a sense of reverence, admiration, appreciation, and awe. Occasionally some tourists do pray.

Robert Draper reported that Pope Francis does not wear a bulletproof vest because, Francis told his friend, Norberto Saracco, “The Lord has put me here. He’ll have to look out for me.”

Highly independent, Pope Francis accompanied a friend to the elevator at the end of a visit so that, he joked, … I can be sure you don’t take anything with you.” Regarding his independent spirit, Robert Draper quoted the Vatican spokesman, “In a sense, this is positive, because in the past there were criticisms that someone had too much power over the pope. They cannot say this is the case now.”

Changes in the Vatican happen with any new pope. But Ramiro de la Serna, Franciscan priest from Buenos Aires said, “I believe we haven’t yet seen the real changes. And I also believe we haven’t seen the real resistance yet either.”

Uncomfortable with the Swiss Guards following him everywhere for his own safety, Draper writes that the pope has eventually “resigned to their near-constant presence.” Bemoaning the fact that he cannot walk the streets of Rome like he used to walk in the streets of Buenos Aires, he feels “penned in.”

Pope Francis admits that he never follows his impulses because “the first answer that comes to me is usually wrong,” he said.

People have criticized the pope for embracing an imam, Omar Abboud, after praying with him and the rabbi Skorka at the Western Wall.

Graciously, Pope Francis gives sage advice to engaged couples. “The perfect family doesn’t exist, nor is there a perfect husband or a perfect wife, and let’s not talk about the perfect mother-in-law! It’s just us sinners.” In response to a question about gay priests, Draper reported that the pope had said, “Who am I to judge?”

The pope seems to be shaking Vatican and revolutionize the world. Draper believes that “This would appear to be the pope’s mission: to ignite a revolution inside the Vatican and beyond its walls, without overturning a host of long-held precepts.” He quotes la Serna, the pope’s Argentinian friend, “He won’t change doctrine. What he will do is return the church to its true doctrine – the one it has forgotten, the one that puts man back in the center. By putting the suffering of man, and his relationship with God, back in the center, these harsh attitudes toward homosexuality, divorce, and other things will start to change.”

His climate change encyclical and the invitation to address the U.S. Congress in the fall are evidence that he is hugely successful. He has inserted himself into the global warming debacle now turned into a veritable industry of climate change, a wealth redistribution scheme to combat poverty around the globe, and an attempt to control every facet of our lives through environmentalism, led by the United Nations with its many organizations staffed by third world bureaucrats and developed world socialists/Marxists.

In late July 2015, sixty environmentally-friendly mayors from cities like Boston, Boulder, New York City, San Francisco, Oslo, Stockholm, New Orleans, Birmingham (Alabama), Vancouver, Libreville (Gabon), Siquirres (Costa Rica), and Kochi (India) met for a two-day conference in Vatican City to pledge to the pope to reduce global warming and to help the urban poor deal with the onslaught of global warming which seems to affect them disproportionately while the rest of “the working class” are experiencing cooler temperatures due to seasonal changes.

These mayors belong to the Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance and have committed themselves to reducing CO2 emissions by “at least 80 percent by 2050.” Gov. Jerry Brown of California is the leader, having “enacted the toughest greenhouse gas emission standards in North America.”

At the conclusion of the two-day conference, mayors were also asked to sign a declaration against slavery and human trafficking.

Mayor Gregor Robertson of Vancouver signed the declaration  that states “human-induced climate change is a scientific reality and its effective control is a moral imperative for humanity.” So the “climatism” rhetoric has changed now from “consensus science is settled” to “human imperative.”

Mayor William Bell of Birmingham, Alabama, discussed segregation as he experienced it, a “close-cousin to slavery,” he said. He was elated to follow the pope’s call to end all forms of modern-day slavery.

Oslo’s mayor Stian Berger Rosland was cheered by his colleagues when he announced that he was “the first Catholic mayor of Oslo since the Reformation.”

Monica Fein of Argentina’s Mercociudades (Network of cities in Latin America) stated her goal, “We want sustainable development, without excluding the extremely poor” and “We fundamentally want to leave our children and future generations with a planet that isn’t contaminated.”

Madrid’s leftist mayor, Manuela Carmena, stated that sexual slavery occurs in the world because “society has not been educated enough about sexuality” and prostitution exists. The mayors heard the testimony of two Mexican women who were victims of modern-day slavery.

San Francisco mayor, Edwin Lee, pledged to “completely phase out the use of petroleum diesel” in its city’s vehicle fleet and replace them with renewable diesel by the end of 2015.

The New Orleans mayor, Mitch Landrieu, warned about environmental degradation, citing the case of New Orleans and its Hurricane Katrina disaster in 2005, including the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. His city supplies one-quarter of all the seafood produced in the U.S. and more oil and gas to the U.S. than Saudi Arabia. “But that economic benefit comes at a cost,” he said.

Mayor Chammany of Kochi talked about the Indian caste system, “one of the worst forms of slavery known to man.”

Mayor of Stockholm stated that the 2015 Paris conference must “exclude fossil fuels as an option and just focus on long-term sustainable energy sources.” Mayor Karin Wanngaard proudly announced that 75 percent of her city’s public transportation runs on renewable energy. Her goal is to make Stockholm fossil-fuel free by 2040.

The mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio, promised to reduce New York City’s emissions 40 percent by 2030.

Jerry Brown, the governor of California had very harsh words for climate skeptics – they are “seeking to falsify the scientific record” in the process of trying to “bamboozle” the public with their propaganda, putting “troglodytes” in office rather than environmentally-responsible leaders. These bamboozlers try to convince scientists, politicians, and the public that global warming is a fraud. The climate change skeptics are “deniers of the obvious science.” I am not sure what the definition of “obvious science” is, it must be a close cousin to consensus science, certainly not based on fact. http://cruxnow.com/life/2015/07/21/updates-on-the-mayors-conference-at-the-vatican/

Robertson said that “Vancouver is among a group of cities focused on eliminating fossil fuels and shifting towards 100 percent renewable energy.” That will be interesting to watch. http://vancouverobserver.com/news/vancouver-mayor-energized-vatican-climate-conference

The Vatican tried to connect climate change with human trafficking by claiming that global warming is responsible for creating “environmental refugees” who flee their homes because of drought or other climate-caused natural disasters. This begs the question, was climate change responsible for slavery in Egypt, in the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Middle East, Africa, or modern slaves in Islamic cultures?

The Paris climate negotiations in December (Who would have thought that humans could modify climate and negotiate it?) will have a final declaration that states, among other things, that “human-induced climate change is a scientific reality and its effective control is a moral imperative for humanity.”

The document demands not just transition to low-carbon and renewable energy, but making “urgent investments” in sustainable development, rich countries footing the investment bill for the poor countries and divesting away from the military. Who needs an army, a navy, or an air force when the world is so peaceful and non-threatening?

As my good friend Chriss R. pointed out, this was an extraordinary event for Marxist politicians from around the globe to meet at the Vatican with the pope to discuss something that has nothing to do with religion or the salvation of souls. Furthermore, who paid for the very expensive trip of each mayor who flew to Rome on 60 different jets spewing carbon into the atmosphere?

If it was the taxpayers, how does that sit with atheists and spiritualists for their politicians to chat up a religious leader? Don’t they usually reject the church and vociferously demand separation of church and state? If it was the Catholic Church that paid for the trip of all these socialists, why did the church not use the money to help the starving poor instead?

Pope Francis is quoted by National Geographic as having said, “It’s very entertaining to be Pope.” Is it helpful to use a powerful moral authority to influence something that is not real, has no basis in real science or fact, and it will definitely cause more poverty around the globe?

The deep de-carbonization meeting in Paris, The 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) is likely to draw at least 10,000 government and UN representatives, all arriving on carbon-spewing jets. But the rules of the new climatism science are just for ordinary people, not for those who control the world. http://cop21.gouv.fr/en

Deep decarbonizing is a must for the masses. As Dr. Klaus Kaiser stated, “How else can you reduce the world population from 7 to 8 billion to fewer than one billion which Professor HJ Schellnhuber opines as necessary? He is the director of the Potsdam Institut fuer Klimafolgenforschung,” a German government-sponsored entity for “climate impact research.” The Pontiff named “Schellnhuber to the 400-year old institution of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences (PAS).” Schellnhuber is the co-author of the encyclical on climate change, Laudato Si. http://canadafreepress.com/article/74512

 

Global Warming Thy Name is a Manufactured Crisis

How much veracity should you ascribe to global warming theories? Aside from the fact that thousands of scientists across the globe have debunked global warming, consider this – proponents of global warming manufacture or delete data to fit their agenda. University of East Anglia admitted, after being caught, to have deleted data that contradicted their “consensus” hoax. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/christopherbooker/6679082/Climate-change-this-is-the-worst-scientific-scandal-of-our-generation.html

Heartland Institute, one the most prominent scientific and research-based rational voices against global warming alarmists sent out 100,000 copies of Steve Goreham’s book, The Mad, Mad, Mad World of Climatism.

Dr. Craig Clements, Associate Professor in the Department of Meteorology and Climate Science at San Jose State University and Dr. Alison Bridger, Chair, enlightened and “tolerant” scholars that they are, decided to post a photograph of them, simulating the burning of Goreham’s book that contradicts their dogma. Officials at San Jose State University have since removed the offending photo and apologized for the “ill-attempt at satire.”

As Jim Lakely, President of The Heartland Institute, said, the environmentalist “progressive” academics do not just ignore sound scientific evidence that contradicts global warming alarmism, they dismiss any rational proof, refuse to debate, manufacture data, ban any contradictory evidence, and even “committing crimes against The Heartland Institute.” It is a childish and unscholarly behavior to even pretend to burn evidence of opposing views. It is an unreasonable practice for scientists not to consider opposing views because their unilateral decisions can fundamentally affect the lives of billions and professors shape the minds of so many students.

Lord Monckton aptly described the scientists who lack a moral compass as a danger to society. Disinformation about an opponent’s reputation and about science “is now encouraged as long as the inventions further the party line.”

“As with medical science, so with climate science, we have made the dangerous mistake of treating as a high priest anyone who wears a white coat.” A professor or scientist who “knowingly manipulates data in a manner calculated to deceive the scientific illiterates who now govern us” are committing a “grave wrong” and should be made accountable for the damage they create.

“Food riots in a dozen regions of the world tell us that millions were flung into starvation and death by the doubling of world food prices that, according to the U.N., resulted directly from the biofuel scam that is one of many pernicious spin-offs from what professor Niklas Mörner has called “the greatest lie ever told” – the global warming scare.” (Lord Monckton)

At the same time, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Monsanto, the government of Norway, the Rockefeller Foundation, and Syngenta have built a “doomsday seed bank” inside an inaccessible Norwegian rock Svalbard on Spitsbergen Island, on the Barents Sea near the Arctic Ocean, 1,100 km from the North Pole. According to F. William Engdahl, who wrote in Global Research on May 1, 2013, the impenetrable fortress/vault was built “so that crop diversity can be conserved for the future.” Engdahl asks, “What future do the seed bank’s sponsors foresee, that would threaten the global availability of current seeds, almost all of which are already well protected in designated seed banks around the world?” http://www.globalresearch.ca/doomsday-seed-vault-in-the-arctic-2/23503

Global warming proponents benefit handsomely from their schemes, to the tune of billions of dollars. Some trade carbon swaps. Some write erroneous and deceptive Power Point presentations and receive the ultimate prize from European liberals. Others start electric car companies that go bankrupt before they even produce one car or because nobody really wants to buy electric cars that do not go very far on one charge. Others receive government grants and subsidies to provide and store solar power, some build solar panels, and others build electric car batteries. Many of them declare bankruptcy because, as the classic excuse goes, they cannot compete with China.

Some academics create a name for themselves and fortunes by making up studies and conclusions to suit their communist ideology. Fraudulent studies harm humanity in general, but particularly those to whom the study is applicable. Such was Diederik Stapel, world renowned social psychologist from Netherlands and Tilburg University’s Dean of the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences since 2010.

Stapel’s star got brighter when he published a study in Science about an experiment at the Utrecht train station which claimed that a trash-filled environment brought out racist tendencies in humans. In another study published earlier, Stapel claimed that eating meat made people selfish and less social. Yet a third study claimed that association with the word capitalism made people eat more M&Ms. Stapel threw the questionnaires in the trash bin and ate the M&Ms himself.

These studies never took place, every research project of the 55 he published, every result, was a fraud. It was all his political views and agenda. And hundreds of his students’ Ph.D. dissertations were based on his faked data. How many more like this so-called scientists and academics exist in all universities around the world? I have met some Stapel type individuals, the darlings of the academia conference circuit, at universities here in the U.S. Nothing was worthy of publication or modeling with students unless these darlings said so.

Liberalism is codified as science based on “consensus” of like-minded ideologues. Once it is codified, there is no possibility for disagreement. If you disagree with their manufactured “science,” you are a tin-foil hat conspiracy theorist. This is the case with global warming on a massive scale, falsifying or hiding data to achieve the results wanted to claim vociferously and definitively man-made global warming.

If you are a global warming skeptic, that is too bad. OFA will organize the masses to make sure the low-information voters will be watching you. A letter sent to liberal supporters by Organizing for Action, this administration’s team of community organizers, decried that “so many of our elected officials in Washington who represent us are denying science and using the denial to refuse to take action on climate change.”

According to Ivan Frishberg, House Speaker Boehner and the chairman of the House Science Committee have no right to say that they do not know “if the science behind climate change was real.” But, low information voters, do not worry. “Each and every day that congressional leaders hold on to their bizarre fantasy world, OFA is going to be there, not letting them get away with it. Add your name and say you’re ready to hold climate deniers accountable.”

How about holding global warming/climate change alarmists accountable for their debunked, manufactured crises, faux data, and the billions invested in global warming schemes? How about global warming scare mongers indoctrinating children in schools at a very early age that man is destroying the planet? Last time I checked, it has been quite cold in the last few months and real scientists have proven the fact, not “consensus,” that temperatures have dropped around the globe in the last 17 years.

Rachel Carson published in 1962 her book, Silent Spring, in which she claims that there are no more singing birds because of DDT, a human carcinogen. Without any scientific data to back up her claim, either in the number of birds or human harm from cancer, her book ignited the environmental movement which eventually led to the ban of DDT in 1972.

A real scientist, a physician, Dr. Rutledge Taylor, who studied the tropical world, produced a documentary, “3 Billion and Counting,” painfully depicting the human cost of banning DDT, a move that had “nothing to do with science, just a power grab, and wealthy westerners should be ashamed.” As author and medical doctor, Michael Crichton said, “That’s more people than Hitler and Stalin together killed.”

DDT had been a very effective fighter against malaria-causing mosquitoes. Without the effectiveness of DDT, approximately three million people across the globe die annually of malaria. India and sixteen other countries still use DDT today and they have plenty of singing birds. The liberal replacement solution for DDT? The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation provides millions of dollars-worth of mosquito nets to people in malaria-prone areas.

The PC police that stifles free speech ridicules anything and anybody that contradicts their globalist agenda. The manufactured scientific “consensus” is driving the anthropogenic (man-made) global warming and the idea that humans are so powerful as to change the climate. In my book, U.N. Agenda 21: Environmental Piracy, p. 29, I explained DICED, U.N.’s Environmental Constitution for the World. http://www.amazon.com/U-N-Agenda-21-Environmental-ebook/dp/B009WC6JXO/ref=sr_1_1_title_1_kin?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1368117942&sr=1-1&keywords=UN.+Agenda+21+Environmental+Piracy

Only liberals are apparently smart enough to save us and micro-manage carbon dioxide levels through punishing carbon taxes, carbon swaps, and other schemes meant to enrich their pockets and to redistribute the wealth of the middle class in the name of social/environmental justice.

The global warming alarmists have no credibility with informed and rational Americans. “Climatism” has destroyed and redistributed a lot of hard earned wealth and altered/destroyed the lives of billions unnecessarily.
