This letter is from Dr. Zane Pollard and was published on the American
Thinker web site. He's published 90 peer review papers in the Scientific
Ophthalmology and Strabismus Journals, American Academy of Ophthalmology
and
the American Ophthalmology Society. He operates at Children's Health Care
of
Atlanta and discusses his experience with government run medicine.
August 06, 2009
By _Zane F Pollard, MD_

I have been sitting quietly on the sidelines watching all of this
national
debate on healthcare. It is time for me to bring some clarity to the
table
by explaining many of the problems from the perspective of a doctor.
First off, the government has involved very few of us physicians in the
healthcare debate. While the American Medical Association has come out in
favor of the plan, it is vital to remember that the AMA only represents
17%
of the American physician workforce.
I have taken care of Medicaid patients for 35 years while representing
the
only pediatric ophthalmology group left in Atlanta, Georgia that accepts
Medicaid. For example, in the past 6 months I have cared for three young
children on Medicaid who had corneal ulcers. This is a potentially
blinding
situation because if the cornea perforates from the infection, almost
surely
blindness will occur. In all three cases the antibiotic needed for the
eradication of the infection was not on the approved Medicaid list.
Each time I was told to fax Medicaid for the approval forms, which I did.
Within 48 hours the form came back to me which was sent in immediately
via
fax, and I was told that I would have my answer in 10 days. Of course by
then each child would have been blind in the eye.
Each time the request came back denied. All three times I personally
provided the antibiotic for each patient which was not on the Medicaid
approved
list. Get the point -- rationing of care.
Over the past 35 years I have cared for over 1000 children born with
congenital cataracts. In older children and in adults the vision is
rehabilitated with an intraocular lens. In newborns we use contact lenses
which are
very expensive. It takes Medicaid over one year to approve a contact lens
post
cataract surgery. By that time a successful anatomical operation is
wasted as the child will be close to blind from a lack of focusing for so
long a
period of time.
Again, extreme rationing. Solution: I have a foundation here in Atlanta
supported 100% by private funds which supplies all of these contact
lenses
for my Medicaid and illegal immigrants children for free. Again, waiting
for the government would be disastrous.
Last week I had a lady bring her child to me. They are Americans but
live
in Sweden, as the father has a job with a big corporation. The child had
the onset of double vision 3 months ago and has been unable to function
normally because of this. They are people of means but are waiting 8
months to
see the ophthalmologist in Sweden. Then if the child needed surgery they
would be put on a 6 month waiting list. She called me and I saw her that
day.
It turned out that the child had accommodative esotropia (crossing of
the eyes treated with glasses that correct for farsightedness) and
responded to glasses within 4 days, so no surgery was needed. Again,
rationing of
care.
Last month I operated on a 70 year old lady with double vision present
for
3 years. She responded quite nicely to her surgery and now is symptom
free. I also operated on a 69 year old judge with vertical double
vision. His
surgery went very well and now he is happy as a lark. I have been told
-- but of course there is no healthcare bill that has been passed yet --
that these 2 people because of their age would have been denied
surgery
and just told to wear a patch over one eye to alleviate the symptoms of
double vision. Obviously cheaper than surgery.
I spent two year in the US Navy during the Viet Nam war and was well
treated by the military. There was tremendous rationing of care and we
were
told specifically what things the military personnel and their dependents
could have and which things they could not have. While I was in Viet Nam,
my
wife Nancy got sick and got essentially no care at the Naval Hospital in
Oakland, California. She went home and went to her family's private
internist in Beverly Hills. While it was expensive, she received an
immediate
work up. Again rationing of care.
For those of you who are over 65, this bill in its present form might
be
lethal for you. People in Britain face rationing of care in that there is
an eight month wait for cataract surgery, 11 for hernia and the same for
disc and total hip The government wants to mimic the British plan. For
those
of you younger, it will still mean restriction of the care that you and
your children receive.
While 99% of physicians went into medicine because of the love of
medicine and the challenge of helping our fellow man, economics are
still
important. My rent goes up 2% each year and the salaries of my employees
go up 2%
each year. Twenty years ago, ophthalmologists were paid $1800 for a
cataract surgery and today $500. This is a 73% decrease in our fees. I
do not
know of many jobs in America that have seen this sort of lowering of fees.
But there is more to the story than just the lower fees. When I came to
Atlanta, there was a well known ophthalmologist that charged $2500 for a
cataract surgery as he felt the was the best. He had a terrific reputation
and
in fact I had my mother's bilateral cataracts operated on by him with a
wonderful result. She is now 94 and has 20/20 vision in both eyes.
People
would pay his $2500 fee.
However, then the government came in and said that any doctor that does
Medicare work cannot accept more than the going rate ( now $500) or he
or
she would be severely fined. This put an end to his charging $2500. The
government said it was illegal to accept more than the government-allowed
rate. What I am driving at is that those of you well off will not be
able to go to the head of the line under this new healthcare plan, just
because you have money, as no physician will be willing to go against
the law
to treat you.
I am a pediatric ophthalmologist and trained for 10 years post-college
to
become a pediatric ophthalmologist (add two years of my service in the
Navy and that comes to 12 years).A neurosurgeon spends 14 years post
-college, and if he or she has to do the military that would be 16
years. I am
not entitled to make what a neurosurgeon makes, but the new plan calls
for
all physicians to make the same amount of payment. I assure you that
medical students will not go into neurosurgery and we will have a
tremendous
shortage of neurosurgeons. Already, the top neurosurgeon at my hospital
who is
in good health and only 52 years old has just quit because he can't stand
working with the government anymore. Forty-nine percent of children
under
the age of 16 in the state of Georgia are on Medicaid, so he felt he
just
could not stand working with the bureaucracy anymore.
We are being lied to about the uninsured. They are getting care. I
operate at least 2 illegal immigrants each month who pay me nothing,
and the
children's hospital at which I operate charges them nothing also.This is
true
not only on Atlanta, but of every community in America.
The bottom line is that I urge all of you to contact your congresswomen
and congressmen and senators to defeat this bill. I promise you that you
will
not like rationing of your own health.
Furthermore, how can you trust a physician that works under these
conditions knowing that he is controlled by the state. I certainly could
not trust
any doctor that would work under these draconian conditions.
One last thing: with this new healthcare plan there will be a tremendous
shortage of physicians. It has been estimated that approximately 5% of
the
current physician work force will quit under this new system. Also it
is
estimated that another 5% shortage will occur because of the decreased
number of men and women wanting to go into medicine. At the present time
the US
government has mandated gender equity in admissions to medical schools
.That means that for the past 15 years that somewhere between 49 and
51% of each entering class are females. This is true of private schools
also, because all private schools receive federal funding.
The average career of a woman in medicine now is only 8-10 years and the
average work week for a female in medicine is only 3-4 days. I have now
trained 35 fellows in pediatric ophthalmology. Hands down the best was
a
female that I trained 4 years ago -- she was head and heels above all
others I have trained. She now practices only 3 days a week.

This would have to be one of the best emails I've ever read....
For anyone who didn't see the episode of David Letterman's show where This story was told, Read this: (And remember it's a true story...)
On a recent weekend in Atlantic City , a woman won a bucketful of Quarters at a slot machine.
She took a break from the slots for dinner with her husband in the Hotel dining room.
But first she wanted to stash the Quarters in her room. I'll be right back and we'll go to eat' she told her husband and carried the coin-laden bucket to the elevator.
As she was about to walk into the elevator she noticed two men already aboard.
Both were black. One of them was very tall and had an intimidating figure.
The woman froze. Her first thought was: 'These two are going to rob me.'
Her next thought was: 'Don't be a bigot, they look like perfectly nice Gentlemen.' But racial stereotypes are powerful, and fear immobilized her.
Avoiding eye contact, she turned around stiffly and faced the elevator doors as they closed.
A second passed, and then another second, and then another.
Her fear increased!
The elevator didn't move.
Panic consumed her.
'My God' she thought, I'm trapped and about to be robbed!
Her heart plummeted.
Perspiration poured from every pore.
Then one of the men said, 'Hit the floor.'
Instinct told her to do what they told her.
The bucket of quarters flew upwards as she threw out her arms and Collapsed on the elevator floor. A shower of coins rained down on her.
'Take my money and spare me', she prayed.
More seconds passed.
She heard one of the men say politely, 'Ma'am, if you'll just tell us what floor you're going to, we'll push the button.'
The one who said it had a little trouble getting the words out. He was trying mightily to hold in a belly laugh.
The woman lifted her head and looked up at the two men. They reached down to help her up.
Confused, she struggled to her feet. 'When I told my friend here to hit The floor,' said the average sized one, I meant that he should hit the elevator button for our floor. I didn't mean For you to hit the floor,
ma'am.'
He spoke genially.
He bit his lip.
It was obvious he was having a hard time not laughing.
The woman thought: 'My God, what a spectacle I've made of myself.' She was too humiliated to speak.
The three of them gathered up the strewn quarters and refilled her bucket.
When the elevator arrived at her floor they insisted on walking her to her room..
She seemed a little unsteady on her feet, and they were afraid she might Not make it down the corridor.
At her door they bid her a good evening.
As she slipped into her room she could hear them roaring with laughter as they walked back to the elevator.
The woman brushed herself off. She pulled herself together and went downstairs for dinner with her husband.
The next morning flowers were delivered to her room; a dozen roses.
Attached to EACH rose was a crisp one hundred-dollar bill !!
The card said: 'Thanks for the best laugh we've had in years !
It was signed:
Eddie Murphy & Michael Jordan.

Subject: AN EXCELLENT LETTER OF OUTRAGE
READ THIS VERY WELL WRITTEN LETTER AND THE ANSWER TO IT LIES IN A VERY EASY
WEB SITE TO GET TO. Http://goooh.Com/ CHECK IT OUT.
This gal about covers it all! ----- Letter of Outrage
MUST READ!!!
This letter was sent to the Wall Street Journal on August 8, 2008 by
Alisa Wilson, Ph.D. Of Beverly Hills, CA. in response to the Wall Street
Journal article titled "Where's The Outrage?" that appeared July 31, 2008.
Really. I can tell you where the outrage is. The outrage is here, in this
middle-aged, well-educated, upper-middle class woman. The outrage is here,
but I have no representation, no voice. The outrage is here, but no one is
listening for who am I?
I am not a billionaire like George Soros that can fund an entire
political movement. I am not a celebrity like Barbra Streisand that can
garner the attention of the press to promote political candidates. I am not
a film maker like Michael Moore or Al Gore that can deliver misleading
movies to the public.
The outrage is here, but unlike those with money or power, I don't know
how to reach those who feel similarly in order to effect change. Why am I
outraged? I am outraged that my country, the United States of America , is
in a state of moral and ethical decline. There is no right or wrong anymore,
just what's fair.
Is it fair that millions of Americans who overreached and borrowed more
than they could afford are now being bailed out by the government and
lending institutions to stave off foreclosure? Why shouldn't these people be
made to pay the consequences for their poor judgment?
When my husband and I purchased our home, we were careful to purchase
only what we could afford. Believe me, there are much larger, much nicer
homes that I would have loved to have purchased. But, taking responsibility
for my behavior and my life, I went with the house that we could afford, not
the house that we could not afford. The notion of personal responsibility
has all but died in our country.
I am outraged, that the country that welcomed my mother as an immigrant
from Hitler's Nazi Germany and required that she and her family learn
English now allows itself to be overrun with illegal immigrants and worse,
caters to those illegal immigrants.
I am outraged that my hard-earned taxes help support those here
illegally. That the Los Angeles Public School District is in such disarray
that I felt it incumbent to send my child to private school, that every time
I go to the ATM, I see "do you want to continue in English or Spanish?",
that every time I call the bank, the phone company, or similar business, I
hear "press 1 for English or press 2 for Spanish". WHY? This is America ,
our common language is English and attempts to promote a bi- or
multi-lingual society are sure to fail and to marginalize those who cannot
communicate in English.
I am outraged at our country's weakness in the face of new threats on
American traditions from Muslims. Just this week, Tyson's Food negotiated
with its union to permit Muslims to have Eid-al-Fitr as a holiday instead of
Labor Day. What am I missing? Yes, there is a large Somali Muslim population
working at the Tyson's plant in Tennessee . Tennessee , last I checked, is
still part of the United States . If Muslims want to live and work here
they should be required to live and work by our American Laws and not impose
their will on our long history.
In the same week, Random House announced that they had indefinitely
delayed the publication of The Jewel of Medina, by Sherry Jones, a book
about the life of Mohammed's wife, Aisha due to fear of retribution and
violence by Muslims. When did we become a nation ruled by fear of what other
immigrant groups want? It makes me so sad to see large corporations cave
rather than stand proudly on the principles that built this country.
I am outraged because appeasement has never worked as a political policy,
yet appeasing Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is exactly what we are trying to do. An
excellent article, also published recently in the Wall Street Journal, went
through over 20 years of history and why talking with Iran has been and
will continue to be ineffective. Yet talk, with a madman no less, we
continue to do. Have we so lost our moral compass and its ability to detect
evil that we will not go in and destroy Iran 's nuclear program? Would we
rather wait for another Holocaust for the Jews - one which they would be
unlikely to survive?! When does it end?
As if the battle for good and evil isn't enough, now come the
Environmentalists who are so afraid of global warming that they want to put
a Bag tax on grocery bags in California ; to eliminate Mylar balloons; to
establish something as insidious as the recycle police in San Francisco. I
do my share for the environment: I recycle, I use water wisely, I installed
an energy efficient air conditioning unit but when and where does the lunacy
stop? Ahmadinejad wants to wipe Israel off the map, the California economy
is being overrun by illegal immigrants, and the United States of America no
longer knows right from wrong, good from evil.. So what does California do?
Tax grocery bags.
So, America , although I can tell you where the outrage is, this one
middle-aged, well-educated, upper middle class woman is powerless to do
anything about it. I don't even feel like my vote counts because I am so
outnumbered by those who disagree with me.
Alisa Wilson, Ph.D. Beverly Hills, California
**There are a lot more out there who think just like,

Now President Obama has directed the United States Postal Service to REMEMBER and HONOR the EID MUSLIM holiday season with a new commemorative 42 Cent First Class Holiday Postage Stamp.
REMEMBER to adamantly & vocally BOYCOTT this stamp, when you are purchasing your stamps at the post office.
All you have to say is "No thank you, I do not want that Muslim Stamp on my letters!"
To use this stamp would be a slap in the face to all those AMERICANS who died at the hands of those whom this stamp honors.
REMEMBER ~
Pass this along to every Patriotic AMERICAN that you know and let's get the word out !!!
Here is something to chew on...
They (MUSLIMS) don't even believe in Christ, & they're getting their own Christmas stamp! BUT, don't dare to dream of posting the ten commandments on federal property! This is truly UNBELIEVABLE !!!

Obama Attacks U.S.
2009 September 23
tags: Ghaddafi, Hugo Chavez, News, NewsRealblog, Obama, Politics
by David Horowitz
The U.S. President began his speech to an audience that included Ahmadinejad, Qadhafi and Hugo Chavez by explaining, somewhat apologetically, that it is his responsibility to defend the interests of his nation.
But since Barack Obama never opens his mouth without speaking out of both sides of it, you have to wait for the punch line to see what he really means.
Did he point out to the assembled dictators and terrorists that for 9 years America has been leading the war against terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq and thereby protecting not only its own interests but those of all people who love their freedom? No. He used the UN podium first to give a partisan political speech continually attacking the Bush Administration and then announced with pride what he had done in only 9 months in office: stop American torturers, close America’s torture chambers on Guantanamo, and leave Iraq (as though we were there for blood and oil). And top it off, under Obama we had joined Qadhafi and Ahmadinejad and Fidel Castro on the UN’s evil “Human Rights Council” which has issued hundreds of condmnations of Israel and none of Hizbollah, Iran and Hamas.
Behold, in other words, “the new United States” — as Fox reported it. And of course following his attacks on the United States and Bush were attacks on Israel, the nation on the front lines of the war against terror. Palestinians, the President said, should stop their “volatile incitements” against Israel, while Israel should recognize the legitimate rights of the Palestinans (as though it doen’t) and “end the occupation that began in 1967″ — the occupation that resulted from an unprovoked Arab war of aggression against Israel followed by an Arab refusal to sign a peace treaty in exchange for Israeli withdrawal.
As an American and a Jew I found the President’s speech an offensive betrayal of America’s interests. The rest of the speech was dangerous hot air about the world cooperating. “The yearning for peace is universal” Obama said. Oh no it is isn’t. Tell that that to Ahmadinejad, Qaddafi, and Chavez.

Well, I think in international politics it’s much better to look for a dialog and find either a small common ground, instead of the old fashioned threats, screams and bombs… Of course, Ahmadinejad, Qaddafi, and Chavez aren’t good examples of democracy, but threatening them and deny any kind of relationship allows only to obtain no results. Obama isn’t perfect, but I believe he’s on the right path. He’s threatened by Al-Qaeda, by pharmaceutical industry, by insurances, by all Bush friends… So, that’s an evidence that there’s something right in what he’s doing.
“War on terrorism” is a contradiction… You become a terrorist at the same moment you use violence to fight something that changes always shape and location, so you become just like the one you want to fight. Instead, one should use all the efforts to understand the causes behind that… No chance for peace and freedom without dialogue.

I don’t think so and I don’t think you do either. On 9/11 people were just going about their business when their life was taking or ruined. We are just like them when we fight back, hogwash.

We have tried to reason with these terrorist far to long and if “shalom” remembers how much good it did the British to appease Adolph back in ‘38, maybe he might think twice about his views, but therein lies the problem, he fails to recount events of the past.

As a boy of 13, he actually helped the Nazi’s in Hungary for a brief time, with their persecution of the Jews while hiding his real Jewish identity… although to be fair, he was just a child at the time trying to survive…

I oppose trying to “bring down” Obama through somethign like impeachment. I think the far better and more practical approach is to nudge him toward the center. Just think about the Clinton era. Trying to impeach Clinton failed. It was a waste of energy and time. But trying to nudge Clinton to the center (like on Welfare reform for example) was effective. The same can and should be done with Obama.

How are you going to nudge him towards center when he ignores the voices of half of America, and calls them fruitcakes, racists, and traitors… This guy is far past the point of rehabilitation.. He’s trying to bring down America so he can rebuild it in his image..
If that isn’t clear by now, then someone’s being painfully naive… and risking great harm to the country.
We’re in the middle of a flat out assault against our Constitution, and you want to nudge him… ???
The only direction in which this traitor should be nudged is into a federal penitentiary.

When has Obama ever called any of his opponents any such thing?
Nudged into a prison cell? FOR WHAT? What CRIME has he committed? Pushing bad political ideas isn’t a crime.
Trying to nudge Obama toward the center is what the GOP and conservatives have been doing — and it’s been working. Hey, where’d that “public option” go?
Don’t go off the deep end, my friend.

Listen to yourself. I think I know my colleagues better than you do Swemson. I recruited most of them myself and know their views better than you do. I think I’d know if they thought Obama was a “traitor” who had committed treason and other crimes and deserved to be thrown in jail. Further I find your suggestion that they and myself — including David Horowitz — do not have “the stones” to be outspoken and politically incorrect a tad offensive. You think we’re holding back what our true views are? Do you really think that little of us?

I was talking ONLY about the members, like me, who read what you guys write & then discuss it here…
Yes.. I think a lot more of US, think Obama is a traitor than you might think…
And as much as I like you, I’m beginning to think that you’re far too “Moderate” if that’s the right word, to truly understand HOW ugly, evil and dangerous what’s going on in our great country really is right now… Maybe it’s because I’m older than you, & I have no doubt that the fact that once wore the Marine Corps uniform has played a part in moulding my thoughts & attitude.. but we clealy see things from a different angle…
Maybe I am off the deep end on the right… could be… but I have to tell you that as much as I hope I’m wrong, I think that this country is in such deep doo doo right now, that it’s almost inevitable that we’re going to see the beginning of another violent American revolution in the very near future… I’m going to send you a photo that supports my prediction by eMail right after posting this… put it up with this comment if you wish… It’s a common sight around the area where I live…
I’ve been seeing some very encouraging signs lately that America is waking up and smelling what Obama and his merry band of marxist czars & advisors are shoveling… but on the other hand I think that most of the rational voices on the right are underestimating the opposition by a big factor…
Todays vote in the senate was an excellent indicator that the far left knows they’re in trouble and is beginning a “SURGE” against our freedom and liberties as we speak…
They’re actively creating one crisis after another so they’ll have an excuse to launch a major blitzkreig in the VERY near future… One of the next big ones is going to be the food shortages resulting from Obama and his enviro-fascist gang shutting off the flow of water to California’s central valley… TO PROTECT THE DELTA SMELT !
The green freaks always seem to forget that one of the things that happens naturally on this planet on a daily basis, is that some creatures become EXTINCT !
And I am definitely hoping to see all of these left wing liars, thieves and thugs go extinct themselves…..
Oscar Levant was one of the all time great insult artists… and he came to mind the other day when a fellow I play poker with asked me what I thought of Obama… I immediately remembered Oscar & said:
“He should inherit a hotel and be found dead in every room… that’s what I wish on him !”

When I said: “he ignores the voices of half of America, and calls them fruitcakes, racists, and traitors… ” I was referring to the central axis of Obama, Reid, Pelosi, liars like Barney Frank, John Conyers, the czars, Rahm Emmanuel, Axelrod, etc…etc.. And frankly I have no problem including Chris Matthews, Olberman, Letterman, Maher & the rest of that crowd in with them as well…
“Nudged into a prison cell? FOR WHAT? What CRIME has he committed?”
Treason , subversion of the Constitution, Racketeering (ACORN), grand larceny (Chrysler / GM stock given to unions etc..) Fraud (using public funds to promote his ideology) Election fraud, and several more I’m sure…. Oh, and did I mention TREASON…
Yes David, if we were living in a rational world I should think his crimes against America would be deserving the most harsh punishment that you can imagine….
This POS has lied to the American public almost every single time that he’s opened his mouth….. and YES I believe that the covert dismantling of our country has been his intention all along….
He’s providing aid and comfort to our enemies by ordering the State Department to spend $20MM of public funds to help Palestinians, many if not most of whom are members of Hamas, to emigrate to the USA with all expenses, welfare, healthcare, living expenses etc, courtesy of the US Taxpayers.
He’s betraying Israel, perhaps our most valuable ally we have.
He’s trying to subvert the arts (NEA) to function as a propaganda aid to his Marxist ambitions…
He’s perpetrating a fraud against the entire country with Cap & Tax,
He’s trying to screw our seniors who paid into Medicare, to steal 300 billion or more from their benefits..
He’s trying to screw veterans by reducing their health care benefits which they MOST DEFINITELY paid for…
Common David…
Why don’t you ask Newsreel’s members if they think that Obama is just “Pushing bad political ideas”……

Obama is not responsible for the rhetoric of Olbermann. If they’re not working for Obama then you can’t attack him through their words. The statement you made was factually wrong. You’re upset by the policies that he’s pushing so you got a little carried away.
I think NewsReal’s bloggers have been quite clear in their judgments and criticisms of Obama. Show me where one of them has said that Obama has committed treason or should be jailed. You’ll have a hard time finding many of them whose expressed views line up with your hyperbole. Nowhere in any of Horowitz’s writings have I seen him use such language.
Obama is pushing bad political ideas. He’s not committing treason or crimes. The latter is just what you’re afraid he’s doing.

Swemson,
Julie speaking up here.
Is President Obama a traitor? No, he says things that irritate me. Fortunately he’s irritating a lot of people on both sides.
We won’t really know how enthusiastic the American people are in supporting President Obama’s agenda (now that it has been fully revealed) until Nov 2010. We still have lots of work to do; distracting ourselves with traitor/impeachment rhetoric is just that; a distraction that the Left wants.

It’s not a matter to believe or not… Just observe the facts: if the old, armed and hard approach was the right one, after so many years and so many efforts, Middle East, and our Israel, would be a holiday place with great perspectives. The fact that instead the area is still a hot one, means – in my opinion – that maybe it’s time to change strategy and try something else. I believe that the main desire of all the people living in the area is to live in peace each other, in spite of their government heads. Believe me, I understand the reasons all the people is writing here, but I don’t think fear and hate will help us to fight an enemy that endlessly changes and hides…

Are you a general officer or part of central command privy to data that no one else can see that would counter any of the overtly obvious threats to Isreal? If wearing one’s countries uniform is the only preface to not being a punk, then you have logically excluded our fearless leader. As for your Ad Hominem, please provide some empirical data to support these claims.

Swemson, the best example that I think of is the fear that those students from Woods Hole that went to the Polar ice cap to update the monitoring equipment and perform enviromental analysis. How many days did they sit around discussing the fact that the ice monitoring equipment callibrations were significantly off and that there was no ice loss. They were undoubtedly frightened and hesitent to report their findings. The fear and intimidation that is forced upon us by the Cap and Trade, the sky is falling politicians is taking a tole. Well, to answer the question, they waited 6 days to report the findings and did it first through the safety of an external resource before calling the University. We live in insane times and it is at times difficult to weed through the web of lies. Azuma, it is ISRAEL.And they own the land from the Nile to Eyphraetes River. The term “Palestinian” is a political confabulation. Even the Koran states this. It is interesting that this point is lost in the anti-Jew agression.Also, calling D.Horowitz a ” pundit” are fighting words. Put up or shut up. The Huff n’Puff would fit your taste just fine. As a previous S.D.S. activist, I appreciate Mr. Horowitz for his insight,wisdom and wit. As to Mr. Obama, wisdom is part of his core being and it is that very fact that makes him and his Marxist beliefs very dangerous.

Al Gore shows photos & videos of the polar ice in the summer, when it ALWAYS melts, and falls apart around the edges… All you have to do is compare satellite photos taken during the winter to see what I mean..
The Ice is just ONE part of his lies… A large portion of their temperature measurement devices are unreliable… I’ve seen photos of many that are located next to commercial A/C equipment that spews hot air on them… Many that were originally placed in rural environments are now surrounded by concrete that absorbs the heat of the sun & radiates it back all night. It’s called the “heat island effect”, and everybody knows about it… On top of all of that, they actually falsify the data even more to make it fit their bogus computer models and predictions.
THIS IS THE BIGGEST CASE OF SCIENTIFIC FRAUD IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND… !
They show a photo of a polar bear floating on a piece of ice & claim that it proves that the polar bears are going extinct… HA !
The polar bear population has been growing for years… we have more polar bears now than we’ve had in MANY years…
But the biggest part of the lie is when they tell us that CO2 is a POLLUTANT that’s destroying the earth… CO2 is PLANT FOOD. It’s such a minor greenhouse that, that the concentration of MAN-MADE CO2 in the atmosphere is measured in parts per million (PPM)… CO2 represents only 4/10th of 1% of the earth’s atmosphere. Of that entire amount, 770 GT (Giga Tons) less than half of 1% (27GT) is caused by man, and not all of that comes from our use of fossil fuels. Last I heard is that man made CO2 has contributed a rise in CO2 over the last 100 years or so of about 25 to 30 PPM.
Is it a greenhouse gas.. of course it is, but any effects that large CO2 concentrations can have on our climate are so negligible as to be statistically insignificant. Our average temperatures are influenced primarily by solar activity. In the last 1,000 years we’ve had centuries in which our average temps were 4 degrees above the thousand year median… and centuries in which our average temps were 3-4 degrees below the thousand year median….
We’re currently roughly 6/10ths of ONE degree above the thousand year median….
SO WHERE THE HELL IS THE BLOODY CRISIS ????

Swemson, I hope to never run into Obama. The climate “change” fraud is like the game of telephone that we played as kids. You whisper something into the ear of the kid next to you and in turn he/she pasess it to the next kid and so on. By the time it gets back to the original kid it has no resemblance to the original message. As this fraud of climate change urgency is reaching fevered pitch, there is still no scientific evidence to back the findings of Gore’s movie, or the theories presented by “scientists”. After visiting with a cousin last summer (he is the retired director of communication of NASA/Houston/22 years), the topic of global warming and atmospheric trapping of CO2 was a heated topic with others that firmly believe in the theory without evidence. He said that the evidence of human causation will never be there. He explained that one of greatest enemies of communications in the space program is the sun. The sun apparently goes through cycles like everything else,has flares, spots, different radiation emmisions and that the earth temperatures are actually cooler. Ice does melt and then reforms.Ocean salinety changes. In other words, as he put it “the earth is in constant flux”, and that” those that seek to isolate a earth period are fools”.The earth and climate study are a large part of the NASA budget, and subject to the whim of those that authorize the funds.But, he said “chill out” nothing can change. Polution is a different matter, so he did suggest that you pick up after yourself.Swemson, we are in deep trouble and need to fight this fictitous pseudo-science and need to constantly and relentlessly refute false science and reveal the true purpose.

Judy, just to clarify a few small details in what you wrote:
There was some evidence to support the AGW theory in the late 1970’s, 80’s. From 1975 to 1998, our temperatures did rise pretty quickly. Of course if you looked at the rise in relation to past climate history, it wasn’t that drastic, or even that big of a rise, but during those years, the rate of rise did coincide with a similar rate of rise of man-made CO2… So it wasn’t unusual that some observers credited the rise on the increase of CO2… Of course they got their entire theory ass backwards, as several scientists have proved beyond a doubt that the increasing temperature actually created the increase in atmospheric CO2, and not the other way around as many scientists believed.
Before the AGW theory had been debunked, England got into a bit of a mess because the coal miners there were on strike, so, without really understanding the science of this at all, Maggie Thatcher jumped on the idea that coal emissions were causing climate change as a political weapon to fight the miners with, in essence threatening that a big move towards alternative clean fuels would scare them into submission…
It wasn’t Thatcher’s intention of course, to start the present hysteria, but she WAS the first well-known politician to advocate the theory…
Humans however, throughout history, have always greeted climate change as being catastrophic. At first they thought of it as god punishing us for our sins… but we never really got over that, in large part due to the media.. Why the media ? Because catastrophes sell newspapers !
This current “crisis” is the 4th to take place in the last hundred years alone. The last one ended in 1975, after 35 years of cooling which everyone was afraid was heralding the onset of another ice age. The following actual article from Newsweek 39 years ago tells the story..
http://denisdutton.com/newsweek_coolingworld.pdf
Your cousin is absolutely right that man is incapable of having any significant impact on our climate, and yes, pollution is indeed a serious problem… But I can assure you that if we (all govts combined) spent half of the money ($50 Billion) that we’ve pissed away on trying to find a way to change our climate on cleaning up pollution, and finding ways to clean up our emissions, the world we’re living in would be far cleaner….. And the only facts about climate that we must all learn to understand are that warming isn’t to be feared… warming is GOOD.. the earth thrives during warm periods, the CO2 that comes with it causes all vegetation and forests to grow like crazy, and…… that the only constant about climate, is that it is ALWAYS changing…
The last component of this HOAX, however, that really pisses me off the most, and that ties together all the things that I’ve been saying about the far left intentionally trying to tear our country down, is the fact that the idea that we’re quickly running out of natural resources is complete and total rubbish.
In the last several years we have discovered such huge oil & gas reserves in our territorial waters that geologists are beginning to suspect that we have BIGGER oil reserves than Saudi Arabia. And as drilling techniques get more sophisticated, we’ll be able to access far more than we even know about today…. The Alaskan reserves in Anwar are at least 10 times bigger than the radical environmentalists say they are. In many respects, they’ve taken over from the American Communist Party in the way they try to manipulate and control the country…
This CRIMINAL government of ours is actually letting the Chinese drill in the Gulf of Mexico (and I’m sure they’re getting something under the table for that) while refusing to let Americans drill to supply our own domestic needs. Our known reserves on the continental shelf on BOTH coasts are almost impossible to even measure, and nobody is even counting how much oil we have in shale in the north central states & Canada. Maybe now that Ted Kennedy is dead, we’ll be allowed to drill off the coast of Cape Cod…. (PS: Oil rigs actually stimulate the growth of fisheries)
America has sufficient oil reserves to cover 100% of our own needs for the next hundred years or more. We could easily solve our economic problems by paying China in oil for all of the stuff we buy from them… We have so much, that we could afford to undercut our enemies, Venezuela, the Arab oil Sheiks, as well as the Russian thugs, who are now using their oil riches to expand their sphere of influence.. The non-oil producing countries, many of whom are not that crazy about of America, would forget their hatred & jealousy in a NY minute, as soon as we start offering them the oil they need at the best prices…. We could easily be restored to the status of the wealthiest nation on earth, by a far bigger margin than we ever were before.
The licensing fees that the government could receive from the production companies that drill for it would be enough to pay off our national debt, and ALL of the expenses of running the country for at least the next 50 years or so, thereby eliminating all taxes…
It’s all possible, if only we could clean out the sewer on the Potomac.
I may be off a hair on some of the details, but all of what I’ve said above is true. We have it all here, all we need is a rational and honest government that works for US and not for themselves, and every single problem that we’re facing goes away in a relatively short number of years…
The only thing standing in our way, is the far left elements in our own corrupt government…
We need a new constitutional convention where we can strengthen the few weak spots in our Constitution, redefine what the govt can and cannot do in strong, clear and specific terms, and set up an electoral system with serious term limits that will prevent the possibility of this kind of corruption from ever happening again…

Swemson, I agree. Bart gave a long synopsis of essentially the same data only with more analysis that was mind-numbing. But, he stated that the concerns with CO2 is a fallacy since like the human body needs the “CO2-drive” to trigger respiration, the earth functions on CO2 in much the same way. Global warming in his analysis was infinately preferable to cooling as the oceans to our bodies are dependent upon heat to survive. Cooling inhibits all mechanisms of life. What troubles me the most is how this has caught fire without scientific data. I don’t mean photos that are contrived. I mean, that the world is repleat with scientists that are able to just that. Study. Julis is right when she says that no one wants to bite the hand that doles out the grants. David is right when he uses the word “nudge”. The name of a book by Cass Sunstein is “Nudge” and it represents moving a population toward a goal that they do not desire. You “nudge” them along. However, I do believe that along with nudging Obama, we should not give up on the in your face tactic so that our dissention becomes ignored. We must us the tactics of the Progressives and take it straight out of their playbook. This is why they are so furious with the tea-parties and the march on Washington. Never in their wildest nightmare did they expect dissent on that scale. By this constant pounding we can make it a issue not to be ignored and hopefully nudge Obama to a more moderate stand. The next year is going to be very interesting. Stand strong in the truth.

Why do we still complain about the unamerican behaviour of Barak Obama?
Didn’t the American voters knew what to expect all along? Didn’t Mr Horowitz, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly and many others warned for years what a menace he was for the safety of this nation?
Mr. Obama didn’t betray the confidence of the people; It was the people who voted for him who betrayed THE NATION!!

“Since the year 2000, thousands of super, high-tech sensor buoys, referred to as ARGO’s (Array for Real-Time Geostrophic Oceanography) have been deployed world wide in oceans deep–in the service of “global warming research”–. Every ten days they rise to the surface, “gathering data about each strata of seawater they pass through”, explains the Vancouver Sun. Excited researchers hailed the ARGO buoys as the most sophisticated data collectors ever—that is, until the data started coming in. Now, scientists are busy spinning the results, because the little bouys are not giving them the results they want to hear. Since 2004, the oceans aren’t warming, they are actually cooling. Josh Willis of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory sniffed that the recorded temperature drop was “not anything really significant”. He explained: “It may be that we are in a period of less rapid warming”??? And you man-made global warming hoaxers are in a period of less rapid credibility. Ironically, it wasn’t long after I first read this report that someone on PBS was interviewing a marine biologist, asking him why a lot of fish (I think they were sharks, I might be wrong about that) were coming so close to the shores in a certain area. He exclaimed, “it’s because of global warming”. Apparently, he hasn’t caught up with the data yet. In the words of the professor of Economics at the University of Georgia who wrote an article entitled, “The US Tax System Explained With Beer”, (you really should try to locate that article), “to those who understand, no explanation is needed—to those who don’t, no explantion is possible”. That’s all I have to say.

Swemson,
“And as much as I like you, I’m beginning to think that you’re far too “Moderate” if that’s the right word, to truly understand HOW ugly, evil and dangerous what’s going on in our great country really is right now…”
Thank you my friend. I do have centrist and moderate tendencies which I won’t apologize for. On my conservative chessboard analogy I consider myself a Knight. You would be a Rook. Therefore it’s your responsibility for you to push me when I’m not going far enough and for me to calm you down when you go too far.
“but we clealy see things from a different angle…”
This is a good thing. Maybe if we see things from different angles we’ll get a more complete, accurate picture. Multiple angles are necessary.
“I was talking ONLY about the members, like me, who read what you guys write & then discuss it here…
Yes.. I think a lot more of US, think Obama is a traitor than you might think…”
Thinking doesn’t make it so. And the fact that large numbers of people think something doesn’t make it true. Here’s a comparison you’ll appreciate: last time I saw the stats majorities in this country believed in creationism and angels. So people can think what they want. It doesn’t mean that the map they’ve drawn in their head is an accurate representation of the territory.

Obama Attacks U.S.
2009 September 23
tags: Ghaddafi, Hugo Chavez, News, NewsRealblog, Obama, Politics
by David Horowitz
The U.S. President began his speech to an audience that included Ahmadinejad, Qadhafi and Hugo Chavez by explaining, somewhat apologetically, that it is his responsibility to defend the interests of his nation.
But since Barack Obama never opens his mouth without speaking out of both sides of it, you have to wait for the punch line to see what he really means.
Did he point out to the assembled dictators and terrorists that for 9 years America has been leading the war against terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq and thereby protecting not only its own interests but those of all people who love their freedom? No. He used the UN podium first to give a partisan political speech continually attacking the Bush Administration and then announced with pride what he had done in only 9 months in office: stop American torturers, close America’s torture chambers on Guantanamo, and leave Iraq (as though we were there for blood and oil). And top it off, under Obama we had joined Qadhafi and Ahmadinejad and Fidel Castro on the UN’s evil “Human Rights Council” which has issued hundreds of condmnations of Israel and none of Hizbollah, Iran and Hamas.
Behold, in other words, “the new United States” — as Fox reported it. And of course following his attacks on the United States and Bush were attacks on Israel, the nation on the front lines of the war against terror. Palestinians, the President said, should stop their “volatile incitements” against Israel, while Israel should recognize the legitimate rights of the Palestinans (as though it doen’t) and “end the occupation that began in 1967″ — the occupation that resulted from an unprovoked Arab war of aggression against Israel followed by an Arab refusal to sign a peace treaty in exchange for Israeli withdrawal.
As an American and a Jew I found the President’s speech an offensive betrayal of America’s interests. The rest of the speech was dangerous hot air about the world cooperating. “The yearning for peace is universal” Obama said. Oh no it is isn’t. Tell that that to Ahmadinejad, Qaddafi, and Chavez.

Well, I think in international politics it’s much better to look for a dialog and find either a small common ground, instead of the old fashioned threats, screams and bombs… Of course, Ahmadinejad, Qaddafi, and Chavez aren’t good examples of democracy, but threatening them and deny any kind of relationship allows only to obtain no results. Obama isn’t perfect, but I believe he’s on the right path. He’s threatened by Al-Qaeda, by pharmaceutical industry, by insurances, by all Bush friends… So, that’s an evidence that there’s something right in what he’s doing.
“War on terrorism” is a contradiction… You become a terrorist at the same moment you use violence to fight something that changes always shape and location, so you become just like the one you want to fight. Instead, one should use all the efforts to understand the causes behind that… No chance for peace and freedom without dialogue.

I oppose trying to “bring down” Obama through somethign like impeachment. I think the far better and more practical approach is to nudge him toward the center. Just think about the Clinton era. Trying to impeach Clinton failed. It was a waste of energy and time. But trying to nudge Clinton to the center (like on Welfare reform for example) was effective. The same can and should be done with Obama.

How are you going to nudge him towards center when he ignores the voices of half of America, and calls them fruitcakes, racists, and traitors… This guy is far past the point of rehabilitation.. He’s trying to bring down America so he can rebuild it in his image..
If that isn’t clear by now, then someone’s being painfully naive… and risking great harm to the country.
We’re in the middle of a flat out assault against our Constitution, and you want to nudge him… ???

Trying to nudge Obama toward the center is what the GOP and conservatives have been doing — and it’s been working. Hey, where’d that “public option” go?

Listen to yourself. I think I know my colleagues better than you do Swemson. I recruited most of them myself and know their views better than you do. I think I’d know if they thought Obama was a “traitor” who had committed treason and other crimes and deserved to be thrown in jail. Further I find your suggestion that they and myself — including David Horowitz — do not have “the stones” to be outspoken and politically incorrect a tad offensive. You think we’re holding back what our true views are? Do you really think that little of us?

Maybe I am off the deep end on the right… could be… but I have to tell you that as much as I hope I’m wrong, I think that this country is in such deep doo doo right now, that it’s almost inevitable that we’re going to see the beginning of another violent American revolution in the very near future… I’m going to send you a photo that supports my prediction by eMail right after posting this… put it up with this comment if you wish… It’s a common sight around the area where I live…
I’ve been seeing some very encouraging signs lately that America is waking up and smelling what Obama and his merry band of marxist czars & advisors are shoveling… but on the other hand I think that most of the rational voices on the right are underestimating the opposition by a big factor…
Todays vote in the senate was an excellent indicator that the far left knows they’re in trouble and is beginning a “SURGE” against our freedom and liberties as we speak…
They’re actively creating one crisis after another so they’ll have an excuse to launch a major blitzkreig in the VERY near future… One of the next big ones is going to be the food shortages resulting from Obama and his enviro-fascist gang shutting off the flow of water to California’s central valley… TO PROTECT THE DELTA SMELT !
The green freaks always seem to forget that one of the things that happens naturally on this planet on a daily basis, is that some creatures become EXTINCT !
And I am definitely hoping to see all of these left wing liars, thieves and thugs go extinct themselves…..
Oscar Levant was one of the all time great insult artists… and he came to mind the other day when a fellow I play poker with asked me what I thought of Obama… I immediately remembered Oscar & said:
“He should inherit a hotel and be found dead in every room… that’s what I wish on him !”

And frankly I have no problem including Chris Matthews, Olberman, Letterman, Maher & the rest of that crowd in with them as well…
“Nudged into a prison cell? FOR WHAT? What CRIME has he committed?”
Treason , subversion of the Constitution, Racketeering (ACORN), grand larceny (Chrysler / GM stock given to unions etc..) Fraud (using public funds to promote his ideology) Election fraud, and several more I’m sure…. Oh, and did I mention TREASON…
Yes David, if we were living in a rational world I should think his crimes against America would be deserving the most harsh punishment that you can imagine….
This POS has lied to the American public almost every single time that he’s opened his mouth….. and YES I believe that the covert dismantling of our country has been his intention all along….
He’s providing aid and comfort to our enemies by ordering the State Department to spend $20MM of public funds to help Palestinians, many if not most of whom are members of Hamas, to emigrate to the USA with all expenses, welfare, healthcare, living expenses etc, courtesy of the US Taxpayers.
He’s betraying Israel, perhaps our most valuable ally we have.
He’s trying to subvert the arts (NEA) to function as a propaganda aid to his Marxist ambitions…
He’s perpetrating a fraud against the entire country with Cap & Tax,
He’s trying to screw our seniors who paid into Medicare, to steal 300 billion or more from their benefits..
He’s trying to screw veterans by reducing their health care benefits which they MOST DEFINITELY paid for…

Obama is not responsible for the rhetoric of Olbermann. If they’re not working for Obama then you can’t attack him through their words. The statement you made was factually wrong. You’re upset by the policies that he’s pushing so you got a little carried away.
I think NewsReal’s bloggers have been quite clear in their judgments and criticisms of Obama. Show me where one of them has said that Obama has committed treason or should be jailed. You’ll have a hard time finding many of them whose expressed views line up with your hyperbole. Nowhere in any of Horowitz’s writings have I seen him use such language.
Obama is pushing bad political ideas. He’s not committing treason or crimes. The latter is just what you’re afraid he’s doing.

Swemson,
Julie speaking up here.
Is President Obama a traitor? No, he says things that irritate me. Fortunately he’s irritating a lot of people on both sides.
We won’t really know how enthusiastic the American people are in supporting President Obama’s agenda (now that it has been fully revealed) until Nov 2010. We still have lots of work to do; distracting ourselves with traitor/impeachment rhetoric is just that; a distraction that the Left wants.

It’s not a matter to believe or not… Just observe the facts: if the old, armed and hard approach was the right one, after so many years and so many efforts, Middle East, and our Israel, would be a holiday place with great perspectives. The fact that instead the area is still a hot one, means – in my opinion – that maybe it’s time to change strategy and try something else. I believe that the main desire of all the people living in the area is to live in peace each other, in spite of their government heads. Believe me, I understand the reasons all the people is writing here, but I don’t think fear and hate will help us to fight an enemy that endlessly changes and hides…

Are you a general officer or part of central command privy to data that no one else can see that would counter any of the overtly obvious threats to Isreal? If wearing one’s countries uniform is the only preface to not being a punk, then you have logically excluded our fearless leader. As for your Ad Hominem, please provide some empirical data to support these claims.

Maybe Barry can go and work for one of his whacko tyrant friends and wreck their country instead of ours.

Swemson, the best example that I think of is the fear that those students from Woods Hole that went to the Polar ice cap to update the monitoring equipment and perform enviromental analysis. How many days did they sit around discussing the fact that the ice monitoring equipment callibrations were significantly off and that there was no ice loss. They were undoubtedly frightened and hesitent to report their findings. The fear and intimidation that is forced upon us by the Cap and Trade, the sky is falling politicians is taking a tole. Well, to answer the question, they waited 6 days to report the findings and did it first through the safety of an external resource before calling the University. We live in insane times and it is at times difficult to weed through the web of lies. Azuma, it is ISRAEL.And they own the land from the Nile to Eyphraetes River. The term “Palestinian” is a political confabulation. Even the Koran states this. It is interesting that this point is lost in the anti-Jew agression.Also, calling D.Horowitz a ” pundit” are fighting words. Put up or shut up. The Huff n’Puff would fit your taste just fine. As a previous S.D.S. activist, I appreciate Mr. Horowitz for his insight,wisdom and wit. As to Mr. Obama, wisdom is part of his core being and it is that very fact that makes him and his Marxist beliefs very dangerous.

Judy;
Al Gore shows photos & videos of the polar ice in the summer, when it ALWAYS melts, and falls apart around the edges… All you have to do is compare satellite photos taken during the winter to see what I mean..
The Ice is just ONE part of his lies… A large portion of their temperature measurement devices are unreliable… I’ve seen photos of many that are located next to commercial A/C equipment that spews hot air on them… Many that were originally placed in rural environments are now surrounded by concrete that absorbs the heat of the sun & radiates it back all night. It’s called the “heat island effect”, and everybody knows about it… On top of all of that, they actually falsify the data even more to make it fit their bogus computer models and predictions.
THIS IS THE BIGGEST CASE OF SCIENTIFIC FRAUD IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND… !
They show a photo of a polar bear floating on a piece of ice & claim that it proves that the polar bears are going extinct… HA !
The polar bear population has been growing for years… we have more polar bears now than we’ve had in MANY years…
But the biggest part of the lie is when they tell us that CO2 is a POLLUTANT that’s destroying the earth… CO2 is PLANT FOOD. It’s such a minor greenhouse that, that the concentration of MAN-MADE CO2 in the atmosphere is measured in parts per million (PPM)… CO2 represents only 4/10th of 1% of the earth’s atmosphere. Of that entire amount, 770 GT (Giga Tons) less than half of 1% (27GT) is caused by man, and not all of that comes from our use of fossil fuels. Last I heard is that man made CO2 has contributed a rise in CO2 over the last 100 years or so of about 25 to 30 PPM.
Is it a greenhouse gas.. of course it is, but any effects that large CO2 concentrations can have on our climate are so negligible as to be statistically insignificant. Our average temperatures are influenced primarily by solar activity. In the last 1,000 years we’ve had centuries in which our average temps were 4 degrees above the thousand year median… and centuries in which our average temps were 3-4 degrees below the thousand year median….
We’re currently roughly 6/10ths of ONE degree above the thousand year median….
SO WHERE THE HELL IS THE BLOODY CRISIS ????

Sorry Judy: WISDOM IS NOT A PART OF AMERICAN VOTERS CORE.
THEY PUT AN ENEMY IN POWER FOR HATE TOWARD A MAN WHO SACRIFICED HIS HONOR AND CREDIBILITY TO SAVE OUR RIGHT TO FREEDOM.
AND WHAT EVER HAPPENS TO ISRAEL, GIVE CREDIT TO THE 80% OF JEWS WHO DISHONORED THEIR FAITH BY VOTING BY A FUNDAMENTALIST MUSLIN FOR PRESIDENT.

Swemson, I thought that he actually initially said “control”. Now, that I would like to see. He could use those finger-pointing gestures to shoo away the rain, tornados, and other destructive forces. Who can??? “The candy man can” (From the outrageously funny video, Obama Man Can). I definitely need to stop and get lunch, I am rambling on.

Swemson, I hope to never run into Obama. The climate “change” fraud is like the game of telephone that we played as kids. You whisper something into the ear of the kid next to you and in turn he/she pasess it to the next kid and so on. By the time it gets back to the original kid it has no resemblance to the original message. As this fraud of climate change urgency is reaching fevered pitch, there is still no scientific evidence to back the findings of Gore’s movie, or the theories presented by “scientists”. After visiting with a cousin last summer (he is the retired director of communication of NASA/Houston/22 years), the topic of global warming and atmospheric trapping of CO2 was a heated topic with others that firmly believe in the theory without evidence. He said that the evidence of human causation will never be there. He explained that one of greatest enemies of communications in the space program is the sun. The sun apparently goes through cycles like everything else,has flares, spots, different radiation emmisions and that the earth temperatures are actually cooler. Ice does melt and then reforms.Ocean salinety changes. In other words, as he put it “the earth is in constant flux”, and that” those that seek to isolate a earth period are fools”.The earth and climate study are a large part of the NASA budget, and subject to the whim of those that authorize the funds.But, he said “chill out” nothing can change. Polution is a different matter, so he did suggest that you pick up after yourself.Swemson, we are in deep trouble and need to fight this fictitous pseudo-science and need to constantly and relentlessly refute false science and reveal the true purpose.

Judy, just to clarify a few small details in what you wrote:
There was some evidence to support the AGW theory in the late 1970’s, 80’s. From 1975 to 1998, our temperatures did rise pretty quickly. Of course if you looked at the rise in relation to past climate history, it wasn’t that drastic, or even that big of a rise, but during those years, the rate of rise did coincide with a similar rate of rise of man-made CO2… So it wasn’t unusual that some observers credited the rise on the increase of CO2… Of course they got their entire theory ass backwards, as several scientists have proved beyond a doubt that the increasing temperature actually created the increase in atmospheric CO2, and not the other way around as many scientists believed.
Before the AGW theory had been debunked, England got into a bit of a mess because the coal miners there were on strike, so, without really understanding the science of this at all, Maggie Thatcher jumped on the idea that coal emissions were causing climate change as a political weapon to fight the miners with, in essence threatening that a big move towards alternative clean fuels would scare them into submission…
It wasn’t Thatcher’s intention of course, to start the present hysteria, but she WAS the first well-known politician to advocate the theory…
Humans however, throughout history, have always greeted climate change as being catastrophic. At first they thought of it as god punishing us for our sins… but we never really got over that, in large part due to the media.. Why the media ? Because catastrophes sell newspapers !
This current “crisis” is the 4th to take place in the last hundred years alone. The last one ended in 1975, after 35 years of cooling which everyone was afraid was heralding the onset of another ice age. The following actual article from Newsweek 39 years ago tells the story..
http://denisdutton.com/newsweek_coolingworld.pdf
Your cousin is absolutely right that man is incapable of having any significant impact on our climate, and yes, pollution is indeed a serious problem… But I can assure you that if we (all govts combined) spent half of the money ($50 Billion) that we’ve pissed away on trying to find a way to change our climate on cleaning up pollution, and finding ways to clean up our emissions, the world we’re living in would be far cleaner….. And the only facts about climate that we must all learn to understand are that warming isn’t to be feared… warming is GOOD.. the earth thrives during warm periods, the CO2 that comes with it causes all vegetation and forests to grow like crazy, and…… that the only constant about climate, is that it is ALWAYS changing…
The last component of this HOAX, however, that really pisses me off the most, and that ties together all the things that I’ve been saying about the far left intentionally trying to tear our country down, is the fact that the idea that we’re quickly running out of natural resources is complete and total rubbish.
In the last several years we have discovered such huge oil & gas reserves in our territorial waters that geologists are beginning to suspect that we have BIGGER oil reserves than Saudi Arabia. And as drilling techniques get more sophisticated, we’ll be able to access far more than we even know about today…. The Alaskan reserves in Anwar are at least 10 times bigger than the radical environmentalists say they are. In many respects, they’ve taken over from the American Communist Party in the way they try to manipulate and control the country…
This CRIMINAL government of ours is actually letting the Chinese drill in the Gulf of Mexico (and I’m sure they’re getting something under the table for that) while refusing to let Americans drill to supply our own domestic needs. Our known reserves on the continental shelf on BOTH coasts are almost impossible to even measure, and nobody is even counting how much oil we have in shale in the north central states & Canada. Maybe now that Ted Kennedy is dead, we’ll be allowed to drill off the coast of Cape Cod…. (PS: Oil rigs actually stimulate the growth of fisheries)
America has sufficient oil reserves to cover 100% of our own needs for the next hundred years or more. We could easily solve our economic problems by paying China in oil for all of the stuff we buy from them… We have so much, that we could afford to undercut our enemies, Venezuela, the Arab oil Sheiks, as well as the Russian thugs, who are now using their oil riches to expand their sphere of influence.. The non-oil producing countries, many of whom are not that crazy about of America, would forget their hatred & jealousy in a NY minute, as soon as we start offering them the oil they need at the best prices…. We could easily be restored to the status of the wealthiest nation on earth, by a far bigger margin than we ever were before.
The licensing fees that the government could receive from the production companies that drill for it would be enough to pay off our national debt, and ALL of the expenses of running the country for at least the next 50 years or so, thereby eliminating all taxes…
It’s all possible, if only we could clean out the sewer on the Potomac.
I may be off a hair on some of the details, but all of what I’ve said above is true. We have it all here, all we need is a rational and honest government that works for US and not for themselves, and every single problem that we’re facing goes away in a relatively short number of years…
The only thing standing in our way, is the far left elements in our own corrupt government…
We need a new constitutional convention where we can strengthen the few weak spots in our Constitution, redefine what the govt can and cannot do in strong, clear and specific terms, and set up an electoral system with serious term limits that will prevent the possibility of this kind of corruption from ever happening again…

Swemson, I agree. Bart gave a long synopsis of essentially the same data only with more analysis that was mind-numbing. But, he stated that the concerns with CO2 is a fallacy since like the human body needs the “CO2-drive” to trigger respiration, the earth functions on CO2 in much the same way. Global warming in his analysis was infinately preferable to cooling as the oceans to our bodies are dependent upon heat to survive. Cooling inhibits all mechanisms of life. What troubles me the most is how this has caught fire without scientific data. I don’t mean photos that are contrived. I mean, that the world is repleat with scientists that are able to just that. Study. Julis is right when she says that no one wants to bite the hand that doles out the grants. David is right when he uses the word “nudge”. The name of a book by Cass Sunstein is “Nudge” and it represents moving a population toward a goal that they do not desire. You “nudge” them along. However, I do believe that along with nudging Obama, we should not give up on the in your face tactic so that our dissention becomes ignored. We must us the tactics of the Progressives and take it straight out of their playbook. This is why they are so furious with the tea-parties and the march on Washington. Never in their wildest nightmare did they expect dissent on that scale. By this constant pounding we can make it a issue not to be ignored and hopefully nudge Obama to a more moderate stand. The next year is going to be very interesting. Stand strong in the truth.

Why do we still complain about the unamerican behaviour of Barak Obama?
Didn’t the American voters knew what to expect all along? Didn’t Mr Horowitz, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly and many others warned for years what a menace he was for the safety of this nation?
Mr. Obama didn’t betray the confidence of the people; It was the people who voted for him who betrayed THE NATION!!

“Since the year 2000, thousands of super, high-tech sensor buoys, referred to as ARGO’s (Array for Real-Time Geostrophic Oceanography) have been deployed world wide in oceans deep–in the service of “global warming research”–. Every ten days they rise to the surface, “gathering data about each strata of seawater they pass through”, explains the Vancouver Sun. Excited researchers hailed the ARGO buoys as the most sophisticated data collectors ever—that is, until the data started coming in. Now, scientists are busy spinning the results, because the little bouys are not giving them the results they want to hear. Since 2004, the oceans aren’t warming, they are actually cooling. Josh Willis of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory sniffed that the recorded temperature drop was “not anything really significant”. He explained: “It may be that we are in a period of less rapid warming”??? And you man-made global warming hoaxers are in a period of less rapid credibility. Ironically, it wasn’t long after I first read this report that someone on PBS was interviewing a marine biologist, asking him why a lot of fish (I think they were sharks, I might be wrong about that) were coming so close to the shores in a certain area. He exclaimed, “it’s because of global warming”. Apparently, he hasn’t caught up with the data yet. In the words of the professor of Economics at the University of Georgia who wrote an article entitled, “The US Tax System Explained With Beer”, (you really should try to locate that article), “to those who understand, no explanation is needed—to those who don’t, no explantion is possible”. That’s all I have to say.

There was actually an article in the NY Times a few months back that claimed that the summer’s record low temperatures were caused by……
Are you ready sports fans….
Yup.. they were caused by Global Warming !!!
They were all reaching that ocean levels were going to rise so much that they would wipe out most waterfront communities…
The only thing that’s rising that much is the bulls*~t level in Washington DC…

Swemson,
“And as much as I like you, I’m beginning to think that you’re far too “Moderate” if that’s the right word, to truly understand HOW ugly, evil and dangerous what’s going on in our great country really is right now…”
Thank you my friend. I do have centrist and moderate tendencies which I won’t apologize for. On my conservative chessboard analogy I consider myself a Knight. You would be a Rook. Therefore it’s your responsibility for you to push me when I’m not going far enough and for me to calm you down when you go too far.
“but we clealy see things from a different angle…”
This is a good thing. Maybe if we see things from different angles we’ll get a more complete, accurate picture. Multiple angles are necessary.
“I was talking ONLY about the members, like me, who read what you guys write & then discuss it here…
Yes.. I think a lot more of US, think Obama is a traitor than you might think…”
Thinking doesn’t make it so. And the fact that large numbers of people think something doesn’t make it true. Here’s a comparison you’ll appreciate: last time I saw the stats majorities in this country believed in creationism and angels. So people can think what they want. It doesn’t mean that the map they’ve drawn in their head is an accurate representation of the territory.
