Lee commented on the article |Much of what we have read about climate change is bogus, especially the computer modelling on which much current scientific opinion is based, which is primitive at best. Errors and distortions in computer modelling will be exposed in time. (As if on cue, the United Nations' peak scientific body on climate change was obliged to make an embarrassing admission recently that some of its computers models were wrong.)
Noted Australian geologist Ian Plimer does not dispute the dramatic flux of climate change - and this column is not about Australia's water debate - but he fundamentally disputes most of the assumptions and projections being made about the current causes, mostly led by atmospheric scientists, who have a different perspective on time. "It is little wonder that catastrophist views of the future of the planet fall on fertile pastures. The history of time shows us that depopulation, social disruption, extinctions, disease and catastrophic droughts take place in cold times … and life blossoms and economies boom in warm times. Planet Earth is dynamic. It always changes and evolves. It is currently in an ice age."
If we look at the last 6 million years, the Earth was warmer than it is now for 3 million years. The ice caps of the Arctic, Antarctica and Greenland are geologically unusual. Polar ice has only been present for less than 20 per cent of geological time.
What follows is an intense compression of his book's 500 pages and all their provocative arguments and conclusions:
Is dangerous warming occurring? No.
Is the temperature range observed in the 20th century outside the range of normal variability? No.
The Earth's climate is driven by the receipt and redistribution of solar energy. Despite this crucial relationship, the sun tends to be brushed aside as the most important driver of climate. Calculations on supercomputers are primitive compared with the complex dynamism of the Earth's climate and ignore the crucial relationship between climate and solar energy.
"To reduce modern climate change to one variable, CO2, or a small proportion of one variable - human-induced CO2 - is not science. To try to predict the future based on just one variable (CO2) in extraordinarily complex natural systems is folly. Yet when astronomers have the temerity to show that climate is driven by solar activities rather than CO2 emissions, they are dismissed as dinosaurs undertaking the methods of old-fashioned science." -
Lee commented on the article |One thing not mentioned above is that these people committed violations of international law and not US law. I'm afraid Emily you are wrong about GITMO. The CIA pushed for it to be opened only because no other country wanted to house these people.
US law does not apply here, therefore these people should not have access to the US court system or the prison system for that matter. Anyone see the news about the 4 who were arrested recently? They were converted into Muslim extremeists in Prison. -
Lee commented on the article |
Four men were arrested recently for allegedly plotting a terror attack on two Bronx synagogues and an Air National Guard flight. They possessed a car load of explosives and a Stinger missile they believed to be real (fortunately, it was not).
What do the four men have in common? More than you would ever guess.
Laguerre Payen, Onta Williams, David Williams, and James Cromitie all had violent pasts. All had recently served time in an American prison or jail. Most significantly, all four men exited their prison time as Muslims.
None appears to have been born Muslim; however, the time in an American prison resulted in their embracing the supposed religion of peace, Islam.
How can this be? Very simple. For decades, Islamic groups have strategically targeted American prison populations as a fertile field for growth and as a seedbed for homegrown terrorists. What we are seeing now is merely the fruit of that missionary effort by groups like the National Islamic Prison Foundation, formerly run by a top Al-Qaeda fund-raiser who himself is now behind bars, the Islamic Assembly of North America, and the Islamic Society of North America. Much of these groups' funding comes from Saudi Arabian proponents of Wahhabism, the most violent segment within Islam. A little-noted editorial in Investors' Business Daily clearly articulated this threat back in 2007. The recent arrests made that warning all the more real.

Lee commented on the article |9 degree increase by century's end? Is that after the planet has finished cooling? We are in a global cooling period which is expected to last for decades. Ice is also regrowing at rapid rates. Certainly 31000 scientists can't be wrong?

Lee commented on the article |I have many Gay friends and relatives that are as well. I have no problem with them being with people of the same sex.
What is not mentioned in this article is that in the bible, God says "You shall not lie with a man as one lies with a woman, it is an abomination." (Leviticus 18:22)
In California and in many other states, the people voted against gay marriage. If the people are not for it, why try and force it on them? It is not apartheid at all. To think so is just ridiculous. -
Lee commented on the article |It's hard to find the right public school with decent teachers. It's too bad that Obama doesn't care about the poor kids (the stimulus package stopped the voucher program in the DC public schools - which allowed kids who were in an awful school a voucher for a better one public or private). The way to fix public schools? 1) Get rid of the unions and 2) Decentralize the schools by giving the principals their own budgets and making them the defacto CEO of their own school. Only then will public schools in the USA have a chance at succeeding.
