This video is the rage among the Global Warming denial sect, as they pass it around and post it with great glee following Carlin's death. Their RIP is a celebration that George was one of theirs.

You got people around you.

The country's full of them right now, people walking around all day long, every minute of the day, worried about everything ...

the greatest arrogance of them all, Save the Planet.  ...

I'm getting tired of this shit.

Celebrate George "Global Warming Denier" Carlin!

...

Hold on a second now ...

Greening the School House

Last month, to far (FAR) less attention than it merited, the House of Representatives (facing an Administration veto threat) passed the 21st Century Green High-Performing Public School Facilities Act with $20 billion for greening public schools across the nation.

Taking aggressive action to green schools is about one of the smartest steps the nation can take, action that should go beyond bipartisanship to true unity of action as it is a win-win-win-win strategy along so many paths:

  • Save money for communities and taxpayers

  • Create employment

  • Foster capacity for 'greening' the nation

  • Reduce pollution loads

  • Improve health

  • Improve student performance / achievement

  • And, well, other benefits. In the face of these benefits, "The White House threatened a veto, saying it was wrong for the federal government to launch a costly new school-building program."

    Text of today's Joint Statement of the Science Academies of the G8+5:

    Climate Change Adaptation and the Transition to a Low Carbon Society

    Since 2005, the Academies of Science for the G8+5 countries have called on world leaders to limit the threat of climate change. We have advised prompt action to deal with the causes of climate change and
    cautioned that some climate impacts are inevitable. However, progress in reducing global greenhouse gas emission has been slow.

    In 2007 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reaffirmed that climate change is happening and that anthropogenic warming is influencing many physical and biological systems. Average global temperatures increased by 0.74ºC between 1906-2005 and a further increase of 0.2ºC to 0.4ºC in the next 20 years is expected. Further consequences are therefore inevitable, for example, from losses of polar ice and sea-level rise.

    Key vulnerabilities include water resources, food supply, health, coastal settlements and some ecosystems (particularly arctic, tundra, alpine, and coral reef). The most sensitive regions are likely to include the Arctic, Africa, small islands and the densely populated Asian mega-deltas.

    Will-fully Ignorant

    We could easily ask: Washington Post editors, are you idiots? In publishing George F. Will's Carbon Power Brokers, the Post editorial board is complicit in the dissemination of deceptiveness and falsehoods surrounding policy making on what likely will be the most significant issue of the 21st century. The Post published this deceptive drivel the day before the US Senate begins debating the Lieberman-Warner Climate inSecurity Act. While, clearly, I have quite serious problems with the CiSA and do not support its passage, this debate and discussion should be on the basis of fact and truth, rather then deceit and truthiness.

    Join me for a stroll through Will's willful ignorance ...

    Physicians take a Socially Responsible Stand

    ( - promoted by melvin)

    The Physicians for Social Responsibility have stepped with a strong statement about the Lieberman-Warner Climate inSecurity Act's inadequacies and requirements for strengthening it.
    In June the U.S. Senate will begin debate on legislation to address global warming.  The Climate Security Act, S. 3036, fails to meet the scientific targets that will be necessary to avoid the worst affects of climate change.

    Absolutely,the Coal Subsidy Act fails to meet any reasonable definition of scientific targets, despite Barbara Boxer's misleading claim that this follows scientific advice.
