In a Fortune interview, noted climatologist John Christy contends the green crusade to fight climate change is “all cost and no benefit.”NEW YORK (Fortune) — With Congress about to take up sweeping climate-change legislation, expect to hear more in coming weeks from John Christy, director of the Earth System Science Center at University of Alabama-Huntsville. A veteran climatologist who refuses to accept any research funding from the oil or auto industries, Christy was a lead author of the 2001 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report as well as one of the three authors of the American Geophysical Union’s landmark 2003 statement on climate change.

This seems to be the argument I hear all the time. There is no scientific proof. Planted by the disinformation specialists and repeated by laypeople the world over. The hell there isn’t!!! There is a massive amount of scientific proof despite the cell phone industry’s attempt to bury it and put pressure on journals not to publish it.
After the first news cycle, the mobile phone industry ‘hit squad’ went into action. First, they planted stories that cast doubt on the Einstein quote. Never before have I seen such a desperate attempt to distance a quote from a figure as revered as Albert Einstein. In the process, his name was besmerched. Very sad. Next, they conscripted scientists from a number of universities to begin going public with other explanations…viruses, bacteria, pesticides etc., etc., etc.. These alternatives have been making the rounds over the past month. The mobile phone industry is putting quite a bit of money into the pockets of these scientists by supporting their work regarding viruses and alternative explanations. The industry is dealing with it as a politics and public relations problem….thus, manipulation of the public perception is the appropriate remedy for them. Sadly, this is business as usual for the mobile phone industry. Read the rest of this entry »

How Google Earth explains the financial crisis

Thu, 05/07/2009 – Foreign policy.com
Want to get a sense of just how bad things are? Take a spin on Google Earth.
The latest issue of International Economy, edited by FP contributor David Smick, has a clever graphic showing the depth of the economic crisis, so I thought I’d share.
The above image, pulled today from Vesseltracker.com’s Google Earth file, shows container ships languishing off the Singapore coast. Welcome to the largest parking lot on Earth. International Economy explains: Read the rest of this entry »

The Fairy tale from Citigroup and the sham “stress” tests

Financial wizardry is just smoke and mirrors

SERIOUS MONEY: THE AUTHOR L Frank Baum was born on this day in 1856. His most enduring work, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz , was published in 1900 and more than a century later remains a favourite among children, writes CHARLIE FELL
Baum’s seemingly-innocent fairytale is viewed by many as an allegory about the rise of the free silver movement in the 1890s and their demands for a bimetallic monetary standard that would ease the restrictions imposed on monetary expansion via the link to gold and help avoid a repeat of the severe depression of 1893.

A New Look at Near Neighbors Part One

A fundamental difference between the standard cosmological and Electric Universe models lies in their views about how the Universe was assembled over time.
According to the standard model, some time after the Big Bang gas and dust clouds organized into stars, stellar clusters, then black holes which merged into super-massive black holes. The super-massive black holes were seeds that gravitationally assembled surrounding gas, dust, and stars into in all the various galactic shapes and sizes. Dark matter halos are also thought to have played a role in gravitationally organizing galaxies.

False Dawn: Trampled Green Shoots

| Trampled Green Shoots
By: Jim Willie CB, GoldenJackass.com |
| — Posted Thursday, 14 May 2009 | Source: GoldSeek.com The so-called ‘Green Shoots’ have been trampled by people walking to their Unemployment Insurance Offices to collect jobless claims in order to pay their bills. The so-called ‘Green Shoots’ have been trampled been people walking (or running) away from their homes as they are being foreclosed. The so-called ‘Green Shoots’ will continue to suffer from most water and nutrients heading to the Elite Gardens, diverted from those on Main Street. The so-called ‘Green Shoots’ have been killed off by a stubborn frost from the USEconomy. A prevailing sentiment and motivation has sadly and perversely entered into the public and financial sectors, with clear deceptive intention. The stretch of the data, the desperate misinterpretation the data, the false facade painted atop a USEconomy, such deceptions cannot stand even the most gentle taste tests and sanity checks. Then again, Wall Street and the USGovt (victim of the financial Coup d’Etat) must promote a positive sentiment in order to reinvigorate confidence. After all, the USDollar-based system depends upon trust and confidence, since no gold backs the financial foundation and debt permeates every crevice. Heck, not even much industry backs the USEconomy, the famed financially engineered miracle gone awry. The principal characteristic of a body that is bankrupt, deeply mired in debt, and must sustain itself by selling debt securities to foreigners is deception. One must struggle mightily to find much of any honesty in USGovt finance or US bank system accounting, economic statistics, or establishment of future prospects. Read the rest of this entry » |

Where have all the Salmon gone?
Posted by smeddum on May 15, 2009
http://www.pcouncil.org/bb/2008/0308/E1c_PC.pdf states
“EMF’s DO affect Salmon. All salmon fishermen know this and understand the importance of
monitoring and controlling the EMF around our vessels. We, as a fleet, spend thousands of
dollars every year to minimize and/or take advantage of the EMF produced by the low voltages
produced by the electrical systems on our vessels. Any unwanted electrical leakage in our
vessels’ systems has a strong negative impact on those vessels’ ability to consistently catch fish.
These vessel electrical charges and the resulting EMF’s are measured in Milli-volts and Milli-
amps. The Wave Energy Buoys will be operating at much higher voltage and amperage.
All of the concerns about EMF’s impacts on the species listed in this section of the FERC letter
also apply to Salmon. In addition, I have a deep concern that any unnatural, new EMF created by
Wave Energy Buoys will interrupt a Salmon’s ability to home on it’s natal stream and be
detrimental in the fishes’ ability to return home for spawning. Most of the proposed Buoy sites,
including the OPT site, are adjacent to the mouths of highly productive coastal Salmon streams. The question of Wave Energy Buoy produced EMFs’ affects on a Salmon’s homing
ability must be answered prior to siting and placement of buoys.”

COLLAPSE! Why do the Salmon Continue to Disappear from Our MotherLode Rivers? By Craig A. Will
WHERE HAVE ALL THE SALMON GONE?
Fewer Chinook salmon returning from the ocean to spawn in the rivers means that fishing will be closed for two successive years. What happened, and what role might Tuolumne and Calaveras counties play in restoring the salmon fishery?
In the fall of 2007, fish biologists counting the number of Chinook salmon returning from the ocean to spawn via the Sacramento River got an unwelcome surprise. Only 87,881 salmon were found in the river – way below the predicted 265,000, and below the minimum goal of 122,000 considered necessary for conserving the fishery. A year later, counts were even lower, with only 66,286 spawners found – the lowest number ever recorded. Read the rest of this entry »
