The common ploy of of government and the public servants is to introduce a minor fee for new legislation. Us dummies say "that's not too bad, I can handle that" but once introduced and bedded down as a new fee it's sooooo easy to increase. In fact they dont call it a monitary fee they will call them units and have a unit fee. this way they dont have to change anything other than the unit value by regulation. Beware the committee! once formed they will have to make a new rule everytime they meet to justify their existance. We started with the ten commandments - have you ever seen a QC going to court? wheelbarrow of books required. Say no more. I should start a new party I have the slogan "Guy Fawkes was right"

Sometimes arguments are made as if "skeptics" want something unusual. How about the facts. Simple and unadorned. "May 31, 2011 Virginia university releases correspondence of professor involved in ‘Hockey Stick’ controversy " "American Tradition Institute’s Environmental Law Center has learned that George Mason University, in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from USA Today, promptly released an academic’s correspondence and related records of the same class as those sought by ATI from the University of Virginia regarding former assistant professor Michael Mann. This provides a new complication for UVA’s argument that its delay and withholding of records are consistent with practice and the Commonwealth’s FOI Act, regarding ATI’s long-stalled (more than 4 ½ months) request. " But wait U of V needs a court to interpret the law and demand compliance. "Last week ATI’s request for Mann’s records went before a Prince William County judge, who ordered that UVA provide the taxpayer-underwritten records to ATI in electronic form within 90 days. In addition ATI has won the right, under a protective order, to look at all the documents beginning no later than September 21, including those the University refuses to make public via claimed exemptions.

Ah Greenland! Ah history! FOIA required in some sectors to get the why of the spin. "Greenland and AGW" "Unfortunately for them, an English Climatologist, Hubert H Lamb, first formulated the idea of a Medieval Warming Period (MWP) in 1965 and other surveys have found that this warming did not just occur in the northwestern hemisphere but was global (6). Lamb founded the UK Climate Research Unit (CRU) in 1971 and until the mid 1990s the MWP was undisputed fact and was shown even in the IPPC progress report of 1990. But Dr David Darning (University of Oklahoma College of Earth and Energy) in his recent testimony to Congress (7) said ‘…I received an astonishing email from a major researcher in the area of climate change. It said “We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period”’ And this the ‘warmist’ Climatologists certainly tried to do. In 1998 a graph was produced by geophysicist Michael Mann, known as the Hock Stick Graph’, which managed to almost air-brush out of existence the Medieval Warming Period . This was published in the eminent scientific magazine Nature and also in several places in the IPPC Report of 2001 and created a world-wide sensation. Here was proof positive the world was overheating and it was All Our Fault. However, investigation of the graph by historians and climatologists who doubted the existence of global warming, brought criticism centred around the statistical method used and the associated computer programme. It was eventually called the most discredited study in the history of science and quietly dropped by the IPPC from the latest 2007 IPPC report for policy makers. The Hockey Stick graph had also attempted to remove the Little Ice Age which was another world-wide event, lasting from roughly the early 14th century to the mid-19th century with short interspersed warm periods. It is well-known from written reports that temperatures must at times have been considerably lower than in the Medieval Warming Period since Frost Fairs were often held on the frozen Thames until 1814 and in 1658, during the coldest period of the Little Ice Age, King Karl X Gustav of Sweden led an army across the frozen Danish waters to lay siege to Copenhagen." wattsupwiththat.com/2011/06/01/greenland-and-agw/#more-40812 |

Can anyone question the wisdom of Eisenhower's prophetic speech now? The NAS is exactly what he was warning about. |

magellan:
If ONLY people would remember President Eisenhower's prophetic speech. Not only for unchecked government science, but the MIC as well.
We are suffering greatly as a nation because of both.

Never have so few done so much harm to so many over nothing. "Vote Blue, Go Green, Ruin Britain" "Sometimes it takes a trip abroad properly to ram home just how screwed your country is. And so it proved when, on the deck of a Baltic cruise ship, I first read reports of Scottish Power’s dramatic gas and electricity price rises. Instead of experiencing a wave of fury, as no doubt I would have done at home, what I felt instead was the sort of detached, sardonic amusement an alien might feel on viewing from outer space a once-great civilisation destroying itself over an issue of immeasurable triviality. That issue, of course, is “Climate Change”. Never before in history, I doubt, has so much money ever been squandered, so much suffering and poverty exacerbated, so much economic damage been inflicted, so many lies promulgated and so much environmental destruction wrought in order to deal with a problem so microscopically miniscule." blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100091710/vote-blue-go-green-ruin-britain/ |
