Something Wicked This Way Comes: Obama's climate-change initiative
I was reading one of dozens of slamdowns of Thomas Pickety's book "Capitalism in the Twenty First Century" which I should read if Mainstream outlets dislike it so much, when I saw this paragraph about Obama's climate-change initiative. Keep in mind ENERGY and the "Climate Change" debate. Keep in mind the relationship between powerful energy related corporations and their subsidies - now threatened by improving solar and wind energy and remember on whose behalf the White House and Congress typically act - lobbyists. Expect controversy, distraction, and misdirection.
The article reads:
WILL 97% OF SCIENTISTS LIKE THE COSTS OF CARBON RULES?
The Journal reports that next week the Obama administration will "unveil a cornerstone of its climate-change initiative with a proposed rule aimed at allowing states to use cap-and-trade systems, renewable energy and other measures to meet aggressive goals for reducing carbon emissions by existing power plants.
"Energy companies and others affected by the proposal will be watching for key details, including the percentage by which companies and states must reduce carbon emissions, which is expected to be proposed in a range instead of a single number. The baseline year against which those reductions are calculated will also be closely monitored."
As the price tag comes into view for measures aimed to prevent global warming, Americans may wish to reflect on whether the benefits really justify the costs. Joseph Bast and Roy Spencer write in today's Journal that "the assertion that 97% of scientists believe that climate change is a man-made, urgent problem is a fiction. The so-called consensus comes from a handful of surveys and abstract-counting exercises that have been contradicted by more reliable research."

Reading "Energy and Climate Wars"
It pains me to read this subjective slant from Peter Glover and Michael Economides. It is 100% pupe fossil fuel propaganda with a dabble of good facts, like those debunking climate change.
But this paragraph pisses me off. The way he describes leaders of Iran, Venezuela, and Russia can only be described as neoliberal Anglo American financial warfare.

#UNAgenda21 Creeps Into California Land Use Policy
Don't be duped by benevolent sounding animal loving tree huggers touting open space.
Open Spaces = Losing Property Rights
Private property rights in California are being subjected to Agenda 21, a United Nation's declaration on the collective society's right to control private property.

The Truth on #ClimateChange and #GlobalWarming
CLIMATE CHANGE IS VERY REAL - BUT THE OFFICIALS HAVE JEOPARDIZED OUR ABILITY TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE
Global warming models/predictions have been an abject failure for 20 years, and yet the IPCC claims ever-higher certainty?
How does this happen and what comes next?
