Harry Reid Watch: Coal and Oil Make US Sick
Democrat Senate Majority leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) proclaims that “coal makes us sick and oil makes us sick…”
Harry Reid who last year proclaimed that the Iraq War was lost now says that coal and oil make us sick.
So, what do you propose Senator lay off all of the coal and oil industry workers and do what?
Nuclear power?
No, you are against that too.
Back to the horse and buggy, and candles I presume……

Sorry Al, Flap does NOT believe your vision of global warming. You have politicized a world scientific issue for your own financial gain.
Many scientists have refuted your findings and many countries wish to exploit your hysteria to put a damper on American business.
To Flap this is LOSE LOSE for America.

Michael Ramirez on Global Warming and Intelligence Services
Intelligence chief OK’s global warming study
The question of whether the country’s spy agencies, already burdened by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as the global hunt for members of Al Qaeda, ought to investigate the security implications of global warming has been debated in Congress for several weeks.
A provision requiring a national intelligence estimate on climate change was in the 2008 intelligence authorization bill that the House passed Friday. The amount of the authorization is classified but it is believed to be about $48 billion, which would be the largest intelligence authorization ever considered by Congress.
Republicans had tried to defeat the provision on the national intelligence estimate, saying that intelligence resources were too precious to be used to study the impact of climate change.
“Let other federal agencies, as more than a dozen already do, cover the ‘bugs and bunnies.’ But let our spies be spies,” Representative Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, wrote Thursday in a Wall Street Journal op-ed article.
Good grief. But, it is ONLY $48 billion.
They spend taxpayer money like it is water in Washington. And what did American voters expect from a Democrat controlled Congress?
Hell, the GOP couldn’t resist spending.

Michael Ramirez on Sheryl Crow and the One Square of Toilet Paper
Rosie to Sheryl Crow: “Have You Seen My Ass?”
The answer, presumably, is no — but Rosie made her point, pooh-poohing Sheryl Crow for suggesting that we all use just one square of toilet paper per trip to the loo.
Crow made her comments on her blog last week, and Rosie took a moment on this morning’s “The View” to express her incredulity at the supposedly enviro-friendly suggestion. “Have you seen my ass?!” bellowed Rosie, and Barbara Walters was good enough to warn viewers not to use their sleeves, another of Crow’s helpful suggestions.
Ewwwww
Flap does not think he would shake hands with Crow either. No wonder Lance Armstrong had the better sense…….
But, it WAS A JOKE!
Hummmmmmm

Cox & Forkum: Stretching the Truth
Cox & Forkum: Stretching the Truth
The Telegraph: Scientists threatened for ‘climate denial’.
Scientists who questioned mankind’s impact on climate change have received death threats and claim to have been shunned by the scientific community.
They say the debate on global warming has been “hijacked” by a powerful alliance of politicians, scientists and environmentalists who have stifled all questioning about the true environmental impact of carbon dioxide emissions.
Timothy Ball, a former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg in Canada, has received five deaths threats by email since raising concerns about the degree to which man was affecting climate change.
One of the emails warned that, if he continued to speak out, he would not live to see further global warming.
“Western governments have pumped billions of dollars into careers and institutes and they feel threatened,” said the professor.
“I can tolerate being called a sceptic because all scientists should be sceptics, but then they started calling us deniers, with all the connotations of the Holocaust. That is an obscenity. It has got really nasty and personal.”
Last week, Professor Ball appeared in The Great Global Warming Swindle, a Channel 4 documentary in which several scientists claimed the theory of man-made global warming had become a “religion”, forcing alternative explanations to be ignored.
Richard Lindzen, the professor of Atmospheric Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology – who also appeared on the documentary – recently claimed: “Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves labelled as industry stooges.
“The Great Global Warming Swindle” is an excellent British documentary that shows how global warming is treated as a religious orthodoxy that cannot be questioned. Little Green Footballs has posted the Flash version of the film. YouTube has a version in eight parts for easier viewing starting here. (LGF also noted an article about an oceanographer who says his views were misrepresented in the film).
But, if it were about EVOLUTION, then what would be the response……..?

Houston Chronicle: Climate scientists feeling the heat
As public debate deals in absolutes, some experts fear predictions ‘have created a monster’
Scientists long have issued the warnings: The modern world’s appetite for cars, air conditioning and cheap, fossil-fuel energy spews billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, unnaturally warming the world.
Yet, it took the dramatic images of a hurricane overtaking New Orleans and searing heat last summer to finally trigger widespread public concern on the issue of global warming.
Climate scientists might be expected to bask in the spotlight after their decades of toil. The general public now cares about greenhouse gases, and with a new Democratic-led Congress, federal action on climate change may be at hand.
Problem is, global warming may not have caused Hurricane Katrina, and last summer’s heat waves were equaled and, in many cases, surpassed by heat in the 1930s.
In their efforts to capture the public’s attention, then, have climate scientists oversold global warming? It’s probably not a majority view, but a few climate scientists are beginning to question whether some dire predictions push the science too far.
“Some of us are wondering if we have created a monster,” says Kevin Vranes, a climate scientist at the University of Colorado.
But, Al Gore was already a MONSTER…….
