American Thinker Blog: Global Warm-mongering: More Silk from a Pig’s Ear

It seems that NASA’s James Hansen, head of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), is at it again. He just can’t let the data speak for itself. In yet another egregious display of Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) arrogance, he changed the temperature data from 1910-2008 to reflect what is clearly a cooling trend to reflect a warming trend. (Y-axis = Annual Mean Temperatures in centigrade; X-axis = Year)

Because Hansen changes history (even 100-year-old records) regularly without explanation and always to make present seem relatively warmer than past dates, we have every reason to believe that James Hansen is a fraud and liar who made a big mistake before Congress 20 years ago and has been stealing government money to disguise that error ever since.

Don’t we have a bureau to investigate misappropriation of government money?

Of course, I could be wrong.  He might just be a really bad scientist.  There is some evidence to support this possibility.  He makes a LOT of mistakes and with increasing frequency.  It’s possible that he is suffering from the beginning stages of dementia.  If that’s so, why don’t his healthier colleagues and assistants catch his errors–like publishing September temperatures as October temperatures?

Either way–incompetence or criminality–he should be removed from work at NASA and his opinions (they are nothing but that) disregarded among serious scientists.

The fact is that temperatures have been falling for 10 years which violates all the models every built in support of human-caused global warming.  That irrefutable fact so enrages AGW worshippers that they are rendered incapable of rational thought–which would lead them to my position.  They would acknowledge our vast ignorance rather than feign infinite wisdom.

Obama: ‘Trillion-Dollar Deficits For Years’ – Capital Commerce (usnews.com)

Just mindblowing. Here is #44 today (via the AP):

Obama said Tuesday the deficit appears on track to hit $1 trillion soon. Speaking to reporters after meeting with top economic aides, Obama said: “Potentially we’ve got trillion-dollar deficits for years to come, even with the economic recovery that we are working on.”

If Obama really believes that the world economy will tolerate annual deficits north one trillion dollars, he will receive a belated economics education in short order.

Such deficits won’t won’t work. Already investors are losing their fascinations with US Treasuries, realizing wisely that cash is better than zero interest treasuries. Once the treasuries market dries up, the government will have to choose between massive tax increases, which will spawn a deep depression, or massive inflation, will create massive misery.

Very quickly, the government in Washington must come to realize that returning to essential governmental functions–and no more–is the only option.

Begin by dissolving the Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, and Veterans Affairs. Eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts and the EPA. Not sure we need NASA, but we might be able to find a private buyer.

The Constitution itemizes the essential operations of government in Article I constricted by the Bill of Rights. Read and understand these limited powers–they are in your future.
