theobromophileAfter we we speculated Monday night as to the identity of the true author of the Rockefeller-Snowe letter to ExxonMobil, I happened to look at the site-tracking meter which tells me a little bit about who happens drops by NN&V.
We had visitors.
Following the trail back to the origin of one particular visit, I found none other than environmentaldefense.org. Environmental Defense was named in the Taranto editorial as one of the organiztions aligned against the global warming “deniers”. They are a determined group. Indeed, their legislative point-person, Melissa Carey has boldly declared, “2007 is the year we need to start making law. “
“The special interests who have tried to prevent global warming action have used scare tactics, warning of huge economic costs. They don’t want Congress to understand that if we fight global warming the smart way – by setting a national cap on pollution and creating market incentives for industry to innovate – we not only cut emissions, but we give businesses the opportunity and flexibility to do it efficiently and at a long-term net cost savings.
“And you know what? We’re winning.”
Sounds a little bit like our letter-writer doesn’t she.
I find it interesting that the same people who are most relieved to hear new Sec-Def Gates say that “we are not winning” in Iraq are so excited about the prospects of claiming victory, and ramming home this legislation, the Climate Stewardship Act. And, although I half-jokingly referred to the religious fervor of the global warming enthusiastists as the “GAS Crowd” (Gaiaist Apopcalyptic Syndrome), it is their arrogance self-righteousness that they must not be questioned which makes me want to push back and question them. And not only their science, but the motives behind their apocalyptic conclusions as well.
Fred Krupp, GAS President, in a website blurb made this comment:
Like other Americans, we reviewed our priorities after the September 11 attacks on the United States. We concluded that our job is to preserve a world worth defending.
Unlike Mr. Krupp and the rest of the GAS Crowd, we also reviewed our priorities after the September 11 attacks on the United States, and concluded that our first job is to preserve life and liberty. Without these, who will be left to preserve the world? In their blind devotion to a cause, Krupp and the GAS Crowd endanger the very world they claim to want to preserve.
Much more eloquently stated by Lord Nigel Lawson, (from The American Thinker)
The irrationality and intolerance of Eco-fundamentalism, says Lawson, regards the “questioning of its mantras” as “a form of blasphemy.” And he concludes with an apocalyptic vision of his own – and one far more devastating in its consequences than Climate Change: “There is no greater threat to the people of this planet than the retreat from reason we see all around us today.”

Well-well-well!
So they took a moment from their busy schedule of blind ideological pursuit, to see what their skeptics are saying.
Hey Melissa, get a clue bat or some batteries, or something. Your obsession with how we should live our lives, and your arrogance to think that man can destroy this planet, when five mass extinctions couldn’t, is beyond audience comprehension.
Perhaps organizing efforts to stop volcanoes from spewing their sulphuric gases and particulates, forcing herd animals to abstain from flatulence, and protesting asteroid strikes on our globe, would be time better spent.
That Lord Lawson, what a deep thinker, and a world class wordsmith.
batteries, heh.
Global warming, just another cause to extort money from the gullible.
Yeah, global warming and socialized medicine are two of the big love fests of the progressive.
Yup, it’s all about da’money.
Senator Bond’s opening statement in the EPW hearing today.
Exactly! The proponents of global warming are far more interested in personal enrichment than what will happen to the “poor” who will have to pony up far more money for food, heat, shelter, cooling, transportation, and electrical costs.
This plan to clear the people out and let nature take its course has been out there a long time.
Thus making those ordinary folks, now jobless and without the means to feed or shelter their families adequately, will then turn to their anti-capitalism, big government friends for some crumbs. They will be dependent on government, just as the socialist always wanted.
Henh…Swampie, that treatise was written by a graduate student at Rutgers.
Let me think for a moment, is Rutgers a hot bed of liberal thought..yes.
Yes, I thought it was quite fitting that somebody from New Jersey was going to solve all the problems of the great plains.
Rutgers had a good football team this year. I mean for the Big East.
The idea of putting people in cities and returning the great plains to the bison has been put forth frequently; this is just the first publication of the idea that I’ve been able to find. There may be some preceding that which I have not yet run across.
Thw Poppers state that the most likely areas for de-population would be those areas farthest from interstate highways.
Now, what would be more expensive
1) Buying up all of the private land and relocating untold thousands of families to the cities?
or
2) Building more interstate highways?
Nuke, so did Michigan, and their president is a whacked out moonbat, willing to use the taxpayers funds to file a lawsuit against the voters of Michigan that passed a constitutional amendment banning reverse discrimination in public schools. What a beeyotch!
Funny how some think we should depopulate an area inhabited by people they hold with such scorn.
Oh, they have an answer for that little problem, nuke. It was pioneered by the infamous power broker of NY, Rober Moses. It’s called appropiation through condemnation.
Sounds like ethnic cleansing
So many are completely ignorant about animal behavior, silvaculture, and agriculture. They do not know about the interaction between herbivores and the environment. They protect wild horses beyond the carrying capacity of the land. They protect deer beyond the carrying capacity of the land and to the degredation of forests. Then they introduce predators, and protect them too beyond the capacity of the land. They do not know what happens when they protect mountain lions, for exammple, or bears and they lose their fear of humans. They do not know that to a carnivore, they’re just a source of protein that is really easy to catch.
It is. That’s how Moses destroyed vibrant communities, but of course they weren’t his kind of people, and as he was quoted as saying, “if the means don’t justify the ends, what does?”
And I completely distrust any organization that walks around hand-in-hand with the eco-terrorists.
uhh…that should be”ends justify the means.”
I hates me some eco-terrorists, I sho’do. My Lord, I do!
Hey, y’all read that article in Business Week about the Iranian oil production dropping do to lack of maintenance, technology, and exploration and they’re gonna be in deep doo doo for exports in about 10 years? I know, I know, it IS Business Week and not a really credible publication, but still interesting nonetheless.
Dang. DUE, not do.
And speaking of global warming, the temp was supposed to get down to 25 tomorrow night; I immediately set off to Home Depot to buy some pipe insulation for the exposed PVC pipe in the horse and sheep barns, and dang if after I got back the forecast wasn’t changed to a low of 30. Sheesh. I don’t want to put it up until right before the freeze because I have some smartass livestock that likes to chew it off.
Don’t worry, Swampie, their friends in Russia, China, NK, and Venezuela will help them out.
Besides, they will have already unloaded their nuclear arsenal on all of their enemies by then, and the world demand for oil won’t be as great. And they’ll still be dropping messages down the well, as the Hojitah(sp?) are apt to do.
Swampie, just spray some of that sour apple stuff on it, they won’t eat it.
Dang!
Almost eleven, and an end to fun time.
/sure hope Melissa got some batteries
I like BW. Subscribe to the weekly print version
We’re leaving for Michigan on Friday. Forecasted high temp 8 degrees. Yuch
Eight is the high?
/how low can you go
that’s way too cold for me
n2l, check yer email
That is some serious, take me back to Mississippi cold.
Just be careful when you go out at night, especially if they have an open bar at the reception.
We got down to 22 the other night, and late one night, a 71yoa gentleman was going to bed, and his wife said she was stepping outside for a smoke before bed. When he got up, she was not in bed, and he went looking…she died from hypothermia. Apparently she got in trouble and because of her age and health, she went into shock and died in the frigid cold. Shame.
nuke, check yours.
Dang. I don’t think I ever want to be that cold.
Here’s a more in depth analysis of the Iran situation. http://www.twq.com/07winter/docs/07winter_hentov.pdf
Whoops, I think I screwed that link up something fierce. Eyes are burning, probably need to back off the computer a bit.
The link was to the Washington Quarterly, it was looking at different facets of Iran.
Re that 71 year old man waking up and finding his wife outside froze to death, yeah, tell me about it. If I were to get in trouble out in the barn at night, ol’ SwampMan wouldn’t notice until morning, if he noticed it then.
Henh…just noticed there is a spam filter counter.
As for Iran, I read an interesting story over a month ago. The problem with waiting for the Iranians to revolt, is the middle and upper classes have it good, and aren’t motivated. I have kept hoping for the Iranian population to rise up against their tyrrants, but I must concede it isn’t going to happen.
Nope. And the majority of the population doesn’t know any other way of life and you know what they say about better the devil you know.
I found your Washington Qu link and freed it from the spam-trapper.
n2l, check yer box aggin, please
Does he make his own breakfast?
Thanks, Nuke. Better get some work done, so goodnight.
Night Swampie–see ya later
Nah, he has (he tells me) oatmeal at school to microwave; I suspect he gets a sausage biscuit from Hardees.
Yeah, then he might not notice.
/night
Well, cool, then!
Nuke, just try and keep it together when you are around all those liberal yankees. Don’t let the champagne weaken your resolve not to take any of them to task.
Now that was odd.
what was odd?
The alignment.
I dunno. It looks OK to me. I checked IE and in Firefox.
Must be a disturbance in the force.
/see ya later
See ya’nuke.
It’s still doing it on my end. Your posts and number align, but mine don’t.

A very nice epitaph for Donald Rumsfeld’s service as THE Secretary of Defense, the best ever in my view.
Real Clear Politics is outstanding today! Chuckling and agreeing with Captain Obvious to the Rescue. When I really want to annoy SwampMan (who, me?) I restate the problem (oh, the truck won’t start?) and then recommend he fix it.
You are some smart amigos and amigas here at Nuke’s place. You see through the Democrat/Socialist “soft power” grab. Watch for “carbon credits” — taxes you pay to Big Brother/Big Sis and big taxes on our vital energy companies. So people like Al Gore, Hillary Clinton and Obama can decide where energy companies should invest.
It’s a new, smarter and friendlier form of Stalinisim.
Yeah, ol’Barbara Boxer(up and ship her off) has already stated she is gonna get busy with her climate change agenda.
As for Ms. Snowe, she’s gonna get her comeuppance, just you wait and see.
Mick, you gotta check out this blog which gets annoyed at the whole global warming schtick (excerpt):
You want a good laugh, listen to NPR on Saturday mornings. Oh, the smug, green sheeple love to tell us how superior they are. I just bought a must-read book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, Measuring the Real State of the World.
It’s a brilliant book than the Dems don’t want you to read, by Bjorn Lomborg.
Yeah, well those natural people must have been what started the glaciers melting over North America.
Hey Mick.
Here’s a good Opinion Journal piece by Bjorn Lomborg, from last week, that you might like to read.
Will Al Gore Melt?
If not, why did he chicken out on an interview?
[...] warming increases at a rate that caused EDF lobbyist Melissa Carey to boldly proclaim, “You now what? We’re winning“, and political allies to arrogantly insist that “the debate is over”, when in [...]
