Surprise, surprise!  After a little research by Anthony Watts, it appears as though some October surface temperature data was conveniently copied directly from the previous month by James Hansen and his global warming patrol over at NASA.  This is a very interesting read and makes you wonder how, if true, such data manipulation could take place.

Al Gore had an editorial piece printed in the New York times today.  It’s full of typical environmentalist talking points but only half of the truth is provided.  Follow along as I share my comments (in bold) under each of Gore’s paragraphs (in italics) so help break down the truth from the hyperbole.  While I’ll only excerpt parts of the opinion piece, the entire op-ed can be read by following the link at the bottom of this post.
[W]e…must make…an emergency rescue of human civilization from the imminent and rapidly growing …

A rock very common in the Earth’s mantle may become part of the solution to global warming. Peridotite is unique because and carbon dioxide exposed to it becomes solid, like calcite. While the mining process to obtain it is prohibitively expensive (can it really be more expensive than carbon taxes??), the rock does appear at the surface on some parts of the globe. How long before this finding is shot down by the pro-tax crowd?

Global warming has suffered another great defeat as two propositions in California related to green initiatives were struck down by voters. Specifically, Proposition 7 would have required utilities to generate 40% of their power from renewable energy by 2020 and 50% by 2025. Proposition 10 would have created $5 billion in bond money to help consumers purchase vehicles with high fuel economy or that ran on alternative fuels. Both propositions were defeated handily in the state.

A zinc mine on Gore’s family farm has halted production due to economic reasons. It has become more expensive to mine the minerals than the profit from selling them. The mine closed for the first time in 2003 but started back up in April of this year. Gore recently asked those mining on his farm to try to limit their pollution. Gore had received about $500,000 in mineral rights until the operation ceased. I guess that’s enough money to only ask the mining company to …

Klockarman from the Gore Lied site has picked up another great article from the Energy Tribune on a meteorologist’s perspective on the media’s global warming bias.  The media is only reporting on the news and not performing the scientific work, obviously.  However, ratings are a huge part of a station’s success, and with declining audiences and changing technology, global warming is too big of a hook to report on objectively.  Doom and gloom sells, and keeps audiences coming back for more.

The article referenced by this post dates to October 2007, but is worthy of a look. A British truck driver didn’t want his child indoctrinated by the global warming hoax, so he sued. Long story short, the court agreed and forced the school system to add a disclaimer when An Inconvenient Truth was shown to students. Want the list of inaccuracies in Gore’s film? Follow the link:

Here’s a great analysis of the carbon tax instituted in British Columbia back on July 1st of this year. While the tax is designed to give some of the revenue back to the citizens, it nets out to about $40 per household. However, as the tax increases over time, there are no provisions to increase the amount people receive in credits.

Let’s see how long it takes for environmentalists to shoot this one down, no pun intended.  A renewed interest in developing nuclear-power airplanes is taking place.  Such an aircraft would allow for many more non-stop flights and zero carbon emissions from the plane itself.  A study into the feasibility of these types of airplanes (specifically, bombers) was conducted in the 1950’s but abandoned in the 1960’s as the development of ballistic missiles made the idea impractical.

Prince Charles has come out again in the news to promote the global warming hoax.  This time, instead of telling us we only have 18 months to curb emissions, he says that we have to cut emissions by 70-80% by 2050.  Also, he says that we are taking our attention away from climate change to focus on the global economic turmoil “at our peril.”
