Beware! Here Come Killer Robots! REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

From May 29, 2015

A computer science professor at Berkeley has warned that “research” by the Defense Dept. (B. Hussein Obama, proprietor) could create “drones which can track and kill targets even when out of contact with their handlers…. the research could breach the Geneva Convention and leave humanity in the hands of amoral machines” ( http://godfatherpolitics.com/22681/killer-robots-will-destroy-us-scientist-warns/ ).

How much worse is that than being at the mercy of immoral and wicked human beings?

I believe Professor Stuart Russell means well, and that he’s trying to warn us against what he sees as a very real danger. He may even be right. Who knows what the DOD lab-rats get up to, behind closed doors?

Naturally, this conjures up visions of The Terminator and other robot menaces. Oh, dear–another thing to worry about! Aaagh, we’re all gonna die! From Global Warming… or Income Inequality, or Homophobia, or Too Much Red Meat in Our Diet and Not Enough Tofu… or the ocean is going to dry up, or else flood over all our coastal cities.. from overpopulation, underpopulation, or simply not enough Trans People to go around. From whatever.

See what terrors you get into, when you don’t believe in God.

If your god is such a patzer that he can’t protect his own creation from little ants and fleas like us, then your god is not God. If your god sent his only son to earth to redeem the human race, and it didn’t work because the human race totally destroyed itself, then your god is not God and your savior is not Jesus Christ.

Wise up, O men of God.

Eco-Nazi Wants to Jail Global Warming Skeptics REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I’m not qualified to analyze anyone’s computer models. But I do think I understand how various kinds of people behave.

At yet another of our revered institutes of higher learning, yet another sage of a college professor calls for the jailing of anyone who denies “Climate Change” or whatever else they’re calling it this week ( http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/michaelschaus/2014/03/16/professor-wants-climate-change-deniers-thrown-in-jail-n1809711 ). This jidrool, by the way, is a professor of philosophy, not science. I won’t mention his name; let someone else give him his 15 minutes of infamy.

America’s universities have become notorious for their intolerance of free speech, let alone dissent. But what’s really at issue here is this:

Honest men do not demand prison for anyone who disagrees with them. Honest men do not jabber, “The science is settled! The debate is closed!” when they’ve been at pains to prevent any debate from ever taking place, and refuse to discuss the issue in public. Honest men do not natter on about carbon footprints and then ride around in stretch limos and private jets.

Ask any policeman what he thinks when someone sees him coming and immediately turns and runs away.

You can tell a lot about people by the way they behave. And the Global Warming mullahs do not behave like honest men.

Global Warming Froze Our Parking Lot REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

From February 15, 2014

As Global Warming continues to pile snow and ice on our neighborhood, we have observed some peculiar behavior.

We pay to park in our neighbors’ lot next door. Because our building doesn’t have a driveway or a parking lot, the only alternative is to park on the street and have our cars buried by the passing snow plows. I gave that up when some drunk totaled my car, speeding down the street in the middle of an ice storm.

Well, everybody’s been getting stuck in this parking lot lately. The owner of half of the lot refuses to have it plowed because he put down gravel in the summer and he doesn’t want the gravel to be plowed up. So it’s a mess.

Next door to the parking lot is a school. Because children must never be allowed more than a minute or two without adult supervision, when school lets out, a mob of cars descends on it–unemployed moms and dads, taking time out from writing poetry and composing geometrical theorems, have to pick up their kids, who must not be allowed to walk home.

In all weather, one of their favorite tricks is to block the entrance to the parking lot next door. But in this weather, they force their cars up the private driveway to wait for their kids on someone else’s private property. Sometimes they get stuck in all the Global Warming. The lout who got stuck yesterday grabbed a tenant’s snow shovel, dug his car free, and left the shovel lying in the middle of the lot as he drove off with his kid.

Oh, look–it’s snowing again! If only we paid higher taxes and gave up all our freedoms, our glorious leaders and scientific sages would put a stop to this weather.

And I am the Sultan of Swat.

The People’s Climate March (Can I Wake Up Now, REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

From September 15, 2014

Yesterday they got 20 inches of snow in Wyoming, and the day before it snowed in South Dakota and Colorado. Here in New Jersey this morning, it was only 41 degrees. And according to the calendar, it’s still summer!

Oh–and both the Arctic and Antarctic ice fields are growing big, big, big…

But never mind all that! The real problem is Global Warming! And so, later this month (Sept. 21), in collusion with the UN Climate Summit, complete with poetess and Global Warming poems, we’ll have… The People’s Climate March.

Got a barf bag handy? Well, you’d better get one, because I’m going to quote from their press release. Take a deep breath; here goes.

“This is an invitation to change everything. In September, world leaders are coming to New York City for a UN summit on the climate crisis. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is urging governments to support an ambitious global agreement to dramatically reduce global warming. [Editor’s note–It’s reducing itself, you numbskulls.]

“With our future on the ljne and the whole world watching, we’ll take a stand to bend the course of history. We’ll take to the streets to demand the world we know is within our reach: a world with an economy that works for people and the planet; a world safe from the ravages of climate change; a world with good jobs, clean air and water, and healthy communities.”

Remember, comrades: The People’s Climate March is “centered on justice… committed to principles of environmental justice and equality–representing the communities that are being hit the hardest by climate change.” ( http://peoplesclimate.org/march/ )

If you were playing Drivel Bingo while reading this, you just won.

Really, how many left-wing cliches can you stuff into a single press release?

Do these jidrools really, truly think that governments can control the weather? Just give the whoopee crowd enough power over your lives, and all your money–and they’ll stop those earthquakes, volcanoes, droughts, floods, hurricanes, etc. What kind of pagan putz believes that?

Oh–and they’ll make everybody equal, too. Will they make my income equal to Nancy Pelosi’s, or her income equal to mine?

Another Desperately Stupid Scheme REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

From January 16, 2015

I had never read this post, somehow.  I checked and yes it is still going on.  There is a bit of pushback going on right now.  This is incredibly short-sighted, stupid and dangerous.  PD

 

It’s too bad we can’t Save the Planet from self-anointed chowderheads who want to Save the Planet.

Here’s a scheme for you. They’ve pumped 1 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the air and stored it underground near Decatur, Illinois, population some 75,000 ( http://wattsupwiththat.com/2015/01/14/1-million-tons-of-pressurised-co2-stored-beneath-decatur-illinois/ ).

So what’s wrong with storing a million tons of pressurized CO2 near a population center?

Here and there, this kind of “storage” occurs in nature. Lake Nyos in Cameroon is such a place. It traps a lot of CO2 in the water, and occasionally an earthquake or some other natural cause disrupts the arrangement and the CO2 escapes as a ground-hugging cloud of unbreathable gas that suffocates every living thing in its path. This happened at Lake Nyos in 1986 and killed some 1,700 people in a sparsely-populated rural area, according to Wikipedia.

The man-made CO2 trap by Decatur is several times larger than the one under Lake Nyos–and heaven help Decatur if an earthquake comes along, or if someone at the monitoring station gets lazy or sloppy or forgetful, or if someone decides to pocket some money by cutting corners on safety and maintenance… Oh, but that would never happen in Illinois! The state’s so full of honest, conscientious men and women who run everything with clean hands.

Why is this a totally dumbass scheme?

In addition to the risks involved, it’d be kind of like trying to store the ocean underground. We’re talking about the earth’s atmosphere, which contains kabillions of tons of CO2.

Know why? Because, among another reasons, animals exhale it. It’s called breathing. And plants consume it, which leads to plans producing oxygen, which animals must breathe. The CO2 in the atmosphere is constantly being regenerated and replaced. It would be impossible to remove enough of it from the atmosphere to make a difference. But a massive, futile effort along those lines sure would cost a lot of money!

So, yeah, let’s see how many Lake Nyos-style CO2 traps we can build, and then see how long it takes for something to go awry with one of them and wipe out a nearby population center.

“Oh, but see!” cries the Global Warming nut. “Even if it goes wrong, it reduces the population! So there is no downside!”

Stupidity kills.

Flash! Eco-Fascist Prosecutor Backs Down

Image result for images of global warming fraud

The chance to report good news comes along but rarely. I’ll take it when I can get it.

Earlier this year, the Democrat attorney-general of the US Virgin Islands subpoenaed the records of a conservative think tank, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, as part of a nationwide Democrat witch-hunt aimed at “Climate Change Denial,” an opinion which they don’t think you should be allowed to have unless they can jail you for having it.

Just found out that late in May, after the Competitive Enterprise Institute took out full-page ads in major newspapers to tell the whole world what this little creep was up to, the attorney-general has revoked his subpoena ( http://dailysignal.com/2016/05/23/virgin-islands-ag-withdraws-climate-change-subpoena-against-think-tank/ ). CEI still seeks sanctions against him, though, for attempting to use the law and his public office for blatantly political and wildly unconstitutional purposes.

This guy joined with 27 other Democrat AGs, nationwide, to try to criminalize disbelief in Man-Made Global Warming.

Wouldn’t it be just priceless if some of these cupcakes wound up in the big house?

This Is Not How Honest People Behave

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

E&E Legal (the Energy & Environmental Legal Institute) has sued the Vermont Attorney General “to release public records related to conspiracy of AGs [state attorneys general] seeking to use RICO [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act] to punish and silence Climate Change ‘deniers’,” according to a press release ( http://eelegal.org/2016/06/13/press-release-ee-legal-sues-vermont-for-stonewalling-public-records-request/ ). It seems records are being shuffled back and forth between Vermont and New York “to keep secret public documents the public has a right to see,” E&E charges.

Well, hey, we’ve been warned about this ( http://www.newsmax.com/GeorgeWill/climate-change-deniers/2016/04/24/id/725453/ ). The Global Warming mob and its Democrat cohorts in our gangster government are actually trying to outlaw an opinion and silence any expression of it. They can’t convince the public that “Man-Made Climate Change” is real, so they fall back on brute force. Well, that’s one way to win an argument: “Shut up, or we’ll throw you in jail!”

I’ve never seen this in my lifetime–a genuine government effort to shut down debate over public policy by criminalizing dissent.

Honest people do not win arguments this way.

But Global Warming is too good to let go. It provides would-be tyrants with an excuse for anything they have a mind to do. “We gotta do it because it’s the only way to Save the Planet!” And anyone who dares voice a doubt is looking down the barrel of a prison sentence.

If George Washington were alive today, he’d be leading an army in a march on the city that so unworthily bears his name.

Think about that on Election Day.

Don’t let it be said that you failed to do everything in your power to prevent another Democrat from taking office.

Because they won’t stop this mischief unless we stop them.

Flash! Centaur Sighting

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Proof that Man-Made Anthropogenic Oh-Boy Climate Change is real, real, real:

Half a dozen people in a certain town–which must not be identified for fear that Biggits and Haters will show up there–and come to think of it, those people must not be identified, either–well, anyhow, just last night, they saw a centaur dash right across the main street of their town.

The source of this news report must not be identified in case the Climate Change Deniers should hassle them.

A prominent Scientist, identity withheld to protect him from a Vast Right-wing Conspiracy, said “Because centaurs are caused by Climate Change, Income Inequality, and Microaggression, and the problem can only be solved by giving absolute power to government agencies staffed by unelected bureaucrats, you’re going to see a lot more centaurs before the whole planet suddenly boils over just because you ignorant anti-Science ijjits out there were too cheap to pay a whopping great Carbon Tax.”

It is reported that the centaur ran right across the street in full few of half a dozen patrons coming out of a tavern at closing time, turned and made a rude noise at them, and then disappeared into an alley.

“It’ll be the Loch Ness Monster next,” remarked the unidentified Scientist. “Mark my words.”

Curses, Foiled Again! No Sea Level Rise for New York, Washington D.C.

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Don’t you hate it when you make scary, melodramatic scientific predictions, and wait for the big bucks to come rolling in–and then your prognostications turn out to be totally, hopelessly wrong?

How many “climate scientists” have sought to wow their audiences with claims like “New York gonna be the new Atlantis! Only the Government can save us”? The Government advised by ourselves, of course.

Now we find that since 2009, sea levels at New York City and Washington, D.C.–which were supposed to go up, up, up because we stubbornly refuse to live like medieval peasants–have, in fact… gone down ( https://wattsupwiththat.com/2016/05/29/the-sea-levels-are-now-reducing-in-the-hotspots-of-acceleration-of-washington-and-new-york/ ). And of course, if you look at the graphs over time, you can easily see that sea levels are always fluctuating–subject as they are to countless influences, some of them so subtle that we have yet to detect them.

So again it’s boo-hoo to the Global Warming crew: take a long walk off a short pier, and hope there’s still water under it. I would say “pray” instead of hope, but I have no idea what you guys pray to, and probably don’t want to know.

Jail for ‘Climate Change Deniers’–the Ball’s Already Rolling

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

ndhile Thailand makes “rude opinions” against the law, American Democrats have gone beyond just talking about doing it.

The attorney general of the U.S. Virgin Islands is the latest–would you believe it? they’re all Democrats–member of our “gangster government,” as George Will puts it ( http://www.newsmax.com/GeorgeWill/climate-change-deniers/2016/04/24/id/725453/ ), to accuse ExxonMobil, along with a couple of conservative think tanks, of the new crime of “Climate Change Denial.” This brings the total to 17–all Democrats–state attorneys general trying to make it against the law to disbelieve in Man-Made Global Warming.

They also allege that anyone who voices disbelief in Man-Made Global Warming is only doing it because he’s been paid under the table by Big Oil.

Now, if Exxon’s defense attorneys are worth anything, there is an ocean of evidence out there that they could subpoena, proving beyond even an unreasonable doubt that the real racketeers in this case are not the oil companies, but the gangster government and its pet “climate scientists.” They could start with the Climategate emails and work their way up to NOAA, NASA, the IPCC, and several other government agencies caught lying and cheating. There’s even a peer-reviewed scientific paper–albeit denounced by any number of scientists–saying it’s perfectly ethical to lie and cheat as long as it gets the public to do what you want it to do.

Nevertheless, be advised: They’re not just talking about it anymore. Democrats are actually trying to outlaw an opinion.
