I've lived in Mtn Home since 1989, so that's...hold on...I'm thinking...WOW! Exactly 25 years! Boy, I think I can almost declare myself an Idahoan. But my family is British and I grew up in Louisiana around lots of other Brits so I still think I'm a little bit of a mutt. Those of you who have been around awhile may remember when I used to blog all the time. My opinions weren't very accepted and there was always an issue because I work for the county. That really wasn't fair because I NEVER blog at work! And I am still entitled to my opinions and thoughts about city and county issues, right? However, it stirred a lot of pots and those pots certainly can make a lot of noise! Since I'm a writer, I took what I wrote in my blog seriously so I spent a lot of time researching things which got exhausting to do when you're not even get a paycheck for it. So I stopped. That was a blessing to many! However, to this day, I still have people stop me and ask me why I wasn't blogging and t! hey missed it. I've missed it. Mainly because there are so many issues that come up and I have no voice except around my friends and I'm sure they are tired of it.

EPA's Devious Power

Posted Tuesday, December 29, 2009, at 7:56 AM

The man-caused global warming fraud and there have been plenty of scientist who have exposed it as a hoax. Now Al Gore is going to be teaching our kids in schools about it! His "theory" is being taught as truth. So listen to this next bit of information.

Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant as the EPA has ruled, but the EPA will implement Cap and Trade without Congressional approval because CO2 falls under The Clean Air Act. This must be stopped.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is implementing the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Cap and Trade regulations without congressional approval. The EPA revealed that it ruled against sound scientific advice and in favor of the lie that CO2 is a pollutant and that it causes global warming. Now, they are using The Clean Air Act to regulate U.S. industry out of business or force them overseas resulting in more job losses. Smart move, people! If these idiots can't get what they want from Copenhagen and our government, then they find a way to do it.

Over 31,480 U.S. scientists including over 9,000 Ph.D.'s have signed a petition (www.petitionproject.org) that CO2 and man are not causing global warming and the instead are trying to get the truth out. What is that truth? There are benefits that extra CO2 gives us. It is needed to increase crop production. CO2 is not a pollutant, but is necessary for life on the planet. CO2 plus water and sunlight in green plants produces the oxygen we need to breathe and the food we eat. The EPA wants to take away exactly what we need to survive on this planet.

The Wall Street Journal's Keith Johnson noted that there are some positive effects of rising greenhouse gases: "One is faster-growing trees in tropical forests, which helps offset deforestation. Another is marshes that can more quickly grow above rising sea levels, providing an insurance policy of sorts for some low-lying areas against the potential ravages of rising sea levels resulting from warmer global temperatures."

"All scientists know CO2 is as essential to life as oxygen and water. Carbon dioxide is omnipresent and absolutely essential to plant growth. In growing, plants breathe in carbon dioxide, use the carbon portion to build their structure (biomass), and exhale oxygen and water vapor. In turn, animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide's "circle of life" continues.

But despite a run-up in atmospheric CO2 content since the Industrial Revolution (after 1700 A.D.), CO2 and greenhouse gases other than water vapor still only make up less than 0.03 percent of the total atmosphere." http://www.expresswaysonline.com/expwys/ourselves.html

According to the Heartland Institute, the real climate change scientists have met three times at climate conferences in Times Square, New York and Washington, D.C. See www.heartlandinstitute.org. They presented scientific information refuting man-caused global warming and that the sun, going through cycles, is the main cause. The planet is cooling now! The fraud that was exposed with emails that were discovered between scientist who were altering numbers in order to support their "theory" should have made people wake up and look for truth. As usual, the truth was nonexistent in the main stream media. While we are distracted by healthcare reform and dirty politics, the EPA is going to regulate CO2, a living giving need and cause more industry to move out of America.

The Copenhagen Treaty is much worse than the Kyoto climate treaty, which was rejected by the U.S. Senate by a vote of 95 -- 0, since it would destroy U.S. industry. This new treaty destroys our independence as well and paves the way for global government under the United Nations. People need to get in an uproar! Watch what is happening under the radar. We must abolish the EPA's power and get the heck out of the UN.

Resurrect HR 1146: (2/16/2007--Introduced but died.) American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2007 - Repeals the United Nations Participation Act of 1945 and other specified related laws.

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-1146&tab=summary

Directs the President to terminate U.S. participation in the United Nations, including any organ, specialized agency, commission, or other affiliated body. Requires closure of the U.S. Mission to the United Nations. Prohibits: (1) the authorization of funds for the U.S. assessed or voluntary contribution to the United Nations; (2) the authorization of funds for any U.S. contribution to any U.N. military operation; and (3) the expenditure of funds to support the participation of U.S. Armed Forces as part of any U.N. military or peacekeeping operation. Bars U.S. Armed Forces from serving under U.N. command.

What lies. Al Gore's movie was not theory, but based on the facts of science. Co2 is a heat trapping gas that is now bringing our ecosystems including our oceans and glaciers dangerously close to a tipping point. You would understand that if you were truly more concerned with this planet than with trashing a good man who has done nothing all of these years but advocate for the sustainability of this planet. The only thing we need to stop is the incessant juvenile whining of climate deniers who have unleashed the true climate hoax on the USA with their blatant ignorance of science.

Dear CDAL: You are very entitled to your opinion, as am I. There have been more scientist coming "OUT" of the Global Warming Farce every day. This has been a means to an end for Gore and all of the scientist who started this hysteria. This has been a money making deal from the get-go. Now, I do believe that we have to take care of our planet. It is obvious that we can't pollute the soil, air and the water with harmful chemicals. I do agree that man has done alot of damage that must be undone. I believe in finding clean fuel and stopping the chemicals being used to kill off our soil. There are plenty of things that we need to continue to clean up. However, Global warming is another story. Years ago, scientist were reporting that we were headed for a new ice age and predicted that we would already be in the midst of it by now. Do you not see that they were wrong, yet were just as convincing back then as the global warming disciples are now? Seek and you will find plenty of evidence against it. We need to stop throwing money at this and focus on what we really needed to survive such as sustainable agriculture, clean fuels, plenty of jobs, live-giving abundent water supplies, and affordable essentials for raising a family. What good is sinking millions and trillions into global warming while your country's people are starving, unemployed and losing their homes?

CDAL, you could have stopped your statement with "A man who has done nothing all of these years" and that would have been the only truthful statement you made. His "film" was a fantasy. The science used has now been shown to be incomplete and most likely a lie in itself. So called scientist have buried evidence that could have debunked their findings just so they could support Mr. Gore's pet project.

Listening to scientists who aren't addicted to the kool-aid have been saying all along the fuzzy science Gore was using wasn't the truth. Now who's truth is inconvenient? Having lived in an area that harbored it's share of environmentalists I can tell you that the logic used to support their cause has always been skewed. They want to save the bull trout yet it's the same bull trout that dines on the the sockeye and chinook salmon that are on the endangered list. They want the brook trout removed from our streams because it's a non-native species yet they introduce Canadian Gray Wolves into out mountains. These wolves are genetically different from the native wolves in Idaho. They protest and sue the US Forest Service for logging old growth timber then want the same Forest Service to save their home when a forest fire rages through deep under growth towards their log cabins. HYPOCRISY!!!!

THINK people. This is the natural ebb and flow of our environment. Mother Nature self adjusts all the time to correct the imbalance. If after thousands of years we haven't figured out how to stop floods, turn hurricanes, or tamp down an earthquake how do you figure that we can change the tempurature around us in the few years each of us are given on this planet.

Tell me CDAL, how is CO2 any more a planet warming gas than say oxygen? Is the levels of CO2 higher now than they have been in previous years? What about nitrogen? Argon?

Having been a EMT, I know that to sustain life there must be between 18-21% oxygen in the atmosphere. Any less and people start to die. True you can adapt over time to lower levels, they do it when the climb Everest, but you cannot do it forever. The chemical make up of our atmosphere is primarliy nitrogen, 78%, oxygen, 21% and argon, less than 1%. Carbon Dioxide makes up aroun .038%. Show me the science where this has changed dramatically over the past 100 years? 50 years? 10 years? If what is said is true, then a dramatic change in CO2 would mean that we have given all the plant life on this planet the equivilent of a McDonalds to feed on daily. And as we have seen from another great film...eating McDonalds does nothing but make you fatter. So if that were the case then plant life on this planet would have increased in size and scope. Yet becasue of global warming we are told that deserts are getting bigger, glaciers are melting and that all life is in danger.....BS!!

CDAL, Take a big spoonful of reality and answer honestly how much effect our small nation can have on the environment when nations suchs as Russia and China do nothing to decrease the amount of pollutants the spew into the air. Remember that 1.3 BILLION Chinese must spew TONS of CO2 daily. And while your at it...do something about all those nasty volcanoes that keep polluting the air. Good Luck!

Don't knock the GPS idea....if you can track a weak cell phone signal to locate a couple who relied on their GPS then maybe we can use the uplink signal to locate where these illegals are and give them a trip back across the border. Sorry..was thinking outside the box.

As i stated before, there were/are some telling signs that global warming was/is an active phenomenon. Greenland, Svalbard, etc. have grown in size. Size being land not covered in ice. This may have just been a random era in the grand scheme. Whether or not, man created this or not is not my realm of expertise. Economically, regulating CO2 would be very costly. I am not sure of the benefits that would accrue if CO2 was lessened. There is obviously more to the story but why would any politically minded person want to admit that.

Bazooka---

I was wondering if you caught that blurb on the water stations. Did you also catch how they called them immigrants as opposed to illegal immigrants? I, myself, consider "immigrants" people who have turned in their paperwork to become citizens and are waiting on their status to change. Or those who must come to the US because they "helped" the US in some way and now their own country wants to kill them or put them on trial for treason, etc. I do not consider people who walk/run/drive across a border to defraud US taxpayers immigrants. Just me.

Water stations?!?! Why not just do away with border patrol and let all of them in and make them citizens----OH WAIT...THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW ANYWAY. The "immigrants" will end up in the US and US citizens will end up departing for Costa Rica, etc. Yes, change I believe in for sure. I hope I will be allowed to own my shorts when this is all over.

Thanks Bazooka. I will be looking for that. Happy New Year to you and your family! Take care!

-- Posted by OpinionMissy on Wed, Dec 30, 2009, at 4:18 PM
Good one Zooka! Once again "change" (cha ching) that we can believe in. Just like the new IRS tax table which provides for higher taxes! Surprise-surprise. Most of the country can hardly get by and now the feds will take more from our checks (which includes taxable retirement funds/accounts). Happy freakin new year indeed!

I've said for years, if there had been environmentalists during the time of the dinosaurs, we would still have dinosaurs. It's called the natural ebb and flow of earth. Things constantly change to allow natural evolution of species. Some go away...some change and some new ones are born. There's not one dang thing we can do about it. As for the last Ice age, I'm guessing dinosaur farts...best I can come up with..lol

Isn't the by-product of a nuclear war a nuclear winter. Wouldn't that stop global warming? Not that I want one but seems to me if someone doesn't take care of Iran and soon, the Isrealis will and then we don't have to worry about global warming...ooops...Climate Change!!

Obama has made it quite clear in his statements that the US is no longer the friend to Isreal that we once were. Doubtful they will listen to a spineless politician when it comes to their safety.

HEY...where did CDAL go?...I think it was censored under an assumed name! Nice that someone comes on here and tries to start an argument and when confronted with FACTS runs and hides..typical liberal BS.

Isarel are going to be forced to use all of their resources to defend themselves because our President is looking the other way. Before him, at least, our government were backing them and therefore keeping all out world war. Now, I think, this Patsy of a President will do what the enemy have wanted all along, abandon the Jews and wash his hands as Israel is slaughtered or forced to use a nuclear weapon. What kind of chain reaction could that start? (Time 7:14am)
