		<description>You go, Nomnom! Your anger is couched in sound logic and I love how you unmasked
the science/religion dichotomy.

I am inclined toward Agnosticism; however, I am open to other views on any issue. Provable facts cannot be spun; these climategate heretics, who twisted themselves into pretzels to push their corrupt warming agenda, are finally named.  Some savvy lawyers are looking into RICO charges. The East Anglia mob and foot soldiers need a taste of true sea change...

a warm spot in hades would be even better.

Too bad the conservative faithful find themselves picking up the pieces of a flawed project, playing the blame game and hitting out at the usual suspects--the poor and disadvantaged.  Krauthammer, for all his
talent and erudition is mired in his own
narrow intellectual bog. 

Anyone familiar with the John Perkins book, &quot;Confessions of an Economic Hitman&quot;?  Make of point of accessing the history of the financial destruction of Third World countries across the globe.  It will put this new carbon tax scam into perspective. Just the next phase of an ongoing scheme.

Clever these elite moneymongers.  They link global warming and humane instincts (which is a ruse) in a neat package even the most hard-nosed conservative can&#039;t ignore.  The warm-hearted liberals have always been on board.</description>

		<description>I think the manipulation works more like this:  The middle classes are &lt;em&gt;instilled&lt;/em&gt; with fears to provide the political means to protect the extraordinary advantages of the very wealthy--the &quot;very wealthy&quot; being the 5% of the population who own 95% of the nation&#039;s total wealth.  

Rational tax increases on the upper end could provide the needed basic social services and educational opportunities on the lower end, leaving the middle classes largely out of the equation.  

I don&#039;t believe wanting something for nothing is necessarily the defining characteristic of the poor.</description>

		<description>The rich own the carbon exchanges. The poor are for anything that promises something for nothing. The middle class are the ones afraid... afraid of being made the poor for no reason other than it&#039;s easier to nanny us if we all wear the same brand of plastic pants and all suckle the same brand of formula.</description>

Is there global warming on the planet you live on?

Do you expect us (on earth) to pay YOU reparations?

Did you pay for your tinfoil hat?</description>

		<description>Yes, science is the biggest loser. Science had itself positioned in our culture as an absolute. Something known to be based in fact. Science has always used that position as a sort of club to beat up religion, that religion necessitated a &quot;leap of faith&quot; and that religion couldn&#039;t be proven scientifically. Turns out science isn&#039;t so absolute either anymore and it also now necessitates a leap of faith to believe in some science. Science is the biggest loser, it has lost it&#039;s positioning and it&#039;s club. Science now is just another religion.</description>

		<description>Thanks to CRU and East Anglia, it apparently isn&#039;t about science anymore. Science is the biggest loser in all of these shenanigans. Let&#039;s see Phil Jones &quot;Hide the Decline&quot; in his reputation and grant money.</description>

		<description>Reparations is yet another in a series of strawmen. Soon, I expect the descendants of Alexander&#039;s Macedonians, the Babylonians, the Egyptians, the Persians, the Ottomans, and the Romans to queue up long before Western Europe.</description>

		<description>I too think reparations is a non-starter.  But Craig&#039;s point is that equating Copenhagen with &quot;post-colonial reparations&quot; and equating reparations with theft is dishonest spin.  The Third World is no more &quot;klepto&quot; than Europe:

&quot;The idea of enslaving hard-working citizens of Africa in order to fill the treasuries of First World kleptocracies&quot;

But I don&#039;t see how this post refutes Kraut&#039;s point about the EPA power grab, Jim Webb&#039;s letter and checks and balances.  Declaring carbon an &quot;endangerment&quot; is the left wing version of claiming &quot;national security&quot;, i.e., we can do whatever we want.  I don&#039;t like the EPA dictating to Congress or unilaterally declaring polluters as &quot;enemy combatants.&quot;</description>

		<description>Kiplinger has a hopeful article up today. Apparantly they don&#039;t think Cap &amp; Trade will pass, ditto comprehensive immigration reform. I hope they&#039;re right. ObamaCare will cost me more than enough.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t support cap and trade and I don&#039;t support reparations except from the corporate looters, but the most egregious part of the whole Copenhagen thing is that it will allow developed nations over twice the emissions per capita that it will allow less developed nations yet will not subsidize their transfer to less polluting technologies adequately.  Also, as per usual, indigenous people get to suffer the most of the climate change as their economies as the most strongly resource based and are often located in the most affected environments and they have the least representation and aid.</description>
