Real scientists predict  it will only be 5-6 years before Arctic summers are ice-free. 2007 was the second-hottest year on record.  Climate change is resulting in more natural disasters, and affecting wildlife and humans alike. An Inconvenient Truth, by Al Gore did its best to sound the alarm about climate change, and get us to realize that we can take action.
The spew flowed ....
Inhofe (R-Exxon)'s famous babble that climate change is a hoax.  Glenn Beck hosted "A Climate of Fear" on CNN (with hilariously dismal ratings).  And, in the UK, "The Great Global Warming Swindle" was aired on ITV's Channel 4.  The makers trotted out the usual suspects, "scientists" who are prominent members of the Global Warming Deniers Hall of Shame, like Patrick Michaels ("[Gore's movie is a] riveting work of science fiction") and John Christy (co-author of Global Warming and Other Eco-Myths).

NONE of the big oil-funded free market spew changes the science.

It's not too hard to dredge up 400 NUTS in all the world who think the lunar landing was a farce or think Elvis is living in Albuquerque, much like it isn't too hard to dig up 400 people with a vague background in the field of science who find something to dispute in climate science. That doesn't mean their views should be lauded and held up as scientific proof that global warming isn't so bad. There haven't been any peer-reviewed scientific studies validating any claims that the planet is either not warming, or not warming because of humans, and the world's most-respected climatologists are all in agreement.

So, yes, the Inhofe list is utterly ignorable compared to either the IPCC report or the Bali declaration by actual prominent climate scientists. The notion it is relevant to the climate debate is laughable, as even a cursuory examination makes clear. And yet in an article unhelpfully titled, “Climate Consensus ‘Busted’?” the NYT’s Andy Revkin amazingly writes of it:

The perennial tug of war over what average people should think and do about human-caused global warming has just experienced another big yank, this time from those saying actions to cut greenhouse gases are a costly waste of time.

Big yank? More like Inhofe is letting go of the rope. Revkin continues

But when you sift through the studies, what emerges (to me at any rate) is not so much the shattering of a consensus as a portrait of one corner of the absolutely normal, and combative, arena in which scientific ideas emerge and either thrive or fade.

What does Inhofe’s list have to do at all with the normal scientific process? What do meteorologists and economists have to do with the normal process of climate science? Should scientists really be influenced at all by one inventor’s wild claim that nanotechnology will eliminate fossil fuels in 20 years. Or by a contrived and mistake-riddled study by geomagnetists?

So Jim, how many REAL climate scientists in your 400? 
OH!

HOW MANY PEER REVIEWED STUDIES?
None!

Well at least you aren't using the nuclear bomb rocketship nut AGAIN?
You ARE!

What a SICK CON JOB.
Nutjob, S. Robert Lichter, paid Fox  shill and president of The Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA), calls FOX "BALANCED". Seems more likely Lichter is UNBALANCED and thinks conservatives are just plain  DUMB.

FACTS:
CMPA's funding comes from conservative foundations. The funding information, covering 1986-2002, lists the following donors:

• Carthage Foundation, part of the Scaife Foundations - $267,000 from 5 donations
• Earhart Foundation
• John M. Olin Foundation - $730,000 from 15 donations
• Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation
• Sarah Scaife Foundation, part of the Scaife Foundations - $760,000 from 9 donations
• Smith Richardson Foundation - $416,916 from 3 donations

Thus, out of the total of $2,523,916, nearly all of it ($2,173,916) came from just three sources: the John M. Olin, Scaife, and Smith Richardson foundations.

SAME NUTCASES ALSO FUND:

• John M. Olin Foundation - American Enterprise Institute, Project for the New American Century
• Scaife Foundations - American Enterprise Institute, Heritage Foundation
• Smith Richardson Foundation - American Enterprise Institute, Hudson Institute

After writing a moronic column for the Daily Princetonian decrying the  presence of condoms on the Princeton campus and how the school's "tacit sponsorship of hookup sex" leads female students towards "falling GPAs, numerous visits to the counselors, bottle after bottle of antidepressants, alcohol abuse, leaves of absence, self-injurious behavior and suicidal ideation," Nava and three other students (all members of the conservative Anscombe Society campus group) and a well-known conservative professor received email death threats.

Then, on December 14, Nava reported that he had been attacked and beaten unconscious by two black-clad men who allegedly told him to "shut the f*ck up", a phrase that was also included in the death threats. Conservatives decried the lack of outrage over this incident, claiming this was violent proof of American colleges' dangerous liberalism, ignoring the fact that Princeton is one of the most conservative schools in the Ivy League. Conservative author David Horowitz told Rupert Murdoch's conservative NY Sun:

“It’s a terrible incident, but it doesn’t surprise me,” a conservative author who has campaigned against a culture of left-wing conformity on college campuses, David Horowitz, said in an interview. “The left has now become the hate group.”

But apparently the right still holds the title as America's "hate group" — Nava faked the whole thing. On December 17, Nava confessed to police that he himself had sent the death threats and had beaten himself so badly that he gave himself a concussion. Not only that, but the news had broken over the weekend that this wasn't even the first time he'd done something like this — while a high school student at Groton, Nava had sent a death threat to himself and his roommate.

Nava's story was pure junk, a total lie meant to paint conservatives as victims and liberals as violent extremists willing to physically insult those they disagree with — some of the right's favorite talking points. That made it a perfect fit for FOX. Unfortunately, they were a few hours too late.

On December 17, the same day Nava confessed to faking the whole thing, FOX's Brit Hume featured the Nava story on the Grapevine segment of Special Report:

Conservative students and faculty at Princeton University are questioning the absence of campus and community outrage — following the beating of a student leading a morality movement at the school. The New York Sun reports Francisco Nava was attacked by two men last week and told to shut up. The beating came two days after Nava received death threats by e-mail.

Nava — who is a Mormon — wrote in the student newspaper that a school campaign to distribute free condoms on campus was a — "tacit sponsorship of hookup sex." Three other members of the morally conservative Anscombe Society also received the threats, along with a conservative professor.

Princeton graduate Michael Fragoso tells the Sun — "There would rightly be outrage had the student been part of some other minority on campus. I have yet to see that right now, and that's rather disappointing."

FOX fraud Hume mentioned the Nava story at 6:30pm. The Daily Princetonian posted the TRUTH  at 1:41pm ET about Nava's confession. Firstthings.com had an alert up at 1:43pm. NJ.com, a site dedicated to New Jersey news stories, had a story up by 2:37pm.

Teen births down in '90's then along came the GOP.

Bush always did LOVE HIS DOPE, 10's of THOUSANDS of crack cocaine offenders will RELEASE EARLY.
PLUS, needles for junkies.


Under the decision, which becomes effective on March 3, 2008, federal sentencing judges will be allowed to determine whether a crack cocaine offender is eligible for a reduced sentence and how much of a reduction will be granted. Judges will be required to consider the offender’s potential threat to society in deciding on a reduced sentence.
According to the Families Against Mandatory Minimums advocacy group, the Commission’s decision could affect as many as 19,500 federal prisoners, "almost 2,520 of whom could be eligible for early release in the first year."

Bush Signs Bill for Junkie Needle Exchanges.  Officials of the District of Columbia Health Department said that with the ban lifted, they would allocate $1 million for such programs in 2008.

IF this happened under a DEMOCRATIC ADMIN., the BOBBLE-HEAD

 BOOB Repug-Lie-Con's would be spewing this DAILY.

Since January '07, Mitt has spent well in excess of $80 million, including at least $17.4 million of his own money, paying media fees in excess of $30 million, salaries of roughly $16 million, and consulting payments of more than $15 million.

Romney has fallen into second place in Iowa, running roughly four points behind former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. In New Hampshire, Romney's double digit lead has steadily eroded, while John McCain, who was trailing by 11 to 18 points at the start of December, has surged to within 3.5 percentage points.

Romney's biggest setback was a  December 26 editorial in the Union Leader, a conservative rag with the widest circulation of any publication in New Hampshire.

"Granite Staters want a candidate who will look them in the eye and tell them the truth....Mitt Romney has not," the editorial declared. "The more Mitt Romney speaks, the less believable he becomes.... Mitt Romney has spent a year trying to convince Granite Staters that he is [trustworthy]. It looks like they aren't buying it. And for good reason."

The Union Leader denunciation was preceded by an even more hostile assessment of Romney in the Concord, N.H., Monitor - "We talk about our ability to....see through the baloney. If a candidate is a phony, we assure ourselves and the rest of the world, we'll know it. Mitt Romney is such a candidate."

NUTJOBS at  FOX and  British counterpart Sky News, changes the location of Jesus' birthplace.
