		<description><![CDATA[The point of Eilpern&#039;s review is that the &quot;science is settled, skeptics are corrupt, and the media shouldn&#039;t give fair balance to corrupt skeptics&quot; - that latter point nicely noted in her reference to Max Boykoff. That&#039;s the same guy involved in circular references with anti-skeptic book author Ross Gelbspan, as I detailed in my 2011 article, &quot; &#039;Media Too Fair to Climate Skeptics&#039;, say reporters who&#039;ve been unfair to skeptics&quot;  http://www.globalwarming.org/2011/06/02/media-too-fair-to-climate-skeptics-say-reporters-whove-been-unfair-to-skeptics/

It&#039;s all these people have, a one-trick pony mantra designed to prompt the public to ignore skeptics that was very likely consolidated by Gelbspan around 1995-6. As long as the general public continues to accept Eilperin&#039;s and so many others&#039; regurgitation of this mantra without questioning it, the issue is not won.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In one sense it&#039;s true that Keystone XL is not a magic bullet on gasoline prices. If overseas prices are good enough, Keystone crude/refined products *will* be exported. To a great extent, US consumer prices of gas are determined by world demand and world prices. 

Another and related factor is the value of the US dollar. As a currency, its value is going down because of Grecian deficit spending. So it takes more dollars to buy a barrel of crude, or a gallon of gasoline. Keystone can&#039;t fix dollar inflation either. 

With the NRDC involved, the questions are, who is paying them and what are the intended results. These people don&#039;t work for free.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Right now, Europeans are lending Greece money so that the Greeks can continue paying interest on the bonds/loans sold/owed to Europeans.  They&#039;ve kissed the principal goodbye, and the Europeans are desperate for revenue.  So taxing foreigners (non EU) using climate or anything else as a pretext, is fair game in their eyes.  

I applaud the mettle of the Chinese and Indians in standing up to this trade and tourism impairment, and bemoan the lack courage of Canadians, US, and the rest of the Americas (Caribbean, Central, and South) in not suggesting a DOUBLE retaliatory tax on the EU!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not a fan of NRDC but look at the logistics and a little recent history.  For years, WTI and the more global Brent crude price tracked in a narrow range.  For the last coupld of years, the spread between the two has widened to over $25 a barrel at times.  Production from the US (which has increased its crude production quite substantially) and Canada likely drove this.  The only reason I can think of for this gap in prices is that there is no efficient way to get that crude on the global market, particularly the far east.  By the time the Keystone pipeline is done, the Panama Canal will be widened so the price will be leveled.  Also, keep in mind that the US became a net exporter of refined petroleum products last year.  So once the pipeline is complete, there will be an efficient way for most of the crude in north America to reach the gulf coast refiners.  Offshore imports for crude will fall because the crude will be sourced more locally and the refiners add value to that crude in the form of refined products and be shipped all over the world.  This will reduce the gap between WTI and Brent but I suspect Amercans in the middle of the country will probably see prices rise a bit as a result.]]></description>

For the last coupld of years, the spread between the two has widened to over $25 a barrel at times.  Production from the US (which has increased its crude production quite substantially) and Canada likely drove this.  The only reason I can think of for this gap in prices is that there is no efficient way to get that crude on the global market, particularly the far east.  By the time the Keystone pipeline is done, the Panama Canal will be widened so the price will be leveled.  Also, keep in mind that the US became a net exporter of refined petroleum products last year.  So once the pipeline is complete, there will be an efficient way for most of the crude in north America to reach the gulf coast refiners.  Offshore imports for crude will fall because the crude will be sourced more locally and the refiners add value to that crude in the form of refined products and be shipped all over the world.  This will reduce the gap between WTI and Brent but I suspect Amercans in the middle of the country will probably see prices rise a bit as a result.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[From the abstract: &quot;Members of the public with the highest degrees of science literacy and technical reasoning capacity were not the most concerned about climate change. Rather, they were the ones among whom cultural polarization was greatest.&quot;

Parse this carefully. The more scientifically literate people are not concerned. There is a schism between the literate and illiterate. We will call this cultural polarization so that we can point fingers at the political incorrectness of the scientifically literate.  

This is spin crap from Yale, where climatology is bought and paid for by Al Gore.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, I do remember incidences such as described. No &quot;Welcome Home&quot; rallies for these returned soldiers who fought a war of such savagery that they have difficulty talking about it to this day.

The trade union officials in this country organized rallies and mob-like protests when Australia&#039;s soldiers returned. These protests were filled with people full of hatred and viciousness for these remarkable men and women.
To this day I am ashamed of this display and I am sorry that the many people in the union movement and the Labor Party (our equivalent of your Democrats), who were involved in these shameful protests, have not been made to apologize. Their conduct is despicable.

Building &quot;cracking-plants&quot; would provide lots of refinery-building jobs, which could be taxed, plus lots of steel would be needed to withstand the pressures of cracking coal to fuels.   With scrubbers, a coal-slurry would be cleaner than just a straight coal-burn, but the British govt. has probably promised all of its funds for windmills,--if not the construction of them,--than the subsidies for them once they&#039;re built. To have wind power, is to ALSO HAVE to build  &quot;back-up&quot; gas-fired generators to provide up to 90% of all of the output from windmill(s).  The coal, cracked, could FUEL those gas-&quot;back-up&quot; generators, but the chain of steel, then refineries, to get gas, would be impractical compared to simply drilling in Britian for shale-gas.  CNG is a cold liquid that performs a hydraulic-function, fracturing the shales, and releasing the gas trapped in those shales.  CNG warms after used for fracking, and turns into a lighter-than-air-vapor, following the shale gas up to the well-head, and preventing ANY contamination of water tables.   The Greens should push for shale-gas to burn in gas-plants for power-generation.  Because some Greens are protecting Russian-gas &quot;interests&quot;,or aresimply neo-Luddites, they&#039;ll probably resist fracking, even with CNG.  Due to new technology, the Oil/gas outfits want to &quot;hook-up&quot; people with energy from known sources before they figure-out how to drill for their own.  A HUGE BOOM in Energies will allow the USA to pay-off ALL of its debts, if the BilderBORGers have their EPA-&quot;dog&quot; chained &amp; Muzzled,--its Kenyan-boy President retired to later ruin the U.N.(--which will be Easy as the U.N. is already ruined, imo). Soros &quot;owns&quot; Nobama, so Nobama&#039;ll resist domestic drilling/development if he gets a second-term, via a &quot;hack&quot; into SCYTL.   The Powers-That-Be have to DEMAND that the Demoncrats &quot;dump&quot; Nobama for Clinton, so that the Demoncrats can continue to compete with Republicans.   If Nobama &quot;steps-down&quot;, our next President is Hillary(Bill) Clinton, because a hack on SCYTL will &quot;work&quot; for her, too.  As a moderate and a Centrist, Ramney doesn&#039;t have a chance with a SCYTL-hack, that turns his &quot;landslide&quot; into a &quot;Nobama/Clinton-Mandate&quot; with a single key-stroke.  Imo, with SCYTL holding the USA vote, NO Republican President can win, even if Jesus Christ was &quot;Running with the Elephants!&quot;    As there&#039;s NO AGW, it really doesn&#039;t matter what the British do,--it&#039;s their country.

		<description><![CDATA[When I was a kid on every Halloween there would be a piece the local news about glass in candy and razor blades in apples. &quot;Be careful children!&quot; One fellow wondered about the people who put the razor blades in apples. They must be strange ducks. When that reporter man sought out an actual case, he found nothing at all. The glass in the candy was sugar that separated out from candy that was heated and cooled, and a cold crisp apple will cause gums to bleed.

So it is with the &quot;spat on&quot; charge and Vietnam vets. There was never an actual case of that.  

My understanding is that the United States and Vietnam are friends and that the refugees from Vietnam to the United States are terrific citizens. Let&#039;s not re-litigate the war issue. The left complained of American savagery in the war, but what gets me is General Giap&#039;s use of men like matchsticks and the holocaust-level brutality of the Khmer Rouge.

I was lucky and not called to Vietnam, but I admire and thank all who, like my dad, have served and are serving our country.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we pay tribute to citizens who made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our freedoms this Memorial Day week-end, it is fitting to read the speech by Czech President, Václav Klaus, regarding Climategate and the threat that it poses to our most basic freedoms:

&lt;i&gt;“It is evident that the current temperature data confirm neither the GWD alarmist and apocalyptic views, nor their quasi-scientific hypotheses about the exclusivity of relationship between CO2 and temperature.”

“What is Endangered: Climate or Freedom? There is no doubt that &lt;b&gt;it is all about freedom.&lt;/b&gt; We should keep that in mind.”&lt;/i&gt;

		<description><![CDATA[But Marilyn, the very definition of wacko is repeatedly performing the same actions and expecting a different outcome, e.g. Socialists thinking &quot;it will work this time&quot;. Republicans (as opposed RINOs) can generally be grouped as free market capitalists and, as such, object strenuously to the market deformations and crony capitalism which creates the financial havoc you mention.

Neither do Republicans favor laissez-faire industry but you confuse misanthropic environmentalism with clean industry - I&#039;d guess you are too young to remember industrial clean-up predates environmentalism, although enviros now fraudulently try to claim the mantle of &quot;saviors&quot;. The real heavy lifting was accomplished in the late 1940s and 1950s, largely to address such problems as London&#039;s killer smogs. By the &#039;70s most of the older, dirtier industrial plants were reaching the end of their useful lifespans and being replaced by cleaner plants and processes, something that would actually be proceeding more quickly today were it not for greenie obstructionists. Regardless it is wealth generation which makes environmental protection affordable and desirable (people who lack basic nutrition, fuel and shelter can not view their environment as anything other than a source of calories and raw material). Capitalism is the only way to protect the planet and capitalism&#039;s natural home is the center-right of politics - ground occupied by those &quot;wacko&quot; Republicans.

Finally you appear to confuse carbon dioxide emission with &quot;pollution&quot;, something which demonstrates how truly indoctrinated you are. I hope you hang around, read and &lt;em&gt;think&lt;/em&gt; - certainly further than &quot;Republicans are wacko&quot;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The focus of the comment by the Irish Times is that the Republican image is off the deep end wacko! The Irish Times LISTS wacko ideas Republican politicians claim to support– assuming Republicans really are that mentally compromised, but I think Republicans are acting, merely broadcasting beliefs of mainstream voters who claim Republican identities - to get their votes. That&#039;s the Republican Party strategy. Wacko George Bush! Wacko John McCain! Wacko politics!! ..stupid as foxes!The goal of politicians is to appeal to a block of people to get elected. It’s the republican populace that is wacko.
Goals versus strategy! To see what the actual goals of Republican apparatchik are, you have to look at what they do (first Christian rule: look at what they do). 
BOTH parties are dependent on corporations to finance their campaigns. Politicians who make it to the elections are vetted, representing rich corporations; and you see what has been done since Reagan, rolling back regulations to enable financial institutions freedom from ethics; thus, to bundle unsecured loans and sell them worldwide, making a killing while the bottom of real estate drops out of sight, forcing the loss of millions of American homes, forcing banks and corporations into bankruptcy worldwide, causing a global depression; or look at what Romney did at Bain Capital, laying off multi-thousands of people, moving millions from the companies into his wallet before filing companies into bankruptcies. 
The other goal to eliminate ALL environment regulations enabling corporations, such as the Koch Brothers Industries, not to clean up their pollution and avoid accountability to the American people, putting the money into their own wallets while making all of us ill (i.e., their schtick: no global warming, a conspiracy theory, Scientists versus Christianity). 
You should be able to see that UNLESS you’re too busy loyally cheering or accusing the opposing ‘team.’ Rah!
That’s the intellect of the mainstream republican wacko – mind deficit, loyal cheerleader for the team – which is just so amazing to the Irish press that anyone could POSSIBLY be THAT mentally compromised. 
So continue to avoid looking at what you’re supporting –so you can avoid asking what the Irish Press was thinking.]]></description>
