As I’m writing this, just one day after the Senate Democrats held their, “all night global warming awareness pajama jammy jam,” my driveway is currently accepting 8 to 10 inches of mid March snow. I’m not certain if this one is some sort of a panicked attempt to find a campaign deflection issue, an attempt to get we the people talking about something other than the fact that no one in the entire nation has decent affordable access to health care now that their, “fix,” has begun to take effect. What’s more likely is that it’s an attempt to drive up the cash machines, now that the smart money distributors of campaign funds will undoubtedly begin the practice of holding onto their Democrat destined currency until a time when they might stand a snowball’s chance in hell of winning anything. The 2014 midterms won’t be that time, and they’re eyes will be firmly affixed to 2016 and beyond.
The reason I believe that this is about money, and not a substitute campaign issue, lies in the names of those suspiciously missing from the night’s merry making frivolity. After all, were it a substitute campaign issue, those who are undeniably facing the fiercest of the upcoming battles will need the, “pet issue,” more than those who were in attendance.
From the CMS article linked to above:
Some notable Democrats, however, are no-shows: Mark Begich of Alaska, Kay Hagan of North Carolina, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, and Mark Pryor of Arkansas. It’s not that they want their shut-eye. It’s that they want to win their very competitive races come November.
Instead, Four of the most vulnerable Democrats in this years top card decided in effect to face things with nothing to talk about besides Obamacare, meaning, they feel that global warming will be no better for them to woo voters with. What global warming is still great at however, is as a Democrat ATM. This issue raises gobs of cash for them, and I have no doubts that the aforementioned four will receive a good sized chunk of that cash with which to find other squirrels to get easily distracted voters to look at.
One thing that didn’t get reported yesterday, along with the Democrat’s midnight version of their sick Kabuki Theater, was the fact that a rather impressive group of non political NASA scientists banded together and declared the entire concept of Man Made Global Warming to be baloney. James Hansen has spent years, and improved his personal stock by the way, engaging in the practice of bleating into any microphone its owner would let him stand in front of, about the, “settled,” science of global warming. The problem of course is that James Hansen, NASA’s science director, is a political appointee, and not actively engaged in scientific inquiry. Tired of being spoken for, and mischaracterized by the way, (when Hansen speaks, he does so for an entire agency,) NASA’s actual scientific brain trust decided to set the record straight.
From the IBD article linked to above:
Rather than bash deniers, or fence them into some lepers ghetto as Apple CEO Tim Cook and Virgin CEO Richard Branson seem to want, the senators should have invited the Right Climate Stuff Research Team to their festival. This group of more than 20 retired NASA Apollo scientists and engineers — James Delingpole at Breitbart.com calls them “the men who put Neil Armstrong on the moon” — would have put their worries at ease.
“There is no convincing physical evidence of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming,” the group says in a summary of its preliminary report.
The team also says that anthropogenic global warming is not settled science, doesn’t believe it to be an immediate threat, and insists that the computer models that the alarmists have so much faith in “need to be validated before being used in critical decision-making.”What’s really going to keep the group out of the mainstream news coverage, though, is its finding that even if we burned all of Earth’s “remaining economically recoverable fossil fuel reserves,” we could not “raise global average surface temperatures more than 1.2 degrees Celsius above current levels.”
Don’t expect to see that little bit from any of your tech savvy facebook friends though, they’re most likely either too entrenched in the fervor of saving the world panic, or too intelligent to get caught up with pop culture street smarts. Either way, no matter how much this nonsense is beaten back, don’t expect the politicos to give it up, it’s just too darned good at what they really want to use it for, which is raising money and beating the GOP to death.
So one final thought as I go to take my fossil fuel burning snow removal device to the driveway in an effort to allow our gasoline burning motor vehicles egress in our daily attempts to warm the planet, (just doing our part.) Buck up my fellow inhabitants of the political right, tomorrow I’ll have some really good news from last night to speak to. This news is even better upon further analysis. I’ll give you a hint:
