"Isn't the only hope for the planet that the
industrialized civilizations collapse?
Isn't it our responsiblity to bring that about?"
- Maurice Strong,
founder of the UN Environment Programme

"A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the
United States. De-development means bringing our
economic system into line with the realities of
ecology and the world resource situation."
- Paul Ehrlich,
Professor of Population Studies

"The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another
United States. We can't let other countries have the same
number of cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the US.
We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are."
- Michael Oppenheimer,
Environmental Defense Fund


"Global Sustainability requires the deliberate quest of poverty,
reduced resource consumption and set levels of mortality control."
- Professor Maurice King

Judy posts anything remotely usuable that anyone, anywhere, antime in the world has ever stated as proof of her New World Order Conspiracy Theory.
Then plays connect the dots, draws some conclusion...and that's it! Proof! BS. ANYONE CAN SAY ANYTHING. Doesn't make it true. Doesn't mean anything whatsoever necessarily. There are various nutbars on the planet and there are various nutbar statements made. Happens all the time. So what?
There are as many theories of 'world domination' as there are theorists.

Back to climate change, here is an interesting piece regarding Arctic ice:

"When you’re looking for shrinking packs of multiyear ice in the Arctic Ocean, bizarre things tend to happen. Top Canadian scientist David Barber knows this first hand, as he explained in a presentation in Parliament on Wednesday. Barber said that to all extents and purposes the multiyear ice in the Arctic had already vanished, which could open up the region to shipping and mineral exploitation.

Barber, who holds Canada’s Research Chair in Arctic System Science at the University of Manitoba, boarded the icebreaker Amundsen last month and steamed north from the Arctic port of Tuktoyaktuk to look for the Beaufort Sea pack ice, the “thickest, hardest, meanest, multi year sea we have left in the northern hemisphere”.

According to up-to-date satellite maps provided by the Canadian Ice Service, the Amundsen should have started ploughing into progressively thicker ice almost from the start. Soon after the ship set sail Barber went to bed, and then woke up at 2 am in a panic.

“I looked on my screen and we’re doing 13 knots. We do 13.7 knots in open water and we’re right here (in an area where the maps show there should be thick ice) somewhere, doing 13 knots,” he said.

“And I just panicked, I thought ‘Oh My God, Stephane the captain is not on the bridge and the first officer has gone crazy, he’s driving this thing way too fast through the sea ice’. So I go up on the bridge and talk to the guys and they say “There is no ice here’.”

The ship sailed for hundreds of miles, first to the north and then eastwards, “trying to find multiyear sea ice that would even slow us down”. All they found was so-called rotten ice — a thin layer covering small chunks of multiyear ice.

Eventually the ship found a 10-mile floe of “nice typical traditional Beaufort Sea pack ice” close to the Canadian Arctic archipelago. As they were about to attach the ship to the floe Barber looked out and saw a crack open up right in front of him. “I went ‘Wow, that’s kind of weird’.” Even weirder, he and a colleague then saw the ice move up and down as a swell hit it.

“And as we watched, literally, without any exaggeration, the entire multi-year floe broke up in five minutes,” he said. Barber blames waves which started off the north coast of Siberia and then rolled across the Arctic Ocean, pushed along by a low pressure system and unencumbered by rotten ice.

No wonder he says that “I’ve never seen anything like this in my 30 years of working in the high Arctic”.

Arctic ice levels were low during the 1920-1940 period.

It is a cycle dependent on ocean currents.

Deja Vu all over again: climate worries of today also happened in the 20’s and 30’s
20 03 2008

Two days ago I highlighted a news story from the Washington Post Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt dated from November 2nd 1922. That brought a flood of interest and some other interesting finds along with it as other readers contributed what they found on the story.

One of the most interesting finds was a study published in the Monthly Weather Review in September 1933 Titled: IS OUR CLIMATE CHANGING? A STUDY OF LONG-TIME TEMPERATURE TRENDS.

The first page of the original article is below

Notice how the Warmists try to tear down my character, often say I work for Exxon, but never have any real science to back up their claims that humans change climate by how much CO2 they produce.

Notice how they deny the validity of openly available UN documents, like Agenda 21....like it is "theory" when it has been around for years. It even is covered by Wiki.

Development of Agenda 21

The full text of Agenda 21 was revealed at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (Earth Summit), held in Rio de Janeiro on June 14, 1992, where 178 governments voted to adopt the programme. The final text was the result of drafting, consultation and negotiation, beginning in 1989 and culminating at the two-week conference. The number 21 refers to an agenda for the 21st century. It may also refer to the number on the UN's agenda at this particular summit."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenda_21

I certainly wouldn't buy a used car from a Warmist...why do you buy into "climate catastrophe".

"never have any real science to back up their claims that humans change climate by how much CO2 they produce..."

Full of #%^#@ as usual - I myself have provided such evidence MANY TIMES - you just ignore it and say the same stupid comment over and over again that it does not exist - do you really think you convince anyone whith such lame assertions??? It's like saying - there is no nose on your face LMAO!!!!

"Arctic ice levels were low during the 1920-1940 period...."

Yes, but they are lower today than during that period - again, same stupid repeated half truth LMAO!!!

and then you quote the same denialist BOLG What's Up With That - what a joke LMAO!!! and you have the GALL to call our science into question LMAO!!!!! LMAO!!!! LMAO!!!!

now on to the actual topic of the original post:

There are now 12,168 signatures - fantastic!!!! Keep spreading the word - we ARE making a difference (and THAT is what Judy fears the most).

"Notice how they deny the validity of openly available UN documents, like Agenda 21....like it is "theory" when it has been around for years. It even is covered by Wiki."

Uh, did anyone here deny any UN documents, or are you putting words in our mouths?

http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/

{{{Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.

Agenda 21, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the Statement of principles for the Sustainable Management of Forests were adopted by more than 178 Governments at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janerio, Brazil, 3 to 14 June 1992.

The Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) was created in December 1992 to ensure effective follow-up of UNCED, to monitor and report on implementation of the agreements at the local, national, regional and international levels. It was agreed that a five year review of Earth Summit progress would be made in 1997 by the United Nations General Assembly meeting in special session.

The full implementation of Agenda 21, the Programme for Further Implementation of Agenda 21 and the Commitments to the Rio principles, were strongly reaffirmed at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) held in Johannesburg, South Africa from 26 August to 4 September 2002.}}}

What's so evil about that?

The entire UN and everything about it IS EVIL, didn't you know Dale? Almost everything is evil to Judy. Anyone or anything that has power. She figures if she's so bad off in her current condition that if anyone or anything were to become more powerful think of how bad off she would be then (this is her way of thinking). And so she fights them. Must squash them, make them less, make nothing out of them. Dominate by nullifying others, other things.
