The Green Nazi Deep Ecology

That modern environmentalism has swept in behind the collapse of classic western philosophy and the fading of the Judeo-Christian worldview is thus no accident.  It is part and parcel of the whole post-modern outlook that denies any transcendental truth or God that exists independent and outside of the natural world.

Obama continues his war on cheap American energy

Comments Off
by    in Energy,Environmental,Freedom,Obama,Political Correctness

Among the steps they are now taking is jury-rigging a panel that the EPA has created to “study” shale gas, tilting the verdict on the safety of developing this abundant and cheap energy resource.

Liberal vs Conservative: A Spiritual Battle

Without beating around the bush, I believe the battle being fought in America today goes beyond politics; right vs. left. It is a spiritual battle; good vs evil.

The large number of Christians in the Tea Party believe in right and wrong. The left has a huge problem with the concept of right and wrong. Their religion of liberalism embraces Moral Relativism.
For these reasons, Palin and Tea Party are as repulsive to liberals as showing Dracula the cross.

Washington’s Self-Anointed Deities

Comments Off
by    in Bible Centered,Constitution,Demagoguary,Environmental,Progressism,Secularism

When this country was founded, citizens largely looked to God, their families, or themselves for help or comfort. Now, many Americans have stopped looking towards the traditional resources, and instead look more and more to government. Thereby, in a mutually dysfunctional relationship, government becomes their god.

The Crisis that Wasn’t: Where’s All the Oil?

Comments Off
by    in Energy,Environmental,Global Warming,Obama,Politcal,Progressism

Naturally, the New York Times isn’t about to surrender their Chicken Little membership card without a struggle. Give them credit where it’s due, though: for once they were honest enough to report that the problem is now less than anticipated:

Reporters flying over the area Sunday spotted only a few patches of sheen and an occasional streak of thicker oil, and radar images taken since then suggest that these few remaining patches are quickly breaking down in the warm surface waters of the Gulf.

Evaporation, storms, and natural dispersion effects (and human cleanup efforts) are doing what they’ve done in the past: reducing the concentration of the oil, sometimes to microscopic size, where it’s consumed as food by microbes. So, once again, the sky hasn’t fallen.

Yet CBS, the New York Times, and other major media outlets are doing what they can to keep us terrified. (They never let a crisis go to waste, either.) They’re using the well-practiced environmentalist tactic: warning of possible impending doom by relying on uncertainty:

The Philosophic Roots of Eco-Theology

Comments Off
by    in Archeology,Demagoguary,Environmental,Marxism,Secularism,Socialism,Thinking

Relativism has been with us since at least the 5th century B.C., when the Greek sophist Protagoras claimed: “Man is the measure of all things: of things which are, that they are, and of things which are not, that they are not.” That is, the truth is what we make it. Such a man-centered philosophy cannot help but mire itself in self-referential relativism due to the absence of any transcendent standard.

The growing impatience of late medieval and early Renaissance thinkers with the Scholastic method favored by the Roman Catholic Church and its many schools led at last to an intellectual revolt best exemplified by Rene Descartes’ Discourse on the Method (1637) and his Meditations on First Philosophy (1641).

In a return to ancient Greek sophistry, Descartes made the human mind the measure of all things and reduced God to a mere guarantor, an epistemological “co-signer” of sorts, whose sole substantive role was to assure the truth of whatever Descartes perceived “clearly and distinctly.”

Think of it this way: God becomes the Federal Reserve, with Descartes as Ben Bernanke.

The following century, along came the celebrated Prussian Immanuel Kant. Kant agreed on the primacy of pure reason but amended Descartes by adding a kind of semi-empirical approach that vaguely resembles what we would call “science.”

The Pathetic God of Environmentalism

Comments Off
by    in Bible Centered,Environmental,Humanism,Marxism,Progressism,Secularism

The theological conclusion that follows from worshiping Mother Earth is that she is no god at all. She doesn’t even have the power to defend herself from the CO2 that is emitted when we exhale.

The real gods of the environmentalists are the politicians and the scientists who believe that they can save the planet. Those who worship the environment should understand exactly who their gods are.

Hoax of the Century

Comments Off
by    in Environmental,Global Warming,Marxism,Politcal,Progressism,Redistribution of Wealth,Secularism

Today’s global warming hysteria is the hoax of the 21st century. H.L. Mencken had it right: “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed — and hence clamorous to be led to safety — by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

* Mars has warmed about 0.5°C since the 1970′s, approximately the same that earth has warmed over the same period

* The 0.7°C increase in temperatures over the last century is entirely consistent with well-established, long-term, natural climate trends

Cheap Natural Gas and Its Democrat Enemies

Comments Off
by    in Economics,Energy,Environmental,Political Correctness,Progressism,Technology

Low shale gas prices create a problem for the renewable energy industry and for the promoters of solar, bio-fuels, and wind power.

These alternative energy sources all have problems associated with them. They are vastly more expensive than gas. For example, generating a megawatt-hour of electricity using natural gas costs $80; with wind it would cost $142, and solar would cost $396.

CFC – The Pilot Hoax

Comments Off
by    in Environmental,Political Correctness,Thinking

Back in the early ’70s, chemists at the University of California began studying CFCs in the atmosphere. They theorized that eventually, CFCs could migrate to the upper atmosphere. After fifty to a hundred years, they could be broken down by UV radiation, releasing a reactive chlorine atom which could catalyze the degradation of ozone (O3). It is significant to note that this was not proven, but was based on other work that showed the potential of nitric oxide (NO) to catalyze ozone. It was theory only, and it was hotly disputed by scientists working for CFC manufacturers at the time. In reality, it remains theory to this day. Note: To date, the concept of man-made CO2 emissions causing global warming remains theory only. There exists no empirical evidence to support the theory.

Avatar is big, loud, and bodaciousand totally bankrupt as a cinematic experience. I tried to like this spectacular monstrosity at every turn, especially with a new actor named Sam Worthington in the leadhes much better in Terminator: Salvationbut enduring Avatar is like watching an epic through beady little eyes with the droning homily that everything small is beautiful.

To sum up: Both the satellite results and the proxy data tell us that the claimed rise of surface temperature between 1979 and 1997, shown by IPCC, is probably much smaller or even non-existent.

141 Scientists Sign Letter Sent to UN Secretary-General Questioning Global Warming

Comments Off
by    in Environmental,Global Warming

We the undersigned, being qualified in climate-related scientific disciplines, challenge the UNFCCC and supporters of the United Nations Climate Change Conference to produce convincing OBSERVATIONAL EVIDENCE for their claims of dangerous human-caused global warming and other changes in climate. Projections of possible future scenarios from unproven computer models of climate are not acceptable substitutes for real world data obtained through unbiased and rigorous scientific investigation.

Specifically, we challenge supporters of the hypothesis of dangerous human-caused climate change to demonstrate that:

Variations in global climate in the last hundred years are significantly outside the natural range experienced in previous centuries;
Humanity’s emissions of carbon dioxide and other ‘greenhouse gases’ (GHG) are having a dangerous impact on global climate;
Computer-based models can meaningfully replicate the impact of all of the natural factors that may significantly influence climate;
Sea levels are rising dangerously at a rate that has accelerated with increasing human GHG emissions, thereby threatening small islands and coastal communities;
The incidence of malaria is increasing due to recent climate changes;
Human society and natural ecosystems cannot adapt to foreseeable climate change as they have done in the past;
Worldwide glacier retreat, and sea ice melting in Polar Regions , is unusual and related to increases in human GHG emissions;
Polar bears and other Arctic and Antarctic wildlife are unable to adapt to anticipated local climate change effects, independent of the causes of those changes;
Hurricanes, other tropical cyclones and associated extreme weather events are increasing in severity and frequency;
Data recorded by ground-based stations are a reliable indicator of surface temperature trends.
