Mars Melt Hints at Solar, Not Human, Cause for Warming, Scientist Says

You’re not likely to hear this in the Mainstream Media, this being against what the high priests of the global warming cult are preaching..

Excerpts:

Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet’s recent climate changes have a natural—and not a human-induced—cause, according to one scientist’s controversial theory.

Earth is currently experiencing rapid warming, which the vast majority of climate scientists says is due to humans pumping huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

In 2005 data from NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the carbon dioxide “ice caps” near Mars’s south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row.

Abdussamatov believes that changes in the sun’s heat output can account for almost all the climate changes we see on both planets.

Mars and Earth, for instance, have experienced periodic ice ages throughout their histories.

“Man-made greenhouse warming has made a small contribution to the warming seen on Earth in recent years, but it cannot compete with the increase in solar irradiance,” Abdussamatov said.

By studying fluctuations in the warmth of the sun, Abdussamatov believes he can see a pattern that fits with the ups and downs in climate we see on Earth and Mars.

His views are not being received well.

UK: Children face criminal checks from the cradle

Does anyone else find this to be as monstrous as I do?

I don’t believe Australia is far behind, or the US either.

Excerpt:

Checks will be made on all children to identify potential criminals under an extension of the “surveillance state” announced by Tony Blair.

A Downing Street review of law and order also foreshadowed greater use of sophisticated CCTV, an expanded DNA database and “instant justice” powers for police.

The review is intended to chart a course for the next 10 years by focusing more “on the offender, not the offence”.

We’ve lost so much freedom to the creeping regulations of government, often couched in terms which make it seem it’s for our good. And since such regulations give a false impression of safety and security to the general population, it’s accepted at face value more often than not. But the problem with increased big brother regulation is that it actively encourages irresponsible living in too many cases (I’m mainly talking about welfare statism here). Think of anything that you might want to do where your house or property is concerned. You have to get a permit, right? You want to educate your children yourself via homeschooling? Frowned on at the very least. Here in West Australia you can do it (still, but for how long?) but it must be supervised by government. It’s illegal in Germany and most of you would have heard of the recent taking away of a girl from a family who’s only ‘crime’ was to homeschool. Look up ‘Agenda 21’ on the UN site – you’ll find the intent there is to eventually regulate all movements of any populace.
And there are so many more instances – you only have to do a little research with an open mind to see what’s going on. The world is clearly being readied for world government.

Come soon Lord Yeshua.

One day, pow!, right in the kisser…

Another good one I couldn’t resist posting…

Eeeeew! Get that thing away from me!

This was posted by a member in one of the online forums I often visit. I think it’s hilarious. Thanks Wally.

Heritage Foundation: "How Modern Liberals Think"

Even though Taylor has put this up on her blog ‘Mind Over Blather’ (see link in my blogroll), it is so good and so accurate I thought it worth posting as well. He does indeed analyse the leftist mindset quite brilliantly. Thanks for posting it Taylor.

Iraq insurgents used children in car bombing

This has left me feeling both furious and deeply saddened at the same time. It shows how barbaric the Islam terrorists are. I won’t say ‘have become’, because they have always been like this on the whole. It’s only because the cause of Islam is being spread much more aggressively now that we are seeing it much more clearly. That they would use children so callously shows an utter disrespect for life, and the lives of even their own. The fact that many on the extreme left support, or at least make excuses for, this kind of thing shows something quite clearly about them as well.

Excerpt:

Insurgents in Iraq detonated an explosives-rigged vehicle with two children in the back seat after US soldiers let it through a Baghdad checkpoint over the weekend, a senior US military official said Tuesday.

The vehicle was stopped at the checkpoint but was allowed through when soldiers saw the children in the back, said Major General Michael Barbero of the Pentagon’s Joint Staff.

“Children in the back seat lowered suspicion. We let it move through. They parked the vehicle, and the adults ran out and detonated it with the children in the back,” Barbero said.

Christian-Arab Predicts World Islam Takeover – Unless…

An excellent article that lays it down pretty well.

Excerpt:

“I have to tell you something which very few of you seem to comprehend. Your [Israel’s] bungling war against a few thousand Hizbullah fighters which you should have crushed no matter what, considering the importance of the outcome, has created a completely new situation, not only for this area, but globally. Your inept leadership totally misunderstood the importance of winning this war.

“As a matter of fact, the whole Moslem world, not only the Arabs, simply couldn’t believe that the mighty Israeli Army that defeated the combined Arab forces in six days in 1967, and almost captured Cairo and Damascus in 1973, couldn’t defeat a small army of Hizbullah men. As usual the Moslems see things the way they want to see things. Most think that the present generation of Israelis have gone soft and can be defeated.

“The American bungling of the war in Iraq only added to their conviction that victory not only over Israel but also over the West is not only possible, but certain. The ramifications of these two bungling wars may bring an Islamic bloody Tsunami all over the West, not only in Israel. The sharks smell blood and these two wars gave them the green light to attack sooner than they had in mind. Your problem is that you are on the defensive and they have the option to choose the time and the places when and where to attack and there is nothing much you can do about it.

“When will you Westerners realize that half-measures don’t work with people who are willing to die by the thousands for Allah to achieve their goal? In their eyes the Western World is simply an abomination on earth that has to be wiped out.

“The Americans, the Europeans, and even you Israelis really don’t know what it is all about, do you? During the last generation hundreds of thousands of children have been taught all over the Moslem world in Madrass schools to become martyrs for Allah in order to kill the infidels. These youngsters not only are ready to do it, but are actually in the process of doing it. Bombs are going off all over the world killing and maiming thousands of people, not only on 9/11 in the US, in London Madrid and Bali, but in Africa, India, Bangladesh, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and many other places. The first signs of the Islamic Tsunami are already here, but the West doesn’t understand, or doesn’t want to understand what is coming.

“don’t want to understand”

That a pretty telling point, isn’t it. I think one of the reasons the west is living in denial about this is because people do sense the danger that Islam presents, but are too afraid to face and deal with the reality of it. It’s the reason for the dhimmitude/appeasement of much of the west. Well, I have news for our western governments, and it’s all bad. Sticking your head in the sand and being politically correct will NOT change the facts of the barbarity of this evil religion, and won’t stop the terrorism. This religion doesn’t know the meaning of love, mercy and righteousness. It loves death and is willing to spread that around liberally with great enthusiasm.

Google’s Blog Software Hijacked by Scammers

A warning to all those that visit any Blogger blogs.

Google’s blogger.com is being hijacked to spread malware through fake blogs, a security vendor has warned.

According to Fortinet, Genuine-looking blogs on topics as wide-ranging as “Star Wars, school, furniture, Christmas, cars and girlfriends” are now being created to host a variety of script-initiated malware. It would be impossible for visitors to spot the danger of these sites, which now number in the hundreds, the company said. Although they look genuine, it appears that all the sites have been specially crafted to fool visitors.

Thanks to Bane for the heads up.

The UN ‘Human Rights’ Council contunues its anti-Semitism

The United Nations is set to make official its exaggerated focus on Israel by establishing a permanent investigation of the Jewish state’s alleged violations of international law.

“Since its creation last June to replace the overly biased Human Rights Commission, the Human Rights Council has passed eight resolutions against Israel, and none against any other nation.

Additionally, the council has met in three special sessions to condemn the Jewish state.

Meanwhile, a full-fledged human rights crisis in Darfur, as well as religious and political discrimination and persecution in any number of nations has all been ignored.”

This council was a replacement because it was perceived that the original UN Human Rights Commission was perceived to be ‘overly biased’. So what are this mob? Wholly biased? Their whole agenda seems to be to slam Israel in whatever way it can. Antisemitism is an obsession that is once again overtaking the world.
