Meanwhile, even more global-climate change 'propaganda' effects are surfacing.......
GuardianEmpty shelves in Caracas. Food riots in West Bengal and Mexico. Warnings of hunger in Jamaica, Nepal, the Philippines and sub-Saharan Africa. Soaring prices for basic foods are beginning to lead to political instability, with governments being forced to step in to artificially control the cost of bread, maize, rice and dairy products.
Record world prices for most staple foods have led to 18% food price inflation in China, 13% in Indonesia and Pakistan, and 10% or more in Latin America, Russia and India, according to the UN Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO). Wheat has doubled in price, maize is nearly 50% higher than a year ago and rice is 20% more expensive, says the UN. Next week the FAO is expected to say that global food reserves are at their lowest in 25 years and that prices will remain high for years.
Last week the Kremlin forced Russian companies to freeze the price of milk, bread and other foods until January 31, for fear of a public backlash with a parliamentary election looming. "The price of goods has risen sharply and that has hit the poor particularly hard," said Oleg Savelyev, of the Levada Centre polling ins ute.
India, Yemen, Mexico, Burkina Faso and several other countries have had, or been close to, food riots in the last year, something not seen in decades of low global food commodity prices. Meanwhile, there are shortages of beef, chicken and milk in Venezuela and other countries as governments try to keep a lid on food price inflation.
Haha me too.Well RG, I watched up to the point of the "action" "inaction"
on the white board.
Americans are cool with the government using global warming as a way to get into office and spend their money but when it comes to buying TVs and SUVS just swipe the credit card mang.
Life is good.
Did anyone see the irony in yesterday's NBC Football broadcast where Bob Costas and gang sat in a dark studio, using candle light, for the half-time and post-game shows while they did a remote spot with Matt Lauer, on a glacier in the Arctic circle, that was lit up like a freakin' football stadium?
We'll save the planet by sitting here looking like fools in the dark while Matt Lauer uses 10 times more energy to heat up the surface of a glacier so we can talk about global climate change.
This whole global climate change nonsense has become farce.
Good Video on Global Warming
There's also a Part II, III, and IV.
From Newsbusters, which as usual is chock full of anti-global-warming-hysterics postings.

Great find Yoni. On part three right now. This guy nails it.
C'mon, I thought this was the crisis of our lifetime -- and that of our children's lifetimes -- can't anyone be bothered to view the video and respond to the claims?
You guys will spend 20 pages talking about WTC 7 but, when someone actually posts a thoughtful, intelligent, and informative refutation to the global war...er, climate change nonsense, you ignore it as if it isn't pertinent.
What kind of forum is this?

Where are all the gardamned Global Warmer nuts all of a sudden?
What's the matter, Algore hasn't posted a response to Professor Carter?
The science of this matter is way past most liberals heads. They know it. They are at least smart enough to stay silent oin this one.
Dammit. They are no fun today...
Nice discovery for me on the NewsBusters link:

You guys are pathetic.
Meh.
The Liberals never answer any tough questions on this board. Just review the threads that end with one directed at them. Just let them fall off the front page.
This one will be bumped to the front page until I lose interest.
Weather Channel Founder: Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’
Global warming hysteria is the signature approach to everthing for liberals. They develop a narrative, draft an article of faith, and then hold onto to it until, well, I can't say I've ever seen a liberal admit they're wrong on issues this large.
Indeed. Just another variation of the neo-Luddite green movement which has spawned such artists as The Unabomber.
Unfortunately, this has spawned a movement of political leaders ramping up to spend trillions of dollars to accomplish nothing.
Funny you mention the Unabomber. I'm reminded of this:
Did Al Gore say it? Or was it the Unabomber?
I wished old RNR from Aussie land would come on in and refute
the video's. And tell us once again how he is fighting the
global warming issues with his sacrifices.
Even old Chump and GGA cant come up with one of their little
put downs.
And Yoni, the really sad thing is is some of the Republicans
are now jumping on the "global warming" band wagon.
Damn politicians don't know anything and are experts
on everything. About the only thing they are good at
is spending our money.
Well, I'm optimistic this has been nipped in the bud and that the shameless panderers (of all political stripes but, particularly, Republican) that are buying in simply because they thought the battle was lost and, therefore, were becoming joiners because they couldn't be beaters, will begin to pull back in the face of significant scientific refutation of their folly.
We'll see. I'm hopeful it's not too late.
I think I spanked RnR's butt too good for him to come back and try to dispute my claims.

Pirate Attacks Increase Worldwide
It should start cooling off any day now.
Never let it be said the U. S. Military can't fight a war on multiple fronts AND solve the global warming crisis!
Report: Somali pirates want U.S. Navy to back off
North Korea thanks U.S. Navy for help in fighting off pirates
Pirates leave ships under US Navy escort
and on and on and on the stories go...
Which reminds me of a joke, as retold in the book Plato And A Platypus Walk Into A Bar by Cathcart and Klien:
It was autumn and the Indians on the reservation asked their new chief if it was going to be a cold winter. Raised in the ways of the modern world the chief had never been taught the old secrets and had no way of knowing whether the winter would be cold or mild. To be on the safe side, he advised the tribe to collect wood and be prepared for a cold winter. A few days later, as a practical afterthought, he called the National Weather Service and asked whether they were forecasting a cold winter. The meteorologist replied that, indeed, he thought the winter would be quite cold. The chief advised the tribe to stock even more wood.
A couple of weeks later, the chief checked in again with the Weather Service. “Does it still look like a cold winter?” asked the chief..
“It sure does,” replied the meteorologist. “It looks like a very cold winter.” The chief advised the tribe to gather up every scrap of wood they could find.
A couple of weeks later, the chief called the Weather Service again and asked how the winter was looking at that point. The meteorologist said, “ We’re now forecasting that it will be one of the coldest winters on record!”
“Really?” said the chief. “How can you be so sure?”
The meteorologist replied, “The Indians are collecting wood like crazy!”
