EERE

Is the "I" Left Out?

I spend a lot of time on the net. Recently I came across the acronym “EERE”. It stands for the following: Energy Efficient and Renewable Energy”. It's a web site used to inform us about the latest developments concerning the environment. It is a mouthpiece for the Environmental Protection Agency. This department is always partisan depending on which party holds the White House. Nothing new here. It did tempt my appetite for more information about this powerful and intrusive group of do gooders. So, I signed up for news releases from the various sub-departments. I don't know exactly what it costs in manpower, but the number of emails I get daily is so large that it overwhelms my other incoming messages.

There are many self congratulatory releases, then awards to schools, individuals and something they are exceedingly proud to tout. The fines that this one agency costs our private business and regular individuals is astronomical. The power they wield is comparable to the IRS. When I said someone left out the “I”, I meant that it should more aptly be “EERIE”. I think think the “I” should probably stand for “Insane”. Take a look at the following list. It is only a small collection that I put together over the last week or so.

And the list goes on and on and on. I guess it would be silly to suggest that we could just let our fellow citizens simply clean up any mess they might have made without sticking it to them with a punitive fine. The EPA always over reaches. They have the authority and they love to step on business and individuals. The rules and regulations are excessive in the first place. All this crap about CO2, etc. causing “global warming” is the same stretch of credulity. Watch the back door on this one!

We only need 2 federal departments. That would be defense (including veterans affairs) and state (sortof). The Department of the Treasury has proved we would be better off without them. Ahh. Heaven. Oh well, I guess we have to trust'em. Huh?

P.S. In my last post, I promised copies of the "Invitation To Debate" which are being sent to Al Gore. Give me a little more time since my scanner is acting like a liberal; nutsy. Same with the special "collectibles". They will be ready pdq.

By the way, we have already sent 7 of the invites.

Al Can Still Make It!

Thank goodness! We can rest knowing that Al Gore doesn't have to worry about income from his failing television station. He recently pulled his IPO to push Current TV down unsuspecting investors' naive throats. I've got a strong feeling that Al is running just a little bit scared. He can see the public in all polls is seeing through the ruse of his global warming pap. So, he had hoped to get a good portion of the stock shares in his TV venture exchanged for cash. But, "current market conditions" convinced his friends on Wall Street to cool (pun intended) the new issue.

The real news is that he has achieved new powers! Powers over the climate! So many events that he has recently attended have accompanied cold weather, snowy weather, sleet and all kinds of weather that don't include hot, much less warm. So, we now can see him using these powers to cool the hot spots around the world. As soon as he gets this new "gift" fine tuned and promoted, he can make millions! Can you imagine a beach in Hawaii that wants snow for a party. Call the "Snowman, Inc." and your celebration can begin.

We can imagine that this new capability might "tax" (there's that ugly cap and trade word) his supernatural capabilities. So, rumor has it that Speaker Pelosi might join the firm. She can just say she's going to be some place and the snow shall arrive. I'm sure that these two can train "little helper Snowmen" to join the firm.

But wait! They might very easily have a new division to add to the company. There is a potential plan to add another even "more scientific" finger to the operation. It would be basically the "middle finger" given to the American public. Gore and Obama might soon be shooting the very pollutants they claim is causing "global warming" into the atmosphere to cool the earth. Go figure! I guess we just have to trust them.



We at this blog have sent 5, almost weekly, invitations to Al Gore to debate someone of national stature on the entire "Global Warming" issue. We have not heard a word either way. We intend to continue this mission and "heat" it up. Soon, we will be offering some very clever, we think, but absurd products for sale. We will use money from these to promote, in a very big way, a potential debate. If it is not to happen, our intent is to embarrass the entire movement (religion) into their own oblivion. That's where it belongs!

P.S. Copies of all the invitations to debate with verification of sending dates will be attached to our next blog.

Are things changing besides the climate?

There are some minds that have changed and they're going public. For whatever reason, many scientists are turning against Al Gore's foregone conclusion that climate change is being drastically effected by man. We owe a lot to Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma. He is now the Vice-Chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. His steadfast opposition to Al Gore and his ilk has been unflappable. The following is a compilation of many scientists who do not, for scientific reasons, condone Al Gores chicanery:

Climate Momentum Shifting: Prominent Scientists Reverse Belief in Man-made Global Warming - Now Skeptics

Growing Number of Scientists Convert to Skeptics After Reviewing New Research

Following the U.S. Senate's vote today on a global warming measure (see today's AP article: Senate Defeats Climate Change Measure,) it is an opportune time to examine the recent and quite remarkable momentum shift taking place in climate science. Many former believers in catastrophic man-made global warming have recently reversed themselves and are now climate skeptics. The names included below are just a sampling of the prominent scientists who have spoken out recently to oppose former Vice President Al Gore, the United Nations, and the media driven “consensus” on man-made global warming.

The list below is just the tip of the iceberg. A more detailed and comprehensive sampling of scientists who have only recently spoken out against climate hysteria will be forthcoming in a soon to be released U.S. Senate report. Please stay tuned to this website, as this new government report is set to redefine the current climate debate.

In the meantime, please review the list of scientists below and ask yourself why the media is missing one of the biggest stories in climate of 2007. Feel free to distribute the partial list of scientists who recently converted to skeptics to your local schools and universities. The voices of rank and file scientists opposing climate doomsayers can serve as a counter to the alarmism that children are being exposed to on a daily basis. (See Washington Post April 16, 2007 article about kids fearing of a “climactic Armageddon” )

The media's climate fear factor seemingly grows louder even as the latest science grows less and less alarming by the day. (See Der Spiegel May 7, 2007 article: Not the End of the World as We Know It ) It is also worth noting that the proponents of climate fears are increasingly attempting to suppress dissent by skeptics. (See UPI May 10, 2007 article: U.N. official says it's 'completely immoral' to doubt global warming fears )

Once Believers, Now Skeptics ( Link to pdf version )

Geophysicist Dr. Claude Allegre, a top geophysicist and French Socialist who has authored more than 100 scientific articles and written 11 books and received numerous scientific awards including the Goldschmidt Medal from the Geochemical Society of the United States, converted from climate alarmist to skeptic in 2006. Allegre, who was one of the first scientists to sound global warming fears 20 years ago, now says the cause of climate change is "unknown" and accused the “prophets of doom of global warming” of being motivated by money, noting that "the ecology of helpless protesting has become a very lucrative business for some people!" “Glaciers’ chronicles or historical archives point to the fact that climate is a capricious phenomena. This fact is confirmed by mathematical meteorological theories. So, let us be cautious,” Allegre explained in a September 21, 2006 article in the French newspaper L'EXPRESS. The National Post in Canada also profiled Allegre on March 2, 2007, noting “Allegre has the highest environmental credentials. The author of early environmental books, he fought successful battles to protect the ozone layer from CFCs and public health from lead pollution.” Allegre now calls fears of a climate disaster "simplistic and obscuring the true dangers” mocks "the greenhouse-gas fanatics whose proclamations consist in denouncing man's role on the climate without doing anything about it except organizing conferences and preparing protocols that become dead letters." Allegre, a member of both the French and U.S. Academy of Sciences, had previously expressed concern about manmade global warming. "By burning fossil fuels, man enhanced the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which has raised the global mean temperature by half a degree in the last century," Allegre wrote 20 years ago. In addition, Allegre was one of 1500 scientists who signed a November 18, 1992 letter titled “World Scientists' Warning to Humanity” in which the scientists warned that global warming’s “potential risks are very great.”

Geologist Bruno Wiskel of the University of Alberta recently reversed his view of man-made climate change and instead became a global warming skeptic. Wiskel was once such a big believer in man-made global warming that he set out to build a “Kyoto house” in honor of the UN sanctioned Kyoto Protocol which was signed in 1997. Wiskel wanted to prove that the Kyoto Protocol’s goals were achievable by people making small changes in their lives. But after further examining the science behind Kyoto, Wiskel reversed his scientific views completely and became such a strong skeptic, that he recently wrote a book titled “The Emperor's New Climate: Debunking the Myth of Global Warming.” A November 15, 2006 Edmonton Sun article explains Wiskel’s conversion while building his “Kyoto house”: “Instead, he said he realized global warming theory was full of holes and ‘red flags,’ and became convinced that humans are not responsible for rising temperatures.” Wiskel now says “the truth has to start somewhere.” Noting that the Earth has been warming for 18,000 years, Wiskel told the Canadian newspaper, “If this happened once and we were the cause of it, that would be cause for concern. But glaciers have been coming and going for billions of years." Wiskel also said that global warming has gone "from a science to a religion” and noted that research money is being funneled into promoting climate alarmism instead of funding areas he considers more worthy. "If you funnel money into things that can't be changed, the money is not going into the places that it is needed,” he said. (Continue with further examples)

Al Gore's "global warming" seems to keep hitting some snags. Now, they have started calling it "climate change". Anything different or unusual can now be the result of "climate change"! If the "new religion" crowd comes up with any more crocks, we can do away with septic tanks.

Our motto is "Forget Green, Think Lean!" So:

We are offering this official invitation for Al Gore to publicly debate a representative of the "deniers". Al or his public relations person can reach us at:

C'mon Al. Put your "footprint" down and convince us!

Green Days Ahead!

I Got My Carbon Credit Card



Like many people, when checking my mail the other day, I received mostly bills, one check and a couple of pre-approved credit card offers. Most intriguing was the card with dancing penguins on the front. The accompanying letter started, "Dear Mark. You can help save the world….help fight global warming !….Sincerely, Al Gorebal, Head Snapdragon of the International Polar Bear Society." Hey, it looked so impressive with the embossed seal."
That very afternoon, I called the 1-800 number as directed. "CCC Enterprises, May I help you?" "I hope so. What does CCC stand for, and, by the way, do you mind telling me where you are?" Her voice was so sweet and the accent was unusual. For some reason I always need to know where they originate.
"Yes, certainly, sir. I’m in the Philippines and CCC stands for Carbon Credit Card." "Well, I think I’d like to activate my card, but I’d like to know how it works."

"It’s really simple, sir. When you make purchases with the your CCC, we plant trees. Trees, trees, trees all over the world!" Her enthusiasm started my mind jumping! Saving the world! "That sounds great! Have you activated many cards?" I wanted to be part of something really big! "Well…. actually…. you’ll be my second one….but, I’m new! Earlier, there was a Mr. Nader. Oh, I wasn’t supposed to mention that." "That’s okay. I won’t say anything. Go ahead and sign me up. By the way, is this the only thing you do for the company?" "Oh, no sir. After I finish my shift here, I’m supposed to go out to the beach and plant two palm trees for every new card I set up. A short pause, then "Okay, you’re all ready to go!" "Alright. Thanks very much!" I deliberately avoided trying to do any multiplication in my head. She seemed so excited. "Think green!"
The weatherman had been reporting unusually cold temperatures, but this morning, it seemed a little warmer as the sun started to rise. The heat on my face only added to my enthusiasm. I had already planned a day of spending with my new "Carbon Credit Card". I was "thinking green!" The first stop on my itinerary was to fill up my fuel tank, so I pulled in at my favorite service station. I approached the pump. I had gotten used to paying there to avoid the walk inside. To my surprise, when I inserted my "Carbon Credit Card" in the slot, a white receipt came out, but no fuel! It read, "Sorry. Your card will not work for this brand. You must go to 2929 S. Galaxy Drive for fuel." Undeterred, I drove to the prescribed address. It wasn't very far and, anyway, I was "thinking green!"
I pulled into the driveway. The overhead sign read "Hugo’s Service Station….We Sell Heave-A-Hol….We Take Carbon Credit Cards". Jackpot! They take my card. I wasn’t familiar with the brand, though, so I went to the office to get some info.
"Sir can you tell me something about this Heave-A-Hol fuel?" "Oh, si, sir." He was latino but spoke pretty good English. "Originally, the government wanted everyone to use gas-a-hol as the answer to the energy crisis. It turned out to be too expensive. Corn prices went up! That caused even tortillas to go up to $3.00 each! It wasn’t as efficient as regular fuel, so they came up with Heave-A-Hol." "I see, but what is it made from?" "Every morning thousands of the unemployed and homeless, an army of them, go around to all the skid rows across the country! The scrape up all the puke left on the sidewalks by the drunks. That’s all transported to a refinery up around Martha’s Vineyard. I think some senator leases the land to them. But anyway, they mix it with horse and cow manure. They refine it and that’s how we get Heave-A-Hol!"
I left as soon as I filled up. The visit to the station was very disconcerting to me. Talk about the ultimate in recycling. Anyway, I needed some cash so I headed toward my usual ATM. I almost didn’t make it, though. The engine in my car had moaned and wrenched all the way there. I swear there were some faint mooing and whinnying sounds coming from the rear. I was beginning to feel "green".
Finally, I made it to the drive-thru at the bank. No one in line; things were looking up. I forced my card into the machine. "What!" I'm sure I startled the lady in the car behind me. The card had climbed back out of the slot, crinkled almost beyond recognition. Out came another unfriendly looking white slip. "Sorry. The magnetic strip on your card has been deactivated. The management at CCC Enterprises has decided it might effect the polarity of the planet."
I limped home. My poor Honda appeared to be on the throws of death. I raced in to the house; furious.

"Hello!", I yelled when I finally got an answer. "I demand and explana…." and then that same sweet voice. "CCC Enterprises. May I help you?

I proceeded to blurt out what I endured, stuttering I’m sure. But I did manage to ask for her supervisor. Her baby smooth voice had softened me somewhat. Why rant at her? It probably wasn’t her fault. Let me rant at her boss!
"May I help you?" Another sweet voice; seemed identical. I began explaining the trials I had gone through; I’m sure in a low rage. "Sir. What you need is our PCCC." "PCCC! What in the world is that?" I was beside myself.
That is our "Premier Carbon Credit Card". The CCC is made of switch grass and alfalfa. Doesn’t hold up well in those machines….also, we’ve deactivated the magnetic strip on them. I can get you a PCCC almost immediately." She was so matter-of-fact that it disarmed me. "We’re all under the umbrella of the United Nations. I can connect you with them." "United Nations!", I was incredulous. "I don’t know if I can get credit with the U.N. Is it very tough?" "Oh, no sir. It won’t be any problem at all. It gets handled through the same department that used to handle the ‘Oil For Food Program’. Their offices are in Ghana. I’ll connect you. Please hold." "Well, okay, if you think it will work." The telephone rang, changed tones, rang some more, then finally I got an answer.
"Hello. Premier Carbon Credit Card. May I help you?" The voice sounded very familiar. I had heard it many times, but couldn’t quite put a name to it. "Yes. My name is Mark Harris. To whom am I speaking?" "Kofi…" I hung up. I knew I was turning "green".

Relaxation beckoned me. The day had brought exasperation, frustration and unusual emotions. The coffee tasted good as I flipped through the "Times". A particular article had grabbed my attention. It was about a couple who had foregone the use of toilet paper. I assumed it was to help lower the use of trees. The lid clanging down on my mailbox drew me from my reading.
"Same old stuff", I murmured as I sifted through the stack of letters. Then, I noticed a parcel at the foot of the door. It was from a friend. I love packages, so I feverishly unwrapped it.
"Dear Mark", the note started, "You had mentioned you were going green. Thought this might help. Let me know how it turns out. Ralph."
The box inside was labeled, "Tranquilo…. Invisible Toilet Paper". Huh? My mind raced back to the article I had just been reading in the newspaper. I turned the end of the dispenser box to me. It read: "Instructions For Use….Start using less and less of your regular toilet paper; more and more of Tranquilo. As time goes by you’ll reach a point where you realize what "going green" really means to you."
My door slammed behind me.

Al Gore, The Man With All The Facts?

Why Does He Keep Us Guessing?

The truth is, we may be guessing. Because we, like him, aren't sure about "global warming". We can study many things about the earth. We can anticipate some changes, but we can't pinpoint many of them. It's a lot easier to look at something that just happened and maybe explain it. Most all of us are back trackers when it comes to the climate and not fortune tellers when it comes to the future. We are terrible at predicting how many hurricanes will come into being and how strong they will be and where they will land. That's with the most advanced satellite systems in history.

Around 30 years ago, "all" of the scientists were predicting the coming "ice age". What happened to that? Well, lo and behold, if you like jumping on bandwagons you may get out your jumping shoes and hop aboard the "ice age express"! It has just been reported, by our best services, that in the last year the earth has cooled about a full degree! That wipes out in one year the last 100 years of warming!

So, Mr. Gore, when is this hell on earth going to happen? I think my guess is just as good as yours.

How Long Before the Snowman Melts?

Unfortunately, He'll Be Here Even Though the Summer


Ever thought someone might be trying to "snow" you? For those of you aren't familiar with the term, a "snow job" is when a person is trying to use deceit to fool you. "Pull the wool over your eyes." Lie. Conceal the truth. Thus, we can turn to Al Gore. That bastion of inconsistencies and false premises. He's the guy that invented the internet! Huh? I think we can call him "the Snowman" for contradictory reasons.

Will all this snow put an end to Al Gore's blathering? Probably not. His last act
on earth will probably be to vomit a snowball! It is up to us to stay informed!
Pay attention to the real scientists. You know, the ones that are not owned by
the United Nations or other special interest groups. If we aren't careful, the
pernicious members of the "environmental religion" will press their liberal
taxes into our society and crush us! Unfortunately for Al Gore, at least for now,
