Levin: Romney Not Up To Job, As Romney Embraces Man Made Global Warming

Could someone, somewhere produce a Republican without a self-destructive streak for the GOP primary? Enough of this establishment BS. Don't tell me, they poll tested it? ugh!

That's it. First Romneycare, then he favors ethanol subsidies, and now he embraces man-made global warming. Romney is not up to the immense task ahead. He's just not.

Federal Court Convicts Environmentalist

I'm not particularly surprised that, "he's clueless" was the best defense lawyers for an environmentalist could come up with. Unfortunately, it didn't work out too well for him.

“He really didn’t know what he was doing,” one of his lawyers, Ronald J. Yengich, told the jury in closing arguments on Thursday morning.

SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah man who infiltrated a sale of federal energy leases in December 2008 to protest United States policies about climate change was found guilty by a jury on Thursday of disrupting a government auction and faces up to 10 years in prison.

In Honor Of Aaron Sorkin

Aaron Sorkin seems a tad upset, not to mention vulgar, that Sarah Palin shot and killed a caribou. Below a genuine Mama Grizzly meets a caribou. Be warned, it does not end well for caribou fans. In honor of Sorkin's outrage, if any of my neighbors put those damned silly reindeer antlers on their dogs this year, I am going to hunt them down on foot and rip their throats out with my teeth - the neighbors, I mean, not the dogs. That would be cruel!

I eat meat, there are leather chairs in my office, Sarah Palin is deranged and The Learning Channel should be ashamed of itself.

Sen. Schumer wants a federal investigation and ban of reusable grocery bags

- Jennifer of Cubachi

How many times have we heard from these environmentalists about how horrible plastic and paper bags are?

Even markets began switching to those reusable grocery bags.

It turns out the lead from those paints rub off onto the foods.One of the proponents of these bags, Sen. Schumer, now wants a federal investigation to ban these bags, and blames China for this.

British politician on Greenpeace protestors: "Armed with two ounces of brain matter"

- Jennifer of Cubachi

Yes, British politicians who are not fooled by the global warming hoax do exist in the UK.

European Parliament member, Godfrey Bloom of UKIP, stood in front of a group of Greenpeace protestors last week in Brussels, to appropriately describe the members of this organization as: "never having a real job in their lives" and noted that they are "armed with two ounces of brain matter."

In this great video, Bloom points out how people in this organization have committed the worst atrocities in the world because of their ridiculous and malicious approach to DDT in Africa and other destructive environmentalist policies. He labels them one of "the world's most dangerous people."

Reid Staffer Cashes In On Dingy Harry's Legislative Agenda

Whether it's shady land deals in Nevada, or stock bets in DC, Limbaugh doesn't call Harry Reid dingy Harry for nothing.

WASHINGTON—Chris Miller nearly doubled his $3,500 stock investment in a renewable-energy firm in 2008. It was a perfectly legal bet, but he's no ordinary investor.

Mr. Miller is the top energy-policy adviser to Nevada Democrat and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who helped pass legislation that wound up benefiting the firm.

Jim Manley, a spokesman for Mr. Reid's office, initially defended Mr. Miller's purchase of shares in the company, Energy Conversion Devices Inc. He said the aide had no influence over tax incentives for renewable-energy firms, and that other factors boosted the stock.

But on Sunday, Mr. Manley added: "Mr. Miller showed poor judgment and Senator Reid has made it very clear to Chris and all his staff that their actions must not only follow the law, but must meet the higher standards the public has a right to expect from elected officials and their staffs."

Good Grief: Discovery's Environmental Wacko Thinks Hanging Child Image Is Cool

Because they care so much about the planet and so little for those living on it, I guess.

Is Project Gulf Impact Legit?

An interesting look at a non-profit doing some things down around the Gulf with a Netroots guy, or two, involved. They stay busy on the Left. Must be nice to have so much of someone else's money to burn.

Last week, this blog introduced you to Project Gulf Impact, an organization putatively set up to raise money for providing information about the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill and humanitarian assistance to the spill’s victims. The group’s videos and interviews have become favorites of conspiracy theorists and they are exemplified by the story linked in my original post. The conspiracy nuts love PGI’s dispatches because they routinely suggest a massive coverup of environmental and health effects related to the spill. New evidence suggests that PGI may not be the humanitarian foundation its principals claim it to be. Instead, the evidence shows that the organization has strong left-wing and environmentalist ties and may not be a legitimate non-profit organization at all.

Al Gore destroys another industry and jobs

- Jennifer of Cubachi

Via @NickMarschel on Twitter. Al Gore shattered another industry. The iconic American light bulb has finished its last production on September 24th for the GE company Thomas Edison created decades ago. It resulted in the loss of hundreds of jobs and excellent lighting in favor of the environmentalist making millions in those ugly squigly bulbs, as dangerous as they are when it breaks. The fake science known as global warming results in the loss of jobs, great products and services, and money from tax payers.

The hundreds of now ex-employees of the company that made the 100-watt A-line bulb know who to blame for their lost employment: democrats, GE president Jeff Immelt, and Obama. See you in November democrats! 

Why Is Europe Leading The Way On Nuclear Energy?

Instapundit highlights Germany's Social Democratsopposed to extending the life of the country's nuclear power plants; however, the Merkel government is for extending them. Now, this from the UK. The rationale may be Green, but the power is still nuclear. Meanwhile, the US is nowhere to be found in these headlines. Obama and Sebelius are stuck trying to explain sell the confusedangry American people ObamaCare, which they don't want. If we continue under the leadership of Obama and the Democrats, the U.S. won't be leading the way on much of anything, anymore.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Britain intends to build a new generation of nuclear power plants to replace its decades-old reactors, partly as a strategy for meeting its goals to reduce carbon emissions, Foreign Minister William Hague said Monday.

"We will have, from the 2020s onward, an expanding nuclear power sector," Hague told an audience at the Council on Foreign Relations.

Hague's main topic was the urgency of an international accord to address climate change - which he said, along with the proliferation of nuclear weapons, is among the key crises facing the world in the 21st century.

Partly as a strategic decision to lower its carbon emissions and reliance on imported energy, "We have decided in Britain to build a new generation of nuclear power stations."
"I really see no alternative to that except excessive dependence on oil and gas, and imported liquefied natural gas," Hague said.
