More UN deceptopn on Global Warming

Still more deception from the UN on global warming.

In recent years, the earth has been COOLING, not warming. Weather patterns have been calmer, the list goes on and on. It's those pesky little facts rather than the heart tugging rethoric.

We are set on a course of 'planet saving' madness
The scare over
global warming, and our politicians' response to it, is becoming ever more
bizarre. On the one hand we have the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change coming up with yet another of its notoriously politicised
reports, hyping up the scare by claiming that world surface temperatures have
been higher in 11 of the past 12 years (1995-2006) than ever previously
recorded.

This carefully ignores the latest US satellite figures showing
temperatures having fallen since 1998, declining in 2007 to a 1983 level - not
to mention the newly revised figures for US surface temperatures showing that
the 1930s had four of the 10 warmest years of the past century, with the hottest
year of all being not 1998, as was previously claimed, but 1934.

I suspect the UN's promotion of global warming has more to do with the expected taxes they wants to collect for carbon offsets than it has to do with saving the planet.

Is there really a health care access problem??

So when we hear all the hubb-bub about lack of health care availably, what is the real truth??

Beyond Those Health Care Numbers

By N. GREGORY MANKIW
Published: November 4, 2007

WITH the health care system at the center of the political debate, a lot of scary claims are being thrown around. The dangerous ones are not those that are false; watchdogs in the news media are quick to debunk them. Rather, the dangerous ones are those that are true but don’t mean what people think they mean.

Imagine that. This is a crisis??

Is there really an oil shortage?

Who own the most oil fields? The answer probably won't surprise you - the world's governments. And they do a lousy job of managing them.

Socialist oil death spiral
Richard W. Rahn
November 6, 2007

Socialism always plants the seeds of its own destruction, and state-owned oil is no exception. Most people do not realize that about 90 percent of the world's liquid oil reserves are controlled by governments or state-owned companies. Exxon Mobil, the world's largest privately owned oil company, owns only 1.08 percent of the world's oil reserves, and the five largest private global oil companies together own only about 4 percent of the world's oil reserves.

There is enough liquid oil in the ground to last generations; and when oil sands and oil shale are included, there is enough oil to last centuries. If there were a truly free market in oil, with both the reserves and production owned and controlled by many competitive companies, the price of oil would be a fraction of today's price.

Imagine that, centuries of oil, a fraction of today's cost. Who would have thought!
