Global Cooling, Carbon Credit Scheme

Been a while, but here are a couple relevant videos for you to ponder over:

Record Lows in South Africa

You know, I thought with "global warming" it was supposed to get, well, warmer. Tell that to the citizens of South Africa which just experienced their coldest September night in recorded history with several areas experiencing snow!

Old Farmer's Almanac: Global Cooling

How long has Al Gore been tracking weather? Well, the Old Farmer's Almanac has been tracking weather for 217 years and its latest predictions contradict those warming fanatics. Prepare for global COOLING! That's right.

"We at the Almanac are among those who believe that sunspot cycles and their effects on oceans correlate with climate changes," writes meteorologist and climatologist Joseph D'Aleo. "Studying these and other factor suggests that cold, not warm, climate may be our future."

It's All About the Sun

The single biggest influence of climate on our planet is the SUN, not humans. In a recently released report, we have just experienced our first "sunspot-less" month in 100 years. What does that mean to us? Well: "In the past 1000 years, three previous such events -- the Dalton, Maunder, and Spörer Minimums, have all led to rapid cooling."

Gore: Lies and Big Money

From "An Inconvenient Truth" we have more lies. ABC's 20/20 just ran a spot on how Al Gore's alarming documentary deceived viewers by using computer generated video footage from the movie The Day After Tomorrow to depict calving of the Antarctic ice shelves. Karen Goulekas, Special Effects surpervisor from The Day After Tomorrow confirms, "That's a fully computer generated shot. There's nothing real in there."

This comes on the heels of Gore admitting what had long been suspected and many sources attempted to prove -- he has a number of financial interests in advancing global warming. This came within weeks after Richard Campbell, a spokesman for Gore's Generation Investment Management fund, continued to claim that Gore did not have a financial interest, and someone who thinks you can benefit financially from carbon offsets lacks knowledge in the industry.

Excuse me, Mr. Campbell? Carbon finance is a multi-billion dollar international industry! This Fortune Magazine article does a nice job of dissecting the industry and how it works. Companies like EcoSecurities buy carbon credits from those that prevent carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere for about $4 and sell them to international banks for about $18. The banks are risking that these credits will gain value or sell them to a European power company that needs the credits to meets its regulatory obligations (so if you don't siphon off enough CO2 as a power plant, you can just buy your way into meeting standards). How about the Chinese HFC23 (a refrigerant gas that effectively traps heat) factories that are allowed to claim 11,700 carbon credits for creating a gas that they've been selling for years? They've sunk $150 million into creating the product but have made $6 billion from credits, prompting some to point out that, "Chinese refrigerant companies have become carbon-credit factories that only incidentally sell refrigerants."

Read on... it's unbelievable how much money is being made, not from a product, but from the prevention of making a product that plant life around the world naturally absorbs and turns into oxygen:

This Should All Sound Familiar

Global warming is the end of the world! The human race will become extinct!

Sound a bit extreme? Sound a bit familiar? It should, and not just because that's the rhetoric of our current day. Alarmists have been trying to scare us for 40 years about over-population, famine, and global cooling. None of them have come to pass. Check out this revealing recap:
