The Middle East is imploding. Islamic State butchers are annihilating Christian and other communities. Putin is sending arms to Assad. Under the Obama-Iran nuclear deal, the mullahs will get $100+ billion to expand their proxy terror war on Israel and the West. Saudi Arabia has 100,000 empty air-conditioned tents but won’t take any of the millions who’ve been driven from their homes. Neither will most of the other 22 Arab League nations or 57 Organization of Islamic Cooperation member countries.
Instead, millions of mostly Muslim migrants, militants and refugees are heading to Europe – with limited money, education, job skills, or desire to assimilate. They demand entry into EU countries whose energy, economic, employment and welfare systems are already foundering or nearing collapse.
EU nations have hobbled their nuclear and carbon-based energy systems so completely that unsubsidized German and Danish electricity prices are almost ten times higher than in US states that still rely on coal-fired generation. Industrial giant Siemens is cutting 1,600 jobs in its power and gas division, companies are hard-pressed to compete internationally, and 0.5% annual economic growth is deemed “robust.”
So naturally, President Obama, Pope Francis, the European Commission, United Nations, and many poor countries are obsessed with – climate change! It’s insanity on steroids. The alarmist assertions are absurd.
“Climate change is already disrupting our agriculture and ecosystems, our water and food supplies,” Obama recently inveighed. “If we do nothing, Alaskan temperatures are projected to rise between six and twelve degrees by the end of the century.”
Projected by whom? Who concocts these fables? Nature-driven climate change has disrupted lives throughout human history. Seas have risen 400 feet since the last mile-thick glaciers melted off the northern half of Asia, Europe and North America. How did “imperiled” Pacific islands survive that?
Some Alaskan glaciers have been retreating for decades, but Hubbard is growing and Glacier Bay’s ice retreat began around 1750. Arctic sea ice has increased some 26% (400,000 square miles) since 2012, in a cycle that’s continued for millennia. The sea ice “was thick in the 1920s, thin in the 1930s and 1940s, thick again in the 1960s and 1970s, and thinner in recent decades,” oceanographer Igor Polyakov noted in 2004.
“Not only in the summer, but in the winter the [Bering Sea region] was free of ice, sometimes with a wide strip of water up to at least 200 miles away from the shore,” Swedish explorer Oscar Nordkvist reported in 1822. “We were astonished by the total absence of ice in the Barrow Strait,” Francis McClintock, captain of the Fox, wrote in 1860. “I was here at this time in 1854 – still frozen up – and doubts were entertained as to the possibility of escape.” How did cars and power plants cause all that?
Meanwhile Greenland’s ice mass has grown by some 200 cubic kilometers (48 cubic miles) just since 2014. Vikings built homes, grew crops and raised cattle in Greenland between 950 and 1300, before they were frozen out by the Little Ice Age and encroaching pack ice and glaciers. Antarctic sea ice set another record in May, the US National Snow and Ice Data Center reports, climbing 12% above the long-term 1981-2010 average, to reach 12.1 million square kilometers (800,000 square miles) – almost as much as Alaska and Texas combined!
If it’s global warming and climate change, shouldn’t melting phenomena be constant and global?
Pope Francis nevertheless plans to meet with President Obama September 23, to discuss “dangerous manmade climate change” and how to ensure “preferential treatment of the poor,” by building “clean” energy economies and stopping “carbon pollution.” Their concerns and solutions are illusory.
They disdain fossil fuels and capitalism – though they have brought greater health and well-being to more people than any other systems in history. They prefer the socialism, centralized government control, higher energy prices, fundamental economic transformations and wealth redistribution schemes advanced by the UN and Climate Crisis, Inc. By denying the world’s poorest people energy, jobs and economic growth, this agenda will sentence them to perpetual poverty, disease and early death. By mandating the use of biofuels, wind turbines and solar panels, it will turn food into fuel, increase malnutrition, convert wildlife habitats into enormous inefficient energy facilities, and kill countless millions of birds and bats.
The pope and president dismiss these impacts. They insist that climate change is a far worse problem, and that modern energy, housing and living standards for the world’s poor would not be “sustainable.” They believe “morality,” “climate justice” and “preferential treatment” mean protecting people from hypothesized, exaggerated and fabricated climate disasters 25, 50 or 100 years from now – by destroying millions of jobs and keeping the world’s poor energy-deprived and impoverished now and in perpetuity.
The pope and president denigrate plant-fertilizing carbon dioxide as “carbon pollution” and say this 0.04% of Earth’s atmosphere has replaced the powerful natural forces that have always driven climate and weather fluctuations and events. They disregard satellite and weather balloon data and records from East Anglia University, which show there has been no planetary warming since at least late 1997, if not 1995.
They studiously ignore the fact that even full implementation of EPA’s fraudulent and destructive Clean Power Plan would at best prevent a global temperature increase of only 0.03 degrees F and a sea-level rise of barely 0.01 inches by 2100. And those “benefits” assume CO2 is the culprit in climate change.
Like other climate alarmists, they refuse to recognize that some 2,300 coal-fired power plants are already operating worldwide, and almost 2,200 more are being proposed, developed or built. Nearly 900 are planned for China and India alone. In barely ten years, Asia’s energy consumption will increase 31% and some two-thirds of that demand will be oil, natural gas and coal. So a US shutdown would do nothing.
Developed countries have dug a tiger trap – and walked into it. Their constant rants about “catastrophic manmade climate change” are driving policies that shut down carbon-based energy, economic growth and job creation in Formerly Rich Countries, while telling developing nations to hold us for climate ransom.
Following Obama’s recent GLACIER conference in Anchorage, China, India and Russia (three of the four biggest CO2-emitting nations) refused to sign a nonbinding declaration seeking greater international action to combat Arctic melting and climate change. Nearly all developing countries oppose agreements calling for binding emission targets or even “obligatory review mechanisms” of their voluntary efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Meanwhile, they now insist on $100 billion to $400 billion per year in climate change “mitigation, adaptation and compensation,” plus free energy technology transfers.
Denmark is dropping plans to phase out coal-fired power plants and be fossil-fuel-free by 2050. Britain is junking its wind energy subsidies and pushing ahead with fracking for gas to fuel more power plants. But meanwhile, Mr. Obama is thumbing his nose at Congress and American voters and unemployed workers – and imposing ever more restrictions on coal and natural gas use, and more taxpayer subsidies for wind, solar and biofuel programs, on top of water, ozone and other regulations. This will cost trillions of dollars, inflict heavy costs on poor and middle class families, and bring few or no health or ecological benefits.
The agenda being driven by President Obama, Pope Francis, the UN and Climate Crisis, Inc. means our huddled masses will be forced to share ever-greater scarcity, ever-lower living standards, ever-fewer jobs and opportunities. But of course it all will be apportioned “fairly and equitably” – by ruling elites and their cronies, whose desk jobs, six-figure salaries and upper crust life styles will be protected by the same executive powers they employ to protect the planet from climate raptors and hobgoblins.
check out that pic of daotus, look at that face and his eyes , really makes ya wunder what he’s strung out on.
The Other!
Best,
D
Please stop showing pictures of Obama! Seeing him makes me ill! I can barely watch Television, because Mr. Narcissist has to be seen as much as possible, just like a Dictator!
Beats looking at those close ups of Hillary Clinton… of course, that’s all that can be said about having to look at close ups of Obama.
One is as bad to look at as the other.If Hillary gets elected we are Toast.
You got that right. Hillary would be sanctimonious pontificating tyranny on steroids compared to Obama. She’ll probably have her very own death panel czar. She is the only person on the whole planet who’ll be able to make us look back at the Obama administration and think “those were the good old days”.
I am afraid we are already in the toaster, it is just a question of whether we will elect someone this time with common sense. Even if Obama were right about the temp predictions, what serious person believes we could control the earth’s temperatures by simply reducing CO2? It is improbable that we will see a reduction of CO2 levels any time soon in any case. Nothing Obama has proposed makes sense.
I agree 100% Elessar.I am so sick of seeing his ugly grinning face I could PUKE.
I knew BO was gonna ramp up his fundamental destruction. Being the arrogant narcissistic sociopath he is, he listens to no one and does whatever he feels in his infinite wisdom needs to be done even if the majority of the country disagrees. That is the consummate sign of a sociopath and he has absolute belief in his actions. Scarey man, no wonder Mooshell looks so angry all the time. And why are we just discussing one side of climate change, where is the debate and the PROOF of the argument from both perspectives. Do they not show this because as always, we are being steered towards the desired outcome. AGAIN, we are being treated like sheep. Think again BO, congress and the minions of this admin. WE ARE FED UP! Vote the support of BO straight out of DC as in rinos and dem lemmings at each and every opportunity. And do put Trump in, we need to reverse everything this sociopath has done. Pack your bags Amigos of the illegal aliens hordes, you are going home soon.
You are correct.It’s all a pack of lies to steal our money and collapse our economy.Just more Lies from the liar in the White House.
Let’s not forget his accomplice in the white robes. Two of the MOST EVIL men on earth! This coming from someone that was baptized a Catholic when I was 3 days old. Also attended Catholic schools. Oh yeah, spare me the “racist” bull,too! Read George Will’s column about this so called pope.
“And why are we just discussing one side of climate change, where is the debate and the PROOF of the argument from both perspectives.”: please point us to some evidence to back up this statement.
Because perhaps you have not explained it properly yet? Convince us!
Deflection. SDofAZ makes a whole raft of outlandish statements without providing any evidence. An explanation is his responsibility not mine.
It’s going to get worse as we get over 185,000 of Muslims from Middle East over next two years. Why? Because, that great institution, the UN said so. Then went after Israel, again because Palestinian men are throwing huge rocks, firecrackers & pipe bombs on the Temple Mount. But nobody has the guts to deal with ISIS that is wreaking havoc in the ME. Let’s kick UN out of US, along with Obama. What the hell is Congress doing? How does this clown-in chief get away with destroying our country?
With my biology degree mixed with some geology, I’ve learned to view things in a scientific viewpoint and time in units of a thousand years or more. This “man caused global warming” I consider hype without substance. To me, there is enough bologna in it that there is not enough warehouse space in the whole country to hold it.
Tell us why you think it is hype without substance. Show us some evidence.
He did, did you not read the whole article?
Jon said he had a “biology degree with some geology”. Then he says AGW is hype without substance. opinion with no evidence.
Attack the man? Why not explain how it works so he might have your understanding?
Huh?? Why so sensitive? John prefaces his comment by sharing that he’s schooled in biology and geology, then throws up an extreme opinion that “man caused global warming is just hype” but provides no evidence. Opinion without any evidence is an argument rooted in ignorance. I’m calling him on it for what it is. Why is that “attacking the man”?
Still no explanation!
It’s all there in the Kids Britannica video. What don’t you understand?
Its the fact that you believes in something that you are unable to explain in your own way.
Its all links and no knowledge of your own? All you do is attack others who question, you never say how or why it works in detail. I think its you who misleads folk with misunderstood physics theories presenting them as proven facts and laws.
What is your alternative NewPhysics, then, that explains the physical bases behind the observed changes??
Best,
D
Still you can not explain what you blindly accept to be true!
You are the one saying there must be something wrong with it. What is the NewPhysics that explains the observed phenomena, then?
Best,
D
One of my degrees is in physics and another is in business, so I can see the arguments from both drivers. John is correct. And you should research back into the past solar cycles for some enlightenment. John L. Casey makes a very good case in his easily read book “Dark Winter” and there are several University studies by scientific scholars rather than business profiteers that will enlighten your thinking. Further enlightenment can be had by simply “following the money!”
OK, just to recap you have physics and business degrees and agree with John who considers man caused global warming to be hype without substance. You point to John Casey and his book Dark Winter as evidence and a credible source of enlightenment.
Thanks for the tip. That’s John Casey, the President of the Space and Science Research Corporation who runs this non- website: http://www.spaceandscience.net/

So now the King of the Pedophiles is joining with the King of the Liars to continue trying to destroy our economy and drive us into the poor house by shutting down our Coal fired power plants and causing our electric bills to skyrocket.Have I got the facts straight?These idiots must be stopped.There is no man made climate change and If there was if only the US does this it would do nothing but bankrupt us and cause more problems on top of what we already have.It would have to be world wide to have any effect on Carbon Emissions,and that will never happen.So we suffer and the rest of the world continues to suck the life out of our country.This is just part of Obamas plan to destroy America.Don’t be fooled again by the Liar and Fraud in the White House.
Check out the 1922 Washington Post column to get a taste of what the Dems have been trying to accomplish for years.
date of column please? There were 365-6 days that year. Maybe a column title. Something with which to search, or best a link. Thanks
It was the November 2nd issue rather than September. Quick search: Wash. Post climate change…PDF available on some sites.
Don’t they know carbon is in just about everything including people? Why do we use carbon filters to purify water? There are some dangerous chemicals in the air
but not here. Has anyone seen the smog that covers parts of China, forcing them to wear masks? Supposedly, 1.4 million Chinese have died from pollution. Why is the Pope talking about climate? I feel like the whole world is spinning out of control. I’ve only felt this way since Obama came into office. Why doesn’t he figure out, along with Europe that ISIS has to be dealt with ASAP. Why doesn’t the Pope stick to that crisis, instead? I feel like I’m living an alternate reality.
It’s all a big lie anyway.That is why in my post I stated that shutting down our power plants due to Carbon Emissions would do nothing unless it was world wide.China is probably the biggest polluter on the planet.You mentioned the smog and them having to wear masks and the death toll..So we are far from that.
Looks like the Pope is a Liberal and wants to Help Obama push his agenda.He should stick to church matters and stay out of politics.I agree with you that it seems like the whole world is upside down and backwards since Obama somehow became President.I can’t wait until he is gone.America usually leads and there has been no leader for the past 7 years.That is in my opinion the reason the world is spinning out of control.
This whole ISIS mess could have been prevented. When they were using our tanks, jeeps & trucks in a straight line on the road, we could easily have strafed the whole lot of them. The refugee”crisis” was created because no one wants to tackle these barbarians. We’ll, have to eventually. I think Obama wants to wait. Climate change is mostly made up facts that suit liberal scientists. India & China are the worst polluters. But it is definitely not the most important thing we have to worry about. Christians who are being slaughted take priority over this whole climate debacle as well as masses of people shifting to other continents. I do not want Muslim refugees. Christians yes! Muslims cause mayhem. They don’t assimilate & aren’t grateful for what countries do for them. One op-ed peace suggested keeping them in the ME. Russia just transported manufactured housing for 1,000 soldiers. Why can’t we set up some manufactured housing in the ME & wipe out ISIS. Interesting the UN tells every country how many refugees they have to take but the Arab countries aren’t taking any. In fact, there are 100,000 air conditioned tents in Saudi Arabia for workers that are currently empty. The whiny Palestinians actually belong to Jordan. Sorry, if I
went on a tangent. I’m just sick of this whole Muslim mess & the focus on climate change. I think it was ludicrous that Obama spoke about the climate at West Point. The climate is nature. ISIS is manmade.
The refugees are coming because they are not patriotic enough to fight for their country.
As far as the USA, don’t blame the refugees and migrants (illegal aliens) from flooding into the USA, after all, the damned bleeding heart liberals, and those Miserable Muslims in the WH that are intent on destroying the USA, left the dam wide open.
The immigrants are OK since they have been through the immigration process, but the migrants tend to not wish to assimilate into our culture and legal system, or learn our language so they can properly communicate with our citizens. Multiculturalism and Multilingualism, along with political correctness (the liberal mental disorder) are doomed to drive our country into failure unless we get it stopped.
And as far as Climate Change (the liberal golden goose), it is a natural phenomenon based on the solar cycle; so maybe we should put some resources into the coming ice age, since that is what is indicated by past solar cycle studies.
I agree with everything you said. I’ve been a conservative my whole life. I still have an essay I wrote age12 against Johnson. Israel has numerous websites that show videos & has articles from Europe influx of Muslims & videos of what all ME Muslims are saying & doing. Because ?Muslims have a birthrate over 8 kids, Europe will be majority Muslim with 20-30 years. I don’t want us to be like Europe. Unfortunately, European policies have failed so we shouldn’t emulate them. I blame Obama & the weak leaders of the world to not have joined forces to rliminate ISIS from the beginning. Obama who I believe to be Muslim, won’t go against other Muslims, even if they would just as soon behead him or throw him from a building. The Iranian regime publicly called him weak (I watched the speech with subtitles) & said Michelle wears the pants in the family.
I’m sooo glad to see someone mentioning the fake Palestinians were ejected from Jordan.
I spend at least 1-2 hours everyday reading about the ME. I have watched & read many videos & articles on supposed “Palestinian refugees”. There is no such thing. I have listened to international lawyers explaining that Israel is not “occupying” their own land. I’ve seen numerous Palestinians throwing rocks & molotov cocktsils at tourists from around the world. Jordan pays those fat Muslim women to harass visitors including small children. I go crazy when they do that thing with their tongues, like they did after 9/11. The media only reports when one “precious Palestinian” is killed when they finally get shot by one of the police. Some BBC guy called them “young boys who throw rocks” being over powered by police. They even showed a little sling shot! The rocks they throw are huge & wouldn’t fit in a sling shot. Israel has trained new forces for 40 weeks to deal with these rioting morons on the temple mount. They don’t tell you how many Israelis have been injured or killed by these thugs. One toddler died after 2 years in a coma
hit by a rock. The reporting is so biased it’s disgusting.
IMHO the pope can’t stay out of politics – – churches, particularly those of organized religions are all basically socialist political structures used to control masses of people. The Catholic church is probably the largest religious political machine there is, except possibly Islam. This particular pope hails from a Communist country, and the Marxist/Communist following socialists types are of the most progressive and aggressive of the “people of faith” persuasions. And, in case you might be interested, I’m not an atheist, and I believe in a Supreme Being; this is just how I happen to view organized religions.
I can go with this, Its good to develop new ways and machines. The key word is develop, and not rush into politicly driven solutions with no thought concerning cost effectiveness. I like, Small is Beautiful, and give Nature a chance to clean up by keeping manufacturing small and local.
Almost ~500 years of artificial conflict (1543-2015) between science and spirituality are coming to an end.
Tyrants feared Copernicus’ 1543 discovery God uses the Sun to control planet Earth.
That’s why “scientifically qualified, knowledgeable” persons can verify for themselves that post-WWII physics became a tool to frighten and control the public after atomic bombs revealed the source of solar energy:
Falsehoods, inserted in the foundations of solar and nuclear physics, are still obvious for any serious physicist to verify or deny today:
I. False changes were made in the internal composition of the Sun from:
_ a.) Mostly iron (Fe) in 1945 to
_ b.) Mostly hydrogen (H) in 1946 . . .
with no discussion or debate.
II. False changes were made in the definition of nuclear stability from:
_ c.) Minimum value of Aston’s nuclear packing fraction before WWII to
_ d.) Maximum value of Weizsacker’s nuclear binding energy per nucleon after WWII . . .
to hide neutron repulsion and exaggerate proton repulsion in nuclei.

Has time stood still or what?!? The calendar seems to have stopped! Every time I think of how much time obama has left to destroy what is left of our country via dictatorial acts of temporary insanity — fully supported by our Marxist media, demoncrat party and Hollywood — it is way over a YEAR! It feels to me like his 2nd term should have ended at least two years ago! He has so much time left to do so much bad, and his last year ought to be a doozy! We cannot allow a demoncrat to take over where he left off….assuming there is anything left to be president of!!
“The man is brilliant”: brilliant at what? His article is designed to intentionally mislead and misinform. His views are extreme and unsupported by science and the evidence.
Thank you Paul Driessen for your straight talk. The environmental ideologues, the “anti-fossil fuelers”, Gore, Schellnhuber(Pope Francis advisor), the UN’s global bureaucracy, UNIPCC< UNCGG< UNFCC< UNEP to name only a few and their sycophants, wrongheaded agenda is to gain "global authority" to centralize/control, eliminate "without delay" the use of fossil fuels. In addition their goal is international redistribution of wealth under the shibboleth of "sustainable development". Director Steiner of the UNEP has given "high fives" to Obama as a world leader for his actions (unconstitutional) in the US. Unfortunately Pope Francis has embraced this collectivist agenda and has ignored Pope John Paul II, a strong champion of free markets and individual freedom. The fact is billions of our neighbors have a desperate need for food, shelter, clothing, medicines, electricity, energy, etc.. These unmet needs are the problem not MMGW. The solutions require more global fossil fuel use, not less, more global free markets, not less, more global hard work, not less, more global individual creativity, enterprise and freedom, not less.
Excellent article,Mr.Driessen. Now for the sake of the planet,don’t elect another climate bandit to the Presidency. Right now Trump looks the best candidate to reverse the destruction Obama,the man who hates America, has wrought.

Excuse me, but accusing “President Obama, Pope Francis, the UN and “Climate Crisis, Inc.” (a term apparently coined by you?) of having an agenda to “force our huddled masses to share ever-greater scarcity, ever-lower living standards, ever-fewer jobs and opportunities” sounds utterly insane or paranoid. Why would they have such a hidden agenda, which is counter to everything they have openly stood for? To what end? Is there any evidence of such conspiracy? Your “Climate Crisis, Inc.”, companies who may profit from anti-global warming initiatives, perhaps (same as the oil and coal industries fund deniers to avoid loss of profits), but President Obama, the Pope and the UN (along with most international scientifice societies? Really? You can maintain your human-influenced climate change arguments based on scientific data, but baseless paranoid accusations of purposeless anti-human agendas, and exaggerations like “Green Power = Black Death”, eliminate any credibility in my eyes.
I read elsewhere that this new Pope was involved with the dictatorship in Argentina that was responsible for the ‘ disappearances’. This is also called the Dirty War. I don’t quite know what to think about that yet.
Hear say is not enough evidence, we might say Jesus associated with thieves and prostitutes throughout his life. Not quite the whole truth however as he talked with sinners everywhere he traveled.
I do however worry about how room was suddenly found for the Pope, when the previous one resigned in a hurry! He has PC attitudes on many subjects that I question? At this time I think he is swayed on Global issues by his advisors and trust that he is a good man, possibly influenced by bad people with a common purpose. Perhaps this weakness is why he was chosen?
As we fast approach the Paris Climate Conference, we see the dangerous global warming hysteria increasing to the extent that it seems insanity has taken hold of individuals like Barack Obama.
Yet, using simple common sense and reasoning, and using some very basic data, an humble Nobel Laureate is able to prove wrong the IPCC’s global warming hypothesis, and demonstrate that the so called global warming problem in in actual fact a non-problem. Watch the following video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1&v=TCy_UOjEir0
“By denying the world’s poorest people energy, jobs and economic growth, this agenda will sentence them to perpetual poverty, disease and early death.”
The pope hates poor black Africans. He is a closet racist.
Too bad the Pope does not read the Bible especially Genesis 8’22”. This is why America exists, because we were not allowed to think, we had to accept what the Catholic priests of the Church said about any subject
Great summary article; commons sense will one day win out!
The entire brainwashed world has looked at Adolf Hitler as the most heinous mass butcher in human history, quite the contrary. The Holocaust was a fabricated fraud and lie. Adolf Hitler will be remembered as a brilliant man who almost brought an end to the criminal insanity of theses NAZI or National Zionist socio-psychopaths who are accelerating the planets destruction and the intentional mass murder of billions in record time and all for fake profits. A fiat monetary system that has been officially dead for some time. Forget Obama, he’s just a brain chipped MK Ultra teleprompter reading idiot. FEMA camps and guillotines, climate chaos, Weather warfare, GMO’s, toxic mandatory vaccines, medical mass murder for profits never seen before. Mind boggling…
