A true believer of global warming, a member of the UN IPCC editorial team since 1994 recommends reform of the UN IPCC and explains several reasons. Here is one:

“The Summary for Policy Makers is drafted by academics, but approved line-by-line by government representatives. Every clause that could possibly be used against a government position, either in a domestic debate or in international negotiations, was neutered or removed.”

…

“There are large climate bureaucracies around the world, who exist by virtue of climate science. If you abolish the IPCC, the climatocracy will create a new IPCC. The IPCC should therefore be reformed.

Here are some suggestions:

Away with the infrequent, massive set pieces. Away with alarmism – that has been tried for 25 years, with no discernible impact on emissions. Away with activists posing as scientists. Away with the freshman mistakes.

Just good, sober, solid science. Let the chips fall where they may.”

Richard Tol is a professor of economics at the University of Sussex and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He has been involved in the IPCC since 1994.

She survived Hitler and wants to warn America

Dear Mr. President [Obama]: “We, the undersigned scientists, maintain that the case for alarm regarding climate change is grossly overstated. Surface temperature changes over the past century have been episodic and modest and there has been no net global warming for over a decade now. After controlling for population growth and property values, there has been no increase in damages from severe weather-related events. The computer models forecasting rapid temperature change abjectly fail to explain recent climate behavior.

Mr. President [Obama], your characterization of the scientific facts regarding climate change and the degree of certainty informing the scientific debate is simply incorrect.”

PRESIDENT, WORLD FEDERATION OF SCIENTISTS

IMHO, it is the badly mistaken, crony-supporting plans of Obama, Harry Reid and the BLM that must be mitigated, rather than the wild animals, habitat, cows and ranchers of American Southwest. Will you accept millions of acres covered with solar panels?

The actions and plans in Nevada by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) are based on environmental propaganda and predictions from the 1990’s which have not come to pass, just as the dire predictions of Thomas Malthus and the “Ecoscience” of Obama’s chief science adviser John Holdren never came to pass. A presentation at a conference on this subject by Michael Dwyer of the BLM on an action plan for Dry Lake in Nevada referenced the 1992 book “Beyond the Limits: Confronting Global Collapse, Envisioning a Sustainable Future” by Donella H. Meadows et al. (link to book review below.) Dwyer is the project manager for the Dry Lake zone in Nevada. Among other dystopian hysteria, this work of supposed non-fiction includes this neo-Malthusian de-population, de-development premise: “If the world settles for two children per couple and the per capita income of South Korea, we can avoid collapse and find an equilibrium at 7.7 billion people through 2100.”  http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-930031-55-8

Another presentation by an executive of a solar company (an Obama and Democrat donor): “Dry Lake SEZ estimated to have the potential to generate up to 915 MW of marketable power.” THAT IS, if the land is covered with solar panels like those pictured here.

“In preparation for the mitigation strategy report for Dry Lake, the BLM held four workshops, which featured a presentation (link below) by Brightsource Energy, a politically connected solar company that received a $1.6 billion loan guarantee from the Energy Department for a solar farm in California. Brightsource CEO John Woolard has visited the White House 10 times since Obama took office, and held a fundraiser and donated $2,400 to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) in 2010.”

This is crony politics supporting a failed environmental ideology.  http://freebeacon.com/…/blm-designated-50-million…/

The same presentation provides gratuitous photos of all kinds of animals in the desert. Even if we believed that covering the land was somehow beautiful, we are supposed to believe that all of these animals will thrive when the land is covered with solar panels. I suppose that was the subject of the 10 meetings at the White House by the executives of this solar company, and all the donations to Democrats.  http://freebeacon.com/…/Mitigation-Pilot-Workshop…

“The Wilderness Society, Center for Biological Diversity, Defenders of Wildlife, Sierra Club–Toiyabe Chapter, and others supported the project.”http://solareis.anl.gov/…/fpeis/Solar_FPEIS_Volume_4.pdf

 ‘Maximum solar development of the proposed Amargosa Valley is assumed to be 80% of the developable land area area over a period of 20 years, a maximum of 6,783 acres. Full development of the Amargosa Valley SEZ would allow 16 development of facilitieswith an estimated total of between 754 MW.’ Oh, by the way, without continuing subsidies by your tax dollars AND regulatory suppression of energy resources which result in higher energy prices, all of this solar development becomes non-viable, then the companies go bankrupt, then tax-payers will be stuck with the bill to remove all these eyesores from the land. And this is just one section of part of Nevada.

Cliven Bundy is the last rancher in Clark County, Nevada and only one of three rancher left in southern Nevada. All of the rest have been run out of business by BLM. This huge presentation must have cost many millions of taxpayer dollars to produce.  http://solareis.anl.gov/…/fpeis/Solar_FPEIS_Volume_4.pdf

I stand with MLK and Bundy:  “One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

Edgar Haro in Indiana offers some good thoughts:  “As someone familiar with the left’s welcoming attitude towards millions of undocumented immigrants, excessive welfare and recognizing tax-evading, multi-billion dollar companies like Google and the NFL, I find it incredibly inconsistent to portray one family refusing to pay taxes as epic freeloaders. [Let me add:  And then there is the issue of selective enforcement of laws on the Bundys – and the many other ranchers already run out of business by the federal government – as compared to the thousands of former and current federal employees including Congressmen and a former Secretary of Treasury who have unpaid federal taxes in total amounting to over $3.5 billion, including 1110 IRS employees owing taxes who just received pay bonuses.There were 3.2 percent of federal workers owing back taxes as of 2011.]”

“Others distract themselves with race politics, obsessing over Bundy’s racial remarks or believing that the light-colored skin of most people involved is the primary reason for the movement’s popularity and growing support among conservatives, not the human strive for liberty.”

“Another example of desperate criticism against Bundy’s protest arises from the display of their Second Amendment right.”

“This is finely summed up by Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., and his inane public statement April 17 in which he told his audience that Bundy and his hundreds of supporters “are nothing more than domestic terrorists.” ”

“Guns do not inherently indicate violence or contempt. Bundy and his supporters had every right to arm themselves and mirror the federal guns that were drawn [loaded and pointed] at them. Additionally, it’s ironic that a politician would make such an insulting remark when the White House has openly contemplated equipping real terrorist groups in Syria with stinger missiles just last week.”

“Bundy might be violating the law, but it can be argued equally that the federal land grab is unjust and shouldn’t be complied with. The fact that laws can be tools of oppression becomes less ignorable considering the law-breaking and dishonest nature of our current government itself.”

“When all it takes is a quick stroke of a pen to change policies denying people their property rights, I can’t help but agree with former congressman Ron Paul that this situation is a symptom of growing American authoritarianism. ”

“Even if the Bundys are kicked off their land someday soon, the example they launched of peacefully resisting and not readily submitting to questionable acts of authority will never be erased.”

“It is an example we should follow as Americans if the bureaucrats show up at our door next.”

Cliven Bundy and those militia and families are fighting for our freedom, and most of you don’t even realize it.  But, this female, negro, liberal activist understands Bundy’s salient point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0zoee4k7yE

At a time when the travel industry, airlines, hotels, credit cards, and travel agencies should be benefiting from the extra leisure time and disposable cash from the demographically huge ‘baby boom’ generation, the travel industry seems to have lost or fired their marketing people. The revenues and profits of the entire industry should be huge and unprecedented. But, instead, today everything about travel and the credit card industry is upside down.

Let’s start for example with the labyrinthine policies for flight changes or cancellations. They have totally forgotten about customer satisfaction. It’s all about the airline, the credit card and their respective lawyers. They have forgotten their customer, except perhaps for Southwest where changes or cancellations are very simple and they seem happy to accommodate.   On other airlines, passengers are penalized for almost any change or cancellation, unless you buy trip insurance or pay a higher penalty fare for fully refundable tickets.  Reading the fine print in travel insurance is torture.  What’s wrong with making travel simple? If you want customer loyalty, then make your product efficient, simple, easy to use and reasonably priced. Such an airline, credit card, hotel or car rental agency or travel agency website would not need a “customer loyalty program.”

Almost all airlines and credit cards today are about the fine print terms and conditions. They use negative incentives, penalties and higher prices to attempt to get passengers to upgrade. Then they use loyalty programs to trap customers into repeat business, because passengers are so dissatisfied that they are constantly changing from one carrier or card to another. This is really stupid from the point of view of customer satisfaction. Better product results in customer satisfaction and loyalty. All passengers can see that airline and credit card services have been downgraded over the years. The only place lower they can go now is to require travellers to clean plane, clean the toilets and carry out the garbage.

Now imagine if you actually got a comfortable seat when you booked a regular coach ticket. Do you remember economy seats where you could open your laptop on the fold down tray and get some work done. When the passenger in front of you could recline their seat while you were sitting up in yours to work, without you have to become intimate with their hair products and scalp issues.

Do you remember being able to walk on and off a plane almost immediately, instead of standing in the aisles while 200+ people load or unload their baggage from the overhead compartment? This is classic upside down airline thinking. Instead of charging passengers extra to bring their main baggage or extra baggage into the cabin, the airlines charge you to check your baggage. Which means almost everyone tries to get everything into their hand carry baggage and then cram all their baggage in the overhead compartments and under their seats. The result of this misguided, mistaken marketing effort to generate more revenue is customer dissatisfaction. The cabin is crowded. There are long delays in boarding and de-planing. Departures are delayed. On the other hand, when customers had incentive or at least no extra charge (i.e. penalty) for checking their bags, boarding and de-planing was swift, planes ran on schedule. Cabins were not as crowded. If airline must charge extra, it should be for those things that delay and inconvenience other customers and potentially delay the flights, such as carry on. On the other hand, when passengers arrive at the terminal, we generally have plenty of time to check bags because they know there will be usually be security delays and airlines want you at the gate 30 minutes prior to boarding, also there is plenty of room in the terminal and usually multiple counters to check bags. In addition, the airline has plenty of time to check the bags in with no rush, and their customers are not waiting while the conveyor belts and baggage handlers load the bags in the belly of the plane. Basically, they are doing it upside down and backwards with regard to customer satisfaction.

Instead of penalizing passengers in normal economy seats in an devious attempt to get passengers to upgrade to premium economy, business class or first class, airline should be providing comfortable seats and more room in regular economy. Business class would then be distinguished by more services such as WiFi, more room where it is important to work or rest, better food, meals and drinks included. First class is then further extended by full recline sleeper seats, first class meals on china with silverware, drinks, services, arrival and departure lounges, concierge greeting at the airport, with concierge-assisted accelerated, guided security clearance and baggage checking.

Bottom line, in an industry like travel, customer satisfaction should be the supplier’s most important goal and consideration. Today, it is mendacious rhetoric covering up fine print. Yes, it’s a sign of the times.

Why do airlines, credit cards and most of the travel industry require a law degree to travel, to understand the terms and conditions? Don’t get me started. That’s a discussion for another time after several libations.

Former CIA officer Clare Lopez accused the U.S. government of allowing $500 million in arms to flow to al-Qaeda militants who opposed Gaddafi in 2011. The Obama administration is accused of ‘switching sides in the war on terror.’ As a result, Ambassador Stevens and at least 3 other Americans were killed in Benghazi, Gaddafi was killed along with other Libyans.

 “‘Gaddafi actually offered to abdicate’ shortly after the beginning of a 2011 rebellion.” … “Gaddafi wanted only two conditions to step down: permission to keep fighting al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), and the lifting of sanctions against him, his family, and those loyal to him.” Lopez “blamed the Obama administration for failing to stop half of a $1 billion United Arab Emirates arms shipment from reaching al-Qaeda-linked militants.”

‘Remember, these weapons that came into Benghazi were permitted to enter by our armed forces who were blockading the approaches from air and sea,’ Lopez claimed. ‘They were permitted to come in. … [They] knew these weapons were coming in, and that was allowed..’The intelligence community was part of that, the Department of State was part of that, and certainly that means that the top leadership of the United States, our national security leadership, and potentially Congress – if they were briefed on this – also knew about this.’ ‘The White House and senior Congressional members, deliberately and knowingly pursued a policy that provided material support to terrorist organizations in order to topple a ruler [Gaddafi] who had been working closely with the West actively to suppress al-Qaeda.’ ‘Some look at it as treason,’ said Wayne Simmons, a former CIA officer who participated in the commission’s research.”

“Retired Rear Admiral Chuck Kubic, another commission member, told reporters Tuesday that those weapons are now ‘all in Syria.'”

They continue to lie and give away your money.  Recently the UN IPCC published more scary statements about the increasing CO2 trend and predicted future global warming that they say will result.  Their predictions included dire warnings about damage to the food supply in the near future.  President Obama, his science advisor John Holdren, the EPA, the Department of Interior, SOS John Kerry and many others have echoed the UN warnings and they have spent hundreds of billions in US dollars under the banner of reducing CO2, and they have caused mines and power plants to shut down.  But none of these people provide real world data to validate their claimed climate crisis, the money is being spread around to cronies and many of these crony companies are going bankrupt.  

What if CO2 continues rising and the planet begins warming again and precipitation declines as the UN IPCC predicts?  How might this warmer, drier, CO2-enriched future world affect global wheat production? According to the authors of this 2014 study, which is a meta-analysis of 90 scientific papers, the outlook for the future of wheat production is positive thanks to the projected concurrent rise in atmospheric CO2.  “…the effects of high CO2 concentrations (>640 ppm) outweighed the effects of increasing temperature (up to +2°C) and moderate declines in precipitation (up to -20%), leading to increasing yields.”  In concluding their study, Wilcox and Makowski say their results “provide an overall positive outlook for the future of wheat production.”  http://www.co2science.org/articles/V17/N16/B2.php

Think and act decisively on this important information in the 2014 and 2016 elections. In almost all cases, you will want to replace your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators in these important elections. There are very few who should remain in office. My U.S. representative and my U.S. Senators and President Obama knew this travesty was occurring. For example, Ed Markey, one of my new Senators was previously a U.S. Representative who for many years headed a House committee which had oversight responsibility for intelligence operations. No excuses for Markey. He’s up for re-election. He must be defeated. It’s time for us to elect new public service representatives in Washington, D.C. If you are not sure where they stand, ask them.

Further out, regarding the 2016 election, keep in mind that Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, most certainly knew NSA’s capabilities. Incredibly, she is said to be considering General David Petraeus as her running mate. After his notable military career, Petraeus headed the CIA. The level of her arrogance and hubris is incredible. Both Petraeus and Clinton were involved in the Benghazi catastrophe and neo-con regime change conspiracies in the middle east. No doubt, Clinton, Petraeus and Clinton’s campaign finance manager George Soros believe that you will forget about Benghazi and the NSA by 2016.

Read this: “Thanks to the courageous acts of Edward Snowden, the enormous scope of the unconstitutional and illegal acts by the U.S. National Security Agency has been revealed to the world. He gave indisputable proof of the massive surveillance about which I have been writing for 10 years.

By now you know the 30-year-old Snowden, a former Central Intelligence Agency employee and National Security Agency contractor, made shocking disclosures of classified NSA documents to the news media.

Thanks to Snowden, no one can dispute that the NSA routinely performed a mass collection of phone and Internet data on each and every supposedly free American. The NSA violated U.S. privacy laws millions upon millions of times according to their own internal auditor. The NSA has broken into the communications links of major data centers worldwide, allowing it to spy on hundreds of millions of user accounts as well as foreign leaders. They have systematically undermined the basic encryption systems of the Internet, calling into question the privacy of sensitive data and, perhaps more damaging, destroying trust.

Snowden’s revelations also proved that James Clapper Jr., the director of National Intelligence, criminally lied to Congress when he testified that the NSA was not collecting data on millions of Americans.

Biased defenders of the NSA, especially in the U.S. Congress, have called Snowden a traitor. To a person, these politicians are recipients of major campaign contributions from what I would call the “national security industrial complex.”

Treason always has been defined as one of the most serious crimes. It is no less than a citizen helping foreign governments to overthrow, make war against or seriously injure their nation. Indeed, history is littered with those guilty of such treachery — Judas Iscariot, Benedict Arnold, Marcus Junius Brutus to name but a few. Snowden is not guilty of treason. His actions have helped, not injured, America. Like Paul Revere, he alerted us to a very real threat to our lives as a free people.

I think Snowden’s action can be compared to the daring 1944 attempts by a small group of German officers who tried to assassinate Hitler. In his own way, Snowden was not content to “just follow orders.” He knew his bosses, complicit in the NSA crimes, would never listen to his valid complaints. Instead, Snowden turned over documents to a few brave and honest reporters who fully exposed the treachery of the NSA against Americans and allies and enemies alike.

The most discouraging result of what this young man did has been the mass apathy of Americans who don’t seem to care that their liberties have been defiled, their privacy destroyed.

This historic crisis of trust must not stand. The American government should never be allied against her citizens in this fashion. We can ill afford to compound the lack of trust many citizens feel since the financial and housing crises.

There is a way out of this historic crisis. We must replace those in the U.S. Congress who supported this massive surveillance and those who still try to cover it with lies and claims of “state secrets.” There should also be massive pressure brought to bear on the president to adopt his own commission’s recommendations. That is, dismantle much of what we now know the NSA does.

Echoing Virginia’s Patrick Henry, the official motto of the U.S. state of New Hampshire is “Live free or die!” America, thanks to Edward Snowden, is at an historic crossroads.” – Bob Bauman, Sovereign Society, former U.S. Congressman.
