Obama Administration Goes Environmentalist Whacko

Click here to get Caucus of Corruption: The Truth About The New Democratic Majority by Matt Margolis and Mark Noonan.
The president’s new science adviser said Wednesday that global warming is so dire, the Obama administration is discussing radical technologies to cool Earth’s air.
John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month that the idea of geoengineering the climate is being discussed. One such extreme option includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun’s rays. Holdren said such an experimental measure would only be used as a last resort.
Holdren outlined several “tipping points” involving global warming that could be fast approaching. Once such milestones are reached, such as complete loss of summer sea ice in the Arctic, it increases chances of “really intolerable consequences,” he said.
Twice in a half-hour interview, Holdren compared global warming to being “in a car with bad brakes driving toward a cliff in the fog.”
At first, Holdren characterized the potential need to technologically tinker with the climate as just his personal view. However, he went on to say he has raised it in administration discussions.
We certainly don’t want to leave anything off the table – especially that bit about anthropogenic global warming being a hoax. But, we will – under Obamunism, we’ll officially believe that human actions – such as Al Gore talking – is making the world warm up so fast that we have to get the mad scientists busy making weather machines. Perhaps Dr. Evil will be willing to help out…

Caucus of Corruption
Mark,
Please stop.
This man his a highly qualified scientist who like any good scientist leaves his mind open. Having an open mind doesn’t mean you have to reflexively react to all that comes through it. This idea was raised last year in the Bush energy department. Good science does not discount the possibilities without consideration or even discussion.
Mark,
Please stop.
No. Don’t Stop, Mark!
You doin’ a good job!
We had snow for three days. It finally melted away yesterday!
It has been oppressively cold …. I’m ready for some actual spring-time weather!
Oh wherefore art thou global warming?
Come to North Yorkshire in June–you’ll be begging for some “global warming.”
It’s the sun…
Let’s get energy-independent, and let’s stop bowing down to the Saudis. Earbama is all about this alternative-energy thing, stopping carbon emissions, yet he bows to the Saudi king? I like his
excuselie: “I’m a lot taller, so I had to bow down to shake his hand.”cam,
Anyone who is even considering that we might have to take desperate measures to stop anthropogenic global warming is either a fool, or in on the hoax.
Or, unfortunately, Mark, he could truly believe the lies he is being fed. Just like Cam seems to. Of course, that might put the two of them in the fool category.
Jeremiah, I feel your pain. We had an April snow storm here as well. We were just lucky that it stayed just enough north of us so we did not get the really bad snow.
As for energy independence – lets build more nuclear power plants. The wind turbines look cool driving from Omaha to Des Moines, but some how I suspect a nuclear power plant would produce more energy.

MORE STUPIDITY from a foreign TROLL, with BDS.
REBET!!

“I’m a lot taller, so I had to bow down to shake his hand.”
O-CHIMPY aid, to POS……um sir…..that wasnt his HAND, and you didnt have to bow 50 times!!!!!
Cam, is Holdren a climatologists? Is he? I always see replies to the “deniers” when they post about what someone has said “is the person a climatologist? No? Then why should we listen?” Like when 31,000 scientists sign a petition against AGW (http://www.oism.org/pproject/) and 650 here (http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Minority.Blogs&ContentRecord_id=f80a6386-802a-23ad-40c8-3c63dc2d02cb)
Holdren is no a climatologist. Come to think of it, neither is Gore or Obama. So, why should we listen to their idiotic ideas? As the saying goes, don’t mess with Mother Nature. The current primarily natural warming period, coming after a cooler period, preceded by a warmer period, etc, will go back to cooling. Then warming, then cooling, then warming, etc and so on.
Temperature trends tend to follow the cycles of the Sun much, much, much more then CO2 (http://icecap.us/images/uploads/Arctic.jpg)
oh william, that’s just nonsense you speak of. didn’t you read your history books? most of the northern hemisphere was covered in ice. and it was those darn SUV’s that turned back the ice age.
look, the earth is warming and will continue to warm until the end of time. at the rate it is warming, by the year 3000 it will be 1 degree warmer on average…whatever the hell that means.
i say, pass the sunscreen and enjoy the fact the you aren’t freezing to death.
I’m looking forward to the oceans going up. Something around 400 feet would be great (Raleigh, NC, is 434 feet about sea level. Would bring the ocean so much closer!)
Anybody that thinks we have the ability to control the earth’s atmospheric temperature, is batshit insane.
Period.
Anyone who is even considering that we might have to take desperate measures to stop anthropogenic global warming is either a fool, or in on the hoax.
Is there anything that doesn’t boil down to some sort of conspiracy theory for you?
cluster, it is insane, anyone who knows anything knows that man’s attempt at manipulating weather is futile and will probably create another problem that will be a disaster. “We” cleared land and filled swamps in the Gulf and when Katina hit the natural barriers where not there so the huricane was much worse that it should have been, thanks to the foolishness of man.
Is there anything that doesn’t boil down to some sort of conspiracy theory for you?
Give it up, orlando–you’re a moron? Is there anything that boils down to intellect in your case? Answer: NO!
CO, thanks for the years-old picture; fmr is spot on about your BDS. Lots of Arab men–straight Arab men–hold hands. President Bush was following custom; Earbama was kowtowing.
fmr, why am I wasting my time with this POS Frenchie?
hey william, i’ll be right there next to ya. i live in raleigh as well!
We’ll do some surfing, ragingbull!
cowabunga dude!!!!!!!!!!!

Beats me, keefer.
I guess you’ve come up empty on trying to remember the name of the news outlet which you said gave numerous negative quotes from the European press on President Obama’s character and trip, eh?
Your failure to identify the source, keefer, speaks volumes.
Anyone who is not even considering that we might have to take desperate measures to stop anthropogenic global warming is either a fool, or in on the hoax.
There, fixed. Lol!
Your failure to identify the source, keefer, speaks volumes.Blah, blah, blah, froggie…
Any true scientist would be a true skeptical on this issue. The THEORY behind global warming, the faulty models, the faulty and improperly installed temperature recorders all make the “the science is in and the debate is over” argument dubious at best.
Any true scientist and climatologist would continue to study the facts and not be committed until a definite conclusion is shown by the evidence.
This whole issue has been shown to be a money grab. Even now, poor countries are demanding funds from prosperous countries to “fight global warming and climate change”. And, just like any other funding from the UN the money rarely goes to what it is intended.
Rico,
So I assume you are driving your tin can hybrid, living in a yurt, and making your own clothes, right?
Guys, remember, Global warming is a theory, just like gravity.
Tiredoflibbs: poor countries have been arguing that the industrialized world polluted like all hell to get where it got, and they should be able to do the same. The industrialized world says no, they shouldn’t repeat the mistakes of the past, and should work on green energy. Naturally, this makes them feel like they’re getting the short end of the stick. So they demand assistance.
What this means:
Countries that WANT to be able to pollute are getting money for global warming solutions. Exactly the opposite of what you’re trying to claim.
Your claim that “the science is in and the debate is over” is “dubious” is part of the debate that’s already over. And your claim’s not even science.
“Guys, remember, Global warming is a theory, just like gravity.”
Uh, no, it is known as the LAW of Gravity. You do know the difference between scientific law and theory?
I agree with tiredoflibbs. I can’t really see how all of the parts of the modern global warming theory are true. Even if there is a correlation between CO2 levels and temperature, can they prove that one causes another? Correlation does not imply causation, that is a fact that any competent scientist should know. Otherwise, we could correlate global climate temperature increases with pizza consumption and say that eating pizza causes the world to die! We must ban all pizzas!
The Earth is billions of years old, and it has gone through drastic climate change without human interference (see the ice ages). How are we to tell that this isn’t simply a natural part of Earth’s cycle? If you operate under the assumption that humans are altering the climate drastically with no concrete proof, then you are not thinking scientifically. You are thinking politically (hah).
Now, green jobs and green technologies and all that are fine and dandy until they become a hindrance. As they say, I’d rather have them and not need them then need them and not have them. But if, say, it leads to changing an entire infrastructure because of a (to my knowledge) unproven scientific theory which results drastic loss in profits or decrease in quality of life, then I call that lunacy.
“Cam, is Holdren a climatologists? Is he?”
-William Teach
Why, yes he is.
Holdren is well known for his work on energy, climate change, and nuclear proliferation. Trained in fluid dynamics and plasma physics, Holdren branched out into policy early in his career. He has led the Woods Hole Research Center for the past 3 years and served as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (which publishes ScienceInsider) in 2006.
We must ban all pizzas!
And night baseball, too! Look at all that energy used to light those ballparks.
GW is a political issue, nothing more…

and just like you being intelligent. just a theory.
cam1,
Nuclear proliferation, energy, fluid dynamics and plasma physics are in the study of climatology? Did you not understand the question? Does this individual have any degreee, Bachelors, Masters or Doctorate in the study of Climatology?
Being a scientist, according to liberal eco-freaks, does not qualify one to comment on climate change – not even meteorologists.
So let’s be consistent.
Liberal eco-nazis are always saying that USA should lead the world by example.
I say. the liberal eco-nazis should lead USA by example. Give up their high carbon footprint lifestyle and set an example! Once I see them living the way they want us to live then maybe I will take them seriously.
I say they should give up their hybrids and go to a pure electric car. Give up their utilities to big electricity, gas, fuel oil, etc. etc. and use 100% renewable self-contained energy. They should give up their flush toilets and convert to out-house & compost.
Once I see them do this, since we are facing such dire consequences, then maybe I will take them seriously to the commitment they want to FORCE on us.
Until them, they are blowing hot humid air which in itself is a green-house gas worse than CO2.
