    The levered assets of the banks in many Euro-sovereign nations easily outstrip those nations' GDP's. So when the nations' banks get in trouble from bad banking practices (and a very large swath have), the nations themselves are helpless in attempting to truly save the banks (and instead only institute a bait and switch wherein private default risk/insolvency potential is swapped for public manifestations of the same).

a pity Michael Crichton isn't alive to see this, boy, would he have a good laugh.
this is off topic but I thought you might want to see this vid mash-up I did on that engorging beast the Goldman Squid.
it's a re-cut of Old Boy (great Korean film by Chan-wook Park)

The argument is basically between:

Cleaner air, healthier food, less environment induced health issues.
vs
Smog, garbage people call food, sick children with numerous health issues and related problems.

Part where we don't get to mess up current climate which we rely on to produce food is just a bonus.

The e-mails are real but unfortunately they don't debunk global warming. They do point out that climate researchers at one of the leading institutions concerned with AGW are a bunch of manipulating crooks.

Here are some conclusions from the CRU e-mails:

- Data is hidden and manipulated to fit the AGW theory.
- They're doing whatever it takes to prevent sharing of certain data with skeptics, even if they're required to do so under the Freedom of Information Act. One e-mail reveals Jones rather destroys data than making it public.
- Corruption of peer-review process.
- Some AGW proponents have formed closed and self-protective networks.
- Skeptics are ostracized.

An interesting summary of the CRUgate e-mails can be found here: http://bishophill.squarespace.com/blog/2009/11/20/climate-cuttings-33.ht...

Unless you can read and understand the material on http://www.climateaudit.org/ you need to STFU, because you are a clueless fvck regarding climate science.

If you can't get to http://www.climateaudit.org/ , try again later, they are strangely the occasional reciepient of DOS attacks.

There are thousands more that have signed a petition that states man made global climate change if it even exists is not material.

Global warming is a hoax designed as a foothold for a one world government.  Obama was given a Nobel peace price as a down payment since they want him to bring the world's largest economy into a treaty that would reduce sovereignty in Copenhagen.  It may also be a cover story for our transition from cheap peak oil to natural gas and other alternatives (to reduce the need for middle eastern involvement/wars).

"From: Phil Jones To: ray bradley ,mann@xxxxx.xxx, mhughes@xxxx.xxx Subject: Diagram for WMO Statement Date: Tue, 16 Nov 1999 13:31:15 +0000 Cc: k.briffa@xxx.xx.xx,t.osborn@xxxx.xxx

Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,

Once Tim's got a diagram here we'll send that either later today or first thing tomorrow.

I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline. Mike's series got the annual land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999 for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.

Thanks for the comments, Ray.

Cheers Phil

I don't dispute the global warming. I am disgusted by the desire of some to do whatever it takes (in this case falsified research) to push their agenda onto the rest of us, even if it is for "the public good."

If the facts were that the surface temperatures have been cooling since 1998 after we re-adjust the mentioned manipulated temperature data points, would you then dispute the global warming that doesn't exist?

People, open your eyes - we have had record cold temperatures this year and are entering a multi-year cold period that can be predicted based upon sun spot cycles.

I dispute global warming - because we are cooling, that is the only logical position to take.  If you are a sheeple and are easily manipulated and led, you believe in global warming.

IF Global warming is a reality here are the likely causes based on my research (In order of probability IMO):

A) ALL of the below.

B) Hawkings' Radiation (still hypothetical, but could also be called the Higgs Boson aka. The God Particle.  The EU has spent 10$Bn Euros to build CERN, which is designed specifically to find this particle. FERMI-lab is the American counterpart, looking for the same particle.) emanating from the Super Massive Spinning Black Hole that resides at the center of our galaxy.  Think of the Earth, where is it hottest?  The equator.  Why?  2012 represents the time when the earth will be exactly in the center of the galactic equator (paper thin by galactic standards, but it will take us about 4 years to pass through the equator, entering in 2010, exiting in 2014 (incidentally; ALL NASA space flights have been canceled for the years 2010-2014 ( they say it's for retrofitting, but I think that's bullshit))).  Think of it like this.  As the earth spins round and round, it rotates around the sun, our solar system also revolves around the center of the galaxy, but it also oscillates above and below the galactic equator.  As of 2015 my opinion is that we will be heading more to the next ice age than a desert Earth.

C) Magnetic Field decay.  The Earths magnetic field protects us from the harshest radiation of the sun, and has been decaying faster than the US$ in the last 20 years (joke, but you get the point).  It is hypothesized that this dispersion of the magnetic field is also the cause of mass migration disruption of birds, whales, bees, etc., however no concrete evidence is yet available... I wonder why... The magnetic field decay could also be the result of (B), further magnifying the effects of (B).

D) The Sun is actually getting hotter.  I realize this is disputed by most of the academic scientific community, but most of them are tools, much like economists.  We wouldn't want people knowing the truth, their heads might explode ( especially if one were to consider the implications of a warming Sun ).

E) Natural green-house gasses + domesticated livestock green house gases + human generated green house gases. Considering the magnitude of the other options, this is the smallest contributor to the issue of global warming.  Is it still part of the problem? Sure, but it is my assertion that if ALL factories were to shut down, ALL livestock were to be terminated, and ALL cars destroyed, there is still the issue of all the naturally occuring gases and global warming would still continue until 2015.

It's not reality so you can save some time on the typing.  Research the sun spot cycles and you will have your answer about cycles here on earth - despite the humanists deepest desires, mankind is not at the center of the universe and can't make much impact on temperatures.  Get this, the polar ice caps are ACTUALLY EXPANDING (2008) - can you believe it? Fortunately the polar bears will have plenty of land when they are tired of swimming.

You missed the only man made device that can impact the weather patterns - HAARP, and its interaction with the ionosphere is intentional.

Yes I am well aware of HAARP and it's ability to use electromagnetics and the ionosphere to not only alter weather patterns, but also cause earthquakes.  This is Nikola Tesla's technology, which is filed under "National Security".
