China has moved pass Germany, Denmark, Spain, and the US to become the biggest wind turbine producer in the world. It is expected that China will be the largest producer of solar energy technology in two years. In the meantime, as China has been allowed to take the bull by the ring and take all of the green jobs that were proposed during the presidential race, US leaders are still arguing and posturing about whether the government should support the creation of green jobs with taxpayers money or oil companies should be allowed to lead in the production of green energy. Probably after all the oil is gone.

Foxy Loxy’s Den And The National Academy
The National Academy of Sciences has in its official journal Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences, published a list
of 496 scientists whom it claims should not be believed on the subject of
global warming. It includes people like Freeman Dyson; Roger Pielke, who may be the nation’s leading meteorologist; and William Happer, who saved the taxpayers from funding the Pons-Fleishmann cold fusion boondoggle.
If global warming were true those who claim to be acolytes would not be fudging data or squelching dissent. In fact they would be welcoming dissent in order to expose the flaws behind it. They would have lifestyles mirroring their concerns to underline the severity of the crisis.
They would be demanding that CO2-emitting coal and natural gas power plants be replaced with CO2-free nuclear ones. They would be screaming in opposition about the impending destruction of hydro-electric plants.
Of course they do fudge data, squelch dissent, live lives of large carbon footprints, oppose nuclear power and don’t object to the destruction of dams so the wise person should assume that AGW is BS.
Penn State Clears Hockey-Stick Mann
A little whitewash and the Pennsylvania taxpayer connection to Climategate has disappeared. At least that’s what the Penn State University administrators are hoping.
Penn State, which uses state appropriations for about 10 percent of its $2.5 billion budget, cleared Dr. Michael Mann of any scientific misconduct relating to the scandal.
Mann heads the university’s Earth System Science Center.
Climategate occurred when emails were leaked last November from the University of East Anglia’s Hadley Climatic Research Centre in the United Kingdom that showed leading climate researchers to have played tricks with data and conspired to stifle dissenters regardingthe global warming catastrophe story.
Mann was one of those tricksters most notably by leaving out data points in his infamous “hockey stick” graph which was widely claimed to have proved that earth temperatures were drastically increasing. The graph is something that has been scaring children, Oprah viewers and Democrats for a decade.
Anyway, Penn State, touching up the spots it missed in February , has found Mann did nothing wrong. The reasons it cited for coming to this conclusion were — what you are about to read is not a joke remember — “This level of success in proposing research, and obtaining funding to conduct it,clearly places Mann among the most respected scientists in his field” and”Had Dr. Mann’s conduct been outside the range of accepted practices, it would have been impossible for him to receive so many awards”

Global Warming Is No Inconvenience At Al’s Roost
Oscar-winning, Nobel prize-winning former Vice President Al Gore is ready for a little global meltdown at his new $8.875 million home in Montecito, California. It has six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms.
Just imagine the air conditioning bill.
Besides the swimming pool there is a spa and fountains.
Hey, it may not be eco-friendly but it is certainly echo-chamber friendly since the dino-media hasn’t reported much on it.
In other news closer to home regarding the robber barons of global warming, PennFuture feted Penn State prof Michael Mann at a “Heroes and Experts” conference in Pittsburgh, May 2.
Mann is the guy who designed up the famous hockey stick graph showing the world to be catastrophically warming. Of course, he left out data that might have showed otherwise.
The Party Of The Sky Is Falling And Guam Is Capsizing
It’s been all over the WorldWideWeb but fans have told me they have yet to see the video of a U.S. congressman expressing concern to a U.S. admiral during a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee that the island of Guam may “tip over and capsize”.
So, here is one of the many cuts of it on YouTube.
The congressman was Hank Johnson, the Democrat who represents the 4th District of Georgia. The admiral was Robert F. Willard, the commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, and who, btw, played the MiG pilot in the 1986 movie Top Gun.
The hearing happened March 25. Johnson was the first member of the Georgia congressional delegation to endorse Barack Obama for president.
Some have come to the defense of Johnson saying that the hepatitis C from which he suffers has diminished his mental capability. Joyous. We have someone with a significantly diminished mental capability writing and voting for the laws under which we must live.
And Democrats are OK with that.
Are we surprised?
Global Warming Explains Everything
The Bay Area just had its foggiest May in 50 years. And thanks to global warming, it’s about to get even foggier.

Philly Was Colder Than Average On Blizzard Days
The global warming cult won’t give up. It’s as though they are being led by Wile E. Coyote.
Record Setting Winter 2010
The 15.8 inches of snow dumped, Feb. 9-10, on Delaware County — as measured at the Philadelphia International Airport much of which is in Tinicum — has made the season of 2009-2010 the snowiest on record with a total accumulation of 72. 1 inches according to weather authorities. This breaks the previous record set in 1995-96 in which 65.5 inches fell.

PSU’s Findings ‘Untrue On Variety Of Levels’ Says ClimateAudit
Steve McIntyre’s ClimateAudit.Org, the website that has been leading the way in exposing the global warming travesty, has chimed in on Penn State’s attempt to make go away the controversy of its involvement with the distortions in data that politicians throughout the world — well, OK, not China, Russia or India — are using to make lives harder.
