Death wish from a Leftie

Ever wonder why so many on the Right despise Lefties??

Let's look at a comment from a Leftie who was too cowardly to use his day to day moniker.

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Muslim students asked to leave the country":

It's "killing us", and yet you're still here.

Mores the pity.

Isn't that sweet??

Of course what this piece of trash wished for me is nothing like what was wished for SC Justice Clarence Thomas.

Death Panels - They're coming

Outcry: Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt provoked outrage by saying the death pathway was a 'fantastic step forward'

 

 

I guess, "Ask not for whom the bells toll...." needs to be inserted here.

 

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2255054/60-000-patients-death-pathway-told-minister-says-controversial-end-life-plan-fantastic.html

 

The term “Death Panels” was introduced to describe what would happen when Obama’s healthcare law was passed and $500 billion dollars was taken from Medicare.

Why? Because when you remove funding and lower payments some Doctors will cease taking Medicare at all and some will cease taking new patients. Hospitals will also be hit so they will reduce expansion and adding new equipment.

When the baby boomers hit retirement, and they are now starting to, there will be shortages. Shortages always result in rationing. Some by price, some by government fiat.

So there will be panels to decide. In that some will be allowed and others denied the term “Death Panels” is quite accurate. In fact, a version of them exists now in that they approve the treatment and the drugs. The difference is that, since there are no shortages, approved treatments and drugs are not denied.

That this doesn’t bother Obama is easy to understand. His infamous remarks about his aunt are well known and his health care Czar, Ezekiel Emanuel (Rhambo’s brother) is for rationing:

From this source:

http://tallcotton-ppjakajim.blogspot.com/2009/10/death-panels-theyre-back.html

 “And in case you think Palin was a little over heated, let us revisit what Ezekiel Emanuel, Obama's health care advisor, had to say about such things.

This civic republican or deliberative democratic conception of the good provides both procedural and substantive insights for developing a just alloca- tion of health care resources. Procedurally, it suggests the need for public forums to deliberate about which health services should be considered basic and should be socially guaranteed.

 

For my slower readers, that means you Lefties, that means a group of people deciding what health care services people should get. Let's pursue what he meant.

Substantively, it suggests services that promote the continuation of the polity-those that ensure healthy future genera- tions, ensure development of practical reasoning skills, and ensure full and active participation by citizens in public deliberations-are to be socially guaranteed as basic.

Conversely, services provided to individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens are not basic and should not be guaranteed.

Again for my Leftie readers, that means no disabled folks should apply.

 An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia. A less obvious example Is is guaranteeing neuropsychological services to ensure children with learning disabilities can read and learn to reason.

He means it boys and girls. Not for himself, of course, but for the "others." The children that can offer nothing but love and being able to dress themselves by age 9. The mother that remembers your Senior Prom but not seeing you yesterday.

Of course you have a duty to the state. You exist only to serve the state. Love the state. Pay no attention to the ovens being built.

Muslim students asked to leave the country

 

 

Subject: Muslim students asked leave the country (USA)

Checked this out on Snopes and it is correct. Muslim students asked to leave the country (USA) Very interesting -- the University is standing by their professor and not bowing down to special interest groups! http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/wichman.asp Professor Wichman E-mail Claim: A Michigan professor sent an e-mail telling Muslim students to leave the country. Status: True. The story begins at Michigan State University with a mechanical engineering professor named Indrek Wichman. Wichman sent an e-mail to the Muslim Student's Association. The e-mail was in response to the students' protest of the Danish cartoons that portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist. The group had complained the cartoons were 'hate speech.' ============ Enter Professor Wichman. ========================================== In his e-mail, he said the following: ===============================! Dear Muslim Association, As a professor of Mechanical Engineering here at MSU I intend to protest your protest. I am offended not by cartoons, but by more mundane things like beheadings of civilians, cowardly attacks on public buildings, suicide murders, murders of Catholic priests (the latest in Turkey), burnings of Christian churches, the continued persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt, the imposition of Sharia law on non-Muslims, the rapes of Scandinavian girls and women (called 'whores' in your culture), the murder of film directors in Holland, and the rioting and looting in Paris France. This is what offends me, a soft-spoken person and academic, and many, many of my colleagues. I counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal, and uncivilized slave-trading Muslims to be very aware of this as you proceed with your infantile 'protests.' If you do not like the values of the West - see the First Amendment - you are free to leave. I hope for God's sake that most of you choose that option. Please return to your ancestral homelands and build them up yourselves instead of troubling Americans.. Cordially, I. S. Wichman Professor of Mechanical Engineering ============================= As you can imagine, The Muslim group at the university didn't like this too well. They're demanding that Wichman be reprimanded, that the university impose mandatory diversity training for faculty, And mandate a seminar on hate and discrimination for all f! reshmen. Now, the local chapter of CAIR has jumped into the fray. CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, apparently doesn't believe that the good professor had the right to express his opinion. ========== For its part, the university is standing its ground in support of Professor Wichman, Saying the e-mail was private, and they don't intend to publicly condemn his remarks. ============================================================ Send this to your friends, and ask them to do the same. Tell them to keep passing it around until the whole country gets it. We are in a war. This political correctness crap is getting old and killing us.

Dumb dumb keeps showing up

"Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "What Dr Curry said":

I can read just fine, which is why I linked to Dr. Curry's blog entry where she specifically denies saying what the tabloid printed. You keep printing it, hoping that will make it true, but it doesn't. "

Yeah, numb nuts I deleted the insult.... My blog... And you're stupid enough to keep on showing up...

Oh well... Let me again use your source...

"The objective of improving climate models for societal needs is based upon three dubious premises:

• climate models are fit for this purpose
• climate models are useful for this purpose
• climate models are the best choice for this purpose

GCMs are currently incapable of simulating:

• Regional climate variability and change
• Network of teleconnection climate regimes on DEC-CEN timescales
• Predictions of emergent phenomena, e.g. abrupt climate change

It is unlikely that the current path of development will improve this

Fundamental issues for climate models: with the focus on societal needs and the large investment in IPCC production runs, climate models are becoming less fit for the purpose of increasing our understanding of the climate system

Recommendations
Re-orient the science-policy interface to decision making under deep uncertainty, robust decision making and scenario thinking
Re-orient climate modeling development and applications to support the creation of a broad range of future scenarios

• refocus climate model development to emergent phenomena, extreme events, and natural internal variability
• emphasis on ensemble size"

Numb nuts, that is deeply flawed. That she doesn't like what she has said to be characterized in two words is moc nix. She said/wrote what she said/wrote. And only a fool can't see that.

Now Dummy also wrote:

My "real moniker"? You mean a real pretend name, like you use? Do you actually believe that using your real/fake name means you have "guts"?

You show me yours and I'll show you mine!

Yeah, Dummy, a moniker is a pretend name. People use them on the Internet to provide privacy from the nut cases of the world. AND to allow people to see that they are consistent in their positions. Like a real "name" a moniker identifies the person.

And you know that. But you don't want to follow the rules. Obviously rules are for everyone else.

What Dr Curry said

The Asshole who uses fake monikers, designed to insult, along with IP blockerds to hide his identity dosn't like my selection of Dr. Curry's comment:

Here it is again:

"The researchers conclude that the recent estimates of 40 p.p.m.v. CO₂ per degree Celsius can be excluded with 95% confidence, suggesting significantly less amplification of current warming."

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/01/100127134721.htm

Get that??? Instead of 40 the figure is 7.7...with a 95% confidence factor.

Now, what does this explain? Well, it is possible that it tells us why the increase has stopped and been level for the past 15 years or so.


Now that was my question. Why the plateau?? Well, we have this from Rose in the Daily Mail.

"The world stopped getting warmer almost 16 years ago, according to new data released last week.

The figures, which have triggered debate among climate scientists, reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012, there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures.

This means that the ‘plateau’ or ‘pause’ in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996. Before that, temperatures had been stable or declining for about 40 years.

Some climate scientists, such as Professor Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, last week dismissed the significance of the plateau, saying that 15 or 16 years is too short a period from which to draw conclusions.

Others disagreed. Professor Judith Curry, who is the head of the climate science department at America’s prestigious Georgia Tech university, told The Mail on Sunday that it was clear that the computer models used to predict future warming were ‘deeply flawed’.

Even Prof Jones admitted that he and his colleagues did not understand the impact of ‘natural variability’ – factors such as long-term ocean temperature cycles and changes in the output of the sun. However, he said he was still convinced that the current decade would end up significantly warmer than the previous two.

Now Curry writes:

Here is the text I emailed Rose, in response to his questions:

The data confirms the existence of a ‘pause’ in the warming. The impact of this pause within the climate dynamic community has been to focus increased attention on the impact of natural variability, particularly the impact of internal multi-decadal oscillations in the ocean. The new climate model calculations for the AR5 have focused on trying to assess what it would take to accurately simulate these multi-decadal ocean oscillations and how predictable they might be. These new observations and climate modeling results will hopefully impact the the IPCC AR5 deliberations so that we do not see the same overly confident consensus statements that we saw in the AR4.

You might be interested in my recent blog post:

 

http://judithcurry.com/2012/10/02/rs-workshop-on-handling-uncertainty-in-weather-climate-prediction-part-i/

.

The flawed assumption behind the orthodoxy was that natural variability is merely ‘noise’ superimposed on the long term trend. The natural variability has been shown over the past two decades to have a magnitude that dominates the greenhouse warming signal. It is becoming increasingly apparent that our attribution of warming since 1980 and future projections of climate change needs to consider natural internal variability as a factor of fundamental importance. I sincerely hope that the AR5 provides an assessment of what we know and what we don’t know and areas of disagreement, rather than trying to manufacture a consensus. "

 

I'd say "deeply flawed" is an accurate assessment of what Dr Curry wrote.

Price of milk could go to $8.00 a gallon

News item:

"Tennessee dairy farmers soon could get paid substantially higher prices for their milk, but they’re not relishing the prospect.

Instead, they fear it could make milk so expensive — potentially as much as $6 to $8 a gallon, by some estimates — that even more people stop drinking it.

“I don’t think it would kill our industry, but it would seriously injure it,” said Deborah Boyd, secretary/treasurer of the Tennessee Dairy Producers Association.

Those “dairy cliff” fears are based on Congress’ inability to pass a new five-year farm bill to replace one that is set to expire on Monday. The bill outlines how the federal government determines prices paid to dairy farmers.

Unless a new bill is passed or the current one is extended — Congressional leaders said Friday they were working on an extension — a 1949 law would take effect. That law would force the U.S. Department of Agriculture to pay roughly $38 per 100 pounds for milk, or double the current prevailing price......."

 



October 3, 1997.
Honorable Secretary of Agriculture. 
Washington, D.C. 

Dear Sir; 

My friend, Ed Peterson, over at Wells Iowa, received a check for $1,000 from the government for not raising hogs. So, I want to go into the "not raising hogs" business next year. 

What I want to know is, in your opinion, what is the best kind of farm not to raise hogs on, and what is the best breed of hogs not to raise? I want to be sure that I approach this endeavor in keeping with all governmental policies. I would prefer not to raise razorbacks, but if that is not a good breed not to raise, then I will just as gladly not raise Yorkshires or Durocs. 

As I see it, the hardest part of this program will be in keeping an accurate inventory of how many hogs I haven't raised. My friend, Peterson, is very joyful about the future. 
of the business. He has been raising hogs for twenty years or so, and the best he ever made on them was $422 in 1968, until this year when he got your check for $1000 for not raising hogs. 

If I get $1000 for not raising 50 hogs, will I get $2000 for not raising 100 hogs? I plan to operate on a small scale at first, holding myself down to about 4000 hogs not raised, which will mean about $80,000 the first year. Then I can afford an airplane. 

Now another thing, these hogs I will not raise will not eat 100,000 bushels of corn. I understand that you also pay farmers for not raising corn and wheat. Will I qualify for payments for not raising wheat and corn not to feed the 4000 hogs I am not going to raise? 

Also, I am considering the "not milking cows" business, so send me any information you have on that too. 

In view of these circumstances, you understand that I will be totally unemployed and plan to file for unemployment and food stamps. 

Be assured you will have my vote in the coming election. 

Patriotically Yours,

J. B. Lee, Jr
P.S. Would you please notify me when you plan to distribute more free cheese?

Hat tip to Jim Monneyham over at the Tennessean

Why no really believes in man made global warming

Some dude who is ashamed to reveal his moniker wrote this in response to my post, “Snowy weather comes from global warming” posted on 12/28.

“UK tabloids and Tim Ball, the former geography professor (not a climatologist)? Do you actually know who you're citing? If so, why would you cite them? is that really the best you can do for an "expert"?”

He takes the bait beautifully, eh??

A geography professor???

Why he is almost as qualified as the rail road engineer who run's the UN's IPCC...lol

"Pachauri was born in Nainital, India. He was educated at La Martiniere College in Lucknow[4] and at the Indian Railways Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in Jamalpur, Bihar. He belongs to the Special Class Railway Apprentices, 1958 Batch, an elite scheme which heralded the beginning of mechanical engineering education in India.[5] He began his career with the Indian Railways at the Diesel Locomotive Works in Varanasi. Pachauri was awarded an MS degree in Industrial Engineering from North Carolina State University, Raleigh, in 1972, as well as a joint Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering and Economics in 1974.[6]  and partly because of the impact of meat-production on the environment.[8]"

What does Ball say?

"The other issue I discussed was that climatology is a generalist discipline in a world of specialization. Even a basic understanding requires integration of everything from cosmic radiation from space to volcanic heat on the bottom of the ocean and everything in between.

Knowledge is valuable but only if it improves the human condition. As a consequence, beyond understanding the generalist nature of climate I am especially interested in how it affects all aspects of human existence. This website will examine a wide variety of topics about the way the environment affects humans and the way humans affect the environment."

Now, I have no way of knowing if CO2 leads, lags or just hold hands.

 

 

So let's look further...

"Data from Antarctic ice cores reveals an interesting story for the past 400,000 years. During this period, CO2 and temperatures are closely correlated, which means they rise and fall together. However, based on Antarctic ice core data, changes in CO2 follow changes in temperatures by about 600 to 1000 years, as illustrated in Figure 1 below. This has led some to conclude that CO2 simply cannot be responsible for current global warming.

This statement does not tell the whole story. The initial changes in temperature during this period are explained by changes in the Earth’s orbit around the sun, which affects the amount of seasonal sunlight reaching the Earth’s surface. In the case of warming, the lag between temperature and CO2 is explained as follows: as ocean temperatures rise, oceans release CO2 into the atmosphere. In turn, this release amplifies the warming trend, leading to yet more CO2 being released. In other words, increasing CO2 levels become both the cause and effect of further warming."

http://www.skepticalscience.com/co2-lags-temperature.htm

So we get an excuse, eh?? You know, every time this shit gets exposed a bit, there's another excuse as to why it stinks. Why not just say, “It’s shit and it stinks!”

We all know why. Money and power.

This time the excuse is  changes in the earth's orbit with amplification… except know one knows what the real amplification factor is… if it is actually the cause…

“Jan. 28, 2010 — A new estimate of the feedback between temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration has been derived from a comprehensive comparison of temperature and CO₂ records spanning the past millennium.

The result, which is based on more than 200,000 individual comparisons, implies that the amplification of current global warming by carbon-cycle feedback will be significantly less than recent work has suggested.

 
Climate warming causes many changes in the global carbon cycle, with the net effect generally considered to be an increase in atmospheric CO₂ with increasing temperature -- in other words, a positive feedback between temperature and CO₂. Uncertainty in the magnitude of this feedback has led to a wide range in projections of current global warming: about 40% of the uncertainty in these projections comes from this source.

 
Recent attempts to quantify the feedback by examining the co-variation of pre-industrial climate and CO₂ records yielded estimates of about 40 parts per million by volume (p.p.m.v.) CO₂ per degree Celsius, which would imply significant amplification of current warming trends.

 
In this week's Nature, David Frank and colleagues extend this empirical approach by comparing nine global-scale temperature reconstructions with CO₂ data from three Antarctic ice cores over the period ad 1050-1800. The authors derive a likely range for the feedback strength of 1.7-21.4 p.p.m.v. CO₂ per degree Celsius, with a median value of 7.7.

 
The researchers conclude that the recent estimates of 40 p.p.m.v. CO₂ per degree Celsius can be excluded with 95% confidence, suggesting significantly less amplification of current warming."

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/01/100127134721.htm

Get that??? Instead of 40 the figure is 7.7...with a 95% confidence factor.

 Now, what does this explain? Well, it is possible that it tells us why the increase has stopped and been level for the past 15 years or so.

 "The world stopped getting warmer almost 16 years ago, according to new data released last week.

May I point out that Georgia Tech ain’t a two  year state junior college?? And may I point out that Dr Jones, who admitted in an email that man made global warming had not happened, says they don’t understand??? But he has an OPINION.

An opinion?? That’s damned thin gruel to base a public policy on that has resulted in sky high energy prices and plans to make them go even higher so that Obama’s crony capitalist friends can get rich!

So color me as an unbeliever of the first order, dear dude.

And next time grow a set of balls and tell us who you are.
