Battle For The Truth Over Climate Change
Yes, we must win this battle, for the truth, for mankind, and for science.
Peter
From the following article:
http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/maritanoon/2012/05/28/climate_deniers_winning_the_war
"The belief that CO2 is causing catastrophic climate change is the driver for today’s energy policy.
Based on a supposed “consensus,” politicians, and the nonelected bureaucrats they appointed, have, and are, making risky investments with taxpayer dollars (think Solyndra, et al); subsidizing “alternative” energies such as wind and solar that are not effective, efficient, or economical; blocking access to resources that are abundant, available, and affordable—which raises gasoline prices and punishes those who can least afford it; and regulating America’s most cost-effective electricity out of commission. The increasing energy costs are hurting all of America—individuals and industry—and our competitive edge.
Roger Helmer, a member of the European Parliament, offered these comments regarding wind energy and the entire green project in his presentation at ICCC7: “Wind plus gas back up results in virtually zero emissions savings. So, we are desecrating the countryside, we are wasting huge amounts of money, we are impoverishing our children, we are choosing poverty over prosperity—and after all that, we are not even achieving what we set out to achieve. This is madness, madness, madness writ large.”
"Echoing the war theme, Helmer offered encouragement in his closing remarks: “This is a battle that we must win. We must win it for America. We must win it for Europe. We must win it for our children and grandchildren. And, we must win it for all mankind. I’ll tell you why we will win it, because, we have two weapons in our armory that the bad guys don’t have. The first weapon is the truth, and the second weapon is the climate.”"

To Andrew Breitbart, Seeker Of Truth
I didn't personally know Andrew Breitbart but I respect his spirit. We need more people like him, cultural warriors. The following article is heartfelt and very good. My comments are italicized.
Peter
I recently became editor-at-large of Andrew Breitbart's empire, but I first met Andrew when he was still the unnamed other half of Matt Drudge's monster website. The year was 2001. I'd just entered college at UCLA, and after seeing the anti-Israel bias of the student newspaper, The Daily Bruin, I had become their token conservative columnist. My specialty was throwing bombs. The reaction to my pieces was absolutely unanimous: The liberals on campus hated them.
One day, I opened my email to find a missive from some guy named Andrew. No last name attached. It said that he worked with Matt Drudge. It also said he'd been sitting in a Westwood restaurant with nothing to read and picked up a copy of the Daily Bruin. He'd read my column, and he wanted to get together.
"Hell yes," I thought and told him so. (Continued.....entire article here:)
http://townhall.com/columnists/benshapiro/2012/03/08/my_friend_andrew_breitbart
(The following are some excerpts I found significant. Peter)
"Andrew was also a warrior, of course. Now that he's gone, people will characterize him as angry, which he was but only at injustice."
(By definition, my definition anyway, those seeking the truth must always, first and foremost, battle injustice. Injustice is based on lies, usually intentional. Injustice can be overcome, but the underlying evil behind it, can never nor should it be forgiven. Honesty and fairness is the basis for all peaceful and productive human interaction; without it we really have nothing more than animal instinct. Andrew Breitbart seems to have understood that and his mission in life was to expose injustice wherever he found it. We will all miss that spirit and talent. Peter)
"Everybody got along with him. He surrounded himself with people you'd never expect -- Orthodox Jews and liberal agnostics, libertarians and social conservatives, goofballs and the most serious of the serious. He liked everybody, and everybody liked him."
(Conservatives are usually characterized by their opponents in the liberal medial as being narrow minded bigots; Andrew was by all accounts just the opposite. The irony is that it is "liberals" who most often display close-mindedness, bigotry, and hatred, athough they are lax to admit it. We see this on a daily basis in the mainstream media. The hypocrisy is palpable. Peter)
"Andrew wasn't religious, but he believed deeply in the moral fabric of the nation. He knew the value of the American system of government and thought, and he would not stop fighting for it. Most of all, Andrew loved truth. He hated falsity, whether interpersonal or journalistic or political. He hated hypocrisy and couldn't stand two-faced politicians (as Anthony Weiner can attest). He was not a manipulator. He was unwaveringly honest, sometimes to his own detriment. He loved culture and hated ignorance." (We are all Americans. We have a rich and invaluable heritage, not perfect of course, but worth expanding upon the good. The jealosy, envy, class warfare, and hatred being used to divide this country purely for reasons of obtaining or maintaining political power, hurt and pain me deeply. Peter)
Thank you for your personal stories Mr. Shapiro.
"When my father heard about his death, he wrote me, "You know how I always say that when someone vivid dies some light goes out of the world?"
( A light has definitely gone out of the world with the passing of Andrew Breitbart. Peter)

Seeking The Truth About Global Warming/Climate Change
For everyone seeking the truth about global warming and or climate change, this is a must read.

The Fatal Implosion Of The Man-Caused Global Warming/Climate Change Hoax
Hopefully the myth of man-caused global warming/climate change will die a quick death now that is being exposed as the complete hoax that it has always been. It won't be painless, and many proponents of the myth and Al Gore true believers will continue to resist in their ignorance. After all, they're desperately trying to protect their livelihoods, all that taxpayer money they've grown fat on. I know this to be true because I get to read the comments here from the delusional Internet trolls who launch personal attacks on anyone who dares question the status quo. It would be funny if it weren't so serious. I don't think the waste of Billions of taxpayer dollars is the least bit humorous, even if Al Gore is a laughable joke.
It will never cease to amaze me how many people mindlessly follow the herd, or the "consensus", or those who are content to "appeal to authority". Are they afraid of the truth, or are they just lazy? They certainly surrender any kind of liberty gained by independent thought.
So I'm publishing the following very well written and researched article in it's entirety, with comments by me in parentheses and italics. Give credit to Peter Ferrara the author. He sums up the current status of the global warming/hoax I have been blogging about for years now.

Thomas Friedman: The Polar Opposite Of Truth
Thomas Friedman, the prolific writer for the New York Times is hypocritical to say the least. If you have a strong stomach and gag reflex, read his latest editorial where he lectures us about how we must reduce our energy use and obviously lower our standard of living, THEN LOOK AT HIS HOUSE!!!! This is reminiscent of Al Gore, John Kerry and their many mansions. Does the mainstream media mention these obvious truths? No. And The New York Times wonders why their readership is declining?
