    It's even better than that, our government moves billions of dollars in narcotics to fund intelligence operations. The War on Drugs helps keep the price high, it's yet another war where we fund both sides because it's profitable for a certain few.

    That's very funny, since the U.S. Federal Reserve system is propping up the banking systems of most of the countries that have "rights" that cost other people money. There is a word for those that demand that others pay for their needs, a parasite. Most of those socialist heavens have two things in common, they are failing, and they are being propped up by the credit of the U.S. taxpayer.

  11. Re:Pffff Warming ... ice age ... they're both comi on Doubling of CO2 Not So Tragic After All? · · Score: 1

    1. "Climate Change" has indeed become the marketing sound-bite for those with the political and economic agenda to further empower the IMF to channel first world wealth to other sources, taking a cut. These is the group to which "climatologists" produce data and models to empower. They used "Global Warming" before, but with record-breaking winters and floods when drought was predicted by useless models, they decide to use "climate change" and any weather-related disaster is now attributed to "climate-change". Hard winter in Europe, it's climate change! Flooding, it's climate change! Drought, it's climate change!

    2. Changes over a few decades don't constitute climate, and yet that is all for which we have accurate records. You can't take a hand made, lip blown thermometer from 1850 and use that on a scale to show temperature growth of a fraction of a degree F over decades, but that's one gross error the "climatologists" make. It is absurd to claim the recent global temperature high (from which we are coming down from even though carbon dioxide concentration continues to climb).

    3. There are *economic* solutions being proposed that allow the skimming of our money to private funds and banking cartel. The politicians in the pockets of these elite are the supporters of carbon tax, cap and trade...it's a "piece of the action" scam the same as any mafia shaking down every store on the street.

    4. Skepticism in view of false and useless "climate models" put out by "climatologists" is quite healthy indeed; one should be skeptical of liars and proven false prophets. "Where is the heat going??!!!" as our temperatures are now dropping is the wail of the "climatologist" (I always put in double quotes since fabrication and cooking books isn't any true scientific profession)

    5. The debate will continue as long as this economic scam continues to be perpetrated, there are enough intelligent people, which include real geophysicists and meteorologists, who won't play ball with scientific fraudsters and big finance elite with an agenda

    6. We don't need ham fisted solutions to non-existent problems. We're presently cooling off of highs of 1998-2005 even though CO2 continues to climb. Q.E.D.-B.S.

    Your absurd statement about danger to millions is quite laughable, climate kills people every year even when not changing. Of course climate is always changing. For example, sea level has been rising since the last ice age, and will continue to rise. For example, to use a whine of the climatatologists, those who live at essentially sea level will have their land flooded, it's a certainty which nothing will change.

    but real world objects don't have "uniform gravitational fields". Distinguishing your accelerating frame from being on a planet with 1 g is trivial. The force on a planet appears to come from nearly a point, the center of mass. The force on a planet obeys the inverse square law above the surface. Spinning around a convenient axis on a radius of hundreds of meters or less will have even more tell-tales that a human inner ear will notice.
