“According to Dr. Stephen Saideman and his former McGill Master’s student David Steinberg – now pursuing his doctorate at Northwestern University – the more government intervention there is in the local economy, the more likely interethnic violence and rebellion becomes. Conversely, the more economically open a society is, the less likely such violence becomes.” (Read more from sciencedaily.com)

“People will have to be rationed to four modest portions of meat and one litre of milk a week if the world is to avoid run-away climate change, a major new report warns.” (Read more from guardian.co.uk)

My global warming skepticism is rooted in suggestions like this one which implicitly call for massive government power - whether it be national government or global government. If the noise is part of a global-governance movement, we’re still in an early phase. The people still need to be made to believe. Continue the propaganda.

Of all the things I post on my blog, none is more reluctantly forgiven by my friends, as when I decline membership in what I perceive as the global warming cult. Environmentalism is important. Pollution and destruction of habitats can’t be overlooked. Sustainability is essential. But I don’t buy the media’s hysteria about global warming. I see too much political power and global governance and taxes and money in the global warming push.

This story will never make it into Television’s echo chamber.

New Climate Study Indicates Hottest Decade in 1,300 Years

I’ve had a number of friends tell me they agree with everything on my blog, except the global warming stuff. I’m a little ambivalent. I did find Al Gore’s talk very persuasive. Nevertheless, whenever the media dedicates itself to either making me scared, or making me hate someone (Iranians), all my bullshit detectors go off. I’m wary of the issue being leveraged to expand global governance.

I believe in the scientific community (for much of a life, I thought I’d be a part of it), though I recognize the lapses too, like their enthusiastic endorsement of eugenics at the turn of the previous century.

My recommendation is to shun the Big Media hype and read what actual climate scientists are saying: www.realclimate.org.

It is an understatement to say that across the United States, honeybees are dying. Their population is crashing, 20 - 70% losses. What’s become known as “colony collapse disorder” is a bigger deal that you might think, because honeybees are essential for pollinating crops. Up to a third of our food production relies on honeybees for pollination.

A wide rift has emerged between mainstream media and the alternative press, with the latter focusing on the GM crops as the cause, the former focusing on everything but.

ABCNews: Virus May Be Causing Honeybees’ Deaths
NYTimes: “. . . viruses, fungus and poor bee nutrition . . . . mites . . . . insecticides”
NBCNews: Bee Killers? Pesticides are a probably cause

By contrast, globalresearch.ca published this story which examines the possibility of mites, parasites, cell phones, and genetically modified “terminator seeds,” and concludes that the GM crops are killing our honeybees. Here’s another indy press story that acknowledges the possibility of GM crops as the culprit.

For anyone who doubts GM crops are worth investigating, see this BBCNews story about GM pollen killing monarch butterflies.

For anyone who doubts our “free” press is capable of such overt deception, watch this clip about how Fox “News” buried the Monsanto story and fired the reporters who insisted on accurately reporting proven dangers about genetic engineering in milk production.

Since I began reading conspiratorial blogs, the issue which surprised me most was their unanimous skepticism about global warming. Here is an example. I don’t doubt that carbon emission are extraordinarily high and that humans are having a profound and destructive influence on the environment and that measures need to be taken to preserve what’s in jeopardy and restore what’s lost, but I’ve slowly come to doubt global warming.

My biggest source of doubt is the disparity between big media and blogs. Big media (whom I’ve come to recognize as lying bastards) never misses a chance to hype global warming complete with terrifying portrayals of tidal waves hitting Manhattan, while stories like this one about volcanic activity melting Antarctica or this one about Mars getting hotter, seem consistently absent.

So why would they be lying? There is a theory (article here) that fear of global warming is being leveraged to create global institutions which would serve as a step toward global governance.

The approach of hijacking a popular movement for ulterior motives is familiar to me. In this interview film maker Aaron Russo talks about how bankers hijacked women suffrage to create an America in which all of us must work and pay taxes.

I’m putting the movie “11th hour” on the American Propaganda shelf, right next to “United 93.”

It seems impossible: nuclear reactions at room temperature, electro-chemists succeeding where nuclear physicists have long failed, elements changing — the stuff of alchemy. Yet many scientists can’t ignore it. They keep saying: “excess heat” and “tritium” and “helium” (byproducts of nuclear reactions). Skeptics have come down hard against cold fusion. Who dares to imagine the end of the fossil fuel age? MIT’s chief science journalist resigned over what he deemed a fraudulent rebuttal to cold fusion. Research is rarely funded, but continues. Private companies have formed around the technology.

The possibilities of cold fusion speak to everything that’s best about mankind. It is a rare opportunity to see ourselves as good, beautiful, ingenious and suited to create a better future for all.

Watch the five-part documentary, or skip to part three to be convinced it works.
