A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

51 percent of Democrats responded they would give up personal freedom to reduce the threat of terror, compared to 36 percent opposed.

Is there anything which Democrats are not scared of?

Forty-seven percent of Republicans, on the other hand, opposed giving up freedoms, compared to only 43 percent in favor.

Yet independents were the most resistant, with only 29 percent willing to sacrifice freedom, while 58 percent stood opposed.

John Kerry: We Can’t Ignore the Security Threat from Climate Change

The climate doesn’t care about human neuroses or political agendas. Corals evolved with CO2 levels above 4,000 PPM CO2.

400 PPM CO2 means nothing – other than another meaningless number for clueless people to get hysterical about. CO2 is at historically low levels in the geological record.

Barack Obama is convinced that he is the victim of global warming induced hurricane destruction. Unfortunately his score keeping isn’t very good.

President Grover Cleveland served his first term from 1885-1888. During that time, fifteen hurricanes made landfall – compared to three under Barack Obama.

Chronological List of All Hurricanes

During Cleveland’s term three major hurricanes struck the US, including one which wiped the city of Indianola, Texas off the map. Barack Obama’s tenure has seen zero major hurricanes.

NOAA’s measured temperature data shows April has been cooling in the US since 1930.

NCDC doesn’t publish raw data, and instead published tampered data which shows a strong warming trend.

Note that there are no warnings or disclaimers on that web page indicating that they have reversed the trend by altering the data.

The graph below shows the difference the raw and tampered data. They have progressively adjusted older temperatures downwards, which creates a non-existent warming trend.

Until about ten years ago, NASA, NOAA and CRU all acknowledged that there has been no warming in the US. But that was before they started tampering with the data.

 In November, one of the oldest condors in Central California died from lead poisoning after being found with tiny bullet fragments and a .22-caliber slug in his gullet that he apparently swallowed with a mouthful of meat.

The 9-year-old giant was one of the earliest released in a condor recovery program along the Big Sur coast. His death — and the recent death of a golden eagle near Sacramento — are being highlighted by health and environmental groups who want California to become the first state to impose a statewide ban on the use of lead bullets for hunting.

Wind farms are going to make raptors extinct in California. Green energy insanity is the biggest threat to California wildlife.

Wind power turbines in Altamont Pass threaten protected birds

Scores of golden eagles have been killed after striking the thousands of wind turbines in the Bay Area, raising questions about California’s move toward alternative power.

The death count, averaging 67 a year for three decades, worries field biologists because the turbines, which have been providing thousands of homes with emissions-free electricity since the 1980s, lie within a region of rolling grasslands and riparian canyons containing one of the highest densities of nesting golden eagles in the United States.

“It would take 167 pairs of local nesting golden eagles to produce enough young to compensate for their mortality rate related to wind energy production,” said field biologist Doug Bell, manager of East Bay Regional Park District’s wildlife program. “We only have 60 pairs.”

Gov. Jerry Brown in April signed into law a mandate that a third of the electricity used in California come from renewable sources, including wind and solar, by 2020. The new law is the most aggressive of any state.
