Real Climate Science

As early as 1864 George Perkins Marsh, sometimes said to be the father of American ecology, warned that the earth was “fast becoming an unfit home for its ‘noblest inhabitant,” and that unless men changed their ways it would be reduced “to such a condition of impoverished productiveness, of shattered surface, of climatic excess, as to threaten the depravation, barbarism, and perhaps even extinction of the species”

Rumor is that Falcao and Mouhrino are headed to Stamford Bridge.

They were hoping to have five bullets per citizen, but budget cuts have reduced the number to one.

Sequester, tight budgets means DHS buying less ammunition

Tight budgets are forcing the Homeland Security Department to buy less ammunition, two top officials are slated to tell Congress on Thursday as the House oversight committee continues investigating the Obama administration’s ammunition purchases.

Despite the potential for cuts, the department still reported stockpiling more than 260 million rounds of ammunition as of November 2012 — a two-year supply, according to information provided to the committee ahead of a hearing on Thursday.

Obama, Feinstein Call to Regulate Pressure Cookers

Feinstein: Ban High-Capacity Ones

Washington, DC– In the wake of the Boston terrorist attack, California Senator Diane Feinstein plans to introduce the American Safe Cookware Act to the Senate. The bill calls for registration of all pressure cookers, a ban on high-capacity ones, and a limit of one per household. Transfers between households would be barred.

Mikey Bloomberg called a press conference to immediately support the bill, and announced formation of a new PAC named Rich, Spoiled Power-Obsessed Mayors Against Pressure Cookers. Bloomberg in a press release said “… why the hell can’t people just have their cooks and kitchen help use commercially-prepared foods– it’s better for jobs anyway.”

Nancy Pelosi beamed, in full California-plastic- surgery style, and added her support of the measure, especially the ban on high-capacity cookers. Pelosi said, “Nobody needs to can more than four jars of veggies at a time anyway.” Several California mayors plan pressure-cooker buybacks, supported by grants from Bloomberg’s PAC.

In addition, anyone purchasing a cell phone will be required to submit to a background check, and the self-contained phone book will be limited to 10 names except in the People’s Republic of Nueva York, where the limit will be 7 names.

A “carbon tax with 100 percent dividend” is required for reversing the growth of atmospheric CO2. The tax, applied to oil, gas and coal at the mine or port of entry, is the fairest and most effective way to reduce emissions and transition to the post fossil fuel era. It would assure that unconventional fossil fuels, such as tar shale and tar sands, stay in the ground, unless an economic method of capturing the CO2 is developed.

The entire tax should be returned to the public, equal shares on a per capita basis (half shares for children up to a maximum of two child-shares per family), deposited monthly in bank accounts. No bureaucracy is needed.
