On closer examination, Doug Vogt’s claim about a problem with the curvature of the birth certificate are nonsense.

I superimposed a line representing the curvature of the edge of the document at the bottom of “Kapiolani” and it lines up perfectly.

Vogt appears to be suffering from confirmation bias in his analysis. There is nothing wrong with at least that part of the document.

Imagine devoting your life to something which has nothing to do with reality.

That is, his imaginary warming.

As long as they spew global warming tripe, any geography student can be a climate expert.

LOS ANGELES, June 1 (UPI) — Global warming will greatly change arctic transportation networks, limiting access in certain areas and vastly increasing it in others, U.S. researchers say.

“Popular perception holds that climate warming will mean an opening up of the Arctic, but our study shows that this is only partly so,” Laurence C. Smith, a UCLA professor of geography, said. “Rising maritime access for ships will be severely countered by falling vehicular access on land.”

Researchers say improved access by sea will benefit coastal communities, coastal resource-extraction operations, tourism, fishing and shipping concerns, while the loss of land access routes could hamper inland mining and timber operations, inland oil and gas drilling, as well as smaller inland communities often inhabited by indigenous peoples, a UCLA release reported Wednesday.

“As sea ice continues to melt, accessibility by sea will increase, but the viability of an important network of roads that depend on freezing temperatures is threatened by a warming climate,” said lead study author Scott Stephenson, a UCLA graduate student in geography

Warning – nonsense below

When the pdf was released, it was immediately obvious that it was digitally altered. While it seemed beyond incredible that this document suddenly appeared many years too late, I was willing to accept the theory that the digital alterations were due to OCR and other scanner software optimizations.

However, a “scanner expert” has looked closer at the document and seen other issues which are more difficult to explain by automated image processing. For example, the word Kapiolani appears to have been placed without curvature on top of a scanned, curved document.

This is the first of three articles on the criminal complaint that scanner-expert Doug Vogt filed last week with the FBI.

An international expert on scanners and document-imaging software filed a 22-page criminal complaint with the FBI, charging that the long-form birth certificate released by the White House is criminally fraudulent.

“What the Obama administration released is a PDF image that they are trying to pass off as a Certificate of Live Birth Long Form printed on green security paper by the Hawaiian Health Department,” Doug Vogt writes, “but this form is a created forgery.”

Vogt’s verdict

Vogt concludes that the Obama birth certificate document released by the White House on April 27 is an “outrageous and obvious” fraud.

“You could truly call this a Frankenstein Certificate of Live Birth,” he says in summary.

As we approach the NH summer solstice, I am trying to determine which ice cap is contributing the most to sea level rise. Is it the one at -97F or the one at -7F?

Picture California a few decades from now, a place so hot and arid the state’s trademark orange and lemon trees have been replaced with olive trees that can handle the new climate. Alternating floods and droughts have made it impossible for the reservoirs to capture enough drinking water. The picturesque Highway 1, sections of which are already periodically being washed out by storm surges and mudslides, will have to be rerouted inland, possibly through a mountain. These aren’t scenes from another deadly-weather thriller like The Day After Tomorrow. They’re all changes that California officials believe they need to brace for within the next decade or two.

Summer temperatures in California are much cooler than they were 120 years ago, and last August was the coldest on record in Los Angeles.

As usual, Newsweek has no idea what they are talking about and have done no fact checking.

They successfully picked a loser to head the GOP and 2008, and are frightened that Palin is making them lose control of the process. The left wing hate machine has cranked up in overdrive.
