Fischer: "If We Want to See Fewer Students Commit Suicide, We Want Fewer Homosexual Students"
Bryan Fischer explains how GLSEN and gay groups "share more of the blame for [gay] suicides than anyone":
Homosexual conduct is as risky and dangerous as injection drug abuse. No right-thinking adult would encourage a student tempted to shoot up to yield to such impulses and plunge headlong into a drug-addled lifestyle. In fact, we would be highly critical of any adult who would do that, and hold him partially accountable for the destruction that would follow.
Nor should we encourage students wrestling with same-sex attractions to take the plunge. Rather, they should be helped to resist these self-destructive impulses and redirect their sexual energies in healthy and life-giving directions. It can be done; in fact, it happens every day.
If we want to see fewer students commit suicide, we want fewer homosexual students. What all truly caring adults will want to do for a student struggling with his sexual identity is to help him resist dangerous sexual impulses, accept his biological identity as either male or female, and help him learn to adjust his psychological identity to his God-given biological one.
Along that path lies psychological, spiritual, mental and emotional wholeness. Along the path of sexual depravity lies loneliness, self-torment, disease, and even death. It is a cruel thing to help a sexually confused student walk down a path that leads to darkness rather than urge him to choose a path that leads to light.
The choice between life and death lies before America's students. Let's not punish the folks that will help them choose life.

How the ABC's AM hyped the Climate Commission's scare. Did Mark Scott listen?
Andrew Bolt
–, Tuesday, June, 18, 2013, (8:05am)
ABC managing director Mark Scott claims there's no bias on the ABC and pretends his former chairman never complained about ABC groupthink on global warming.
Yesterday he got yet another opportunity to reconsider his complacency.
ABC AM reported the latest hysterical global warming claims of the Climate Commission and - as usual - did so without any attempt at balance or fact-checking:
It quoted Climate Commissioner Will Steffen offering a rag-bag of weather events to suggest the planet was continuing to warm dangerously:
Heatwaves in Europe, heatwaves in Russia, heatwaves in the US during the last decade. Heavy rainfall, a warming climate, more evaporation from the ocean, more water vapour in the atmosphere and more rain. What did we see? Convincing evidence, not only globally, but now in Australia.
Heatwaves in Europe, heatwaves in Russia, heatwaves in the US during the last decade. Heavy rainfall, a warming climate, more evaporation from the ocean, more water vapour in the atmosphere and more rain. What did we see? Convincing evidence, not only globally, but now in Australia.
This alone should have made AM suspicious.
First, why did Steffen not mention other recent weather anecdotes suggesting cooling? Why did he - or the ABC - not add that England had just had its coldest spring in 50 years or in many areas the coldest in 122 years? Why not mention France had its coldest spring in 26 years and the US its coldest in 17 years?
Second, why did Steffen - or the ABC - not give listeners the most obvious measure of global warming - not anecdotes about some heatwave somewhere but the actual temperature of the planet?
Why did AM not mention this temperature record, showing no statistically significant warming for more than 15 years, or quote one of the world's leading climate scientists - like, for instance, Judith Curry?
You see, Professor Curry, chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, says the real question now is not whether global warming has paused for the past 15 years, but whether the next 10 years will see a global cooling as well.
Attention in the public debate seems to be moving away from the 15-17 yr 'pause' to the cooling since 2002 This period since 2002 is scientifically interesting, ... and provides a rationale for inferring a slight cooling trend over the next decade or so.

But instead of interviewing a top climate scientist or a sceptic for balance, AM interviews a retired navy officer whose credentials seem to be merely that he, too, happens to believe in the warming scare:
SARAH CLARKE: Admiral Chris Barrie is the former defence chief. He agrees there is an urgency…
CHRIS BARRIE: We only have this little period of 10 years in which to adjust human behaviour to give us a more acceptable outcome for the rest of the century.
SARAH CLARKE: Admiral Chris Barrie is the former defence chief. He agrees there is an urgency…
CHRIS BARRIE: We only have this little period of 10 years in which to adjust human behaviour to give us a more acceptable outcome for the rest of the century.
Also not mentioned by AM is that the climate commissioners are alarmists who have a terrible record of making dud predictions. In fact, this latest claim that global warming is bringing us lots more rain seems at odds with a previous warning issued by Tim Flannery himself, in 2007:
Even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems.
AM does not even challenge the crazy conclusion from another climate commissioner, Lesley Hughes, that to stop dangerous warming we must virtually close down our coal industry:
LESLEY HUGHES: ... We simply have to leave about 80 per cent of the world's fossil fuel reserves in the ground. We cannot afford to burn them and still have a stable and safe climate.
Cost of closing our coal exports? About $50 billion a year. Cost to Australians: lost jobs, lost royalties, lost taxes, lost investment, massive increases in power bills, energy-intensive businesses made broke, vast economic dislocation. More people will be poor, and few of them will be able to afford to heat their homes in winter or cool them in summer.
Is this sacrifice really worth the benefits - if any - of any warming averted? Consider: the difference Australia's planned cuts to emissions by 2020 will actually make to the world's temperature, even assuming the warmist models are correct, is just 0.0038 degrees by 2100.
What's more dangerous? Global warming or the catastrophic cost of attempts to "stop" it?
That's another basic question AM never even thinks to ask.
And Mark Scott claims to detect no bias. No groupthink.
Contrast the ABC's credulity to the doubt now expressed even by Leftist media outlets overseas:
Cold, cold, cold. Leo Hickman, The Guardian, Friday:
Cold, cold, cold. Leo Hickman, The Guardian, Friday:
WASHOUT summers. Flash floods. Freezing winters. Snow in May. Droughts. There is a growing sense that something is happening to our weather . . . To try to answer the question the Met Office is hosting an unprecedented meeting of climate scientists and meteorologists next week to debate the possible causes of the UK's "disappointing" weather over recent years . . . The "roundtable workshop" will attempt to outline the "dynamical drivers of the cold spring of 2013", but attendees are expected also to debate the "disappointing summers of the last seven years" . . . The meeting will also discuss the washout summer of 2012 and the freezing winter of 2010-11.
Not getting hot, hot, hot. Justin Gillis, The New York Times, June 10:
THE rise in the surface temperature of earth has been markedly slower over the last 15 years than in the 20 years before that. And that lull in warming has occurred even as greenhouse gases have accumulated in the atmosphere at a record pace. The slowdown is a bit of a mystery to climate scientists . . . given how much is riding on the scientific forecast, the practitioners of climate science would like to understand exactly what is going on. They admit that they do not, even though some potential mechanisms of the slowdown have been suggested. The situation highlights important gaps in our knowledge of the climate system, some of which cannot be closed until we get better measurements from high in space and from deep in the ocean.
Never mind the facts. ABC radio's AM yesterday:
TONY Eastley: What were once considered risks are now a reality, according to the Climate Commission's latest major update on how the planet is tracking. The report says the "scientific consensus" has become stronger, as greenhouse gas emissions reach record levels.
Sarah Clarke: Two years ago, the Climate Commission released its first major report called The Critical Decade. A quarter of the way through that 10 years, it says those forecasts are now a reality and the scientific consensus is stronger.
Will Steffen: Heatwaves in Europe, heatwaves in Russia, heatwaves in the US during the last decade. Heavy rainfall, a warming climate, more evaporation from the ocean, more water vapour in the atmosphere and more rain. What did we see? Convincing evidence, not only globally, but now in Australia.
Reader Bruce:
"Heatwaves in Russia". Dr Steffen is alluding to the big Moscow heatwave of 2010 and the accompanying Pakistan floods.
Prof Mike Lockwood, who is a well regarded IPCC contributing climate scientist (who is not a climate sceptic) pointed out that low solar activity was linked to the jet stream blocking which caused the very cold UK winter that year. Jet stream blocking also caused the Moscow heat wave a few months later in the same year.
We had a very similar period of low solar activity during the latest very cold northern winter, as measured by the Ap Progression index, which reached the same low level as in 2010. There was lots of jet stream blocking occurring, again causing cold air to persist over Europe. Dr Steffen is scientifically wrong, and proved so by Prof Lockwood. Digging coal is no threat to anyone, except the green ideologues who want to enslave us.

Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:44am)
Well, maybe the Admiral said something opposing the idea of sending the boats back - that would make him immediately acceptable to the ABC on any subject.
Can I also say that the Flannery's hypocrisy is in evidence all around the country. If he REALLY believed that climate change would mean increased rain, we'd have new dams all around the country to store water and to protect us from flooding - instead we have moth-balled desal plants, costing tax payers billions for water that is not needed.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (12:59pm)
I can recall Admiral Barrie making rather clear statements about the impossibility of towing the boats back, so he would definitely be on the 'go to' list.
What can you say about the ALP's ABC? They clearly need to push global warming in an election year to prop up the incompetent Gillard government. If there were no global warming, the loss of jobs and decrease in wealth for Australians would be for nothing. Just ask Arnie or "he'll be back".

And we might also think about the energy needed to operate the NBN - and the move to cloud computing and the need for enormous server farms. Relying on wind power for your internet service suggests that these policies haven't been thought through enough.
An economy based on renewable energy sources cannot at the same time rely on an NBN that requires 24/365 energy sources that only nuclear or coal can provide.

Tue 18 Jun 13 (10:49am)
I hear that the warmists now want 80% of coal left in the ground to prevent us boiling to death (as opposed to freezing to death in the winter because there is no electricity to heat our houses).
I suggest that we lock 80% of warmists in a cellar to save the planet.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:21am)
So low solar activity causes colder winter?
Who'd a thought?
Geez I wish I'd paid more attention in science class.
A change of governmenmt is looming, so what better time to attempt to justify your department's existence by trying to 'look busy'.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (10:09am)
It's fascinating how more and more bizarre and out of step the claims from climate change skeptics are becoming.
The claim that we are cooling because surface temperatures have been flat for a tiny period of time is all they have left.
Never mind the fact that while supposedly we've been cooling we've have record low Northern hemisphere snow fall, near record low Arctic sea ice extent, warming oceans, continued melting of glaciers and the warmest 12 month period ever recorded (May 2009 to June 2010) ... just ignore all that…

Ever recorded got proof of that or should we just take your word for it?
The question is if the world is pumping out way more CO2 then ever before why isn't the world warming up like you clowns say it will?
You don't have proof just theories and when they don't pan out you shift the goal posts.

That is just a bold faced lie mate, and not even an attempt to disguise such a lie!
Here is the actual data on December snowafall(ie WINTER, not spring, therefore totally SEASONAL for the North) showing record HIGH, not low snowfall…
Why don't you lying eco-totalitarian thugs just &*%$ off mate if you can't tell the truth and discuss what actually IS happening rather than what you would LIKE to be happening like bloody adults, instead of foot stamping tantrum throwing little kids.....
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:04am)
A presentation of evidence or references to reports contrary to your climate beliefs does not constitute "bizarre and out of step the claims (sic)". What you need to do is counter the factual data of others listed or referred to here with other factual data not, as you do here, a list of claims, be it in "of step" ones or not. You mention not one report or scientific paper. You rely soley on the moral certainty of your beliefs, and that moral certainty is only a result of a chemical reaction in your brain.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:11am)
'...the warmest 12 month period ever recorded (May 2009 to June 2010) ... just ignore all that…'
While you conveniently ignore the two periods in the last 2000 years when temperatures were higher than today.
Remember, global temperatures have risen by a bit over 0.7C° in the 150 years since the end of the Mini Ice Age.
What do you think global temperatures should have done following the Mini Ice Age?
Can you tell us how much of this ~0.7C° temperature increase is man-made?
Can you provide us with any hard proof that this very small increase in temperature is catastrophic?
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:20am)
"… just ignore all that…"
Never mind that this info is coming from the Climate Change scientists themselves, or are the likes of Curry, Lindzen, etc. simply not scientific enough for you.
I can see that the term 'climate change denier' is becoming more appropriate for those who refuse to believe the science which indicates the earth might actually be cooling. No doubt you will want to blame CO2 emissions, but that just highlights the uncertanty in this field, never mind putting paid to the belief that CO2 causes runaway warming.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:30am)
Hey genius of paranoia, know of a place called greenland ?
It's called that as opposed to today being covered in ice and snow it was once green enough for vikings to herd their flocks on - and that was caused by 'global warming' and later on the ice and snow was caused by 'climate change', right ?
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:32am)
It's fascinating how more and more bizarre and out of step are the claims from WARMISTS.
Warmists' claim that man-made carbon dioxide is causing catastrophic global warming is clearly demolished when ACTUAL temperatures are compared with the childlike climate model predictions.
IE. the scientific method in action - Actual history trumps non-meritorious theory every time.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:33am)
You must get all your news from their ABC.

On what planet was there record low snow fall in the noirthern hemisphere? Certainly not Earth! Exactly where are glaciers melting? That particular myth was put to bed years ago. And as for 2009-10 - take out ocean temperatures and compare apples with apples and see what you get. Your clinging to the tired old Climate Change religion is getting boring.

Hey Specky consider this.Our climate commissioner stipulates that enough rain will not fall to fill our dams because of global warming. Enough rain fell throughout the continent to fill many of our dams which are still near capacity. You then get another so called climate expert stating that the heavy rains are due to global warming.If were apolitical Speckles what would you think of this contradiction. Simple question requires a simple answer.I have many years of climate study so please don't embarrass yourself.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (12:08pm)
Wait, so your argument here is, skeptics are crazy because they point out that it hasn't warmed for 15 years. This is apparently, "all we have left". So, pointing out an undeniable fact, that counters moronic claims that human CO2 emissions are dangerously warming the planet, is "all we have left". Do you read your own comments?
Never mind the record colds in the northern hemisphere, the high level of see ice in the Antarctic, or the fact that the planet hasn't actually warmed. Never mind all that.
Goodness, you guys are in denial majorly. This really is getting fun!

Bloody Idiot, the 2013 Jun sea ice cover above the 15 year mean
Tue 18 Jun 13 (01:08pm)
David Watson:
Before you fly off half-cocked, you are looking at the snow cover, not how much land was covered.
"Annual snow cover extent (SCE) over Northern Hemisphere lands averaged 24.6 million square kilometers in 2012. This is 0.3 million sq. km less than the 43-year average and ranks 2012 as having the 12th least extensive cover on record..."
(Rutgers University)
This is where I and no doubt others are confused with this Climate Change talk. How can we have evaporation from the seas, but also have rising sea levels. It is either evaporating or rising, you can't have both. And how come we have had our wettest June in decades and it isn't even half way through the month. This just goes to show you that these people are trying to hold onto their jobs before the Green mantra is dismantled by the next Australian Government.

All this shows is you don't have a clue what you are talking about. Go have a conversation with robert you two are dead set morons.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:05am)
Yep, Andrew, you should accept the lectures from an unabashed union stooge.
Now there's the voice of authority.
Just look at what the unions have managed to wrangle in this country in the last few years. I can't see any reason not to take advice from a failed union apparatchik.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:07am)
'...you seem unable to distinguish between weather and climate.'
Funny, Mr Union Man, neither do, it seems, the high priests and priestesses of the Church of Climatology given that way they carry on about every extreme weather event—while never considering whether there have been similar or more severe events in the past.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:08am)
If you check Andrews posts he has repeatedly pointed out that weather is not climate. Perhaps you should direct your criticism at the climate commission staff who seem to be hyping recent weather events.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:10am)
You grow more pompous ... and wearisome ... in your petulant outbursts every day, Tones. Give it up; no-one's listening.

"Andrew no matter how many times you are told you seem unable to distinguish between weather and climate."
Do try to keep up Tony with the goal post moving from your "cargo cult of global warming-settled science":
A few years ago, talking about weather and climate change in the same breath was a cardinal sin for scientists.
Now it has become impossible to have a conversation about the weather without discussing wider climate trends, according to researchers who prepared the Australian Climate Commission's latest report.
Still in denial, TNofJWA?
"The IPCC report that linked extreme weather events to climate change in 2012 was a breakthrough as previously scientists were loathed to link the two," Professor Will Steffen, of the commission, told Guardian Australia.
Fixed it for you, Tony:

"unable to distinguish between weather and climate."
Alarmists use weather events to push their agenda. Science shows extreme events are not hitting record occurrances and in some cases are decreasing.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:26am)
So what are your qualifications in Climate science, Tony N?
<crickets chirping>
Anyone with half a brain knew Global Warming was a crock right from the start, when the 'Hockey Stick' graph airbrushed the Medieval Warm Period out of existence. No one who values their reputation as a 'scientist' (as distinct from a 'political activist') would have done that; yet to include that data on the graph would have undermined the whole 'cause'.
Science isn't about 'causes', Tone, it's about facts.
I think it's time you learnt to distinguish between 'reality' and 'fantasy'.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:28am)
no matter how many times you have been told..
1)there is no greenhouse effect.
2)c02 does not trap heat.
3)c02 is not pollution.
4) a cold atmosphere cannot pass heat to a warmer one...and the IPCC models are unvalidated garbage,proven wrong after 23 years
you are an intellectual effete where ignorance is your strength…
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:35am)
Educate me, are 'weather' and 'climate' TOTALLY separate/disassociated? Are you saying one does not affect or cause the other?
Do the two 'systems' just merrily waltz along doing their own thing?
Don't be so nit-picky, Use common sense, not feel-good illusions.

More than 15 years of no statistically signoificant warming IS Climate. If 1976-1990 was enough to prove Global warming was real, then 1998-2013 is enoughy to prove it isn't.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:59am)
So your an uneducated and unqualified expert Tony? The irony obviously goes over your heard. Your religion is threatened so you attack, *yawns* how common.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (12:10pm)
As usual a warmists reads what he wants to, then projects his own ideologies ridiculousness onto those that challenge it.
Andrew is more than capable of distinguishing weather from climate. It's warmists like you that keep claiming that the world is warming to hell every time there is a hot day! Andrew is merely pointing out the FACT that there are record colds and the FACT that temperature hasn't changed for 15 years.
Why do you insist on ignoring undeniable, proven facts that don't suit your agenda?
Tue 18 Jun 13 (12:25pm)
Exactly, why is an Admiral's opinion at all relevant?
Exactly, why is Steffen relying on weather events to justify climate change?
Tue 18 Jun 13 (12:26pm)
And yet, no correction when when the same situation is used by Flannery and others. Also, Andrew has quoted scientists in the field with links to their articles.
The whole point of this article was the fact that the ABC, your ABC is doing the same thing by having a retired admiral being presented as an expert in the field. At no point does Andrew claim to be educated in climate sciences, hence the links to articles. Does the admiral do the same? Do you?
Here is my problem. I am undecided on man made climate change. I have read many articles both for and against. I know maths and statistics reasonably well, well enough to know when I am being mislead. I know physics well enough to know that without feedback mechanisms, the man made climate change theory falls over. These feedback mechanisms have never been proven.
I also tend to use past performance as a measure of future ability. The climate models do not work. How would we measure the success of, say, space missions or the large hadron collider if their predictions were as woeful?
Tue 18 Jun 13 (12:28pm)
Tony no matter how many times you are told you seem unable to distinguish between fiction and reality. The data does not support AGW nor the IPCC climate change modelling. That's the science, that's the facts!
Tue 18 Jun 13 (12:35pm)
Tony you are bit harsh on Steefen. But he does deserve it, passing off climate voodoo as science.
Tell us Tony, is the distinction between weather and climate like the that between global warming and climate change? So when the scientific evidence does not support your ideology, you change the terminology?
Just another ABC 'go to man' apparently expert on everything including international law, piracy, immigration policy and now climate change - from Their ABC :-
Boarding and turning around asylum seeker boats could be 'piracy', says former Defence Force chief
Updated Thu Apr 11, 2013 2:06pm AEST
Former chief of the Defence Force, Chris Barrie, says the Federal Opposition's plan to turn around asylum seeker boats in international waters could commit the Navy to an act of piracy, if the vessel is seaworthy and the country of origin cannot be contacted. Admiral Barrie says proposed legislation to excise the Australian mainland from the Migration Zone flies in the face of the UN Refugee Convention. He says the Navy doesn't have the ships to tow back all Sri Lankan asylum seeker boats to Sri Lanka.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (10:16am)
The warmists are the new Puritans, initiating a moral panic they then use to manipulate and control others and make themselves feel superior. We need a Roundhead put in charge of the ABC.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (10:17am)
Admiral Chris Barrie was on ABC Breakfast yesterday saying the same thing. Trioli also took the oportunity to ask him if he thought the opposition asylum seeker policy of turning abck the boats was workable. Clearly Barrie is an expert on everything. I noticed she did not ask Barrie if he was a member of any political party. Perhaps she knew the answer and was happy with his leftist bias.

With the current overcrowding in illegal arrival detention centres and the associated cost blowout, perhaps Virginia and Chris, concerned as they are, might consider putting up a few of these folk in their spare bedrooms, and covering their medical and dental expenses of course?
(Cut to the year 2037, the world has successfully moved to sustainable energy and the hope is we've stabilised our climate system for future generations)
(The scene; Andrew Bolt's blog)
"And what about the rains in our dams that 30 years ago Flannery said wouldn't happen unless we took action and, well, I know we did take action, but, well this is all I've got so I'm still saying it..."

The scene…
AS's cave…
People (all 3 of them who are left) running around to keep warm because they can't burn "evil" wood, and eating the ten berries a day each is entitled to because that of course is all that "sustainable" for the planet until the Aliens come back to get them before they are "extincted".....
You NON FACTUAL Eco Fascist Zealots make me puke mate.... Fortunately, I reckon the rest of the World is finally waking up to you charlatans too…
Your "free ride" might get a little bumpier from here AS, so better strap yourself in with those heavy vines before moving those Freddy Flintstone wheels mate…

Will there be flying cars like in the Jetsons in the year 2037?
Surely the chicken entrails tell you something about that?
There just has to be flying cars.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:43am)
Cut to the year 2025, the world hasn't evaporated due to Crippling Global Warming, and hasn't been torn apart from Killer Hurricanes, and nor have Fluffy Bunnies everywhere been drowned by Catastrophic Sea Level Rises; sustainable energy research is still looking for something cost-effective to replace fossil fuels, while CO2 emmissions continue to rise....)
The scene: a padded cell.
ASpectrum sits in the corner; drool falling from one side of his mouth, muttering the same thing over and over again:
"But Tim Flannery promised! The world really was going to end.... Mass extinctions of fluffy bunnies everywhere .... the second coming of Bob Brown .... government grants for everyone .... Who really needs reliable energy sources anyway .... The HotSpot! Oh the Hotspot!"
Tue 18 Jun 13 (11:45am)
Who is against sustainable energy? Hydro-electric dams are a good start. How about more diversification? eg nuclear + coal + hydro.
Sustaining a growing population is completely separate issue to the religious like idiocy of catastrophic anthropogenic globull warming that you subscribe to.
Unfortunately solar panels are only useful to power pocket calculators and wind farms are the equivalent of squeezing 2000 oranges to get 1/2 a cup of orange juice...not to mention a blight on our landscape, a scourge for property values and the people living near them. The expense of Solar/Wind is economically unsustainable and they must be dropped, this has been shown time and time again. Unless solar can produce 5x the power they generate now, they are not much more than expensive pipe dream.
We live in reality, you leftoids live in a parallel universe.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (12:20pm)
Oh man, this is just too much. I find it amazing that someone actually still believes this utter nonsense.
So, the climate that hasn't ever been stable in billions of years, all of a sudden becomes 'stable' after 20 years of 'renewable energy' (read: middle age technology or light and wind). Never mind the economy being utterly devastated by useless power sources, let's assume that by some miracle 'renewable' energy can actually provide baseload power (only hydro can and you genius Greens oppose that hahaha). The idea that we can somehow stablise the entire climate after a few years of not pumping 0.03% of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere is so ridiculous it's just impossible to take you fools seriously anymore.
Keep up the good work!
We SIMPLY have to leave 80% of the worlds fuel reserves in the ground. Wow Leslie what a great idea. And you being a statistical expert would have come to this conclusion after years of research into exactly how much fossil fuel there is in the ground world wide. I bet you could get a job with any mining company in the world with that impressive knowledge. Or like the rest of your puffed up self appointed experts did you just pull that figure out your arse in the vain hope no one would challenge it? Anyway It was morons like you who were running around in the 70's telling us the world would run out of fossil fuel by 2000. What a bonus that would have been. Problem solved. I have no doubt though you and your ilk will find another imminent disaster as this global warming BS to keep your jet setting life style in place.

Steve Price interviewed Mitch Hooke, CEO Minerals Council of Australia, last night about the Climate Commission report. Mitch has a science background and some real stats on fossil fuel reserves. Sobering stuff!
Funny that their ABC never intervews anyone with real knowledge about any given subject.
It seems to me that the entire focus of this global warming/climate change scam is encapsulated thus "...in which to adjust human behavior"
It's all about control people...just saying
Tue 18 Jun 13 (10:23am)
Will Steffen's "scientific consensus" is garbage. For starters the Russians have never bought this global warming crap.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (10:27am)
"If there's no action before 2012, that's too late. What we do in the next two to three years will determine our future. This is the defining moment." Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the IPCC, Nov. 2007.
If we are to believe the IPCC it is already too late!
Tue 18 Jun 13 (10:35am)
Our ABC and the Climate Commission seem to have fallen under the spell of Julia Gillard's screeching megaphone politicking.
Gillard's false and unsupported claims of sexism and misogyny are a perfect model for the Climate Commission's unsubstantiated screeching about anthropogenic climate change, with the leftist ABC eager to support anything that suits their groupthink mentality.
Freedom of speech is one thing, but for an alleged scientific body, and allegedly responsible public broadcaster to behave like Chicken Little just to justify their existence is outrageous, and something that Abbott needs to rectify in office.
Tue 18 Jun 13 (10:37am)
If any government is foolish enough to still listen to this latest nonsense, then the additional damage to the economy (beyond the tens of billions these characters have already cost us) should be compensated by promptly eliminating their salaries, along with the universities who have supported this self serving propaganda at the expense of the Australian public.

Samuel Peter-Maurice Harris Possible in IBF Eliminator
By Ruslan Chikov
After Tomasz Adamek signed a contract to face IBO/IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, he was dropped from a possible IBF eliminator with Samuel Peter (34-4, 27KOs). A possible name to replace Adamek, against Peter, is Maurice Harris (24-14, 10KOs). Harris is an upset minded fighter who faces everyone. Since his return to the sport last year after a three year layoff, Harris beat Billy Zumbrun, Robert Hawkins, Julius Long and Nagy Aguilera.
The head of the IBF's championship committee, Lindsey Tucker, told Alexander Pavlov that an offer has been sent to Harris. Tucker doesn't know if Harris plans to accept the fight. If Harris does accept, the winner of his bout with Peter will have to face the winner of the other IBF eliminator between Eddy Chambers and Derric Rossy on February 12.
The IBF recycles the most old contenders like Peter. Each of the alphabet bandits has a problem with how there organzations are runned. The IBF's problem is how they rate the boxers.Comment by FloydTBE on 02-02-2011

Ukraine crisis drives the financial markets today
Gold and energy commodities are up today. So are safe haven currencies such as the yen.
The Russian ruble is down. So is the euro and emerging market currencies and markets are taking a licking.
Pretty much what you'd expect when the crisis in the Ukraine has escalated to include a threat of armed conflict between Russian and Ukrainian soldiers
The biggest move has been in the share prices of energy companies that might benefit if natural gas prices soar due to a cut-off in gas exports from Russia across the Ukraine and into Western Europe.
For example, shares of Norwegian oil and gas producer Statoil (STO) are up 2.35% today as of 2 p.m. New York time.
Shares of energy companies without any near-term way to take advantage of any stoppage were off with Chesapeake Energy (CHK) down 1.2% and France's Total (TOT) off 2.31%.
The oil benchmark price of the West Texas Intermediate climbed 1.77%. The Brent benchmark rose 1.6%.
Most of the moves I'm seeing today aren't specific to the crisis but are instead the standard response of traders to heightened risk. For example, the safe haven yen rose to 101.4 to the U.S. dollar. The euro is off 0.43% against the dollar. Gold is up 2.15%. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) is down 1.89%.
The ruble is the big crisis specific loser, down 1.4% today against a basket of currencies—despite an increase in benchmark interest rates from the Russian central bank. That continues the Russian currency's slide in 2014. The ruble is now down more than 10% for 2014
The slow response of U.S. and EuroZone diplomats to the crisis with lots of talking and not much action (not necessarily a bad thing if the alternative is shoot first and talk later) suggests that this crisis will drag on for a while. An "emergency" meeting of EuroZone leaders isn't scheduled to take place until Thursday, March 6.

Flannel Friday
Brandi Klassen of Marshfield holds her son Blake, 1, as he greets "Doc" between wagon rides in downtown Montpelier during Flannel Friday festivities in the Capital City.
The day after Thanksgiving is the traditional start to the holiday shopping season and a day many spend at the mall or big-box stores. In an effort to persuade shoppers to spend their money closer to home, merchants in downtown Montpelier have developed a local alternative to Black Friday and dubbed it Flannel Friday. Shoppers wearing the classic Vermont attire were treated to sale prices and specials at many stores. Above, Brandi Klassen, of Marshfield, holds her son Blake, 1, as he greets Doc between free wagon rides. Left, employees and customers, many clad in flannel, watch as Myra O'Neill, of Somerville, Mass., spins the Wheel of Deals at Onion River Sports. Below, Skip, the Vermont Mountaineers' mascot, sports his flannel shirt while crossing the street Friday in Montpelier. Barre merchants get into the act today with a downtown open house and a full day of festivities and shopping.MORE IN Central VermontWe want folks to take advantage of it. Full StoryPlainfield man

We are a family of four with one more due around Christmas. I have not been able to work during this pregnancy at all do to the extreme "morning sickness".
My husband is self-employed and does not bring home alot of money. We literally live from paycheck to paycheck.
So when this letter came in the mail my husband thought that it could possibly be a gift from God.
The letter stated that they needed a ONE TIME payment of $5 for processing. At that time, I became suspicious, but my husband really wanted to believe that our prayers had been answered. I told him that I would send it in, but it would be a money order, not a personal check. We agreed and sent them the money.
Then, three weeks later, we recieved another letter in the mail wanted to confirm my husband's name. That was okay, but as you kept on reading, they wanted another $5 for processing. I laid the letter to the side because I didn't trust them to send them another processing fee.
The next day another letter came from the same company wanting my husband to send them $19 for a Free Sweepstakes Winner Report Award. (My first question was if it was free, why did I have to send money?) You could decline the "subscription" but then you release claim to something that they don't really reveal on the reverse side. I put this letter with the other one.
A couple days later, I actually recieved the Free Sweepstakes Winner Report Award in the mail. It was a "catalog" of sweepstakes that you could register on. Most of them were okay. But I was still cautious.
Then it hit me to check the internet! We've had our computer for less than a year so I am still not use to it yet.
But it is a life saver in this case.
I checked out this company's name and found this site!
Don't be fooled by this company. All of their paperwork looks GREAT. But all they seemed to want was ONE TIME PROCESSING FEES for EVERY time they had you send something back in.
I am going to check out everything that asks for money from now on.

Overall fit and finish is fairly good. These steps are nice and large and are fairly easy to install. Two gripes: 1. There is some piece of debris inside one of the bars. The bars are sealed, and there is no way to get it out. I cannot hear it moving around in there while driving, but makes me wonder about the overall quality of workmanship. 2. I found the adjustment slots on the brackets not quite adjustable enough. Bar sit SLIGHTLY unlevel, but nobody would really notice it.

Hey, St. Jude
Sometimes all you get back from a night of sushi and cocktail mass consumption is a hefty bill, but tonight you can actually chow for charity. RA Sushi locations nationwide are hosting their fifth annual Nickys Week fundraiser in honor of a founders nephew who died at age 13 of brain cancer, and all you have to do to contribute is down edamame, RAs signature Tootsy Maki, and shrimp shumai.

All proceeds from the sale of those items will be donated to St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital to fund treatment and cures for various life-threatening illnesses.
The companys goal is to reach $510,000 this year, so arrive hungry from now until May 30 at these local RA Sushi locations: 11701 Lake Victoria Gardens Ave. in Palm Beach Gardens (561-340-2112), and 201 SW 145th Terr. in Pembroke Pines (954-342-5454). Call or visit rasushi.com for more information.

Oh, so far as the police thing goes, DD knows adults go to jail if they're bad and that the police take them there. She's aware there is jail for kids too. Those are truths, IMO. She knows that if you're good and need help the police will help you too. I never tell her the police will take her away if she's bad at home but that if she does the same thing as a grown up she might get in trouble.
Have some fucking compassion for the fact that I am facing my biggest fear.
Please help me raise money for my surgery-
I wouldn't lie for any reason in the OP, but I would to spare them adult details of just about anything, or just to abbreviate a complicated or complex situation. They're little kids, they dont' need to know everything.
Tres harsh Maman.
OK, so I haven't read the replies yet, but I am totally reminded of a "great" parenting lie... "When the ice cream truck plays music it means they are all out of ice cream."
This too shall pass ♥
No, then the won't trust you.
I plan to take a matter-of-fact tone, like "No, I'll only be buying you one toy".
I figure, I'm the grown-up, I make the rules & the kid will take that as the natural order of things. I don't think I'd lie about a pet's death either. I don't want the kid growing up delusional.
One thing I definitely don't do is lie to avoid saying "No".
Tres harsh Maman.
*Would you tell your children a lie to try to avoid a tantrum, e.g. tell them that the store will not allow them to buy more than one toy?
No, because they don't get to pick out the toy.
*Would you lie to them to scare them into good behavior, e.g. tell them they will be in trouble with the police if they don't obey?
Is this like telling kids that they'll go to hell or god is watching? Religion does a great job of this already.
*Would you lie to them in an attempt to spare them some kind of pain, e.g. when a pet dies?
I am a nurse and a agree do not lie to your kids about medical procedures. But then again I frequently use the line "quit screwing around or you might fall and get hurt and then you have to go to the doctor and he will have to give you a big shot and sew your head up with a big needle" Hey it's not a lie and it will get him to quit jumping on the couch
I do use the little white lies all the time. Because he dosen't care that chocolate milk for every meal of the day isn't good for him, but if mommy says we don't have any, he's prefectly happy to drink it plain.
Don't ever ever ever lie to your kid when their pet dies. My dad lied to me twice when my cats got run over by cars, and I'm still pissed off at him about it. I know why he did it--I was HYSTERICAL when my rabbit died--but still. All those months waiting, hoping that George would come back....grrrrr.
I can't really think of a time when I've lied to my kids, except for Santa and the Easter Bunny. I did rush out to PetsMart early in the morning to replace a dead fiddler crab once. But that's about it. Questions about sex and such I answered honestly (even the ones that led to interesting conversations about how the baby's going to get out past my underwear) and if I don't know the answer that's what Google is for. "I have no idea how the flowers eat sunlight. Let's look it up."
Cover reveal for Star Pack!
Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy. I lie about the these.
Otherwise I don't lie, but I conveniantly omit. In other words I try to never tell my kids that we are going to particular events because I do want to avoid the metldown if the event is cancelled. The opposite is true as well. I will not tell my kids about doctor's apt's or dentist appt's until the day of the appt becuase I don't need my kids suffering from anxiety prior to the undesirable event.
I would not lie about past drug use, our mistakes can be great lessons.
I would not lie about sex. I have however told my son that I will explain certain things to him when he gets older.
If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it!

Best Chronograph Watches
The World's Most Popular Chronograph Watches
Not every man can pull off a chronograph. Heck, it's the kind of watch that makes you look serious about watches, unless of course the pushers and subdials don't work at all and are just for silly show. Any serious chronograph has a complex automatic movement (complication), and they were originally designed to function as a stopwatch with a sweep second hand powered by additional gears within that movement. Sure, you can go out there and find a cheap number that looks the part, but there are also affordable versions that are the real deal, as well as those that cost tens of thousands.
Whatever the size of your bank account, there's a chronograph out there for you, just begging you to play with its pushers. Tempted yet? Here are some of the best this year that will stand the test of time, as well as tell it with remarkable precision.
Tissot T-Trend Couturier Chronograph
Finding a high quality Swiss made automatic chronograph for under a thousand is a treasure, indeed, and Tissot's T-Trend Couturier is that rare find. Slick silver and white sword hands punctuate a black dial with crisp silver markers, and that unique porthole display back that gives you a peek at the movement is priceless. You even get a deployment clasp and 100 meter water resistance for a price that won't feel like a gut punch to your bank account.
$925.00 at Amazon.com
Tudor Heritage Chronograph
Tudor's recent return to our shores is good news, indeed, especially when it's in the form of unique timepieces like the stunning Heritage Chronograph. Inspired by vintage racing, the Heritage is rife with eye catching hues of orange, silver and blue for a chronograph that's not shy but never overstated. It's even dive worthy with a 500 meter depth rating, but you'd be best served taking it to the racetrack to run the stopwatch on this fully functioning and very sporty, fully automatic timepiece.
$4,425.00 at Amazon.com
Hamilton Jazzmaster Chronograph
Inspired by jazz greats, Hamilton's Jazzmaster line is a more cultured taste of typically sporty timepieces by the once American watchmaker. Thankfully the Swiss continue to do the Jazzmasters justice, and their chronograph is a fine example with its vertically placed white ring subdials, classy black dial and a nuanced bracelet with both brushed and polished stainless steel links. The fully automatic movement is spectacular for the asking price, as is the working chronograph pushers and dials. Too bad it won't make you play like Miles Davis.
$1,495.00 at Amazon.com
Longines Master Chronograph
The ultra-sophisticated Master Chronograph is a watch that's not subject to trends or whims. It's a timeless timepiece that will look as good in half a century as it does today, and it has the build quality to that long, too. The 40mm case is quite literally the perfect size for anyone short of Dwayne Johnson, and the French blue hands are the kind of coloring contrast that will never look dated. It's just the kind of chronograph coolness that never needs to brag, exuding style that other watches at this price point can't even touch.
$2,775.00 at Amazon.com
Panerai Radiomir Chronograph
Panerai's Radiomir line is easily its classiest. The popular Italian Navy dive watch brand is prominent and solid, and the cushion case is an icon of style. The Radiomir Chrono gets a black dial with simple 6 and 12 o'clock numerals, two functioning subdials and a working tachymeter — not that you'll calculate speed or distance with it since you'll be too busy showing it off whenever you get a chance.
$9,019.00 at Amazon.com
IWC Portugieser Automatic Chronograph
An IWC Portugieser is a watch to be coveted. The rich dial is peppered with small, simple numerals and markers for a truly classic design that will stay in style for generations to come, and the 40.9mm stainless steel case is the perfect size for dress shirts, suits, and more gussied up fare. The fully functional subdials clock 60 seconds and 30 minutes, respectively, and the croc embossed leather strap with deployment buckle lend to an even more sophisticated timepiece.
$7,900.00 at Amazon.com
Chopard Mille Miglia Grand Turismo XL
Another chronograph so named for its connection to a famous race, the Mille Miglia by Chopard's moniker is from the Italian endurance race meaning "1,000 miles." And if there was any mistake about the watch's automotive theme, the speedometer-like analog dial and subdials, along with the excellent tire tread rubber strap and case back with the race route should put things to rest. The 44mm diameter gives it sufficient heft on the wrist, and the sapphire glass face protects it all from scratches. Now, just go find that classic Alfa Romeo Giulia you've wanted to buy for so long.

The Battle of Monocacy, which took place on the blisteringly hot day of July 9, 1864, is one of the Civil War's most significant yet little-known battles. What played out that day in the corn and wheat fields four miles south of Frederick, Maryland., was a full-field engagement between some 12,000 battle-hardened Confederate troops led by the controversial Jubal Anderson Early, and some 5,800 Union troops, many of them untested in battle, under the mercurial Lew Wallace, the future author of "Ben-Hur." When the fighting ended, some 1,300 Union troops were dead, wounded or missing or had been taken prisoner, and Early---who suffered some 800 casualties---had routed Wallace in the northernmost Confederate victory of the war. Two days later, on another brutally hot afternoon, Monday, July 11, 1864, the foul-mouthed, hard-drinking Early sat astride his horse outside the gates of Fort Stevens in the upper northwestern fringe of Washington, D.C. He was about to make one of the war's most fateful, portentous decisions: whether or not to order his men to invade the nation's capital. Early had been on the march since June 13, when Robert E. Lee ordered him to take an entire corps of men from their Richmond-area encampment and wreak havoc on Yankee troops in the Shenandoah Valley, then to move north and invade Maryland. If Early found the conditions right, Lee said, he was to take the war for the first time into President Lincoln's front yard. Also on Lee's agenda: forcing the Yankees to release a good number of troops from the stranglehold that Gen. U.S. Grant had built around Richmond. Once manned by tens of thousands of experienced troops, Washington's ring of forts and fortifications that day were in the hands of a ragtag collection of walking wounded Union soldiers, the Veteran Reserve Corps, along with what were known as hundred days' men---raw recruits who had joined the Union Army to serve as temporary, rear-echelon troops. It was with great shock, then, that the city received news of the impending rebel attack. With near panic filling the streets, Union leaders scrambled to coordinate a force of volunteers. But Early did not pull the trigger. Because his men were exhausted from the fight at Monocacy and the ensuing march, Early paused before attacking the feebly manned Fort Stevens, giving Grant just enough time to bring thousands of veteran troops up from Richmond. The men arrived at the eleventh hour, just as Early was contemplating whether or not to move into Washington. No invasion was launched, but Early did engage Union forces outside Fort Stevens. During the fighting, President Lincoln paid a visit to the fort, becoming the only sitting president in American history to come under fire in a military engagement. Historian Marc Leepson shows that had Early arrived in Washington one day earlier, the ensuing havoc easily could have brought about a different conclusion to the war. Leepson uses a vast amount of primary material, including memoirs, official records, newspaper accounts, diary entries and eyewitness reports in a reader-friendly and engaging description of the events surrounding what became known as "the Battle That Saved Washington." "Praise for Flag: An American Biography" "There is no story about the flag that he omits . [We] now have a comprehensive guide to its unfolding."---"The Wall Street Journal" "The fascination of history is in its details, and the author of "Flag: An American Biography" knows how to find them and turn them into compelling reading. This book brings out the irony, humor, myth, and behind-the-scenes happenings that make our flag's 228-year history so fascinating."---"The Saturday Evening Post" ""Flag "is a valuable addition to American history, and Leepson...certainly is due a portion of authorly glory for this absorbing account of America's national icon."---"Richmond Times-Dispatch" "Timely and insightful."---"The Dallas Morning News" "To understand th

Ozark Trail 9 Person 2 Room Instant Cabin Tent with Screen Room
The Ozark Trail nine-person instant cabin tent is a spacious cabin style tent with a 7 foot ceiling and can be set up in under two minute. No assembly required (except tent fly and pegs) and you're set up for days at a time. Screen room acts as a double barrier for bugs. Can fit two queen air beds. I had been searching for a larger tent than the one I already had. I researched this tent for quite awhile before I made a purchase. The tent went on a rollback for $174 so I hesitated and didn't buy… Full review
Paha Que' The ScreenRoom
I agree with Nathan. Pole broke first time out, called number on warranty card and was pretty much told I was stupid. Worst c/s ever. I asked about replacing parts. Was told they don't do that, call someone else. $500 tent and this is how you're treated!! I would not recommend this company. I am sooo sorry I bought their product. Full review

Poles sucks. Their customer service is terrible. Like the tent though. Never buy a Paha Que product again due to their terrible customer service. Full review
Kelty Kashmir 2
Great 3-season tent. Setup is easy. It's stable due to 4-pole design. Ventilation is good/ceiling mesh is great for stargazing. Very roomy: 2+ full size adults. (1) door and (1) rear window are equal size. Both have the mesh/privacy zipper closure option. Full review

Plenty of space and darn good weather protection. We own 36 acres in northern New Mexico. When we go to the "Ranch", we stay in our Weathermaster 10. It takes below 0°C well and can handle the strong winds falling off the mountain peaks nearby. Rain was shed as expected and the frost never penetrated the interior. It's a big tent for just 2 people but we organize the second room into the armory and clothing area. My daughter has 3 kids and loves to camp. She'll be seeing a Weathermaster 10 under… Full review
Coleman Dakota
Large enough for a family of four and dog. We bought this solely for car camping. Very roomy and with two interior zippered divider, privacy in three sections. Easy enough to set up single-handed within 15 minutes or less. Color coded poles help. Not great are the fiberglass poles when they age and fray. Few things more frustrating than trying to find and extract fiberglass splinters. If I could redesign the X, I would use carbon fiber poles. Full review
Coleman Insta-Clip 6 Sided Screen House
This item is sturdy, reliable and large. We use it all the time! We use this for van camping. It is great to sleep under or put over a table. Holds up in a storm well. Full review
Eureka! Lodge
I love this tent, easy to set up and good in the rain. Lots of ventilation, good for a propane heater. I have had this tent for over 10 years, and used it on many camping adventures with no complaints. I only wish I could have gotten it for the price they have it listed at now. If memory serves me, I believe over $400 was paid back in the day. Still worth every penny and times we've had...priceless. Full review

A pledge reported Thursday, March 29, 2012 by the manufacturer of Apple's iPhones and iPads to limit work hours at its factories in China could force other global corporations to hike pay for Chinese workers who produce the world's consumer electronics, toys and other goods. Foxconn Technology's promise comes as Beijing is pushing foreign companies to share more of their revenues with Chinese employees. (AP Photo/Kin Cheung, File)

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett reiterated his support for tax incentives for natural gas firms and consistent permitting procedures. He emphasized the importance of supporting Royal Dutch Shell's proposed facility in the state. "That project, if built, will mean an investment here of $4 million to $6 million in one of our most depressed areas that was once the site of the steel industry that is now gone," Corbett said.

Morgantown, W.Va. (AP) -- A key player in the 2007 master's degree scandal involving Gov. Joe Manchin's daughter is leaving West Virginia University.
Former Business School Dean R. Stephen Sears, who stepped down from that post last year, has accepted a job at Texas A&M International University in Laredo.
The Texas school's web site says he will be Dean of the A.R. Sanchez School of Business and teach finance.
A spokeswoman says that Sears starts work Aug. 17.
Former WVU President Mike Garrison resigned and former Provost Gerald Lang gave up his administrative post after investigators found that Mylan Inc. Executive Heather Bresch was wrongly awarded a retroactive degree.
The panel said Sears and others showed "seriously flawed judgment" in altering Bresch's transcript.

I called the police and file a report and called Pinnacle to give them a piece of my mind about their sales tactics. The sales department defended the way they approach sales calls & go door to door. I reported them to my homeowners association & informed all parties that I would call the police if I saw him in the neighborhood again.
No one should ever approach sales with scare tactics when making sales calls. This company was completely out of line!
