‘Snowmageddon’ brings chaos to Washington DC worst blizzard in 90 years

Nearly 2ft of snow fell on Washington today with President Barack Obama dubbing the whiteout ‘Snowmageddon’.
And as the blizzard hit the US capital forecasters warned tonight that some of it could be heading to the UK this week.
At least two people were killed and more than 200,000 homes were without power due to ‘thigh-high’ drifts thought to be the heaviest snowfall in the city for 90 years. SOURCE

This is globle warming huh? Where is Al Gore when Washington DC needs him. Is G.W. Bush the blame for Snowmageddon? If the democrats and Obama has their way Bush will be blamed!

A growing number of Britons are sceptical about global warmingThe rapid change in public opinion has been fuelled by the failure of the Copenhagen Climate Summit in December, the bitterly cold winter and the row over leaked emails from the University of East Anglia, which showed scientists attempting to hide data from sceptics.
At the same time, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has come under fire after it admitted making mistakes in several of its published reports.
Two weeks ago, the IPCC was forced to apologise for another report that claimed Himalayan glaciers could disappear as soon as 2035.
It later emerged that most of the figures came from two 1999 magazine interviews, which had been recycled by the environmental campaign group WWF. The charity was found to have made basic errors in its arithmetic.
Just last week, it emerged that another claim – that 40 per cent of the Amazon was extremely vulnerable to a tiny decline in rain – was lifted from a second unsubstantiated report published by the WWF.

More about the emails…..

Scientists discussing how to manipulate historical temperature data
The stolen emails, which emerged on the eve of the UN climate change summit in Copenhagen, appear to show scientists discussing how to manipulate historical temperature data.

In one, head of the Climate Research Centre, Professor Phil Jones, talked of using a ‘trick’ to hide inconvenient data.
They were seized upon by climate sceptics as proof that experts are manipulating data to prove the theory that humans are to blame for rising temperatures. SOURCE

Brazil is about to get $10 billion from U.S. taxpayers for drilling its offshore rich oil fields

Why must we go so far and spend so much taxpayer money to drill oil when we could unleash our private sector to do it here for free ?

Eximbank officials are serving America’s interests by developing Brazil. But our Congress, which refuses to encourage offshore drilling, and our Interior Department, which is pulling permits for inland development, are not.

At the center of it is energy security. If lending money to Brazil for oil is a good idea, isn’t freeing our own companies to develop America’s vast reserves an even better one? Read More

And now remember this from back in June of 2008?

More Drilling Extends National Addiction to Oil; Will Not Save Americans Money at the PumpWASHINGTON (June 26, 2008) — Senate Republican leadership today introduced a bill that would expand off-shore oil drilling and open areas that are now off-limits in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming to oil development. The bill, the Gas Price Reduction Act of 2008, stands in stark contrast with forward-looking legislation the House is considering, which would protect consumers from rising gas prices and expands transportation choices. Opening up America’s coastlines and valuable wilderness areas to oil and gas drilling is a shortsighted response that would not reduce prices at the pump and take the country in the wrong direction, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS).

“We need to break our addition to oil — an addiction that only benefits the pusher — the oil companies. This latest move by some in Congress is just another sign of the overwhelming greed of the oil companies. Not only are they making record profits, they are getting more than $30 billion in tax breaks. Now they want the federal government to give them our treasured public lands and beaches, even though they aren’t drilling on all the leases they currently own. How much more do the oil companies expect American taxpayers to bankroll their profits?

“Our oil addiction hurts our economy, our environment, and our national security. Instead of focusing on the backward policies featured in today’s Senate bill, it is time to move forward with American ingenuity and technology to cut our dependence on oil, save money at the gas pump, and curb global warming.” Read More

I don’t see how 10 billion to help Brazil drill for its offshore oil will help curb global warming so how about explaining why its ok to spend taxpayer money for Brazil to drill offshore but not for America? Can you answer that question Democrats?

Americans say they are not willing to pay more in taxes and utility costs to stop global warming

Fifty-six percent (56%) of Americans say they are not willing to pay more in taxes and utility costs to generate cleaner energy and fight global warming.
Sixty-three percent (63%) rate creating jobs as more important than taking steps to stop global warming. Read More

But the question is: Does Obama care what we the people think? Answer: He could care less about we the American people! We need to remember this 2010 and 2012 elections, and say so long democrats and Obama!
