The UN disappears 50 million climate refugees, then botches the cover-up
50 million climate refugees United Nations The UN disappears 50 million climate refugees, then botches the cover-up The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment:
"In 2005, the United Nations Environment Programme predicted that climate change would create 50 million climate refugees by 2010.
These people, it was said, would flee a range of disasters including sea level rise, increases in the numbers and severity of hurricanes, and disruption to food production.
The UNEP even provided a handy map.
The map shows us the places most at risk including the very sensitive low lying islands of the Pacific and Caribbean."
Why is our government enabling these liars and crooks?

Yale University Limits Access to Equipment After Student Death
Yale University Limits Access to Equipment After Student Death - ABC News "'This is a true tragedy,' Yale President Richard C. Levin said in a statement. 'Last night, Michele's hair got caught in a lathe as she worked on a project in the student machine shop in the Sterling Chemistry Laboratory. Her body was found by other students who had been working in the building. They called the police, who responded immediately.' Dufault of Scituate, Mass., was an astronomy and physics major who was expected to graduate with a bachelor's of science degree this spring. The state medical examiner's office said Dufault died from 'accidental asphyxia by neck compression.'" I don't know why this grabs me but what a terrible tragedy. I fear this wonderful young woman may have had a profound affect on our world. I am very sad.

Obama's Deceit
American Thinker Blog: Obama's Deceit "budget deficit under George Bush first peaked in 2004 at $412 billion dollars. Between 2005 and 2007 the budget deficit declined by $252 billion to reach its low, under Bush, at $160 billion. If the tax cuts and wars, both occurring in 2001 and 2003, caused our current financial situation, how did the deficit fall between 2004 to 2007? Because Tax Cuts increase revenue to the government by allowing people and business to invest more of their own money"

Interlocal Agreements - How Forced Unionization and the MEDC Came to Be in Michigan
Interlocal Agreements - How Forced Unionization and the MEDC Came to Be in Michigan [Michigan Capitol Confidential] "Some 40,000 private day care owners and providers in Michigan are transformed overnight into public employee union members. Ditto for another 60,000 private home care workers. And yet another organization gets to play in the sand on the taxpayers’ dime. All of these became possible because of an innocuous and arguably well-intended law that’s been on the books for more than 40 years." READ this report!
What a Joke
What a Joke "Suppose that in a mere three years your family’s spending – spending, mind you, not income – jumps from $80,000 to $101,600. You’re now understandably worried about the debt you’re piling up as a result of this 27 percent hike in spending. So mom and dad, with much drama and angst and finger-pointing about each other’s irresponsibility and insensitivity, stage marathon sessions of dinner-table talks to solve the problem. They finally agree to reduce the family’s annual spending from $101,600 to $100,584. For this 1 percent cut in their spending, mom and dad congratulate each other."

"have opined many times in this blog that wind turbines are not a bad technology.
It is in fact a good technology, I'm a (pun) fan of it, and I teach it in my classes.
However, it has its place and I have been critical of the government at all levels for creating an artificial demand for the technology built entirely on generous subsidies and mandates."
