I believe the cult doctrine is that indeed, it is not happening. And, furthermore, if it is happening, it doesn’t matter because:
1. God promised he wouldn’t destroy the world again in a flood.
2. Al Gore.
3. ACORN.
4. Obama wants to ban fishing.
5. Democrats are evil Communists who want to take away your guns and bibles and force you into gay marriages and then abort the children.
6. Death panels.
Therefore, you must buy gold and survival seeds.

Semi-ot: World Net Daily- What was the most covered-up story of 2010?
1. Elections official Tim Adams claims there is no Hawaiian birth certificate for Barack Obama.
2. Army officer court-martialed, jailed, after questioning Obama’s eligibility.
3. The reality of the U.S. economy is being assessed as a major issue by those who know, but has been getting little to no media attention. Very real questions about impossible deficits and skyrocketing taxes haven’t earned much network time.
4. America’s move toward socialism continued, even though it never in 2010 got attention like Obama’s remark to “Joe the Plumber” about just wanting to “spread the wealth.”
5. The fall of the “mainstream” news media – as ratings drop, advertising plunges and the public distrust grows
6. Allegations of fraud, including illegal voting by felons and a formalized refusal by some states to follow election law regarding ballots for the military, raise the dark possibility of the manipulation of elections.
7. Mysterious missile spotted off the coast of California.
8. The rising tide of evidence that the rising tide from global warming is a man-made hoax.
9. The push in the U.S. courts by homosexual advocates to demand the legalization of same-sex “marriage” as well as through Congress to formally adopt the policy of allowing open homosexual behavior in the U.S. military.
10. The impact of the TSA’s new full-body scanners, including the associated health risks, invasion of privacy issues and violations of the 4th Amendment protections against unreasonable searches.

New Year’s Day brought the warmest January 1 on record to Toronto. Mild temperatures also dominated northern Ontario, Ottawa and Montreal.
…
January 1 temperature records were broken as southern Ontario climbed above around 10°C. New records included: Toronto (12°C), Hamilton (11.1°C), Windsor (11.3°C), Goderich (12.1°C) and Collingwood (11.5°C).

It would really help if the US got into cutting carbon emissions but that’s not going to happen. China and India certainly aren’t going to cut their emissions. Eventually Africa is going to want to industrialize and they aren’t going to watch their carbon output nor are any of the other upcoming areas of the world. World populations are going to continue to grow and need more cheap power.
I’m pretty fatalistic about the whole thing.

I’d ignore them too, except that they’re constantly trying idiotic stunts to get my attention, like registering sock puppets, pretending to be supporters, then posting a nasty page in the middle of the night. Or staging a ridiculous multi-comment flounce full of homophobic slurs, which has happened more than once. “Look at me, Daddy! I hate you!”
They also monitor every word I post, and when I link to a blog that allows comments they’ll be sure to show up there spewing their weird obsessive hatred.
The last time I visited the site (several months ago), every other post and comment was directed to me as if I were reading it. “So Chuckie, now you think you’re smart or something?”
At that point I made a rule not to go there any more, and I’ve kept that rule. I’d really like to ignore them totally, but they’re determined to do shit that makes me respond.

But they always seem shocked that Charles is able to reply effective and paddle them like the vicious children they are.

And when the GOP hopefuls declare their intention to run, write to them as well. If you’re a member of one of the organized parties, write to all of the leadership to let them know how you feel on the topic. Make your voice heard.

I had my own hell a few years ago, the constant swing shifts that turned into grave shifts because the relief staff didn’t show up, necessitating that I work two shifts straight, from 2pm to 6am, with zero notice under threat of firing. basically because about half my coworkers sucked on ice. Which then of course ruined my sleep schedule for the next two days and gave me insomnia.
Which is why I quit my day job! I felt like I was literally losing money by staying there. I have a lot of work I have to get done each day, but I don’t get hosed. i’d rather work more and have more control.
it wasn’t luck though, it was just persistence. if you do something for over 20 years, you tend to get good at it, and you start to be able to charge people for it. And eventually, you make a job out of it. Hard work pays off and stuff.

It’s really a great skill, and shooting targets is fun. Pistols are very different than rifles. Many shooting ranges have licensed instructors available for lessons. I think you’d surprise yourself, with how much fun, hitting a target can be. And, they rent guns, too.

I was just jokin dude….. one of my cats has a bad pancreas…… and I love that cat. It struggles when it poops.

re: #135 Obdicut
Indeed. And the guy who was the drinkin’ expert was a Georgian who had just come back from there with a big bag of grits, and gave us some of the grits. As in, the raw stuff. He got really mad when I said that they’re very similar to polenta (which they totally are) but he calmed down after I talked more about scotch with him.
Fun stuff.
OK, this is how Russo-centric my world is—I was wondering why a Georgian would have grits.

re: #131 Killgore Trout
I keep promising myself I’m going to buy and gun and learn how to shoot. I keep procrastinating because I really don’t like guns. I don’t like killing things either but I really should hunt at least once just to say I’ve done it.
My little cousin keeps asking me to teach him how to hunt. I keep asking him some big questions:
1. Do you know the first rule of gun safety?
2. How are you in dealing with field dressing an animal as in getting hands deep in guts and cutting out the throat and anus?
3. Can you keep quiet and relatively still for more than 3 hours?
4. Can you shoot and kill an animal?
If you can’t honestly answer those questions just don’t bother hunting with a rifle and just take a camera for a pleasant nature hike. Hunting is not for everyone and I don’t think lesser of anyone who’s not into it. Why make a half hearted attempt at something you don’t really enjoy?

I don’t think it’s quite practical to go for complete self sufficiency. I suppose I could almost make it with my own veg but meat might be impractical. I don’t think hunting would be a very reliable source of food. I did research my local trout stocked lakes and I think I’m going to make an effort to start fishing again. There are a couple lakes 20-30 minutes away from me. They’re kinda urban so they aren’t very pretty but it should be a quick and reliable food source.

1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.
3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.

I don’t pull punches when it comes to hunting especially with 14 year-old cousins who think it of taking it up on a whim. Dad had my brothers and I learn from a young age and we started by learning and doing all the grunt work like cleaning rifles and hauling gear to deserve a place at deer camp. We got our one freebie field dressing and all the rest deer we killed we ours to field dress. I even field dressed my brother’s first deer to make up for my freebie.

The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change
IPCC is not alone in its conclusions. In recent years, all major scientific bodies in the United States whose members’ expertise bears directly on the matter have issued similar statements. For example, the National Academy of Sciences report, Climate Change Science: An Analysis of Some Key Questions, begins: “Greenhouse gases are accumulating in Earth’s atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures to rise”.
…
This analysis shows that scientists publishing in the peer-reviewed literature agree with IPCC, the National Academy of Sciences, and the public statements of their professional societies. Politicians, economists, journalists, and others may have the impression of confusion, disagreement, or discord among climate scientists, but that impression is incorrect.

It’s really hilarious that your’re linking to a youtube video that has this comment on it:
This video is showing sea-ice extent, not sea-ice mass. If you show sea ice mass, you see a distinct decline over the last thirty years. You’ve ignored the actual claims made by climatologists, and chosen a set of data that misses the point.
