President Obama Keeps Repeating Climate Falsehoods
[From Mein Kampf]: “But the most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in this world, persistence is the first and most important requirement for success.”

Amid the rhetoric of President Obama’s speech to the United Nations September 22 conference on climate change in New York he repeated the same few points. They’re identical to those in Al Gore’s movie “An Inconvenient Truth.” Trouble is they are wrong. So, what is the President’s culpability? If he doesn’t know they’re wrong he and his advisors are incompetent. If they know, they’re deceiving.

In The Caine Mutiny, Van Johnson’s character, faced with disaster due to the obviously false predictions made by the ship’s captain (Bogart’s character), tells the crew to ignore the orders of the man with rank but no performance credentials, and saves the ship.

Perhaps we should do the same.

Hot air on warming - By Boston Herald Editorial Staff
Congress will shackle the economy if it succeeds in acting against the dubious threat of disastrous global warming on the increasingly shaky theory that unchecked emissions of carbon dioxide must be curbed. The effects of Boxer-Kerry, if passed, cannot be far different from Waxman-Markey: A reduction in average global temperature in 2050 of 0.09 degree Fahrenheit at an annual cost that could reach $1,791 per household.

Some senators say the Senate will be too busy to act this year. And that is the best thing we can hope for.
