TWAWKI

Formula for profitability;

1.Look at the natural cycles

“the rise in cyclone frequency since 1995 was part of a natural cycle and that several similar previous increases have been recorded, each followed by a decline”.

2. Scare the sh*t out of people so you can charge higher premiums.

More storms predicted, insurers in disarray – yep, hurricane season must not be far off

3. Sit back and watch the money roll in.

Lloyd’s of London insurers have mostly reported higher profits for 2009, helped by a lack of major hurricanes

“It is not the function of Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error.”   -  Robert H. Jackson (1892-1954), U.S. Judge

K Rudd’s Labor government is on the internet censorship watch list along with other dictators like Iran and North Korea. More here. Reporters without borders has put the K Rudd government in its Internet Enemies report with their behavior ‘under surveillance’. They say “Under the guise of fighting child pornography, the government wants to set up a filtering system never before seen in a democracy“, this is despite child pornography already being by the Broadcasting Services Act of 2000. Labor’s Stephen Conroy was last year named Internet Villian of the Year at the annual internet industry awards. In recent days it seems there are many more in the political left like green’s senator Milne who like the ABC and BBC do not hold freedom of speech in high regard except if it’s their own. Internet censorship laws in Australia have failed to protect children and continue to censor adults. More here. Left leaning censors may keep in mind they too will fail, not just in policy but also office.

Showing the political left is a repressive regime opposing the freedoms of speech so valued in the rest of the world a new bipartisan Global Internet Freedom Caucus to promote online free expression was launched on Tuesday.They will try and introducing legislation aimed at providing groups and individuals with the tools to bypass efforts by some countries to block or censor the Internet. Meanwhile political opposition to net censorship grows with new political parties being formed who are attracting a large vote and starting to make their presence felt at the polls. However the Labor party is dismissive of any political impacts, dismissive of freedoms and rights of its people and as a dictatorship blindly barges on regardless!

The ongoing litany of lies from the green bureaucracy that is continually decimating billions of our tax dollars to create even more useless green bureaucracy to control how we live our lives. These eco elites who have swindled hundreds of billions of our money claim somehow that those skeptical of their baseless alarmism are funded by big oil yet;

From WUWT – Quote;  “the reality is that skeptic scientists maintain their intellectual freedom at significant risk. Funding routinely dries up; tenure is denied them; ad hominem attacks of the most vicious variety are launched against them from the Ivory Tower of academia, from the studios of multi-billion dollar news organizations, and from the bully pulpit of government“.

Also in Climategate we saw  skeptical scientists have been excluded from publishing and have had their reputations trashed, just like the eco elite still try and do to anyone who wants to question their phony fabrications about the climate. It’s all about the money and if you wonder why now and in the future that you are a lot poorer simply look to the green movement!

The great green fraud,

But even if you exclude the skeptics who are fighting from the truth – what are the big energy and oil companies really doing?

From RealClearPolitics; the Left “and environmentalists love to whine about special breaks for corporations, and they work themselves into paroxysms of paranoia about how big corporations propagandize against action on climate change. The reality is exactly the opposite: GE, DuPont, British Petroleum and countless other big corporations routinely propagandize in the other direction, largely to win governmental support they don’t need“.

Seems like the only thing sure about the Greens and the Left is they are lying swindlers who will say anything to play the victim and get your money whilst at the same time increasing the amount of laws that you have to abide by.

Requiem for green dreams, WWF/UN IPCC caught out fabricating more lies! The daily gut

The socialist state continues – now they are rushing through laws to compulsorily acquire you land for redevelopment. This is on top of being able to acquire it for roads, railways and open space. They can also restrict its value through heritage, fabled sea level rises, environmental rezoning and soon environmental building compliance. None of these carry any compensation though the state does derive benefit from both heritage and environmental rezoning (as the Peter Spencer case illustrates). How much longer before they have absolute rights?

Your home is no longer your castle.

Green socialism – the false alarmism and lies continue – Quote from the Green Left; “The rapid melting of the Arctic sea-ice is one of the most alarming examples of the looming climate change catastrophe”. What is the reality in the arctic?   NSIDC current graphs show it is increasing as it has been every year for a number of years. So much for the green left and truth!

And dont forget the climate is the whoe reason why socialism must now save the world “The climate crisis requires a total restructure of our economy and society along sustainable lines.”

No wonder we have left leaning governments progressively taking our rights away!

Antarctic is cooling and growing as well, Chinese land rights, Climate change; global socialism global governance

UPDATE; 3 OUT OF THE 4 TEMPERATURE DATA SETS NOW IRREVOCABLY TAINTED

Email messages obtained by the Competitive Enterprise Institute via a Freedom of Information Act request reveal that the climate dataset of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) was considered — by the top climate scientists within NASA itself — to be inferior to the data maintained by the University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit (CRU).

When the data at UEA has been shown to be pretty appalling it doesnt say much for NASA!

It seems the Jonathon Holmes and Bernie Hobbs at the ABC and Christine Milne of the Tasmanian Greens have no qualms about vilifying those who have a different point of view despite they themselves all having their wages paid for by the Australian public. It would seem according to these ABC staffers and greens politician that the basic right of freedom of speech is theirs alone and should be denied to those who disagree with them. This comes as the ABC is taken to task for its continual biased reporting on climate change and its censoring or skeptical views on the climate.

In the true spirit of vilification the ABC and the Greens unashamedly use their powerful public voices to deny not only the freedom to speech to Climate Skeptics but at the same time to push their own political agendas. Its not only pure politics by the ABC and Greens but also pure corruption, highly discriminatory and the abuse of their powers. It seems their strategy of refusing debate, refusing transparency and attacking alternate views is the only way they want to push through AGW (anthropogenic global warming) – which they passionately call the greatest moral issue of our age. Funny if the issue is so important then it must be debated and that openly and thoroughly.

It is worth while remembering the following;

In 1948 the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Article 19 affirms the right to free speech:

Article 19. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.⁽¹⁾

Members of the Commonwealth Parliament reaffirmed the principles of the Declaration during a sitting on 10 December 1998 to mark the 50th anniversary of the UDHR and pledged to give wholehearted support to the principles enshrined in the Declaration.⁽²⁾

Article 19 of the 1966 United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) states that:

Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression … ⁽³⁾

Australia is a signatory to this treaty⁽⁴⁾ and, in order to incorporate treaties and conventions into Australian law, governments must pass a specific Act of Parliament. Although some parts of the treaty have been implemented into law, such as the Human Rights Commission Act 1981,⁽⁵⁾

Also;

Since 1992 decisions of the High Court have indicated that there are implied rights to free speech and communication on matters concerning politics and government, e.g. permitting political advertising during election campaigns.⁽⁷⁾ This is known as the ‘implied freedom of political communication’. Issues arising from these decisions include defining when communication is ‘political’ and when the freedom should prevail over competing public interests.⁽⁸⁾

The Press Council has also been confronted on the issue only to reveal it seems to condone this practice of censoring skeptics because they perceive climate skepticism as outside the ’scientific consensus’. See here and here.

In related news we also see that the green NGO bureaucracy continues to proliferate with the help of handouts from socialist left leaning governments we find more and more extreme groups who see capitalism as the enemy of all they stand for. As part of their hatred for our culture they see themselves as ‘culture jammers’ willing to do anything to bring down our way of living and lifestyle.

“We will wreck this world,” Kalle Lasn declares in his book Culture Jam: How to Reverse America’s Suicidal Consumer Binge — and Why We Must.    

Yet many of these lunatic fringe organisations like adbusters employ the very means they say they fight against. Just like the ABC and the Greens – they want the voice and the freedom to speak their own agenda but in a travesty of civil rights they wont allow climate skeptics that same freedom. As Activist Cash highlights adbusters are simply eco elitists mimicking those they so blatantly hate using the same advertising they continually try and destroy! And Adbuster’s policies are to remove us of all those things that improved our quality of life – like transport, fresh and heated water, meat etc all of which as green elitists they see as enemies of their utopian environment.

Oh and adbusters works in with and/or gets funded from a number of well known organisations such as greenpeace, tides foundation, the sierra club etc.

More on Ms Milne – Ms Milne also continues to lobby Ms Wong on the ETS pushing to bring in this appalling draconian, achieve nothing tax that will kneecap most Australians. Yet Ms Milne wants to devastate the economy even more and has introduced a private members bill to push for not a 5% but a 20% target on reducing emissions in order to make the un-viable disastrous wind farms economical. Ms Milne seems to be blinded by her own political ideology much to the detriment and wellbeing of the average Australian.

After stuffing up the multi billion dollar insulation scheme through appalling administration and planning (as well as ignoring professional advice) the government will now use your taxes to rip out what they used your taxes to put in. At the same time they have indicated they will go after anyone they can blame for this mess except themselves!

Even if you believed that Co2 causes warming then most of it is not likely caused by man. See here at World Climate Report and Master Resource. Then when you realise the warming stopped 12 – 15 years ago and the warming coincided with a warming PDO (pacific decadel oscillation), and the current cooling coincides with a cooling PDO wouldnt it be at least a little bit rational for all the scare mongering with climate alarmism to stop and for us to step back and say why are we wasting trillions of dollars of building a new socialist green bureaucracy!

It seems the conflicts of interest within the climate industry or prolific as NGOs that seek to profit from government climate policy are typically writing policy for the governments. It would seem that wind industry lobbyists and political organizations have significant behind-the-scenes influence on scientific reports from the Obama administration revealing that the Government and these organisations are anything but transparent and independent.

We have see that WWF is also feeding itself off the government pie, which has an annual budget of $500 million and pays its directors significabt salaries, helped write policy for the Australian Government. WWF also has a previous staff member who now heads up REDD forests.

Now we have the wind lobby/Soros group helped write PR for the US Government.

The EU’s 10 green friends in funding loop. The International Policy Network (IPN) have produced a report entitled: ‘Friends of the EU – The Costs of a Taxpayer-Funded Green Lobby,’ which reveals how ‘green’ pressure groups are funded by the EU in order to lobby the EU.

Green pressure groups get sixty MILLION euro from the EU! Gee it’s very green being green!

And then there is a whole litany of these toxic sponges over at Activist Cash.

Quote; “ActivistCash.com, a project of the Center for Consumer Freedom, provides the public and media with in-depth profiles of anti-consumer activist groups, along with information about the sources of their exorbitant funding.

Despite their innocent-sounding names, many of these organizations are financial Goliaths that use junk science, intimidation tactics, and even threats of violence to push their radical agendas. We’ve analyzed over 500,000 pages of IRS records to bring you a comprehensive snapshot of where their money comes from, tracking more than $800 million to date. We also offer valuable information about hundreds of deep-pocketed foundations, activist celebrities, and other key players in the movement to control what you eat and drink”.
