As I was driving to have lunch with my bff A on Thursday, I heard Rush Limbaugh talking about this....and all I have to say is AMEN! Thank you Rush for continuing to bring the truth to the people!

Weather Channel Founder: Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

Intro by Joe D’Aleo, Icecap, CCM
I was privileged to work with John Coleman, the founder of The Weather Channel in the year before it became a reality and then for the first of the 6 years I was fortunate to be the Director of Meteorology. No one worked harder than John to make The Weather Channel a reality and to make sure the staffing, the information and technology was the very best possible at that time. John currently works with KUSI in San Diego. He posts regularly. I am very pleased to present his latest insightful post.

By John Coleman

It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.
Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild “scientific” scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmentally conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minute documentary segment.
I do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions of either party. However, Global Warming, i.e. Climate Change, is not about environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you “believe in.” It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of life-long expertise. And I am telling you Global Warming is a non-event, a manufactured crisis and a total scam. I say this knowing you probably won’t believe a me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be it.
I have read dozens of scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct. There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismissal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.
In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious. As the temperature rises, polar ice cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm pattern all fail to occur as predicted everyone will come to realize we have been duped. The sky is not falling. And, natural cycles and drifts in climate are as much if not more responsible for any climate changes underway. I strongly believe that the next twenty years are equally as likely to see a cooling trend as they are to see a warming trend. See John’s full blog story here..

Packaging

Brandon and I went to Costco last week and I bought a postage scale for $19.99. I have never seen one under $35, so I was totally excited! But, wait...I still have not been able to get this darn packaging open! Can someone please tell me how to cut this thing open without killing myself in the process....this is when I need my husband home! He is so good at these things.

I almost forgot!

I already ordered my Christmas cards! Yippeee!! This is the picture that will be on the front of a beautiful card! I didn't want something that was a real setpicture, I love our smiles and how candid this picture is.... Thanks Laura for the help with the Christmas cards!!!

And he left me again...so lets shop!

It is back to being the wife that has had no husband! Kinda sad. This is supposed to be the best time of our lives, the first few months as a married couple, but I am trying to look at the bright side that Brandon is needed and wanted and has a constant work flow which means a constant paycheck. And as Aunt Debbie has taught me, as long as I have checks...I can go shopping! No, really...I think I have been doing the least amount of shopping ever in my life. I am spending gift cards to complete our gift registry, but I am not just shopping because I am bored! I really am trying to stick to our budget!!!

But, I have figured that if I buy Christmas gifts now, it will not hurt my pocket book as much in December, so I am already crossing names off the list! I am so proud of myself...I think this is the earliest I have ever started.

So Ralf and I continue to hang out with my mom since my dad is back in Florida working, so maybe it is time for a shopping spree!!

I Love Big Purses

So I was reading my best girlfriends blog about her big purse and how important it is in her life and I totally have to agree. It saved her sister-in-law at church on Sunday. Everything she needed to fight off a hedache was in the bag!

Today I had a meeting at the bank and I needed to take a file, my organizer and a pad of paper. While I was at the bank I had to do some personal and business banking so I figured I might as well get it all together. Oh and I had a ton of mail to drop off at the post office, but guess what....with all of that stuff it fit in my totally over sized, gigantic black handbag. I didn't have to tote around a briefcase and a purse...this is cost savings, right?? Just one bag to buy!

So if anyone ever makes fun of you for carrying a big purse, make a point of telling them it is your briefcase as well!
