Kant your profile says: <Sr. Project Manager (Oil and Gas), P.Eng. > A peng is a professional engineer in Canada. Having been a peng myself 30 years ago, it's surprising that you claim to be in the same professional club. Normally engineers have educated scientific tendencies rather than membership of fringe left wing illiterati cults. But it takes all sorts. Are you really a peng? That implies you can not only count, but that you can use 3rd order partial differential equations when challenged. So you should have been able to calculate the amount of CO2 subducted per second by the Gulf Stream. Are you stuck or what? If you refuse to challenge my falsifying of your CO2 theory, then the way science works is that your theory is bung. Simply denying it's bung, allocating an insult and claiming to be in a good climate cult is not good enough. Go on have a go and calculate the CO2 subduction, or ask one of your CO2 buddies to provide the information. It's understandable you and they don't want their theory falsified because then the cash flow will stop faster than the Gulf Stream [which is claimed to be likely to stop as a result of Global Warming]. The main issue with Global Warming is cash flow for the cult and no way can that cash flow be interrupted. But it looks as though some of them have actually committed crimes in their determined self-dealing nest-feathering attempts to hide the declines and keep the cash flowing from their garbage in = garbage out computer models.

Excellent - a great idea from Obama: <President Obama has ordered the government, the largest consumer of energy in the U.S., to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 28 percent by 2020.> The quickest way to achieve that admirable goal [though I'd aim to halve it by 2020 or even 2015] is to fire 50% of the employees and sell half the vehicles. Lower thermometers in winter by 10 degrees Celsius and increase them by 10 degrees Celsius in summer. Cut all foreign travel and other joyriding in jet airliners by 90%. He could go down in history as a great president if he achieves that. Mqurice

Pelosi's Children and Grandchildren Used Military Jets As Private Cross-Country Shuttle Service So They Could Avoid Dealing With the Rabble ( I guess Obama's new rules don't apply to democrats and their families) This post serves as an update to yesterday's original revelations that military jets appear to have been improperly utilized by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to shuttle her children and grandchildren around the country. Is it a legitimate use of military jets to transport the Speaker of the House and her favored Congressional coterie for routine travel? Even if you believe it is -- and, personally, I do not -- any rational taxpayer would admit that it is monumental waste of money. Military flights cost between $5,000 and $20,000 per hour to operate. The Speaker and her passengers routinely reimburse the Air Force $120 to $400 for each flight. Since Nancy Pelosi took over as Speaker in 2006, she's rung up millions in military travel expenses to commute between San Francisco and Washington. Worse still, she also appears to have requisitioned entire flights for the personal use of her children and grandchildren. That is, unaccompanied by any member of Congress, her kids, in-laws and grandchildren are utilizing entire military passenger jets for their routine travel needs. Using the documents obtained by Judicial Watch's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, I have discovered the following manifests and travel requests. 22-Feb-2007: A military jet is requisitioned for the sole travel needs of the Speaker's son, Paul Jr. 13-Apr-2007: A military jet is utilized for the unaccompanied travel of the Speaker's daughter, son-in-law and grandson. 15-Jun-2007: A military jet is requisitioned for the sole travel needs of the Speaker's son, Paul Jr. 09-Jul-2007: A military jet is requisitioned for the sole travel needs of the Speaker's son, Paul Jr. 13-Jan-2008: A military jet is requisitioned for the sole travel needs of Paul Pelosi, Jr., son of the Speaker. 29-Sep-2008: A military jet is requisitioned for the sole travel needs of Paul Pelosi, Jr., son of the Speaker. 30-Oct-2008: A military jet is requisitioned for the Speaker's daughter and a son-in-law, Peter Kaufman. 25-Nov-2008: A military jet is requisitioned for the Speaker's daughter, her son-in-law and two grandchildren. * * * This is not an exhaustive list by any stretch. On dozens of occasions, various of the Pelosi children and grandchildren appear to have traveled with or without the Speaker. Rep. Nancy Pelosi -- in my humble opinion -- has abused her office by ordering military jets for the travel convenience of her children. It would seem that the instances highlighted above constitute, at minimum, a complete disregard for the American taxpayer's funds. Pelosi must resign. Or she should be forcibly removed out of office. These activities, if not outright criminal, smell to high heaven. directorblue.blogspot.com h/t brumar
