>> And they say we need stimulus like WWII was. So, all that "stimulus" in the intervening decade was just ... wasted? OMG. I think Koan's coming around. Now if he can just figure out that WWII wasn't "stimulus", it was just eliminating the competition, he'll have it.

Harvard physicist, running for Congress, criticizes global warming ‘hysteria’ Dr. Mike Stopa is a Harvard physicist who says that there is a great deal of “hysteria” surrounding global warming. He’s also a conservative Republican running to take the seat Democratic Sen. Ed Markey has vacated in Massachusetts’ fifth congressional district. In a YouTube video produced by his campaign, Stopa highlights the economics, science, and politics surrounding global warming and ends by showing the vacant lots of two green companies that have since gone bankrupt after profiting off of renewable energy subsidies. [iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2eOb-nUkqm0?rel=0" frameborder="0"][/iframe] Stopa — who is director of the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network Computation Project and a nationally recognized expert on nanoscale electronics and computation — predicts a change in climate science in the near future. “Thomas Kuhn described changes in scientific paradigms that are sudden and surprising with the term ‘scientific revolutions,’” Stopa told The Daily Caller. “We may be witnessing such a scientific revolution in the theory of global warming right now. But alas, there are reactionary forces outside of the scientific community that are fighting vigorously to hold the line and keep up public concern if not outright panic.” Stopa is especially critical of international organizations that are calling for more regulations of greenhouse gases. “The IPCC (Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change), in releasing their Fifth Assessment Report, are struggling to maintain a sense of urgency about climate change that is belied by: a pause of fifteen years in global warming, a failure (until now) to correctly incorporate important natural climate driving effects such as solar forcing and ocean current, and a continued inability to fully incorporate the effects of cloud formation in their models,” Stopa told TheDC. Stopa isn’t alone in criticizing the IPCC’s science. A top MIT climate scientist called the latest IPCC report “hilarious.” Stopa, a lifelong fiscally conservative Republican, has authored seventy-five academic papers and received over a thousand citations of his work. http://dailycaller.com/2013/10/08/harvard-physicist-running-for-congress-criticizes-global-warming-hysteria/#ixzz2iohOgmLr

Progressives worked very hard to remove all values from education, and teach children that their parents are destroying the planet. Obama tells everyone that the US is evil and has to change. Then progressives are surprised that children become sociopaths. How many teachers have to be slain before Americans take action? \| Jake Miller \| Comment is free \| theguardian.com http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2013/10/26/you-did-build-that/ Teen stayed after final bell with Danvers High School teacher before killing her, buying Wendy's meal with her credit cardPhilip Chism, 14, stayed behind when his Algebra 1 class was dismissed for the day after his teacher, Colleen Ritzer, 24, asked him for time to prepare for a test on Tuesday. The teen was later caught on surveillance video donning white gloves and following the teacher to a second-floor bathroom, where he allegedly killed her. By Joe Kemp / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Friday, October 25, 2013, 8:31 AM ...... Sources told the news station that the calculated killer struck the beloved teacher twice before slashing her throat with a box cutter. The teen — covered in blood — stuffed Ritzer’s body into a recycling bin, which he wheeled from the bathroom and out of the school, the station reported. [ When will Americans get box cutter control? ] Chism covered Ritzer’s body with leaves before the teen grabbed a change of clothes from his black backpack, sources told the news station. ............ But Chism went to the Hollywood Hit movie theater a couple of miles away from the school and bought a ticket to the 4:30 p.m. showing of Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine.” He left the theater about 6:10 p.m., when the film was over, and smashed his and Ritzer’s cellphones in the parking lot, WHDH-TV reported. He then went to a nearby Wendy’s restaurant and used the slain teacher’s credit card to buy a meal. ............ Ritzer was remembered by loved ones as an enthusiastic teacher who cared about the education of her students. “She was just filled with joy,” said Charlotte Dzerkacz, who taught alongside Ritzer for about a year. “She always talked about how much she loved her family,” she said. “She’s just a wonderful, loving person...She really was the nicest person you could ever meet.” nydailynews.com
