Reflections From a Murky Pond

It seems many of the Liberals are outraged that President Obama included Professor Jonathon I. Katz in his “dream team” of scientists, mostly leading physicists and engineers, who’ve been charged with going  to the Gulf of Mexico to work with BP to stop the oil leak that’s contaminating the Gulf waters.

What is most telling is not that the Left is outraged but what specifically they’re outraged over in this matter.

What should be able to be considered strangely, the issue isn’t with Prof. Katz’s admitted lack of usefulness in dealing with the spill or its cleanup.

I was honored to be invited and enjoyed the experience. Did I have anything much to contribute? I think I have some ideas for how to prevent this kind of thing from happening in the future, but I don’t have anything very specific to offer on the present problems. It is very much in the hands of the real pros.

Of course, as the above image displays, Al Gore hopefully wouldn’t be the first choice by the Warmists for a PETA style AGW poster or billboard.

Gary Varvel’s cartoon from the December11, 2009 issue of the Indianapolis Star provides what the Hierophant of Global Warming has failed to give his cultists, the Warmist – a prayer.

Al Gore’s Cultists,The Warmists, Now Have A Prayer To Chant

This was really the only thing that the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) were still lacking. Al Gore’s apocalyptic cultists already have the blind faith, strict dogma, and holier-than-thou attitudes. All they were lacking was prayer.

Hellfire! They had even learned from the Catholics of bygone days and were setup to sell Indulgences in the form of Carbon Credits….
