Reflections From a Murky Pond

Can you say green jobs? It’s easy; just say, “gōngzuò de” which is Chinese for “green jobs.” and it looks like China will be where those “green jobs” that Obama promised will be.

It seems that back in September 2011, the Obama-appointed heads of General Motors signed an agreement with the Chinese government to effectively move all future electric vehicle (EV) development to China. Primary production of such vehicles will also likely move to China.

America’s Liar-in-Chief, Obama strikes again.

But then almost all of these “green jobs” that Obama has touted and attacked traditional American jobs and practices over have gone to foreigners so GM’s moving their electric powertrain development to China shouldn’t come as a surprise despite Obama giving them a massive handout from the taxpayers’ coffers.

Climate changes; we can all accept that fact. It runs in an unknown number of nested cycles varying in length from a few years to many millennia and is impacted by an equally unknown number of inputs of unknown strength and synergy.

Cryptoclimatology – The “Search” For AGW

Some who claim the title of scientist want to simplify that system though for their own agendas and, as Climategate 1.0 and Climategate 2.0 showed the world, what they’ve done bears more resemblance to cryptozoology than hard science.

What they’ve done is to create Cryptoclimatology, the search for a way to coerce people into believing anthropogenic climatic changes that the existence thereof has not been proven are both real and dire.

Well, that’s not something you see every day, or even every holiday season – the rare Christmas Frog.

Rana Tannenbaumensis – The Christmas Frog

The Christmas Frog (Rana tannenbaumensis) is rare these days due to religious and ideological destruction but can still be found in North America and Western Europe and was once part of Christmas celebrations.

O Christmas Frog, O Christmas Frog,
Your bellies glow delight us!
They’re warm when summer days are bright,
They’re warm when winter snow is white.
O Christmas Frog, O Christmas Frog,
Your bellies glow delight us!

OK, OK – It’s a tree frog that has swallowed a Christmas light, mistaking it for a firefly.

Of course, if this pic goes viral, how long do you think it’ll be before PETA winds themselves up and starts protesting outdoor Christmas lights because of the potential for frog’s swallowing them? They’ll probably start a “Swamp Puppies” pseudo-education campaign reminiscent of their Sea Kittens propaganda.

So to preemptively strike and forestall any attempt by PETA to move in that direction, I present you with a sampling of the Swap Puppy:

NOTE: For those who might be interested, the frog in the image is a Cuban Tree Frog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) and the photo was taken in August, 2009 by James Snyder in his backyard in southern Florida.

After the photo Mr. Snyder pulled the light out of the frog’s mouth and he was fine, having suffered no ill effects from ingesting the light-bulb.
