<p>America&#8217;s Liar-in-Chief, Obama strikes again.</p>
<p>But then almost all of these &#8220;green jobs&#8221; that Obama has touted and attacked traditional American jobs and practices over have gone to foreigners so GM&#8217;s moving their electric powertrain development to China shouldn&#8217;t come as a surprise despite Obama giving them a massive handout from the taxpayers&#8217; coffers.</p>

<p>What they&#8217;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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, that&#8217;s not something you see every day, or even every holiday season &#8211; the rare Christmas Frog. <img src='http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif' alt=':lol:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45386" title="Christmas Frog" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/christmas-frog.jpg" alt="Christmas Frog - You just know that PETA will freak" width="450" height="352" /><br />
<strong class="highlight"><em>Rana Tannenbaumensis</em> &#8211; The Christmas Frog</strong></p>
<p>The Christmas Frog (<em>Rana tannenbaumensis</em>) 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.</p>
<p class="highlight" style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>O Christmas Frog, O Christmas Frog,<br />
Your bellies glow delight us!<br />
They&#8217;re warm when summer days are bright,<br />
They&#8217;re warm when winter snow is white.<br />
O Christmas Frog, O Christmas Frog,<br />
Your bellies glow delight us!</em></p>
<p>OK, OK &#8211; It&#8217;s a tree frog that has swallowed a Christmas light, mistaking it for a firefly. <img src='http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Of course, if this pic goes viral, how long do you think it&#8217;ll be before PETA winds themselves up and starts protesting outdoor Christmas lights because of the potential for frog&#8217;s swallowing them? They&#8217;ll probably start a &#8220;Swamp Puppies&#8221; pseudo-education campaign reminiscent of their <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/society/sea-kitten-taxonomy/">Sea Kittens</a> propaganda.</p>
<p>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:</p>

<p><strong class="highlight">NOTE:</strong> For those who might be interested, the frog in the image is a Cuban Tree Frog (<em>Osteopilus septentrionalis</em>) and the photo was taken in August, 2009 by <a title="National Geographic - Wallpapers - Cuban Tree Frog, Florida" href="http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/wallpaper/photography/photos/best-pod-august-09/cuban-tree-frog/" target="_blank">James Snyder</a> in his backyard in southern Florida.</p>
<p>After the photo Mr. Snyder pulled the light out of the frog&#8217;s mouth and he was fine, having suffered no ill effects from ingesting the light-bulb.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Al Gore, the Hierophant of Global Warming, is getting angrier and angrier about his <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/politics/al-gores-new-clothes/">descent into irrelevance</a>. This is unsurprising since he&#8217;s lost a great deal of money with the ongoing collapse of the AGW cult&#8217;s political power and stands to lose even more.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s truly hilarious to watch this ineffectual sociopath decompensate and become more and more unhinged.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-41927" title="global-warming-kool-aid" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/global-warming-kool-aid.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="348" /><br />
<strong class="highlight">Gore™ AGW Kool Aid &#8211; It&#8217;s Not Selling Anymore</strong></p>
<p>At an Aspen Institute media forum titled “Networks and Citizenship” Gore came unhinged and <a title="Colorado Independent - Al Gore calls B.S. on corporate polluters" href="http://coloradoindependent.com/95450/al-gore-calls-b-s-on-corporate-polluters" target="_blank">started railing</a> against just about every segment of American industry.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The model of media manipulation used then, Gore said, “was transported whole cloth into the climate debate. And some of the exact same people — I can go down a list of their names — are involved in this. And so what do they do? They pay pseudo-scientists to pretend to be scientists to put out the message: ‘This climate thing, it’s nonsense. Man-made CO2 doesn’t trap heat. It may be volcanoes.’ Bullshit! ‘It may be sun spots.’ Bullshit! ‘It’s not getting warmer.’ Bullshit!” Gore exclaimed.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Even leaving the profanity and utter gracelessness of Gore&#8217;s rantings aside, this was a pathetic display by a deeply morally bankrupt individual, hell-bent on trying to revive his doomsday cult for his own profit despite the growing weight of findings that shatter their myths.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;They pay pseudo-scientists to pretend to be scientists to put out the message&#8230;&#8221;</em> After all the fraud, shoddy and slanted methodology, subornation of the peer review process, and outright corruption displayed by the IPCC, Al Gore, The University of East Anglia&#8217;s Climate Research Unit, and horde of other Warmists, it&#8217;s safe to say that Gore&#8217;s claim fits him and them far better than those that he railed against.</p>

<p>Sorry, as much as I love the oceans and take issue with the wanton destruction of our maritime environment, this calendar is just not making me angry about the Gulf Oil Spill. If anything, the thought of pretty young women wearing nothing but oil strikes me as a &#8220;golden lining&#8221; in the situation, at least at the hindbrain level.</p>
<p>From Surfrider&#8217;s earlier Press release:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Last year’s oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico left a deep impression in people’s minds. To remember this catastrophe, we have a created a calendar with photos of young naiads covered in oil…This calendar, which will be offered to all members of Surfrider Foundation Europe, is also designed to help recruit new volunteers</em></p></blockquote>
<p>By way of mitigation, the calendar was marketed as stress relief to current members of the organization; it wasn&#8217;t designed as a public push campaign. On the other hand, as proven by my posting of this, everything goes onto the internet and parts of it will stay there long after any thought of context has faded away.</p>

<div class="highlight" style="text-align: center;"><strong>&#8220;Let the land produce living creatures according to our whim&#8221;</strong></div>
<p>I&#8217;m approaching this with a little humor, and not all of it ill-natured, because there is a definite potential benefit from creating transgenic organisms. Even the &#8220;sports,&#8221; which history tells us will be some of the first <a title="Biggest And Brightest Transgenic Glowing Fish Produce Glowing Offspring" href="http://chairforcengineer.blogspot.com/2010/09/biggest-and-brightest-transgenic.html" target="_blank">commercial applications</a>, have the possibility of bringing people a lot of wonder and joy.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s, however, just so very much that could go wrong because scientists often ask, &#8220;Can we&#8230;&#8221; but rarely ask, &#8220;Should we&#8230;&#8221; and we really know very little about the interactions between genes or how transgenic creatures would affect the biosphere as whole.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not even going to go into the nightmares this will cause when, not if, we start doing it with humans. Too many of the scenarios that instantly come to my mind are too deplorable and too plausible.</p>

Of course "greater" means "larger",  "more powerful" , or of "greater effect" as opposed to "better." In the modern age nowhere is this more glaringly apparent than in the Warmists' theories of Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW).]]></description>

<p>Firstly, the whole of the Warmists&#8217; theories are greater than the sum of their parts. Poor data, small errors, and malfeasance early in the modeling process all combined synergistically  to create either a mistake or a fraud far more potent and &#8220;great&#8221; than any of it&#8217;s individual parts would normally be capable of.</p>
<p>Secondly, climate is, like all systems, far more and greater than the sum of its parts &#8211; and the Warmists won&#8217;t even deign to look at all &#8211; or even most &#8211; of those parts. <img src='http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Fortunately, like all poorly crafted constructs fabricated from substandard components, the Warmists&#8217; hypotheses and theories have collapsed under the weight of public scrutiny.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Richard Curtis, the writer us romantic the comedies <em>Notting Hill</em> and <em>Love Actually</em> made an &#8220;interesting&#8221; short film for the British Warmist group, <a title="1010 UK Global - British Warmist Sect who think blowing up children is funny." href="http://www.1010global.org/uk" target="_blank">10:10 UK</a>. In it Warmists, murder anyone &#8211; starting with school children &#8211; by blowing them up with explosives. It&#8217;s quite graphic and gory &#8211; truly, it&#8217;s a Warmist fantasy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="450" height="286" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/h8EUtB45RvE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="286" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/h8EUtB45RvE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
<strong class="highlight">10:10&#8242;s <em>No Pressure</em> &#8211; Go Warmist Or Die Messily</strong></p>
<p>First off &#8211; 10:10 UK&#8217;s Director, Eugenie Harvey of Old Harlow, Essex, has a four-week old baby of her own and she thought that a video that starts off with a teacher blowing up some of her young students was <em>funny</em>. It might be best for Child Protection Services to visit Ms. Harvey and review her fitness as a mother. Such a &#8220;sense of humor&#8221; might well be precursor behavior for later abuse or infanticide.</p>
<p>More importantly &#8211; This &#8220;humorous&#8221; video carries within a fundamental <em>honesty</em> that has been generally lacking in the rhetoric from most of the AGW cultists. One merely has to look back at James Lee&#8217;s September 1, 2010 <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/politics/it-hated-babies/">rampage at Discovery Channel headquarters</a> to see that these Warmists don&#8217;t like human children and aren&#8217;t intrinsically pacifists.</p>
<p>Frankly, with their &#8220;science&#8221; collapsing around their ears and their political capital and societal relevance squandered on doomsaying and in resultant shambles, I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised at all with an increase in both hopeful references to violence and further actual violence itself on the part of AGW cultists in the near future. It is, after all, natural for the True Believer &#8211; one who is often now labeled &#8220;extremist&#8221; &#8211; to turn to violence when all more preferred means have failed them.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong though; I won&#8217;t take them to task for such violence humor or specifically for committing actual violence. I and many others have known for some time now that we were at war with these Warmists and that this war would not be fought solely through legislative means. I actually find the growing honesty on the part of the AGW cultists quite refreshing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="left-image" title="Crazed Asian Eco-Freak James Lee" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/james-lee-e1283375915771.jpg" alt="Crazed Asian Eco-Freak James Lee" width="150" height="263" />A rabid eco-terrorist and devotee of <a title="Ishmael.org" href="http://www.ishmael.org/index1.cfm" target="_blank">Daniel Quinn&#8217;s</a> anti-humanist and anti-civilization doctrine, <a title="TBD - Discovery Channel hostage situation: Gunman identified as James Jay Lee" href="http://www.tbd.com/articles/2010/09/discovery-communications-headquaters-in-silver-spring-evacuated-7172.html" target="_blank">James Lee</a>, has <a title="ABC News -  Environmental Militant Takes Hostages at Discovery Channel Headquarters Suspect James Lee Rails in Manifesto Against 'Filthy Human Babies'" href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/gunman-enters-discovery-channel-headquarters-employees-evacuated/story?id=11535128" target="_blank">attacked the Discovery Channel headquarters</a> in downtown Silver Spring, MD and taken an unknown number of people hostage.</p>
<p>It is armed with at least one pistol and appears to be strapped with explosives (eco-jihadi?).</p>
<p>The crazed Leftist eco-freak did all this because years of its protesting Discovery have born it no fruit. Discovery just wouldn&#8217;t kowtow to the filthy little monkey&#8217;s ludicrous <a title="The rambling manifesto of the subhuman eco-terrorist leftish vermin, James Lee" href="http://www.savetheplanetprotest.com/" target="_blank">demands</a> and, like all of its breed, repeated failure eventually caused it to decompensate and revert to its more natural behavior pattern.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s biggest problem with the Discovery Channel seems to be that it believes that a lot of the network&#8217;s programing fails to discourage human  procreation. You see, it hates babies.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of  any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those  actions. In those programs&#8217; places, programs encouraging human  sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth  programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not  encouraging it.</em></p>
<p><em>Find solutions for Global Warming, Automotive pollution, International  Trade, factory pollution, and the whole blasted human economy. Find ways  so that people don&#8217;t build more housing pollution which destroys the  environment to make way for more human filth! Find solutions so that  people stop breeding as well as stopping using Oil in order to REVERSE  Global warming and the destruction of the planet!</em></p>
<p><em>Saving the Planet means saving what&#8217;s left of the non-human Wildlife by  decreasing the Human population. That means stopping the human race from  breeding any more disgusting human babies! You&#8217;re the media, you can  reach enough people. It&#8217;s your responsibility because you reach so many  minds!!!</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The above are just a sampling of the creature&#8217;s screed but the rest mostly devolve to the same <em>Ishmaelite</em> point; a majority of humanity should perish and the best way of doing that is to eliminate procreation. It and they hate human babies with a quasi-religious passion.</p>
<h3>It Ends Happily</h3>
<p>Fortunately this horrific episode has ended happily for America and humanity in general. The Montgomery County SWAT Team&#8217;s snipers <a title="CBS - James Lee: Who was Alleged Discovery Channel Hostage Taker?" href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20015363-504083.html" target="_blank">exterminated</a> this piece of filth before it could do any further harm.</p>
