Greenpeace co-founder: No scientific evidence of man-made global warming

 

There is no scientific evidence that human activity is causing the planet to warm, according to Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore, who testified in front of a Senate committee on Tuesday.

Moore argued that the current argument that the burning of fossil fuels is driving global warming over the past century lacks scientific evidence. He added that the Earth is in an unusually cold period and some warming would be a good thing.

“There is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth’s atmosphere over the past 100 years,” according to Moore’s prepared testimony. “Today, we live in an unusually cold period in the history of life on earth and there is no reason to believe that a warmer climate would be anything but beneficial for humans and the majority of other species.”

Issa, House GOP to recall Lois Lerner

 

House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is hauling Lois Lerner back to Congress.

Issa told Lerner’s attorney in a Tuesday letter that he expected the retired IRS official to appear before his committee on March 5.

Lerner, the official at the center of the IRS targeting controversy, invoked her Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination at a May 2013 hearing, just days after she apologized for the agency’s treatment of Tea Party groups.

But the Oversight Committee later ruled that Lerner waived her rights by making an opening statement, setting the stage for her recall next week.

NC: Gun-control group targets Wake Forest Staples

 

A gun-control group that formed after the Sandy Hook mass school shootings in Connecticut plans to ask a national chain store in Wake Forest on Wednesday to prohibit customers from bringing guns inside.

Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America will show up at the Staples store to make that request in person. It’s part of a national campaign to pressure the company to ban guns.

The North Carolina chapter chose that Staples because of a widely reported incident that happened there last year. A toddler reached in his mother’s purse, and discharged a handgun inside, sending a bullet through her hand.

The woman had a permit to carry a concealed handgun, and she was not charged with a crime.

'We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis': Famous liberal scorches Obama's 'dangerous' use of executive orders

 

“A dangerous change for our system” is how a constitutional scholar who voted for President Obama described his use of executive orders to bypass Congress.

Nationally acclaimed constitutional scholar Professor Jonathan Turley of the George Washington University Law School is the second-most cited law professor in the country.

Testifying before a House Judiciary Committee looking into whether the president is faithfully executing the law, Turley flatly stated, “We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis with sweeping implications for our system of government.”

He also said that while he may agree with many of Obama’s policies, he has grave concerns about the way the president is implementing those policies.

Temperatures can drop to -25C, but rules prevent soldiers from facing them

A Norwegian officer says the rules have caused 'amusement' among locals

 

British soldiers are being banned by health and safety rules from training at a military base in the Arctic circle - because it's too cold.

Locals at the Allied Training Centre in Porsanger in Norway said they were stunned that while Norwegian troops were out in -25C weather, the Brits were being kept in the warm because of the army rules.

The base commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel Trond Thomassen confirmed: 'British officers are not in a position to train with large divisions at Porsanger, where the temperature drops to 25 degrees below zero.

$NAACP$: Not for the Advancement of all Colored People

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth ten thousand views. Here are 3 videos you must watch and connect the dots. 

These individuals are the most recent national disgrace on race and cultural dinosaurs. They are bigoted and in the case of Lorraine C. Miller and Richard Fowler defend such behavior. As for their defenders, we Americans should reject them publicly.

• Reverend William Barber, President of the North Carolina NAACP
• Alvin A. Holmes, Alabama State Representative and longtime NAACP member
• Lorraine C. Miller, Interim President of the NAACP 
• Richard Fowler, Radio Host

Video number one: Confronting Reverend Barber for calling Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) a "ventriloquist dummy." The real NAACP would challenge the black community to knuckle down and build a better life and future with education, family structure and hard work towards a better future. Senator Scott stands for these principles and more.

NC: School District Cutting Substitute Teachers’ Hours Due To Obamacare

Via NC Renegade

Substitute teachers in North Carolina are having their hours cut so the school district won’t have to pay for their health insurance under Obamacare, WITN-NC reports.

One district in Pitt County told a WITN reporter that they’d informed substitute teachers they could only work 12 days a month or 90 hours a month. It was not a decision they wanted to make, but the Obamacare mandate forced their hand.
