THE GLOBAL WARMING FRAUD

How do we know we are dealing with a fraud?  Climate change is something that is supposed to happen.  The world is always gettng warmer or colder. The chart shows we humans do not contribute much to our greenhouse gases. With volcanoes producing far more carbon dioxide than humans, one wonders what all the fuse is about regarding our automobiles and industrial gases.  But the global warming cult has a handy explanation.  They like to claim that natural sources of carbon dioxide are already by natural sinks for cardon dioxide. Volanoes are offsett by treaties. The carbon dioxide emitted by sea life is absorbed by seawood. By claiming that there is no natural counterpart to human caused carbon dioxide the globalist cult is attempting to claim that .28% of atmospheric carbon dioxide contributed by humans is upsetting the balance of nature.  But, as this reporter has pointed out previously, there is no blance of nature. It is a romantic notion, but simply not reality.

Famed singer, crooner, Michael Buble, was born on 9 September, in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.  The Multi-platinum artist Michael Bublé grew up near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He was introduced to swing music and old standards by his grandfather, who offered his services for free as a professional plumber to musicians who were willing to let Michael sing a couple of songs with them on stage. He got his big break in show business after former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney discovered his music. At 10 years of struggling, the discovery came at a time when distraught Michael was considering giving up a career in music and getting a job in media. His performance at a corporate gig in summer 2000 impressed Michael McSweeney, speech writer/right hand man to Brian Mulroney, and told Mcsweeney to feel free to use his independent CD as a coaster if he didn’t like it. Mcsweeney gave the CD to Brian & Mila Mulroney, which led to an invitation to sing at their daughter’s wedding, where he was introduced to music producer David Foster,  who took him under his wing. He has gone multi-platinum in over 15 countries. In 2005, he traveled the world over a dozen times, performing sold-out shows throughout the U.S., Europe (including a sold-out performance at the prestigious London’s Royal Albert Hall), Asia, and Australia. His self-titled debut went multi-platinum, and his multi-platinum CD, “It’s Time” (which included the No. 1 Buble-penned smash single “Home”) sold over 5.5 million CDs worldwide. As of October 2006, “It’s Time” went 6 times Platinum in Canada, 4 times Platinum in Australia and Italy, double Platinum in Singapore and USA. Gold status in Belgium, France, Philippines, Sweden and Thailand. As of 2007, “It’s Time” remained on the Billboard Traditional Jazz Albums Charts for a staggering two years and in the No. 1 slot for over 80 weeks, holding the all time record for highest number of weeks at No. 1 by any artist. The internationally acclaimed hit original song “Home” reached No. 1 on charts in more than 10 countries, including Japan, Canada and Italy. “It’s Time” was nominated for 2 Grammy Awards and was the Bestselling Traditional Jazz Album of 2005. His self-written single, “Home” has the distinction of being the most-heard song on Canadian radio in 2005, reaching an audience estimated to exceed 382 million people. Check out his great music. Everyone else has.  EDITOR:   BLOG.JETSETTINGMAGAZINE.COM   and  YOU TUBE.COM

This past week a US Marine Cobra helicopter was making practice touch and go landings at this one of a kind high altitude airport(6,752 Ft.). It is believed that it was to learn how to make landings in the mountains in Afghanistan.  One local citizen was prompted to call the airport office twice complaining about the noise as the choppter went around the pattern. This type of angry citizen can be found at various airports around the U.S. and invariably calls to complain about noise. Some of us run outside to watch these amazing helicopters do their thing. We watch with pride as they fly around the pattern learning how to save the lives of our marines and soldiers on the ground as they fight against the Taliban. We feel patriotic to see these powerful choppers flying over and making careful landings. However, you will find a handful of selfish folks who can only think of themselves instead of the safety of our military men and women fighting to keep us free.

Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, who was hailed a hero after piloting the US Airways flight that landed safely on the Hudson River in January of last year, is retiring. “My message going forward is that I want to remind everyone in the aviation industry — especially those who manage aviation companies and those who regulate aviation – that we owe it to our passengers to keep learning how to do it better,” he said at a news conference shortly after his last flight landed at Charlotte Douglas International Airport.  Sully joined US  Airways in 1980. He said he plans to spend more time with his family and write another book.  He said he will also continue to talk to legislators about raising the minimum qualifications for pilots and work to lower the maximum number of hours pilots are able to work in a single day. Sully noted also, that it is more difficult to be a pilot today it was 3 decades ago. The pressure to hire people with less experience is greater today.  The salaries are so low that the more qualified pilots won’t that the jobs. It was reported that a pilot with Sullenberger’s experience makes about $130,000 to $150,000 annually. He told congress last year that his pay was cut 40% in recent years and his pension was terminated with a promise for a deal worth only “pennies on a dollar” from the federally created Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.  He has recently became a member of the US Airways flight operations safety managerment team, as of last September.

Full body scanning involves radiation. The medical profession has been pretty remiss about pointing out the dangers of radiation, even though radiation can cause cancer. Thats probably because a quite a few diagnostic tests involve the use of radiation, and they are too often cavalier about it (has any doctor about to give you an X-ray bothered asking how many youve had over your lifetime?) Yes, weve had some exceptions, like doctors arguing against the recent fad of annual full body CT scans because the dose is equal to that of several years of background radiation, but that posture is comparatively rare (one of my pet beefs has long been the until recent recommendation to get annual mammograms starting at age 40. Mammograms are a terrible test, with a high level of false positives and false negatives; a manual exam by an experienced practitioner has a much higher success rate of catching the fast-growing, dangerous cancers, but doesnt fit the modern idea of what a test should look like. Oh, and all those radiologists have an installed base of equipment they need to pay off. Think that might have an effect

WHY WERE THE WASPS RECORDS SEALED, AND UNDER WHO’S ORDER? 

The Women Air Service Pilots served their country during World War II ferrying aircraft, flight instructors and test pilots. On July 1, 2009 President Obama signed a bill awarding the WASPs with the Congressional Gold Medal which was also awarded in time to Native American soldiers and the Tuskegee Airmen. This award was only made possible by the huge effort by the WASPs and supporters who worked to make sure that these heroes were given the credit they deserved for their service to their country and America’s victory in World War II. This story was broadcast on July 4th as part of a patriotic tribute to ALL veterans who served the United States.

WHY Wally-Hermès Yachts is the new company created by french luxury brand Hermès and monaco based yacht maker Wally, dedicated to a new lifestyle of living on the sea.  The yacht has been tested in Gotebourg, Sweden, in a specialised tank testing facility, to see how it would perform in big seas. The outcome is that, in full swell, the bow moves a tiny bit and the stern stays completely still. anchored, the boat creates a totally flat surface behind it, like an olympic-size pool where you can swim in total peace. on the bow, there’s a seawater pool 25 metres long that follows the curve of the bow.  The yacht is powered using a diesel electric engine. a surface of the photovolatic panels which measure approximately 900 square meters provide the solar electricity generated which covers part of what is needed to subsist the boat.  A special WHY team has been built to reply to any needs.  http://www.why-yachts.com    

NEWS RELEASE: Ancona, Italy. September 22, 2009. WHY, Wally Hermès Yachts, today unveils a revolutionary approach to cruising in motor yachts with the presentation of a full size model of its first born, an innovative 58 metre-long 38 metre-wide yacht, in Ancona’s shipyard.  Pierre-Alexis Dumas, Artistic Director of Hermès says : “When we met, in autumn 2007, Luca Bassani Antivari, President of Wally had thought about asking Hermès to accessorise the interior of one of his boats. I was impressed by the daring of his projects. My instinct was to get on board with him and go and seek out new territories in yacht design, but I had no interest in speed.” Luca Bassani Antivari explains: “What I’ve always liked about Hermès, aside from its intrinsic quality, is its audacity and radicalism; its desire to go beyond trends, to make no compromises and to maintain the authenticity of the house. Wally shares the same values, ‘Hermès-on-Land’, ‘Wally-on-Sea’: inevitably our paths had to cross.”   EDITOR:    BLOG.JETSETTINGMAGAZINE.COM   and  YOU TUBE.COM   and  designboom

 DAM MGRS HOUSE 017

 In October of 1890, the historic Dam Keeper’s House was built using hand-cut granite blocks from the same quarry that provided the stones for the first dam. For nearly a century, this was home to over a dozen dam keepers and their families. The famed Bill Knickerbocker and his family were early residents between 1909 and 1918. After the Municipal Water district purchased the lake in 1977, and water would no longer be released for irrigation, there would be no need for a resident dam keeper.

The water company returned the house to the forest service with the hope that it would become a museum. This never came to pass, and today this historic building that was built to last forever, sits in an advanced state of deterioration and neglect. The roof has completely fallen in, the south facing wall has fallen down and it appears some of the blocks have disappeared. The inside walls are covered with graffiti as well as some of the rocks surrounding the house.  EDITOR’S NOTE:  A group of citizens need to come to the rescue of this historic house and re-build it, or else move it to the History Museum site just east of Big Bear City Airport.  After 1915 the government began leasing summer home sites near the dam for $15 a year. These sites were along both the north and south side of the lake. Many of these picturesque cabins remain today, and some are owned by the same families that built them. Since there were no roads to this area at the time, all the lumber and supplies had to be brought over by boat.  See more at BIGBEARLAKE.NET   It is a truly informative site.

HUGE ROGUE WAVE STRIKES CRUISE LINER OFF FRENCH COAST KILLING TWO PASSENGERS.     

(UKPA) – 1 hour ago — March 4, 2010.

Two cruise passengers died when their liner was hit by a freak wave off the Mediterranean coast of France. The Cypriot-owned Louis Majesty, carrying nearly 2,000 people, was hit by the 26-foot wave which smashed windshields. Another six people suffered minor injuries.  The accident happened near the port of Marseilles as the ship was sailing from Barcelona to Genoa in Italy with 1,350 passengers and 580 crew. The victims have been identified only as a German and an Italian man. A Louis Cruise Lines spokesman said the ship was hit by three “abnormally high” waves that broke glass windshields in the forward section. The cruise ship is heading back to Barcelona.
