Obama promises Russians after re-election

“Unaware that a microphone was recording him, President Obama asked outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev Monday for breathing room until after Mr. Obama’s re-election campaign to negotiate on missile defense.”1

“This is my last election,” Mr. Obama said. “After my election, I have more flexibility.”1

“The two leaders are in Seoul for a nuclear security summit involving the heads of more than 50 nations. Mr. Obama and Mr. Medvedev were huddling close together in their respective chairs when the conversation took place.”1

“Republicans in Washington reacted angrily, accusing Mr. Obama of hiding his true intentions and fearing he might be willing to give the Russians access to sensitive security information after the elections.

Burger in a tube for sustainability

Burger in a tube more sustainable friendly than cows in a pasture.

The world’s first test tube hamburger will be served up this October after scientists perfect the art of growing beef in the lab.

Speaking at the American Academy for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting in Vancouver yesterday afternoon (SUNDAY), Prof Post said his team has successfully replicated the process with cow cells and calf serum, bringing the first artificial burger a step closer.

By generating strips of meat from stem cells researchers believe they can create a product that is identical to a real burger.

Mass-producing beef, pork, chicken and lamb in the lab could satisfy the growing global demand for meat – forecast to double within the next 40 years – and dramatically reduce the harm that farming does to the environment.

Last autumn the Telegraph reported that Prof Mark Post of Maastricht University in the Netherlands had grown small strips of muscle tissue from a pig’s stem cells, using a serum taken from a horse foetus.

He said: “In October we are going to provide a proof of concept showing out of stem cells we can make a product that looks, feels and hopefully tastes like meat.”

He said: “Eventually my vision is that you have a limited herd of donor animals in the world that you keep in stock and that you get your cells from there.” Each animal would be able to produce about a million times more meat through the lab-based technique than through the traditional method of butchery, he added.

To produce the meat, stem cells are placed in a broth containing vital nutrients and serum from a cow foetus

Expert: Global cooling

Data suggests global cooling.

“Colorado State University’s hurricane prediction team made up of Dr. William Gray and Phil Klotzbach recently announced they won’t be predicting the number of hurricanes we’ll get as early as December — like they have for many years.”

“KETK’s chief meteorologist Scott Chesner agrees. “Predicting the weather in the long range is an impossible feat the farther out in time you go, its just another reason why especially in terms of trying to predict man’s influence on the climate — totally preposterous!” Chesner said.”

“It’s just, we haven’t shown in real practice, skill with it.  So we said ‘gee if we’ve tried it 20 years without skill, we’d be lying to the public to put out specific numbers.’”

“Dr. Gray says that no data points to global warming having any effect on hurricane activity.”

“The weather expert says he doesn’t believe global warming is really coming — and in the last decade or so he says data shows the earth has actually cooled.”

Greenland’s ice loss and sea level rise exaggerated

Melting of Greenland's ice sheet greatly exaggerated.

“We believe that the figure of a 15 percent decrease in permanent ice cover since the publication of the previous atlas 12 years (ago) is both incorrect and misleading,” said Poul Christoffersen, glaciologist at the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) at the University of Cambridge.
“The Times Atlas, published by HarperCollins, showed that Greenland lost 15 percent of its ice cover over the past 12 years, based on information from the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Colorado in the United States.
“The Greenland ice sheet is the second biggest in the world and significant shrinking could lead to a global rise in sea levels.
“However, a number of scientists disputed the claim.
“We concluded that a sizable portion of the area mapped as ice-free in the Atlas is clearly still ice-covered.”
“These new maps are ridiculously off base, way exaggerated

City permit required for Bible study

Are you permitted to study the Bible with friends in your home?

“Chuck and Stephanie Fromm already have been fined $300 for holding Bible studies for their friends at their home, they face the potential for additional fines of $500 for each study held, and an appeal to the city was denied.

“the city is demanding that the home Bible study is banned because it is a “church,” unless it purchases a ‘Conditional Use Permit” from the city.

“Imposing a heavy-handed permit requirement on a home Bible study is outrageous,” said Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute, which is working on the case on behalf of the Fromms.

“An informal gathering in a home cannot be treated with suspicion by the government, or worse than that, any gathering of friends, just because it is religious. We cannot allow this to happen in America, and we will fight as long and as hard as it takes to restore this group’s religious freedom.”
“city records showed someone complained, and a code enforcement officer first gave them a verbal warning and then issued citations in May and June. “Can you imagine anybody in any neighborhood, that one person can call and make it a living hell for someone else? That’s wrong … and it’s just sad.”

“The case is similar to a previous dispute in San Diego County. There, officials apologized after a code-enforcement officer tried to shut down a Bible study.

Nobel Prize winner resigns in disgust over Global Warming

Warming within range of stability not a trend

“Dr. Ivar Giaever, a former professor with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the 1973 winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, abruptly announced his resignation Tuesday, Sept. 13, from the premier physics society in disgust over its officially stated policy that “global warming is occurring.”

“Giaever was cooled to the statement on warming theory by a line claiming that “the evidence is incontrovertible.”

“In the APS it is ok to discuss whether the mass of the proton changes over time and how a multi-universe behaves, but the evidence of global warming is incontrovertible?” he wrote in an email to Kate Kirby, executive officer of the physics society.”

“The claim … is that the temperature has changed from ~288.0 to ~288.8 degree Kelvin in about 150 years, which (if true) means to me is that the temperature has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this ‘warming’ period,” his email message said.”

“He has since become a vocal dissenter from the alleged “consensus” regarding man-made climate fears, Climate Depot reported, noting that he was one of more than 100 co-signers of a 2009 letter to President Obama critical of his position on climate change.”

Sly Planned Parenthood ‘Chaplain’ Deception Caught in the act

Those sly devils at Planned Parenthood tried to hoodwink Mississippi voters but were caught and exposed in the act thanks to Jacob Dawson of AFA.

“… Planned Parenthood flew a man from Washington to Mississippi, put him in a clerical collar, and asked him to appeal to the voters with deep
Southern Baptist roots.”

“Planned Parenthood Seattle Chaplain Vincent Lachina was exposed during a Mississippi Secretary of State’s Personhood Amendment Hearing.”

“Lachina claimed to be a Southern Baptist minister….”

“boldly preached an ideology of choice from the pulpit, calling for a “no” vote on prolife Amendment 26….”

“Lachina failed to mention that he is the Washington State Chaplain at Planned Parenthood Federation of America” and possibly a homosexual

Real world NASA data shows global warming alarmism just hot air

NASA data shows global warming not true

Global warming fanatics have shouted down their critics, censored their rebuttals, and intimidated scientists to conform. But now, 11 years of data collected by NASA shows that the global warming claims were just hot air propaganda by alarmists with faulty assumptions. You’ll want to keep this information for your next classroom discussion on global warming.

“Real-world data from NASA’s Terra satellite contradict multiple  assumptions fed into alarmist computer models.”
“Real-world measurements … show far less heat is being trapped in the earth’s atmosphere than the alarmist computer models predict, and far more heat is escaping into space than the alarmist computer models predict.”
“NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth’s atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing.
“…far less heat is being trapped than alarmist computer models have predicted,” and “the atmosphere Continue reading →
