[Watch] Sen Inhofe – Money Obama Wasted on “Climate Change” Buys 1,400 F-35s

Posted on 11 March, 2014 by Rick Wells






A criminal waste of money might be an understatement, given the military budget cuts now being presented by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel.
The ridiculous climate change pontifications by the occupier of the White House are more than an irritation or the substance for musings about his naiveté. They are a serious waste of money that America simply doesn’t have to throw away.
That point was made brutally clear by Senator James Inhofe in recent Senate testimony regarding the DoD budget submitted and the shortcomings of the upcoming fiscal year 2015.
Senator Inhofe knows that the whole global warming is a non-existent fraud being perpetrated against America and the citizens of the world by an oligarchy seeking more power, more control and more wealth. He’s comments are below:

INHOFE: I have a CRS report that shows, and I’ve been working on this for quite some time, that in the last five years, between 2009 and 2014, the president has spent $120 billion on the environmental agenda, mostly global warming, climate and that type of thing. And I did a little bit of math, when we’re talking about the crisis that we’re in, and I’ve quoted so many people here from the intelligence community, from the defense community, saying that this is a real serious crisis that we’re in.
And in that respect, if you’ll just take the amount that was not authorized by Congress — and I’m talking about the environmental agenda, you could actually buy 1,400 F-35s. And I think people need to understand that there’s a price we’re paying for all these agendas that have been rejected by Congress.
I applaud your honesty and the American people do also, I think, Secretary Hagel, when you said, “American dominance on the seas and the skies and in space can no longer be taken for granted.” We hear from General Odierno, he said, “Such reductions would not allow us to execute the 2012 defense strategic guidance and will make it very difficult to conduct even one sustained major combat operation.” General Dempsey, you said, “We’re putting our military on a path where the force is so degraded and so unready that it would be immoral to use force.” General Amos said, “We will have fewer forces arriving, less trained — arriving later to the fight. This is a formula for more American casualties.”
We’re talking about American casualties, deaths. That’s how risk fits into this. Frank Kendall, your chief of technology, Undersecretary Frank Kendall said on the third of January, “We’re cutting our budget substantially, while some of the people we worry about are going in the opposite direction. We’ve had 20 years since the end of the Cold War, and sort of presumption that the United States that we are technologically superior militarily. I don’t think that’s a safe assumption anymore.”

The occupant of the White House is directing funds in defiance of Congress to projects that the Senator is speaking of, largely through the EPA and departments of energy.
Maybe these are merely the foolish enterprises of a foolish administration. They could alternatively be a deliberate endeavor to weaken our nation though insolvency by a subversive, destructive regime.
Regardless of whichever scenario is the case, America is still facing what Senator Inhofe and the Joint Chiefs referred to as a “serious crisis.” If that is their collective opinions, we need to be paying attention.
The misguided will of one man, especially an illegitimate occupier of the White House, cannot be allowed to override and negate the survival and well-being of an entire nation.

US Military Cut, $120 Billion Spent on Climate Change

Thu, March 13, 2014



As the United States military is being unilaterally disarmed, $120 billion is spent on "climate change" initiatives.

No, Uncle Sam doesn’t really want YOU: Military now turns down 80% of applicants

Uncle Sam doesn’t want you. At least 80 percent of you.
These days, the U.S. military is only taking 20 percent of the applicants who walk into their local recruiter’s office intent on enlisting in the armed services.

Army Sgt. 1st Class Terrence Hoard told the Kansas City Star that his recruitment office once needed to sign up 16 to 20 soldiers per month to meet recruitment goals. Today, he can get by with 10 to 12.
“We’re turning down twice as many as before,” he told the paper, which reported that four of every five adults who seek to join the military in 2014 do not make the cut.
The U.S. Army hopes to hit 57,000 recruits for active duty this year. It’s on pace to do just that, even while applying a stricter set of standards as it pertains to physical fitness, appearance (i.e., tattoos), intelligence test results and an applicant’s criminal history.
The Navy is no different.
“It’s not that we have a zero defect mentality, because we don’t,” Nathan Christensen, a Navy officer in public affairs for the Defense Department, told the Kansas City Star. “But it is true that the quality of military recruits right now is the highest it’s been in 40 years.”
The tough environment for potential recruits is due in large part to troop reductions in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the Pentagon’s plans to cut the size of the active duty Army.

5 Myths About Antarctic Melt

By By Becky Oskin, Senior Writer 2 hours ago

WEST ANTARCTICA ICE SHEET IS MELTING




News that the catastrophic collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet is already underway, like other big reports about the southernmost continent, spur chatter and questions about what's really happening at the bottom of the world.

Here, Live Science explains the reality behind some common misconceptions about big changes in Antarctica.
1. Antarctic ice is getting bigger, not shrinking!
Yes, the Antarctic sea ice has been growing larger over the last few decades. But here's what people miss when they raise this point: Sea ice is NOT the same as land ice. When scientists talk about the Antarctic Ice Sheet melting, they're referring to glacial ice on land. And unlike the Arctic ice cap, which persists year-round, in Antarctica, almost all of the sea ice melts in the summer. So having more sea ice does little to boost Antarctica's total ice mass. [Vanishing Glaciers: See Stunning Images of Earth's Melting Ice]
Interestingly, the growing sea ice might be related to the shrinking glaciers. Stronger winds, along with changing ocean temperatures and salinity (salt content) are driving the increase in sea ice, by creating more open areas for ice to form and by reducing melting. The same conditions are also linked to the retreating glaciers. Winds drive an ocean circulation pattern that brings up warm water, which is nibbling away at the glaciers from below.
2. It must be all those volcanoes.

West Antarctica, where the ice is melting fastest, is also home to a number of active volcanoes. Could they be melting the ice, instead of climate change?
Several lines of evidence say the answer is a resounding NO.
First is Iceland. The land mass has many very active volcanoes, but glaciers still cover its surface. And Iceland is just one of several examples showing that fire and ice can coexist at volcanoes without widespread melting occurring. Second, volcanoes called tuyas erupted through ice sheets during past Ice Ages, and there is little evidence they caused rapid, catastrophic melting. Third, the volcanic activity beneath West Antarctica hasn't significantly changed in the past few decades, which is when the glaciers there started their galloping retreat. Finally, a super-eruption the size of Yellowstone's biggest blast would be needed to melt through the miles of ice that cloak the volcanoes, scientists have calculated. [Fire and Ice: Images of Volcano-Ice Encounters]
3. It's all a global warming conspiracy
Forty years of data don't care whether or not some people oppose the 97 percent of scientists who agree that humans are causing global warming. The latest findings from West Antarctica are based on direct observations of retreating glaciers, not computer models or climate projections. The study concludes that West Antarctica's six biggest glaciers are shrinking back into deep valleys with no ridges or mountains to halt the rapid pace. (Here's where a volcano might actually help!) And no amount of global warming or cooling, save a new ice age, will make a dent in the retreat.
4. The Earth will cycle itself into another ice age anyway
Climate scientists also agree the Earth has naturally warmed and cooled throughout its history. These cycles have repeated themselves about every 100,000 years for the last 900,000 years. If the pattern held true again, Earth might already be heading into another ice age, but there's a confounding factor: humans. Greenhouse gases, aerosols (airborne pollution particles) and other changes wrought by humans mean the natural climate cycle can't play out the same as before. Also, carbon dioxide levels are heading toward levels last recorded when the Earth was much warmer, about 3 million years ago, before modern humans evolved. The Earth is not heading into an ice age anytime soon.
5. Ice shrinks when it melts, so ocean levels will go down
The Antarctic Ice Sheet is on land, not floating in the ocean. Actually, it is dipping its toes in the sea, but the majority of the ice is on land. (Antarctica's glaciers end in floating ice shelves that extend into the ocean.)
Thus, the vast majority of the ice is not currently displacing water and will raise sea level when it melts and flows into the ocean. Fascinating side note: Land in West Antarctica is already rising up where the ice cover has retreated. Called glacial rebound, this phenomenon is still taking place in North America, where the land is recovering from the weight of the massive ice sheets that covered the continent during the last ice age.

Obama's 'uncle sam' doesn't want you unless you are an illegal alien. Then, even the Republicans want you to flood the US military.

What's wrong with this picture?
