solar output

Why is Pat Robertson still on the air? He clearly does not understand global warming secondary to man’s burning of fossil fuels. Just the other day, he said, “keep in mind that Mars, and say, how many SUVs, how many oil refineries are there on Mars? And yet, if the relationship to the sun that is affecting the climate on Mars.” What? I could take a good deal of time explaining why this may be the most uninformed statement that I’ve posted on this blog in many years. Instead, let’s just leave it at that. Pat Robertson does not understand global warming and probably has no desire to actually read any of the science associated with it. With regards to our environment here on planet Earth, we have measured very little change in the sun’s radiation over the last several decades. Therefore, the fact that our planet is warming has nothing to do with solar output. Then again, we knew this. This is yet another smokescreen. The sad part is that Robertson’s statement is deceiving and dishonest. When I think of a man who believes in the Bible and believes in Jesus, I would like to think that that man would go out of his way to be honest, sincere and forthright.

I just want to know why I’m never invited to conferences where people are spending lavishly for no particular good reason. Is it me? Currently there are hearings in the House oversight and Government Reform committee. It appears that the GSA (Government Services Administration) spent over $800,000 on some type of “training” conference. I’m ready – train me. 🙂 Seriously, it really is nice to see that Congress is taking its oversight responsibility seriously. More importantly, I’d like to see the conclusion of their study and investigation and what steps will be taken to ensure that taxpayer dollars aren’t wasted. If this is an investigation which does nothing to change the culture, then it is a waste of time.

Republicans were never serious about deficit reduction.

Sheriff Joe appears to be in some significant hot water – again.
