Obama's Afghan Speech, One Day Later
By Bill O'Reilly
The president is getting hammered by both conservatives and liberals over his plan to deal with Afghanistan. The right doesn't like the timetable for U.S. troop withdrawal, and, shockingly, some on the left reject it as well:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CHRIS MATTHEWS, MSNBC: If I were the Taliban right now, I would put a little post-it up on that month in 2011 and say, this is when we do our surge.

BOB SCHIEFFER, CBS NEWS: I don't understand, Katie, how you can set a deadline on what you're going to do. And you know, this is not a football game, where there's a clock, where the time runs out. To win this war, you have to defeat the enemy.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

But defeating the enemy will not be done with 30,000 more troops. As Stratfor reported Wednesday, that is impossible.

What the additional troops will do is give NATO more time to train the Afghan army. That is the key to Mr. Obama's strategy.

As far as a timetable for withdrawal, I don't think it's a big deal. As we've seen, President Obama didn't take the troops out of Iraq very quickly, and he won't take them out of Afghanistan if there's any risk to his leadership. The president does not seem to like aggressive action, but he doesn't want to go down in history as a weak leader either.

"Talking Points" believes the bigger problem is Mr. Obama's lack of passion for victory. What the nation needed to hear Tuesday night was a little Gen. Patton:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GEN. GEORGE PATTON: Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war, because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

Instead of a resolute Patton, what we got was a placid Barack Obama:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: We will go forward with the confidence that right makes might and with a commitment to forge an America that is safer, a world that is more secure and a future that represents not the deepest of fears, but the highest of hopes.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

Waging war is not solely an intellectual exercise. Emotion has to be involved. Great wartime leaders like Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln understood that.

At this point, I don't believe President Obama does. As always, I could be wrong.

TAKE THE WARMISTS TOWNING
Tim Blair
Nationals senator Barnaby Joyce has lately been on the road, presenting climate change sceptic (and scientist) Bob Carter at town hall meetings. The ABC’s Tony Jones thinks he should also include warmenists in those talks:
Have you equally taken climate scientists, Australian climate scientists, who in the vast majority of scientists agree that global warming is a real and present danger to Australia, have you taken them out to town hall meetings in the bush to have them put their point of view, the opposite point of view to Bob Carter, have you done that?
This is remarkable. The ABC – the ABC, of all places – is now calling for equal time on climate views. Joyce’s reply:
But Tony, they don’t lack a venue. They’re being subsidised by the government to the hilt. They’ve got every venue in the world.
Which is exactly true, yet Jones and the ABC worry about a lone opposition scientist speaking at remote rural locations. Where was all this concern about balance when the ABC was turning Tim Flannery into a climate hero? Are warmenist arguments so weak that they can’t stand up to one bloke in a hall?

Actually, that might be why the ABC is so scared.

Judges help themselves to your will
Andrew Bolt
JULIE Woinarski wanted to leave all her money to her poor and lonely sister, who’d devoted her life to looking after their mum.

But a Melbourne judge has decided he knows better how Woinarski’s money should be spent - and gave $200,000 of the Caulfield woman’s estate to her millionaire neighbour instead.

Oh, plus $100,000 to the lawyers.

Need better proof that judges now have too much power to treat your last will almost as if it were their own?

Here’s a judgment that not only robs you of your right to leave your money as you wish, but invites every hopeful to now come help themselves.

Woinarski, the seventh of nine children, left Spain in 1962 and settled in Australia. It was left to her youngest sister, Elena Sanchez, to look after their widowed mother, which she did from when she was just 14 until 1983, when she was 49.

Sanchez never went out to work, never married and never had children. It was thanks to her sacrifice that her sister could make a new life for herself here.

From Melbourne, Woinarski first sent Sanchez money and then rent from a flat she bought in Leon.

Even so, Sanchez, now 75 and with heart problems, lives on a pension in a basic rented apartment in Spain with no shower or hot water.

So you can imagine why Woinarski wanted to look after her sister. She herself had done all right. She’d married, and on her death in a South Caulfield nursing home in 2007 had an estate worth $1.7 million.

In her will, she declared she wanted every cent of that to go to Sanchez, for her sister to share as she thought fit among their other relatives, none of whom are at all rich, either.

See anything in this so far to suggest that Woinarski’s decision was anything less than understandable and just?

Now meet Justice Stephen Kaye.

How Climategate killed faith in the media
Andrew Bolt
HERE’S a test of the media’s health. Search on Google for the term “Climategate”. Wow: 18.6 million 27 million mentions already.

Now search for “Climategate” on the ABC’s online site. Er, just two? And one just a reader’s retort?

Do the same search at The Age and the results show much the same wild mismatch. And in that cavern is where blogs now bloom, and some papers die.

Climategate refers to leaked University of East Anglia emails that reveal how the key scientists behind global warming theory faked data, destroyed evidence needed to check their work, and conspired to silence sceptics. They even show some admitting the world isn’t warming as predicted.

You may think all this fatal to global warming theory or not. But what you can’t think is that it isn’t a story at all.

After all, two universities are already holding inquiries, and the White House has had to defend even Barack Obama’s warmist beliefs.

The emails may even have cost Malcolm Turnbull his job, since every Liberal who voted in his one-vote loss knew of this scandal that now undermined his own warmist faith.

So why so little mainstream reporting of it? Let me answer by anecdote.
===
Climategate: Mann now turns on Jones
Andrew Bolt
The Climategate conspiracists are now blaming each other, with Michael Mann clouting his former friend Phil Jones with his hockey stick:

One of the scientists to whom the emails were addressed, Professor Michael Mann, the Director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University has moved to distance himself from some of the comments in the emails that suggest scientists did not want the IPCC, the UN body charged with monitoring climate change, to consider studies that challenged the view global warming was genuine and man-made.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s The World Tonight, Prof Mann said: “I can’t put myself in the mind of the person who wrote that email and sent it. I in no way endorse what was in that email.”

Prof Mann also said he could not “justify” a request from Prof Jones that he should delete some of his own emails to prevent them from being seen by outsiders.

“I can’t justify the action, I can only speculate that he was feeling so under attack that he made some poor decisions frankly and I think that’s clear.”

Prof Mann then argued however that there was “absolutely no evidence” that he too had manipulated data, while he also said “I don’t believe that any of my colleagues have done that”.

The Liberals’ Latham
Andrew Bolt
Was Malcolm Turnbull, who first volunteered to join Labor, actually a Labor plant? Crazy talk, I know, but, gee:
KEVIN Rudd has launched his campaign to demolish Tony Abbott, warning that the new Opposition Leader wants to dot the nation with nuclear reactors and reinstate John Howard’s industrial relations laws.

The Prime Minister has also accused Mr Abbott of espousing “magic pudding politics” by claiming Australia could tackle climate change without the market-based solution of putting a price on carbon.

And Malcolm Turnbull, ousted by Mr Abbott as Liberal leader on Tuesday, has reignited party tension by endorsing Mr Rudd’s argument on the issue.
Turnbull is the Liberals’ Latham. The trouble is, at least Latham quit Parliament before savaging his own.

Question: did Brendan Nelson, who lost the leadership to Turnbull on this very same issue, then run a public get-square campaign against the new leader? As I warned a few days ago, this megalomaniac believes no Liberal party is worth voting for unless it’s led by him.
===
Hard-Right Hamilton
Andrew Bolt
David Jackmanson is offended by claims that Clive Hamilton is a Leftist, too:

IT’S popular to call Clive Hamilton, the Greens’ candidate in the Higgins by-election, a left-winger. In fact, he’s further to the right than the Liberal candidate.

It’s a sign of the decline of Left politics that a reactionary, pro-censorship sexual moraliser who hates the idea of working people enjoying a higher material standard of living could ever be considered left-wing.

===
Balance is what we’re offering, Tony
Andrew Bolt
The ABC finally demands a balanced debate between warmists and sceptics. Well, demands that of sceptics like Senator Barnaby Joyce, that is, who, Lateline host Tony Jones is moritified to discover, takes sceptic scientist Bob Carter with him to town hall meetings:
Have you equally taken climate scientists, Australian climate scientists, who in the vast majority of scientists agree that global warming is a real and present danger to Australia, have you taken them out to town hall meetings in the bush to have them put their point of view, the opposite point of view to Bob Carter, have you done that?
Let’s see what what a “balanced debate” looks like when Jones conducts it. Example. Example. Example.

How the ABC covered for Flannery
Andrew Bolt
ABC Radio National’s Breakfast show refuses to correct the factual record, redress a nasty smear or properly inform its readers of a critical scientific issue. Which is why I’ll reprint my letter here:
Tim Flannery ... on your show accused me of twisting what he’d said (on Lateline), and of sinking to “depths” by deliberately misquoting him. He claimed I’d said something completely false and urged your listeners not to trust my reporting.

Will I get a right of reply to this false accusation and this smearing of my ethics and professionalism?

Or will you at least correct the record - and tell your listeners tomorrow Flannery had indeed said what he falsely denied on your show having said? Will you tell them that I indeed reported him perfectly accurately, and that claims that I’m an untrustworthy twister or liar are false?

Here is what I’d said on PM:
Tim Flannery himself this week on ABC TV admitted that in fact the world was not warming, it was cooling, and it was doing so against what the climate change models on which Kevin Rudd is relying were predicting.
Here now are the actual quotes of Flannery’s on which I relied, and which you could have actually checked on the Lateline site and quoted at him yourself, had you cared to hold him to account:
In the last few years, were there hasn’t been a continuation of that warming trend, we don’t understand all of the factors that create earth’s climate, so there are some things we don’t understand… These people (climate scientists) work with models, computer modelling, when the computer modelling and the real world data disagrees you have a problem, that’s when science gets engaged. What Kevin Trenberth, one of the most respected climate scientist in the world, is saying is, “We have to get on our horses and find out what we don’t know about the system, we have to understand why the cooling is occurring, because the current modelling doesn’t reflect it”.... sure for the last few years we have gone through a slight cooling trend
Flannery may claim that there has still been an overall warming trend since 1975, and I don’t disagree. But that is not the issue in debate here, and Flannery is throwing dust in your eyes. The real point is that the world since at least 2001 has cooled, not warmed, and this is - as Flannery last week for the first time admitted - against the models that predicted man’s gases would heat the world catastrophically. That’s what made Flannery’s admission so startling. That is the very point that had Kevin Trenberth, a modelling expert, so alarmed. That’s what I was referring to.

I think your listeners deserve to hear both sides of this story. Don’t you?

The worst for Rudd? They laughed, too
Andrew Bolt
Lovely to have this pompous sanctimony in this most sanctimonious of times get a little pricking, this time by Tony Abbott (but of course) at a dinner of the Australia Israel Leadership Forum:
When he came to speak, he mentioned Israel’s ongoing struggles with hostile forces in the Middle East but went on to poke fun at an environmental slogan of Mr Rudd’s.

“I cannot imagine many Israeli politicians claiming that the ‘greatest moral challenge of our time’ was climate change,’’ Mr Abbott said.

The jibe, coming a day after the Senate voted down the Rudd Government’s emissions trading scheme upon Mr Abbott’s elevation to the Coalition’s leadership, sparked a burst of laughter from the audience…

Every speaker acknowledged the Aboriginal custodians of the land where Sydney’s CBD now sits, but Mr Abbott went a step further, with a nod to the many Jewish Australians present.

“I should also acknowledge my predecessor (Mr Turnbull), the political custodian of the land in which so many of you live, the electorate of Wentworth,’’ Mr Abbott said.
Such a refreshing change.

HAPPY WHEELS
Tim Blair
Dismay at the SMH:
New car buyers appear oblivious to climate change concerns, with the latest sales figures showing people are flocking back to fuel-guzzling four-wheel-drives …

While the growth in new car sales was remarkable, the real story was the type of vehicles being sold. While sales of the smallest cars on the market fell in November, four-wheel-drives and utes enjoyed a sales bonanza.

The Toyota HiLux utility was the best selling vehicle in the country, outselling the Holden Commodore, while sales of 4WD-style SUVs were up a staggering 44 per cent.

Toyota’s smallest car, the Yaris, saw sales slump by 20 per cent, while the company’s thirstiest vehicle, the LandCruiser, recorded a 35 per cent jump.

Sales of the petrol-electric Prius also dropped, despite the recent arrival of an all-new model.
Buyers are obviously swayed by the proven economy of massive V8s.

HANDS OFF
Tim Blair
Unhappy greenist Graham Readfearn probes Climategate:
I’ve taken the time myself to read through many of the emails - or at least the versions of the emails posted online by bloggers.
Is he suggesting that the CRU emails aren’t genuine? How terribly sceptical of him. Others in the green camp are simply losing their minds, as Mark Steyn points out:
It may well be that Warmergate has come along too late. I won’t pretend to know the motivations of Jones, Mann and their colleagues, but judging from recent eco-advertising their work appears to have driven worshippers at the First Church of the Settled Scientist literally insane. A new commercial shows polar bears dropping from the skies onto city streets and crushing the cars below …

As the ad explains, “An average European flight produces over 400 kg of greenhouse gases for every passenger. That’s the weight of an adult polar bear.”?Oooookay. It’s A Warmerful Life: every time they call your flight, a poley bear loses its wings.
Meanwhile, tragic activists who’ve flown to Denmark in the hope of shaking Al Gore’s hand may have killed their share of bears for nothing:
Al Gore has canceled his $1,209-a-handshake appearance in Copenhagen.
The Great Cooling Festival hasn’t even begun, and already key deals are being broken.

RARE SPECIES SOUGHT
Tim Blair
An unexpected problem for the University of Montreal:
Researchers were conducting a study comparing the views of men in their 20s who had never been exposed to pornography with regular users.

But their project stumbled at the first hurdle when they failed to find a single man who had not been seen it.

“We started our research seeking men in their 20s who had never consumed pornography,” said Professor Simon Louis Lajeunesse. “We couldn’t find any.”

THEY’RE USUALLY SO PEACEFUL
Tim Blair
“Climate change could enrage sharks.” So claimed the original headline on this piece of warm-mongering:
Warmer ocean temperatures caused by global warming could cause sharks and other fish to become more aggressive, according to a new Australian study.

Research conducted by the University of New South Wales found that a slight lift in water temperatures — just two or three degrees — can cause some fish to become up to 30 times more aggressive than they normally would be.

The studies were conducted on young damsel fish, but head researcher Dr Peter Biro told ninemsn “he would be surprised” if sharks did not also undergo a similar transformation in warm water.
Well, obviously. It just stands to reason.

Gore’s mountain of misinformation
Andrew Bolt
Holland’s Elsevier reports on new research that once more shows Al Gore faked his findings in An Inconvenient Truth:
Frormer American vice president and Nobel Prize winner Gore has for years used the melting snow on Africa’s highest mountain (5892 metres) for his climate propaganda. The snow cover is shrinking and that is caused by man and his greenhouse gases!

The Dutch scientist Jaap Sinninghe Damsté debunks this story of climate guru Gore in the leading periodical Nature.

A natural process of large climate shifts seems to be the true cause, says the Dutch Organisation for Scientific Research on Thursday....

The researcher and European colleagues discovered that Kilimanjaro underwent successive periods of heavy monsoons and extreme dryness. Ice and snow retreat from the top in dry periods and return in the very wet ones....

Al Gore must find another symbol for his climate problem. Kilimanjaro does now have little snow on the peak, but that seems to be completely natural.
(My translation.)

No doubt a correction of this and all the other errors and exaggerations in Gore’s film, which made much of Kilimanjaro’s snow cover, will be sent to the millions of students forced to watch it as a lesson in “science”.

Oh, and what did the CSIRO top expert in global warming effects, Penny Whetton, say of this farrago of exaggerations, distortions and untruths upon its release - when even a mere journalist then could see through the bunkum?
“I was really quite moved, and given that this film was about a topic I deal with every day, this says something about how powerfully it communicates its message. Its scientific basis is very sound.” 4.75 out of 5
Retraction, please, Ms Whetton.

UPDATE

I’m not sure even The Australian’s journalists have quite caught up with the public’s sudden revolt against scaremongers like Al Gore. Check the readers’ comments to its latest report on the Great Green Gore’s pronouncements.

Climategate - Saudis says Copenhagen deal now threatened
Andrew Bolt
Climategate, a non-story to ABC warmists, could now derail the Copenhagen summit, claims one of the negotiators:
Saudi Arabia’s lead climate negotiator… Mohammad Al-Sabban told BBC News that the issue will have a “huge impact” on next week’s UN climate summit, with countries unwilling to cut emissions…

Mr Al-Sabban made clear that he expects it to derail the single biggest objective of the summit - to agree limitations on greenhouse gas emissions.

”It appears from the details of the scandal that there is no relationship whatsoever between human activities and climate change,” he told BBC News.

“Climate is changing for thousands of years, but for natural and not human-induced reasons. So, whatever the international community does to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will have no effect on the climate’s natural variability.”

Some other countries shared this view, he said; and as a result, governments would not be prepared to countenance agreeing anything that would affect economic growth for many years, until “new evidence” settled the scientific picture…

Mr Al-Sabban said the UN summit should encourage a “full investigation” of the CRU e-mails affair.
UPDATE

American politicians demand answers to questions not even yet put by journalists to Kevin Rudd:

Two key Obama Administration scientists were grilled this morning about Climategate at a hearing of the House of Representatives Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming this morning…

Ranking member James Sensenbrenner (R–WI) led the assault, attacking John Holdren, the president’s science adviser. Sensenbrenner, a former chair of the House Science committee, quoted an e-mail from 2003 in which Holdren called scientists Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas “amateurs” at interpreting climate data and said that their findings are “flawed.”

“How can you be objective on this?” said Sensenbrenner....

Representative Candice Miller (R–MI) quoted from this e-mail from Michael Mann about the quality of a journal, Climate Research:
I think we have to stop considering “Climate Research” as a legitimate peer-reviewed journal. Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or cite papers in, this journal. We would also need to consider what we tell or request of our more reasonable colleagues who currently sit on the editorial board…
“How unfortunate,” said Miller, that scientists would work together to undermine a journal whose findings they disagreed with… Sensenbrenner called it one example of “scientific fascism” that the e-mails revealed.

The head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Jane Lubchenco, did not at first defend the CRU scientists in her appearance before the committee. Instead, she told members that she did not “believe these e-mails are typical” of the scientific community’s behavior.

The pain of a new Sydney every decade
Andrew Bolt
This huge boom in immigration shows how mad Kevin Rudd is to promise to cut out emissions by 5 per cent (on 2000 levels) by 2020.

That cut is tough enough - impossible really - when you figure that our emissions have actually been growing each year, and that this 5 per cent cut is really more like a 30 per cent cent on what we’d otherwise expect to be emitting just a decade from now.

Now add this news of today:
The Bureau of Statistics reports that Australia’s population growth rose to another record level in the year to June, with preliminary figures showing the country grew by 443,139 or 2.07 per cent.
This means that at current levels of immigration we will have more new Australians by 2020 than live now in Sydney. A whole new Sydney in just 10 years - and we’ll have to make good their total emissions as well.

Then add the other considerations we must face with a growth rate so foolishly high. Where are the new dams? The new (coal-fired) power stations? The new housing land?

We have huge immigration running smack into green bans on the very things we need to make a home for all these new Australians. Something is very badly out of whack.

Giving the Chief Scientist cold water
Andrew Bolt
Chief Scientist Penny Sackett dismisses the significance of nearly a decade of cooling of the atmosphere, despite predictions of the warmist models:
Asked to explain data that showed the earth had been cooling in recent years, the trained astrophysicist acknowledged air temperatures had levelled during the La Nina weather pattern, now nearing an end.

“But next time someone talks about cooler weather, ask them if they are talking about the temperature in the small amount of atmosphere above the surface of the earth or the great mass of heat retained in the world’s oceans,” she said.
Hmm. Good question, Chief Scientist, and it’s true one of us is confused. Shall we talk about these measures of ocean temperature, which also show an unexpected fall lately…

Or this?

Or this:

Your call.

Sorry? What was that? Er, you did know, didn’t you, that the oceans have been cooling lately, too? And against the predictions of the models? Hello? Chief Scientist?
