I was privileged to work with John Coleman, the founder of The Weather Channel in the year before it became a reality and then for the first of the 6 years I was fortunate to be the Director of Meteorology. No one worked harder than John to make The Weather Channel a reality and to make sure the staffing, the information and technology was the very best possible at that time. John currently works with KUSI in San Diego. He posts regularly. I am very pleased to present his latest insightful post.
By John Coleman
It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the research to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.
Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild scientific scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmentally conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minute documentary segment.
I do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions of either party. However, Global Warming, i.e. Climate Change, is not about environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you believe in. It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of life-long expertise. And I am telling you Global Warming is a non-event, a manufactured crisis and a total scam. I say this knowing you probably wont believe a me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be it.
I have read dozens of scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct. There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismissal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.
In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious. As the temperature rises, polar ice cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm pattern all fail to occur as predicted everyone will come to realize we have been duped. The sky is not falling. And, natural cycles and drifts in climate are as much if not more responsible for any climate changes underway. I strongly believe that the next twenty years are equally as likely to see a cooling trend as they are to see a warming trend.

POLLUTION vs CLIMATE
By: Harvey W. Maier, Lynden WA
.....It appears that air "pollution" is being confused/associated with global warming. The current political battle over global warming/climate change is a totally different subject and boils down to the fundamental issue of: "Does CO2 cause global warming?" Regardless, carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant because there would be no life on Earth, as we know it, without carbon dioxide (CO2).
.....Carbon Dioxide (CO2) does not cause Global Warming because there is no past historical scientific factual evidence, data and/or records that link CO2 as a forcing factor or a cause of an increasing temperature rise climate warming period. Any current rising temperatures is not causation. ALL other global warming arguments are irrelevant, since humans are incapable of controlling any natural occurring climate change. Climate has and will forever change; there is no such thing as normal Climate.
....Proxy scientific data from the past few 100,000 year 'Ice Age' terminations, reveal that the rise of CO2 levels trail the relatively abrupt temperature rise by 800-2000 years. This is the equivalent of 11-76 human lifetimes; a very very long time.
.....There is scientific proxy evidence/data from past climate periods that reveal CO2 levels about 18 times greater than the CO2 levels present today; which were concurrent with non-rising temperatures equivalent of those present today.
.....The best that could happen now is for an abrupt short period (30 year) climate shift to cooling. That certainly would put an end to the current global warming Goracle hysteria.
{Goracle = The self deliverer, self annointed authoritative person who divines the future of
Global Warming.}

Official Global Warming Talking Points of the Week:
"Throw out the record books"
It's amazing how this week so many "spokespersons" have used the same line "Throw out the record books" all over the United States. This week the seems to have been chosen as "'insert location here' is experiencing (or will be) the hottest temperatures since 'insert date here.'" Here are a few:
Meghan McCloskey of Environment Colorado
Parjanya Rijal of Environment California
Environment California Global Warming Advocate Jason Barbose
Matt Wallace of Environment Iowa
Environmental Texas Director Luke Metzger
Environment Texas Field Associate JJ Karabias
Environment Florida field director Holly Binns
Adam Rivera, Environment Florida
U.S. Public Interest Research Group spokeswoman Carly Melin
U.S. PIRG spokesperson Angela Kilbert
U.S. PIRG spokesman Ruben Henriquez
U.S. PIRG spokesperson Erin Wetherley
U.S. PIRG Federal Global Warming Program Director Emily Figdor
Glen Hooks, the Sierra Club
The above articles all appeared in the last three days and they all contain the same exact quotation:
"Throw out the record books"
This is the mantra being parroted around the country following a bullshit report released Tuesday by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group. The "report" claims to be the results of a study that claims that 2006 was an excepetionally hot year. In the " report " you will find a table that shows 10 cherry-picked locations from the lower 48 states that the authors use to make their case. I find it rather interesting that only ten locations are listed out of thousands in the continental US. Oh, and these are all surface locations that just happen to be located at airports. Anyway, you can read the report for yourself and decide whether or not the results were determined at the time of conception.

Arnold Can't Give Us 'Green' Cement
by Tom McClintock [politician] 6/4/07
GOV. Arnold Schwarzenegger has staked his administration upon two signature issues: his international leadership to reduce greenhouse gases and his promise to construct new highways, dams, levees, aqueducts and other public works.
In April "the green governor" toured the globe to tout his greenhouse-gas bill (AB 32) that requires a 25 percent reduction in carbon dioxide by 2020, making it the most restrictive emissions law in the country. More recently, the governor toured California to tout his public-works renaissance that requires $40 billion in taxpayer-financed bonds, making it the biggest borrowing binge in the country.
Individually, these two media events, have played to rave reviews. But combined, they form a picture of breathtaking mendacity.
Schwarzenegger's crusade against greenhouse gases is the single greatest impediment to the era of public works that he has promised. And the crusade for public-works construction is the biggest impediment to reducing greenhouse gases.
To understand the dilemma requires a recap of the chemistry lecture that Schwarzenegger apparently missed.
Highways, dams, levees and aqueducts require prodigious amounts of concrete, whose central ingredient is cement. Cement is manufactured by superheating limestone to produce "clinker," which is about two-thirds of the rock's original weight. The missing third is carbon dioxide.
Lots of carbon dioxide. In fact, cement production is the third-biggest contributor of greenhouse gases in all human activity, ranking only behind internal combustion and deforestation.
And now the farce begins. Schwarzenegger's AB 32 declares carbon dioxide to be the premier environmental hazard of our era. California's Environmental Quality Act requires that any project that degrades the environment must include plans to mitigate that damage.
Last month, Attorney General Jerry Brown used AB 32 to sue San Bernardino County and threaten San Joaquin County on the grounds that their transportation plans fail to explain how they intend to construct or operate highways without increasing carbon-dioxide emissions. In short, the counties cannot proceed with construction until they can demonstrate that highways can be built without earthmovers or concrete and that, once completed, no one will use them.
Brown has suggested that the counties rethink their plans for highway construction and shift the money into mass transit, bus, bicycle and pedestrian projects instead. It's a good bet that's where most of the highway bonds will end up.
The remaining funds for dams, levees, aqueducts, schools and housing will no doubt be sidetracked into similar new-age boondoggles. Legislative plans are already afoot to divert money from Proposition 84 (the water and flood-control bond measure).
This is Jerry Brown's dream come true. As governor in the 1970s, Brown canceled aggressive public-works plans, condemning our generation to shortages of highway capacity, water, electricity and housing.
But he's legally correct. By signing AB 32, Schwarzenegger has turned his promise of a public-works renaissance into a very expensive hoax. CRO
Mr. McClintock is an expert on matters of the State budget and fiscal discipline. He is a Senator in the California State Legislature and ran for Governor in the 2003 recall election. His valuable website is found at www.tommclintock.com

Off Topic - New Rules: Bill Maher has to stop telling conservatives when they can or cannot roll their eyes.
New Rules: Bill Maher has to stop telling conservatives when they can or cannot roll their eyes. By Dennis E. Keizer
May 8, 2007
Last Friday HBO's Bill Maher gave us "his take" on why France is so good and America is so bad. One only needs to examine the transcript to see how much envy Mr. Bill has for France...
TRANSCRIPT SOURCE: Home Box Office
New Rule: Conservatives have to stop rolling their eyes every time they hear the word, "France." Like just calling something "French" is the ultimate argument winner. As if to say, "What can you say about a country that was too stupid to get on board with our wonderfully-conceived and brilliantly-executed war in Iraq?"
What I can say, is that maybe the socialist government didn't feel it was in the best interest of France to "get on board" with the war in Iraq. Nothing wrong with that. Maybe they did it for economic reasons. Maybe they were afraid of what the reaction from their relatively large Muslim population might be.
And, yet, an American politician could not survive if he uttered the simple, true statement, "France has a better health care system than we do, and we should steal it." Because here, simply dismissing an idea as French passes for an argument. "John Kerry? Couldn't vote for him; he looked French." Yeah, as opposed to the other guy who just looked stupid.
That's because most American politicians know that the American people aren't as stupid as leftist elites like Maher think they are. American voters understand that the French health care system comes with a high price. Taxes. We have a similar system to the north. Yet many Canadians who can afford their own medical care, come to the U.S. to get it. If socialized medicine was so good...well. As far as John Kerry goes, he lost because he looks to much like Herman Munster. Too Transylvanian, not too French.
Now, last week, France had an election, and people over there approach an election differently. They vote. Eighty-five percent of them turned out. You couldn't get 85% of Americans to get off the couch if there was an election between "Tits" and "Bigger Tits," and they were handing out free samples!
Maybe the reason the voter turnout in the US is so low is because the American voters feel frustrated by both the left and the right. Maybe they feel like their vote doesn't matter any more. Maybe they know that both parties are controlled by special interest lobbies with deep pockets like George Soros and Rupert Murdock. Maybe they fear higher taxes from the extreme left. Maybe they fear corporate greed from the right. Maybe they're afraid to elect Democrats because the ones they have elected are more afraid of a mythical CO2 Boogey-Man that might kill us in a thousand years, than they are Muslim extremists that might kill us tomorrow. Maybe they're afraid to elect Republicans because the ones they have elected are spending like drunken sailors, not conservatives.
Now, maybe the high turnout has something to do with the fact that the French candidates are never asked where they stand on evolution, prayer in school, abortion, stem cell research or gay marriage. And if the candidate knows about a character in a book other than Jesus, it's not a drawback.
Ah, so maybe if Americans don't ask our candidates any questions on issues that the left considers "settled", we'll have a higher turnout; right.
The electorate doesn't vote for the guy they want to have a croissant with; nor do they care about private lives. In the current race, Ségolène Royal has four kids, but she never got married. And she's a Socialist. In America, if a Democrat even thinks you're calling him "liberal," he grabs an orange vest and a rifle and heads into the woods to kill something!
Rather than debate this point, I simply wonder why Democrats are afraid of words like "liberal" and "socialist". Most Republicans I know are proud to be called "conservatives" or "federalists". In fact, during the Republican Presidential Debate last week, the candidates were all striving to be perceived as the most "conservative".
Madame Royal's opponent is married, but they live apart and lead separate lives. And the people are okay with that for the same reason they're okay with nude beaches; because they're not a nation of six-year-olds who scream and giggle if they see pee-pee parts!
Married but lead separate lives? Like the Clintons? Well, we elected both of them, didn't we? As far as nude beaches are concerned, I think most people are OK with them. And as long as we don't allow six-year-olds on them, the Hollywood perverts on the left won't have anything to giggle at.
They have weird ideas about privacy. They think it should be private. In France, even the mistresses have mistresses. To not have a lady on the side says to the voters, "I'm no good at multi-tasking."
Privacy? A term redefined by the U.S. Supreme Court. Privacy is good in America too, but not when it's used by radical judges to legislate from the bench. We have mistresses in America too. We just prefer to marry them.
Now, like any country, France has its faults, like all that ridiculous accordion music.
Have to agree there, but at least it's not as bad as Hip-Hop.
But, their health care is the best in the industrialized world.
For what the French pay in taxes, it damn well better be!
As is their poverty rate .
That depends on what you call poverty. Their unemployment rate is twice that of the U.S.
And they're completely independent of Mid East oil. And they're the greenest country.
That's because they use Nuclear Power. And so would we if the liberals here in U.S. would let us!
And they're not fat. And they have public intellectuals in France. We have Dr. Phil!
They have public idiots too. And we have Rosie.
They invented sex during the day, lingerie and the tongue. Can't we admit we could learn something from them?
True, but we invented soap on a rope and the electric razor and fortunately, our girls know how to use them.
So, from now on, all you high-ranking Bush Administration officials, because the French are righter than you on most things, when France comes up in conversation, you are not allowed to roll your eyes. The only time you get to do that is when your hooker from Ms. Julia is blowing you.
Most things huh? The only place where the French are righter than us, is on a map. But they did elect conservative Nicolas Sarkozy over socialist Segolene Royal, so at least they're moving in the "right" direction. This American applauds their decision. America wishes their new French leader the best, and looks forward to a renewed French-American friendship. Viva la France!

George Soros backed Media Matters launches Global warming Spin Machine in an attempt to discredit skeptics! - In a further attempt to stifle any opposing view on climate change, the liberal media watchdog group Media Matters has launched " Global Warming: Misinformation Action Center ".
Taken from their web page on May 2, 2007.
The media dialogue on global warming is infected with conservative misinformation. While consensus in the scientific community exists on the issue, too often pundits and journalists advance false, misleading, and baseless claims about the looming environmental crisis. Among the common conservative myths and falsehoods advanced in the media about global warming are unsubstantiated claims that human activity is not a substantial cause of global warming; Antarctic ice is increasing, not decreasing; former Vice President Al Gore is exaggerating; and carbon dioxide is not bad for the environment. Worse yet, over the past few years, coverage on the global warming issue has regularly:
Presented global warming skeptics without noting their relationships with the oil, gas, and coal industries.
Given global warming skeptics the same prominence as those within the large scientific consensus on the issue, thus elevating their opinions to a position nearly equal to those among the vast majority of experts.
Cited cold regional weather as evidence that global warming does not exist.
In an effort to stem the tide of conservative misinformation in global warming media coverage, Media Matters for America has embarked on a campaign to educate and inform members of the media and the American people with the facts. In the coming weeks and months, Media Matters will continue to monitor print, radio, broadcast, and Internet media and debunk these and other false global warming claims, so be sure to check back often and sign up for email updates and action alerts.

Now, let me give you my version:
The media dialogue on global warming is infected with liberal misinformation. While absolutely no consensus in the scientific community exists on the issue, too often pundits and journalists advance false, misleading, and baseless claims about the looming environmental crisis. Among the common alarmist myths and falsehoods advanced in the media about global warming are unsubstantiated claims that human activity is a substantial cause of global warming; Antarctic ice is decreasing, not increasing; former Vice President Al Gore is an expert on climate change; and carbon dioxide is bad for the environment. Worse yet, over the past few years, coverage on the global warming issue has regularly:
Attempted to discredit global warming skeptics by citing their relationships with the oil, gas, and coal industries, when in fact, many more billions of dollars are given to the alarmist scientist in the form of government grants.
Presented global warming alarmists without noting their relationships with the green tech industries, or environmental activist groups.
Given global warming alarmists a larger prominence in the media, so as to convince the public that a consensus exists within the scientific community, in an attempt to minimize skeptics as being outside mainstream scientific conclusions.
Cited examples of extreme weather as evidence that global warming exists.
In an effort to stem the tide of any opposing information in global warming media coverage, Media Matters for America has embarked on a campaign to misinform members of the media and the American people by presenting only the facts that support the opinion that "man is destroying the planet." In the coming weeks and months, Media Matters will continue to monitor print, radio, broadcast, and Internet media so that we can exaggerate and distort the facts as we see fit.

Global warming on trial
Sixth-graders decide that humans arent to blame
By Ben Ready
The Daily Times-Call
LONGMONT Humans dont cause global warming, a jury of sixth graders at Trail Ridge Middle School concluded Thursday after hearing opposing arguments from their peers.
Theyre pretty young for this kind of thinking. They did great, paleontology teacher Ken Poppe said after the 40-minute trial in his classroom.
With Earths warming accepted as a tenet, pre-teen lawyers and scientists debated whether humans have caused it.
Eleven jurors listened intently as prosecutors and defendants flashed contradictory graphs tracking global temperatures, carbon dioxide levels, polar ice cap statistics, volcanic activity and sea surface temperatures all of which were found Wednesday in the schools computer lab.
The earth has warmed and cooled over many years. If its caused by CO2, why havent the charts shot up? Poppes son and lead prosecutor Caleb argued during a rebuttal.
In a climax that sent half the class to its feet and forced the judge to call for order, opponent Monique Nem slapped a contradictory graph onto the prosecutions table.
Weve proven you wrong! The CO2 levels have shot up, she said.
The jury responded more warmly, however, to Caleb Poppes response: The graphic cited a Hawaiian source; Hawaii has volcanoes; volcanoes emit CO2.
In closing arguments, Alexia Hegy said global temperatures actually decreased in the 1960s, while the global population rose. Humans cannot be at fault, she concluded.
With the final word, defense attorney Sarah Steed countered: It all comes back to us, the people not the sun, not the weather. We need to turn off lights when we dont need them. Bikes can work. The environment can be richer.
Seven of 11 jurors decided humans are not to blame, but everyone agreed classroom debates make for fun learning.
It was a hard decision, because both sides made good points, said student Samantha Roberts.
Ken Poppe said he let students choose which side of the debate to argue. Poppe personally believes global warming is cyclical and not affected by humans, while his Colorado State University student aide David Richards believes the opposite. Both, however, said they presented both sides equally to the students leading up to Thursdays debate.
What I think is not the issue. Its what the students dig up and how they present the case, Poppe said.
Only one parent questioned Poppes decision to hold a global warming debate. That mother expected him to present Al Gores global warming movie An Inconvenient Truth as indisputable facts, Poppe said. After he explained his neutrality in the classroom, the mom allowed her child to participate in the debate, he said.
You dont understand someones position until you can argue it to their satisfaction, Poppe said, quoting a famous physicist. I dont believe in Darwinism either, but I can argue it as well as any Darwinist.

Yesterday, as Senator Barbara Boxer, one of the two mommies of our nations largest nanny state, was helping Al Gore filibuster Senator James Inhofe's time away in the show hearing, these two bubble heads gleefully reported with this video on CNN. First of all, it didn't start because Inhofe "wanted shorter answers" as reported, it was the result of Al Gore rambling on and ignoring Inhofe's questions. CNN, as well as the rest of the major news networks neglected to show the several minutes prior to this exchange where Al Gore incoherently babbled his non-responses to the Senator's questions, focusing only on this one-minute segment of Boxer scolding Inhofe. Notice how the "journalists" both get an editorial in at the very end of the video. Just some more good old non-biased reporting from CNN. If anyone knows who these "anchors" are please let me know in the blog. Also, if anyone has a complete video of this exchange, please post it here.

by Andrew Marshall
Global Research , March 15, 2007
Recently, a documentary aired on the UKs Channel 4, entitled The Great Global Warming Swindle, which challenged the prevailing political understanding that global warming is caused by man-made activity. The movie argues that it is in fact the sun that is responsible for the current changes in the Earths temperature and the film is riddled with the testimony of many scientists and climate experts, furthering a growing dissent to the man-made theory. After all, thats all it is, a theory. As soon as people start to state that the debate is over, beware, because the fundamental basis of all sciences is that debate is never over, that questions must be asked and answered and issues raised in order for the science to be accurate. So what exactly are the arguments behind the Sun being the main cause of global warming?
First off, it is very important to address the fact that Earth is not the only planet to be experiencing climate change in our solar system currently. In fact, many astronomers have announced that Pluto has been experiencing global warming, and suggested that it is a seasonal event, just like how Earths seasons change as the various hemispheres alter their inclination to the Sun. We must remember that it is the Sun that determines our seasons, and thusly has a greater impact upon the climate than we could ever even try to achieve. In May of 2006, a report came forward revealing that a massive hurricane-like storm that occurred on Jupiter may be caused by climate change occurring on the planet, which is expected to raise its temperatures by 10 degrees. National Geographic News reported that a simultaneous rising in temperature on both Mars and Earth suggest that climate change is indeed a natural phenomenon as opposed to being man-made. The report further explains how NASA has reported that Mars carbon dioxide ice caps have been melting for a few years now. Sound familiar? An astronomical observatory in Russia declared that, the Mars data is evidence that the current global warming on Earth is being caused by changes in the sun. They further point out that both Mars and Earth have, throughout their histories, experienced periodic ice ages as climate changes in a continuous fashion. NASA has also been observing massive storms on Saturn , which indicate a climate change occurring on that planet as well. NASAs Hubble Space Telescope has also been recording massive climate changes on Neptunes largest moon , Triton. Triton, whose surface was once made up of frozen nitrogen, is now turning into gas. The Associated Press has reported that satellites that measure the temperature of sunlight have been recording an increase in the suns temperature , meaning that the sun itself is warming up. Even the London Telegraph reported in 2004 that global warming was due to the sun being hotter than it has ever been in the past 1,000 years. They cited this information from research conducted by German and Swiss scientists who claim that it is increasing radiation from the sun that is resulting in our current climate change.
Claude Allegre, a leading French scientist, who was among the first scientists to try to warn people of the dangers of global warming 20 years ago, now believes that increasing evidence indicates that most of the warming comes of natural phenomena . Allegre said, There is no basis for saying, as most do, that the "science is settled." He is convinced that global warming is a natural change and sees the threat of the great dangers that it supposedly poses as being bloated and highly exaggerated. Also recently, the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus said, when discussing the recent ruling by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), that global warming is man-made, Global warming is a false myth and every serious person and scientist says so. It is not fair to refer to the U.N. panel. IPCC is not a scientific institution: it's a political body, a sort of non-government organization of green flavor. It's neither a forum of neutral scientists nor a balanced group of scientists. These people are politicized scientists who arrive there with a one-sided opinion and a one-sided assignment. And if you are about to ask why no politicians here seem to be saying this, Klaus offered up an answer, Other top-level politicians do not express their global warming doubts because a whip of political correctness strangles their voice. Nigel Calder, the former editor of New Scientist, wrote an article in the UK Sunday Times, in which he stated, When politicians and journalists declare that the science of global warming is settled, they show a regrettable ignorance about how science works. He further stated that, Twenty years ago, climate research became politicised in favour of one particular hypothesis. And in reference to how the media is representing those who dissent from the man-made theory he stated, they often imagine that anyone who doubts the hypothesis of man-made global warming must be in the pay of the oil companies, which is exactly what I believed up until I did my research. He also wrote, Enthusiasm for the global-warming scare also ensures that heatwaves make headlines, while contrary symptoms, such as this winters billion-dollar loss of Californian crops to unusual frost, are relegated to the business pages.
For those who saw Al Gores documentary, it was very convincing of its hypothesis that global warming is a man-made phenomenon that has the potential to kill us all and end humanity. After all, the film was filled with graphs and charts, so it must be true. Lets just get something straight here, Al Gore is not a climatologist, meteorologist, astronomer, or scientist of any kind; he is a politician. And as we all know, politicians always tell the truth. However, as Al Gores popularity grows and with his recent winning of an Academy Award for his movie, the issue has spiraled into massive push for quick action and stifled debate, forcing many scientists to speak out and challenge the political status quo. A group of scientists recently stated that the research behind Al Gores film and in fact, the concept of greenhouse gases causing global warming, is a sham. They claim that in fact, there is very little evidence to prove that theory, and that the evidence actually points to an increase in solar activity being the cause of climate change. In Gores movie, he presented evidence that was found in the research done on ice core samples from Antarctica, which he claimed is proof for the theory of CO2 being the cause of rising temperatures. However, this group of scientists state that warmer periods of the Earth's history came around 800 years before rises in carbon dioxide levels, meaning that a rise in Carbon Dioxide follows a rise in temperature, rather than increasing temperature following rising CO2 emissions. And not only that, but it follows behind the rise in temperature by about 800 years. The group also mentions that, after the Second World War, there was a huge surge in carbon dioxide emissions, yet global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940. They also claim that the report given by the UN, which said it was backed by over 2,000 of the worlds leading scientists, was a sham given that this list included the names of scientists who disagreed with its findings.
Timothy Ball, one of the first Canadian doctors in climatology, recently wrote an article addressing the issue of why no one seems to be listening to scientists who claim that global warming is NOT man-made . He starts by writing, Believe it or not, Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). This in fact is the greatest deception in the history of science. He continues, We are wasting time, energy and trillions of dollars while creating unnecessary fear and consternation over an issue with no scientific justification. Then he mentions how Environment Canada is spending billions upon billions of dollars on propaganda which defends an indefensible scientific position while at the same time closing weather stations and failing to meet legislated pollution targets. Then Dr. Ball brings up a very interesting point that everyone should take into consideration, citing that 30 years ago, in the 1970s everyone was talking about global cooling and how it was the defining issue of our lives, our species, that our very survival depended on what we did it about it. Interesting, sounds like every Canadian politician. Ball continues to explain that climate change is occurring, but that it is because it is always occurring, it is a natural change that is a result of the changes in the Suns temperature. He explains that we are currently leaving what was known as a Little Ice Age and that the history of Earth is riddles with changes in the climate. Thats what climate does and is always doing, changing. Dr. Ball claims that there is nothing unusual going on, and that he was as opposed to the threats of impending doom global cooling engendered as [he was] to the threats made about Global Warming.
Dr. Timothy Ball later wrote, in commenting on the problems that arise for scientists who speak out, that, Sadly, my experience is that universities are the most dogmatic and oppressive places in our society. This becomes progressively worse as they receive more and more funding from governments that demand a particular viewpoint. He also mentions how he was accused by Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki of being paid by oil companies. He concludes in referencing others who have and continue to speak out against the prevailing myth of man-made global warming, such as author Michael Crichton, whos book, State of Fear, explains the inaccurate science behind the man-made myth. Another prominent name is that of Richard Lindzen, an atmospheric physicist and a professor of meteorology at MIT, who often speaks out against the man-made theory, yet no one seems to be listening to him.
An article in the February 12th Washington Times discussed how skeptics of global warming are treated like a pariah. The article begins, Scientists skeptical of climate-change theories say they are increasingly coming under attack -- treatment that may make other analysts less likely to present contrarian views about global warming. He cites an example of this by mentioning how a climatologist in Oregon might be stripped of his position by the governor for speaking out against the origins of climate change. Most skeptics dont claim that climate change is not occurring, they just disagree with what is causing it, and yet they are treated like traitors. A NASA funded study in 2003 found that, Changes in the solar cycle -- and solar output -- are known to cause short-term climate change on Earth.
In a storm of scientists speaking out against Al Gores movie, an Australian professor of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory has publicly stated, "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention." In response to the use of images in Gores movie of glaciers breaking off, Dr. Boris Winterhalter, a professor on marine geology and former marine researcher at the Geological Survey of Finland, said that, The breaking glacier wall is a normally occurring phenomenon which is due to the normal advance of a glacier. Makes sense, especially since history tells us that glaciers move, after all, thats what helped form our valleys and reshaped mountain ranges at the end of the last ice age about 10,000 years ago. Maybe my memory isnt very good, but I dont think people were driving SUVs 10,000 years ago. Another clever use of images to manipulate facts that Gore has in his movie is that of a polar bear seemingly stranded on a piece of a broken off ice berg, stating that polar bears are becoming extinct because of global warming. However, there are a few things wrong with this assessment, first of all, that according to a paper published by University of Alaska professor Igor Polyakov , the region of the Arctic where rising temperature is supposedly endangering polar bears showed fluctuations since 1940 but no overall temperature rise. Secondly, if the polar bear is in such danger according to Al Gore, then why does a recent government survey in Canada show that they are not declining , but rather rising in numbers? Thirdly, the very idea of a polar bear stranded on a small block of ice is in itself misleading for Gores argument, as polar bears are excellent swimmers and according to Sea World, They can swim for several hours at a time over long distances [and] they've been tracked swimming continuously for 100 km (62 mi.) Professor Carter, speaking about Gore and his personal crusade, said, The man is an embarrassment to US science and its many fine practitioners, a lot of whom know (but feel unable to state publicly) that his propaganda crusade is mostly based on junk science. Even if Al Gore was telling the truth about the causes of global warming, or climate change, which most evidence points to the fact that he is not, but even if he was, he would still be a hypocrite. It was recently revealed that Al Gore doesnt exactly practice what he preaches, such as what he said in his Academy Award acceptance speech , People all over the world, we need to solve the climate crisis. It's not a political issue; it's a moral issue. Well, in that case, why is it that a recent study by the Tennessee Center for Policy Research found that one of Al Gores mansions uses 20 times the amount of electricity that the average American does. It was also reported that Al Gore consumes twice as much the electricity in one month that the average American consumes in one year.
In examining that there is more evidence to prove the basis for a conclusion that changes in climate are more related to an increase in the temperature of the Sun rather than influence of people, we must examine why efforts to expose this myth are stifled and those who speak out are attacked. In fact, there are reported cases of scientists who speak out against the man-made theory as having received death threats . There has even been talk of relating those who speak out against the currently held theory on global warming as being equal to those who deny the Holocaust. In a recent op-ed piece in the Boston Globe commenting on the report issued by the UN, Ellen Goodman wrote , Let's just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers, though one denies the past and the other denies the present and future. This is a very disturbing comment, not only because there is reason to scientifically doubt the man-made theory, but also because this is a scathing attack on freedom of speech, the most vital and important of all rights and freedoms.
With the UN Panels judgment in, western politicians are quick to declare that the debate is over, and action must be taken immediately. What is this action that they are planning on taking? The Chancellor of the Exchequer in the UK, Gordon Brown, soon expected to be the next Prime Minister after Tony Blair steps down, has publicly called for a new world order to combat the threat of climate change. So lets have a look at this New World Order thats being implemented to combat the threat of global warming. One major thing being pushed through with little, cancel that, no debate, is a UN recommendation that we impose a global tax on greenhouse gas emissions. Most people will hear this and think, Good, polluters need to be taxed. Well, this means people who drive cars will be taxed, because according to Al Gore, when you drive your car, youre causing global warming. This is no joke, as an article in the UKs Guardian Newspaper reported that, The government is throwing its weight behind a revolutionary plan that would force motorists to pay £1.30 a mile to drive on Britain's busiest roads. That is approximately $3.00 per mile. A study conducted by an expert in transportation and infrastructure found that, a Birmingham commuter might end up paying about £1,500 a year for driving 19,000 miles. Thats equal to about $3,000 per year. I dont know about you, but I dont know many people who can afford that. In the European Union, plans are being made to impose an increase of taxes on diesel. The European Commission recently proposed to raise the minimum tax on commercial diesel fuel by nearly 20% over the next seven years. This, they claim, is to help protect the environment because it will act as a deterrent for people to drive. This is just excellent news, because as anyone who has driven in the past two years knows, gas prices are just too low. Another concern arising out of the concept of taxing people for how far they drive is how it is done. According to the Transport Secretary in the UK, Every vehicle would have a black box to allow a satellite system to track their journey. This has been raising concerns in the UK of an increase in Big Brother technology and government programs. Proposals currently being made in Canada recommend that, Canadians would pay an extra 10 cents per litre at the gas pumps, mirroring plans in the European Union. Another important recent news item is that Toronto Mayor David Miller said yesterday he would support region-wide road tolls , to combat climate change.
The European Union is also imposing a ban on conventional light bulbs , replacing them with energy-saving bulbs. That ban would fully be in effect within two years, forcing all 490 million citizens of the EUs member states to switch from the current conventional lights they now have. However, some problems of this plan have been raised considering that the supposed energy-efficient light bulbs have to be left on all the time, they're made from banned toxins and they won't work in half your household fittings. Yet Europe (and Gordon Brown) says 'green' lightbulbs must replace all our old ones. They also are up to 20 times more expensive than conventional light bulbs. They also give off a much harsher light and do not produce a steady stream of light but rather just flicker 50 times a second. These special efficient light bulbs also need more ventilation than conventional bulbs, which means that they cannot be in an enclosed light fitting. Im sure that this wont inconvenience any of the 490 million who are being forced to switch. In Canada, talk is taking place of having a ban on conventional light bulbs being included in Stephen Harpers clean air act. This discussion was recently brought about by the act of Australia taking moves to ban conventional light bulbs by the year 2010. As well as that, a lawmaker in California has introduced a bill to ban the selling of conventional bulbs by 2012, with a similar bill also being introduced in New Jersey. Royal Phillips Electronics, one of the leading corporations in producing light fixtures announced that they would stop selling conventional bulbs by 2016. This will result in a massive cost to the consumer, who is losing their free will in where they spend their money and how they choose to help the environment. Hoping to get by without buying new bulbs and sneak it by the government? Good luck. As a recent report pointed out in the UK, the government has very intrusive plans to make the UK the worlds first green economy. Part of this plan is that every home in the UK is to be carbon neutral within 10 years, making every house updated to green standards. The government said they would provide the renovators, which has led many to fear that it is a method of spying on homeowners to make sure they go green . Blair Gibbs, a member of the Taxpayers Alliance and critic of the plan stated, It's bad enough that politicians want to take so much of our money away in tax. For them also to intrude into our homes in order to have the ability to penalise us even further is simply unacceptable.
I am not saying that it isnt a good idea to take action to help the environment, but I ask you to consider this: if the majority of scientific data points to the fact that global warming is caused by the Sun, then how will a tax on carbon emissions help to stop it? How does us driving cars cause climate change on Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, Neptune and Triton? Can Al Gore please fill me in on this? If CO2 increases as a RESULT of temperature increases, then how can we hope to accomplish anything by taxing emissions? Thats like saying we will prevent the process of humans ageing by dying their grey hairs. Its not grey hair that causes people to age; its ageing that causes grey hair. And nothing that you do to your hair will have any affect on how long you live. Especially since ageing is a natural process that cannot be stopped and has always occurred and will always occur. Just like climate change.
It seems worrisome that politicians are all too eager to grab onto this man-made myth of global warming in order to make us afraid and guilty. Guilty enough to want to change it, and afraid enough to give up our freedoms and undergo massive financial expenses in order to do so. So this lie, being pushed by big money and big governments, is a convenient lie for those who want to exert control and collect money. However, its inconvenient for the mass amount of people who are already experiencing the problems of a widening wage-gap and fading middle class.
If the problems we are being presented are based on lies, then how do we expect to find any true solution to helping the environment? A Global Tax wont clean up the oil spilled by the Exxon Valdez, which is still polluting waters in Alaska nearly 18 years after the spill occurred. A Global Tax wont stop Shell from making the Niger Delta the most endangered Delta in the whole world. No, we have to first be realistic, mature, and have debate about the problems we are facing, and then, and only then, can we even hope to achieve any sort of solution.

The socialist agenda of the global warming alarmist community is showing signs of success, even here in the United States. According to a world wide poll taken by The Chicago Council on Global Affairs in conjunction with World Public Opinion-dot-org , 43% of Americans surveyed believe that global warming is a "serious and pressing problem" and that we should "begin taking steps now even if this involves significant costs." An additional 37% of Americans said that "the problem of global warming should be addressed, but it's effects will be gradual, so we can deal with the problem gradually by taking steps that are low in cost." That means that 80% of the Americans polled think global warming needs to be dealt with.
Even more troubling, is is the way Americans answered the fourth question of the poll:
"Q4. If the less-developed countries make a commitment to limit their greenhouse gas emissions, do you think the developed countries should provide substantial aid to help them?"
A whopping 64% of Americans are willing to "provide substantial aid to less-developed countries" in order to stave off the CO2 Boogie Man.
The poll of 17 countries includes China, India, the United States, Indonesia, Russia, Thailand, Ukraine, Poland, Iran, Mexico, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, Argentina, Peru, Israel, Armeniaand the Palestinian territories. Palestinian territories? Iran? Really?
The sixth and final question asked:
"Q6. Overall, do you think that countries that are part of international trade agreements should or should not be required to maintain minimum standards for protection of the environment?"
91% of Americans said that countries "should be required" to maintain minimum standards for protection of the environment. Viva la socialism!

Just when you thought it can't possibly get any more absurd, the Associated Press is reporting that NASA is reading a report a report reviewing suggestions on how to slow down global warming. One NASA scientist describes some of these proposals as ranging from "great" to "idiotic."
Some of the more bizzare proposals include...
The Giant Sun Shade:
Launching an enormous fleet of small spaceships into orbit to form a giant umbrella in an effort to reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth.
The Man-Made Volcano:
Some scientists suggest simulating volcanic eruptions by using cannons, balloons or jet engines to launch sulfate particles into the atmosphere.
Iron Supplements:
According to the AP article , one company in California is already implementing the "Geritol" solution by dumping tons of iron dust into the ocean, to encourage massive algae bloom that will absorb carbon dioxide.

The following articles pegged the bullshit meter all the way off the scale. For the purpose of this topic only, this thread reads from top to bottom, the most recent articles at the bottom. Scroll down for the latest update:
Climate scientist 'duped to deny global warming' - Ben Goldacre and David Adam, yes David Adam, Environmental Corespondent for the Guardian, the same David Adam that blogged his comments on the program without even watching it first! (03/10/07)
Climate change: An inconvenient truth... for C4 - This expert in oceanography quoted in last week's debunking of the Gore green theory says he was "seriously misrepresented" - By Geoffrey Lean, Environment Editor (03/10/07)
Less than 48 hours after this controversial new documentary challenging some of the assertions that man made CO2 is causing global warming aired on British TV, one of it's participants is claiming that his views were "grossly distorted" by the film. Professor Carl Wunch of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology continued to say that not only was he "totally misled" and "completely misrepresented" but also that the film was "as close to pure propaganda as anything since World War II."
According to Independent , Professor Wunsch also said...
Professor Wunsch:
"I am angry because they completely misrepresented me. My views were distorted by the context in which they placed them. I was misled as to what it was going to be about. I was told about six months ago that this was to be a program about how complicated it is to understand what is going on. If they had told me even the title of the program, I would have absolutely refused to be on it. I am the one who has been swindled".
The Professor went on to say that he believes it is
Professor Wunsch:
"an almost inescapable conclusion that if man adds excess CO2 to the atmosphere, the climate will warm".
After viewing these comments by the professor only hours after watching the program, I was shocked. I decided to go back and analyze the scenes in which the good professor appeared, and see if I could possibly imagine a "context" in which the actual words uttered by Professor Wunsch would have had a significantly different meaning. I could not. Maybe you can. I have printed the Professor's words as they appeared in the film, and the time at which they appeared. The film is currently available on Google Video but I don't know how long it will be there.
In this portion of the discussion, Professor Wunsch begins by explaining how the ocean's surface temperature plays a role in the exchange of carbon dioxide. He later comments on the vastness of the oceans, and their extremely slow reaction to any changes in climate as a result of such vastness.
Professor Wunsch:
25:43 The ocean is the major reservoir into which carbon dioxide goes when it comes out of the atmosphere or to from which it is re-emitted to the the atmosphere. If you heat the surface of the ocean, it tends to emit carbon dioxide. Similarly, if you cool the ocean surface, the ocean can dissolve more carbon dioxide.
Professor Wunsch:
26:44 - The ocean has a memory of past events ugh running out as far as 10,000 years. So for example, if somebody says oh I'm seeing changes in the North Atlantic, this must mean that the climate system is changing, it may only mean that something happened in a remote part of the ocean decades or hundreds of years ago who's effects are now beginning to show up in the North Atlantic.
In this portion of the film, the professor is speaking about the complexity of climate models and how their results can be greatly influenced by the input data they are given.
Professor Wunsch:
49:22 - The models are so complicated, you can often adjust them is such a way that they do something very exciting.
Professor Wunsch:
50:46 - Even within the scientific community you see, it's a problem. If I run a complicated model and I do something to it like ugh melt a lot of ice into the ocean and nothing happens, ugh it's not likely to get printed. But if I run the same model, and I adjust it in such a way that something dramatic happens to the ocean circulation like the heat transport turns off, ugh it will be published. People will say this is very exciting. It will even get picked by the media. So there is a bias, there's is a very powerful bias within the media, and within the science community itself, toward results which are ugh dramatizable. If Earth freezes over, that's a much more interesting story than saying well you know it ugh fluctuates around, sometimes the mass flux goes up by 10%, sometimes it goes down by 20%, but eventually it comes back. Well you know, which would you do a story on? That's what it's about.
I've watched this video several times now and I can't believe the comments made in the film, and those in the above mentioned articles came from the same man. In my opinion, the Professor's words speak for themselves. I don't see how they could mean anything other than what they mean.
And speaking of bullshit...below is a great article by Alek Boyd, editor and founder of vcrisis.com.
The Great Global Warming Swindle - By Alek Boyd - One of the added benefits of having read Geology is that one can easily tell apart the bullshit from the science when it comes to earth's matters. (03/10/07)
To be fair, here is the actual letter from Carl Wunsch to WAG TV - (03/10/07)
In doing some further research on Professor Wunsch, I found this article from March of 2006. In it Professor Wunsch begins...
Professor Wunsch:
People ask "is it clear that human activity is directly responsible for climate change?" The context for answering this question must be another question: to what extent can the climate change all by itself? The answer to the alternative question is: "a very great deal."
He also states...
Professor Wunsch:
"we know that it (climate) is capable of remarkable changes without human intervention."
Finally, he closes with...
Professor Wunsch:
"it is essential to remember that the inability to prove human-induced change is not the same thing as a demonstration of its absence. It is probably true that most scientists would assign a very high probability that human-induced change is already strongly present in the climate system, while at the same time agreeing that clear-cut proof is not now available and may not be available for a long-time to come, if ever. Public policy has to be made on the basis of probabilities, not firm proof."
First, I reccomend you read the entire article for the full context of Professor Wunch's remarks.
I think this last paragraph is very telling. I don't think I'm very comfortable with making policies based on probabilities. If we were to do so, what percentage of probabilities are we to make such policies based on? 90%? 70%? 50%? 25%? Precisely what percentage constitutes a probability? Should we only require 50% compliance with a policy that was enacted based on a 50% probability. Now I'm really confused. I think this mind set of the "let's do something now" crowd that disturbs me the most about this issue.
I also found this summary below. The Professor's summary is reprinted in it's entirety. Pay particularly close attention to the last two sentences:
Professor Wunsch:
Summary of Abrupt Climate Change: An Alternative View by Carl Wunsch (2006) - A Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) event is a rapid climate fluctuation, taking place at the end of the Ice Age. Twenty-three such events have been identified between 110,000 and 23,000 years before present. A widely held view of abrupt climate change during the last glacial period is that these D-O events are at least hemispheric, if not global and caused by changes in ocean circulation. It has been hypothesized that there may be abrupt climate change similar to a D-O event because of ongoing global warming and its oceanic affects. Underlying the major conclusions about D-O events and abrupt climate change there are several assumptions, including (1) the 18Oxygen variations appearing in ice cores are viable as a proxy, (2) climate fluctuations in Greenland reflect those on a hemispheric or global basis, (3) the cause of D-O events can be traced to major changes of the North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and perhaps failure of the Gulf Stream, and (4) apparent detection of a D-O event at a remote location in a proxy implies local climatic importance. In this article Wunsch reexamines these assumptions in order to assess their relevance, specifically focusing on (2) and (3). In terms of using 18Oxygen in the Greenland ice cores as a climate proxy, Wunsch found that although is was relatively accurate for central Greenland, when aligned with other locations a visual similarity would appear on the spectral graph, but that there was actually little statistical correlation; this occurred when comparing time periods of less than 900 years. While this does not disprove the hypothesis of a large impact of the D-O events, it cannot be used to support this assumption. There are three possible explanations for the disappearance of covariance for these periods less than 900 years. First, although both records have wide variability, it is primarily regional in character and there is no simple relationship between them. Second, the age-model (the calibration of age versus depth in the core) error has a larger influence on the short period variations than the long period ones. Third, different physical processes dominate the proxies at high frequency in the two separate locations, but they have roughly similar low spectral moments. Any of these factors could affect the lack of covariance between geographical locations. Subsequently, the assumption that there exist large-scale hemispheric correlations with the D-O events is neither proven nor disproven. The heat flux associated with meridional overturning (the sinking and spreading of cold water and dispersion of heat) of the ocean has the most direct impact on the atmosphere in terms of oceanic circulation patterns. The contribution of the oceanic Northern Hemisphere to this pole-ward circulation falls very rapidly as heat is transferred to the atmosphere. At the 40th latitude North, the oceanic contribution is less than 25% of the atmospheric contribution. Hypothetically, if warming continues, and the Northern Atlantic is injected with fresh water from glacial melting, the meridional overturning circulation would be dramatically reduced, resulting in a D-O-like event. However, models attempting to construct this theoretical climate change have not been successful, mostly in that they have not taken into account the overlying wind field response to this event. Since much of the temperature flux of the North Atlantic is carried in the Gulf Stream, scenarios requiring wind shifts sufficient to shut it down are likely a physical impossibility because of the need to conserve angular momentum in the atmosphere. 90 Coupled models that have been claimed to show an atmospheric response to oceanic flux shifts are so simplified and lack adequate resolution that they cannot be skillfully integrated over the time periods required to describe true climatic time scales. Again, these models are only indicators of processes that can be operating but with no evidence that they dominate. While the abrupt climate changes in Greenland may not have occurred in other parts of the globe, there still is the question of why it occurred in Greenland. One apparent observation is that the D-O events ceased in the Holocene and have been remarkably placid since. As such, the operative mechanism causing the D-O events must have also disappeared. The answer is the disappearance of the Laurentide and Fennoscandian ice sheets. Two enormous mountain ranges of high albedo (reflection factor) were removed. In a study by Jackson (2000), he noted that small, regional changes in the ice sheet elevations had a large effect on the atmospheric stationary wave patterns. As a standing wave, the wind encountering the ice sheets had more than one equilibrium state. Major local climate change could appear with a slight shift in the wave pattern of the wind system. While the model for this hypothesis is rough, other studies have indicated great influence of the ice sheets on atmospheric scales as well. The body of these theories suggests that the most important and sensitive determinant of oceanic circulation is wind, and not the temperature flux. Similarly, the widely accepted view that D-O events were of global impact and may occur as a result of recent warming is based on four assumptions, which in turn are based on ambiguous data and a high degree of uncertainty. As such, to make conclusions about such events would be imprudent without first addressing the uncertainties in the age-model as well a cautious reinterpretation of proxy signals.
So I guess from this summary, probability lies somewhere between 0% and 100%. Now I get it! The sky is falling...maybe.

Is consulting a tarot reader in Grafton, WI or a medium necessary for you?
Among the techniques of divinatory art, we find tarology, numerology, astrology or cartomancy. Indeed, tarology is a divination technique that includes cartomancy. In fact, I use tarot cards.
For example, to make predictions according to the symbol of the tarot cards, I can use the tarot of Marseille. However, it is important to know that the tarot is not only used to make predictions, because I can also use them to give you a more precise view of the events or situations you are facing.

This is also the case with telephone contact, which allows you to save on travel costs, especially if you are not too fond of direct contact.
What is related to your birth date and life number in the field of numerology?
As I said so well in one of the paragraphs above, I also offer services in the field of astrology and numerology. So, it is important to know that in terms of numerology and astrology, your date of birth contains enigmas about who you really are.
In truth, the sum of all the numbers in your birth date represents your life path in a way. Indeed, there is a special energy that is linked to each number of your birth date symbolizing an ability that impacts your personal path.
Thus, by adding up the day, month and year of your birth, I will be able to show you the path that numerology gives you.
In a simple way, we can say that numerology is a divinatory art that is based on a deep study of numbers and letters. I have the ability to do the numerology of your date of birth and even of your first name. It is taking into account your date and your first name that numerology will be able to grant you a number included between 0 and 9. The number assigned will be the incarnation of a given vibration.

Even for questions related to numerology, you can contact me directly by phone, email or chat. I can also give you clarifications on the signs of the zodiac thanks to the decans and the ascendancy.
In truth, numerology can be broken down into several numbers. We can therefore find ourselves in the presence of an active number, an expression number, an intimate number or even a hereditary number.

I will be able to make a direct intervention and give you convincing results in record time. I offer clairvoyance and psychic services in Grafton giving you an opportunity to examine your knowledge from every angle.
What are the different forms of clairvoyance that I offer?
It is important for you to know that there is a strict disparity between a psychic and a medium. A psychic in Grafton is a person with a gift and the ability to see events in your past, present and future.
A psychic on the other hand is a person who has a singular assignment. His or her role is to act as an intermediary between you and a loved one who is no longer of this world. The majority of rational people will only turn to astrology and numerology services, while those who wish to make their own discovery through the cards will turn to a serious tarot medium reader in Appleton with a good mastery of tarology.
Nevertheless, you should be very careful not to trust psychics in Grafton who use practices such as witchcraft, divination, magic and negative energies. When you come across such people, be aware that they are not psychics, but rather charlatans.
Discover a psychic medium in Grafton with experience to give you excellent predictions
A good clairvoyant in Grafton can be recognized by the first consultations. She must be able to consult you without you being able to say a word about yourself. This is the only way you can be sure of the predictions she makes.
In fact, a psychic must have the ability to give you information about events in your past life, events in your present life and probably events in your future life.
If this is not the case, then I advise you to get out of here quickly. Personally, I make sure that the client in front of me is zen and really relaxed.
In the previous paragraphs, I have highlighted the sectors in which I can intervene. I have laid all this information bare so that my clients can really know the services I offer and my work technique.
As a rule, when you come to me for a consultation, I try to find out your birth year. This will allow me to do my work more efficiently.
I strongly advise against going to psychics who use techniques that are not healthy. There are in fact psychics who can predict your future with runes, ink stains and even coffee grounds.
All you need to know about free and low cost psychic packages
When you decide to call on an psychic in Grafton for help, she will offer you several packages. There are even packages that are totally free and you can also get advice from some professionals in the field.
However, it must be said that if you choose the formula yourself, the best thing would be that the formula can meet your needs. So, let's emphasize that in order to choose the formula that will suit you best, it will depend above all on the information that you will provide to the psychic.
I offer you free clairvoyance in Grafton by email
Just as you have noticed on other platforms, I offer you a consultation formula by email. This is a convenient alternative with almost the same effectiveness as face-to-face consultations.
In the case of contact by email, all you have to do is to set up a series of questions that you will send to me. After that, I will take a moment to give you some suggested answers to your concerns.
As a rule, my analysis is based on draws as well as a good understanding of the being you are materializing. There are some people who may use obscure techniques to give you quick answers.
The moment you feel ready for a paid consultation, stronger revelations will be made.
You can also reach me by SMS or phone in Grafton, WI
I also offer my clairvoyance services by SMS or by phone. After this free consultation, you will be led to opt for the paid formula to have access to more and more intense revelations.So through this first free consultation session, you will be able to make the judgment by yourself. When you contact me by email, the only difference is that after the free consultation, you will have to leave your bank details. I will then send you an invitation so that you can continue your experience.However, you have to be careful when you opt for the formula of contact by e-mail, because it is difficult to cancel this subscription as soon as you subscribe to it with some psychics.
Opinion of my medium services
My first phone experience
The truth is that I still haven't recovered from the incredible encounter I had with you. I realized with you that there were enough things I didn't know about my life that I really wasn't aware of. This has not only impacted my professional life, but also my romantic, friendly and professional relationships. By getting in touch with you, my life has really changed. I feel very lucky to have met you and now I have a better understanding of some aspects of my life. I am truly grateful for what you have done for me.
Very professional psychic
I contacted you by email for a trial and I absolutely do not regret my choice. I had been looking for a serious psychic for ages and many people had extorted money from me on several occasions. You have changed my perception of psychics with the gift you have and the accuracy of your predictions. This psychic has given me back my confidence and today I understand a lot more things. You are an exceptional person with incredible professionalism. Even though I had doubts at first, I finally gave in. I personally think you have a good grasp of the divinatory art and that is why I recommend you to others who are looking for a quality psychic. This psychic will predict perfectly all the events of your present and future life. I don't doubt her talents for a second, as I was satisfied beyond my expectations.
She has enlightened me about my life!
I met this psychic after reading an article on the net. I contacted her via chat and she gave me some insight into the problems that had been weighing on my life for years. I was looking for a professional tarot reader who would be able to read the events in my life and I found you. Beyond your sympathy, you have an incredible expertise and you have given me more strength to face the difficulties of every day. I am truly grateful for that.
Consultation more than success
For almost a decade, I have never been able to have a steady job. Doubt filled my life on a daily basis to the point that I no longer had confidence in myself. When I met you, I discovered the wonders of life and today I have more confidence in myself than ever. I'm not going to say much about my experience with this psychic, the only thing you have to do is make your own experience.
No more doubts, now I'm moving on
I can't thank you enough for what you have done in my life. Nature has endowed you with an incredible gift that you do not hesitate for a moment to put at the service of the most needy. I met you through a friend and I am very pleased with the work you have done in my life. In the past I had a totally negative idea about psychics, but thanks to you my opinion is no longer the same. You have solved most of the mysteries in my life and to this day I am living normally. Thank you so much for your work.
Very accurate in these predictions
Thank you for your precious time that you put at my disposal. When I came to you, I did not say anything until you made your prediction. I was speechless at the incredible revelations you made about my life without knowing me before.the accuracy of your predictions amazed me so much that I almost thought you were a family member. Thank you for your assistance and I recommend you to anyone looking for a psychic of good character with real gifts.

Features that can be used by anyone
Enfold Main Feature Overview
Enfold comes with a plethora of options so you can modify layout, styling, colors and fonts directly from within the backend.
A great Style generator
Easily build your own styles within your backend
The theme allows to build your own styles right out of the backend without any coding knowledge. Start your own color scheme by selecting one of the many predefined schemes.
Select from multiple predefined color schemes…
Build your own color schemes
Edit the styling of single elements with the advanced styling editor
Tons of elements to build your site
Canvas preview to build your layout
The Advanced Layout Builder
Build your own layouts
The Theme comes with a template builder that allows you to build any number of stunning layouts and apply them to your entries.
All you need to do is to drag and drop the elements into place until you have a page you like. If you want to re-use a template you can simply save it and apply it to other pages later on.
Free Updates & Support
Once purchased you get support and lifetime updates for the theme.
We are very dedicated to offer the best support experience possible and our track record shows that we do something right: Our support forum is a vibrant place to get support, offer feedback and help others.
Our dedicated support team usually answers all questions in less than a day (at least during weekdays 😉 )
More than 120.000 Threads answered show that we do care!
Click on one of the demo import buttons…
…and set up a whole site in less than a minute
Demo Content Import
One click setups made easy
For beginners it might be hard to set up a site the way our demos looks like.
The content import button does all of that for you and imports not only the content from our demo installation but also the settings (and for most of our demos also all images).
And of course there is more to explore.
Other noteworthy features are:
Layer Slider Plugin
The theme comes with the amazingly flexible layer-slider slideshow plugin, which allows you to create stunning 2d and 3d slideshows. PS: You dont need to purchase a 15$ licence for the layer-slider, this cost is already covered when you buy the theme 😉
Blog and Magazine Layouts
The theme comes with multiple Blog Layouts to cater to different purposes. Got multiple authors? Use a multi author layout. Like to display large images? The fullscreen layout without sidebar might be what you need 🙂
Mega Menu
If you got a big site with lots of sub menus we recommend using a mega menu. The feature is built right into the default WordPress Menu Builder and works without any extra effort.
Just set the checkbox to display a menu as mega menu and start adding columns and items.
Dozens of Header Layouts
Since everyone has different needs when it comes to headers we decided to pack a few different headers into the theme to make you all happy. So no matter if you have just a small menu for a small site or have an enormous site with hundreds of sub pages: our various headers got you covered. Same goes for social media links, submenus for magazin or shop pages, etc…
Icon Font Uploader
The theme ships with the Entypo Icon font. Almost all of those Icons can be selected for various elements, like buttons, tabs, iconlists etc
Using a iconfont instead of small images makes the theme faster (fewer requests to handle), more flexible (eg: you can apply colors to your icons) and allows for a more beautiful experience on smartphones and tablets, since they are scalable.
Our Iconfont Uploader also allows you to add new icons and iconfonts to use!
Sidebar Manager
Very simple to use and understand: our new sidebar manager.
On your widgets page simply add new areas and fill them with widgets. You can then select those widget areas when editing existing or writing new entries, and tell those entries to display those widget areas.
Instant Ajax Search
Helping your visitors find what they are looking for as fast as possible is an important task. WIth the help of our built in Ajax-Search the sie is searched as the user types and the theme delivers beautiful small previews…
And new ones with every update
