the greatest scam in history

The Amazing Story Behind the Global Warming Scam from John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel:

How did we ever get to this point where bad science is driving big government to punish the citizens for living the good life that fossil fuels provide for us?

Back in the 1960s, this global warming research came to the attention of a Canadian born United Nation's bureaucrat named Maurice Strong. He was looking for issues he could use to fulfill his dream of one-world government. Strong organized a World Earth Day event in Stockholm, Sweden in 1970. From this he developed a committee of scientists, environmentalists and political operatives from the UN to continue a series of meeting.

Strong developed the concept that the UN could demand payments from the advanced nations for the climatic damage from their burning of fossil fuels to benefit the underdeveloped nations, a sort of CO2 tax that would be the funding for his one-world government. But, he needed more scientific evidence to support his primary thesis. So Strong championed the establishment of the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This was not a pure climate study scientific organization, as we have been led to believe. It was an organization of one-world government UN bureaucrats, environmental activists and environmentalist scientists who craved the UN funding so they could produce the science they needed to stop the burning of fossil fuels. Over the last 25 years they have been very effective. Hundreds of scientific papers, four major international meetings and reams of news stories about climatic Armageddon later, the UN IPCC has made its points to the satisfaction of most and even shared a Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore.

Brussels fraud

The EU budget is rejected again, but people are past caring by Daniel Hannan:

So now we know: for the fourteenth consecutive year, the European Court of Auditors will refuse to sign off on the EU budget. The European Commission has flagged up the news early this year, perhaps hoping that it will get lost amid all the coverage of bank failures. It needn't have bothered. Brussels fraud has become a dog-bites-man story. No one cares any more.

public policy and promises

No more bogus debates about fictitious figures" from David Finkelstein:

Mr Osborne should not just say that he won't match Labour. He should issue a declaration of independence from the whole sorry mess that is the public spending debate. Such a declaration might help him to win. It would certainly help him to govern. And for the rest of us it would be a blessed relief.
