Smart Car = Stupid Car: Again!

They have their benefits, among them affordability and fuel efficiency, but when it comes to how they stand up in crash tests, small cars don't fare very well in crashes with larger vehicles.
The U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety looked at 2009 versions of the Smart "fortwo," the Honda Fit, and the Toyota Yaris, and found that drivers in those vehicles could sustain significant leg and head injuries in front-end crashes with mid-size vehicles.
Automakers argued that the tests simulated high-speed crashes rarely seen on the roads.
When gas prices surged in 2008, sales of small cars jumped as well. Not only do they cost less - on average US$12,000 to $18,000 - they're also good on gas.
The tests involved head-on crashes between the "fortwo" and the 2009 Mercedes C Class, the Fit and a 2009 Honda Accord, and the Yaris and the 2009 Toyota Camry.
In the fortwo crash, the Smart car went airborne after striking the C Class, which weigs about twice as much. The fortwo's interior was badly damaged and the driver could have faced serious leg and head injuries. The C Class didn't sustain much damage.
A Smart USA spokesperson noted that the test simulated a "rare and extreme scenario" and the fortwo has in the past received strong ratings from the U.S. government's crash test program.
The test involving the Honda Fit saw the dummy's head strike the steering wheel through the air bag. Once again the Fit's structure didn't stand up as well against that of the Accord. Honda reps said more or less the same thing as Smart USA - that the test represented extreme conditions and that all 2009 Hondas had received top scores from the Insurance Institute.
The Yaris test was more of the same - in the crash with the larger Camry, the smaller car sustained more damage and the driver dummy showed signs of head and leg injuries. A Toyota spokesperson said the car-to-car crash didn't have much relevance to consumers because of the severity.

Tell that to this guy!

It's come to my attention that the car above is not a "Smart", but a Volkswagen "Fox". They both have similar features. So I'm sorry about that... BUT...They both have very similar crash test outcomes also... So take it what ya may.

Take a look at the top and see it get it's face filled in by a "C Class" Mercedes Benz! Does that make ya feel better?

Wally Logic:

As for the European And Asian Automakers saying accidents don't normally happen like that. "Only extreme conditions"! We live in North America. It's a very vast area. Most people I know drive 200km a day, on super fast highways. Every day is an extreme day! Maybe if we lived across the road to go to work and walked down the street to shop? Then these cars could be practical? They're not in our countries. EVER!

I garnetee insurance will go up on smaller cars even more than before after these results are published . So goodbye to your savings!!! Shit these cars don't even save that much on gas! Look at the real stats on these cars and you'd be surprised on the saving. 2 to 10 mpg average savings. Is 10 mpg worth your life? Plus da "Smart" uses diesel the most caustic, cancer causing, fuel in da world!

We don't need smaller cars. We need to change the resources we use in our favour.

40 mph get'cha's a wheel chair! At Best!

Da Gospel Accord'n To Da Guy In Da Black Hat.

So some people believe Judas Iscariot was a wronged man eh? That's surprising especially if he was the man writing the scripts. Who'd have thunk it? "Hey Judas ya just turned in da "Son 'O' God what ya gonna do now"? ((("I'm go'n to Disney World "!))) "Then Kill Myself".

It's Funny that every year around this time, Good friday and Easter, some amazing document comes along proving Jesus was not the Son 'O' God. This time it's Judas's turn.

Well, as ya all know? I'm one of da lucky ones. I have da power to talk with the dead. I've interviewed some of history's greatest and most infamous men. I've chatted with Hitler, dined with Lennon, (John, da other one's a total asshole!). Shared tea with Belushi...on and on... As some of you are aware. I've had da pleasure of talking to Judas before. But... As of last night, he wouldn't answer any of my calls. He's still mad that I told everyone about his gay romance with Jeffrey Dahmer.

So here's my old interview with Judas. This is an old transcript so some of the interview is kinda disjointed, but I think you'll get his message?

Wallycrawler : Hey Jude! How ya do'n buddy?

Judas: "I wish I could say better Wally. Last night Genghis Ghan and Joe Stalin double anal raped me again"! "That fuck'n Stalin all he wants ta do is fist fuck, fist fuck, fist fuck. That stuff never gets old ta him".

Wally: Oww! OK then... Tell me what's Hell is like Jude?

Judas : "You'll find out Wally"! "Just kidd'n". "Your OK bud". "Ya know endless suffering, pain, da heat is fuck'n murder and of coarse ya get fuck'd in every orifice". "I was once fornicated by a bull in my urethra" !

Wally: WOW I bet that smarts!

Judas: "Ya"!

Wally: Judas what happened on that last night with Jesus? Why did you turn the Messiah into Ponchus Pilot?

Judas : (obviously nervous) "Ya see? Jesus wanted to be turned in man"! "He wanted ta die on dat cross, OK?.... Right, that's it`OK". "Ya that resurrection thing? Didn't hap'n man..See see"? "I know cause I was dare, brotha". "Yup dat's it"! "Some guys think I off'd me-self before dat, nope"! "I waited til I seen me work"...

"Ya he wasn't da messiah anyhow, he was a, a... a carpenter, see? And a shitty one at dat"! " Did ya ever see that stereo stand he made me"? "Fuck'n sux"!

Wally: So Jesus wanted to be turned in to the authorities? OK I see! Why?

Judas: "Fame Man, Fame"! "Dat guy was all about da fame, see"! "He makes Geraldo look like Gandhi"! "He had all da boys (apostles I guess) write good stuff about him, man" . "Like he could, like walk on water and stuff like dat dare"!

Wally: Anyway he wanted to die so he'd be famous?

Judas : "Ya man sure. Da fame Dude"! "What a fuck'n ego he's got"!

Wally: If that is true why are you in hell? How come your not in heaven? All the other apostles are now saints and they have the number one best selling book in the last 2000 years? Except for "Private Parts" of coarse!

Judas: "Hey man I fuck'd up man"! "I went and killed me-self". " If I didn't do that , see , I'd be da frig'n Messiah". "Ya I'd be the Messiah. an Jesus would be a faded memory, that's it"! "Fuck man, if I didn't off me-self I'd be God`s boy, ya that's da ticket!

"I've read Private Parts and dat guy's gonna get fisted too"! "Satan can't wait til gets his hooves on dat guy"!

Wally: Is there any evidince out there to prove you were doing what God and Jesus wanted?

Judas: "Yup, about 400 years after I croaked some monks wrote some way-out scripture proving I was a cool dude".

Wally: How would that prove you were righteous?

Judas: "What da fuck ya want with me Fuck-Head"? " If you just find dat papayas, da answers are dare, see"?

Wally: OK...OK... I'll pass that info along! One last question Jude, what did you do with the gold you received?

Judas: "Whores man! Whores and loads of booze"! "Dat Jesus guy wouldn't ever let us get laid man"! ``He was hung up on sex dude``.

Wally: Well I hope it was all worth it to you?

That was my interview with Judas Iscariot, former apostle, crude folk hero and all`round rat-bastard.

Remembering Sam Kinison Again

..." Jesus is the only guy that ever came back from the dead that didn't scare the FUCK out of everybody!"-Sam Kinison

I'm at home sick, again. God I hate being sick I'm the biggest baby when I'm ill. I will just curl up in a ball in front of the fireplace and watch TV. My wife can paint a room, cut the grass, do the laundry, wash the floors and make dinner... All with a temperature of 101! How do women do that? Us men are such babies! I'm the biggest baby. Anyway today I decided to watch a old video, something I haven't seen for a while. I searched around awhile and pulled out a piece of gold. "The King'O'Stand-Up Comedy"... Samuel Burl Kinison. (((OH OH OHHH!))). If you don't know who Sam is stop reading now... OK most everybody is still here right? Sam Kinison was the funniest man ever that stood on stage with a microphone. There were other great stand-up's: Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Bill Cosby and of course the best on his time George W. Bush... None of them could hold a candle, (what does that mean anyway?) to Sam. The first time I saw Kinison was on "Rodney Dangerfield's Young Comedians Special" on HBO l. Rodney had seen this crazy comic on the circuit and he blew his mind. Rodney really had a knack at finding and promoting comedians. Sam was one of many stand-up's Rodney had discovered in his lifetime, including Roseanne Barr, Jerry Seinfeld, Brad Garrett, Jim Carey...on and on... But Sam was his favorite discovery. Mine too.

Kinison said things and did things on and off stage that are truly memorable. A prime example would be; when Sam and his first wife were involved in a fight the night before he was going on a long road trip. His wife arouse the next morning, all bright and cheerful. She pretended to make up with him, stating; "I'm sorry baby , I love you baby", she packed his bag & proceeded to hide a loaded .38 in his luggage. Nice eh?

Ahh... When Sam got out of jail.... His wife had cleaned out the house and left him penniless. "There’s a way of transferring funds that is even faster than electronic banking. It’s called marriage.’—Sam Kinison 1988. Priceless !

When I herd him tell that story for the first time I nearly pissed myself! It goes to show ya, never let anyone touch your bags especially the woman your screwing around on! "The Wild Thing" was Sam's badge, a moniker that was well deserved. Sam started living with a "scream'n hawt" model Malika Souiri and then was caught boffing her equally as "smoke'n" sister Sabrina. Instead off getting his balls cut off, he talked both of them into setting up house with him. WA DA FUCK!!! Ya that was Sam. How do you do that? Please tell me! Another funny antidote in his short career was the time Sam was flown out from Los Angles to New York to tape the "Joan Rivers Show", on her dime! He was just got out'a rehab. That morning he stopped by his best friends radio show..." The Howard Stern Show ". Howard was teasing him all morning, " Hey your not very funny since you quit the booze Sam"! Unfortunately Howard's ribbing was really what Sam thought down deep...He couldn't be funny without the aid of alcohol and drugs. Kinison went to the dressing room grabbed a liter of champagne & downed it. He got drunker & drunker as the show went on. He was also getting funnier and funnier. That day he didn't show up for his date on the "Rivers Show". Rivers was fucking pissed at Sam for fucking her show and her audience over. She had a whole hour devoted to him. She was going to introduce him as the next "Big Thing"! Joan Rivers was not going to stand for that, she had a studio full of people and no other guests booked. So she and her camera crew descended on to Sam's hotel suite and banged on his door; " Sam are you in there "? "Why didn't you show up"? "Are you drunk again"? Now that's some funny crazy shit! Sam had that effect on most women, he'd fuck them and then they would fuck him even harder.

From his exploits with Jessica Hahn to his stunts on "Saturday Night Live", everything in his life and on stage, was full of risk and danger. When Sam went out for dinner wait staff would fight to serve him. He was a notoriously heavy tipper. If the bill came to a thousand bucks he would tip a thousand. Kinison never did anything small. His drug indulgences would attest to that. But through all of this Sam never lost sight of his inner self. In his former profession he was a revival preacher. When Sam would fall off the wagon or lose his way, Sam would always came back to God. In Sam Kinison's last days he started preaching again. Ironically, while on route to a show in Las Vegas, April 10th. 1992, Sam Kinison was killed by a drunk driver. Sam's last words were "I 'm not ready", looking up at the sky he seemed to come to terms with what was stated back,"OK...OK...OK...OK...". His last word's are one of the most quoted ever.

Sam Kinison was a great comic mind and I couldn't ever give him justice by writing any of his bits, so I'll recommend one of his DVD's: "Breaking The Rules" pure gold !!! Also the biography "Brother Sam" by Sam's real bother, Bill Kinison. A very well written and a totally insightful look at this very funny man!

God Bless you Sam thanx for the laughs.

ReHash: Are You A Triple "A" Personality?

This look back is fer all the emails I got fer my recent posts on the economy and carbon taxes. Something I wrote way-back in early 2006.




Do you know what a triple "A" personality is? It stands for "Astoundingly Astute Asshole"! Or in layman's terms "F'n Asshole"!
Do people dislike you and ya can't figure out why? Do you at party's find yourself thinking: "I hate these shit-heads", "These people are fuck'n lame brains"? Do you have an answer to every one's problems, even when you don't care or don't think ya know the answer? Do you have a whole whack of unusable information? Do you know way to much info on world, celebrity and personal affairs? Do you have perfect recall? Do you have an answer to unanswerable questions? When lectured at school. or work, can you repeat verbatim what the person just taught you? Is da wife's nick-name for you, "Asshole"? Do you have a blog?

If you answered yes to any or all of these questions you are a "AAA" person! So ya guessed it. Da Wallycrawler is a total triple "A" person! I'm that guy. I'm the guy people run away from after 10 min. of meeting him. Unless your drunk or stoned, then I'm your God! I've had drunk gals and guys say;:"Man I always thought you where a dick, man your so f'n cool"! Then the next day, after sobering up, avoid me like the plague. This is to say ya don't have to be smart to be "AAA". Fuck I'm not that's for sure! Ya just have to be... kind'a different. The way my brain works is waaaay different than other people's brain's work.

The only person I can think of who is just like this and most people would know is "Cliff Clavin" of "Cheers" fame. Ya know the TV show in the 80's? Just thinking about that character puts shivers down the backs of every normal person. Not me I related to him. Could you imagine relating to this guy? It's not that he's a bad guy, it's just that he's so fuck'n annoying . That "no-it-all fucker" at the end of the bar. The guy people ask questions of, get the answer from and then roll their eyes. Some of the time the advise is shear utter crap. Some of the time it's just mind numbing drivel. But most of the time it's right on ! So here's the real problem being this guy. (((ALL PEOPLE HATE THE TRUTH!))) Or at least the truth as I know it. I'm the go too guy at work. I have customers and managers come to me every day to fix their problems, or get answers to their projects. I know, you do at your work too! Not at the extent it happens to me though. When I give them the answer, they fuck'n hate it! It's right every time, but they fuck'n hate it! The response is: " That's not what I was told". Or: "Can't I do it this way"? My response usually is: "Well no you can't , that's not the right way". Or. "No that's against code". They hate that reason the most, cause they can't argue against something they don't know about . I can , I'm triple "A" remember? If you pretend to know something I know about, Which is everything, (((LOOK OUT!))) Most people who are like that and argue with me are look'n for the cheap way out . Ya don't do that with me baby! I'll have buy'n everything in the fuck'n store! If you fuck with me I'll fuck with you twice as hard. I'm a total asshole remember? I can make a house inspector do somersaults and I have just fer fun! Customers who have had their plumbing licenses for years come to me for their answers. I don't have a plumbing licence and fucked if I want one. It's just I have total recall for lame fuck'd up shit. Now ask me my wife's friends name and I'm lost. That's the worst thing about being "Triple A", ya just don't care about anyone else. That could be a good thing too! I'm not bragging this is just some scenarios I've come up with (fuck-off asshole) . Why would I brag about plumbing or home improvement? I hate the shit! It bores me to tears.
Now comes the time as why I wrote this post: First I came out to all of you because I know, you know, I'm an asshole. I came out to help all my "AAA" friends and family, it's usually genetic ya know? I came out so people like me will come out and embrace their "assholedom". Please people if you are an asshole come out, come out now. Tell your family and friends, (they already know anyway). Tonight before bed, look in the mirror and ask yourself am I a triple "A" personality? When you come to terms with it, go to your computer and make a comment on my blog. I can help you asshole. I will give you guidance with coming to terms of you be'n a total asshole.
If you know your a no-it-all asshole, here's my best advise to you right now... "KEEP YOUR FUCK'N MOUTH SHUT YOU FUCK'N ASSHOLE"!


OK, OK...I know, I know. That's not what a true triple "A" personality is. It's a highly intelligent, highly organized, highly motivated person . Einstein was a "AAA" personality. Give it a brake will ya? it's just a f'n story. Fuck! What a fuck'n asshole you are !!!

Enuff said. Good Night My Little Assholes All Over Da World .

P.S. A "Cliff Calvinism", not to be confused with da other form of "Calvinism"...

"The Buffalo Theory": As told to Norm Peterson, the beer loving, heavyweight bar stool sitting, perpetual patron on Cheers. Cliff expounds his "Theory" to his beer soaked friend. “Well, you see, Norm, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

How Da Auto Industry Effects Our Economy?

Here's a simple answer:

"The automobile industry is an expensive industry to be in and to stay in business they have to sell cars. If the economy is bad and people are not buying new cars because they cannot afford new cars and gas prices are also forcing people to choose alternative ways of travel, car pooling, public transport, etc., the automobile industry suffers. If this last too long, to meet costs and avoid going under the automobile industry will have to cut back, close plants, etc., which in turn also has a detrimental effect on the economy".

Do you think that's the answer?

If you say yes, your way wrong!

Did you know the the American auto industry effects 69% of our GDP ( Gross Domestic Product)? It does. Did you know that when Toyota was announced as the the leader in auto sales in the world that in the next following weeks a recession occured world wide? It did. Do you know that when the U.S.'s GDP rises that stock markets all around the world rise with it? It does. Did you know when Japan's GDP rised to it's highest level in the late 1980's that there was a housing collapse world wide? It did.

It touches everyone of you in some way or another. World wide.
The average job in the automotive manufacturing sector was compensated at a level 60 percent higher than the average U.S. job. As a matter of fact these jobs pay for about 50% of the U.S. and Canadian economy. If you outsource your own way of life, don't expect that it wont be turned upside down.

This economic downturn has everything to do with Americans And Canadians not buying our own product.

We as a nation should fire bomb the Honda and Toyota plants not lend them money to build plants and lower our national average income.

If you want to restart our economy look out to your garage. If it's a foreign made vehicle take it out to the woods and set fire to it. Phone it in stolen. Or better still trade it in. Buy an American or Canadian made car. It my cost ya a few bucks, but in the long run it's the best money you've ever invested in. It's time to take care of our own! Make sure it's an real American made car. Some cars carry Ford, Chrysler and GM name brands, but are made in Mexico, Korera...etc...

What is going down in both of our contries is the largest union bust in histroy and we're just sit'n back and watching it. Doing noth'n but watching...Lemings.

It's time to stand up fight and give our jobs back to our freinds and family. To make our purchases count.

Good Bye "Test".

Bret Hart's comments on the passing of Andrew 'Test' Martin.*

Good-bye my friend.

It’s with a very heavy heart that I somehow search for the right words to express my deepest sorrow over the loss of yet another of my wrestling brothers, Andrew Martin, aka Test.
I met Andrew, along with his equally huge friend George, at the Planet Hollywood restaurant in downtown Toronto in 1996. WWE exec, Carlo DeMarco brought them both up to meet me and to see if I’d be interested in possibly training them as wrestlers. Andrew was, as my father would say, a fine specimen; 6’ 6”, lean, hard and handsome with a big, boyish smile. I wasn’t actually looking for any more prospects but I saw something in him and told him if he could get over to Calgary I’d personally teach him, free of charge.
I was working a full WWE schedule back then and was preparing to begin teaching, or fine tuning, some of the many young wrestlers that were starting to pop up everywhere. I instantly liked Andrew and I can smile now at the memory of coming home from the road, physically exhausted, only to remember that I’d promised Andrew a real match in my dungeon. I found myself reluctantly wrapping my knees and lacing up my boots so I could wrestle Andrew on my precious day off. That day Andrew went from dreaming of being a wrestler to actually working with the WWE World Champion in his home. I wrestled Andrew for over a half hour and I knew back then that, with his size and ability, he was going to go far in the business. Unfortunately, my days in the WWE came to an end just as Andrew’s time was beginning. I’d gotten most of my students tryouts at the Raw TV taping in Ottawa, the day after the infamous screwjob in Montreal, and so our paths took a fork in the road. Even with me gone, Carlo, Edge, Christian and my bother Owen helped guide Andrew and he earned his spot on the WWE roster. I lost contact with Andrew for a time, but every now and then I’d catch him on TV and I felt very proud of him.
Death brought Andrew and I back together when we saw each other at Bryan “Krush” Adams’ funeral two years ago. It was during that sad, dark time - after the recent losses of Sherri Martel, Bam Bam Bigelow and the blackness of the Chris Benoit tragedy - I was hearing that Andrew was having drug addiction problems again and I was fearful he might be next.
I saw a need to keep in touch with him and do all I could to encourage him to save himself, and maybe some others too. We renewed our friendship and stayed in touch.
This past November I had the luck of doing a wrestling tour in France for two weeks with Andrew and he seemed to be a new man. He’d completed WWE sponsored rehab and had a new lease on life. Andrew clearly had his demons on the run and we talked about him becoming the poster child for wrestlers that desperately needed a voice urging, “If I can beat this, so can you!” Andrew convinced me he had the commitment and the determination to make a difference. I had a great time with him on that tour.
Following the tour I had painful knee replacement surgery and now it was Andrew calling me to see if I was doing okay. A few weeks ago he talked of coming to visit me here in Hawaii. He seemed so strong and focused that I never thought to question him about how he was doing. I again urged him to use his experience to reach out to the many wrestlers who are still losing their battle with drug addiction.
Now I wish so much that I could’ve somehow known that Andrew's once strong grip on his addictions was loosening and beginning to slip. I failed to see the signs of him losing a battle that I thought he’d already won. My heart has been heavy since the news of his passing. In our last phone call, a few weeks ago, I kidded him about how he worked that entire France tour and never took one bump and I smile at the memory of his deep booming laugh echoing over the phone. That’s how I choose to remember my friend. I’m sorry I didn’t see his pain and suffering; had I known I’d have tried harder to save him. He slipped and we lost one of the good ones. Nobody has anything but the nicest things to remember about Andrew Martin. I will miss him. He was a dear friend, one of very few I had left in a profession where too many die too young. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his entire family. Somehow, as hard as we all tried, we lost another good soul forever.

Da Year Of Da Comedy

JONAH HILL, PAUL RUDD, SETH ROGEN, and JASON SEGEL: "The Pretty Young Things"!

After appearing in "Knocked Up" , "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" & "Superbad" this quartet can now be considered summa cum laude graduates of the Judd Apatow school of comedy. Unlike so many comedy stars of the last two decades, they seem at their best when they work not as soloists but as part of a tightly knit ensemble. Say good-bye to the laughter of alienation and hello to a brand of comedy that fosters a feeling of community. Rather than dominate a crowd, they conspire with the people in the audience. Their strength lies in their charm. Even Rogen, Apatow's student from his cult classic TV shows "Undeclared" & "Freaks and Geeks". Seth has now become the most sought after comedian/actor/writer in Hollywood and is now in post production of the new "Green Hornet Movie". He will play the lead role of "Britt Reid/The Green Hornet". I love give'n Seth some props cause he's a fellow Canuck.

Why Do We Need To Study Global Warm'n?

By The Associated Press

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. - A rocket carrying a NASA global warming satellite splashed into the ocean near Antarctica early Tuesday after a failed launch.
The Taurus XL rocket carrying the Orbiting Carbon Observatory blasted off just before 2 a.m. from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base.
But minutes later, the fairing on the rocket failed to separate, a preliminary investigation found. The fairing is a clamshell cover protecting the satellite as it is blasted through the atmosphere.
The 450-kilogram satellite was supposed to be placed into an orbit some 650 kilometres high to track carbon dioxide emissions.
"Certainly for the science community it's a huge disappointment," said John Brunschwyler, Taurus project manager for Orbital Sciences Corp., which built the rocket and satellite. "It's taken so long to get here."
The project was nine years in the making.
The rocket landed in the ocean near Antarctica. A group of environment ministers from more than a dozen countries met on the southern continent this week to get the latest science on global warming.
NASA said it will convene a team of experts to investigate the loss of the satellite.
The observatory was NASA's first satellite dedicated to monitoring carbon dioxide on a global scale. Measurements collected from the $280 million mission were expected to improve climate models and help researchers determine where the greenhouse gas originates and how much is being absorbed by forests and oceans.
Last month, Japan successfully launched the world's first satellite to monitor global warming emissions.
Scientists currently depend on 282 land-based stations - and scattered aircraft flights - to monitor carbon dioxide at low altitudes.
Carbon dioxide is the leading greenhouse gas and its buildup helps trap heat from the sun, causing potentially dangerous warming of the planet. Carbon dioxide emissions rose three per cent worldwide from 2006 to 2007, according to international science agencies.

So then, my question again???

Why Do We Need To Study Global Warm'n?

It's a open up and shut case isn't it?

We created "Global Warming" right? It's from "Greenhouse Gases", fossil fuels that we dispersed in the air!

Case closed!

Now we gotta fix the problem by using "Green Friendly" vehicles, buying "Green" products, soon as we're back in line with acceptable "Greenhouse Gas" we're free of worry. Right? Right? Right????

Well No. "Case" isn't closed!

More and more "real" scientists know more than they care to share about "Climate Change".

Well then if you still think we're the root cause for "Global Warm'n", or what they now call "Climate Change", why, oh, why, would NASA, the USA, in a fit of a huge money melt down, want to send a 280 million dollar satellite in space to study it? And this isn't the first satellite NASA has sent up for the same purpose. Shhh that's a secret!

Japan also has one, so do the Russians, the Chinese? Probably!

NASA has also used Hubble to look inta "Climate Change". Studying the Earth's weather shifts in the last ten years. Again this is NASA's answer to "Money well wasted"!

I know what the problem is, so do the scientists and deep down so do you.

They are searching for answers to the cosmic question. (?)

HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TIL THE NEXT ICE AGE?

Well we just had one. Did ya notice? No?

My Friends "Global Warming", "Climate Change", what ever they're call'n it now? Is a FRAUD!It's a designed initiative to transpose cheaper energy into highly inefficient more expensive energy. One namely is "Nuclear Power".

“Nuclear is also the most expensive energy source in the world and actually generates only 2 percent of the world’s supply.”

Wind generation is another.

Wind generation has a unreal cost on the consumer and the environment, namely birds and bats. I love to read about how wind generation serves people. One article had a two million dollar wind generator located at the top of a ski hill. The owner said "...this unit saves us one hundred thousand dollars a year and does two thirds of our yearly energy"...."and it will last for ever"! That's quite good isn't it? This unit will pay for itself say in twenty years and it will last forever! Please asshole. This thing will be a Coke can in twenty years, a second generation Coke can. Plus this unit is killing bats at an alarming rate, seems it's situated in a migration path for brown bats. What a Eco friendly machine!

We have the answers to ours needs. Large corporations and larger governments are gouging at our pocket books and our future.

Obama is preaching Junk Science.

I sated this before and I will again. Our lives are in our hands. Learn da truth. Don't be fooled into losing your lifestyle and futures just because you have a guilt complex. We are be'n marketed into a middle class genocide. We are killing our futures for the sake of the Hollywood, Washington, New York, marketing gurus. They know your weaknesses. Renewable energy is here, been here forever. Look to the soil, the earth, look to the sun. Wind generation does has it's place also "where" is the question? But don't forsake fossil fuels for something that just doesn't work.

Watch the You Tube video below to enlighten yourself to what the root cause of a "climate change" initiative is. It's all to start a new tax structure. Wait my dear lemmings "Carbon Tax" is upon us!

These Corporations and their Governments wont be finished with us until we are dead and in our graves. Then who will they use to keep them rich?
