ANOTHER SCIENTIST DISSENTS FROM GLOBAL WARMING SCARE

http://www.cfact.org/about/

You wouldn’t know it from watching the news, but there is something big going on in climate science.

As large institutions such as President Obama’s National Climate Assessment, or the UN IPCC, issue reports laden with fear, but short on science, scientists with a conscience are concluding they can no longer be a part of them.

One by one, the world’s most reputable scientists are concluding that they just can’t have their names associated with wildly unscientific claims and propaganda calculated to promote hysteria.

They are swelling the ranks of the thousands of scientists who have already come out against the global warming scare.

One very big name to openly dissent is Prof. Dr. Lennart Bengtsson, the former Director of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology.

As Dr. Bengtsson points out, real world observations of temperature do not support the climate computer models upon which the whole warming shebang is predicated.

Contrary to what we are constantly being told by the warming-compliant media, there has been very little temperature change, nothing unusual about the weather, and the models call for higher temperatures than have actually occurred. There has been no meaningful temperature increase since the turn of the millennium.

US approval for Israeli loss of vision monitor. (Thanks to Israel21c) The US FDA has just approved ForeseeHome, developed by Israel’s Notal Vision, which allows patients suffering age-related macular degeneration (AMD) to monitor the progression of the condition in their own homes. It is vital to identify immediately when “dry” AMD changes to “wet” AMD at which point they can be treated.

Israeli water filter to help grow bigger fish. (Thanks to Israel21c) Israel’s BioFishency provides an affordable water filtration system for fish farmers that minimizes water usage and produces larger, healthier fish. A pilot site is to be set up in Jericho. The fish waste will be used as organic fertilizer for local date palms.

Compiling Honest Solutions to the Immigration Crisis: Michael Cutler

Michael W. Cutler is a retired Senior Special Agent with the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service). He appears regularly on numerous radio and television programs, including Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC. He hosts his own Internet radio program, “The Michael Cutler Hour.” Mr. Cutler has testified as an expert witness at more than a dozen Congressional hearings, provided testimony to the 9/11 Commission, and provides expert witness testimony at trials where immigration is at issue. Visit his website at: www.michaelcutler.net.

“Discussions about immigration can be highly contentious, but there is one fact that cannot be denied — the immigration system is not working. The presence of unknown millions of illegal aliens provides the clearest evidence of just how dysfunctional the immigration system is.

The fact that prisons are overflowing with criminal aliens from countries around the world and that terrorist attacks have been attempted and carried out by aliens who successfully gamed the immigration system not only provides additional evidence of how dysfunctional the immigration system is, but also serves to illustrate the potential serious consequences of the failures of the immigration system.

While immigration is indeed a system containing many essential components, advocates for Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation, whom I have come to refer to as “Immigration Anarchists,” are determined to focus everyone’s attention on just one element of one component: the security of the border that is supposed to separate the United States from Mexico.

Make no mistake, that border must be made secure against the entry of aliens who would evade the inspections process. That border is supposed to prevent the entry of aliens whose presence would be detrimental to America and to prevent contraband from being smuggled into the U.S.

The ease with which cocaine and heroin can be purchased on street corners in every town and city provides irrefutable evidence that our borders are not secure.
