NOAA Data Reveals More Global Warming Skepticism

A monthly report from the NOAA shows that October was the 3rd coldest on record. How can this be with Al Gore's money making assertion that the planet is burning up? The fact is many scientists believe we are in a longer term cooling period marked with shorter term fluctuations in temperatures - some lasting longer than others. These are all determined by sun spot activity - the driving force behind our planet's weather. The NOAA reports:

National Overview:

• Temperature Highlights - October
• The average October temperature of 50.8°F was 4.0°F below the 20^th Century average and ranked as the 3^rd coolest based on preliminary data.
• For the nation as a whole, it was the third coolest October on record. The month was marked by an active weather pattern that reinforced unseasonably cold air behind a series of cold fronts. Temperatures were below normal in eight of the nation's nine climate regions, and of the nine, five were much below normal. Only the Southeast climate region had near normal temperatures for October.

‘No Guarantee’ Amendment Prohibiting Abortion Funding Will Be Retained in Final Version of Health-Care Bill

It's in then it's out, it's back in then it's back out again. What is going on with the abortion coverage of the socialist health care bill that jacko'lantern Pelosi is peddling? Her scheming is transparent. What she is trying to do is sneak it in one area of the enormous document hoping nobody catches it. Then when somebody does, quickly withdraw it in order to "prove" to the country that the abortion watchdogs are 'making things up'. Then when the storm finally settles she puts it back in somewhere else. So the cycle continues. Just watching Pelosi's track record on this bill concerning abortion tells us there will be abortion coverage in the bill, period.

The article under this title heading explains . . . (click here). It states in part:

The amendment would prohibit federal funds from paying for any part of any health insurance plan that covers abortion. Stupak told CNSNews.com in a video interview posted on Oct. 23 that he had organized a group of about 40 Democrats who would vote to kill the health-care bill if Speaker Pelosi did not allow a straight up-or-down vote on his amendment when the health bill came to the House floor.

Pelosi finally consented to this request and instructed the House Rules Committee to approve a vote on Stupak’s amendment in the wee hours of Saturday morning—the same day the bill came up for a vote.

During debate on the bill on the House floor Saturday afternoon, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R.-Ohio) said he believed the Democratic leadership had relented and allowed a vote on Stupak’s amendment only because they needed more votes to pass the bill itself. Boehner said he doubted the amendment would be included in the final version of the bill that emerges from a House-Senate conference committee.

“The only reason this amendment is allowed to be offered is in order to secure enough votes to try to move this bill through the floor today,” said Boehner. “And I have my doubts about whether this language if it passes has any chance of ever being in the final version of this bill.”

Pelosi’s Government-Run Health Plan Will Require a Monthly Abortion Premium

This headline by article from Republican Leader John Boehner isn't just "playing" politics, it's a grim reality. Knowing Nancy Pelosi's Catholic Pro-Abortion track record, it isn't surprising. The article states:

line 17, p. 110, section 222 under “Abortions for which Public Funding is Allowed” the Health and Human Services Secretary is given the authority to determine when abortion is allowed under the government-run plan. The Speaker’s plan also requires that at least one insurance plan offered in the Exchange covers abortions.

What is even more alarming is that a monthly abortion premium will be charged of all enrollees in the government-run plan. It’s right there on line 16, page 96, section 213, under “Insurance Rating Rules.” The premium will be paid into a U.S. Treasury account -and these federal funds will be used to pay for the abortion services.

Section 213 describes the process in which the Health Benefits Commissioner is to assess the monthly premiums that will be used to pay for elective abortions under the government-run plan. The Commissioner must charge at a minimum $1 per enrollee per month.

In fact the US Conference of Catholic Bishops reaffirms that Pelosi is legislating such a government funded abortion program in another article. More recently, the USCCB asserts on October 8, 2009 that:

“No one should be required to pay for or participate in abortion. It is essential that the legislation clearly apply to this new program longstanding and widely supported federal restrictions on abortion funding and mandates, and protections for rights of conscience. No current bill meets this test…. If acceptable language in these areas cannot be found, we will have to oppose the health care bill vigorously.”

They recommend in a USCCB NATIONWIDE BULLETIN INSERT:

Please contact your Representative and Senators today and urge them to fix these bills with the pro-life amendments noted below. Otherwise much needed health care reform will have to be opposed. Health care reform should be about saving lives, not destroying them.

ACTION: Contact Members through e-mail, phone calls or FAX letters.

 To send a pre-written, instant e-mail to Congress go to www.usccb.org/action.

 Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at: 202-224-3121, or call your Members’ local offices.

 Full contact info can be found on Members’ web sites at www.house.gov & www.senate.gov.

MESSAGE to SENATE:

“During floor debate on the health care reform bill, please support an amendment to incorporate longstanding policies against abortion funding and in favor of conscience rights. If these serious concerns are not addressed, the final bill should be opposed.”

MESSAGE to HOUSE:

“Please support the Stupak Amendment that addresses essential pro-life concerns on abortion funding and conscience rights in the health care reform bill. Help ensure that the Rule for the bill allows a vote on this amendment. If these serious concerns are not addressed, the final bill should be opposed.”

WHEN: Both House and Senate are preparing for floor votes now. Act today! Thank you!

The Agents of Anti-Catholicism

Undoubtedly, anti-Catholicism is the last acceptable prejudice. A book under the same title goes into greater detail (click here to view book details). In October 2009 alone, Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York points out in an article that the New York times, in a mere span of 17 days poured layer upon layer of their prejudice against Catholicism with publication of stories bent on painting Catholicism in a bad light. Where media outlets acquire such behavior is baffling. Perhaps they've caught it from their institutional leanings early in their University level indoctrinations; or perhaps from individual reporters selling themselves out to an ideology that must disfavor Catholicism to advance their careers. Regardless of the origins, anti-Catholicism is not only transparently bias, but increasingly tiresome. It seems that some people satisfy their personal odds-with-life by setting their sights on a scapegoat that they believe will just take it lying down - in today's world it is the Catholic Church.

Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake (Matt 5:11)

Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. (John 15:20)

Catholic Bishops: Health Care Reform Plan Being Proposed by President Obama and Democrats in Congress Will Allow Federal Funds to Pay for Abortions

According to a FOX News Article,

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Pro-Life Activities Secretariat is encouraging all archdioceses and parishes in the U.S. to send a pre-written e-mail that urges House members to oppose any rule that will not allow debate on an amendment that would prohibit taxpayer dollars from being used for abortions, and to send another e-mail to senators to support the amendment.

Global Warming Not Evident in the Past 10 Years

According to the BBC News article in their Science and Environment section global warming has not occurred for more than a decade. The article states:

For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures. And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise. . . . One solar scientist Piers Corbyn from Weatheraction, a company specialising in long range weather forecasting, . . . claims that solar charged particles impact us far more than is currently accepted, so much so he says that they are almost entirely responsible for what happens to global temperatures.

He is so excited by what he has discovered that he plans to tell the international scientific community at a conference in London at the end of the month.

If proved correct, this could revolutionise the whole subject.

Let's hope Mr. Corbyn is given more mic time than Mr. MacIver. Also watch Al Gore's fumbled reaction when MacIver finally suggests that polar bears may perhaps no longer be endangered. UHHH! Did he really say that? How dare he question the great Oz. Al Gore is only used to hearing what restrictions lobbyists want to implement in the name of "science" while only lending an ear to those that restrict production and advance his personal crusade to control the world:
