Read what TIME Magazine wrote in 1974 about the impending Ice Age:
Note they use similar verbiage about Global Cooling as those today use about Global Warming: “real scientists don’t deny Global Cooling and if the governments of the world don’t do something today we’re all doomed in just a few short years...” and “Man caused Global Cooling.”

Global Cooling
Fox News | 10/24/06 | Brit Hume
It has been more than 30 years since Newsweek magazine warned readers of what it called "ominous signs that the earth's weather patterns have begun to change dramatically" and a "drastic decline in food production." The culprit in that 1975 story — global cooling.
Now Newsweek's Web site is offering an explanation for what it calls a "spectacularly wrong" prediction — along with the one in 1992 that said a new Ice Age could be triggered by the greenhouse effect. It says the stories weren't journalistically inaccurate — they were just premature.
And it cites a British scientist who says fears of global cooling never approached the widespread scientific consensus that supports the greenhouse effect today. Still, Newsweek says it's just as well that one of the possible solutions from the 1975 story was not followed — that we pour soot over the arctic ice cap to help it melt.
Remember the threat of Global Cooling, Next Ice Age Newsweek April 28, 1975 Article
In April, 1975, in an issue mostly taken up with stories about the collapse of the American-backed government of South Vietnam, NEWSWEEK published a small back-page article about a very different kind of disaster. Citing "ominous signs that the earth's weather patterns have begun to change dramatically," the magazine warned of an impending "drastic decline in food production." Political disruptions stemming from food shortages could affect "just about every nation on earth." Scientists urged governments to consider emergency action to head off the terrible threat of . . . well, if you had been following the climate-change debates at the time, you'd have known that the threat was: global cooling…

BBC confesses bias on religion, politics
An internal British Broadcasting Corporation memo reveals senior figures admitted the national news agency was guilty of promoting left-wing views and anti-Christian sentiment.
News of the memo, reported by British media, comes as the BBC continues to struggle against claims of biased reporting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and distorted coverage of the global fight against terror, reports the Israeli YnetNews.com.
The admissions of bias were made at a recent "impartiality" summit the BBC held. Most executives admitted the corporation's representation of homosexuals and ethnic minorities was unbalanced and disproportionate, YnetNews.com said. The British news agency, the report said, leaned too strongly towards political correctness, the overt promotion of multiculturalism, anti-Americanism and discrimination against the countryside....
...A senior BBC executive admitted to the British paper Daily Express, "There was a widespread acknowledgement that we may have gone too far in the direction of political correctness. Unfortunately, much of it is so deeply embedded in the BBC's culture, that it is very hard to change it."

More Hypocrisy on Wind Energy?
Federal Review ^ | Wednesday, October 25, 2006
Some residents of Enfield, a small town near Ithaca, New York, “the most enlightened city in America” are opposing a wind farm in the community.…some community members who live or have property near the site are not very welcoming of the proposal. Cliff Newhart lives on
Betsy Allen, also a resident on
“I just don't want it in my front yard,” she said.
Despite the call for alternative energy, a number of affluent liberal communities are opposed to wind turbines. Most recently, CBS News reported that residents of Martha’s Vineyard, Cape Cod and Nantucket were upset with plans “to use wind power to replace electric power plants and the pollution they cause” by placing turbines in Nantucket Sound.

In NYC the line for the Ladies' room just got longer.
October 24, 2006 New York
Men who live as women can now legally use women's rest rooms in
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority agreed to allow riders to use MTA rest rooms "consistent with their gender expression," the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund announced yesterday.
The group filed a complaint against the MTA on behalf of a 70-year-old telephone repair technician who was arrested for using the women's room at Grand Central Terminal.
The technician, who is assigned to the terminal by Verizon, was born Henry McGuinness but now goes by Helena Stone.
"I'm a 24-hour woman," Stone declared proudly. "I just feel like a woman and I like to wear women's clothes."
The MTA would not comment on the settlement but Stone's lawyer said it also includes mandatory transgender sensitivity training for MTA employees and a $2,000 payment to the technician for legal fees.
Michael Sullivan, Stone's lawyer, called the settlement of the complaint with the Human Rights Commission a "milestone" toward recognition of the city law that prohibits discrimination against transgender men and women.
But some Metro-North riders at Grand Central yesterday were stunned by the ruling... One rider feared predators might dress as women and lurk in the women's room.
But Rena Gantz, 23, a college student, shrugged off the settlement. "It doesn't bother me because it is a reality," she said. "If they believe they are women, they should be treated as one." OK Rena, whould you get on a plane piloted by someone who believed" they were a pilot but wasn't...?"

And just think of all the times the gay community told you "this would never happen".
I wonder if this would apply to women's changing rooms at the local pools or High School gyms as well? I wonder how you "prove" you are a transgender person, apparently wearing a dress is all you need.
Ahh, the joys of socialized medicine
UK: Elderly woman forced to drag herself up steps into her own home (Medics refused to help)
The Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | October 23, 2006
A frail 82-year-old woman was forced to shuffle up a set of steps on her bum after paramedics refused to help because of health and safety regulations.
Ambulance bosses are to carry out an investigation after Ellen Summers claimed she was forced to pull herself backwards up steps and along a corridor to get into her house.
The angry pensioner from Bradford,
It was only when Mrs Summers reached her sofa that they helped her into a sitting position, saying health and safety guidelines prevented them from lifting people - despite the fact Mrs Summers is 5ft and weighs just nine stone...
...Mrs Summer's said: "They said they could not put me in the chair because I could not bend my leg and it might hit them in the face so they put me down on the second step and I inched up on my bottom while they stood watching.
"They even said they were amazed I had done it. I was out of breath because I have a bad heart and my hands were full of pebbles."
Muslim Woman Told She Must Remove Veil To Testify In Detroit Court
10/23/06 …Detroit, Michigan (AHN)- Ginnah Muhammad, 42, is a devout Muslim, so as such, she feels she was forced to choose between her small claims court case and her religion, Friday.
Judge Paul Paruk, in Hamtramck District Court, told Muhammad she had to take off her niqab; a scarf and veil, which covers her face and head except for her eyes, or he would dismiss her case. The judge said he needed to see her face so he could judge her truthfulness when she testified….
…Paruk told the Detroit Free press he offered to let Muhammad, who was born in the
…"I just feel so sad," Muhammad said. "I feel that the court is there for justice for us. I don't feel that the court recognized me as a person that needed justice. I feel I can't trust the court."…

Authorities haul crying children away to avoid 'danger' from parental teachings
A Nazi-era law requiring all children to attend public school, to avoid "the emergence of parallel societies based on separate philosophical convictions" that could be taught by parents at home, apparently is triggering a Nazi-like response from police.
The word comes from Netzwerk Bildungsfreiheit, or Network for Freedom in Education, which confirmed that children in a family in Bissingen, in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, have been forcibly hauled to a public school.
"On Friday 20 October 2006 at around 7:30 a.m. the children of a home educating family ... were brought under duress to school by police," the organization, which describes itself as politically and religiously neutral, confirmed.
A separate weblog in the
www.Homeschoolblogger.com noted that the "three children were picked up by the police and escorted to school in Baden-Wurttemberg, with the 'promise' that it would happen again this week."
......It also contained reports that Waldemar Block, the father of nine, was arrested at his work earlier this month and jailed for 13 days, while Olga Block, his sister-in-law, was jailed for 10 days for not paying fines after she sent her children to a Christian school in
