California Dump Truck Owners Association (CDTOA) - California Construction Trucking Association (CCTA)

To all Readers:

At the last CCTA board meeting in November, someone questioned: “If there isn’t global warming, than how do you explain the ice loss in Greenland?” A number of people said that the photos were likely a fraud – but at that time it was still being investigated. We all saw the satellite-type photos of reduced polar ice on the white island which showed that about (116,000 sq. mi.) of ice cap was gone, assumingly melted due to global warming. Most creditable scientist scratched their heads knowing that such massive ice loss here would have raised sea levels (about 1 meter ~3 feet). Ironically, sea levels have actually dropped about .75-centimeters since 2010, as more moisture in falling on land masses as snow and rain - was the blame.

So, yes another fraud, an area incidentally about the same size of the entire state of Arizona has not disappeared as the published TC atlas photo indicated. Shockingly or not (depending on what you believe today), the creators or “photochoppers” of the satellite photos are now admitting to the fraudulent, touched up work and the world atlas publisher said they “have learned a lesson”. One would think a fraud like this would include jail-time, at least job loss. Again, it’s good to be skeptical because we are all being lied to daily about PM, CO2, fracking, wood formaldehyde and even DDT - this is the real incontrovertible fact.

Let’s see how many news agencies pick this story up and run the “opps… rebuttal” as quickly as they printed the fraudulent photos and scary earth-ending effects. This type of fraud is just another example of why we are suing CARB, make no mistake about it! Can you say Hien Tran the father of CARB diesel regulations justification, academic credential fraud, and most recently UC Berkeley’s Michael Jerrett, $750,000 California specific epi-study health effects fraud, Al Gore & Mikey Mann’s hockey stick fraud, the IPCC claimed doom of Himalayan glaciers by 2035, the leaked “Climategate” emails detailing massive international cover-up and on and on!

Talking gloom-and-doom about global warming may backfire with the public, according to a new study on climate attitudes from the University of California, Berkeley.

While the researchers' sample is hardly comprehensive or representative of America--the two psychologists conducted one experiment on 97 UC Berkeley undergraduates, and a second with 45 volunteers recruited from 30 U.S. cities via Craigslist--it raises an intriguing question about how environmentalists' outreach on climate change.

WASHINGTON - Faced with increasing political attacks, hundreds of climate scientists are joining a broad campaign to push back against congressional conservatives who have threatened prominent researchers with investigations and have vowed to kill regulations to rein in man-made greenhouse gas emissions.

The state has filed seven lawsuits against the EPA, and its members of Congress want to check the EPA's efforts to curb greenhouse gases. 'At times they're their own country,' one observer says.

For decades, California has set the pace for the country on air pollution and climate change, adopting ever-higher standards for controlling auto emissions and, more recently, greenhouse gases that scientists say have led to global warming.

The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association contends that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's office is improperly using administration staff for political purposes to oppose an initiative campaign.  The group cited an email that had been sent out by an administration official that appeared to reflect an effort to build opposition against the ballot measure.

Opponents of AB 32 argue it is a job-killer

By Union-Tribune Editorial Board,

Reports that the League of California Cities is considering asking the state government to delay implementation of AB 32 are only the latest real-world reminder that the state’s landmark 2006 anti-global warming law is downright scary to those who take a hard look at its likely effects on the economy.

Supervisor Gary C. Ovitt, San Bernardino Sun, 04/18/2010

The Board of Supervisors last week adopted a resolution supporting the California Jobs Initiative, proposed to be considered by the voters on the November 2010 ballot. If passed, implementation of Assembly Bill 32 will be suspended until California's unemployment rate is at 5.5percent or less for four consecutive calendar quarters.

We recently offered tips on "What to say to a warmer" for when Al Gore or a fellow global warming alarmist comes to dinner. This week, we suggest: "What to say to a warmist named Schwarzenegger," in case the Terminator drops by.

It has been tough to keep up with all the bad news for global warming alarmists. We're on the edge of our chair, waiting for the next shoe to drop. This has been an Imelda Marcos kind of season for shoe-dropping about global warming.

Always be inquisitive about science.  As Will Rogers said, “Everyone is ignorant; just on different subjects.”  Even an individual with a Ph.D. in science does not know everything in science.

Herewith I propose a contest to invent the next panic.

So global warming is dead, nailed into its coffin one devastating disclosure, defection and re-evaluation at a time. Which means that pretty soon we're going to need another apocalyptic scare to take its place.

To say times are tough is an understatement. California families feel under siege, with an economy that stays down while housing prices do the same.

WSJ - Opinion

California originates many ideas that roll across the country, for better or, lately, for worse. Now it has a global-warming law with no real name, just this: AB32. Last month, the California Air Resource Board (CARB) proclaimed in a report that AB32 would grow 10,000 jobs. This was widely cheered as good news. That's true only if you also repeal basic market economics and the state's current business indicators.

This week, a new Ford assembly plant in central Mexico began cranking out a first for Detroit automakers: a "dual clutch" automatic transmission designed to save fuel because it emulates a stick shift, only a computer is at the helm.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s appointees at the Department of Water and Power on Wednesday evening rejected the City Council’s proposal for a 4.5% electric rate hike, opting for a larger increase that was more in line with the amount Villaraigosa had sought for his renewable energy proposal.
