Holy smokes...
The new definition of
"Extremism"...that will be more destructive to America than the combined cumulative effect that every war, plague, act of hate, or natural disaster has wreaked upon our beloved country....
Wet-behind the ear lawyers who use the law to bully Americans into 'their way of thinking' [or more apt, a lack thereof]. And, BTW, the person quoted in the newspaper article chastising Alaska Governor Palin, "Kassie Siegel", is listed as a staff attorney for one of the plaintiff. Sounds like there's some personal vendetta going on...
If anyone ever wondered how much damage
a bunch of punk-ass, red-diaper-doper-baby, enviro-psycho-whacko lawyers could do with some 'free' dough in the amount of a hundred million dollars to fund an "environmental" war on the U.S. Government, read on...
...just a little taste of what to expect from the groups suing to force "
Gore's Global Warming Wealth Redistribution Racket" on America under the guise of "protecting the Polar Bears"...

Secret Negotiation between Tejon Developers and 'Big Green' Groups Sprouts Deal
...Some groups and individuals have stepped away from the negotiations. They express concern that, without consulting their members, staff of the nation's largest environmental groups secretly agreed not to participate in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process.
The Center for Biological Diversity refused to sign a second round of confidentiality agreements after concluding that their primary concerns regarding conflict between California condor habitat and plans for Tejon Mountain Village "were not being dealt with in a serious way," sources said...
...York said in an interview Tuesday, May 5, "We had a component by a Wall Street analyst showing the advantage to Tejon shareholders of reaching a master plan for development with a global environmental plan. It showed they could reach profitability far more quickly if they were not forced to waste time in court."
The Mountain Enterprise discussed that theory with Wall Street investors who own Tejon Ranch Company stock.
Though they asked not to be named, they agreed that there was likely to be benefit in being able to come to an accord with environmental groups rather than spending a decade and perhaps millions of dollars in litigation....
....okay...maybe it's just me, but that sure sounds like extortion...albeit, a well thought out scheme...go for the private investor's big pockets...with professional actuarial management...then deliver the ultimatum...give the environmentalists what they want...and save yourself $XX million dollars, or else...

* Taxpayers Foot the Bill for Frivolous Lawsuits
According to the Sacramento Bee: "Subsidized by federal tax dollars, environmental groups are filing a blizzard of lawsuits that no longer yield significant gain for the environment and sometimes infuriate federal judges and the Justice Department. During the 1990s, the U.S. Treasury paid $31.6 million in legal fees for environmental cases filed against the government."
The Capital Research Center also found that environmental fundraising groups have robbed the American taxpayers. For instance, a review of the Natural Resources Defense Council's (NRDC) financial and court records reveal that "a large percentage of its cases against the government agencies eventually are thrown out of court." These lawsuits drain the resources of the federal agencies and rob the taxpayer at the same time. Taxpayers bear the court costs when the government is sued and if the organization wins, the groups are rewarded financial judgments and court costs-all paid for by the taxpayer. And to add insult to injury, many of these organizations operate on taxpayer-funded grants to begin with.

O.K., kids...but the show's just beginning...
This lawsuit was initiated in 2005 when the first schemer made the connection between Arctic Ice Melting and Polar Bears, adding a dash of "Endangered Species Act", then quickly blend in the use of the EPA regulatory process to FORCE changes beyond the reach of Congress or the Executive branch's constitutional authority. The target date was SUPPOSED TO BE EARLY 2007, but the Interior Department postponed hearings...then...a funny happened on the way to the lawsuit...
...during the summer of 2007, peer-reviewed research started pouring in from all over the world...that DISPROVED the "man-made Global Warming" story spun up by the U.N. Wealth Redistribution Committee, and The Liar Gore. Turned out that most of the so called 'evidence' cited by the now-shrinking IPCC's science committee of 2,500...wait, make that 2,200...no, wait, make that 1,800 ...d-r-e-d-d...1,200...980...give or take...but we only need 250 to sign off on our 4th assessment to keep this Liar's Train a-rollin.

Oh, hell...it's gonna get out sooner or later...
PASADENA, Calif. - A new NASA-led study found a 23-percent loss in the extent of the Arctic's thick, year-round sea ice cover during the past two winters. This drastic reduction of perennial winter sea ice is the primary cause of this summer's fastest-ever sea ice retreat on record and subsequent smallest-ever extent of total Arctic coverage.
A team led by Son Nghiem of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., studied trends in Arctic perennial ice cover by combining data from NASA's Quick Scatterometer (QuikScat) satellite with a computing model based on observations of sea ice drift from the International Arctic Buoy Programme. QuikScat can identify and map different classes of sea ice, including older, thicker perennial ice and younger, thinner seasonal ice...
...Nghiem said the rapid decline in winter perennial ice the past two years was caused by unusual winds. "Unusual atmospheric conditions set up wind patterns that compressed the sea ice, loaded it into the Transpolar Drift Stream and then sped its flow out of the Arctic," he said. When that sea ice reached lower latitudes, it rapidly melted in the warmer waters.
"The winds causing this trend in ice reduction were set up by an unusual pattern of atmospheric pressure that began at the beginning of this century," Nghiem said.
The Arctic Ocean's shift from perennial to seasonal ice is preconditioning the sea ice cover there for more efficient melting and further ice reductions each summer. The shift to seasonal ice decreases the reflectivity of Earth's surface and allows more solar energy to be absorbed in the ice-ocean system.
...Hmmmm...
Yet, the enviro-whacko-extortionist-lawyers already had too much time invested in this boondoggle blackmail to just let it drop...sooo...if they could just convince their bankers they can still extort enough to make it worth their investment...they can keep the cash cow fat...
...hey...it's been working for the last 35 years...all they have to do is keep the MSM on board...keep the truth off the evening news...by the time the public finally wakes up....
(if ever...)...it might still work...
BTW...ahem!
I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!
Hopefully the envirowackos will have to defend their pseudo-science in court now.
