World leaders from 192 countries are meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark for the summit on climate change, better known as global warming, and will spew out some 40,000 tons of carbon getting the participants to the summit and keeping them comfortable during their stay. World leaders and their staffs will need 1200 limousines while in Copenhagen and some 140 private jets will be used to bring the leaders to the summit in addition to the 15,000 delegates and officials and the 5000 journalists who will arrive by commercial transportation. The Saudi Arabian delegates are calling for an investigation into "Climategate" warning that the scandal over stolen e-mails threatens to undermine the global warming negotiations at the Copenhagen Climate Summit.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Copenhagen Climate Summit is not only based on anti-Biblical information but it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. Ironically and hypocritically, the leaders of the world are gathering to participate in the Copenhagen Climate Summit and they will break every rule they they want to put in place to save our world from global warming. For the two week summit, it is expected that all the delegates to the summit will spew out 40,000 tons of carbon which is more than 60 of the worlds smallest countries of our world will do in an entire year - and that is 60 countries combined. This whole summit and the global campaign to stop global warming has come about based on false science and anti-Biblical truth.

The Bible says that Jesus Christ created the Earth and all that is in it and He did it in six 24 hour days (Genesis 1, Colossians 1:16). The Apostle Paul wrote in that same letter to the Christians in Colosse that by Jesus Christ, all things are held together in our world. In other words, nothing can happen to this world unless Jesus Christ allows it to happen (Colossians 1:17). The Apostle Peter said in II Peter 3 that there would be those who are willfully ignorant of the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ created the worlds and all that is in them and today holds it together. That same group of people will also deny that Jesus Christ is coming back.

Global Warming is false and the Copenhagen Climate Summit contradicts the Bible but sets the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Iranian protest of Swiss minaret ban prompts apocalyptic conclusions

Anyone who wondered about Iranian aspirations got an answer when the Iranian foreign minister “spoke” with his Swiss counterpart and “expressed his hope” that her government will find a way to avoid the ban on minarets approved in the recent referendum. Do you understand? The Swiss people want something, yet the Ayatollahs don’t like it, so they dispatch their “foreign minister” to force the Swiss government to comply with Tehran’s will.

 Just like the Swiss government sucked up to Libyan leader Mohammar Gaddafi in respect to his criminal son, after the Libyan leader threatened to curb the oil supply to the country and held a few hostages, it is also expected to bow down to the Ayatollahs once they threatened to withdraw the billions they made in oil from Swiss banks. This is how the ayatollahs started to manage the sleepy and satiated Europe.

 One can only imagine what the Iranians shall be demanding of Europe once the possess nuclear weapons. Below are several possible examples.

• Cutting ties with Israel
• Cutting ties with the US, should it adopt a policy that contradicts Iranian interests
• Cutting ties with Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan
• Withdrawn European forces from Iraq and Afghanistan
• Recognizing Hamas instead of the PLO as the Palestinian people’s sole legitimate representative
• Recognizing Hezbollah as Lebanon’s representatives
• Granting a large number of work and immigration visas to Muslims
• Expelling Iranian opposition figures back to Iran
• Providing state funds for the building of mosques (with minarets, of course) and Islamic schools in any European city with a minimal number of Muslims
• Permitting Muslim women to wear a hijab (head cover), niqab (face cover) and burqa (full-body cover)
• A ban on alcohol sales in stores located at a 30-mile radius of the residence of the nearest Muslim
• An obligation to teach Islam in all European schools via a curriculum to be formulated by the Iranian embassy in every European state
• Shutting down TV channels, newspapers, and pornographic websites
• Monitoring email
• Banning the production of cell phones with cameras
• Obligating all women to wear a full-body bathing suit, including a head scarf, at the beach
• Separating men and women at beaches and swimming pools
• Banning advertisement that includes improperly dressed women
• Banning scientific publications that do not fit in with Islamic views
• Banning criticism of Islam in the media
• Separating patients at hospitals and ruling that male medical staff will only treat males, and females will only treat females
• Separating man and women at university dorms
• Passing laws that would prevent men and women from working together
• Closing strip clubs
• Closing pubs
• Closing casinos
• Closing restaurants during daytime hours during the month of Ramadan
• Banning the cultivation of pigs at all EU states
• Obligating all supermarkets and butcher shops to only sell “halal” meet
• Discounted meals to Muslims through government funding during the Ramadan and Islamic holidays
• Introducing the Sharia law
• Allowing Muslims to marry up to four women
• Allowing Muslims to perform female genital mutilation in their daughters at state hospitals and at the state’s expand
• Providing unlimited materials and know-how in the fields of chemistry and biology to Iran
• Granting Iranian products preference over imports from any other country
• Disarming and thinning out European armies
• Opening Revolutionary Guards office at any European state with a permit to import equipment without any limits or monitoring
• Granting economic incentives to any European that converts to Islam
• Granting citizenship, employment insurance and medical insurance to any Muslim immigrant the moment he arrives in Europe
• Free education to every Muslim in Europe (ranging from kindergarten to PhD)
• Opening five universities for Muslims in every European state, with studies, lectures, and research being conducted in a different Islamic language: Arabic, Turkish, Persian, Urdu, and Pashtu
• Financing the trip to the Hajj by the EU, based on lists to be submitted by Iran

 These are just some of the demands we can expect Iran to present to Europe after it acquires nuclear weapons. Turkey also threatened to withdraw funds form Swiss banks in the wake of the referendum.

States ruled by Islamic ideologies view the atheist Europe as weak, depleted, and fatigued. They view it as lacking the motivation to protect the values of democracy it brought to the world. This weak image stirs the sense of Islamic authority in Iran and in Turkey that promotes their leaders to openly express their feelings: Christians, Jews and others may live, but under the wings of Islam, as their dhimmis (ahl al-dhimmah), as long as they adhere to their dictates.

The question is when will Europe wake up to realize that it is being ruled by remote control from Tehran and possibly from Ankara, and by a not-so-remote control by the growing Muslim public within them that has the power – if and when it decided to do so – to paralyze Europe’s economy.

Science Center Intolerant of Intelligent Design

A West Coast-based group is suing a science center for its refusal to release sensitive documents.

The Washington State-based Discovery Institute had filed a request to obtain public documents from the California Science Center after the latter cancelled a contract with the American Freedom Alliance (AFA). The contract originally allowed the AFA to screen a pro-intelligent design film at the center's IMAX theater in October of this year.

In November, the center released 44 pages of documents and claimed that all the records requested by the Discovery Institute were included. However, Casey Luskin, the program officer with the institute, claims that is not true.

"Well we know for a fact that the California Science Center's claims were not true because we have actual e-mail documentation of e-mails that should have been disclosed in response to our public documents request, but were not," Luskin explains. "We obtained those e-mails through other parties that are involved in this whole issue, but the bottom line is that the California Science Center violated the California Public Records Act by not disclosing these e-mails to us. And the reason why this is important is because these e-mails show clear evidence of their intolerance and viewpoint discrimination against intelligent design."
 
A lawsuit has since been filed with the State Superior Court in Los Angeles County.

Episcopal Church: No Sign of Repentance

LOS ANGELES - The Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles elected a lesbian as assistant bishop Saturday, the second openly gay bishop in the global Anglican fellowship, which is already deeply fractured over the first.

The Rev. Mary Glasspool of Baltimore needs approval from a majority of national church leaders before she can be consecrated as assistant bishop in the Los Angeles diocese.

Still, her victory underscored a continued Episcopal commitment to accepting same-sex relationships despite enormous pressure from other Anglicans to change their stand.

The head of the Episcopal Church, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, has said she would consecrate any elected bishop as long as church rules for selection were followed.

The Episcopal Church, which is the Anglican body in the United States, caused an uproar in 2003 by consecrating the first openly gay bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire. Robinson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Breakaway Episcopal conservatives have formed a rival church, the Anglican Church in North America. Several overseas Anglicans have been pressuring the Anglican spiritual leader, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, to officially recognize the new conservative entity.

The Rev. Kendall Harmon of the theologically traditional Diocese of South Carolina, which recently voted to distance itself from the national church, said Saturday's vote would further damage relations among Episcopalians, their fellow Anglicans and other Christians.

"This decision represents an intransigent embrace of a pattern of life Christians throughout history and the world have rejected as against biblical teaching," said Harmon, an adviser to the diocesan bishop.

The 77-million-member Anglican Communion is a family of churches that trace their roots to the missionary work of the Church of England. Most overseas Anglicans are Bible conservatives.

In 2004, Anglican leaders had asked the Episcopal Church for a moratorium on electing another gay bishop while they tried to prevent a permanent break in the fellowship.

Since the request was made, some Episcopal gay priests were nominated for bishop, but none was elected before Glasspool. Last July, the Episcopal General Convention, the U.S. church's top policy making body, affirmed that gay and lesbian priests were eligible to become bishops.

Jim Naughton of The Chicago Consultation, a group of Episcopal and Anglican clergy and lay people who advocate on behalf of gays and lesbians, called Glasspool's election "a liberation."

"We've been around this issue for 30 years," said Naughton, an adviser to the Episcopal bishop of Washington. "It's unreasonable to expect us to refrain from acting on the very prayerful conclusions that we've reached, especially when we think there are issues of justice involved."

Glasspool, 55, an adviser, or canon, for eight years to the Diocese of Maryland's bishop, said in an essay on the Los Angeles diocese Web site that she had an "intense struggle" while in college with her sexuality and the call to become a priest.

"Did God hate me (since I was a homosexual), or did God love me?" she wrote. "Did I hate (or love) myself?"

She said she met her partner, Becki Sander, while working in Massachusetts, and the two have been together since 1988. When a colleague recently asked for permission to submit Glasspool's name as a candidate in Los Angeles, she agreed because she believed it was time "for our wonderful church to move on and be the inclusive church we say we are."

A graduate of Dickinson College and Episcopal Divinity School, Glasspool was ordained in 1981, and has led parishes in Annapolis, Md., Boston and Philadelphia.

The Los Angeles diocese had openings for two assistant, or suffragan, bishops.

In the election for the first vacancy Friday, the winner was the Rev. Diane M. Jardine Bruce, rector of St. Clement's-By-The-Sea Episcopal Church in San Clemente. She will be the first female bishop in the diocese.

The Los Angeles diocese has 70,000 members and covers six Southern California counties.

Climategate Reveals 'the Most Influential Tree in the World'

Leaked emails from the Climatic Research Unit show how the world's weightiest climate data has been distorted, says Christopher Booker

Coming to light in recent days has been one of the most extraordinary scientific detective stories of our time, bizarrely centred on a single tree in Siberia dubbed "the most influential tree in the world". On this astonishing tale, it is no exaggeration to say, could hang in considerable part the future shape of our civilisation. Right at the heart of the sound and fury of "Climategate" – the emails leaked from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) in East Anglia – is one story of scientific chicanery, overlooked by the media, whose implications dwarf all the rest. If all those thousands of emails and other documents were leaked by an angry whistle-blower, as now seems likely, it was this story more than any other that he or she wanted the world to see.

To appreciate its significance, as I observed last week, it is first necessary to understand that the people these incriminating documents relate to are not just any group of scientists. Professor Philip Jones of the CRU, his colleague Dr Keith Briffa, the US computer modeller Dr Michael Mann, of "hockey stick" fame, and several more make up a tightly-knit group who have been right at the centre of the last two reports of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). On their account, as we shall see at this week's Copenhagen conference, the world faces by far the largest bill proposed by any group of politicians in history, amounting to many trillions of dollars.

It is therefore vitally important that we should trust the methods by which these men have made their case. The supreme prize that they have been working for so long has been to establish that the world is warmer today than ever before in recorded history. To do this it has been necessary to eliminate a wealth of evidence that the world 1,000 years ago was, for entirely natural reasons, warmer than today (the so-called Medieval Warm Period).

The most celebrated attempt to demonstrate this was the "hockey stick" graph produced by Dr Mann in 1999, which instantly became the chief icon of the IPCC and the global warming lobby all over the world. But in 2003 a Canadian statistician, Steve McIntyre, with his colleague Professor Ross McKitrick, showed how the graph had been fabricated by a computer model that produced "hockey stick" graphs whatever random data were fed into it. A wholly unrepresentative sample of tree rings from bristlecone pines in the western USA had been made to stand as "proxies" to show that there was no Medieval Warm Period, and that late 20th-century temperatures had soared to unprecedented levels.

Although McIntyre's exposure of the "hockey stick" was upheld in 2006 by two expert panels commissioned by the US Congress, the small group of scientists at the top of the IPCC brushed this aside by pointing at a hugely influential series of graphs originating from the CRU, from Jones and Briffa. These appeared to confirm the rewriting of climate history in the "hockey stick", by using quite different tree ring data from Siberia. Briffa was put in charge of the key chapter of the IPCC's fourth report, in 2007, which dismissed all McIntyre's criticisms.

At the forefront of those who found suspicious the graphs based on tree rings from the Yamal peninsula in Siberia was McIntyre himself, not least because for years the CRU refused to disclose the data used to construct them. This breached a basic rule of scientific procedure. But last summer the Royal Society insisted on the rule being obeyed, and two months ago Briffa accordingly published on his website some of the data McIntyre had been after.

This was startling enough, as McIntyre demonstrated in an explosive series of posts on his Climate Audit blog, because it showed that the CRU studies were based on cherry-picking hundreds of Siberian samples only to leave those that showed the picture that was wanted. Other studies based on similar data had clearly shown the Medieval Warm Period as hotter than today. Indeed only the evidence from one tree, YADO61, seemed to show a "hockey stick" pattern, and it was this, in light of the extraordinary reverence given to the CRU's studies, which led McIntyre to dub it "the most influential tree in the world".

But more dramatic still has been the new evidence from the CRU's leaked documents, showing just how the evidence was finally rigged. The most quoted remark in those emails has been one from Prof Jones in 1999, reporting that he had used "Mike [Mann]'s Nature trick of adding in the real temps" to "Keith's" graph, in order to "hide the decline". Invariably this has been quoted out of context. Its true significance, we can now see, is that what they intended to hide was the awkward fact that, apart from that one tree, the Yamal data showed temperatures not having risen in the late 20th century but declining. What Jones suggested, emulating Mann's procedure for the "hockey stick" (originally published in Nature), was that tree-ring data after 1960 should be eliminated, and substituted – without explanation – with a line based on the quite different data of measured global temperatures, to convey that temperatures after 1960 had shot up.

A further devastating blow has now been dealt to the CRU graphs by an expert contributor to McIntyre's Climate Audit, known only as "Lucy Skywalker". She has cross-checked with the actual temperature records for that part of Siberia, showing that in the past 50 years temperatures have not risen at all. (For further details see the science blog Watts Up With That.)

In other words, what has become arguably the most influential set of evidence used to support the case that the world faces unprecedented global warming, developed, copied and promoted hundreds of times, has now been as definitively kicked into touch as was Mann's "hockey stick" before it. Yet it is on a blind acceptance of this kind of evidence that 16,500 politicians, officials, scientists and environmental activists will be gathering in Copenhagen to discuss measures which, if adopted, would require us all in the West to cut back on our carbon dioxide emissions by anything up to 80 per cent, utterly transforming the world economy.

Little of this extraordinary story been reported by the BBC or most of our mass-media, so possessed by groupthink that they are unable to see the mountain of evidence now staring them in the face. Not for nothing was Copenhagen the city in which Hans Andersen wrote his story about the Emperor whose people were brainwashed into believing that he was wearing a beautiful suit of clothes. But today there are a great many more than just one little boy ready to point out that this particular Emperor is wearing nothing at all.

I will only add two footnotes to this real-life new version of the old story. One is that, as we can see from the CRU's website, the largest single source of funding for all its projects has been the European Union, which at Copenhagen will be more insistent than anyone that the world should sign up to what amounts to the most costly economic suicide note in history.

The other is that the ugly, drum-like concrete building at the University of East Anglia which houses the CRU is named after its founder, the late Hubert Lamb, the doyen of historical climate experts. It was Professor Lamb whose most famous contribution to climatology was his documenting and naming of what he called the Medieval Warm Epoch, that glaring contradiction of modern global warming theory which his successors have devoted untold efforts to demolishing. If only they had looked at the evidence of those Siberian trees in the spirit of true science, they might have told us that all their efforts to show otherwise were in vain, and that their very much more distinguished predecessor was right after all.
