Is global warming just another ‘End-of-the-World’ delusion?

Propaganda fail: Generation X on climate change: Meh
Pre-occupied with careers and families, the Gen Xers – adults in their 30s and 40s – remain almost as indifferent to climate change impacts as their parents Continue reading
Green Suicide: EU Energy Chief Oettinger Warns Of Deindustrialisation
Policies governing the European Union’s drive towards a low- carbon economy should not lose sight of the need to retain the bloc’s industrial base, Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger said in a newspaper column on Monday. Continue reading
Another flight of fancy: The Ecology of Disease
“THERE’S a term biologists and economists use these days — ecosystem services — which refers to the many ways nature supports the human endeavor. Forests filter the water we drink, for example, and birds and bees pollinate crops, both of which have substantial economic as well as biological value.“
Actually “nature” never does anything to “provide services” – that’s an artificial human construct. We exploit bees doing what they do for our advantage but that does not mean “nature” is “providing” any sort of service at all. We are simply good at exploiting that which we find around us and/or altering it to better suit ourselves. It is extremely foolish to anthropomorphize the unimproved environment and pretend it is “serving us”. What you see is what you get – exploit it or improve it because it is a dangerous and hostile environment in its unimproved state. Continue reading
Robert Zubrin: The Population Control Holocaust
There is a single ideological current running through a seemingly disparate collection of noxious modern political and scientific movements, ranging from militarism, imperialism, racism, xenophobia, and radical environmentalism, to socialism, Nazism, and totalitarian communism. Continue reading

Chip Knappenberger: EPA Overlook Improved Health & Welfare from Greenhouse Gas Emissions
“The [EPA] Proposal ignores the obvious association between increased GHG emissions and positive health and welfare benefits. GHG emissions and improving quality of life are associated because the economy runs on energy, and that energy is principally derived from fossil fuels.” Continue reading

Roger Bradbury: A World Without Coral Reefs
Woe! Gnash! Hand-wring! BS! [whoops did I type that out loud?] “IT’S past time to tell the truth about the state of the world’s coral reefs, the nurseries of tropical coastal fish stocks. They have become zombie ecosystems, neither dead nor truly alive in any functional sense, and on a trajectory to collapse within a human generation. There will be remnants here and there, but the global coral reef ecosystem — with its storehouse of biodiversity and fisheries supporting millions of the world’s poor — will cease to be.” Continue reading

Energy rationing: Tory MP calls for personal carbon-trading scheme
The chair of the British Parliament’s energy and climate change committee has called for the launch of a pilot personal carbon allowance (PCA) trading scheme, which could be based in his own constituency, and funded by the private sector and possibly the EU. Continue reading
Hmm… it appears I may owe international Greens an apology
Like most everyone I frame my opinions on personal experience, thus I habitually view environmentalists as the most miserable, obstructive, objectionable, people-hating ratbags on the planet. It now seems Australian Greens may be in a special obnoxious class of their own. Continue reading

Sweltering in the dark: a glimpse into America’s future if the greens have their way
Last weekend the Moore household was one of nearly a million homes in the Washington, D.C., area without power. The temperature was between 95 and 105 degrees and it was so humid you felt like you needed gills to breathe. Sure, I explained to my three children, we’re miserable, but look at the bright side: Think how much we’ve reduced our carbon footprint! Consider it a life lesson in what it means to live green. Continue reading
McKibben on the Global Warming Hoax
I think this is Bill being funny but he’s always so laughable who can tell?
“We can now admit it: global climate change is one big hoax. But let’s give credit to the special effects experts who have given us wildfires, downpour, and record heat this past month writes Bill McKibben. ” Continue reading

Eye-roller: Coal curse: the black side of the subsidised resources boom
A political economist and an anthropologist engaging in magical thinking. Oh, coal doesn’t contribute as much to GDP as say the insurance and financial services, they say, completely missing the fact that Australia has no other available energy resource to replace it and no means of sustaining any economy without coal-fired electrical generation. At the very least 3 out of every 4 units of electricity in this country come from coal-fired generation. We have a little hydro but the enviros managed to get water taken from that for ‘environmental flows’ (which actually means a short dash down downhill and into the sea as near-immediate waste). Continue reading

WaPo editorial: The EPA wins, for science’s sake
We’d say that means Congress needs to get off its collective butt and fix this nonsense once and for all, either by preventing USEPA (pronounced usurper?) from considering greenhouse gases or eliminating the rogue agency altogether. Naturally that isn’t how the whining WaPo sees it: Continue reading
Going It Alone After the Rio Circus
The works starts now, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon said at the conclusion of the summit on sustainable development in Rio last week. This was about the only UN statement that civil society groups seem to agree with. It is on the precise task at hand that they differ. Continue reading
