B.C. to impose carbon tax
This will of course accomplish nothing but more pain for consumers, but the government loves the tax revenue: “Environmental groups praise move to carbon tax“
More Wikipedia zealotry

Biofuel madness
“The United States and the European Union have taken a “criminal path” by contributing to an explosive rise in global food prices through using food crops to produce biofuels, the United Nations special rapporteur on the right to food said today.” “UN: Biofuel Production ‘Criminal Path’ to Global Food Crisis“ Right to food?
More nonsense from the Australian government
The UN says poor children will be hit hardest by the phantom menace. Now the Australian government says the poor elderly will be hit hardest. Which is it?
What a deal
“Researchers in Denmark … believe that wind power shaved 1 billion kroner ($167m) off Danish electricity bills in 2005. On the other hand, Danish consumers also paid 1.4 billion kroner in subsidies for wind power.” “Cheap alternatives“
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. goes bonkers
More UN nonsense
Now they’re invoking “the children” in their push for global governance: “Poor children main victims of climate change – UN“
Napolean and the Dalton Minimum
The enviros’ real enemy
“If we want to save our planet earth, to save life, to save mankind, we have a duty to put an end to the capitalist system.” “The environmentalists’ real agenda“
Surprised?
Irony
“The rationale for the provision [section 526] in the Act was to prohibit the acquisition of fuels that have “higher life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions” (CO2) than traditional fuels. However, since passage of the Act, scientists have determined producing corn-based ethanol creates more CO2 than pumping oil out of wells.” “Destructive overreaction“
The idiots who wrote this stupid law and the politicians who passed it have inadvertently banned U.S. government agencies, including the military, from purchasing the very ethanol fuel they mandated in the same law.

Al Qaeda on global warming
“Al-Zawahiri addressed several issues, including global warming — which he said reflected “how criminal, brutal and greedy the Western crusader world is, with America at the top.” He predicted that global warming would “would make the world more sympathetic to and understanding of the Muslims’ jihad against the aggressor America.”" Here. Hey, Al, chill, the planet is cooling.
Cap and trade chaos in California
“Electricity industry wrangles over California’s greenhouse gas law.” A taste of what’s to come for the whole country?
At least they’re honest about the rip off
"The costliest public public policy mistake in human history"
“Emissions trading – a weapon of mass taxation.” Trillions spent, the environment destroyed, the masses starved, the economy destroyed, mass poverty, and for what? No measurable effect on climate. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev once said, “We will bury you” (referring to the capitalist West). Now socialism, in its new green guise of environmentalism, appears about to accomplish that end, with the cowed politicians’ willing help. The religion of AGW is a dooms day mass-suicide cult.

Tidal friction
slows down the Earth’s rate of rotation about its axis by about 0.8 sec/yr. “From 1972 thru 1998 (26 years) 21 leap seconds were added” to the length of the day. But after 1998 the slowing virtually stopped: “From 1999 to the present (9 years) only 1 leap second has been added.” Conclusion: mass (ice) is accumulating at the Earth’s poles. “The ice caps are growing“
Enviro jihad against coal
“Global warming has a new battleground: coal plants.” This insanity, which is based on a false belief that CO2 is harmful, will drive us into energy poverty.
Green catastrophe
The global warming scam’s first victim: the environment. “Conservation loses out to global warming panic.” Enviros: it was necessary to destroy the environment in order to save it.
