Enviro-Kookery

From the National Post:

A couple in Laval, Que. has sparked a fierce debate over how far schools should go to teach children about environmental responsibility after their six-year-old son was shut out of a kindergarten draw to win a stuffed animal because he had an environmentally unfriendly sandwich bag in his lunchbox.

Marc-André Lanciault said he hadn’t heard of the school’s draw or any environmental policy until his wife, Isabel Théorêt, was making their son Félix a sandwich and he begged them not to put it in a plastic bag.

“He said, ‘No mommy, you can’t do that. Not a Ziploc,’ ” Mr. Lanciault said.

Through tears, the boy told his parents that the school had held a draw to win a stuffed teddy bear and only children who didn’t have any plastic sandwich bags could enter. The family normally uses Tupperware, but it was all in the dishwasher, and so they had packed their son’s ham sandwich in a plastic bag.

When Mr. Lanciault questioned his son’s teacher, she confirmed the school had staged the draw at a lunchtime daycare and that any student with a plastic sandwich bag was excluded. “You know Mr. Lanciault, it’s not very good for the environment,” the teacher told him. “We have to take care of the our planet and the bags do not decompose well.”

Every do-good leftwing fad is followed up with another equally pointless save the planet craze. The left whined that too many trees were cut down to make paper products, so plastic bags were created. Now, the left has some dupes in a tizzy over the alleged harmfulness of plastic bags.

Here’s a secret: your grocery bag makes no difference to the planet. In fact, just about everything you do has no effect on the planet.

Hyperventilating hypochondriacs have claimed that the human population is exhausting the earth’s resources. They claim that the ‘population bomb’ is ready to explode. In reality, overpopulation is another myth. The simple truth is that every person on the planet could live, comfortably, on a piece of land the size of Texas.

Of course, the crown jewel of enviro-lunacy is the hoax of global warming. Charlatans on the Left have convinced people that the very act of breathing pollutes the planet. Anthropogenic global warming is an outright lie built on junk science, intimidation tactics, and a suppression of countervailing data. The acts of human beings, over very short period of time that we have existed, have not effect our planet.

However, environmentalist proselytizers have demonized any who dare oppose them for decades. Instead of examining contrary arguments, the environmentalist Left casts aspersions on their enemies. Due to their campaign of intimidation, today, children are indoctrinated at every stop, forced to sing from the green hymnal. When it has gotten to the point where children are afraid to bring plastic bags to school, perhaps the Left has taken this latest nonsensical fad a bit too far.

Charlton Heston put the entire environmental movement is perspective in this great reading from Michael Crichton’ Jurassic Park:

Global Warming Hoax Kills

At least 30 lives have been claimed by floods in Queensland, Australia. Why was Australia so ill prepared for floods, especially in a region that has been ravaged by floods in the past? Global warming.

In a publicity stunt to raise awareness for global warming, the Maldivian Parliament met underwater last year:

The fearmonger lobby on the Left would have you believe that the Maldives will be swallowed by the ocean, due to increased water levels, caused by anthropogenic global warming. By that standard, the havoc resulting from Australia’s flooding was also caused by global warming, right? Not quite.

Christopher Booker of the UK Telegraph examined the effects the belief in global warming had on the flood in Australia:

…far from being an unprecedented “freak event”, the latest flood was nearly a foot below the level of one in 1974 and 10 feet below the record set in 1893.

For years, Australia’s warmists have been advising the authorities that the danger posed to the country by global warming is not floods but droughts: not too much rain but too little. One result, in Brisbane, was a relaxation of planning rules, to allow building on areas vulnerable to flooding in the past. As long ago as 1999, this was seen as potentially disastrous by an expert Brisbane River Flood Study (which was ignored and for years kept secret). Instead of investing in its flood defences, Australia spent $13 billion on desalination plants. (Queensland’s was recently mothballed because of the excess of rain.)

Last week’s most disturbing revelation, however, was the contribution to Brisbane’s flooding by the South East Queensland Water company’s massive release of water from its Wivenhoe dam upstream from the city (for details see “Brisbane’s Man-Made Flood Peak” on the Regionalstates blog). Instead of controlled releases through the previous week, the company allowed the level to rise to within a few inches of the top of the dam before releasing a vast volume of water, with devastating consequences for Brisbane 36 hours later.

Last spring, Queensland’s prime minister, the drought- and warming-obsessed Anna Bligh, ordered the water company not to allow any releases from the dam because water was such a “precious resource” that none must be wasted.

So there you have it; a fervent belief in global warming is directly responsible for the deaths of at least 30 people.

Unfounded global warming paranoia has disastrous results. People of faith in the environmentalist religion advocate the wholesale destruction of economies, all in an effort to fight a non-existent problem. Now there is evidence that not only are economies in the (figurative) crosshairs of the enviro-Left, so are human lives.

In Case You Missed it, Global Warming is a Hoax

The UK’s MET Office foretasted a “mild winter” this year, after predicting a “barbecue summer” for 2009. The 2009 summer was frigid, and this year’s winter is shaping up to be one of the coldest on record.

Ten years ago, global warming ‘experts’ fretted that “snowfalls are just a thing of the past” in the UK. Dr. David Viner, from the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research unit (CRU) lamented that “children just aren’t going to know what snow is.” That’s the same CRU that was exposed in climategate.

Well no need to worry, because yes, Virginia, there is snow on the ground in the UK. Reports of winter’s demise were highly exaggerated.

Global warming myth perpetuaters having been strikingly consistent in their faulty forecasts. On the other hand, meteorologist Piers Corbyn has been incredibly accurate in his long term predictions. Corbyn has been documented to be right nearly 85 per cent of the time. His predictions are catching on – farmers and other weather dependent businesses are looking to Corbyn’s predictions regularly.

Instead of endless government grants and experimental new theories, Corbyn uses a rather simple system:

He looks at the flow of particles from the Sun, and how they interact with the upper atmosphere, especially air currents such as the jet stream, and he looks at how the Moon and other factors influence those streaming particles.

He takes a snapshot of what the Sun is doing at any given moment, and then he looks back at the record to see when it last did something similar. Then he checks what the weather was like on Earth at the time – and he makes a prophecy.

The global warming crowd tells us that humans are raising global temperatures and this will lead to a catastrophe. They confidently make claims about the climate for the next 100+ years, and they cannot get the weather right tomorrow, next week, or next season.

A meteorologist with a laptop makes more accurate predictions. By looking at the sun, Piers Corbyn can accurately predict the weather, and climate trends. Who would have thought that the sun played an important role in temperatures in our solar system?

In case you missed it, GLOBAL WARMING IS A HOAX! Humans have zero effect on the climate, or close to that. Forget the sun, when volcanoes erupt they belch out more pollution than humanity can produce.

The AP made the Gulf of Mexico oil spill the story of the year. We were warned that the ecosystem would never recover. In a few months, the damage done by the oil spill is all but gone. Natural petroleum seepage puts more oil in the gulf every year than the spill did.

Humans are but a part of a very complicated ecosystem, and solar system. The power that humans have to seriously change this planet is massively overblown by  hysterical hypochondriacs on the Left.

Look at Us! Oh, and do Something About Global Warming

Students at a Canadian university decided to raise awareness about global warming (students may have missed the lecture on global warming in earth studies class, conflict resolution class or how to feel like your making a difference class) by…. taking their clothes off in public:

(there is no actual nudity in the video)

What does taking (most of) one’s clothes off have to do with global warming? Your guess is as good as mine. Give them some credit, at least they weren’t blowing up children this time.

MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING IS A FRAUD!

From the UK Times:

As the world meets in Cancun, Mexico for the latest round of United Nations talks on climate change, the influential academics called for much tougher measures to cut carbon emissions.

In one paper Professor Kevin Anderson, Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, said the only way to reduce global emissions enough, while allowing the poor nations to continue to grow, is to halt economic growth in the rich world over the next twenty years.

This would mean a drastic change in lifestyles for many people in countries like Britain as everyone will have to buy less ‘carbon intensive’ goods and services such as long haul flights and fuel hungry cars.

Prof Anderson admitted it “would not be easy” to persuade people to reduce their consumption of goods

He said politicians should consider a rationing system similar to the one introduced during the last “time of crisis” in the 1930s and 40s.

This could mean a limit on electricity so people are forced to turn the heating down, turn off the lights and replace old electrical goods like huge fridges with more efficient models. Food that has travelled from abroad may be limited and goods that require a lot of energy to manufacture.

“The Second World War and the concept of rationing is something we need to seriously consider if we are to address the scale of the problem we face,” he said.

MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING IS A FRAUD! From Thomas Malthus to Paul Ehrlich, the Left has claimed that the sky is falling. In reality, human beings have not exhausted the earth’s resources, the population is not too big for the planet, and we do not control the weather.

Global warming is the latest environmentalist ploy being used by the Left to control every last facet of your life. Using junk science, the Left wants to tell you what food you can eat (and not eat), what utilities you can use and when, what cars you can drive, what light bulbs you can use, ad nauseam ad infinitum.

However, while the profits of scarcity dictate that the hoi polloi ought to live with less, how does the other half live? Americans for Prosperity released the following video, showing attendees of the aforementioned UN Climate Hoax Summit in Cancun, Mexico (alternate junket name: soon this will feel like spring break):

These anonymous bureaucrats have the gall to tell everyone else to live hand to mouth, while they go on vacations in Cancun (paid for by taxpayers (most likely American taxpayers, who cover an overwhelming percentage on the UN’s operating budget)). Why don’t they lead by example? In order to reduce carbon emissions, hows about canceling the next tropical socialist sojourn?

Apparently they missed the memo

Executing children isn’t usually an effective marketing technique.

The fascinating part about this seems to be the timing. The picture to the left is a year old, but it seems to have gone viral only days after the British 10:10 project walked into some controversy for their “explosive” advertisement about killing those who refused to confirm to reducing their carbon emissions (you know, that thing that’s on the radar of all 10 year olds.)

So, the aptly-named “ACT-Responsible” (hilarious, I know) had a conference in Cannes on climate change and AGW and how we need to save the world, blah blah blah. Ultimately, I have to agree with Ed Morrissey that this ad is more stupid than offensive. Then again, I also found the 10:10 ad more amusing than anything else.

This does offer a pretty good look into the mindset of the environmental lobby, however. Instead of relying on the science that doesn’t exist, they decide to resort to leftist scare tactics. It’s never been about helping the environment or making the world a better place; it’s about control, about duping well-meaning people into devoting money — a lot of money — and energy and time into standing up for a ridiculous clause.

In the documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle, a few of the interviewees even said that the reason global warming is such an appealing concept to scientists is because there’s no money in proving that something doesn’t exist, only in proving that something does. If they don’t find their proof, they keep going: more grants, more experience, more time, and more of Al Gore. Al Gore is a greater threat to the world than Global Warming is simply because of the suicide rate following An Inconvenient Truth.

Instead of threatening to kill children or scaring them into thinking their life’s in danger, let’s focus on the real threat: terrorism.
