The Environment

So does tomato sauce (31% according to the label). I'm sparing with its use, and generally don't use it unless the recipe calls for it.

I have this suspicion that too much sugar makes you stupid.

I wondered what the problem was...

As Republicans call for a domestic drilling surge to curb rising gas prices, Sen. Chuck Schumer writes letter to Secretary of State Clinton urging her department to convince Saudi Arabia to increase production

And everyone says the Democrats don’t have an energy plan

From some FAQ on Greenpeace USA’s website:

Don’t the deniers have a right to free speech?

There’s a difference between free speech and a campaign to deny the climate science with the goal of undermining international action on climate change. However, there’s also responsibility that goes with freedom of speech – which is based around honesty and transparency. Freedom of speech does not apply to misinformation and propaganda.

In other words, “Shut up, they explained”

Well, I’m sorry, Greenpeace USA: I, for one, will continue to support Al Gore’s right to speak out.

Good old Greenpeace! So calm, so logical, and so one-eyed. Nobody likes the Kyoto Protocol, and never did. It was simply the best that could be done at the time. You might remember that a conference in Durban, (I think) produced no result at all, and neither did one in Bali.

Attendees at both conferences trailed clouds of carbon dioxide behind them, of course, and their limousines on the ground would have added more.

It's odd how protest organisations are the ones wedded to the status quo. The environment can look after itself, and is in the process of doing so. That this will inconvenience some humans is just too bad. Live with it, and adjust.

In honour of Earth Day yesterday, I spent the entire day on Earth...

QUANTIFYING THE DEATH SPIRAL OF CLIMATE SCIENCE: “In 2008, James Hansen declared that we were at a tipping point due to ice loss at both poles which was going to decimate life on the planet…Since the same date in 2008, Arctic ice has increased by more than 15%.”

Climate Science is the equivalent to Creation Science. Some meager data supplemented with doses of ideology.
