This so-called “verse” doesn’t even pass the sniff test. It’s not even close to the theology that appears throughout the Bible. It does however, match the theology promoted by liberal environmentalists.
I guess they think that’s enough. It’s not.
(CNSNews.com) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is fond of quoting a particular passage of Scripture. The [...]

NRT gets a bit upset.
Last year, the Heartland Institute (a US climate-change denial thinktank) published a list of 500 scientists they say disagree with the central theses of anthropogenic global warming (that the climate is changing and that it’s our fault). Unfortunately, but perhaps as should be expected from an organisation which takes money from [...]

There’s an awful lot of bull circulating about the annual Seal hunt conducted in Canada. Reality is, the campaign to ban it was not motivated by care for an animal in danger of going extinct (number were increasing), or by cruelty considerations. It was a PR stunt from start to finish, playing mainly in ignorance [...]

WhaleOil has found a new blog, “Save the Humans“. Looks like a quality piece of electronic opinionationilism. (Yep, I just made that world up :D)
 Here are my fairy lights. What do you think? They are happy smiles from the Earth. The Earth is fine.
But this is spooky. About 8:45 some neighbours rang the doorbell and [...]

From Murray (2x “R”s) - heh.
Jack if he had been shot with a rifle he’d be in hospital. At a minimum with a couple of broken ribs.
Your grasp of how vests stop bullets seems to have come from a commando comic.
If we need someone to tell us how we feel about whales we’ll let you [...]

Oh, this is funny.
A Norwegian group have done a study on the carbon emmissions of different types of meat and found that whale is the most carbon netural.
Eat a whale and save the planet, a Norwegian pro-whaling lobby said on Monday of a study showing that harpooning the giant mammals is less damaging to the [...]

Thinking for the First Time…

Murray has a great post about… well you just have to read it.
“Chemist” But co2 is a dangerous gas that drives global temperatures! We MUST reduce emmisions or DIE!
Right Wing Fascist Bastard: No it doesn’t.
“Chemist” Yes it IS!
RWFB: Mmmm no it isn’t and shouting doesn’t make you right, it just makes you loud and wrong.
“Chemist”: [...]

Now that’s Placement!

Just watching Wa$ted when an ad for a new Chrysler came on. I’m picking that TV3 are going to have some complaints, given that the car advertised was a V8!
Hm, now that I’ve walked out of the room the wife’s decided that she’d rather watch anything else on TV. Come to think of it, why [...]

Lets work our way back through this one.
DPF accuses me of misrepresenting him in my latest post on the BRT’s strapped chicken. And looking at it again, he’s right. DPF did not explicitly say that he regarded the BRT’s bogus study as proof positive that we should do nothing about climate change; instead, he simply [...]

More Oil Found

Brazil have found another massive oil field. They’re doing quite well at present, this is the second.
 A huge natural gas field has been found a short distance off Rio de Janeiro’s coastline, Petrobras, Brazil’s state-controlled oil company, says.
The company believes the new field, Jupiter, could match the recently discovered Tupi oil field in size. [...]

Those Evil Utes

I noticed that there was an article in today’s Herald, near the back (and thus probably not in the on-line version).
It was pulling apart Texas, and their apparent lack of concern for the environment. Apparently they have plenty of pick-ups (what we call utes) there. Then they had a photo of some cows being chased [...]

The Price of Oil (or Eggs)

Russel at Frogblog thinks the price of oil is too high.

It was only a matter of time but oil has touched $US100 a barrel.
Jan. 2 (Bloomberg) — Crude oil rose to $100 a barrel for the first time in New York as record global fuel consumption threatens to outpace production. Oil’s gain, extending last year’s [...]

Patterico blogs that the Californian government is looking at controlling the peasantry’s thermostats.
It appears that proposal number two — letting bureaucrats control homeowners’ thermostats — is indeed a potential reality. Earlier today I linked an article in the American Thinker written by Joseph Somsel warning of this possibility. Our friend Bradley J. Fikes saw [...]

NewsBusters reminds us that Kyoto was soundly rejected by the US long before Bush came to power.
The Treaty was agreed upon on December 11, 1997, opened for signatures by countries wishing to participate on March 16, 1998, and closed for such signatures on March 15, 1999.
It appears AFP - and, since this is a consistent [...]

This is not what I expected to find on the BBC!
At an IPCC Lead Authors’ meeting in New Zealand, I well remember a conversation over lunch with three Europeans, unknown to me but who served as authors on other chapters. I sat at their table because it was convenient.
After introducing myself, I sat in silence [...]

No Right Turn gives us yet another reason to support measures against climate change.
Consider Peru, said Smith. Its fresh water comes mostly from glacier meltwater. But by 2015 nearly all Peru’s glaciers will have been removed by global warming and its 27 million people will nearly all lack fresh water. If Peru took action now, [...]

Oops!

Reading this, I did a double take when I saw this:
The key to their growth was the environmentally-friendly cleaning products they used, which are made from citrus peel, pine and coconut and palm oil.
Palm oil being a major driving force behind deforestation, which isn’t doing orang-utangs any good.
Christine Tintinger, a keeper at Auckland Zoo, says [...]
