New Fracking Process Uses No Water

The shale gas revolution has always met with hysterical opposition from the warming alarmists and the Green NGOs for the simple reason that shale gas will wipeout the uneconomic Green dreams of wind and solar power.

Unlike the Green renewables, shale gas is profitable without tax payer subsidies, provides lasting jobs and creates wealth and prosperity, as the shale gas revolution in the US has demonstrated.

Fracking has been met with the usual Green hysteria, lies and propaganda as was amply demonstrated by “Gasland” a Green anti-fracking documentary by Josh Fox that set out to prove that fracking contaminated ground water with methane by shooting footage of people setting fire to the water coming out of their taps.

The mere fact that the ground water had been contaminated with methane for decades before fracking ever started does not matter according to Fox, no surprises there then, facts have always been an irrelevance to a Green eco zealot spreading a new fear message. Read the rest of this entry

Britain Scraps Post 2020 Unilateral Climate Targets

Wind Farm subsidies are to be cut 10% as George Osborne refuses to sign for more economic suicide from Climate Change Targets post 2020.

This has been a very long time coming, but at last some sense is starting to prevail, and the rollback of the Green nightmare is starting in Britain.

George Osborne is refusing to sign up to new carbon emissions targets and insisting on a new ‘dash for gas’ as the Government prepares to unveil its latest energy plans. The Chancellor, backed by David Cameron, is understood to be determined not to commit Britain to tough new climate targets beyond 2020, arguing they will put businesses at a significant disadvantage.

Perhaps at last Osborne and Cameron have woken up to the dangers of  economic disaster that greening an economy causes, EU member state Spain being a classic case of how to wreck an economy with renewables. Read the rest of this entry

Greenland A Scary New Fear Story About Melting Ice

There are 3 things guaranteed to get the Climate Change hysteria machine to run at full throttle: polar bears, Green taxation to support the uneconomic solar and wind industries and ice, be it in the form of glacier or sheet, predictions of sea levels rising millions of feet will immediately follow, should any polar or glacial ice have the temerity to melt.

Greenland has long been a favourite base for the warmists never ending predictions of environmental Armageddon, but, and this is an important but, Greenland has not always been the ice encrusted wilderness we know today, the clue is in the name Greenland, it is not called Iceland.

British Chancellor Demands An End To Climate & Renewable Energy Targets

Britains Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne is demanding an end to the Green stupidity of Unilateral Climate and Renewables targets.

The collapse of the Green dream in Britain continues as Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne demands an end to the pointless destruction of industry and the economy by Climate and Renewables Energy targets.

Osborne upset the Green ecomentalists in October last year when at the Conservative Party conference he said: “We’re not going to save the planet by putting our country out of business“, which caused uprorar,  not only amongst the self appointed Green gaulieters, but also within the Liberal Democrat segment of the lack lustre coalition government this country is stuck with until 2015.

There are obvious splits within the coalition government, never more so than between the Liberal dominated Department of Energy and Climate Change and the Treasury. Read the rest of this entry

Greenpeace And Their Policy Of Lies And Deceit

Greenpeace activists shut down Shell petrol stations earlier this week as part of their fabircated campaign of lies and deceit aimed at stopping exploration of the Arctic

On Monday 16th July Greenpeace activists briefly shutdown a number of Shell petrol stations in London an Edinburgh, as a protest at Shells plans to prospect for oil in the Arctic.

Greenpeace’s Sara Ayech said: “The oil giant Shell is preparing, for the first time, to unleash a drilling fleet of huge vessels upon the fragile and beautiful Arctic, home of the polar bears.

No Green prophecy of environmental Armageddon in the Arctic would be complete without involving Ursus Maritimus, not only is Anthropogenic Global Warming killing off the polar bear in Green reality world, it is also making polar bears shrink.

Polar bear numbers are rising and have been for some years now:

The latest government survey of polar bears roaming the vast Arctic expanses of northern Quebec, Labrador and southern Baffin Island show the population of polar bears has jumped to 2,100 animals from around 800 in the mid-1980s.

As recently as three years ago, a less official count placed the number at 1,400.

The Inuit have always insisted the bears’ demise was greatly exaggerated by scientists doing projections based on fly-over counts, but their input was usually dismissed as the ramblings of self-interested hunters.

Norfolk Police Close Climategate Investigation

Norfolk Police have been investigating Climategate, the leaking of emails from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in November 2009.

Climategate did a huge amount of damage to the warming alarmists and the UN with their Agenda 21.

Now after 3 years Norfolk Police have closed their investigation into the leaking of the CRU emails: Read the rest of this entry

Climate Science – The Abuse Of Science For A Global Political Agenda

Science is never settled.

Science is never determined by a consensus.

Science is determined by observation, experimentation, and measurement, which as technology and human understanding progresses means that nothing can be taken for granted and,  perceived understanding  must be continually questioned in the light of new evidence and new emerging scientific methods.

The warmist meme that 97% of climate scientists agree that Anthropogenic Global Warming is real,  demonstrates the way these people manipulate data to prove their point, the real truth is that 99.27% of climate scientists do not agree.

The much hyped consensus was actually 75 out 77 cherry picked scientists agreed with a 2 minute online anonymous survey, hence the 97% consensus lie.

Climategate no matter how hard the Greens and ecomentalists try to play it down, did significant damage to the Global Warming scam, although climate scientists were already jumping ship before the Climategate story broke. Read the rest of this entry

Thailand – A Country Where Eco-Facism Has Gone Mad

Thai farmers are being fined huge sums of money for causing global warming by farming their ancestral land.

The reality of what the warming alarmists and environmentalists refer to as the “polluter pays principal” and the new post Rio+20 scam of “loss and damage” has been played out in Thailand since 2006.

The Thai government has computed a formula where already financially poor farmers are being fined crippling amounts of money for causing global warming, the fines are not only for the current generation of farmers, but also for the environmental impact their ancestors caused by cutting down trees and farming the land hundreds of years ago.

Greenpeace Co Founder CO2 Is Essential To Life On Earth

Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore: ‘Thank goodness we came along & reversed 150 million-year trend of reduced CO2 levels in global atmosphere. Long live the humans’

The whole premise of Anthropogenic Global Warming is based on the erroneous hypothesis that CO2 is a climate driver, and that as the concentration of atmospheric CO2 rose so global temperatures would increase by anything from 2 – 9 degrees Centigrade.

Since 1988 there has been no warming, despite what the Greens describe as obscene increases in CO2 emissions, global temperatures have stubbornly refused to rise.

The warmists and their junk scientists have been at a loss to explain where all the warming they predicted has gone, various ideas have been floated, the most desperate being that the deep oceans had absorbed all the heat and this would cause ocean acidification, and total wipeout of the coral reefs. Well it was something like that, the environmentalists have changed the story so many times to fit their junk science fear scenarios, it can be difficult to keep up with the latest spin.

Spain To Tax Renewable Energy

Spain to tax renewable energy which is likely to wipe out 75% of the country’s uneconomic wind and solar farms

Spain is another Euro zone economy in dire financial trouble, where the Government is pursuing austerity measures to try and regain control of the country’s spending.

The problems facing Spain are due in part to the Greening of the Spanish economy by the previous Socialist government, this has proved to the traditional socialist economic blunder with every Green job wiping out 2.2 jobs in conventional industries.

As the economic reality of the costs of Green subsidy hit home to the new Spanish Government, they decided, in January this year, to cut all Green subsidies for new renewables projects, a move that has effectively killed Green energy in Spain.

As usual the uneconomic wind and solar industries were being kept alive by Green subsidy, costing €7 billion a year and increasing the tariff deficit by €3 billion a year, in other words totally unaffordable. Read the rest of this entry
