CO2 is not pollution

This is.

And while the 'global warming' crowd becomes the 'climate change' crowd (because the warming models are failing), we may have to deal with a future that constrains the use of mood altering drugs - due to the attendant pollution and environmental impact they cause.

Bad news for all of the zombies - they'll be without their 400mg ready made victim enhancer.

On the Road to Irrelevance

Not content to be a simple advocate, Suzuki comes forward to demonstrate how little he really matters.

While I agree with alot of his points - his words reflect a deep misunderstanding of mankind itself. And his appeal to a utopian vision of humans and bunny rabbits playing peacefully in a pristine forest, is simply misanthropic.

Above all, it seems like sweeping commentary - across sociology, ecology, pschycology, and economics - from a guy who has a PhD focused upon the private parts of fruit flies.

Suzuki presents a dreamlike state which would require decades of structural changes to the economy, and demand change to taxation, laws, and extensive regulation and transformation of the monetary system to create.

To do any of this any sooner would likely bring sweeping change and impact upon Canadians, while we watch China & India continue on their unsustainable path ('eco' means 'home' friends).

I wonder if this Marxist actually understands the implications of what he is saying, or just doesn't care. From the quiet comforts of academia, one can pretty much say anything.

And while Suzuki advocates an appeal to science, he has demonstrated the selective hearing of a zealot when it comes to science that dares to contradict him.

The man is irrelevant.

On the Other Hand

Biofuels have been heralded as a way for us energy hogs to reduce fossil fuel consumption, reduce total emissions, & provide alternative markets for farmers.

It's a load of bull.

Virtually every benefit and reason held out by government and industry why biofuel is a better energy source, is false.

The UK is ahead of the curve on this, since citizens there take time to inform themselves on the topics of the day, and politicians aren't of the sniveling Canadian variety.

Unlike manufactured lies about polar bears via Al Gore, this article details a very real - and tragic story of man's impact upon their environment.

The Faithful Weigh In

The Roman Catholic Church has always seen itself as a leader in faith and of the congregation, guiding and advising the faithful. And it is only natural that it reacts to threats.

Since the fall of Communism, the left has lacked a single, unifying, raison d'tete. Leftist ideology has simply formed along the anti-capitalism/anti-corporate line. Not that it has ever strayed.

But socialism's rail against human nature has been such a failure globally, that is has been easier for adherents to focus on specific persons or issues - as opposed to actually examining why people and societies are - in general - rejecting socialism's practices.

And climate change is an excellent proxy for this - because who better to portray Snidely Whiplash to our Nell Fenwick than of the big bad Corporations - and their evil stooge, Chimpy Bush McHitler?

The global warming prophets appeal to a large swath of people - and the natural concerns we all have have about their environment. And of the people I know who are the true believers, their faith burns as bright as a star.

Is it any wonder the Catholics have been concerned about false prophets since the beginning of their Church?

And is it surprising that the language used by the climate change converts is the same language used by politicians and ideolougues - the language of fear.

And the church's response? Clinical.
