Two Defections and a Gabfest

The walls are crumbling. Science is winning. Economic armageddon is averted.

Over the weekend, the Toronto Sun reported that James Lovelock had shocked the world with his recantation of global warming hysteria. In a piece entitled Green ‘drivel’ Exposed, writer Lorrie Goldstein notes the ‘godfather’ admitted, to MSNBC in an interview 2 months ago, to having “been unduly “alarmist” about climate change. Unlike many “environmentalists,” who have degrees in political science, Lovelock, until his recent retirement at age 92, was a much-honoured working scientist and academic. Lovelock still believes anthropogenic global warming is occurring and that mankind must lower its greenhouse gas emissions, but says it’s now clear the doomsday predictions, including his own (and Al Gore’s) were incorrect.

Elsewhere, The Telegraph reports Fritz Vahrenholt, one of Germany’s earliest green energy investors, is no longer convinced that humanity is the primary cause of “catastrophic” global warming.

For many years, I was an active supporter of the IPCC and its CO2 theory. Recent experience with the UN’s climate panel, however, forced me to reassess my position. In February 2010, I was invited as a reviewer for the IPCC report on renewable energy. I realised that the drafting of the report was done in anything but a scientific manner. The report was littered with errors and a member of Greenpeace edited the final version. These developments shocked me. I thought, if such things can happen in this report, then they might happen in other IPCC reports too.

Finally, reporting on RIO-20, the globalists “sustainable development” summit held in Brazil, The Independent tagged the latest in a seemingly-never-ending series of junckets for the illuminati “a hoax that accomplished nothing.” At least by their inaction the delegates kept trillions of dollars in the pockets of people who’ve actually earned it.

EPA manipulates the FOIA to help Big Green

Ron Arnold, Washington Examiner, Sept. 6, 2013

There they go again.

“The Environmental Protection Agency has been caught placing hurdles in the path of groups it views as hostile or inconvenient to its agenda,” veteran Freedom of Information Act hurdle-jumping attorney Chris Horner told me this week.
