The Fallacy of “Climate Change” — Signs of the Times News

À lire absolument.

“Climate Change” seems to be the new buzzword these days among environmentalists and politicians who were formerly the proponents of “Global-Warming”. Unfortunately, the term “climate change” is a meaningless phrase. The climate is always changing, about as often as the weather in fact. Some years are warm, while others are cool. Some years are dry, while others are wet. There are El Niños, and there are La Niñas. There have been ice ages and warm periods throughout Earth’s history. And the term “Global Climate Change” is not much better. That simply tells us that the climate is changing everywhere in the world. Yeah, and so…?

Global Warming and the Iraq War : Climate and Capitalism

  • # Just the $600 billion that Congress has allocated for military operations in Iraq to date could have built over 9000 wind farms (at 50 MW capacity each), with the overall capacity to meet a quarter of the country’s current electricity demand. If 25% of our power came from wind, rather than coal, it would reduce US GHG emissions by over 1 billion metric tons of CO2 per year – equivalent to approximately 1/6 of the country’s total CO2 emissions in 2006.
  • # In 2006, the US spent more on the war in Iraq than the whole world spent on investment in renewable energy

Holocaust of the American Indian Peoples

Holocaust of the American Indian Peoples

The Anglo-American genocide of Indian peoples is actually part of the 500-year tradition of Spanish genocide begun by the sadistic “conquistadors” — which continues to this day.

The first section of this well-written and researched article describes the horrific sadism of Christopher Columbus and his men. The second section describes the English-American tradition of genocide.

Excerpted from Rachel’s Environment & Health Weekly newsletter, #671, with added notes where indicated.

THE CAMERA EYES IN ON ISRAEL… AND LIES « Desertpeace

Anticipating possible objections to CAMERA’s scheme, Ini conjectures that “Anti-Israel editors will seize on anything to try to discredit people who attempt to challenge their problematic assertions, and will be all too happy to pretend, and announce, that a ‘Zionist’ cabal the same one that controls the banks and Hollywood? is trying to hijack Wikipedia.”

But stealth and misrepresentation are presented as the keys to success. Ini suggests that after volunteers sign up as editors for Wikipedia they should “avoid editing Israel-related articles for a short period of time.” This strategy is intended to “avoid the appearance of being one-topic editors,” thus attracting unwanted attention.

Ini counsels that volunteers “might also want to avoid, for obvious reasons, picking a user name that marks you as pro-Israel, or that lets people know your real name.” To further conceal the identity of CAMERA-organized editors, Ini warns, “don’t forget to always log in before making [edits]. If you make changes while not logged in, Wikipedia will record your computer’s IP address” — a number that allows identification of the location of a computer connected to the Internet.

Entendez-vous parler ici ou là, d’une crise de l’alimentation ?

Va-t-on, à nouveau, être exposé à ce colonialisme misérabiliste qui consistera en l’envoie de tonne de riz à Haiti et en afrique ? Qu’on en finisse avec leur agriculture déjà quasiment éradiquée…

Commençons par en finir une fois pour toute avec les OGM.

Exposed: the great GM crops myth - Green Living, Environment - The Independent

By Geoffrey Lean, Environment Editor

Genetic modification actually cuts the productivity of crops, an authoritative new study shows, undermining repeated claims that a switch to the controversial technology is needed to solve the growing world food crisis.

The study – carried out over the past three years at the University of Kansas in the US grain belt – has found that GM soya produces about 10 per cent less food than its conventional equivalent, contradicting assertions by advocates of the technology that it increases yields.

Why are Architects and Engineers Re-examining the WTC Collapses?

Architects and Engineers are trained to design buildings that function well and withstand potentially destructive forces. However, the 3 high-rise buildings at the World Trade Center which “collapsed” on 9/11 (the Twin Towers plus WTC Building #7) presented us with a body of evidence (i.e., controlled demolition) that was clearly outside the scope of our training and experience.

In addition, the shock that hit us on that date from the repeated attacks and staggering loss of life has limited our ability to rationally evaluate what really happened. We therefore found ourselves relying solely upon the judgment of outside “experts”…
