Lawyer calls for regulation based on massive scientific fraud
Vanessa Harvard-Williams, global head of environment with legal firm Linklaters, wants to see governments start to 'cascade' their commitments down as regulations to help business.

As, she says, 'business needs detailed regulation to be able to make the investment' in transforming towards a low carbon economy.
From the comment section
Many people don't realize what "light bulb regulation" means for all the other electric appliances:

Why on Gaia's earth should the greens allow you to drive a heavy electic vehicle around the countryside just for "fun" when they on the other hand don't allow you to have the electricity use of an ordinary lightbulb?

When pigs fly will the greens allow you to have an electric car for fun! They'll require permits to be issued for your "need" to have a car. And if you live in an suburban home, and your job is in the Metro, they'll decide you don't need a car and you'll be "ordered" to move closer there. This is their true goal, and all the talk about electric cars is just a transition phase towards that goal, they do it gradually, boiling us like frogs.
Baltimore Christian Conservative Examiner: Burger King restaurants throw doubt on global warming
I think it’s about time people start standing up for what they believe in. It seems that with our overly done PC world, no one is allowed to take any position but the official position that most liberals take. I’m not saying there aren’t conservatives who don’t believe in global warming or there aren’t liberals who don’t. However, it does fall upon those lines for the most part. Despite evidence and belief among many scientists that global warming or climate change is just not happening or not man made, many people will look at you like you have two heads if you tell them you don’t believe in global warming.

As a business decision it might not make financial sense to post your views on anything political on your business, but people should be able to stand up for what they believe in. Money after all, is not everything. I also wonder if these Burger Kings might get more business from those who believe in free speech.
Why is it OK for Pepsi and GE to endorse global warming fraud, but it's not OK for Burger King to oppose this fraud?

This BurgerKing "free speech" story is right out of George Orwell's book
'1984' where he wrote:

"..in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.."

Where would the outrage have been if the signs had read "Save the polar bears"? Then it would have been another drop in the vast 'ocean' of climate change propaganda, and nobody would have cared. Yet suddenly we are faced with an extraordinary fact at BurgerKing: someone is publicly telling the truth and not backing down!
