Coal plant 'will hit African poor' - Hounslow Chronicle

Creating a new coal plant in Kent could lead to 100,000 more people in the developing world losing their water supply during dry seasons, it has been claimed.

Anti-poverty campaigners at the World Development Movement (WDM) also said the controversial plan could be responsible for up to 60,000 more people suffering from drought in Africa.

And they said about 30,000 others could lose their homes every year due to coastal flooding if the Government approves the plant at Kingsnorth on the Hoo Peninsula in Kent.

Deborah Doane, director of the WDM, said: "These figures reveal, for the first time, the devastating human impact of building a new Kingsnorth coal power station. The world's poorest people will lose their water supply, food and homes, and ultimately will die as a direct result of our desire to burn more coal.

Salazar takes heat [for failure to back global warming swindle] - The Denver Post

Wilderness Workshop executive director Sloan Shoemaker said [Dem. U.S. Rep. John Salazar's] vote was "mysterious" because the district relies so much on natural resources. He said oil and gas reserves will eventually be depleted and said that the Colorado's rivers, snowfall and wildlife habitat are threatened by global warming.

"To ignore that and fail to take action on global warming is pretty mysterious," Shoemaker said.
