House of holes aims to plug climate change gap | Lifestyle | Reuters
CEBU, Philippines (Reuters Life!) - Holes are the bane of any homeowner, but a Filipino engineer has built a house with hundreds of them to reduce his carbon footprint.

Nestor Archival, an advocate of simple solutions to climate change, constructed his two-storey house in Cebu City in the central Philippines with the environment in mind.

The house, riddled with square and round holes and with empty wine bottles imbedded in the ceiling, is consistently cool and well-ventilated and maximizes the use of natural light. Solar panels on the ceiling generate what little electricity is used.
American Thinker: Albert -- the Not-So Great -- Gore
Hitler fretted about racial pollution much like Gore frets about thermal pollution. People -- those creatures who religious people think have souls -- are to men like Hitler, Stalin, and Gore more like eggs. And one can't make an omelet without breaking eggs. Al is not Hitler or Stalin, of course. He is rather a pompous nothing in search of a something. He is the heir of a bigot's legacy in search of a legacy of his own. He is a boy always told that he would amount to something and intends to make that dream true, whatever the costs to mankind. He is a former Tennessee senator whose father was a Tennessee senator and who never became president because he could not carry Tennessee. He is the quintessence of irrelevance, who will continue to make outrageous statements until some grown up notices him. If that means comparing decent and ordinary businessmen, farmers, and industrialists to Nazis, fine; if it means comparing the highly dubious claims of global warming with the monstrously certain evil of the Holocaust, that's fine with him too. He just wants some attention. Poor little boy.
Reuters job opening: climate change [hoax] web editor
The post involves coordinating an externally funded project to create and run a dedicated section on the AlertNet/trust.org websites that aggregates flows of news, information, multimedia content and resources on the humanitarian impact of climate change for the public, aid workers, journalists, researchers and policymakers. The focus will be on producing content on climate change, its humanitarian impacts and the response for AlertNet and the Reuters wire, as well as expanding information flows from content partners by developing a network of contributors (aid groups, research organisations, international institutions and bloggers). The role will also involve some outreach and publicity work for the project, as well as developing the environmental strand of a new Thomson Reuters Foundation (TRF) project entitled TrustLaw, which will provide pro bono legal services and information.
American Thinker: Enough Is Enough
But for a true outrage, consider new Czar of Science, John P. Holdren, who, in a stunning display of unabashed evil, has actively advocated "compulsory abortion":
There exists ample authority under which population growth could be regulated...It has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.
If that doesn't send a chill down your spine, consider his words, "All the children who are born, beyond what would be required to keep up the population to a desired level, must necessarily perish, unless room be made for them by the death of grown persons." Let that sink in: an American official supports forced abortion and the death of "grown persons." We know what that looks like. It has been official policy for years in Communist China.
