World Leaders Put Off a Climate Change Treaty - Alarmist Bryan Walsh - TIME

But there's no getting around the fact that as the science of climate change grows more dire, the global political system seems increasingly unable to deal with that reality. "We don't want a global suicide pact," said Mohamed Nasheed, the president of the Maldives, a low-lying Indian Ocean nation that could be swamped by global warming—caused flooding.

Climate Research News » UK Climate Minister: “I am not a scientist”

So, what was this country to make of a visiting climate change minister from Britain who was just 39 and who wasn’t even a scientist? This point clearly intrigued the audience listening to Ed Miliband on Monday morning at Peking University.

The international climate debate as expressed in the treaty has, at least in part, been high-jacked by those who support additional international aid. Aid because of colonial exploitation, aid because of unfair trading practices, has given way to aid to repay climate debt. It should, and undoubtedly will, be the undoing of the treaty.

EAS donates copies of ‘The Wind Farm Scam’

MERIGOMISH – The Eco Awareness Society has purchased and donated copies of The Wind Farm Scam to libraries in New Glasgow, Pictou and Antigonish.
The book by Dr. John Etherington argues that wind farm technology is a wholly counter-productive and undesirable response to the problems of climate change and electricity generation. He suggests that the intermittent nature of wind power cannot generate a steady output, a fact that necessitates back-up systems from coal and gas-powered plants that significantly negate any reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, there are the ecological drawbacks, including damage to habitats and wildlife.
