James Delingpole:  I feel the need to offer Wikipedia some ammunition in its quest to discredit me

...unfortunately Wikipedia is policed by climate alarmists.

When I say ‘policed’ I really do mean ‘policed’. As climate sceptics like the National Post’s Lawrence Solomon have found, there’s absolutely no point in trying to shift entries like this to a more balanced position because within moments one of Wikipedia’s gang of in-house trolls will have shifted it back to the ‘correct’ ideological perspective.

One of the most assiduous correctors is a British Green party activist called William Connolley, who features in some of the Climategate emails and was a founder member of Realclimate, an alarmist website originally designed by friends of Michael Mann to pump out propaganda in support of his hockey stick. By the end of last year, Solomon reported, Connolley had created or rewritten no fewer than 5,428 Wikipedia articles.

Though Connolley has had his status as a Wikipedia ‘administrator’ revoked after he was found by a disciplinary committee to have ‘misused his administrative privileges’, he remains such an indefatigable contributor to the site’s pages — especially on anything to do with climate change — that he seems to consider it a full-time job. On 17 June, for example, he was at it, on and off, from 7.17 a.m. until 11.11 p.m., making 43 comments or edits on subjects including climate sceptic Indur Goklany, the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition and Effects of Global Warming on Australia.

BALDWIN PARK, Calif. (AP) — The birthplace of California's drive-through craze has had its fill of fast food restaurants.

Amid complaints of obesity and lines of idled cars stretching into neighborhood streets, this blue-collar town is banning new drive-throughs in hopes of shedding its reputation as a haven for convenient, fatty foods.

If we're really serious about climate change, should we be building a bunch of places for idling cars?" said Sundquist.

He feels needless idling may be contributing to climate change.

EU Referendum: Better dead than REDD

What is not said is that partners with the World Bank, right from the beginning, have been the WWF and the Woods Hole Research Center, with Daniel Nepstad a lead player, at the very heart of the advocacy for the system.

It is utterly bizarre that a man who – on the one hand – argues that, if adopted, "REDD could trigger the largest flow of money into tropical forest conservation that the world has ever seen," and, on the other hand, is a direct beneficiary of that flow of money, is still regarded as a reliable source of objective advice on the state of the Amazon.
