Endangered? “U.S. Death Rate Falls for 10th Straight Year” – CDC
Regulatory climate policies, by making energy scarcer and less affordable, could hold back the economic growth responsible for much of the ongoing improvement in public health and life expectancy. Michaels and Knappenberger conclude by asking: ”Is our health and welfare more endangered by U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, or by attempts to reduce them?”
David Evans, Carbon Accounting Modeler, Says It’s a Scam « JoNova
The debate about global warming has reached ridiculous proportions and is full of micro thin half-truths and misunderstandings. I am a scientist who was on the carbon gravy train, understands the evidence, was once an alarmist, but am now a skeptic. Watching this issue unfold has been amusing but, lately, worrying. This issue is tearing society apart, making fools and liars out of our politicians.
Arctic Ice Thickness Makes A Huge Gain – Global Warming Freezes More Ice
Note the huge difference in just three years. Today practically the entire Arctic cap is green…meaning an average thickness of over 3 meters. In 2008 the average thickness down about to 2m. This is all further confirmed by the current Catlin Arctic Survey
The New Nostradamus of the North: Why hotels are showing such a great interest in the "Earth Hour"
Yes, I believe Paul Brown, President of Global Brands & Commercial Services, when he says that "Hilton Worldwide is always looking for ways to reduce energy consumption” - everybody wants to cut costs. But he - and others in the hotel business - should cut out the dishonest crap about "sustainability". And Hilton Worldwide seems to take pride in announcing that they are "Shutting down business center equipment" during the earth hour. This is, of course, an outrage. Busy business executives paying a lot of money for staying at Hilton hotels are prevented from using the business centers because some stupid President of Global Brands & Commercial Services has decided to close the "equipment" during "Earth Hour".
