The always observant British climate change skeptic and bloggerBenny Peiser, reminds us that back in 2007 the Libyan government announced the creation of what it claims is "the world's first sustainable region." It was backed Euro-environmentalists who had visions of an ecotopia on Libya's northern coast.
They called it "one of the most beautiful and little known landscapes on earth." The utopia was pushed and overseen by Col. Moummar Qaddafi's venal and corrupt son, Saif al-Islam. It had the enthusiastic endorsement by one of U.K.'s most visible climate change alarmists, Sir. Nicholas Stern and the U.K. environmental radicals.
The 2007 launch apparently was another high visibility feel good vanity and PR exercise for the eco-radicals and a love fest for Qaddafi's son Saif who hungered for the political cover.
