We’re determined to stop using coal to “save” the planet, but giant India helps itself to a lot more of what we spurn:

Update on Copenhagen process | The SPPI Blog

[Monckton] I am glad to say that, partly as a result of the adverse publicity which news of the proposed Copenhagen Treaty attracted, the Treaty failed at Copenhagen. However, a number of largely-unreported meetings since then, under the German Government, have taken place in Bonn, where – to summarize not unfairly – the principal provisions of the failed draft are now being introduced little by little, and by stealth. The process is similar to that by which the European tyranny, with the acquiescence of the governments of Europe, gradually accreted supreme legislative power to itself and, in effect, extinguished all but the mere appearance of democracy throughout its dismal empire. The annual public meetings, such as the Copenhagen event, continue. There was a meeting at Cancun last year, which established the bureaucratic framework for the world government by creating almost 1000 new bureaucracies. You will find more details of what was done at Cancun in a short book that I wrote for the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (www.cfact.org), which you can download from their website. There is a further meeting at Durban this year, and there will be a massively-publicized further annual meeting at Rio in December of next year, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the “Earth Summit”. There remains a continuing danger, therefore, that the transfer of power from elected hands at national level to unelected hands globally will continue to gather pace, unfortunately with at least the tacit support of most of the world’s news media, who increasingly represent only a narrow and dangerous political faction.

Lebanon and Global cooling

...last winter and this summer was really exceptional. Despite the abnormal dry fall of 2010, starting from January 2011, the region was hit by several cold fronts and snow that reached really low levels. What wasn’t normal was the cold front that hit us in March! Snow reached then levels low as 1800 feet!

Talking about this summer it was abnormally cool as well. We are used for temperature to reach at coastline around 35 degrees Celsius for really long periods and sometimes more, but this summer we barely saw 3 or 4 days with temperature around 32 degrees Celsius and the rest with temperature swinging between 29 and 30. Spending this summer in my village that is 2000 feet above sea level, I can honestly say it felts more like fall or spring than summer!

Third, it seems we will have a very early winter this year! On Wednesday next week we are expecting a sudden drop in temperature from 28 degrees Celsius to 21 on coastline with rain and snow on the very top of the highest mountains of my country that reaches 10100 feet. Those conditions are really strange in September and normally happens in mid or end of October.
