Finklestein’s media council: will sceptics be censored? | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

This strongly suggests that Finkelstein believes his proposed News Media Council could be used to stop or limit news organsations from publishing reports casting doubt on global warming theory and useless measures to “stop” global warming.

I cannot see how it can be read any other way. In this aspect alone, Finkelstein’s report is alarming. Even outrageous..

No wonder Australian Climate Madness is worried. After all, Finkelstein proposes that his News Media Council regulate just such blogs as well, and even ones far smaller, with just 40 hits a day.

How frightening that this kind of censorship - or, rather, “improvement” - potentially confronts us.

Only a block from the heart of Times Square, her red and black sculptures are surrounded by an Irish pub, a parking lot and a crooked billboard advertising “Jesus Christ Superstar.” (The pub provided the electrical connection for the jacks’ pumping motion.)...

Yet Ms. Meckseper consistently grounds her work in what she called “real political dilemmas” relating to our oil-dependent economy. “A lot of my work has dealt with the wasting of resources,” she said over tea at a brasserie across the street from the installation.

Uh oh, North sea wind power a hopeless quest – it’s all about the foundations | Watts Up With That?

[RIdley] I have it on good authority from a marine engineer that keeping wind turbines upright in the gravel, tides and storms of the North Sea for 25 years is a near hopeless quest, so the repair bill is going to be horrific and the output disappointing. Already the grouting in the foundations of hundreds of turbines off Kent, Denmark and the Dogger Bank has failed, necessitating costly repairs.
