Study: Protecting old-growth can stave off global warming | JunkScience.com

Why specifically old-growth? Not that enhanced greenhouse warming presents a real danger anyway but if you were truly worried wouldn’t it be a lot smarter to sequester the carbon in that lumber as house frames or some long-ish term use and draw more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere growing replacement trees?

Tim Rice | Sir Tim Rice Fumes Over Britain's Wind Turbines | Contactmusic

Famed lyricist Sir Tim Rice has taken aim at the British government for backing wind turbine schemes, branding the environmental initiative "a scam".

...He tells Britain's Sunday Telegraph, "I recently declined to support a Conservative function because I'm so incensed about these wind turbines. Like all so-called climate-change doubters, I am very pro the environment, but I strongly believe that it is something that can only be cured locally. Some insane overall scheme isn't going to cure all the problems. And the money that is wasted!

"As a landowner in Scotland, I've been offered vast amounts of money to stick up wind turbines, which not only will make me richer, it will make less well-off people poorer, and will damage the environment. These schemes aren't doing any good - just making rich people richer, and it's depressing to see great areas of these useless objects up there.

"It's a scam - a con - and until the government has the brains to actually say, hang on, we've got it wrong, this is a total economic and environmental error, then I find it hard to give total support to them."
