The American Spectator : Lyin' for Climate Indoctrination
How'd you like this guerrilla army (video) of eco-Nazis patrolling your schools, your neighborhood, or even your home? A few parents have contacted me after their children were subjected to this indoctrination effort by ACE
EU Referendum: That sinking feeling
Wind turbines around the UK are sinking into the sea because their foundations are suffering from subsidence, according to Dong Energy, a Danish wind turbine owner – relayed via Yachting News.

A wind farm off Essex and another in Liverpool Bay have been found to have the flaw and checks are to be made of turbines at Blyth, Northumberland and Robin Rigg in the Solway Firth. Up to 336 of the UK's turbines are at risk and will take £50 million to fix.

We are hardly harnessing our renewable natural resources — wind and solar — which could provide enough energy to power the entire continent. We are exposing ourselves to incredible risk by relying on foreign fossil fuels from unstable governments. We continue to belch carbon dioxide into the air, which slowly eats away at the health of our citizens.

The Future of Malaria
In light of these several observations, plus many others from all around the world -- which clearly establish the overriding importance of a country's standard of living and what it brings with it in terms of health-promoting services -- Nabi and Qader conclude that "as public health workers, it would be more justifiable for us to exert our efforts on these other [non-climatic] parameters for the eradication and control of malaria," which conclusion is clearly the correct one, as should be obvious to most rational people.
Make Birth Control, Not War
The link between environmental instability and violent conflict is made frighteningly clear in a 2009 study by researchers at Stanford University, New York University, Harvard University and the University of California, Berkeley. Extrapolating from historical correlations of temperature rise and increased armed conflict in sub-Saharan Africa, the researchers project that expected climate change alone could spur a 60 percent increase in armed conflicts by 2030.  That projection, if it came true, would translate to an additional 459,000 deaths from war in just two decades, and that is without taking population growth into account — in the fastest-growing region of the world.
