Iceland proves humanity cannot cause global warming

Energy Answer Not Blowin' In The Wind | The Resilient Earth
Bottom line: the wind will not provide the majority of the USA's electricity, or even the East Coast's. Do not misunderstand, I think that wind power has a place in the energy future, both in America and around the world. It can play a part in almost any country's effort to achieve energy independence, but the wind alone is not a viable solution. Fatuous statements by unrealistic green-power advocates does everyone a disservice. Claims that wind power can be free and reliable are incorrect—the wind is free, the power grid must be reliable, and wind power is neither.

How on earth does it help anyone in Bristol or anyone else in the country for that matter, David Cameron, to join to together in the European Union with a bunch of nutters, anti-Semites, people who deny [dangerous anthropogenic] climate change exists, homophobes? That doesn’t help Britain.
Jake Whitney: [Now it's 19,000]
So that list of 700 actually amounts to less than 70 legitimate climate scientists, which, when measured against the approximately 19,000 that compose consensus [may we see a list of their names?], doesn't exactly equal an even debate.

In Europolitics if you are on the proper right wing, ie. you are sceptical of Europolitics and motivated more by small state government then you are immediately smeared as racist, homophobic and apparently now as a planet killer.

The only democracy available in Europe right now is social democracy.
