Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary calls for help with frostbitten owls | Tampa Bay

Indian Shores, Florida -- The Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary is experiencing a high volume of rescue calls for local birds of prey due to the recent cold fronts and extremely high winds. The sanctuary is asking for the public's help to save the birds.

The birds, primarily eastern screech owls, are particularly vulnerable to the cold weather, and the sanctuary rescued many during and after the record-breaking cold freeze last year.

A high percentage of the owls that came to the sanctuary during 2010's cold freeze didn't survive, primarily because of cold exposure and malnutrition because the cold has driven away the owls' main food sources of rodents and insects.

The Cancun corporate welfare seminar - Cancun Insider

Of course, the summit organizers couldn't bear to have any hint of skepticism in "their" meeting, out of fear that their house of cards doesn't come crashing down around them. After Lord Monckton had given an interview to a friendly group of vegans, in the process dashing their hopes that a global switch to veganism would help to reduce methane from cow farts, he was taken aside by one of the organizers and politely asked to leave!

Following a brief discussion, our good lord persuaded them to let us stay, but the World Climate Summit representative added one condition: - that Lord Monckton was not allowed to ask questions.

That is the key to this whole affair. No matter how much money is sought, no matter how many demands are made that developed countries slash their living standards and growth, no matter how outlandish the disaster claims, no matter how many scandals arise - we, the commoners, are not allowed to challenge the "consensus" by asking embarrassing questions. The UN intends to use that consensus to establish by stealth a centrally planned global economy, under the guise of protecting the environment and safeguarding impoverished people from disastrous climate change.

How Can World Cut Carbon Emissions? - Cancun Insider

Instead of worrying about carbon dioxide, we should ask: How can we make better use of the greatest resource we have yet discovered – hydrocarbons? We should not ask, How we can reduce our CO2 emissions? But rather, how we can raise CO2 emissions in the Third World, by giving them better access to the vast energy and opportunity stored in hydrocarbons – and thereby reducing their need to chop down forests and burn trees in dangerous, polluting open fires?

The best commitment the United States can make is to promise that it will do all it can to relegate the Kyoto protocol to the dustbin of history, leave UN bureaucrats to tilt at windmills – and help all still impoverished people to achieve their hopes, their dreams, their true destinies.

Leadership, Not Inaction Important Message to Send to World - Cancun Insider

The real question of the hour is this. Will this or the next Congress have the courage to do what the Senate did in 1997, voting unanimously to reject the Kyoto Accord?

One can only hope Congress will find the courage to say no to the UN, no to the negotiations in Cancun, no to climate crisis hype and hysteria. The courage, instead, to lead the world to a better tomorrow – one based on real “Hope” for the future, on actions that really will ensure better lives for billions in the developing world. THAT is the commitment that will move the process forward, and guarantee real progress for people and planet.
