Kyoto II is dead. EU bails out (as Australia tries to “save Earth”) « JoNova: Science, carbon, climate and tax

The End Game of the Great Global Warming Myth draws closer

With impeccable timing the Australian Government is snatching defeat from the jaws of what could have been a glorious victory. Just as Gore, activists and then Hansen admit they lost, the infighting among the big scare campaign begins, the EU pulls the pin on Kyoto, and UK news outlets are asking if a Little Ice Age is on the way…

Labor's great betrayal | Australian Climate Madness

And Labor have deluded themselves by believing that global action is just around the corner. Only blind Freddy (and Labor) think that – the evidence is clear that the chance of any global deal is retreating faster than an IPCC-fudged Himalayan glacier.

The EPA Hurts the Poor, Again

Fine, all well and good that the government wants to protect the ozone layer, but that will come as grim comfort to those whose breath literally depends on cheap inhalers, but whose bank accounts do not allow for the prescription alternative. Not that the well-off bureaucrats at the EPA would know, but to a poor family, $60 per month is a lot of money—a week’s groceries, a full tank of gas, a new pair of shoes.

The sad irony in all of this is that the American Lung Association (ALA) has vocally backed the EPA’s war on carbon, under the guise that less industrial “polluters” like coal plants will mean less lung diseases—like asthma. It’s all a perfect example of well meaning but destructive do-gooderism to target asthma inhalers as a threat to lung health.
