Yesterday, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, speaking in the Danish capital, appealed for people to start loving and caring for their world.
Addressing a congregation including Queen Margrethe of Denmark and senior international politicians he called for a scaling down of the extravagant use of energy and the amount of waste across the planet. “These things will only happen if we learn to love the world we live in,” he said.
Williams, a passionate believer in the need for control of the causes of climate change, has had strong words for those who deny that man’s activities are not responsible for the current phase of global warming.
“Don’t please listen to those who say that there is some kind of choice to be made between looking after human beings and looking after the planet. It is one of the most foolish errors around these days,” he said. (UK Guardian)
So now, on top of “idiots”, “morons”,”deniers”,”saboteurs”,”Dupes”,”flat-earthers” now we’re just fools.
Do liberals ever stop insulting people.
Is it even possible for them not to?
I seriously doubt it.
James Delingpole (UK Telegraph): Truth to left-liberals is like garlic to vampires, so I suppose it’s no wonder the world’s watermelons (green on the outside, red on the inside) have been reacting so badly to Climategate.
I think I see a future bumper sticker in that one. It made me laugh so hard. 🙂
And you have to see this as well: (No audio)
“For humanity it’s a matter of life or death,” he said. “We will not make all human beings extinct as a few people with the right sort of resources may put themselves in the right parts of the world and survive. “Professor Kevin Anderson, director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change (Jenny Fyfall)
The right resources??
By the way, the Tyndall Center looms large in the CRU “Climategate” emails.
Obama jetted to Oslo to pick his piece prize and then jetted back. And in less than week will jet back to Scandanavia to say how evil we are for polluting the world.
Did I miss something? 🙂 Or is that quite a wasteful Carbon Footprint, Mr. President.
The International Energy Agency estimates that halving global emissions by 2050 would cost $45 trillion. That is $45 trillion above the cost of fossil fuel energy that would not be spent to create wealth. That would take a big bite out of global prosperity. Much is said about the so-called “consensus” on climate science, but the economic consensus is that reducing emissions reduces economic growth.(NB)
But since a 12 Trillion dollar debt means we can spend even more to liberals in this country whats a few trillion more.
It’s all meaningless to them.
You can “save the planet” from the evil humans.
But there won’t be anyone left to afford it, or enjoy it.
Except maybe the True Believers:
But who is it that sponsors the (UK) Guardian’s Environment pages and eco conferences? Why, only that famous non-fossil-fuel company Shell. (Though I notice their logo no longer appears on top of the Guardian’s eco pages: has the Guardian decided the relationship was just too embarrassing to be, er, sustainable?)
And which company has one of the largest carbon trading desks in London, cashing in on industry currently worth around $120 billion – an industry which could not possibly exist without pan-global governmental CO2 emissions laws ? BP (which stands for British Petroleum)
And how much has Indian steel king Lakshmi Mittal made from carbon credits thanks to Europe’s Emissions Trading Scheme? £1 billion.
And which companies were the CRU scientists revealed cosying up to as early as 2000 in the Climategate emails? There’s a clue in this line here: “Had a very good meeting with Shell yesterday.”
And how much was Phil Jones, director of the discredited CRU, found to have collected in grants since 1990? £13.7 million ($22.7 million)
And why does this Executive Vice-Chairman of Rothschild’s bank sound so enthusiastic in this (frankly terrifying) letter about the prospects of the “new world order” (his phrase not mine) which result from globally regulated carbon trading?
Or why not try this blog, in which a German Green party MP is revealed being given hefty donations by a solar power company?
Or how about this tiny $7o million donation to the climate change industry from the Rockefeller Foundation?
Al Gores has a Carbon Trading Company that stands to make Billions.
Gore himself is chairman and founder of a private equity firm called Generation Investment Management (GIM). He says the London-based firm invests money from institutions and wealthy investors in companies that are becoming environmentally-friendly, to use green parlance. GIM appears to have considerable influence over major carbon credit trading firms: the U.S.-based Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) and the U.K.-based Carbon Neutral Company (CNC). CCX appears to be the only firm in the U.S. that claims to trade carbon credits.
Gore’s Senior Partner (from their website) : David Blood is Senior Partner of Generation Investment Management, a fund management business dedicated to long term investment and integrated sustainability research. Previously, David served as co-CEO and CEO of Goldman Sachs Asset Management.
The Chief Investment officer also worked for David Blood.
Chief Operating Officer’s firm was acquired by Goldman Sachs.
Now where have I heard Goldman Sachs before? 🙂
TARP Stimulus anyone?
Even though Blood left in 2004 to found GIM with Gore, who mysterious had a Movie come out 2 years later full of doom and despair and agony for everyone.
Everyone except him, of course.
The Lord of Doom has become very rich off it.
Al Gore could become world’s first carbon billionaire
(UK telegraph headline 11/3/2009)
So maybe we should all just forget what’s truth is and go where the money is, like Lord Doom.
Oh, wait, that’s what liberals think of capitalism.
My Bad 🙂
I’m such a fool. 🙂
