Science used to bring us increased freedom and more opportunity. This is one of the starkest use of science to actually reduce our freedoms and limit opportunity. Because of this alone, the use of science to curtail liberty, even small abuses must be pursued diligently.
I think the part that most grabbed my attention was Ezra saying that to some folks, for the last fifteen years, the attempt to stop the world from melting has been a big part of their lives, their psyche and their philosophy. And to them you think, what now? Thanks to ezralevant.com.
It’s like pulling teeth in many countries and the ‘sky-high-energy-prices’ UK is still pursuing its energy strategy even though the horse’s head is very much dead. With creeping trepidation, the ominous-sounding Climate Change Committee makes its usual noises, shouting “Environmental blasphemy!” at every turn. It is indeed something akin to a morality play when the government…
Breathing is definitely bad for Mother Earth. This video from CFACT shows just how far eco-fascists are prepared to go to remove those pesky humans from the planet. Is it really implausible to think that if these Doha, Qatar COP18 delegates are prepared to mask their own children, what kind of punishments would be in…
The Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) is looking to shakedown anyone or everyone once again at the munificent climate change conference circuit in Doha. Apparently we have breezed past the mitigation phase, where evil, rich countries must deindustrialize. We have also blown by the adaptation phase, where evil, rich countries must build windmills at…
The cost? Well it isn’t mentioned but I suppose we can assume it costs approximately 1,000 times more than a real tree. The reason for the change? The usual: a tree is a religious symbol apparently, it might hurt some feelings perhaps, it is meant to appease the Muslim community, it’s more modern, it’s…
For hundreds of years science has improved man’s place in the world beyond belief. In the west since the 1600s the world of a hundred years hence would have been filled with unimaginable wonders. Today’s scientists however are presenting the world of a hundred years hence as hopeless. Considering how we’ve overcome problems in the past…
The price of each kilowatt of energy in the UK is about two to three times that of North America. Although both Europe and North America will be seeing increases in their energy pricing, it seems places like the UK will see more and more unaffordable energy. What this means in practical terms is that…
To think of the power that Connie Hedegaard, European Union commissioner for climate, has. With one swipe of her mighty pen she can hold back the tides on global warming. But don’t be so perturbed: she is only performing this noble deed in order to bribe the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) into submission. The…
