EU makes an Environmental Oops: New ‘Green’ rules increase global warming and rainforest deforestation

Published by nwbloggers under Global Warming

You read that right. 

The new binding energy targets the EU voted on and approved to lower CO2 and make Europe more 'green' will actually increase global warming, threaten endangered species and speed the deforestation of the South East Asian rainforests.

Via the Mighty Orb:

EU green targets will damage rainforests

European union green fuel targets will accelerate the destruction of rainforests in South-East Asia and threaten the habitat of endangered species, such as the orang-utan.  

In March EU leaders agreed to set a binding climate change target to make biofuel - energy sources made from plant material - account for 10 per cent of all Europe's transport fuels by 2020.

But the European Commission has admitted that the objective, which aims to cut carbon dioxide emissions, may have the unintended consequence of speeding up the destruction of tropical rainforests and peatlands in South-East Asia - actually increasing, not reducing, global warming.

2007-04-29 Link-O-Rama: Things the MSM is NOT Educating You About…

Here goes:

  • Rewriting History a Classroom at a Time: Fred Thompson says:

    It's bad enough hearing from a distance about the bizarre anti-Semitic theories taught by heads of state as well as schools and religious leaders. Now, according to a study funded by the British government, we find out that some schools in Great Britain have stopped teaching history that is offensive to Muslim students.
    The topics that have been erased from the curriculum, the study found, include both the Nazi genocide and the Crusades. This rewriting of history through omission wasn't some government policy. It was the result of individual decisions in local schools by teachers with large populations of Muslim students. Unfortunately, many of these students have been taught by parents and mosques that the holocaust never happened and that the Crusades were an unprovoked attack on Islam by European Christians. History books that present these events in any other light, they believe, are part some giant conspiracy designed to attack their very religion.
    If anybody needs to hear these facts, it is the children who are being abused by those who are teaching the same hateful lies that have helped turn the Middle East into the self-destructive and often suicidal mess it is today.

The Climate

Published by MaxRedline under Northwest

Those little lies are really starting to add up.  You know, you're told to quit using regular lightbulbs and go for the  fluorescent.  Save energy, save the planet.  What you're never told by the environmeddlists is that fluorescent - each and every one - contains mercury.  Therefore, it's a hazardous product.  Drop one during installation, and you get to fork over thousands of dollars for haz-mat remediation - even if it's just one of those cute little squiggle compact (CFL) jobs.  Bet you've never heard that.

On the other hand, you've heard that global warming is happening on Mars - but you may not realize that it's happening at the same rate as on Earth.  Half a degree Centigrade for both planets over the past fifty years.  How does energy-hog and perennial candidate the Reverend AlGore square his view that humans are destroying the planet with the evidence from Mars?
