Stands for “plagiarism”.
McMichael’s Planetary Overload arguments rely on a Greenpeace report about global warming. His book frequently cites articles in non-peer-reviewed publications such as New Scientist and Scientific American. McMichael is, in other words, an environmentalist whose day job happens to involve the study of public health. He has no expertise in most of the topics his book discusses.
He is, of course, entitled to his personal opinions. But was he the best choice to lead an IPCC chapter? Let’s rephrase that: if one wished to deliberately stack the deck, to ensure that a certain perspective would dominate the climate bible’s first health chapter, would someone who had expressed views similar to McMichael’s not have seemed like the perfect candidate?
There is a straight line between what the UN’s 1995 climate bible told the world about health issues and what McMichael had already written in his 1993 book. Although Planetary Overload isn’t included among the 182 references listed at the end of the health chapter, entire passages of the climate bible were lifted directly from it.

“Mafia cash in on lucrative EU wind farm handouts – especially in Sicily
An ill wind is blowing over Italy’s green revolution, as the Mafia seek to capitalise on generous grants for renewable energy.”
“They rise up high above the sun-scorched countryside, looking out over hilltop villages, palm trees, neatly-tended vineyards and olive groves.
But for all their promises of a clean, green future, Italy’s windfarms have now acquired a somewhat dirtier whiff – as the latest industry to be infiltrated by the country’s mobsters.
Attracted by the prospect of generous grants designed to boost the use of alternative energies, the so-called “eco Mafia” has begun fraudulently creaming off millions of euros from both the Italian government and the European Union.
And nowhere has the industry’s reputation become more tarnished than Sicily, where windmills now dot the horizon in Mafia strongholds like Corleone, the town better known as the setting for the Godfather films.
“Nothing earns more than a wind farm,” said Edoardo Zanchini, an environmental campaigner who has investigated Mafia infiltration of the industry. “Anything that creates wealth interests the Mafia.”
It is not just Italian criminals, however, who have spotted the potential for corruption. Recent research by Kroll, the international corporate security firm, has discovered examples all over Europe of so-called “clean energy” schemes being used to to line criminals’ pockets rather than save the planet. Some involve windmills that stand derelict or are simply never built, while others are used to launder profits from other crime enterprises.”

Well if you guess at the science, you may as well guess at the numbers and effects. I’m sure the link to Star Wars would have grabbed me but they never got around to it. sarc.
The Global warning believers are the real deniers: deniers of facts.
The UN: putting 3rd world kleptocrats in the driver’s seat.
An overt, outright attempt to deceive is Fraud more than plagiarism.
The kicker is not referencing the book in the credits or footnotes.
Just another eco-grifter getting his fame on by committing fraud.
Never ever trust anything that comes out of the UN.
It is so sad to see all the trillions wasted on this SCAM, money that could go to medical research, homeless shelters, food banks, new products that have legitimacy, not squiggly dim bulbs like the fools in government that believe this crap/ Prentice/Renner. This BS has the potential to break the capitalist system which was their intent from the start. Remember the names of the clowns who fell for this SCAM next time you vote. Just try to imagine the amount of Nigerian letters that pile up at Prentice and Renners offices.
Just as I expected….
It went down not with a bang but a whimper….much like the USSR and world communism.
This has not completely ended but will feature echos for some time.
“He speaks of environmental degradation as “an unprecedented moral problem” and says people in rich countries live a wasteful, “ecologically distorted lifestyle.”
Yes,and I just bet he wants all of us peasants to change OUR lifestyles, but won’t call on the Biggies,Gore,Soros,Suzuki,etc., to alter their wasteful ways.
Although I’m sure HE rides a bicycle to and from work.
I’m waiting for Pachauri to write into the reports, excerpts from his latest pornographic novel. At that point, who knows, the reports may actually be worth reading?
Kate nails it!

I went over to the CBC’s ‘science and technology’ pages to see if they were covering this at all. Of course not,but they did have a riveting story about passing laws to make everyone paint their roof white to save the planet. We really need a’Fox News North

I don’t have a problem with the warmist’s hysteria, it all feeds the growing scepticism toward this scandal plagued area of research.
This scepticism is our best defense against a draconian abuse of power by government.

oops. wrong thread.
anyway, while I’m here, I was in the Kincardine area weekend of 28th and saw the huge wind farm there for the first time ever.

After all, its now a body bullied by 7th century barbarians into trying to force the rest of us to submit to Sharia law. The Law of social, ethical, or moral perversion. That ultimately leads to poverty, disease with war as its mistress.

I agree with your opinion Revnant Dream. Logic is a powerful tool and the freaks squealing believe that the people they are squealing to (all of us!) do not have any of that valuable commodity. This disgraceful hoax was exposed with all its running sores, pimples, oozing blisters and frothing vomit spewing from pock marked scab festering mouths; they whole flock of lying freaks should be ashamed to show themselves in the dark. How dare this porno queen say anything? He deserves to be striped (of his wealth) and locked up with his pals in a 20 degree Fahrenheit controlled cell. JMO.

“…paint their roof white to save the planet.”
A Law?! Obscene. However, having said that, ‘high albedo roof coatings’ have HUGE advantages to the buildings owner and/or tenants. Summer cooling costs are dramatically reduced, and roof membrane life is reputedly doubled.
The downside is the high cost of supply& install of the coatings.

Wow.. that about flushes the Science… The political side may be harder.
I watched the Couchiching conference Re CPAC:
I wish I actually understood what the Green Movement hopes to achieve.. All thier Solutions
Of “Pricing” have a dependency on a Global Communist Dictator. Stalin like, to force the natural pricing market out of the picture. It requires a revolution
Canada has too many useless idiot economists collecting useless data that result in useless conclusions. Pricing Ants, blades of Grass, and whale shit does not create a market … it’s feel good BS..wealth…..
Couchiching is like a Restaurant Kitchen full of head chef’s with nobody cooking because they are PhD’s not cooks.. The customers have to buy overcooked Junk food from a Roach Wagon…but nobody notices.
BTW: Paul Martin is an imbecile, lucky he inherited
Actually I had a roof re-shingled last year and chose a lighter colour. It is actually cooler in the house. Sorry to the rest of Western Canada for the cool weather. Only summer ever I have run the furnace in every month.
The Couchiching conference …….has always been and irrelevant echo chamber for the likes of self appointed elites……Margaret Atwood for example……
