Delingpole: Australia shows us all the way by sacking its useless, pointless Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery

So what, exactly, were his qualifications for taking on this supremely well-paid gig?
We-e-ll, Flannery is that most dangerous of things – an English literature graduate. Yes, I know I’m an English literature graduate too, but I’m the exception to the rule: on the whole, it would not be unfair to say, English literature graduates have done more to promote the cause of climate alarmism than any other category with the possible exception of “University” of East Anglia environmental “science” graduates.

As executioner of the less fashionably patterned;

How much money does it take to eliminate 3,603 barred owls from select Pacific Northwest zones to make more room for the endangered spotted owl? Well, if you’re the federal government, $3 million over the next four years.
According to an article in the Los Angeles Times, using a permit allowing the killing of non-game birds, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plans to conduct an experiment over three states to see if by decreasing the number of barred owls (a bird that migrated to the Northwest from the East Coast) will make room for spotted owls (a bird at the center of a heated debate between loggers and environmentalists) to flourish.

If only they’d migrated from Mexico.

Lorrie Goldstein gets it;

Contrary to Immigration Minister Jason Kenney’s charge, David Suzuki wasn’t being anti-immigrant when he said Canada is “full” and that our “crazy” policy of letting more people in is “disgusting.”
He was being anti-Western.
What Suzuki meant was that it’s wrong, in his view, to move people from the Third World, where they have a small carbon footprint, to the First World, where they develop a massive carbon footprint as they progress economically.

Hey, I’ve been saying this for a long time.

In a seemingly innocuous revision of its Energy Star efficiency requirements announced June 27, the Environmental Protection Agency included an “optional” requirement for a “smart-grid” connection for customers to electronically connect their refrigerators or freezers with a utility provider.
The feature lets the utility provider regulate the appliances’ power consumption, “including curtailing operations during more expensive peak-demand times.”

Like hand into glove;

A Mongolian neo-Nazi group has rebranded itself as an environmentalist organisation fighting pollution by foreign-owned mines, seeking legitimacy as it sends swastika-wearing members to check mining permits.
[…]
Based in an office behind a lingerie store in the Mongolian capital, the shaven-headed, jackbooted Tsagaan Khass stormtroopers launch raids on mining projects, demanding paperwork or soil samples to be studied for contaminants.
“Before, we used to work in a harsh way, like breaking down doors,” the group’s leader, Ariunbold Altankhuum, 40, told Reuters. “But now, we have changed and we use other approaches, like demonstrations.”On a patrol to a quarry two hours’ drive from the capital, members wore black, SS-style Nazi uniforms complete with lightning flashes and replica Iron Crosses.

War on Everything;

Is President Obama waging a war on coal? Republicans say yes. Democrats deny it. Here’s what Bill McKibben, self-styled leader of America’s “fossil-fuel resistance,” has to say: “Recently, I had a long talk with an administration insider who kept telling me that, for the next decade, we should focus all our energies on ‘killing coal.'” Sounds like a war to me.
That wasn’t good enough for McKibben, who insisted that the administration would have “to put the same sort of thought and creative energy into killing oil and natural gas, too.” Now that’s creativity. Energy independence? “Last century’s worry,” says McKibben.

It’s not who ultimately owns the organization, it’s those they employ. This was the lead story on CTV’s “National News” March 27:

Canada only UN member to pull out of droughts and deserts convention
…documents show that the government committed to providing around $350,000 a year to the convention…
NDP foreign affairs critic Paul Dewar said the move risks further isolating Canada, by indicating that the government acts outside of “international norms.”..
Canada’s withdrawal from the convention will likely prompt more criticism of the Harper government’s handling of environmental issues…

Perspective:

…The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here…

Three hundred and fifty flipping thousand dollars makes the CTV top? Whilst so many focus on the horrors of Mother Corpse? Keep your eyes–and brain–wide open.

Examiner;

If the latest news out of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in San Francisco is accurate, those who both worry about the dangers of manmade climate change and support the legalization of marijuana are going to have to make a tough choice.
According to a report by Evan Mills, an energy analyst at the lab, the growing of marijuana indoors uses 1 percent of the U.S. electricity supply and creates 17 million metric tons of carbon dioxide every year. That’s not including the carbon dioxide produced by exhaling pot smoke.

Update: Attempts to reach Green Party leader Elizabeth May for comment on a potential party rift were unsuccessful, as Ms. May is in Labrador convincing her members to vote for a Liberal.

Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.,Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado;

Five days ago I critiqued a shoddy paper by Brysse et al. 2013 which appeared in the journal Global Environmental Change. Today I received notice from the editor-in chief and executive editor that I have been asked to “step down from the journal.” They say that it is to “give other scientists the chance to gain experience of editorial duties.”
Over the past 20 years I have served on the editorial boards of about a dozen or so academic journals. I have rolled off some when my term was up, and continued for many years with others. I have never received a mid-term request to step down from any journal. My 6 years with the GEC editorial board is not long in academia, and certainly much shorter than many other serving members.
Are my critique and the request to step down related? I can’t say. It is interesting timing to be sure.
