Y2Kyoto: Google Summer Camp
The hypocrisy of politicians is as a bead of sand, a pimple in the shadow of Everest compared to the hollow, fake piety of the mega rich and famous gospellers of global warming.
Those howling loudest at people to use public transport — “for the planet’s sake” — should not, per exemplum, own $400-million yachts, travel themselves by private jet, have a dozen vast mansions in a dozen countries, and hold suppers that cost $100,000 in ancient Greek temples. But they do.

Y2Kyoto: Greenpeace Did This
Well, @Greenpeace blames the massive oil palm plantation in Indonesia on "western consumerism". This was actually caused by climate policy mandating biodiesel in motor fuel. @Greenpeace & Co. did this. pic.twitter.com/kUKE4FyQEC

Y2Kyoto: YOU’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!
The global warming issue depends heavily on computer model forecasts about climate problems that greenhouse gas emissions will supposedly cause decades from now. But it turns out that climate experts and government officials have been making these kinds of forecasts for a long time, warning about things that, by now, should already have happened, if their models are as accurate as they claim.
And I think it’s time we checked how good their crystal ball turned out to be. Before we put any trust in their new forecasts, we’re entitled to see how good the old ones were.

YNoKyoto: (Not) Showing Up To Riot
The president of the Oregon Senate said Tuesday there weren’t enough votes in his majority Democratic caucus to approve a landmark climate bill that has sparked a walkout by Republicans and exacerbated tensions between urban and rural areas.
All 11 Republican senators extended their walkout involving the issue for a sixth day, denying Democrats enough lawmakers to muster a vote on the plan that calls for capping and trading pollution credits among companies.
Hundreds of protesters flooded the capitol steps to protest the GOP walkout then unexpectedly found themselves pushing back against Democratic Senate President Peter Courtney, who disclosed that the climate plan has lost support among members of his own party.
The legislation “does not have the votes on the Senate floor,” he said. “I’ve done as much as I can, and I’ll continue to try.” […]
Conservative senators have fled the state to avoid taking a vote on what would be the nation’s second statewide cap and trade program after California, saying it will kill jobs, raise the cost of fuel and gut small businesses in rural areas.
Senate Minority Leader Herman Baertschiger said in a statement that Republicans still won’t return to the Capitol until they receive further assurances from Democrats that the legislation is dead.
Good for them.

Did you know Calgary has its very own Eco Mentor? We pay them $76,094/year. No idea what they do but it sounds like a sweet gig if you can get it. Oh and when you get your property tax this week and it’s much more than last year, sleep well knowing we have an “Eco Mentor”
There’s also a Cycling coordinator, Walking coordinator, and Liveable Streets Manager on the payroll.

The Sound Of Settled Science
@Kenneth72712993 – A new tropical Atlantic subsurface temperature reconstruction indicates it was 7°C warmer than today during the Younger Dryas/Bølling-Allerød (~15,000-11,500 years ago), when CO2 concentrations hovered around 210-220 ppm.
Paper is here.

Y2Kyoto: State Of Anorexia Envirosa
Most cities and towns in the west were founded and thrived on the essential industries of logging, mining, ranching, and energy production. Somewhere along the way, the environmental industry decided those must be stopped. In a clever semantic twist, they were dubbed “extractive industries.” It sounds noble to produce food, energy, and resources needed for a prosperous society. But “extraction” sounds like pure evil – like pulling a tooth from Mother Nature. A majority of Americans who live in urban cities, not involved in those businesses, have become convinced, supporting a range of policies constricting grazing, mining, oil and gas production, and logging.
Western communities that object have been called myopic, lectured that their lifestyles are “unsustainable,” and assured that tourism would fill the gap. In fact, the “green” jobs created by preserving and protecting the “last great places” would be better. Tourists come in droves to see pristine woods, not logged forests, we were told. And the price of stopping active forest management has been over 100 million acres of national forests burned in the last 20 years.
Yet when the crowds of tourists come, bringing all that money with them, creating clogged hotels, restaurants, and roads, the same environmental industry reacts by demanding that we close these great places to tourists. If nothing else, the contradiction reveals the true agenda of people who just don’t like people. There are just too many, they think.
Y2Kyoto: Our Disappearing Wetlands
John Pomeroy warns (Saskatoon Star Phoenix) on June 15th, 2006;
Following is the opinion of the writer, a geography professor at the University of Saskatchewan and director of the centre for hydrology. He holds a Canada Research Chair in Water Resources and Climate Change.
Streams, sloughs and wetlands may not be sustainable under climate change, and the slightly milder winters anticipated under global warming may dry out the Prairies. […]
On June 5, the United Nations Environment Programme announced a study that shows the world’s desert and arid regions are at risk of becoming even more parched. Research at the University of Saskatchewan supports this, showing the Canadian Prairies could be drying out due to more moderate winters.
Well, it’s 2019 and what do ya know?
A leading Canadian water security expert says a recent Environment and Climate Change Canada report highlights the need to change how Saskatchewan designs and builds communities and infrastructure. […]
Pomeroy said his research and that of his colleagues shows some of the effects the process has already had on Saskatchewan.
He noted the province now sees 50-per-cent more multi-day rainstorms in the summer months than it did in the 1950s and pointed to the 2014 floods that caused billions of dollars of damage.
He said what stands out in particular about those floods was that they happened in June and July and were caused entirely by some 200 millimetres of rainfall, whereas most flooding has historically come with the spring melt.
“We simply never had flooding of that nature ever reported before since the western settlement of the region, nor is it noted in the traditional knowledge of the Indigenous peoples in the area,” Pomeroy said.
That’s right. He’s the same quack whose dire drought prediction I’ve been mocking for the last ten years.
