Y2Kyoto: The Global Warming Tipping Point
Reaches a tipping point.
Y2Kyoto: Goodbye, Cool World
On May 4, 2007 – UN scientists gave us eight years to avoid planetary doom. That date passed yesterday, and the planet died. […] This is a particularly sad day, because it is also the 15th anniversary of UN global warming destroying the planet.
Heh.

Y2Kyoto: I’ll Miss The Polar Ice Caps
The most widely used measurements of Arctic ice extent are the daily satellite readings issued by the US National Snow and Ice Data Center, which is co-funded by Nasa. These reveal that – while the long-term trend still shows a decline – last Monday, August 25, the area of the Arctic Ocean with at least 15 per cent ice cover was 5.62 million square kilometres.
This was the highest level recorded on that date since 2006 (see graph, right), and represents an increase of 1.71 million square kilometres over the past two years – an impressive 43 per cent.
Other figures from the Danish Meteorological Institute suggest that the growth has been even more dramatic. Using a different measure, the area with at least 30 per cent ice cover, these reveal a 63 per cent rise – from 2.7 million to 4.4 million square kilometres.

World Wildlife Fund;
In addition to WWF, Leonardo sits on the board of several organizations dedicated to these issues including the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Global Green USA and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). Over the last 12 years, Leonardo has worked strategically to shift public awareness on key issues.
Leonardo DiCaprio with his friends and family used the private Sony jet to fly back and forth Los Angeles to New York last year as if it were a yellow taxi.
Amy Pascal approved hundreds of thousands of dollars to ferry Leo, his mother, his manager, his manager’s brother, and Leo’s posse pals in and out of New York. They left a carbon footprint the size of Godzilla’s left foot.

CWG’s Matt Rogers analyzed Washington, D.C.’s coldest high, low and average temperature each winter starting in 2000. What he found was that “our winters are indeed trending colder in terms of the coldest readings.”

Political winds are shifting – David Cameron;
….The 2008 Climate Change Act is Labour policy of the worst sort. It has enslaved the energy producers to the state with progressively complex regulation that is leading to bankruptcies and nationalisation. It has enslaved the UK government to unrepresentative Green NGOs and their continual whining about CO2 emissions and renewable energy. It is time for Britain to stand up for itself once again.
….Conservatives are in favour of small government and a fair society. Why should pensioners pay more for their electricity in order to line the pockets of wealthy land owners?

Things you’ll never see on the CBC: Swiss voters Sunday overwhelmingly rejected an initiative that would have scrapped the Alpine country’s value-added-tax system and replaced it with a carbon tax. Roughly 92% of voters opposed the initiative while 8% supported the measure.

Almost immediately after coming to office Abbott sacked Professor Tim Flannery from his $180,000-a-year part-time Chief Climate Commissioner position and dismantled the agency. A prelude to getting rid of the Carbon Tax. It’s now the turn of Flannery’s warmist buddies at the CSIRO to feel the axe.
