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.

Y2Kyoto: State Of Anorexia Envirosa

Green Police Y2Kyoto 14 Comments

Free Range Report;

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.

Y2Kyoto: The Zero Carbon State

Venezuela proves it can be done.

Millions of Venezuelans were left without running water Monday amid a series of massive blackouts, forcing President Nicolas Maduro to announce electricity rationing and school closures as the government struggles to cope with a deepening economic crisis.
 
Maduro announced 30 days of power rationing on Sunday, after his government said it was shortening the work day and keeping schools closed due to blackouts.
 
The measures are a stark admission by the government — which blamed repeated power outages in March on sabotage — that there is not enough electricity to go around, and that the power crisis is here to stay.
 
Angry Venezuelans meanwhile took to the streets of Caracas to protest the power cuts and water shortages.
 
“We have small children and we aren’t able to give them a drop of water to drink,” said Caracas resident Maria Rodriguez.
 
With no electricity, pumping stations can’t work, so water service is limited.
 
Street lights and traffic lights go dark, pumps at fuel stations stand idle, and cell phone and internet service is non-existent.

If they can do it, we can do it.

Y2Kyoto: Radical Environmentalism Turns Deadly

“Just 12 years left to act”, they said.

The manifesto left by the terrorist — whose name I don’t think deserves mentioning — is a mishmash of ideas. He calls himself an “Eco-fascist,” one who combines environmentalism, racism and authoritarianism into one repulsive package. In his mind the world is dying from over-population, but over-population of the “wrong” kind. He hates capitalism, free markets, and free trade but he loves the Communist Chinese government and fascism. He takes the racist rhetoric of Donald Trump and mixes it with Marxist rhetoric about the poor workers of the world.
 
In his fevered imagination alleged “over population” is directly tied to “mass immigration” and “sub-replacement fertility” among whites. The culprits who deserve the blame, he says, are the “corporate entities” who “invited” immigrants to “replace the White people.” It’s Paul Ehrlich meets Adolph Hitler, Bernie Sanders in cahoots with Benito Mussolini.
 
He says global warming and immigration:
 
…Are the same issue, the environment is being destroyed by over population, we Europeans are one of the groups that are not over populating the world. The invaders are the ones over populating the world. Kill the invaders, kill the overpopulation and by doing so save the environment.
 
He calls for a form of “Green Nationalism” which will save the planet by stopping “the continued destruction of the natural environment itself through mass immigration and uncontrolled urbanization, whilst offering no true solution to either issue.”

Somewhere, Ira Einhorn is smiling. And no, that’s not meant to be funny.

Y2Kyoto: Political Science

Great Moments In Socialism Y2Kyoto 40 Comments

Via ZH;

The big danger isn’t climate change, it’s hysteria. And government, and the types who manipulate it, destroying the economy. I’m afraid that many scientists on the global warming bandwagon are there for purely selfish economic reasons. Unfortunately most science funding today is done directly and indirectly through the government. It’s a political process.
 
And if you’re a scientist who’s considered politically unreliable, who believes politically incorrect things, you’re not going to get the funding. You’re not going to get journals to publish your articles. You’re not going to get positions in universities, which are universally controlled by leftists. It’s interesting that the people who believe in AGW [anthropogenic global warming] are almost all leftists, and the people who don’t believe in it tend to be non-leftists.
