French Tilt Against More Wind Farms

Leave a comment

The Japan Times  Nov. 18 2013

PARIS – Plans to dot France with wind farms are facing fierce opposition from critics worried they will blight a landscape that has helped make the country the world’s top tourist destination.

France relies heavily on nuclear power but is working to shift to renewable energy sources and triple by 2020 its number of wind turbines from the current 4,000 that are spread across 1,127 sites.

But opponents are urging the government to tread carefully so as not to damage France’s thousands of kilometers of stunningly beautiful countryside — which range from Europe’s longest strip of beaches to the peaks of the Alps.

Some critics have already won court cases outlawing turbines, and more legal challenges are on the way.

Canada Congratulates Australia for Ending Carbon Tax

By Tom Parry, CBC News Posted: Nov 15, 2013 9:16 AM ET

Paul Calandra, parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, issued a statement this week commending the move by Australia’s recently elected Prime Minister Tony Abbott.

“Canada applauds the decision by Prime Minister Abbott to introduce legislation to repeal the carbon tax,” the statement reads.

“The Australian prime minister’s decision will be noticed around the world and sends an important message.”

The Conservatives have used the carbon tax issue to great effect domestically. The government has long accused the Opposition NDP of wanting to impose “a tax on everything,” a claim NDP Leader Tom Mulcair has vehemently denied.

The Conservatives campaigned successfully against Liberal Leader Stephane Dion and his “Green Shift” policy in the 2008 election, using the same “tax on everything” line. Dion’s plan, which included a carbon tax, was derided by Harper as a cash grab and was rejected by voters at the polls.

COP19 – Now The Fifth Successive UNFCCC Failure Is Complete

Leave a comment

I truly hope that this madscam is coming to a finale and its not wishful thinking. There is so much corruption continuing as we speak and write. In our communities, our schools, our politics -local and otherwise. This mess will take a long time to clean up and its still rolling along, spreading disease.

Tory Aardvark's avatarTory Aardvark

That’s 5 UNFCCC COP failures in a row, an unprecedented record of failure, each Conference of the Parties has disintegrated faster than the COP that preceded it, with COP19 holding the current record.

There was never any doubt, from the outset that COP19 was going to be the biggest failure since records began, what has been surprising is the speed of that collapse, COP19 was effectively dead before it had begun.

It has just taken 5 days for COP19 to realize it was dead and hit the floor.

The make or break issue for COP19 was “loss and damage“, wealth redistribution to us regular folks and that great Green Socialist Barack Obama made sure that loss and damage was deader than Osama Bin Laden, before COP19 even started.

The Great Chili Cook Off – MAWT

Leave a comment

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

 

The evening of November 13th 2013 was a dark night and the winds were blowing hard with its breath hinting strongly of the winter season yet to come.  Wind Warriors gathered at the Silverdale Community Hall for the Mothers Against Wind Turbines third fund raising supper for a chili cook– off.  The entries for the competition were dominated by the men of MAWT.   Sweet, hot and spicy and in the kitchen.  The stage was set for the competition to begin for the coveted Golden Spoon award for the best chili.

Laughs, smiles and a strong sense of community Wind Warriors gathered and strengthen their resolve to battle the harms and imposition of the Wind developments.  The desert table was filled with all kinds of amazing homemade  baking and the yummy offerings were quickly sampled and devoured by all the dinners.   

The evening allowed another opportunity to honour and celebrate the life of Patricia Anne Vaughan, an amazing woman  whose death has taken her far too soon, from her 12 year old son and extended family.   The evenings raffle earnings were donated to her family in memory of her strength and spirit.  Just a few short weeks ago, the beef from Patricia’s farm was an important part of the first Spaghetti supper held and even though she was not able to attend it gave her a chance to continue the battle against the Wind turbines on her on terms. 

After much eating and socializing the winner of the Mothers Against Wind Turbines for the Golden Spoon was announced.   Joe Correia (senior) was declared the best hottie as his chili was declared the tastiest. The next  MAWT fundraising  and last supper for 2013 will be on November 27th.  Hope you can save the date and to see you there.

IWT Study – Results Statistically Significant

Leave a comment

University of Waterloo Research Chair

Hello everyone,

The attached commentary is public and may be shared.

There seems to be a lot of interest in the results of the University of Waterloo Research Chair study on IWT health effects.

Attached is a commentary which indicates the social and perceptional circumstances regarding industrial wind development in Ontario.

These circumstances are based on reports from rural residents.

Reports of IWT related health effects are international in scope.  Some of the circumstances being reported in Ontario may be similar in other jurisdictions.

It is unclear whether the Ministry of Environment will react to the evidence available and the statistically significant results reported by the University of Waterloo study.

It remains to be seen if the MOE will respond by invoking prevention and precaution, and whether there will be a pause before approving more IWT projects.

Those reporting health issues in operating projects should not be forgotten and should be given remedy as soon as possible.

If you would like a copy of the poster which reported the study results, please let me know.

Respectfully submitted,

Carmen Krogh BScPharm

……..“Climate change” is a manipulative, rubber term used to mean anything from “the climate changes” (which everyone agrees with) to “we impact the climate at least a tiny amount” (which everyone agrees with) to “we impact the climate for the better” (yes, that’s possible) to “we are making the climate much more dangerous” (which much fewer people agree with) to “we are making the climate much more dangerous and the only response is to stop using fossil fuels but also incoherently oppose nuclear power and hydroelectric power while advocating the worst-performing energy technologies, solar and wind.”

Is This the Most Anti-Science, Anti-Environmental TV Ad Ever?

Leave a comment

I love this story.  Peter Gleich is outraged how ToysRUs showed a busload of bored primary school children breaking out into jubilance when Ranger Brad revealed they were headed to the toy store not the forest.  As a mom, I cheered along with those kids.  Children need to be inspired through play, not force fed this environmental, propaganda brainwashing to support their new green ideology.  BORING!  These are children not the new youth soldiers of the green movement.

Read his article in the Huffpo here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/peter-h-gleick/is-this-the-most-anti-science-anti-environmental-tv-ad-ever_b_4243454.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003

And read this reaction on NoTricksZone:  http://notrickszone.com/2013/11/09/professor-gleick-most-offended-because-8-year-old-kids-prefer-toys-over-tree-leaf-education/

Oh and P.S.  This Peter Gleich has a few morality issues he should deal with first before he runs around pointing fingers.  http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/02/14/heartland-releases-the-peter-gleick-legal-brief/

As a mom I want to ensure the next generation will be more responsible conservationists and enviromentally aware.  However that does not include creating eco-Nazis.  Perhaps Peter Gleich prefers this ad from Greenpeace instead.
