Renewable energy is irrelevant

By Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent

OSLO, April 29 (Reuters) - A solar power project in India supplying electricity to 100,000 people will be widened to other developing nations after showing that clean energy can be cheaper than fossil fuels, a U.N. report said on Sunday.

If your fossil fuel costs more than five dollars a watt you must be living in some backwards toilet of a nation without power lines, roads, and all that other decadent western stuff.

If you repeat a lie often enough......

This story by Doyle contains the phrase "global warming" four times:

By Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent

INSIDE LONGYEARBYEN GLACIER, Norway, April 26 (Reuters) - A Norwegian glacier has shrunk on an island 1,000 km (600 miles) from the North Pole, a usually frozen fjord is ice-free and snow bunting birds have migrated back early in possible signs of global warming.

Full story

The part about the glacier "dying" is kind of funny.

Busting my Knuts

By Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent

LONGYEARBYEN, Norway (Reuters Life!) - Knut the cuddly orphan polar bear may be loveable and friendly while he's still a wee cub.....

Wild polar bears are protected around the Arctic, where many scientists say global warming is thawing their habitat.

Believers in the religion of global warming are really annoying when they habitually force eco-catechisms into every topic.

All of it

More of the same

By Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent

COAL MINE SEVEN, Svalbard, Norway (Reuters) - Fossils of a hippopotamus-like creature on an Arctic island show the climate was once like that of Florida, giving clues to risks from modern global warming, a scientist said.

 

Sluijs said forests grew in the Arctic when carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, was at about 1,000 parts per million in the atmosphere because of natural swings in the climate.

And he said such concentrations point to risks with surging modern emissions stoked by human use of fossil fuels -- greenhouse gas concentrations are at the highest in at least 650,000 years and rising fast.

Full Story

At the risk of getting repetitive here:

1) CO2 has been demonstrated to be a result rather than a cause of climate change.

2) There is no credible evidence that CO2 levels are "rising fast" and the "highest in 650,000 years" claim is based on discredited ice core data.

3) The fact that the arctic was tropical 55 million years ago is proof of the futility of trying to control the Earth's climate.

War Is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength

By Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent

OSLO (Reuters) - The world will have to axe greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050, more deeply than planned, to have an even chance of curbing global warming in line with European Union goals, researchers said on Thursday.

Full story

An 80 percent cut in world greenhouse gas emissions, including natural sources, is so many orders of magnitude beyond reality that we must now ask:

What planet is Alister Doyle from?

But his true anti-western anti-capitalist agenda is revealed in paragraph 5:

An 80 percent global cut would mean rich nations, responsible for most heat-trapping emissions from fossil fuels burnt by power plants, factories and cars, would have to axe emissions by about 95 percent below 2000 levels by 2050.

A "dangerous" 2 degree centigrade rise in temperature is the imaginary apocalyptic peril that requires us to revert to a pre-industrial agrarian lifestyle?

You can worship The Goracle all you want, it isn't going to have any effect on the sun.

It's only 37 million dollars

If Bill Gates wants to waste some pocket change on this foolishness it's his problem.

By Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent

OSLO (Reuters) - A $37.5 million seed storage plan will help safeguard crops vital for developing nations from global warming and other threats, the head of a U.N.-backed scheme said on Thursday.

The idea that yams, bananas and rice are "under imminent threat of becoming extinct" is just too silly to be taken seriously.

Minorities and the poor hardest hit

So cliché, the only thing missing is the soundtrack of chainsaws.......

By Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent

OSLO (Reuters) - Droughts, floods and rising seas linked to global warming could spur conflicts in coming decades, experts said on Monday, the eve of a first U.N. Security Council debate on climate change.

And the poor in tropical regions of Africa and Asia are likely to suffer most, perhaps creating tensions with rich nations in the temperate north which are likely to escape the worst effects of warming widely blamed on use of fossil fuels.

UPDATE 17 APRIL

Two paragraphs have been added:

"It is our view that there are many factors other than climate change that have an impact indirectly on security," said Gerald Anderson, deputy assistant secretary at the U.S. Bureau of International Organizations Affairs.  

"There are already a number of international fora for dealing with the issue, and we don't really see the Security Council as the optimal place to deal with it," he told Reuters at a U.N. meeting in Nairobi.

Added by whom and why?

You sir, are a goof

With a complete lack of respect for the deceased, Doyle continues to spout nonsense.

De Boer said that a series of U.N. climate reports this year, warning of rising seas, more droughts, floods, heatwaves and a spread of disease -- could help spur broader action.

Is this an admission that the U.N. climate reports are pure B.S.?

In lieu of quality, bury them with quantity

Alister Doyle's 2nd rant today:

A fight against global warming could work better if viewed as part of the world's economic problems and not a purely environmental headache, a draft United Nations report says.

Full story

This one is so bass ackwards it makes my head hurt. 

The study says developing nations -- such as China, India, Mexico and Brazil -- have cut the growth of their greenhouse emissions in the past 30 years by 500 million tonnes a year, for reasons other than climate.

So the inability of the developing world to consume as much energy as they planned is reason for us to cripple our economy?

Save the planet, stay home

By Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent

OSLO (Reuters) - Surging use of cars and planes will push up greenhouse gas emissions in coming decades, making the transport sector a black spot in a fight against global warming, according to a draft U.N. report.

Another load of excrement from our favorite guy at Reuters

OSLO (Reuters) - Fighting global warming will be inexpensive but governments have little time left to avert big, damaging temperature rises, a draft United Nations report shows.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070410/sc_nm/globalwarming_dc_2

When a hard core environmentalist nut with a long history of writing anti-capitalist, anti-western screeds for Al-Reuters tells me it will be "inexpensive" why should I have any doubt?

Doyle also claims:  "Greenhouse gas emissions have risen by 70 percent between 1970 and 2004...."  Funny, I don't remember a 70% increase in volcanic activity from 1970 to 2004.

The first post of a new blog

As of this moment, the latest lunacy to erupt from the word processor of Reuters Environment Correspondent Alister Doyle is here:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070404/wl_canada_nm/canada_globalwarming_words_col_1

Please feel free to go down to the bottom of the Yahoo News page where it says "RECOMMEND THIS STORY" and vote "NOT AT ALL"

Clearly the worst paragraph is:

The world's leading climate scientists, meeting in Brussels, are set to warn of more hunger in Africa, rising seas, species extinctions and a melting of Himalayan glaciers in the April 6 report about the regional impacts of climate change.
