Are Dickies Pants Starched

"I did not turn out the light on Saturday"

The Skeptical Environmentalist Bjorn Lomborg :

These efforts are fraught with good intentions. But unfortunately, this initiative is a purely symbolic gesture that gives the erroneous impression that there is easy and instant formulas to solve climate change. Even on the assumption that this Saturday 1,000 million people turn out the lights, the whole operation as a whole would be equivalent to the suspension of emissions of greenhouse gases in China for only six seconds. In economic terms, environmental benefits and humanitarian efforts throughout the developed world amount to no more than £ 10,000 [about 10,752 euros at current exchange rates].

The campaign does not ask anyone to do something that will cost more, and without heating, air conditioning, telephones, internet or hot food. Presumably, if someone sits at home watching television with heating and the computer running, you can claim to have taken part in a response to global warming, provided you keep the lights in your home. The symbolism is almost perverse. addition, the initiative could result in higher pollution together than if we just leave the lights on.

How To Change Front Struts Jeep Liberty

So this is it! Hmmm ...

Gradually the shed politico-media-environmentalist is taking off the masks.

"Does not remove the democratic process Seem To Be Working, " I said. Speaking on the eve
of Joining a Protest against the headquarters of power firm E. ON in Coventry, Hansen said: "The first action That Should people take is to use the democratic process. What is frustrating people, me included, Is That Democratic Affects elections action But Then What we get is from Political Leaders greenwash.
"The Democratic process is supposed to Be one person one vote, But it turns out That money is talking louder Than the votes. "

For the prophets of doom will always be little that is done, unless they who have the whip in hand. It is obviously not care about democracy and their uses illustrated: the debate height, weight, etc. Hansen and his followers prefer not mouths covered in an alleged consensus that, apart from being unscientific, there . Supposedly the emergency, the emergency warrants. Go dictators.


Unfortunately they are not alone. Because it is not for the sake of Mother Gaia who have joined them (or backwards?) major economic and political institutions. What money talks louder than votes? Right. Trillions of dollars to build a new order :

A 'Climate Change' Trillions Plan Would Shift Likely to Form New World Economy
A United Nations document on "climate change" that Will Be Distributed to a major Environmental conclave next week Envisions a huge reordering of the world economy, likely trillions of dollars in INVOLVING Wealth transfer, millions of job-losses and input gains, new taxes, industrial relocations, new Tariffs and subsidies, and Complicated payments "for greenhouse gas abatement and carbon Schemes taxes - all under the supervision of the world body.
