Global Warming: Every Time You Breathe A Bangladeshi Dies
GLOBAL warming scare story of the comes via the Sydney Morning Herald, in where we learn that every time you breathe a Bangladeshi dies:
We asked Australia’s best-known philiosopher, Peter Singer, how people should think about carbon emissions and climate change. He was unequivocal.
He likened Australia’s production of greenhouse gases to a country dropping bombs on Bangladesh.

Climate Gate: Politicians Investigate CRU’s Emails And The BBC Sat On The Story
FILES hacked from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) - see them here - seem to indicate an Orwellian pact between scientists to settle the scientific debate on man-made global warming.
The Washington Post sees “an intellectual circle that appears to feel very much under attack, and eager to punish its enemies”. Says Al Gorean George Monibot:
It’s no use pretending this isn’t a major blow. The emails extracted by a hacker from the climatic research unit at the University of East Anglia could scarcely be more damaging. I am now convinced that they are genuine, and I’m dismayed and deeply shaken by them.
Monibot has seen the eviedence and reached a conclusions.

Global Warming And BBC Bias With Richard Black And Ariel Magazine
CLIVE Davis spots an article by the BBC’s environment correspondent, Richard Black - read it here - in which he talks of the notion that the BBC is biased on climate change reporting.
Ask yourself this: when was the last time you saw a BBC report that questioned the science that says man-made global warming is going to cause untold devastation?
The BBC has two editorial golden rules: global warming is real and whatever happens in Israel must be the lead news story.
As Davis says: “His reflections on the aftermath - published in the house magazine, Ariel - don’t seem to be online.

Polar Bears Commit Suicide In New Cinema Advert
POLAR Bear Watch: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at polar bears in the news: Polar bears are falling from the skies and being used to illustrate how climate change activism is based on bad science.
In the Mail, Christopher Booker asks:
Are we making the most expensive mistake in history?
On the Government’s own figures, the Climate Change Act is going to cost Britain £18 billion a year - that’s £720 for every household in the country - every year from now until 2050.
Of course, the thing about global warming is that even if it is not happening now, it might happen in the future. The irony is that what Booker calls a “colossal scare story” should feature in the Mail, home to scare stories.
But we should be afraid because Plane Stupid has filmed polar bears falling from the skies – without parachutes!

Al Gore Still Used To Be The Next President of The United States
THE AL Gore effect - the one-man weather machine is Seattle. Gore’s the one who used to be the next president of the United States. Have you heard?
Former Vice President Al Gore was in Seattle Tuesday to speak at Town Hall and promote his new book, “Our Choice: Creating a Green Future.”
It’s choice? Al Fore is a man who aligns deed with word - he’s recycling his old joke at GreenBeat 2009
“I am Al Gore I used to be the next president of the United States.”

Hitler Would Have Warmed To Al Gore
NEWSWEEK loves Al Gore. Forty-six percent of their letter writers wrote on the subject of Gore, and 74 percent of them were critical but Newsweek ran only positive letters.
No big deal that a news organ is biased. But global warming is so anti fascist. Al Goreans can’t be fascists. Can they?
One missive tells us:
Propaganda by global-warming skeptics and deniers reminds me of 1944, when as an Army officer I saw living skeletons in striped pajamas. Horror stories about Nazi concentration camps suddenly rang true. I wondered how intelligent people could commit such atrocities. History records the effectiveness of Joseph Goebbels’s propaganda. I hope Al Gore and others can prevail over today’s anti–science propaganda.

Dr Who Created Al Gore, And Other Global Warming Science
GLOBAL warming news as the Times’ survey into British attitudes towards man-made climate change excite both sides of the heated debate. Richard North reviews the science.
Before he does, know that Dr Who is on the side of the Al Goreans:
GIANT MAGGOTS AS ECOLOGICAL WARNING (THE GREEN DEATH, 1973)
Doctor Who reflected growing environmental awareness in the 1970s, when Jon Pertwee battled giant, man-eating maggots created by toxic waste. The villains are the suits who run Global Chemicals, and the heroes are the hippy drop-outs of the “Nut Hutch”. It may have been a simple depiction of big issues, but for popular television (attracting about eight million viewers) aimed at a young audience, this was radical political and social drama disguised as adventure fiction.
Dr Who created Al Gore! Now read on:
LEAD item for The Times today is a survey the paper has commissioned on attitudes to global warming.

Climate Justice Fast: Global Warming Campaigners Perform Internet Comedy Show
CLIMATE Justice update: Canberra justice seeker Paul Connor tells us of his hunger strike for Gaia. It’s called - ready - Climate Justice Fast. Paul Connor fools his body into believing he’s taking food by eating ice for 40 days and 40 nights.
Ice is that stuff you make in ice machines and freezers. Unless he ships in broken bits from the ice cap? Either way, it doesn’t look good for climate justice to be collaborating with the enemy.
Here’s a video – shot on a wind-up camera - of hunger striker Paul on the lawns of Parliament House in Canberra, supported by 31-year-old Marcella Brassett –whose enjoying the sun - and 61-year-old Michael Morphett whose walked all the way from Sydney.
Watch and then let us know if you think this is real or a parody? It’s getting hard to tell:

The Placenta Teddy Bear Is The Christmas Gift That’s Part Of You
WHY not forgo eating your baby’s placenta and instead turn it into a curio, a coffee table piece, and object d’art - like a teddy.

WHAT is it about climate change campaigners that makes them so easy to dislike? Here’s one who pretty much epitomises the type. The talk is of climate justice. But do you know the rules? Who’s the judge and jury? Is there a court of appeal?

Pablo Picasso Forced To Join The 10:10 Climate Change Campaign
HOW can the dead and the war on climate change? The Guardian brings news of how Pablo Picasso is being welcomed into the movement’s green period:
Ever fancied owning an original Picasso? How about a signed one? And what if it was also something that helped the fight against global warming? Well, the dreams of one art-loving environmentalist will soon come true.
What, Pablo Picasso, father to four carbon emitting children, including Paulo, who once raced motorbikes and worked as his dad’s chauffeur?

British Law Elevates Climate Change Belief To Same Status As Relgion
AL Goreans can delight that their green beliefs are now an official religion, in the eyes of the law. One day on from the climate change spiritualists knocking at the door, global warming belief is granted the legal status of a religion.
The messenger is Tim Nicholson, 42, from Oxford, former head of sustainability at property firm Grainger plc. He tells Mr Justice Michael Burton that he was made redundant in July 2008 due to his “philosophical belief about climate change and the environment“.
Mr Burton rules that “a belief in man-made climate change … is capable, if genuinely held, of being a philosophical belief for the purpose of the 2003 Religion and Belief Regulations“.

Al Goreans Sell Inconvenient Truth Sequel As The Bible Code
GLOBAL warming is no longer the terror it once was. Even rebranding it as climate change is not having the desired efect. What we need is a religious approach. Al Gore is on it.
George Monbiot tells us:
There is no point in denying it: we’re losing. Climate change denial is spreading like a contagious disease. It exists in a sphere which cannot be reached by evidence or reasoned argument; any attempt to draw attention to scientific findings is greeted with furious invective. This sphere is expanding with astonishing speed.

The X Factor’s Jedward Will Kill Us All Says Climate Change Expert
WANT to know how the X Factor could bring about not only war with China but the end of the entire planet? Writing in the Irish Times, John Gibbons tells you:
Time to discard our delusions and get real
Shows like the X Factor fuel the fantasy that anyone could, if they tried hard enough, be the next big thing. Positive thinking sounds innocuous, even benign, but it differs from cheerfulness or normal optimism in that it often extends to believing that the world is shaped by our wants and desires, and that these can be willed, genie-like, into existence.
Stick with it:
In Generation Me, psychologist Jean Twenge points out that “we simply take it for granted that we should all feel good about ourselves, we are all special and we all deserve to follow our dreams”. Over the last 25 years, international studies have tracked a strong rise in narcissistic belief among young people.

School Nativity Features Slaughter Of The Innocents
THE GUARDIAN’S Alex Renton supports an end to babies and the causes of babies - the end of sperm banks and an end to IVF.
He tells us: “Fewer British babies would mean a fairer planet.”
No, Nick Griffin and your BNP goons – he means fairer, as in green not white. Renton is no fascist:
The worst thing that you or I can do for the planet is to have children.

Nowhere Island Brings-Tows The Artic To Britain
NOWHERE ISLAND is the work of artist Alex Hartley. To raise awareness over climate change, Mr Hartley will be taking rocks from an island in the Svalbard archipelago north of Norway by barge to Weymouth for the Olympic sailing in 2012.
The rocks will be put on a floating football pitch-sized platform to create Nowhere Island. No Where Island will then be towed by tug boat around the South West coast to Bristol.
It’s all part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad. And Mr Hartley fought off other artists to win the £500,000 commission from London 2012 and the Arts Council.
Mr Hartley says the environmental cost of towing the island was outweighed by the “poetry of the project“.
So as not to pollute his vision, we give you the story in full.

David Miliband Spreads Fear With Climate Change Map
AT London’s Science Museum, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband showing graphically how climate change “could lead to water and food shortages, mass migration and conflict if action is not taken at a landmark summit in Copenhagen in December.”
Could. Says Dave:
“The reason for publishing this map is that for many people, not only in our own country but around the world, the penny hasn’t yet dropped that this climate change challenge is real, it’s happening now.”
From “could”, we’ve got to “now”. And if it is “now”, then why does the map show us what “could” happen in the future?
The effects of climate change are not in “some far flung future” but would affect hundreds of millions of people within his lifetime, he added, unveiling the map with his brother Ed, Britain’s climate change minister.

Time To Eat The Dog: The Real Guide To Sustainable Living.
WANT to save the planet. Kill a dog. And eat it. A new book says so. The Anorak Book Club says PuppyBeef agrees.
The eco-pawprint of a pet dog is twice that of a 4.6-litre Land Cruiser driven 10,000 kilometres a year, researchers have found.
Victoria University professors Brenda and Robert Vale, architects who specialise in sustainable living, say pet owners should swap cats and dogs for creatures they can eat, such as chickens or rabbits, in their provocative new book Time to Eat the Dog: The real guide to sustainable living.

Gordon Brown Has 50 Days To Save The World From Global Warming Plague
GORDON Brown is building up the heat on global warming by telling negotiators flying to the Copenhagen climate summit that they have “50 days to save the world from global warming”.
As luck has it, these 50 days will not be interrupted by General Election, and Brown can focus his energies on telling the Major Economies Forum in London, which brings together 17 of the world’s biggest greenhouse gas-emitting countries, that there is “no plan B“.
Says Brown of the coming plagues:
“In Britain we face the prospect of more frequent droughts and a rising wave of floods The extraordinary summer heatwave of 2003 in Europe resulted in over 35,000 extra deaths.”
