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.”

Ron Greenslade, The Daily Express, Deadly Cancer Jabs And How Global Warming Triggers Nuclear War
The death of Natalie Morton was linked to the Express’s headline that cancer jab was a killer. Only the science was nonsense, as Ben Goldacre spots. The Guardian’s Roy Greenslade uses the story as a stick to beat the Express. But the Guardian is far from perfect when it comes to its biased reporting on science, like climate change…
SCARE story of the week went to the Daily Express for following the death of Natalie Morton with this front-page headline
JAB AS DEADLY AS THE CANCER
Readers were told:
“The cervical cancer vaccine [Cervarix] may be riskier and more deadly than the cancer it is designed to prevent, a leading expert who developed the drug has warned. She also claimed the jab would do nothing to reduce the rates of cervical cancer in the UK.
Speaking exclusively to the Sunday Express, Dr Diane Harper, who was involved in the clinical trials of the controversial drug Cervarix, said the jab was being ‘overmarketed’ and parents should be properly warned about the potential side effects.”
Gary Andrews observes:
Now, with the death of Natalie Morton, hours after she’d received the cervical cancer vaccine jab [1] was always going to lead to some interesting reporting. Some has been good, some has been bad and some has been scaremongering. Especially after the point where it was established that she died from a tumour and not the jab.

Climate Change Fear: The CO2 Monster Attacks British Children
HERE’S the new video from our British government that says climate change is going to kill you and yours, and your pets. The c02 monster is going to kill the kids in their sleep. If the daymares don’t get them first. Or the turbines.
I’m thinking of changing Anorak’s “scare stories” section to “climate change”:
Climate change sceptics are to be targeted in a hard-hitting government advertising campaign that will be the first to state unequivocally that Man is causing global warming and endangering life on Earth …
The advertisement attempts to make adults feel guilty about their legacy to their children. It features a father telling his daughter a bedtime story of “a very very strange” world with “horrible consequences” for today’s children.
Although, C02 might be just the ticket and its the oxygen that’s gonna kill yer:

Global Warming Triggered The American Samoan Earthquake
YOU remember that tsunami in American Samoa, the one caused by the shifting of the planets tectonic plates?
Well, forget hat you know. The Guardian’s Alexander Chancellor is here to tell you that it wasn’t geology what dunnit – it was global warming:
The Samoans’ community spirit and trust in each other are legendary, and they must also have trusted equally in the benevolence of the weather to build themselves houses without walls. The tsunami will have cruelly shattered that trust.
It was the weather wot dunnit.
Global Warming Makes 2016 Last Olympic Games

James Delingpole On The Golly Hockey Stick Global Warming Lie
MAN-made global warming is a lie. A lie! James Delingpole has seen the light – and the hockey stick curve:
Those of you who saw An Inconvenient Truth may remember, if you weren’t asleep by that stage, the key scene where big green Al deploys his terrifying graph to show how totally screwed we all are by man-made global warming. This graph – known as the Hockey Stick Curve – purports to show rising global temperatures through the ages. In the part representing the late twentieth century it shoots up almost vertically. To emphasise his point that this is serious and that if we don’t act NOW we’re doomed, Al Gore – wearing a wry smile which says: “Sure folks, this is kinda funny. But don’t forget how serious it is too” – climbs on to a mini-lift in order to be able to reach the top of the chart. Cue consensual gasps from his parti pris audience.

The World’s First Climate Change Refugees
CLIMATE change, aka global warming, is hitting Africa hard, What used to be called weather is now a sure sign of impending doom. Richard North reports:
“Climate change is here, it is a reality”, reports John Vidal. As one devastating drought follows another, the future is bleak for millions in east Africa, he writes.
Describing the pitiful scenes, he recounts how, after three years of disastrous rains, the families from the Borana tribe, who by custom travel thousands of miles a year in search of water and pasture, have unanimously decided to settle down.
Back in April, they packed up their pots, pans and meagre belongings, deserted their mud and thatch homes at Bute and set off on their last trek, to Yaeblo, a village of near-destitute charcoal makers that has sprung up on the side of a dirt road near Moyale.
Now they live in temporary “benders” – shelters made from branches covered with plastic sheeting. They look like survivors from an earthquake or a flood, says Vidal, but in fact these are some of the world’s first climate-change refugees.

Wind Up Earth Angel Vibrator Enlivens Bored Al Goreans
GREAT news for masturbating Al Goreans is that a new hand-cranked vibrator that makers say could save the planet and bring stimulus to Third World places, like sub-Saharan Africa and Detroit.
The eco-sex toy is dubbed the “Earth Angel” and necessitates the user charges the thing by turning a handle and adding juice to the rechargeable battery within.
It had originally been planned as a sex aid for the Third World where batteries and electricity supplies are unreliable.
And clockwork vibrators are still in use. Fact.
But the Irish manufacturers Camden Enterprises have been swamped with interest from Green followers after displaying the vibrator at the Ars Electronica [really] fair in Linz, Upper Austria, this week.

Glacier Weeps For Global Warming
THE newspapers love campaigns, what with them being the only thing that differentiates one paper from another. But even campaigns get samey, and the Daily Mail, printed on recycled doilies and written by hacks fed on drips of salt water one and OAP bile is highlighting the perils of global warming.
And beneath a picture of a glacier, the paper tells its readers:
At first glimpse it looks like any other glacier you might find in the freezing Arctic wastes of Norway. But on closer inspection an eerie face is depicted in the melting ice wall that appears to be crying a river of tears.
Yeah, glacier meting in the summer.And crying, like the icy Virgin Mary.
The striking image of the Austfonna ice cap, located on Nordaustlandet in the Svalbard archipelago, would seem certain to be heavily used by environmentalists protesting against climate change.
A bit like that striking image of the polar bears on the small chunks of ice, the pictures that looked as though the bears were warming the ice in a effort to hatch it.

Department of Energy and Climate Change Issues Weather Warning For Birmingham
A DIRE warning from our Department of Energy and Climate Change. And we learn that Birmingham is going balmy:
Energy and Climate Change Minister, David Kidney reads from the Big Bumber Book of Nu Speak:
“The Transition Plan is a route map to a low carbon country, future proofing our kids’ way of life. The UK will be the first major economy to convert to low carbon living, and the first to reap the benefits.
“As a world leader in cutting edge technology the West Midlands needs to harness its legacy of ingenuity and entrepreneurship to play a role in the shift to low carbon. The region can play a key role in this transition as a hub for low carbon manufacture, innovation and transport.”

John Prescott’s New Earth Deal Kills The Planet
MORE news on John Prescott, the former deputy Prime Minister who’s turning into Britain’s version of Al Gore.
Anorak was at the Rich Mix building in Bethnal Green, London to see John Prescott holding up his Blackberry to show off the ‘New Earth Deal‘ climate change campaign website.
Prezza then spoke about “chimate clange” and the causes of “globals warning“.
But if Prezza is to be Al Gore, he needs to select the science he will champion. first up: mobile phones kill crops:
It seems like the plot of a particularly far-fetched horror film. But some scientists suggest that our love of the mobile phone could cause massive food shortages, as the world’s harvests fail.
They are putting forward the theory that radiation given off by mobile phones and other hi-tech gadgets is a possible answer to one of the more bizarre mysteries ever to happen in the natural world – the abrupt disappearance of the bees that pollinate crops.
The theory is that radiation from mobile phones interferes with bees’ navigation systems, preventing the famously homeloving species from finding their way back to their hives. Improbable as it may seem, there is now evidence to back this up.
Mobile phones heat up the oceans
Chinese state media have of course been silent on the next environmental disaster China is causing for the world, but fortunately, the Dutch media are on top of it. While in China the number of mobile callers is rapidly nearing the half billion, a group of fifty scientists in Columbia have revealed that mobile phones contribute to global warming.
Not the batteries are the problem, but the billions of calls heat up the waves.
And what of that swanky new website Prezza is championing? Well:
Websites kill the planet
Dr. Alexander Wissner-Gross, Environmental Fellow at Harvard University studying the environmental impact of computing, says that each second of web browsing generates around 20 milligrams of CO2…
Shocker Statistic:
% of world’s greenhouse gases created by the manufacturing, use and disposal of information and communication technology: 2%
% of world’s greenhouse gases created by the entire aviation industry: 2%
Says vomiting Prezza: “Better out than in…”

John Prescott Declares Gore On China
JOHN Prescott is not appering on Strictly Come Dancing. What John Prescott is doing is lecturing the Chinese on global warming.
Global warming is the Celebity Squares of world diplomacy.
Richard North looks on, aghast:
John Prescott has landed his most bizarre job yet – as professor of climate change at a Chinese university. Prezza (pictured) has confounded his critics with his new role at Xiamen University on the south east coast of the country where he will give occasional lectures on global warming.

Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Join The Green Jet Set
BRAD Pitt and Angelina Jolie travel by private jet again. As Anorak’s Man in the Hollywood Swamp notes:
A private seat that consumed something in the neighbourhood of 400 gallons of fuel for each person onboard. As opposed to the 125 gallons per passenger that a loaded Boeing 777 would have consumed.
This is, of course the same Brad Pitt who supports Global Green, whose mission is:
“…to reduce greenhouse gas emmissions.”

Frozen Michael Jackson Being Fed By A Bent Spoon
MICHAEL Jackson Watch: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Michael Jackson in the news – Jackson frozen, fed by a spoon, Sly Stone misses out and Jermaine Jackson’s Legacy book…
The Sun: “Frail, sick Jackson ‘was fed by spoon’”
That’s the chopstick theory blown out the water. Is Uri Geller involved – he has to be:
MICHAEL Jackson was so weak in his final days he needed to be SPOON-FED meals, his make-up artist has revealed.
It’s high time we heard from the make-up artist. Finally:
Karen Faye, 53, says the King of Pop was “disorientated and sickly” in his last week and claims the pressure of his up-coming London shows “killed” him.
Jackson was not well before he died? Who knew?
Karen told Jacko’s fans on Facebook that choreographer Kenny Ortega was feeding the singer.
She said: “He (Jacko) was 12-20 pound heavier in April than he was in June. Kenny was cutting his chicken and feeding it to him. This was one of my concerns. If he cannot feed himself, how could he be expected to do these shows?”
Hire another Michael Jackson – there are lots of them? Bring back Bubbles to feed him? Get some staff as befitting the King of Pop, a peer of the realm who should no more have to feed himself than a lowly Prince Charles should have to aim his own penis at the specimen bottle.

Global Climate Activists Torch Cars
SMELL that? That, dear carbon breather, is the smell of voiture a la mode, the climate activist’s call to arms. As Tim Blair notes, it’s Car-B-Cue season in La Belle Epoch and greenists are rampaging like never before:
The jeuness d’oree go vert:
Restive youths in a Paris suburb torched a tourist bus and nearly a half-dozen cars and hurled objects at police early Tuesday, a night after fullblown unrest prompted by the death of a teen fleeing police …
A night earlier, some 40 people hurled Molotov cocktails at police and firefighters, torched dozens of cars and one person fired a handgun during a rampage hours after the death of the young man.
In Sweden, the normally boxy but reliable Swedes are fanning flames:
More than ten cars were set alight in a series of arson attacks across Malmö on Sunday night …
Police have cordoned off the area and will conduct a forensic examination of the scene on Monday. CCTV pictures secured from a nearby restaurant will be examined for clues.

Pee In The Shower To Save The Atlantic Rainforest
TO save the planet we must all make sacrifices, so goes the media message. In Brazil, locals are being encouraged to urinate in the show and therebye give Gaia a 2-4-1 deal on water saving.
Amazing, indeed, that anyone needs to be told to do this. Watch the TV adverts – produced and powered by the magick of electricity to save the world. So say the green jihadis.
Anorak readers will recalls a similar effort by former London mayor Ken Livingstone to see urine reclassified as “green waste” and urged us not to flush if we’d only had a pee. Such is the way forward for civilisation.
New TV ads are encouraging Brazilians to save water – by urinating in the shower.

Michael Jackson’s Buried With Eco-Friendly Lyrics
MICHAEL Jackson Watch: Michael Jackson on Lupus & MJ, Jackson’s ghost talks to Winehouse, Omer Bhatti and his “eco-friendly lyrics”. What does Michael Jackson mean for your vested interest?
NJ.Com: “Omer Bhatti says he’s NOT Michael Jackson’s son and his mom was not MJ’s lover”
Jackson did not have one-night stand with a grown woman?
Unfolding like a line out of the song Billie Jean, Omer Bhatti has come forward to say his mom Pia was not Michael Jackson’s lover and he isn’t the lovechild the media has made him out to be.
Instead, Bhatti is now telling the press that he was given a front row seat at Jackson’s funeral earlier this month because he was “Michael’s best friend” and “like a son to him”-not because his mother had an affair with the pop star in 1984.

Three Year Old Activist Makes Ultimate Sacrifice For Climate Change
TO Australia, where three-year-old Aleyra is making the ultimate sacrifice for climate change: she is selflessly wetting the bed:
SHE may only be three-years-old, but Aleyra Donnelly knows how much of an impact her nappies can have on the environment.
Four months ago, Aleyra told her mum that she would no longer wear a nappy to bed to avoid having to throw it in the rubbish bin the next day.
Aleyra’s mother Crystal Donnelly said while there had been “a few accidents” since then, she was so proud of her little girl’s fledgling environmental efforts she nominated her for the news.com.au Junior Green Hero Award.
