Surgery bans elderly patient over her carbon footprint

Posted on by

And this is why one must be eternally vigilant of totalitarian leftist posing as those with rational concerns such as health or environmentalism. This is the result.

The Guardian:

 An elderly woman was ordered to find a new GP because the “carbon footprint” of her two-mile round trips to the surgery where she had been treated for 30 years was too large.

Avril Mulcahy, 83, was told to address the “green travelling issues” over her journeys from her home in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, to the West Road Surgery. The surgery wrote to Mrs Mulcahy, telling her to register with a new GP within 28 days.

The letter said: “Our greatest concern is for your health and convenience but also taking into consideration green travelling issues. Re: Carbon footprints and winter weather conditions, we feel it would be advisable for patients to register at surgeries nearer to where they live.

“We would be very grateful if you could make the necessary arrangements to re-register at another practice.”

Mrs Mulcahy, a grandmother, believes the decision was made because she complained about a doctor.

Ezra Levant on earth hour

Personally I think the way to beat these anti-civilization commies is to change nothing for earth hour. Ignore it. If you actually turn stuff on for that hour you are still letting them effect you in a way which is no different than actually turning the lights out and obeying these morons and hypocrites. But I understand Ezra’s point.

The Himalayas and nearby peaks have lost no ice in past 10 years, study shows

From The Guardian

Meltwater from Asia’s peaks is much less then previously estimated, but lead scientist says the loss of ice caps and glaciers around the world remains a serious concern

The world’s greatest snow-capped peaks, which run in a chain from the Himalayas to Tian Shan on the border of China and Kyrgyzstan, have lost no ice over the last decade, new research shows.

The discovery has stunned scientists, who had believed that around 50bn tonnes of meltwater were being shed each year and not being replaced by new snowfall.

The compelling case against Ed Davey

Published in: Daily Mail

True to my warning yesterday in the Daily Mail, the new Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey has dashed the naive hope that he would end the Coalition’s suicidal green fanaticism and return Britain to Planet Reality over man-made global warming.  As the Times (£) reported today, he used his first few hours in his new job to tell the 100+ Tory MPs who are in revolt over wind farms effectively to take a running jump. Insisting he was a ‘lifelong supporter’ of wind power, he argued that the case for it was ‘compelling’ and that Britain’s energy production must be ‘clean and green’.

How unfortunate, then, that on the very same day news comes from Germany — the historical shrine, indeed the fons et origo, of deep ecology — that one of Germany’s high priests of the religion of greenery has recanted, and that renewable energy has catastrophically failed (hat tip Anthony Watts).

As the Global Warming Policy Foundation reports a new book, Die Kalte Sonne, written by Prof Dr Fritz Vahrenholt and geologist/paleontologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning, has caused a sensation even in advance of its official publication yesterday. For Prof. Vahrenholt, a renewable energy expert, was one of the fathers of the modern German green movement and believed everything preached by the IPCC. But according to Focus magazine, he is now a far sadder and wiser man:

‘Doubt came two years ago when he was an expert reviewer of an IPCC report on renewable energy. “I discovered numerous errors and asked myself if the other IPCC reports on climate were similarly sloppy.”

In case anyone still believes in “anthropogenic global warming”

Posted on by

So much more hard science and revelations of deception in the leftist, ‘crypto-enviornmentalist’ camps that I could spend all my time just blogging that. In fact, when I started this site I intended to make that a main focus as well as Islam. But I figure at this point anyone who still buys into that is more an ideologue, essentially has global-warming as a religion and so not much point in arguing with them. But now and again, I feel its worth posting some of the smoking guns exposing the facts behind climate. Mainly the sun. In fact, the best thing for anyone actually interested in the subject to do, is to watch the documentary about the Danish climatologist who discovered the connection between the sunspot cycle, cosmic rays, and terrestrial climate.

Once again, leftist and Saudi interests meet in surprising places.

Thank you Cathy Shaidle for hipping me to this.

Click over to this link to read how democracy and reason itself is being thwarted by those with a nasty and hidden agenda cloaked in pseudo-enviornmentalism.

It’s also interesting that the CBC, which will make stories out of whole-cloth when foreign interests so much as design a pamphlet for a non-leftist group in Canada such as is the case when 10 years ago, the NRA helped a Canadian group defend gun rights but this, we shall see if they bother to point out millions being spent by fake Canadian groups to crush our strategic and geopolitical interests.

Norway issues pre-Christmas reindeer slaughter threat

I bet you won’t hear David Suzuki or any of the climate profiteers talking about this story. Too busy extorting money out of children for ‘Santa’.

Norway issues pre-Christmas reindeer slaughter threat

The Local:

Norway’s agriculture minister has threatened to enforce a mass cull of tens of thousands of reindeer unless the Sami authority tasked with herding the animals steps up its efforts to cut the burgeoning population.

According to the Norwegian Reindeer Herders’ Association (NRL), the move would entail the slaughter of as much as a fifth of the reindeer population in the vast Finnmark region, newspaper Aftenposten reports.

“The state is calling for the compulsory slaughter of 60,000 reindeer. They have no right to intervene with such force,” said NRL chief Nils Henrik Sara.

He accused the state of repeatedly changing the rules governing reindeer husbandry without any forewarning or the provision of guidelines, and said the NRL would take a case to the international courts if necessary.

The state has long been on a collision course with reindeer herders from the indigenous Sami minority, and the comments made by Agriculture Minister Lars Peder Brekk when presenting the new strategy last week have done little to ease tensions.

“The high reindeer population is a threat to reindeer husbandry and the entire culture surrounding reindeer herding,” said Brekk (Centre Party).

The minister believes the current reindeer population is unsustainable and implored reindeer herders to take steps to impose a ceiling on the number of animals they keep.

Brekk’s department wants the herders to reduce their financial losses and increase production.

The authorities are also seeking to avoid a repeat of last winter’s scenes, when police received a worryingly high number of reports of dead reindeer thought to have starved to the death amid a grazing shortage on the Finnmark plateau.
