About hro001
So just whois this “hro001″, you might be wondering! Well, my name is Hilary Ostrov – a British born and proudly Canadian bred cat-lover! I’m old enough that I can remember the days when discussions amongst civilized people were not infected by the virus of “political correctness”. As a Bridgeplayer, I’ve always believed in calling a spade a spade!
I have never been known to suffer fools gladly – particularly Israel-bashers and/or Holocaust deniers, to whom I now give fair warning: thanks for visiting, but please don’t waste your time or mine by attempting to recycle your drivel here.
Politically, I’ve never been particularly partisan (at least not to the extent of being a card-carrying member of any political party). But these days, I’d say that I’m probably an independent who leans towards conservatism.
What can you expect to find if you choose to subscribe my blog?
I consider this to be my quiet little corner of the blogosphere where I shall post various and sundry musings and missives on current events and news stories that strike my fancy (or annoy me!). The “climate change” wars are a very recently acquired interest; other matters that you can expect to see me comment on include my concern about the increasing influence of Islamism – and the consequent increased demonization of Jews, Judaism and/or the State of Israel.
If you are interested in my virtual history, please feel free to visit my personal (but very outdated!) website

I caught your post in the NP With respect to the British ‘digging for slime’ in the ‘climate gate’ eyeopener. I’m subscribed to email publication, TIA daily, and he had a take on what is happening that you might find interesting. I copied a piece and that’s what follows.
cheers, gs. ..and thanks for being part of the fight for sanity.
Environmentalist Fred Pearce has become an anti-climate fraud crusader. With Mr. Pearce’s new journalistic obsession, the scientific left in Great Britain is now in full and open rebellion against the AGW establishment.
“They think that they’re fighting to right the listing ship of legitimate man-made global warming science. Instead, they’re sinking it. And they’re sinking it fast!
“This is huge. This is even bigger than the tea party movement. This has the potential to become as big as Thatcherism and Reaganism and the fall of the Berlin Wall. It is quickly snowballing into the fall of environmentalism. And it is happening very, very fast. Information-age fast.
“One more month of this assault, and the whole environmentalist school will be in cultural shambles. Four more months and environmentalists won’t be able to show their faces in public.
Hilary, Your link to Agenda 21 is broken.

Thanks, Grumpy. I guess we just can’t trust the UN to keep anything “stable” – least of all the climate – or create “sustainable” links, eh?!
I’ll upload my local copy and change the link in the sidebar.
