It’s been somewhat challenging to keep up with the soporifics emanating from the various and sundry UN gatherings of the great and the good as part of the run-up to the annual December Dance of the Dynamos (aka the UN’s Conference of the Parties, in this instance COP21) being held this year in Paris. As…
One of the most misused – and terribly abused – words that one hears from those representing the alarmist front of the “climate change” (aka “global warming”) debate is “transparent” (and/or variants thereof). Google defines “transparent” thusly: To my mind, few organizations can match the many branches (and considerably less than “transparently” associated arms, fingers…
By now, it is fairly common knowledge that Rajendra Pachauri – the “voice and face” of the oh-so-prestigious (but, as I had noted in my previous post according to its putative UN parents, “unchartered”) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) – quite suddenly resigned from his far-too-long-held position as Chair. Back in his “glory” days…
CBC, Canada’s National (i.e. taxpayer funded) Broadcaster for some unfathomable reason – albeit perhaps known to Gaia knows who(m?!) – does not appear to have published anything about IPCC Chair Rajendra Pachauri since its December 1, 2014 churning of an AP piece, in which CBC had dutifully featured (via sidebar, no less): Climate change impacts…
Well, it seems that there have been more laps and lapses in Lima than one could shake a stick at! A close to never-ending story if ever there was one! Not the least of which were Greenpeace’s attention-seeking and appallingly disrespectful acts of destruction. Nonetheless, this annual dance to nowhere land was supposed to have…
In June of last year, I had stumbled across a United Nations Development Program (UNDP) survey which took note of the fact that: There’s been something really important missing in the way we at the United Nations and at the global level have been deliberating and deciding on issues over the last decade, and that…
If you happened to miss the release of the first batch of Climategate files, Paul Matthews has a summary you might want to read. And if you’re looking for an “alternate” view, you might want to check the … uh …”revisionist scholarship” of former BBC-nik, Richard Black. During the five years that I’ve been following…
A funny thing happened when I checked my snail-mailbox the other day … out popped an unsolicited calendar (and request for funds) – courtesy of the Canadian Wildlife Federation [CWF]: CWF, evidently has been part of the Canadian scene since 1962. Via their “interactive timeline“, I learned that (for example): As early as 1963, CWF…
Yet another in the sorry saga of my attempts to post a comment on a post I found on the website of Canada’s “National Broadcaster”. The rulers of which seem to be copy cats of those found at the notoriously censorious BBC.
The belated release of Part 3 of AR5 The Movie … and the oh-so inspiring song of Ban Ki-Moon’s newly appointed “Special Envoy on Climate Change”
