[frogblog] White tissues, greenwash | frogblog: Greenpeace NZ have got their eyes on the Emissions Trading Scheme but Greenpeace USA are campaigning on paper tissues. You see Multinational company Kimberly Clark clear fells ancient forests to make its Kleenex tissues and, ironically, .

[Climate Change Blog] Climate Change Blog: WWF's Inconsistent Climate and Forest Messages: I am an avid reader of your emails especially in objection to FSC, however it maybe would be helpful if alternatives could be given. I appreciate totally the need to reuse/recycle resources but there are times when new products are needed, how are these sourced viably ?, here in the UK, the FSC mark is the ultimate in the 'its ok to buy new furniture/paper/card etc etc' marketing....

[Armed and Dangerous] Armed and Dangerous » Blog Archive » Human ingenuity beats the neo ...: just because faux-greenies can’t cope with the idea that the Officially Bad nuclear option is increasingly obviously becoming the Only Sane option (to the point that the founder of greenpeace is now a nuclear evangelist (and consequently: rabidly hated apostate)) doesn’t mean they’re not Really Committed to their Notional Goals.

[The Energy Blog] The Energy Blog: The State of the Union on Energy: I don't really have any objection to these points, except to say that I think we could reduce gasoline consumption by more than 20% by having even higher economy standards for cars and a really good push on batteries and plug-ins, electric cars ought to be included, we ought to include butanol and geothermal in our stable of renewable fuels, we need an a greater effort on more efficient power transmission technologies if we are going to take full advantage of renewable energy sources and we should place a high priority on energy storage technologies.

[drive blog] drive blog: Do Prius owners go to heaven?: Its predominantly an exercise in 'greenwashing', with the VW Group in particular historically using it as a market differentiator over Asian and local models. And now auto companies are desparate to get their Corporate Average Fuel Economy numbers down, and the introduction of diesel models is the easiest way to do that (who cares about the overall life cycle of diesel fuel, so as long as the L/100km drops!)

[MetaFilter] Inconvenient Truths: Get Ready to Rethink What It Means to Be ...: The assertion that Three Mile Island meltdown resulted in no deaths is a fiction, one spun from whole cloth by the nuclear energy industry, by its lapdogs in the NRC, and by its supporters who continue to promote nuclear energy at all costs, conveniently ignoring or brushing aside the serious consequences to public health when nuclear technology fails.

[Talk about Newsnight] BBC NEWS | Talk about Newsnight | What's the point of the Green Party?: Not sure quite when you were a GP member, but I've been a member for 5 years and have never been inundated with the amount of mail you claim to have been - 4 Green World magazines a year (printed on recycled paper and which can be passed on to someone else to read afterwards), local party bulletins every 2 months (1 piece of A4 recycled paper printed on both sides and in a small recycled paper envelope) and the occasional fund-raising letter around election time (we don't take loans/donations from big business). The vast majority of correspondence and discussion is now done by e-mail on discussion lists that members can sign up to if they want.

[marklynas.org - home] marklynas.org | Seeing the bigger picture: They are the same sort of people who like to watch murder mysteries from the comfort of their armchairs in no way being touched from the realities of what it is like to be starving or terrified of the knock on the door from whichever threat is imminent in the countries they live in. They are living the nightmare but these eco-liberals are merely playing out some sort of safe intellectual exercise and the only part they really play in their fantasy is to pretend to take an active part by separating cardboard from bottles at the local “recycling centre”.Witness the BBCs latest offering presented by a known warmist Iain Stewart with a three part documentary Earth: climate wars.A supposed study of the history of consensus versus sceptism over the last thirty odd years is merely more of the same ramping up of the same old arguments put forward by the ecoloons.

[ScienceBlogs Channel : Politics] Another Week of GW News, June 28, 2009 : A Few Things Ill Considered: I just happen to run across your blog on Blogger and wanted to comment on one of the rebuttals you published to an anonomous comment. I realise this comment is a couple of years old, so if you have resolved this logically please let me know.
