US Airforce’s B-1B Lancer Now Eco-Friendly

 

Following the footsteps of eco-freak billionaire Richard Branson, who’s fuelling its jets with babassu nut and coconut fuel, the US Airforce’s B-1B Lancer will be propelled with synthetic fuel.

Based on the B-1A bomber, the B-1B was developed by Rockwell International in the 1980s, when 100 of the aircraft were produced to support a nuclear mission and were stationed at Strategic Air Command (SAC) bases. In the 1990s, the B-1B was transitioned to a conventional-weapons mission.

“This week the US Air Force achieved the first supersonic flight using alternative synthetic fuel, booming a B-1B Lancer without problems over the White Sands Missile Range airspace in New Mexico. The supersonic strategic bomber, designed to deliver atomic weapons, will be able to start Armageddon at $30 to $50 less per barrel while helping the environment and without depending on foreign oil. You read that well, you commie hippie treehuggers: war is getting cheaper, and it will help climate change, nuclear winter excluded. Looking at its composition, however, the synthetic fuel is certainly not as harmless as other alternatives.”[GIZMODO]

Eco Friendly Pamela Anderson Builds House In Her BC Hometown

Movie and television star, sex symbol and now animal-rights advocate Pamela Anderson (just like Brigitte Bardot) is eco friendly. Ok … what next… organic fake breasts maybe?

“Pamela Anderson is shaking things up in her hometown of Ladysmith, British Columbia. The actress and animal lover has teamed up with former hockey pro Geoff Courtnall to create an environmentally friendly residential development on five acres of waterfront property that her grandparents once owned.

Global Warming Censorship

The founder of The Weather Channel, John Coleman, said global warming is “the greatest scam in history” last November. On March 3, 2008 , while speaking at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change being held in New York City, Coleman took his criticisms further by advocating that all those involved in the sale and marketing of carbon credits, including Al Gore, should be sued “to finally put some light on the fraud of global warming. Global warming alarmists say that the issues are not subject to debate… even if there is scientific countermands.

“Global warming crusader Al Gore repeatedly claims the climate change “debate’s over.” It isn’t, but the news media clearly agree with him. Global warming skeptics rarely get any say on the networks, and when their opinions are mentioned it is often with barbs like “cynics” or “deniers” thrown in to undermine them.

Consistently viewers are being sent only one message from ABC, CBS and NBC: global warming is an environmental catastrophe and it’s mankind’s fault. Skepticism is all but shut out of reports through several tactics – omission, name-calling, the hype of frightening images like polar bears scavenging for food near towns and a barrage of terrifying predictions.” [BMI]

Early Warning of an Anti-Green Backlash

While in Canada many businesses over the past years, magically became “green”, and claim that their products or services are “environmentally friendly” for any reasons, some countries like Australia have tightened the rules. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission put in place strict guidelines concerning these type of claims.

Here in Vancouver, there’s cement companies such as Ocean Construction Supplies Limited, one of Lehigh Cement Company’s ready-mix operations doing business on Granville Island advertising themselves as being green and eco-friendly!

“Australian marketers are being advised to stop making vague claims about a product’s environmental benefits. New guidelines from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission warns companies about claiming products are “green,”“environmentally friendly,” “environmentally safe,” “energy efficient,” “recyclable” or “carbon neutral. Companies breaching the guidelines face fines of up to $1.1 million”[junkscience]

NEW CAREER IN THE HORIZON: Carbon Trader

As kids we’ve all heard that wish list of careers our parents would choose for us when we grow up — fireman, police doctor, lawyer, banker.

Now, thanks to global warming alarmism, we better add a new profession to the list: carbon trader. That’s right and the new profession will be created just here in Vancouver. According to the Vancouver Sun, the Rainy City will probably become Carbon City with the formation of a carbon trading registry.

“The fight against global warming has sparked what can only be called a Green Rush. There’s a vast pool of money floating around the climate-change battle and a lot of the action is going to centre around controlling and trading a brand new commodity: carbon.
We’ve been slow here to tap into this multibillion-dollar industry. But in the next few days, Vancouver just may be beginning to stake out its claim as Carbon City with the formation of a carbon trading registry.”[The Vancouver Sun]

Another Silly Trick Used By Environmental Fear Mongering Media

Today’s Washington Post published an article entitled “Carbon Output Must Near Zero to Avert Danger, New Studies Say,” . The picture shown above appears on the front page and it’s captioned , “heavy haze could be seen in Beijing in August 2007. Two recent reports call for a heightened global effort to reduce carbon emissions. ”

Who are you trying to fool. That’s environmental fear mongering at its best, the type that people like David Suzuki love to use. Carbon Dioxide could not create such a heavy haze or smog simply because carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, tasteless, odorless, noncombustible gas that is soluble in water. Because CO2 is one and one half times as heavy as air it tends to ‘pool’ in low areas such as basements and underground areas not subject to air movement. In the picture the “smog” is up the air.

Government May Soon Carbon-Tax Your Breath


Carbon dioxide is said to cause global warming, so is your breath. Here is a snippet from Steve Milloy’s blog.

“The federal government may soon declare your very breath to be toxic regardless of its minty freshness.

Consistent with last spring’s Supreme Court ruling that the Environmental Protection Agency may regulate carbon dioxide (CO2) as a hazardous air pollutant, the agency is evaluating how CO2 could be regulated as a hazardous substance under its notorious Superfund program, according to Carbon Control News (Mar. 4).”

Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change: Global Warming Is Not A Global Crisis.

Too bad for all the eco-freaks out there, who built a career on the global warming scam and who happen to be reading this great blog. The Global Warming hoax is revealing itself more and more:

“Scientists and researchers participating in the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change at the Marriott Marquis Hotel on Times Square in New York City closed business today by considering the accompanying “Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change.”

Affirming that attempts by governments to legislate costly regulations on industry and individual citizens to encourage CO2 emission reduction will slow development while having no appreciable impact on the future trajectory of global climate change. Such policies will markedly diminish future prosperity and so reduce the ability of societies to adapt to inevitable climate change, thereby increasing, not decreasing, human suffering;” [Heartland Institute]

David Suzuki At Home

The Georgia Straight Living magazine published an article about Suzuki at Home. That same David Suzuki who, last month, called 2 times for those who disagree with him, to be thrown in jail for ignoring the “science” behind climate change. Here is a quote from a stand up comedian that I particularly like: 

[…]Besides, environmentalists don’t give a shit about the planet. They don’t care about the planet. Not in the abstract they don’t. You know what they’re interested in? A clean place to live. Their own habitat. They’re worried that some day in the future, they might be personally inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn’t impress me.[…]   

Besides, there is nothing wrong with the planet. Nothing wrong with the planet. The planet is fine. The PEOPLE are fucked. Difference. Difference. The planet is fine. Compared to the people, the planet is doing great. Been here four and a half billion years. Did you ever think about the arithmetic? The planet has been here four and a half billion years. We’ve been here, what, a hundred thousand? Maybe two hundred thousand? And we’ve only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over two hundred years. Two hundred years versus four and a half billion. And we have the CONCEIT to think that somehow we’re a threat? That somehow we’re gonna put in jeopardy this beautiful little blue-green ball that’s just a-floatin’ around the sun?[…]

George Carlin
