Ten ways to save the world

It has been a really bad week for the climate. Each day brought depressing news as scientists meeting in Copenhagen told us global warming is taking place more rapidly than expected. The seas are rising faster than predicted; the polar ice caps are melting more quickly; and the Amazon rainforest is doomed unless urgent action is taken.

Total exaggeration. Just idiotic. Nothing is true in this article.

Repeat a big lie often enough and idiots will believe it. This is the new religion - ecofundamentalism. The premises are scientifically incorrect. ... More »
