Germany: Government releases new black list

This time round, it’s climate change sceptics:

US: Roanoke County — be scared!

Be very scared.

US: To all atheists who insist on your legal rights…

…tell your little sisters to expect intimidation.

US: In South Carolina, 4th Graders get a ‘Science Quiz’…

…true or false?

US: How do you deal with uncomfortable truths?

Burn the books that contain them.

UK: Questions in the House

The Honourable Peter Lilley, MP, skewers the UK government’s carbon fairy tales:

US: How to sell an electric car for $100,000?

Make it for $650,000.

Australia: Kevin Rudd wins something for once!

But it’s not something he’ll appreciate.

US: Cultists at play

Ain’t it the truth?

UK: Margaret Thatcher on global warming

Clear-sighted as usual.

Australia: Protecting a cultural right to abuse

Yes, there are reasons why people from tribal cultures move out, go to cities and emigrate to the West. They’re not just being silly.

Australia: CSIRO wouldn’t lie to us!

Well, only for money…

UK: Time for another mutiny?

Britain wasted more than £250,000 in aid on a failed wind farm project for just 55 people in the South Pacific.

Global: 58 failed predictions!

What follows are dozens of predictions for warmer winters made not long ago during the 2000s, many by leading scientists.

Afghanistan: 53 killed in Taliban attack on court building

TALIBAN militants have stormed an Afghan court, killing at least 44 people in a bid to free insurgents standing trial, officials said, in the deadliest attack for more than a year.

Italy: Government seizes Mafia-linked ‘green’ investments

How dare you exploit innocent taxpayers? That’s OUR job!

US: How do you solve an imaginary problem?

Produce imaginary fuel!

Canada: Your taxes at play

Succinct and utterly damning.

UK: Can’t squeeze fuel out of wheat? Squeeze funds out of taxpayers instead!

Or is it shareholders? Nobody seems to know.

Bulgaria: Green energy costs bring down government

Protests against high electricity bills and poverty toppled the government of Boyko Borissov on Feb. 20. Now Bulgaria may suspend as much as 40 percent of wind and solar power capacity as part of its effort to stem oversupply and stabilize electricity generation.

UK: Green energy — we get the green, and nobody gets the energy

Bad science leads to bad policy. And bad policy kills pensioners.

Global: Don’t play hockey with the Team…

…their sticks keep breaking.

UK: Ah, wind farms! Is there ANYTHING they can do?

Apparently not.

Saudi Arabia: If you can keep your head when all about you…

…Are losing theirs and blaming it on you…

…there’s a job for you in Saudi Arabia!

UK: It’s a win-win situation!

For greenies; a lose-lose situation for everyone else, when environmentalists litigate against the results of the government doing what the environmentalists told them to do in the first place.

Indonesia: What’s an atheist to do?

Condemn the Indonesian government for believing in ‘black magic’, or praise them for making it illegal?

UK: When hysteria trumps economics

A rational economist visits Climate Wonderland…

We desire to limit climate change in order to stop us causing the future to be poorer than it need be. It is simply entirely fucking insane to then cause the future to be poorer than it need be by overspending on climate change as a way of preventing the future from being poorer than it need be.
