More climate change nonsense from the UK:

People will have to be rationed to four modest portions of meat and one litre of milk a week if the world is to avoid run-away climate change, a major new report warns.

Tara Garnett, the report's author, warned that campaigns encouraging people to change their habits voluntarily were doomed to fail and urged the government to use caps on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon pricing to ensure changes were made. "Food is important to us in a great many cultural and symbolic ways, and our food choices are affected by cost, time, habit and other influences," the report says. "Study upon study has shown that awareness-raising campaigns alone are unlikely to work, particularly when it comes to more difficult changes."

If the citizens of the UK are okay with with government enforced food rationing to solve a non-existent climate problem, that's their problem. Remember, however, the words of our own Messiah-in-waiting...

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK."

The shape of things to come?

Gore urges civil disobedience to stop coal plants...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Nobel Peace Prize winner and environmental crusader Al Gore urged young people on Wednesday to engage in civil disobedience to stop the construction of coal plants without the ability to store carbon.

Wow. I am humbled by Saint Al's commitment  to serve humanity. It's not enough that he is "Nobel Peace Prize winner" and "environmental crusader". Al Gore has now entered the holiest of holy professions, "community organizer".

The former U.S. vice president, whose climate change documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" won an Academy Award, told a philanthropic meeting in New York City that "the world has lost ground to the climate crisis."

Did I miss a memo? Saint Al is now a philanthropist too? Last time I checked, His Holiness had gotten filthy, stinking rich peddling his global warming nonsense.

"I believe for a carbon company to spend money convincing the stock-buying public that the risk from the global climate crisis is not that great represents a form of stock fraud because they are misrepresenting a material fact," he said. "I hope these state attorney generals around the country will take some action on that."

Stock fraud? There are those who think Al Gore should be sued for peddling the outright fraud of Global Warming.

Scientists say carbon gases from burning fossil fuel for power and transport are a key factor in global warming.

Um, yeah... Scientists say whatever will get them more grant money. The list of things that supposedly cause global warming and things supposedly caused by global warming is quite absurd. Apparently even Global Cooling causes Global Warming.

The reality is that the planet has been hotter in the past, and the planet has been cooler in the past. The carbon dioxide levels have been lower in the past, and the levels have been much higher in the past. Temperatures and carbon dioxide levels simply don't correlate. Global warming exists only in flawed and limited computer models. These models can't even predict the past.

Carbon capture and storage could give coal power an extended lease on life by keeping power plants' greenhouse gas emissions out of the atmosphere and easing climate change.

But no commercial-scale project exists anywhere to demonstrate the technology, partly because it is expected to increase up-front capital costs by an additional 50 percent.

At a time when America needs to develop every feasible energy source, Al Gore urges civil disobedience to stop coal plants. He proposes expensive solutions to non-existent problems - solutions that will line his pockets with money.
