RE: Propaganda

Enviros get away with making the most outrageous claims. Actually it is worse than that. They get paid to make outrageous statements. They stop and/or hinder the REAL work that needs to be done for the development of the strategic resources that will free NA from the need to import ME oil. All this babble about wind and solar and biofuel is so far mainly that, babble, and I am sooooo tired of it. There is nothing that is going to provide the amounts of energy needed NOW, never mind five years from now, except oil, gas, hydro, nuclear and coal. All these industries are being actively and effectively hamstrung and bled. Not good. Check out the outrageous claims made by enviros in the following report.....


Environmentalists air warnings about Arctic pipeline

EDMONTON - Environmentalists will square off against the Arctic pipeline today, saying the 70,000 Alberta jobs its construction is forecast to support should be created by other, cleaner energy projects.

"The northern wilderness could disappear," Tine Steen-Dekker says in a written statement to public hearings set to be held in Edmonton today.

"Canada would not be Canada any longer," says the veteran of work in Labrador and northern Alberta aboriginal communities.

Her warning puts in a nutshell the majority feeling of 27 groups and personal interveners registered to speak at the hearings, which are being held in Edmonton by the federal, Northwest Territories and aboriginal Joint Review Panel on the Mackenzie Gas Project.

Helene Walsh of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society's northern Alberta chapter, said in a written brief: "Now that global climate change has finally been recognized as a serious problem that must be dealt with, this proposed project is clearly a step backward,"

"The money and resources that would be needed for this project should be diverted into the production of renewables," writes Walsh, director of the society's boreal forest preservation campaign.

David Parker, of the Edmonton Friends of the North Environmental Society, portrayed the proposed Mackenzie Delta production wells and 1,200-kilometre Mackenzie Valley pipeline as a "brutal" threat.

He rejects industry supporters who say the proposed pipeline is to vast northern Canada as a thread is to a football field. The project is "more like a razor slash across the Mona Lisa," Parker writes.

An Arctic gas pipeline would be vulnerable to vandalism, impossible to police, a target for international terrorism, and a destroyer of communities akin to industrial exploitation of Nigeria and Siberia, he adds.

The Sierra Club of Canada says the Mackenzie project contributes to "catastrophic risks" posed by global warming. New hazards from melting ice roads to flooded wildlife habitat threaten all northern life, the conservationists warn.

"Approval of the Mackenzie Gas Project as currently proposed would commit northwestern Canada to an unsustainable future dominated by the overarching imperative to produce fossil fuels for export," the Sierra Club predicts.-

That is right Habu!

The left are the ones who say we must not use disposables for babies because they are clogging up gaia. So imagine what the adult sized ones must do. "No Depends for you!"

Ha.
