As there is only a finite number of stones, I guess using stones was not sustainable, either, back in Stone Age…

Now some fresh pickings from the Political Grapevine:

[...]

Reverse Course

One of the most influential scientists behind the theory that global warming causes hurricane activity to intensify is reversing his position. Hurricane expert Kerry Emanuel of MIT says in the March issue of Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society that hurricane frequency and intensity may not substantially rise over the next two centuries.

His new method of simulating weather patterns as computer models shows that there will be in fact an overall drop in the number of hurricanes. During the intense 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons, Emanuel was one of the first to blame global warming and even said that active storm seasons will become the norm.

But now Emanuel is changing his mind saying, “The results surprised me. The take home message is that we’ve got a lot of work to do.”

Speak No Evil

One of the co-founders of Greenpeace, Patrick Moore, says that the environmental organization is wrong for calling nuclear energy “evil.” He says, “We made the mistake of lumping nuclear energy in with nuclear weapons, as if all things nuclear were evil.”

Moore, who left the organization in 1986 after 15 years of service, also lashed out at the movement he helped create saying, “That’s why I left Greenpeace: I could see that my fellow directors were taking the organization into what I call ‘pop environmentalism’ which uses sensationalism, misinformation, fear tactics to deal with people on an emotional level rather than an intellectual level.”

Britain's national healthcare system is perfecting "sustainable."

Just don't get into a situation where you need to rely on it, because you'll be in serious trouble then.

"As Mark Jaccard, one of the leading proponents of draconian carbon-restriction policies to save the world, put it in an article in yesterday’s Vancouver Sun, “Political trust is crucial if humanity is to avert a climate catastrophe.” So forget history. But then that’s what you have to do if, like Mr. Jaccard, you are fatally conceited enough to really think you can engineer a “sustainable global energy system.”

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

I like the article. However, he should have went further saying Socialism (Fairness in Lending Act) caused market manipulation and greed, devaluing our dollar and exporting inflation globally (to every nation that pegs to the dollar and that is most on earth). Then we have this new rounds of Socialism, bailing out the banks and now we are going to spend $300 B on more Socialism bailing out irresponsible builders, home speculators, home flippers and the stupid that don’t read contracts. We the Responsible People will all be receiving our tax bill for this reckless and selfish conduct over the next few short years. As our quality of life erodes and pain ensues, we will likely get back to electing leadership that uses common sense and cares about America. If that doesn’t occur by 2012, then I can speculate open revolt will occur. Perhaps that is why the 2nd Ammendment is being debated and rights eroded at the State and Local level.
