There’s some work on electric cars reported in the New York Times that says:

• People who own all-electric cars where coal generates the power may think they are helping the environment. But a new study finds their vehicles actually make the air dirtier with 3.6 times more soot and smog deaths than petrol – but they are beneficial as they produce more atmospheric plant food (aka CO2)
• Ethanol isn’t so green, either. “It’s kind of hard to beat gasoline” for public and environmental health, said study co-author Julian Marshall, an engineering professor at the University of Minnesota. “A lot of the technologies that we think of as being clean … are not better than gasoline.”

Just been reading the kinds of idiotic greenspin that has been written by the drooling half demented green journalists after Lima and this headline really sums it up:

The Lima climate deal is largely voluntary. That may be its biggest strength.

These guys take an agreement for someone to do something, sometime somewhere and write it up as something great and write it up as something worthwhile! Continue reading →

Apparently the politicians of Scotland today know better than thousands of years of parents and have decided that children no longer need the institution of marriage to protect children from the stupidity of their parents.
Parents will continue to be stupid, but instead of marriage being the contract by which parents agree to look after their children, now that institution of marriage does not exist.
Instead like the pied piper, they intend to round up children and gradually take them under the state’s control as the state appoints “guardians” to replace parents – cheered on by these selfish “parents” and so called “social reformers” from the side. In short, what these people hate most of all are married couples who actually do what marriage is for and care for their own children rather than farming them out to child minders or the state so that they can get on with their own selfish lives.
Unfortunately, it’s the way this PC hate-filled society is going. If you sit in Holyrood and won’t be a good parent, you hate anyone else who does care for their own children and you are damned well going to bring down the rest of society to your own selfish level.
And it’s applauded by the most selfish of modern society with their “me me me” mentality where children aren’t people with rights but are instead just a luxury consumer good to be acquired like fridge freezers by adults – and like all the optional extras they will be treated as optional extras and when they cause a problem it’ll be “out they go” – because parents no longer contract to look after children through the institution of marriage.

It’s the children that lose out,
not the the selfish ignorant “parents”
who sit in Holyrood and the anti-family BBC
and who long ago gave over their children for others to bring up.
