The Great Recycling Con – Sorted Recycling All Ends Up In The Same Landfill

Published on by sunshinehours16 Comments

I knew it. I tell people this. And they insist it isn’t true.

“Millions of tons of household rubbish painstakingly sorted by families for recycling is being dumped abroad.

Whitehall has admitted that waste from recycling bins is being shipped to countries including China, India and Indonesia, where much of it ends up in landfill.

In papers published by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, ministers concede that what happens to the 12 million tons of ‘green’ waste shipped abroad every year is largely beyond their control.”

‘Most people believe their rubbish is recycled in this country.

Now it turns out there are container ships coming here from China filled with televisions and computers … and going home stacked with containers filled with our recycled rubbish.

That is shameful.’

Nasa’s advice on asteroid hitting Earth: PRAY

Published on by sunshinehours1Leave a comment

Fire Every NASA Employee Working On Global Warming Now. Take their salaries and their whole budget and:

Spend the money on asteroid detection and deflection.

“Charles Bolden, the chief of the Nasa, has warned that the US space agency’s best advice on how to handle a large asteroid heading towards New York City is “pray“.

Mr Bolden told US lawmakers that prayer was all that the US or anyone could currently do about unknown asteroids and meteors that may be on a collision course with Earth.”

Read it and weep.

 

Of course NASA will still screw it up.

 

Wind Farm Could Cause Cancer, Diabetes

Published on by sunshinehours1Leave a comment

Conservation groups in Southern California sued the Department of the Interior on Tuesday in an attempt to block construction of a wind farm they claim could cause nearby residents to develop health problems ranging from diabetes to cancer to attention deficit disorder.

“The project is an unnecessary industrialization of pristine wilderness areas,” they said in the complaint.”

Conservation group sues to stop California solar plant

Published on by sunshinehours1Leave a comment

It’s only fair …

“LOS ANGELES – A U.S. conversation group has sued the federal government over its approval of a major solar power plant in the California desert, the latest in a string of challenges to the nation’s renewable energy goals from the environmental community.

According to court papers, the non-profit Western Watersheds Project alleged U.S. regulators approved Brightsource Energy’s 370-megawatt Ivanpah solar energy plant without conducting adequate environmental reviews, and asked the court to order the defendants to withdraw their approvals.”

…

“”In an ill-conceived rush to accommodate massive renewable energy projects … the federal defendants precipitously approved unnecessarily destructive energy development of the California Desert Conservation Area without first conducting adequate environmental reviews.The complaint said the project’s approval process failed to analyze and mitigate the Ivanpah plant’s impact on migratory birds, the desert tortoise, which is a threatened species under federal law, desert bighorn sheep, groundwater resources and rare plants.“”

Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Daily Records Count

Published on by sunshinehours13 Comments

Now that 2013 Antarctic Sea Ice Extent has broken the 8th daily record, I thought I would post the updated scoreboard.

2013 has a long, long way to go to break 2010s totals or 2008.  If there were scientists at NSIDC and the MSM instead of propagandists 2008 and 2010 would have made great stories.

Don’t 1998, 1980 and 1979 look so lonely at the bottom of the list?

USA NOAA Feb 2013 State Temperatures – Arizona 16th Warmest out of 119 – 103 Were Warmer.

Published on by sunshinehours1Leave a comment

Arizona was coldest state by ranking. 16th warmest out of 119 for February 2013. 103 February’s were warmer.

19 of the lower 48 states were ranked less than 60 out of 119, which is pretty cold.

The warmest state in terms of ranking was Maine at 105, still colder than 14 February’s.

The biggest difference between Feb 2013 and the warmest Feb was Minnesota, 14.9F colder than 1987.

Only twos state has the warmest February in the 2000s, Colorado and Connecticut.

No sign of “global warming” in February’s in the USA.

USA NOAA Feb 2013 – Colder Than 1896 and 1898 and 1907 and 45 Other February’s

Published on by sunshinehours11 Comment

According to the NOAA February 2013 was tied with 1944 as the 70th “warmest” February out of 119.

Which means 48 have been warmer. Not much sign of warming this February. The following list are the February’s warmer than 2013:

1896 1898 1907 1909 1915 1921 1924 1925 1926 1927 1930 1931 1932 1935 1938 1943 1945 1946 1950 1952 1953 1954 1957 1961 1962 1970 1974 1976 1977 1981 1983 1984 1986 1987 1990 1991 1992 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2002 2005 2006 2009 2012

The term “global warming” doesn’t quite fit a February colder than 1896 and 1898 and 1907 ….

Antarctic Sea Ice Minimum Trend Climbing at 140,000 sq km per decade!

Published on by sunshinehours13 Comments

Antarctic Sea Ice Minimum Trend is climbing at 140,000 sq km per decade!

After declaring Antarctic had the 2nd highest minimum of all time I thought I should graph the trend.

Wow. At this rate Antarctic Sea Ice minimum will just keep growing and growing until you can’t get near Antarctica by ship at all! (probably not but it is fun to claim).

How Do You Miss A 10,000 Tonne Meteorite?

Published on by sunshinehours11 Comment

Q: How Do You Miss A 10,000 Tonne Meteorite?

A: You Squander Trillions on fixing “Dangerous” Global Warming even if the warming paused 16 years ago.

30 Hiroshima Bombs

“The meteor explosion appears to be one of the most stunning cosmic events above Russia since the 1908 Tunguska Event in which a massive blast most scientists blame on an asteroid or a comet ripped through Siberia.
Russian scientists were initially reported to have estimated its mass to be around 10 tonnes, but Nasa later claimed it was considerably larger with a mass closer to 10,000 tonnes.”

 

You know, if I was as deranged as one of the AGW cult leaders, I would be crying about how sad it was that all those people in Russia survived and ruined a great opportunity to shame the world into ACTION and pass a global meteorite tax to raise money for asteroid detection.
