Toppunt van ironie
Reynders, minister van Financiën uit België:
Uh huh. Een minister van een land dat sinds november 2009 demissionair voorthobbelt, is een grote voorstander van verregaande Europese integratie. Want al lukt het ze maar niet in België om de twee "volkeren" door één deur te laten lopen, Europa-breed is het geen enkel probleem???
Landen in de eurozone moeten ervoor zorgen dat ze de huidige crisis aangrijpen om de Europese intergratie te versterken

Wacht effe. WAT???!!!
"Kern economisch beleid naar EU"
Samenvattend: Een minderheidsregering draagt bepaalde Nederlandse soevereine bevoegdheden zonder referendum, zonder een enkele volksraadpleging, zonder slag of stoot over aan een nog niet bestaand, geheel ondemocratisch centraal Europees orgaan???!!??
(en in de kranten, artikels over studenten, onthoofdingen, nek bommen, snelweg schutter, en dan dit bericht in een klein hoekje)
Oh nee. Dacht het niet.
Het kabinet wil een aantal kernbevoegdheden op het gebied van economisch beleid uit handen geven aan de Europese Unie. Het denkt dat de economie in de eurozone alleen kan worden gestabiliseerd door het nemen van fundamentele, verregaande maatregelen.

The biologist, the oil industry and the drowned polar bears
These three really don't mix. With the ice and permafrost melting, the area becomes increasingly attractive to the oil industry and then, strange shit happens.
Five years after publishing what amounts to little more than a scientific note (peer reviewed and administratively approved), one of the scientists who wrote it, is getting hammered.
This complaint has been filed on his behalf by PEER. It looks like a witch hunt, it walks like a witch hunt, it smells like a witch hunt (and meanwhile, the projects he's working on -he's one of the main researchers in the field of arctic biology- screech to a halt and become worthless.
Criminal investigators.... you really should read this complaint. it contains some transcripts of the interviews from the investigation. Mind boggling. And this is done with American tax money.
(soon nobody will want to do the research any more)
This article - a scientific note - was published in 2006 by Gleason & Monnett. Both received so much flak from their own department over this, that Gleason decided to up and leave for a lower pay scale elsewhere, So he could work without being harassed. It's a long read but really, everyone should take the time to read through this transcript of the interview investigators had with Gleason.
It's a prime example of ideology in action, bending facts to your own version of events.
Some newspaper articles; key quotes from the second article:
It's not a good time to be a biologist or climatologist or any kind of scientist even remotely connected with climate science!!

Some newspaper articles; key quotes from the second article:
Monnett is overseeing several scientific studies that would affect decisions on permits for oil and gas development, according to PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch. The group filed a misconduct complaint today against government officials on Monnett’s behalf.
The state of Alaska filed a lawsuit claiming the polar-bear decision would limit resource development and the economy.
A federal judge rejected that challenge last month. The agency’s listing “represents a reasoned exercise” of its discretion based on the facts and the available science in 2008 when it made the determination, U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan in Washington wrote in a 116-page ruling.
President Barack Obama created an interagency working group led by the Interior Department to oversee oil and natural-gas exploration in Alaska. The group will coordinate permit decisions and environmental reviews for onshore and offshore projects, including Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSA)’s plan to drill in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas.
“As we go into this period, this critical window where permits are going to be decided, you’ll do it without the benefit” of Monnett’s work
It's not a good time to be a biologist or climatologist or any kind of scientist even remotely connected with climate science!!

Magnus Malan is dead
Good riddance.
He is dead.
He carries so many deaths, injuries and mental anguish with him - certainly approaching the league of the worst dictators and tyrants on this earth.
This atheist wishes there were an afterlife so he could meet and greet all his victims.
He did not deserve a long, prosperous life ending in a natural death in old age.

Unimaginable!
That the rich upwelling biomass producing areas of the oceans will ever be empty... of the life we need to survive. Empty, no I don't think it ever will be. There will still be food so there will still be organisms that make use of the food to grow and flourish. But it won't be the creatures we have seen all these generations that grow in that rich broth, this is becoming a hostile world for them. Instead, other animals better equipped to survive these conditions, will take over and evolve.
It's evolution on a grand scale. I played the computer game once. What a shame that the human life is too short to see the changes fluctuate over time, perhaps that would change the mindset of most short-term thinkers.
Interesting times.
