IT’S A SIGN
Virginia Trioli introduces a segment on last night’s Lateline:
Time is running out for the living planet according to a new report from the United Nations. It says the environment has reached crisis point where population growth and global warming imperilling the earth and to some experts, the fires currently devastating California are the latest sign of how climate change is affecting humanity.
And then she throws to Simon Palan, who reports:
Four people have been arrested on arson suspicion so far and $US150,000 reward is offered for any information leading to further arrests.
Those people are called “climate change”, apparently. Five are now under arrest for arson; the reward for information on these climate changers has been increased to $250,000.
UPDATE. An earlier report from Californian reader Saltydog.
Arsonists! The human link to gloabl warming!

Peter Staudenmaier“We recognize that separating humanity from nature, from the whole of life, leads to humankind’s own destruction and to the death of nations. Only through a re-integration of humanity into the whole of nature can our people be made stronger. That is the fundamental point of the biological tasks of our age. Humankind alone is no longer the focus of thought, but rather life as a whole . . . This striving toward connectedness with the totality of life, with nature itself, a nature into which we are born, this is the deepest meaning and the true essence of National Socialist thought.” 1
Dont know this guy or his credibility level but… anyhoo, y’all smarter folk might now.
Here’s the site for that opening para he uses:
Footnotes
1. Ernst Lehmann, Biologischer Wille. Wege und Ziele biologischer Arbeit im neuen Reich, München, 1934, pp. 10-11. Lehmann was a professor of botany who characterized National Socialism as “politically applied biology.”Kinda funny if our beloved eco-luvvies turned out to be practicing Nazis afterall, eh?
Police in California are taking the lead in fighting global warming.
I just have to work out how.
Never forget the root causes, T.M., although with climate change, that’s a moving target.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2007 10 26 at 10:11 PM • permalinkpaco, that’s a good way to fight climate change. Even if it is a moving target.

Thanks.
I do hope the VRWC gets a better SOP written up on this cultural conquest thing. Foreigners have too many funny ways of counting things. There aughta be a law.
Next thing you know, they’ll be sticking u’s into words all willy nilly just to be different.
So, that’s probably where all the confusion comes from in this glowball warmerizing thing. Too many folk using all sorts of weird measuring sticks and nothing matches up proper.
Promos on seven on Thursday night (just watching a time shifted copy) about the Special Investigation on Channel 7 News of “What the government doesn’t want us to know about the Great Barrier Reef”. Talking bone-dome Garrett is up there spruiking that we all need to know. Video of a snorkeller pulling out chunks of dead coral from a dead part of reef.
I wonder if it’s got anything to do with Garrett trying to have the $12k fee for FOI waived. I wonder what sort of financial hardship he claimed for the waiver…
#17 Hmm. Used to be the family anthem. That and this.
Advent Children. Is that a game?
I recently had a friend staying with her teenage son who was playing games with lots of shoot-em-up and knock-em-down and blood and gore (he assures me the TV is self cleaning internally). I was interested in the stories to go with the games, but he was a bit engrossed much of the time to explain.
#13 Kae, you’ll have to hold on a bit longer. Even Sarkozy has now decided to play along. Among his planet-saving proposals: a ban on single-paned windows. WTF!?
Arsonists are now “free-lance climate changers”?
On that note, don’t be at all surprised if more of this week’s wildfires turn out to be “of suspicious origin”.
Posted by Spiny Norman on 2007 10 26 at 11:57 PM • permalink#27 D’ya think he meant single glazed windows?
Mr Sarkozy said that by 2020, all new buildings should “produce more energy than they consume”, without elaborating.
A bit like Kevvie’s grasp of using solar power in schools.
“... the transducer puts the power back into the grid and you just use it when you need it…” (prolly paraphrased a little)mentioned in an earier thread.
Kinda sorta off topic, maybe, but possibly more on topic than I usually am.

Glerbol Warm-mongering is a current symptom, the docu aims at the root cause.

Yes, but I understand they have to pay The Goreacle™, as He sells the franchise.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2007 10 27 at 01:59 AM • permalink...a new report from the United Nations. It says the environment has reached crisis point where population growth and global warming…
Did anyone else notice that the report was not a UN report but one from the widely discredited IP committee thingy.
Furthermore, it dealt with the effects of excess population, not AGW.
Now, I don’t want to start anything nasty, but shouldn’t this thread be discussing population reduction rather than global warming?Hmmm… so if somebody, let’s say hypothetically as might be myself, starts a criminal enterprise and names it “Climate Change,” then when we - I mean they - commit a caper everyone tells the cops it was climate change wot did it, and off they go chasing who knows what but not us? I mean, but not them?
Right. This is going to be sooooo sweet. You’ll be hearing a lot about the depredations of “Climate Change” pretty soon (wink, wink).

Free meds, pretty nurses, easy hours. A guy could get used to this.
I especially like the part where I don’t ever have to wash dishes or do laundry.
Oh, and just to really get under the skin of the On Topic bullies…
MMO are a kind of computer game. It means a persistant world (it’s always there) that you make a character to interact with other players in that game world. Lots of people playing together, doing adventures, quests, exploring, crafting, socializing…probably the cheapest possible bang for buck in entertainment these days, if you enjoy doing it.
You can go to youtube and search for “lotro” and you’ll find some vids players have made from their play in the game world. Lots of them are folk trying out the new music system where your character can play an instrument..but there are some good traveloges and game play demos as well.

I think the reason they went off the air in Austin is that somebody slipped prozac into the water.
The earth’s atmosphere is made up of:
Nitrogen - 78%
Oxygen - 20%
Argon - 0.9%
Carbon Dioxide - .038%
Various other gases - the balance of around 0.072%.
The main ingredients required for combustion are Fuel, Oxygen and a box of matches. Triolips and her cohorts in the ABC are waging a scare campaign of their own. Nothing new there - not in the last 30 years or more, anyway.The climate changed tonight where I live, being a bit warmer than the last couple of nights. It affected humanity (well, me anyway) by making it unnecessary to don a sweatshirt. Film at 11.

Are they enviro-islamists or global warmers?
Posted by Wimpy Canadian on 2007 10 27 at 10:17 AM • permalinkkae asked:
Advent Children. Is that a game?
Sort of. It’s a CGI movie based on one of the Final Fantasy games. (Why it’s “Final” Fantasy when there’s been 12+ games so far, I have no idea.)
Sort of like the Street Fighter movie, except with better-looking special effects.
Posted by Patrick Chester on 2007 10 27 at 07:42 PM • permalinkkae: The DVD’s been out for awhile now. Might want to check out a rental and see it. The full title is Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
The Final Fantasy VII game was on one of the older console games. Playstation, I think. Back in the 90s. Some sort of “gather ancient artifacts to save the Planet from imminent DOOOOOM” tale in it.
Posted by Patrick Chester on 2007 10 27 at 08:30 PM • permalinkUgh. Remembered one of the main subplots: Evil Corporation siphoning the Life Energy of the Planet. (Literally. Some greenish flowing energy stuff.)
So I guess take it with a grain of salt.
Posted by Patrick Chester on 2007 10 27 at 08:47 PM • permalinkWell, I never played the game and only absorbed bits of info from net.friends who were playing the game at the time. There were these things called Artifact Weapons which were Boss Monsters of some sort, I guess.
Don’t know if there was one that had hot air and freezing attacks, but if there was I would definitely call it Artifact Weapon Gore. Or maybe MechaGorezilla?
(It’s a Japanese game, got to use those names that are the result of bad translations into English by either someone who speaks English, or someone who speaks Japanese.)

Yeah, but Climate Change made them arsonists. Isn’t that obvious?
I just have to work out how.
