PALM DESERTS AND GREEN VANDALS

The Stump has copped some flak about the Green Stump credentials over the past couple of years, primarily because the Stump would not jump in the great cess-pool of distorted facts that made up the “settled” science of Climate Change/Global Warming/Cooling. It has been fun watching as Public Opinion shifts with the sheer weight on bulldust hoisted on the long suffering taxpayers exposed as it always would be. The Stump cannot keep up with the sheer number of fraudulent claims uncovered everyday as more and more people awaken from their Jonestown like stupor.

The rabids that previously started frothing at the mouth at the merest suggestion that Climate Change was really just code for Global Scam and daring to question the rank gospel of green are vanishing faster than Bali Tiger. It is becoming almost impossible to find a loud mouth global climate wanker these days and backpedalling is to become a Olympic Medal Sport.

To the relief of the sane, the endless underfed minions of Gore have climbed back inside their mossy and rank soap boxes (organic soap of course) to ponder what could have been in a socialist green world with no people. While the "unassailable facts" from the book of Gore and the high church of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)are looking a very sickening colour of puke rather than green.

By the way, How is the 20m rise is sea levels going? It is now five years since the Gore Fanasty, name any lost islands yet?

As for the IPCC, The Stump did say two years ago it was just an exercise in money laundering and was branded the same as holocaust denier....Apologies not accepted.

"The chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has used bogus claims that Himalayan glaciers were melting to win grants worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Rajendra Pachauri’s Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), based in New Delhi, was awarded up to £310,000 by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the lion’s share of a £2.5m EU grant funded by European taxpayers…

The IPCC had warned that climate change was likely to melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 - an idea considered ludicrous by most glaciologists. Last week a humbled IPCC retracted that claim and corrected its report."

On the local front, Indonesian Government agencies famous the world over for their ability to spot a scam, came up with a stunner this week.

The Jakarta Globe reported:

The Indonesian Forestry Ministry is drafting a decree to include oil palm plantations in the forest sector to comply with international standards in mitigating climate change…“By definition, oil palm plantations will be defined as forest,…

Now a sane person would wonder why would you do that??..Perhaps because…

He(The Forestry Offical)said that "the UN only categorized trees with a certain height as forest trees, without identifying their species".


“It is to anticipate the implementation of the REDD scheme,”

This from a nation who had the nerve to accuse developed nations as pillaging the environment...WHAT A JOKE

But wait there's more from our forest friend!

"Reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) allows forestry countries to receive financial benefits by stopping tree lopping.”

Well there it is…….WEEEEEEEEEE FREE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indonesia is telling the world those millions and millions of acres of environmental deserts called Palm Plantations that replaced some of the most ecological diverse forests in the history of planet are really “forests”.

Best of all those green driven idiots in the West will give them money under the REDD scheme to do so.

In one of the stupidest and most ignorant statements the Stump has read this year, The Indonesian Forest Ministery was reported as saying:


“The oil palm industry did not relate to deforestation.”

Say what!!!!! Have these morons never caught a plane over Sumatera or Kalimantan??? How do these people survive public opinion or more to the point where is the public opinion? Too busy chasing the next free pulsa perhaps.

More of this example of why Indonesia should not and cannot be taken seriously when it comes to the environment is here.

BUSHFIRES AND BURNOFFS

Now the worst of the Bushfires are hopefully over in Australia, the ugly and depressing task of counting the costs must begin.

One issue that is becoming apparent and is bound to create controversy is the role irresponsible but politically correct green policies played in the disaster.

“One of Australia's leading bushfire experts, Rod Incoll, warned Nillumbik Shire Council in a 2003 report that it risked devastation if it went ahead with changes to planning laws proposed by green groups that restricted the removal of vegetation”

They did go ahead with the new regulations and there was devastation, cause and effect..you be the judge?



Unfortunately, the real keepers of the knowledge required to live and work in bushfire prone rural Australia are usually too busy trying to earn a living to bother with the inanities required to run for things like local council positions. The end result is often the self seeking, soy bean swilling, sea (tree) change seeking morons end up driving land use policies in a bush setting that are in effect a ticking time bomb of destruction.

Of course, any farmer or station owner could have told you 20 years ago that regular burning off, vegetation control, establishment of dams and other water storage points was the price to be paid to live on the land in Australia. However, the blood tick like infestation of "inner rural" areas by rabid greens and “hobby” farmers in Australia of the past 20 years has seen bitterly learned lessons gathered over generations disregarded as pseudo environmentalists ride roughshod over hard learnt bush university wisdom.

The insanity of overzealous rstrictions on burning off and on the construction of dams has definitely played a significant role the wholesale destruction of vast swathes of Australia.

And yet they ask why the Stump tends to treat the rabid greens with contempt.

More rabid green lunacy

For those too lazy to chase the link some selected quotes

.......David Packham, a former supervising meteorologist for fire weather nationwide at the Bureau of Meteorology, accused environmentalists of behaving like "eco-terrorists waging a jihad" against prescribed burning.

"The green movement is directly responsible for the severity of these fires through their opposition to prescribed burning,"

and.....

The federal Environment Department's spokeswoman declined to name the applicant behind the proposal to list controlled burning as a "key threatening process".

But bushfire consultant Chris Muller, a former fire officer with the Victorian and West Australian governments, said the proposal would make it even harder to carry out precautionary burn-offs to reduce fuel loads in forests.

"I am appalled that Minister Garrett (You remember him, washed up rock star and Labor Minister for Plastic Bags..Stump) would even contemplate an action that would remove or restrict the use of the only effective large bushfire mitigation tool -- prescribed burning," he said.

"The inevitable consequences of such action are disasters on the scale of that currently experienced in Victoria.
