Canada threatens trade war with EU over oil sands - Yahoo! News

Canada would "explore every avenue at its disposal to defend its interests, including at the World Trade Organization" if a new EU fuel directive were to single out oil sands crude in a "discriminatory, arbitrary or unscientific way," Plunkett wrote.

The proposed EU fuel quality directive would limit use of non-conventional fuel, such as the oil extracted from the vast tar sands in western Canada, saying that exploitation of the oil sands threatens the environment.

Such fuels would be labeled as causing more highly polluting than other sources of crude.

Cold comfort as Himalayan ice caps defy melt fears

THE world's greatest snow-capped peaks, which run in a chain from the Himalayas to Tian Shan on the border of China and Kyrgyzstan, have lost no ice over the past decade, new research shows.

The discovery has stunned scientists, who had believed about 50 billion tonnes of meltwater were being shed each year and not being replaced by new snowfall.

but no, this is supposed to be "settled science"...


500 billion tonnes of melt hasn't happened, in fact, no melt has occurred.

Hello, this is America. Follow green brick (stacks of cash) road and you'll find the reason why anything is done here.

How do you think oil and fossil fuel companies got started and made it big? That road was paved in gold and blood served as the mortar.

There was a time that I thought the greedy oil companies made way to much money so I did something about it. I bought stock in them.

Come again!

How was the road paved in gold and blood was the mortar?

I'm interested in your answer, it's got to be a doozie.

Whether or not what you has has any merit, how do you justify the environmental rippoffs?
