Who Cares?

The eco warriors, like all fanatics, dislike discussion.  They are right. Always.  

Yesterday I made a comment on a Facebook post of someone who is ardently against the plan for fracking in Fife.  I respect anyone who has firm convictions but the respect diminishes when common sense is lacking.  Her post was to protest about the lack of interest of Fifers in the recently awarded fracking licences.  She’s furious there are a lack of objections to the plans and refuses to accept the answer that obviously people aren’t concerned.  

I did attempt to ask if she thought fracking would be more damaging to the environment than the thousands of windmills which have been thrust upon our beautiful countryside, but there was no response.

The above prompted me to suggest this post may be of interest to those of us who are concerned with the Scottish Government’s green policies. It is a global poll carried out by the United Nations.

Recently China, in order to preserve its industries, stated its use of fossil fuels would peak in 2030.  It appears Obama is quite happy with China’s stance. Westminster has been quiet in the hope that the greenies will not introduce mass protests against China and India’s policies of building unlimited coal fuelled power stations.

In the comments of my recommended article, I note that several people are concerned about the effect the warmest agenda will have on our future trust in science.

I believe that the only hope for science, academic institutions, as well as government, and the mainstream media is a full and honest exposure of what has been fabricated by the so called “environmentalist” movement. The failures, deceit, and plundering by previously well respected academic institutions is appalling. A gentle “sweeping under the rug” is not going to bring respect back to these once leading monuments of the free world. I don’t believe the mainstream media will ever recover. Only a complete and open reversal will offer any chance of that but I will not hold by breath.

The greenies have created a hideous mess with the promotion of this false science.  How will we recover?

If the above graph (taken from here) is anything to go by most of us aren’t interested in action on climate change.  That’s not good news for countries but of course it will be celebrated in environmentalist quarters. They are free to continue destroying populations.

It’s time we decided to bring a halt to those spreading their false science. Climate change may not be important in the many people’s everyday life priorities but the fanatics must not be given free reign. We must care in order to protect the future of honest scientists the world over.

What Is The Greens Answer To Our Future Energy Needs?

This week the first licence for the gas drilling technique known as fracking, was granted in Scotland, with more likely to follow.


This was passed to me by Edward.  It originated from Phllip Foster.


Shale Oil has been extracted in Scotland for 100 years.


Of course Huhne is ignorant of the fact that shale oil and gas extraction is nothing new.  In reality this was the first large scale operation of its kind in the world - in West Lothian, Scotland.  The operations were only ceased when they were undercut by directly extracted oil from the USA and the Middle East.


The company founded by James 'Paraffin' Young extracted vast amounts of petroleum from coal and shale in West Lothian for more than 100 years and at the peak, extraction was almost 3 million imperial tons per annum.  Bathgate chemical works was then possibly the largest on Earth.


Billions of tons of shale and coal remain underground in the area.


While environmentalists, such as Friends of the Earth Scotland, want a ban on the fracking process, I find it difficult to determine exactly what the green lobbies' answer is to our future energy requirements as they're against nuclear, coal and now fracking. Do they really want to destroy the country, both economically and socially?


We need energy to survive. Part of our political representatives' duty is to ensure the people are provided with adequate energy at affordable prices. No energy source is free from risk or damage to the environment, but if shale is found and can be retrieved at a sensible cost, surely that can only be good for Scotland.
