[CTRL] Tony Blair backs away from the Kyoto protocol on alleged "global Warming"
-Caveat Lector- HENRY LAMB Henry Lamb WND Exclusive Commentary Tony Blair backs away from Kyoto Posted: September 24, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern 2005 WorldNetDaily.com The most important news to emerge from Bill Clinton's "Global Initiative," was a statement from Tony Blair that the mainstream media completely ignored. Blair, a long time advocate of the Kyoto Protocol, told the star-studded gathering that "My thinking has changed in the past three or four years. No country is going to cut its growth" to accommodate Kyoto, or any other climate change treaty. After years of staunch support for the Kyoto Protocol, Blair has realized that England cannot meet the treaty's requirements, and if it could, the result would be economic disaster. The emissions targets imposed by Kyoto upon the developed nations that have ratified it, are supposed to be achieved by 2012. The Protocol's governing body will meet in Montreal in December to continue negotiations for the second phase, the period after 2012. Blair says that fast-growing nations such as China and India, which were excluded from the treaty, are not going to shut down their economies or constrain future growth, which is the inevitable consequence of the Kyoto Protocol. Instead, Blair says that nations must work together to advance science and technology, rather than try to reverse the expansion of development and the improved living conditions development brings. Despite this blockbuster announcement by Tony Blair, the major media concentrated on the stars who attended the event and the donations they made to Clinton's initiative. Clinton himself ignored the statement. Appearing on "Meet the Press," Clinton failed to mention Blair's remarks. Instead, Clinton continued to blame human activity for all manner of climate variations. He talked about the Greenland ice cover thinning, but he failed to mention that a thousand years ago, there was no ice cover at all in Greenland. Human use of fossil fuels could not have caused Greenland to be green then. He talked about the huge chunks of ice that are breaking off sections of the polar caps, but he failed to mention the expansion of the glaciers in other areas of the polar regions. Clinton did say that no one "with a straight face" could blame hurricane Katrina on global warming. This statement is a slap in the face to Ross Gelbspan of the Boston Globe, and Robert Kennedy Jr. of the Natural Resources Defense Council. These are just two of the many environmental extremists who wasted no time declaring that global warming caused the disaster on the Gulf Coast. Clinton, and the mainstream media, can pretend that global warming is justification for the Kyoto Protocol, but with Tony Blair, and other developed nations realizing the actual economic cost of compliance, and the utter impossibility of meeting its requirements, the Protocol appears to be in deep trouble. The only fact in the entire global-warming debate that is indisputable, is the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide over the last century. The only proven consequence of this increase is the enhanced growth of nearly all vegetation. Carbon dioxide acts as a fertilizer to almost all known species of vegetation. Virtually all of the negative consequences attributed to increased carbon dioxide are the result of computer models, and speculation. There is no room for speculation about the continued need for energy around the world. There is a direct and measurable correlation between energy use and health, longevity and prosperity. The world should be working on ways to improve access to, and distribution of, affordable energy. Every energy source should be utilized, without artificial governmental restrictions on either access or use. Click to learn more... Rather than mobilizing the world to reduce the use of energy, the United Nations and other international institutions should be promoting the development of more energy sources. Rather than blocking the construction of nuclear power plants, refineries and pipelines, environmental organizations should be promoting their growth and development, so the people in developing nations who live in squalid, unsanitary conditions, can have the energy desperately needed to treat water supplies and refrigerate food and medicines. Rather than impose regulatory constraints on vehicle mileage and fuel blends, government should get out of the way and let the marketplace sort out what the people want. Tony Blair, and other early advocates of global command and control of energy use are beginning to realize that the cost of serious reductions in energy consumption must result in a serious reduction in living standards, economic growth and, ultimately, in health and longevity. This is the real story from Clinton's "Global Initiative," and it won't go away, even if Clinton and the major media try to ignore it.

[CTRL] Arctic National Wildlife Refuge OIL:Now more than ever after 4 hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico in 2 years
-Caveat Lector- ANWR Oil A New Egg in a Strong Basket Economic and Political Insights on American Energy after the Katrina Disaster In the wake of the hurricane disaster in New Orleans, the frailty of Americas energy supply has become all too apparent. For the next number of years, the Gulf of Mexico will remain in the line of fire for more predicted hurricanes. Yet it supplies 28% of Americas oil production. Any damage to the flow of crude oil there has a dramatic effect on the nations fuel supply. It is a valuable egg in a fragile basket. If there is one message that the government and American people need to heed from this situation, it is that diversifying ones supply of oil is the best way to prevent price spikes and fuel shortages and other national energy worries. We need a new egg in a stronger basket. The Gulf of Mexico cant do it alone. That diversification is at hand and is now before Congress: open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas exploration. ANWR has the potential to be Americas largest oil field and is in an area not susceptible to natural disasters. In nearly 30 years of production in Prudhoe Bay, just 50 miles west of the Coastal Plain of ANWR, there have been no natural disasters or delays in supply caused by nature. Alaskan oil is also produced under the strictest environmental regulations on the planet, and oil from ANWR will be produced on solid ground, not in an ocean on vulnerable drilling platforms. Oil from ANWRs coastal plain would take approximately 8 years to bring on line and by that time could tally Alaskan oil to equal one third of US domestic production, surpassing output in the Gulf. Simply put, ANWR oil will help diversify America away from reliance on drilling in the hurricane hazardous Gulf of Mexico. It is the responsibility of Congress to lead America to a more stable energy production platform. This platform must be one that encompasses maximizing domestic production from as many sources as possible. Recent events demonstrate the risk of not doing so. That risk is particularly unacceptable, because in ANWR we have a sensible and realistic solution. America is in dire need of greater domestic oil and gas production as year by year we increase our reliance on foreign oil. We currently import between 58-64% of our oil, depending on the time of year. As our economy grows this figure increases and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. No new energy source that we know of today will lessen this statistic for the next 20 years. Ironically, alternative green technologies such as solar, wind, biofuels and hydrogen fuel cells not only have a bigger production footprint on the environment than oil, they also rely on oil for their construction, component parts, and maintenance. Alternative energies are simply not an immediate realistic solution to our huge demand for energy. Todays oil importation policy was born in an earlier energy crisis, the 1973 OPEC oil embargo. At the time, America was plunged into long lines at the pump, price spikes and tremendous energy worry. OPEC had virtual control. Indeed, similar to now, too many eggs were in too few baskets. We continue to rely on oil from abroad for a majority of our energy supply. Particularly from areas of the world that are unstable and hostile. If we have learned anything from current events we must lessen our dependence on foreign oil and diversify our domestic supply. American crude oil production has been reduced by 25% due to Katrina and our refining capacity reduced by 10%. This leaves America begging for oil. The issue is best described by Ben Lieberman of the Heritage Foundation; Hurricane Katrina struck us at the worst place and time and revealed the vulnerability of the nations energy infrastructure. It should underscore the need to strengthen the resiliency of a system that is barely adequate even under the best of circumstances. This national vulnerability is not just a vulnerability to disasters either. The world appetite for oil is also growing. As noted in the Financial Times September 6, 2005, on present trends, global oil supply needs to rise each year by at least two million barrels a day(to meet demand). ANWR alone could contribute 1 million of those barrels. Those barrels are safe, secure and hurricane proof. We must remember in 1995 Congress approved exploration of the Coastal Plain of ANWR. Had it not been vetoed by then President Clinton, we would currently be producing a million or more additional barrels a day (20% of Americas domestic production). This would have certainly reduced the impact of Katrina, lessened gas price spikes, and decreased our drastic sudden demand for oil imports. If we tend to forget the effects and solutions (supply diversification) to the 1973 oil embargo, Hurricane Katrina has certainly pushed them back on the table. ANWR oil means diversity of supply. ANWR oil means a safer more secure supply of oil. ANWR oil is indeed a new egg

[CTRL] Canadian priest, long-term memory, torture
-Caveat Lector- scroll Canadian priest gets 12 years in jail for child abuse 9/21/05 "Evreux, France (AFP) - Denis Vadeboncoeur, a Canadian priest with a prior conviction for paedophilia, was sentenced to 12 years in prison by a French court for sex abuse of a 14 year-old boy." "The prosecutor at the trial was strongly critical of the former bishop of Evreux, Jacques Gaillot, who gave Vadeboncoeur a parish in 1988 despite having been told that the priest had just served a 20-month prison term in Quebec for sex acts on adolescents including sodomy." http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20050921/wl_canada_afp/francecanadachildsex_050921151945 Providing misleading and reinstatement information a year after it happened: Effects on long-term memory. Peterson, C, Parsons, T and Dean, M Memory 12(1): 1-13, 2004. "The question addressed here is whether misleading suggestions made to children a year after target events had occurred will alter long-term recall. One group (3-13 years old when injured and treated in a hospital Emergency Room) were given both misleading and accurate reinstating information a year later, and recall of target events assessed both 1 week and another year later (i.e., 2 years post-injury). A control group had recall assessed both 1 and 2 years post-injury. Misleading had little effect on children1s recall 1 week later, although a few misled details were reported. However, a year later virtually none of the misleading information was incorporated into long-term recall. Rather, children were more, not less, accurate when recalling details about which they had been misled. Results were attributed to target events having been highly memorable and well rehearsed via previous recalls, and detection of discrepancies between memory and misleading information focusing attention on targeted details."
