Image caption According to the report, Brexit would leave Britain's environment vulnerable

A report has suggested that a UK departure from the EU would leave Britain's environment "in a more vulnerable and uncertain position."

The study has been prepared by the independent Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP).

According to the analysis, membership has had "a significant positive impact" on the environment.

But pro-Brexit campaigners dismissed the report as "complete tosh".

A deep source tells me that the part about what a Brexit would do to our sun was kept from the public to avoid general alarm and panic.

Rather the opposite, actually.

US Attorney General Loretta Lynch Wants to Prosecute ‘Climate Deniers’: Here’s Why She’ll Fail
Hoisted by her own petard.
It reminds us of something I’ve often remarked on before: the cabal of activists, scientists, academics, shyster politicians and hacks promoting the global warming agenda are quite astonishingly low grade. They’re low grade morally – which you’d expect – but they’re also so low-grade in terms of competence, credibility and intellect that it’s quite amazing how they manage to hold down their jobs. . . .
The scientists involved are not even third-rate, they are no-rate.
What’s really going to do for the Climate Alarmists in the end, I think, though, is not so much their stupidity or their venality but their arrogance and their complacency. They’re so spoilt by being part of a protected, padded, taxpayer-funded Establishment, so used to dismissing their opponents with appeals to authority, ad hominems and bully boy tactics that they’ve completely lost sight of how weak their position is.
I hope that the US AG proceeds. The discovery process will be most interesting. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

While my confirmation bias would very much like to believe that Snowden actually made this claim
and has the docs to back it up,

the evidence indicates that it is another fake internet story with no independent confirmation.

Democratic attorneys general to police climate change dissent

By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Tuesday, March 29, 2016

A coalition of Democratic attorneys general in 16 states announced Tuesday an unprecedented campaign to pursue companies that challenge the catastrophic climate change narrative, raising concerns over free speech and the use of state authority to punish political foes.

Meanwhile, Tom Friedman does an on the ground expose of what's been causing the Great African Exodus from the Sahara:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/13/opini ... frica.html
Just as Syria’s revolution was set off in part by the worst four-year drought in the country’s modern history — plus overpopulation, climate stresses and the Internet — the same is true of this African migration wave. That’s why I’m here filming an episode for the “Years of Living Dangerously” series on climate change across the planet, which will appear on National Geographic Channel next fall. I’m traveling with Monique Barbut, who heads the U.N. Convention to Combat Desertification, and Adamou Chaifou, Niger’s minister of environment.

Chaifou explains that West Africa has experienced two decades of on-again-off-again drought. The dry periods prompt desperate people to deforest hillsides for wood for cooking or to sell, but they are now followed by increasingly violent rains, which then easily wash away the topsoil barren of trees. Meanwhile, the population explodes — mothers in Niger average seven children — as parents continue to have lots of kids for social security, and each year more fertile land gets eaten by desertification. “We now lose 100,000 hectares of arable land every year to desertification,” says Chaifou. “And we lose between 60,000 and 80,000 hectares of forest every year.”

As long as anyone could remember, he says, the rainy season “started in June and lasted until October. Now we get more big rains in April, and you need to plant right after it rains.” But then it becomes dry again for a month or two, and then the rains come back, much more intense than before, and cause floods that wash away the crops, “and that is a consequence of climate change” — caused, he adds, primarily by emissions from the industrial North, not from Niger or its neighbors.

Says the U.N.’s Barbut, “Desertification acts as the trigger, and climate change acts as an amplifier of the political challenges we are witnessing today: economic migrants, interethnic conflicts and extremism.” She shows me three maps of Africa with an oblong outline around a bunch of dots clustered in the middle of the continent. Map No. 1: the most vulnerable regions of desertification in Africa in 2008. Map No. 2: conflicts and food riots in Africa 2007-2008. Map No. 3: terrorist attacks in Africa in 2012.
But rest assured, in this new warmed up world, the Europeans can now migrate up north themselves to the Arctic to make more room for the Africans!

If the evidence for man-made global warming - climate change was overwhelming then there would be no need for the thought police.

It is effectively a frank admission that the evidence is marginal at best and that the doomsday claims are bogus.

While a greener Earth might seem like a positive from CO2-induced global warming, along with milder winters and longer growing seasons,
oh no, milder winters and longer growing seasons and more greenery.
he said there were many more negative impacts — including rising sea levels and severe weather. "These will eventually outweigh by far any benefit from the greening," he said.
i wonder if their was any proof for that statement :)

if some places will flood and some places will get bigger storms, that doesnt mean the increased food production across the entire planet is 'outweighed'

Did you notice Friedman used the word Niger twice in the first paragraph? What a Racist!

Interesting that people without the means to feed children often have more. Sex as a narcotic that temporary provides relief from existential pain?
