Eco madness may be reason for disastrous Boeing 737 MAX safety issuesWe need to know if safety considerations at Boeing took a back seat to producing a climate-friendly plane. There are implications for other companies. After all, as Bernie Sanders says, “You cannot go too far on the issue of climate change. The future of the planet is at stake.” If you believe the world is going to end in 11 years, the deaths of a few poor air travelers is a small price to pay for appeasing the climate gods. nypost.com/2019/10/23/devine-eco-madness-may-be-reason-for-disastrous-boeing-737-max-safety-issues/

The other side of 'reduced emissions' is 'reduced fuel burn' - reduced fuel burn means lower costs and airline beancounters WANT THAT! So give the beancounters reduced costs and publish it as reduced emissions - win win.

"Climate Chains: Follow The Science, Not Emotion, Says NZ Farmer
On 10 October, I wrote to all New Zealand Members of Parliament to express my concern about the Zero Carbon Bill currently before the House. To their credit, the government yesterday opted to exempt agriculture from the Emissions Trading Scheme for the immediate future, and to instead work with environmentalists, farmers, iwi and other stakeholders to manage climate change. However, my concerns remain regarding the scientific foundation on which man made climate change is built, and for remaining policy that will impact every New Zealander into the future. Taxes, premiums on products and services to account for carbon footprints, subsidising forestry initiatives that potentially destroy farmland perpetually along with rural communities, and even having an ETS, are some of these. Please read the letter to MPs below, do your own research, and have your say on this critical issue. Regardless of our differing opinions, let’s find some common ground in that we both want a safe, sustainable future for all. And if you think this article needs to be read and debated widely, please share it."The letter is here: investigatemagazine.co.nz/27520/climate-chains-follow-the-science-not-emotion-says-nz-farmer/

"EU Consensus Broken As 225 MEPs Vote Against ‘Climate Emergency’ Date: 28/11/19
Press Release, European Climate Realist Network
28 November: In a significant moment in the history of the European Parliament, a third of MEPs today voted against attempts to exaggerate the impact of global warming.
The European Climate Realist Network (ECRN) welcomes the votes of 225 MEPs, who this morning rejected the motion by green parties to declare a climate emergency, a motion that was, nevertheless, passed in the European Parliament by 429 MEPs.
In light of our call yesterday for MEPs to vote against the climate emergency declaration, this is an encouraging sign that unquestioning climate alarm is beginning to be seriously challenged.
The vote took place on the same day as Tata Steel Europe has confirmed it will cut 3000 European jobs and amid reports that the new EU Commissioner plans to spend a staggering £3 trillion on a unilateral climate agenda.
The growing division within the EU and the European Parliament over climate policies is likely to deepen in the near future as the astronomical economic, social and political costs become increasingly unbearable."www.thegwpf.com/eu-consensus-broken-as-225-meps-vote-against-climate-emergency/Unfortunately for those living under the EU hegemony, there is no way the EUrocrats can be 'voted out', they are on sinecure jobs for life. The EU parliament is a talking shop with no power that is ignored, and Members of the European Parliament are normally 'brought off' by huge salaries with Net salaries larger than Gross salaries thanks to Croesus level tax free allowances. This vote is remarkable in that a third of MEPs are risking the wrath of the EUrocrats. If you think DC has a swamp problem it is nothing compared to the Brussels/Strasbourg swamp. Les gilet jaunes in France, the German and Netherlands farmers may have some impact. But in France they have had a year of demonstrations that are being put down increasingly forcefully and by EU troops.

They can buy our steel while their workers contemplate revolution. Let em eat cake. As Australia has found with the departure of Rio Tinto Zinc - Europe will need to purchase its metal from abroad. Trump was right to prevent the departure of steel making from the US as it would only be China that picked it up.

Well, the UK election wasn't pitched as a vote for climate change as Brexit dominated the discussion. However the winning party, by alot, had they're leader substituted by a block of ice due to no show at a TV debate on climate change with other party leaders. They also offer the vaguest policy on de-carbonisation. Conservatives take majority by a landslide, very relieved £1 trillion is not ear marked to tear down a mirage.

AND very happy not to freeze your buns off when the trillion pound de-carbonization fix collapses when you really need it. Mirages sometimes have teeth. Now for the Poison Dwarf?
