JOHN O'SULLIVAN PETITION

John O'Sullivan: International Scientists & Economists Expose Biofuels Boondoggle

Thursday, February 16th 2012, 2:04 PM EST

Co2sceptic (Site Admin)

The insanity of the biofuel boondoggle is devastatingly exposed in coordinated new action by international scientists and economists. Over 200 experts with Phd's in climate, energy and economics have put their names to a damning statement issued to European policymakers to abandon biofuels and avert a spiraling worldwide food crisis (H/T: Dr. Matthias Kleespies).

The backdrop to the latest plea for sanity is a 21st Century world of cooling temperatures and extraordinarily vast new oil and gas finds that confound last century 'peak oil' and man-made global warming fears. The experts' letter to the European Commission entitled, 'International Scientists and Economists Statement on Biofuels and Land Use' urges the EC to "recognize and account for indirect land use change impacts as a part of the lifecycle analyses of heat-trapping emissions from biofuels."

Planet Suffers Seven Percent Loss of Arable Land Due to Biofuels

Scientists are concerned that the unintended consequence of the mad rush to biofuels has inflicted a crippling loss of 7 percent of arable land to food production causing the price of basic foodstuffs to rocket in third world nations. They are issuing this heartfelt public plea for other concerned scientists to come forward and be counted by adding their names to their EC letter.

PETITION REPEAL THE ACT

MUST SIGN PETITION: Repeal the Climate Change Act

Tuesday, March 15th 2011, 10:59 AM EDT

Co2sceptic (Site Admin)

Target: Prime Minister David Cameron 10 Downing Street, London SW1A 2AA

Region: United Kingdom

Web site: http://www.repealtheact.co.uk

Tweet this petition: TWEET LINK

Background (Preamble):

The Climate Change Act [2008] is a catastrophic policy blunder, because it commits Britain, uniquely in the world, to a legally binding long-term framework to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 80 per cent by 2050. This amounts to £734 billion, the most costly law ever put through Parliament. These targets are totally unrealistic and unobtainable without shutting down the British economy.

Criticisms of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC intensified when leaked emails from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit showed that leading scientists manipulated data to “hide the decline” in temperatures and suppressed legitimate arguments in peer-reviewed journals.

CLIMATEGATE STATEMENT PETITION HEADLINE STORY

BREAKING: Veil Lifted on French Academy Debate on Climate

Tuesday, September 21st 2010, 8:23 AM EDT

Co2sceptic (Site Admin)

PARIS—The French Academy of Sciences finally produced a statement after a full day of debate on climate change Monday that had been shrouded in secrecy.

The debate followed a rumpus triggered by former research minister Claude Allègre and a handful of other scientists, who have contested the causes of climate change. The debate was ordered by Education and Research Minister Valérie Pécresse in April, after more than 600 scientists signed a petition alleging "denigration" by Allègre in his book L'imposure climatique (The Climate Fraud) and asking her to disavow it.

The statement appears to be in response to an outburst at the weekend from the French daily Le Monde.

In a front-page editorial, the paper lambasted a total blackout on the debate, the identity of the participants and their submissions. "What is it (that the Academy is) afraid of," it asked. The secrecy "arouses suspicion."

According to the statement, participants in the debate concluded that links between solar radiation variations and the earth's orbit are not contested, but that the jury is still out on the importance of the impact of solar activity cycles.

Reply to article from Jonathan Drake: Response to Statement from the UK Government re: CRU Epetition.

Thursday, May 6th 2010, 9:46 AM EDT

Co2sceptic (Site Admin)

Excerpts:
Towards the end of last year, 2009, an Epetition was created and submitted by Mike Haseler to the UK Government regarding the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA). Nearly 3300 signatures were attached to it and the Government responded on 24th March 2010. The petition request was: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/UEACRU/

Quote: We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to suspend the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia from preparation of any Government Climate Statistics until the various allegations have been fully investigated by an independent body.

So here we have the revelation that GISS is inferior to CRU, some of the data is not used and adjustments are included, although the three sets agree on decadal scales over land. We need to remind ourselves that the Earth is two thirds covered by water, so what about the rest? But the CRU version is now in question and being investigated and an expert considers GISS to be inferior. Apparently these inconvenient facts are immaterial to the Government.

Next, let us finish with the final line of the petition request:

Quote: We call on the PM to suspend all further use of the climate research unit until all pertinent allegations have been investigated and any action (if any) has been taken.

This has been completely disregarded and thus goes unmentioned and obviously, without action. Business continues as usual at CRU.

ROBERT FERGUSON PETITION

The Peabody Petition to the EPA by Robert Ferguson, SPPIblog.com

Wednesday, February 17th 2010, 3:16 PM EST

Co2sceptic (Site Admin)

Peabody Energy has filed a petition [executive summary] with the EPA asking them to reconsider their findings that greenhouse gases released by human activities “threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations.” The Peabody Petition was filed in light of the massive evidence of the manipulation of the IPCC process—a processes highly prized by the EPA—which has been exposed by the Climategate emails. The EPA conducted little-to-no assessment of their own into the science of climate change, but instead relied heavily on the work of the IPCC—work which the Petition shows, in no uncertain terms, is tainted and unreliable.

The full Petition is one of the strongest cases yet presented that the EPA’s reliance on the IPCC Assessment Reports is misplaced, scientifically as well legally. It includes an in-depth look at the behind-the-scenes manipulation that took place with such topics as the “hockeystick,” tree-ring divergence, the “trick,” the warm early Holocene, the Medieval Warm Period, the surface temperature record, Freedom on Information requests, scientific peer-review, journal contents, and many other topics.

Here is an excerpt (from the 200+ page Petition) that provides a general summary of the science problems:
