European eco-zealots want international enviro-crimes court
Welcome to the Green World Order, where you will bow before the altar of the global warming gods or be punished and prosecuted:
Stephen Hockman QC is proposing a body similar to the International Court of Justice in The Hague to be the supreme legal authority on issues regarding the environment.
The first role of the new body would be to enforce international agreements on cutting greenhouse gas emissions set to be agreed next year.
But the court would also fine countries or companies that fail to protect endangered species or degrade the natural environment and enforce the “right to a healthy environment”.
The innovative idea is being presented to an audience of politicians, scientists and public figures for the first time at a symposium at the British Library.
Mr Hockman, a deputy High Court judge, said that the threat of climate change means it is more important than ever for the law to protect the environment.
The UN Climate Change Conference in Poznan, Poland this month is set to begin negotiations that will lead to a new agreement to replace the Kyoto Protocol in Copenhagen next year. Developed countries are expected to commit to cutting emissions drastically, while developing countries agree to halt deforestation.
Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, has agreed the concept of an international court will be taken into account when considering how to make these international agreements on climate change binding. The court is also backed by a number of MPs, climate change experts and public figures including the actress Judi Dench.

Judi Dench?! Leo diCaprio and Gwynnie Paltrow have not yet been contacted for their expert opinions yet, but were said to approve the global court scheme as well.

The arrogance of these allegedly sentient beings is preposterous. The next step in the process is to create a court to rule on how to keep the universe from expanding, to outlaw the big-bang theory, and to eliminate the speed of light to conserve energy. All of the above falls in line with “controlling” climate change. When are these pseudo-intellectuals going to realize that there ARE forces bigger than our species that do not bend to our control. DOPES.
I will reserve judgement until Meryl Streep has made her opinion known.
I automatically discount the opinion of experts. Especially unnamed experts.
I’m sure the Goracle will figure out how to get his cut of the fines that will be levied, no?
No doubt this “court” would find America in “violation” of nearly everything.
China and the rest of the world? Not so much.
What was FDRs greatest contribution to the demise of liberty?

F**k em!
My favorite climate experts will be the first ones to be tried as ‘deniers’:
Claude Allegre, Ph.D.
A member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and French Academy of Science, Allegre was among the first scientists to sound the alarm on potential dangers from global warming. His view now: “The cause of this climate change is unknown.”
Richard Lindzen, Ph.D.
A professor of meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a member of the National Research Council Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, Lindzen says global warming alarmists “are trumpeting catastrophes that couldn’t happen even if the models were right.”
Habibullo Abdussamatov, Ph.D.
Head of the space research laboratory of the Russian Academy of Science’s Pulkova Observatory and head of the International Space Station’s Astrometria Project, Abdussamatov reports, “the common view that man’s industrial activity is a deciding factor in global warming has emerged from misinterpretation of cause and effect relations.”
Richard Toi, Ph.D.
Principal researcher at the Institute for Environmental Studies at Vrije Universiteit and adjunct professor at the Carnegie Mellon University Center for Integrated Study of the Human Dimensions of Global Change, Toi calls the IPCC reports “preposterous … alarmist and incompetent.”
Sami Solanki, Ph.D.
Director and scientific member at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany, Solanki argues changes in the sun’s state, not human activity, may be the principal cause of global warming. Says Solanki, “The sun has been at its strongest over the past 60 years and may now be affecting global temperatures.”
Freeman Dyson, Ph.D.
A professor at Princeton University and one of the most eminent physicists in the world, Dyson reports the models used to justify global warming are “full of fudge factors” and “do not begin to describe the real world.”
Eigil Friis-Christensen, Ph.D.
Director of the Danish National Space Center and vice president of the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy, Friis-Christensen argues changes in the sun’s behavior could very well account for most of the warming during the past century.
The hubris of these people is astonishing. The Lilliputins of the 21st Century

I hope there will be a Martian contingent at the conference since the average surface temperature of Mars has increased at the same rate as that here on Earth. Those pesky ‘green-house’ gases seem to be able to find their way anywhere!!!

What a bunch of idiots, I wonder if they hear themselves?

I am waiting for the one to tell me my opinion on this.

I think this group is outnumbered by the Chinese and Indians…
So who gets indicted and dragged befor the court, Dr. Solanki or the sun?
Notice the all seeing eye of Horus. It is a human eye.
I will BZO my weapon on the eye ball.
Are you implying that the sun is somehow warming the earth? Preposterous.
Well, you can do what you can to try to reduce emissions during the day, but it’s hard to control nocturnal emissions.
Needed an actress on the list to give it credibility.

One Sunday edition of the New York Times consumes about 75,000 trees.
My dog says that paper better shut down as soon as he’s house trained.
Meanwhile the “developing” countries will INCREASE thier emissions drastically. Which doesn’t matter since they are on a different planet from us right? right?
There are not enough pressing, serious, i.e. REAL problems, that these fools get media attention? Enough is enough. Please put some adults in charge immediately!

Sorry…
Not at all. It’s obvious the Viking Lander has been puking out gargantuan amounts of CO2 to have caused global warming on Mars. The fact that the warming is the exact same percentage as there has been here is an amazing coincidence, that’s all.
I suppose for the same reason you should listen to Sir Paul McCartney’s opinion on marriage or Sir Elton John’s opinion on…marriage…
Really, how are people like this allowed to even get close to the levers of power? This is nuts.

We are still a sovreign nation; I’m praying Pres Obama will decide he wants to keep it that way.
Al Queda has released a statement that they will begin using smokeless bombs with degradeable casings which emit only oxygen and nitrogen gasses, and come in seven different flower fragrances.
Also, they have committed to retrieving their small arms brass for reloading/recycling. “We are committed to a clean environment, in addition to the destruction of the Great Satan and their Zionist pawns!”
I wouldn’t count on it. If our soldiers can be arrested and dragged to the hauge for trial, then it is time for a rebelion. In every sense of that word.
sovereignty
Noun
pl -ties
1. the political power a nation has to govern itself
2. the position or authority of a sovereign
Is there a language barrier?
Does that include changing from lead bullets to “green” bullets like the us army did? How does this affect thier carbon footprint?
My sovereignty has more guns than your sovereignty.
I wonder how the us army would react to its soldiers being dragged before the ICC? Hint, NOT WELL.

Yes, their talent in one area doesn’t translate into expertise in another. I’d say their judgment speaks volumes more than anything else, no matter what the LSM tries to say.

“Lame” is certainly true.
Which is why we don’t subscribe to a newspaper or magazine @ our house. ABC, CBS, and NBC are strictly off-limits during their “news hour.”
I can’t worry about global warming right now. I’m too busy trying to stay warm. Apparently that wind whipping through every crack in the house hasn’t gotten the message yet.
Just for this month, we’ve started an experiment @ our house…see if we can survive w/only the woodstove. No electric heat pump for us. We’re a week into it, and so far (in MD) we’re doing just fine. Hopefully, we’ll save a few pennies on next month’s electric bill.
“So much for global warming!”
Do mass graves emit greenhouse gases? How about when a woman dishonors her family and has to be thrown into an oven?…does that emit greenhouse gases?
Stream of consciousness…
Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) is a hoax perpetuated by the
Vast LEFT-Wing Conspiracy (VLWC).
Why? To bring the “imperialistic” USA “empire to its knees”.
The members of the “57 state” OIC are part of the VLWC.
The USA has at least three times as much oil in the ground as Saudi Arabia has.
The only reason the USA is not 100% energy independent (and even a top oil EXPORTER) is because of the VLWC.
President Reagan didn’t “win” the cold war… he just won some battles in an ideological war that is ongoing. If anything, we are worse off at the moment because the threat hasn’t been recognized by most Americans until now (witness all of the recent “cold war” DRUDGE headlines about Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, China, etc.).
Putin has had almost 9 years in power, rebuilding Russia with oil and gas revenues. Russia is the #2 exporter of oil (Saudi Arabia being #1).
While Putin has used revenues from these exports to rebuild, we have been held hostage (prevented from becoming energy independent) by the VLWC.
Marxist/Leninists & Jihadists don’t want us drilling for oil offshore.
Marxist/Leninists & Jihadists don’t want us tapping into the hundreds of billions of barrels of oil in oil shale.
Marxist/Leninists & Jihadists especially don’t want us drilling for oil in ANWR because Russia wants Alaska back…
Putin (through his puppet Dmitry Medvedev) had the armies of Russia invade Georgia. I believe it is a very real possibility that he wants Alaska back, too. All the more reason why Putin hates Sarah Palin. (It’s also no joke that you can see Russia from parts of Alaska).
WOW!!
Environmentally friendly warfare.
Can we make this retroactive and arrest the French for deforesting all of Haiti? People to this day lose their lives due to that stupidity.
sonofdy said: (#35)
Not if we sign a treaty, which is of equal weight with the US Constitution, darn it.
Ask John McCain if he would go along with this “International Court of Justice”.
I suspect he would, as he buys into the AGW hoax.
That’s funny, right there.
So, what — they wanna throw me in jail now?

Agreed on all counts. Although, if you really understand what’s going on, some of their spin can be good for a laugh.
These are probably the same idiots that signed the petition to ban Dihydrogen monoxide(H2O).
Major corporations that are pushing hardest for “Cap n’ Trade” legislation. General Electric is a major windmill producer and has the largest congressional lobbying budget of any company in the world. General Electric would receive a huge windfall if this so-called “market” is ever made mandatory or legalized even more than it already is.
As one columnist said, “There’s an elephant in global warming’s living room that few in the mainstream media want to talk about: the creators of the carbon credit scheme are the ones cashing in on it”.

That reminds me of an observation I made several months ago…despite empirical evidence that the pro-ID crowd outnumbers the
anti-ID crowd nearly 3 to 1, any opposition to the VLWC-promoted theory of Darwinian Evolution is EXPELLED.
They’re funnier than most cartoons these days.
Ben Stein needs to make an “Expelled”-type movie wrt AGW skeptics and their careers. It’s amazing how people supposedly dedicated to the scientific method of following the factual data to wherever it leads can be so parochial.
Who really “gets it“?
Let’s see how often the Presidential candidates mentioned “sovereign” or “sovereignty” in their speeches at CPAC:
Senator John McCain: 0
Former Governor Mitt Romney: 0
Congressman Ron Paul: 1
Former Governor Mike Huckabee: 5
Today Show co-host Meredith Vieira told viewers that global warming could cause sea levels to rise 200 feet. But that’s not what the experts are saying. Under its worst-case scenario, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts that Sea levels would rise by 27 inches over the next 100 years. So Meredith was off by 99%.
She forgot to carry The One.

Yeah, I heart Huckabee. He could’ve had my vote if things had worked out differently.
“Green Week,” NBC’s annual effort to show you how to “green your routine.” It sounds innocuous enough, but “Green Week” is actually part of a manipulative business strategy employed by General Electric (GE), the owner of NBC.
GE is a world leader in the production of clean energy goods and services that people don’t want to buy, like compact fluorescent light bulbs. That’s why it spends millions every year to convince the Congress to pass laws like last year’s energy bill, which forces consumers to buy compact fluorescent light bulbs.
Generally speaking, Americans don’t like being told what to do, so GE uses “Green Week” to propagate global warming alarmism and frighten Americans into accepting rules and regulations that force them to buy GE products.

Next year, thanks to the US Supreme Court, dairy farmers will have to pay 150 dollars per cow in fines because the cows fart too much. No kidding, this is required to save 5 milleseconds on the global warming clock.
Our Supreme Court is suffering from acute insanity.
Why Poland? Don’t they know how cold Poland is this month? They would have better luck scheduling all these conferences in July.
Gee, what would happen if a nation were to tell them to go jump off a cliff? How do they think they are going to enforce anything?

I am the proud owner of a ‘Ban DHMO’ t-shirt (which can be found here). It’s easy to fit in with the loons in a shirt like this, and the state of public education is such that most people don’t have a clue what DHMO is.
It’s hysterical in a pathetic and sad sort of way.
Just for amusement I took some historical quotes and placed them next to comments by a few leading Climate Fascists. Here are the results:
