Josh from cartoonsbyjosh.com has been extra busy this week. He writes of the latest IPCC debacle:
Christopher Booker suggested a lovely idea for his latest article They did not use it there… it is here instead 😉
Oh but wait…there’s more…Josh also writes:
Also from the article, the sad fact that Wind Turbines, much loved by the renewable energy lobby, requires back up generators if they are going to supply continuous energy.
So what is the difference bewteen now and a greener future? More dead birds and a hideous view? Great.
Something odd is going on re sea level – here is Steve Goddard’s take:

REPLY: I covered it two months ago, old news. Just because Fox and Goddard and a bunch of people are caterwauling now doesn’t mean WUWT “missed” it.

Yes I read that post. But I thought that the rather startling figure in Steve Goddard’s blog (“normalised” Envisat plot) was something new. It looks like an overturning sea level.

Borrowed Josh’s cartoon for our fight against this wind farm
Remember to add a link giving Josh the credit . It would also be polite to ask him directly for permission to post it,.
Good luck with the struggle. Like you, I don’t want our land despoiled with the things.

Bob Tisdale, For those of us old enough to remember those machines that is CLASSIC!! LMAO
Was this machine what Jim Carrey was advertising in the film “The Truman show”? In the kitchen scene with his “wife” near the end?
My mistake – its his onscreen wife Meryl, not Truman, who advertises the slicer-dicer to the viewing audience, Carrey replies “what are you talking about? Who are you talking to?”
Annette, many thanks, that is spot on. I tried contacting Zorro direct but could not find any way of doing so on the blog he linked to.
Zorro – of course you can use the cartoon! Good luck with your campaign. If you are able to add a link to my site that would be great. Thanks!

Precisely. Notice that the real environmental problems of coal are from mining, not burning
++++++++++++++
I have been researching the clean combustion of coal for domestic stoves for several years. In 2010 lab tests of several products showed a reduction in the emissions of particulate matter (PM2.5) of more than 99% compared with existing stove products. It is odd that coal is invariably blamed for the poor performance of the stove. In a similar manner, kerosene (paraffin) is blamed because the device it is burned in produces smoke and smell. Commercial aircraft burn kerosene (Jet A) with very high efficiency – so it is the device, not the fuel that is the problem.
It is unfortunate that false stories about coal dominate discussion of it as an energy source, the acid rain hoax being the most widespread. The particles from power stations are not inherent in the coal, they are a product of the combustion process. It is common for students at university to be taught that the particles come from the coal itself, i.e. that there are clean and dirty coals. Amazing.
“Uranium” from coal burning is an emerging scare. Do the math. Turns out the ‘radiation exposure’ from it is akin to having a stone fireplace or walking in the woods once a year. Walking into a concrete building gives one far greater exposure (because of emissions from the aggregate in the concrete).
Why is it so much green propaganda relies on ignorance for effect? Where and what is the real content? Surely it is not ALL vacuous puffery?
Brilliant Cartoon / Headline . The combination just so captures the essence of this whole situation.
Josh done me a cool T- shirt with his pricelesS ‘Greenpeace in our time’ cartoon.
Now I’m thinking of getting more done, to give to all my environmentalist friends.
It’s great how that image can be read both ways. On the face of it supporting an Eco friendly world, which I’m all in favour off btw. , but with the underlying message that only those with a deeper historical perspective will
get.
I don’t know where Josh gets his talent from , but I think this piece is worthy of even that great Czech tradition, for cartooning under oppression.
Indeed it’s frightening to think, that in the Czechoslovakia of those times , one would have been thrown in jail for less than this.
