From University of Southern California another lesson from the economic train wreck that is Greece; people stop worrying about the environment when you make cleaner fuels too expensive to use. The price for heating oil has skyrocketed in Greece over the last two years (the government raised the taxes on heating oil 450% this fall…
WUWT readers may recall our coverage of Charles Monnett, whose antics with polar bear sitings and attribution led Al Gore to put this famous animated video clip into An Inconvenient Truth and make wild claims about polar bears drowning for lack of sea ice: Monnett’s legal case is over, and he has been forced to…
From the department of “told you so” comes this about-face on what was supposed to be an environmental solution.
