Where does he get his information from?
Owen Paterson MP, former
Environment Secretary, climate sceptic and committed scourge of the ‘Green
Blob’, is in South Africa promoting GM crops. Greenpeace has seen a press
release issued on his behalf by a GM lobbyist, in which the following passage
appears –
He castigated the fearmongering activities of Greenpeace, the anti-GMO
activists… "Do Greenpeace supporters understand that they are truly
wicked? It is eco-terrorism. It is witchcraft,” he emphasised.
Eco-terrorism and witchcraft. Crikey.

Paterson 'effigy' shocked to read of his recent demise
Secretary of State for the Environment Mr Owen Paterson has
been sacked, and ‘the countryside’ is reportedly FURIOUS. As is traditional, the spokesmen for ‘the
countryside’ and their alleged fury are climate sceptics writing in the
Telegraph - and none of those climate sceptics writing in the Telegraph is more
furious than Owen Paterson himself.

Greenpeace response
Tuesday 15th July, 2014. London - In response to the appointment of Liz Truss MP as Secretary of State for the Department for
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, a Greenpeace spokesperson said :
"Liz
Truss has written extensively on the importance of science to education
and the economy. If she can bring that respect for evidence and rigour
into her new role, then we should see a more coherent approach to the
environment than the embarrassing shambles of the last few years. Common
sense and the laws of probability dictate that Liz Truss will be better
than Owen Paterson. She starts with a clean slate and we wish her
well."

Australian bush fires, NSW 2013
Sydney Harbour Bridge was barely visible through the smoke and amber coloured sky. Men covered in protective clothing sprayed water at the blazing bush. A row of four ducks swiftly waddled their way out of danger.
That was the first time I had seen my new home, Sydney, for over two months. I couldn’t smell or feel the burning heat from the fires but I witnessed the fires and their destructive paths on the TV, the TV inside my Russian prison cell.

in ur base movin ur goalposts
Britain currently has the rare
pleasure of weather really worth talking about, and the enticing possibility of
blaming someone for it. It’s a wonder anyone’s talking about anything else.
Of
course, in reality the floods were caused by the highest level of sustained
rainfall for centuries, probably caused by spiralling global carbon emissions,
according to the Met
Office and the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. But that would kind of
make us all partly responsible, and no-one wants to scapegoat themselves, so
let’s review our options for who we can pin the flooding on.

You don't have to be Einstein to work here...
In a shock to the scientific community, neonicotinoids,
- or neurotoxic agricultural insecticides - have been shown in laboratory tests to
cause brain damage in bees.
Actually, it wasn’t that much of a shock. There’s
never been any doubt over the potential of these chemicals to harm bees - the
recent controversy has been over dosage.
