The Sierra Club is a political cash machine and the group goals have long since moved past cleaning up a local mess or preserving a pretty patch of land. The Sierra Club wants to control nature and they fully understand this means controlling governments and politicians. The political reality is that oil drives the economy and Sierra Club goals can only be achieved by breaking that control. Hoping for Michael Moore style financial success they are going Hollywood to convince voters that they are oil addicts.
Sierra Club: Syriana the new geopolitical thriller starring George Clooney, opens in cinemas nationwide today, December 9. The Sierra Club is a partner in outreach efforts associated with the film. The message of the Syriana-inspired Oil Change campaign is as simple as the movie is complicated: We need to kick our oil addiction.The movie will help fund more overt courting of political types with a taste for money and seeking new venues in which to exercise power.
Martin, Clinton To Meet In Montreal: The visit was arranged on the initiative of Elizabeth May, executive director of the Sierra Club of Canada, who has known Clinton since working on one of his campaigns in the 1970s.Bill Clinton plus the UN plus a humanitarian crisis is an ideal scenario for the Sierra Club, and now that winter has ended the hurricane season it is time to turn to a study of how the weather has killed lots and lots and lots of people. Floods, diarrhea, malaria and malnutrition mortality are apparently amplified by people driving cars in the United States.
150,000 Deaths Blamed On Climate Change: "Nothing will mobilize people like health. We can really drive the agenda," says Maria Neira, an epidemiologist who heads WHO's program for protection of the human environment.The Sierra Club loves to sell the lie that science is decided by consensus.
After several years and much hard slogging, Campbell-Lendrum and his colleagues had their answer: the excess deaths from climate change in 2000 total at least 150,000 worldwide. That estimate was reached by comparing the climate in 2000 with the conditions averaged over 1961 to 1990, a 30-year-period that avoids distortions from year-to-year fluctuations. The excess deaths are a minimum because researchers tabulated mortality figures for only four categories — floods, diarrhea, malaria and malnutrition.
Doubters Struggle To Make Voices Heard: But the gravest sin in his eyes is what he believes to be the deliberate exaggeration of hypothetical climate change by those who direct the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The IPCC is the U.N.-convened conclave of scientists that earlier this year issued three reports widely heralded in news accounts as the equivalent of papal decrees.The Sun heats the planet and the heat disperses into space. No amount of consensus changes Earth to Venus.
