Global Warming and Energy

Met Office again confirms there's been no global warming for 16 years.

Apparently the dump of iron sulphate by this eco-loon is becoming big news. The articles want us to believe governments are unhappy, but here's the reality:

"John Disney, CEO of the Haida Salmon Restoration Corp. running the experiment, told a media briefing Friday that as many as seven federal departments, including Environment Canada and Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, were aware of the experiment long before the iron was scattered into the sea in July, spawning what is said to be a huge plankton bloom in a patch of ocean about 35,000 square kilometres in size."

This is how government protects our environment, with a wink and look the other way. It sounds very much like he defrauded these tribesmen.

"But Disney vociferously defended both George and the $2.5-million experiment being paid for by the impoverished First Nations community of Old Massett on the north end of Haida Gwaii."

"Old Massett, home to 750 people and with a 70-per-cent unemployment rate, held a vote and agreed to invest $2.5 million in the project.
Councillor Rea continues to support the project, but opposition is widespread in the scientific community and among Haida chiefs.
“The Hereditary Chiefs Council and the Council of the Haida Nation are in no way involved in artificial fertilization through the dumping of iron compounds in the ocean around Haida Gwaii,” says a statement released Thursday by the Council of the Haida Nation. “The consequences of tampering with nature at this scale are not predictable and pose unacceptable risks to the marine environment.”
Old Massett, which Rea says made its own decision to back the project, hopes to recover some of its $2.5-million investment through selling carbon credits for removing carbon from the atmosphere and locking it into the sea."

It would quite the karma comeuppance if Canada or the US extradited to the villagers, but it's unlikely either of those temple's of hubris would allow such a thing.

Here we go again with another meme that weather has become historically bizarre and AGW must be the cause, this time from the UK.

"The driest spring for over a century gave way to the wettest recorded April to June in a dramatic turnaround never documented before.
The scientists said there was no evidence that the weather changes were a result of Man-made climate change."

Then why bring it up? Maybe I'm being overly harsh. This does sound newsworthy, and they did put that line about no evidence of AGW in the second line, not in the last line like they often do. But I'm still skeptical. This sounds like an AGW alarmist wrote the story but a more honest editor demanded the caveat.
