About This Website

The material on this site has been assembled for three reasons:

1. To counter the junk science and mass media hype (scaremongering is good for business) that feeds the hysteria.

2. Because I was asked to assemble it.

3. So that YOU won't be as great a menace to the world's poor as those pursuing environmentalism's morally bankrupt agenda.

EU Admits its Targets Will Damage Rainforest

European union green fuel targets will accelerate the destruction of rainforests in South-East Asia and threaten the habitat of endangered species, such as the orang-utan.

In March EU leaders agreed to set a binding climate change target to make biofuel - energy sources made from plant material - account for 10 per cent of all Europe's transport fuels by 2020.

But the European Commission has admitted that the objective, which aims to cut carbon dioxide emissions, may have the unintended consequence of speeding up the destruction of tropical rainforests and peatlands in South-East Asia - actually increasing, not reducing, global warming.
