 EU Commission must end forcing biodiesel from palm oil on EU countries.

- Rainforest  Rescue = Since 05.02.10 1357 people have participated in this protest action.

EU Commission: this is not a forest, it’s a plantation EU Commission: this is not a forest, it’s a plantation

EU renewable energy legislation states that 10% of all road transport fuel in the EU will need to be “renewable” by 2020. Unfortunately this means biofuels, many of which are causing rainforest destruction and making climate change worse.

Hey! Here's a Job For You!

Stephen Harper wants you.   He is hiring a high level Green adviser to make sure Canada's climate change policy mirrors the policy being developed in the US.   The job pays $200,000 for a private consultant to track advise and strategize about all aspects of American GHG and pollution emissions

The applicant is expected to go to the US and mingle with personal and business contacts to put pressure on the US decision makers in such a way that Canada has a voice in the US decision process.  In other words you are to do whatever you can to disrupt any policies that would require Canada to take action against Climate Change.


(Dear Barack, I hope you are getting this).

Tomgram: Pratap Chatterjee, Destabilizing Pakistan

Almost every day, reports come back from the CIA’s “secret” battlefield in the Pakistani tribal borderlands.  Unmanned Aerial Vehicles -- that is, pilot-less drones -- shoot missiles (18 of themin a single attack on a tiny village last week) or drop bombs and then the news comes in:  a certain number of al-Qaeda or Taliban leaders or suspected Arab or Uzbek or Afghan “militants”have died.  The numbers are often remarkably precise.  Sometimes they are attributed to U.S. sources, sometimes to the Pakistanis; sometimes, it’s hard to tell where the information comes from.  In the Pakistani press, on the other hand, the numbers that come back are usually of civilian dead.  They, too, tend to be precise

Tories to hire "green" adviser: let's all apply

- PEJnews – Joan Russow Global Compliance Research Project
On February 7, the Toronto Star published the announcement Tories to hire "green” adviser.
At 3a.m. on December 19, At COP 15, the Copenhagen Accord was circulated. Harper was out of sync with the US. In Table 1, of Annex 1, Commitments, Harper had made a Canadian commitment of 20% of 2006 level by 2020. But soon, he was embarrassed to find that the US had made a commitment of 17% below 2005, by 2020. If only Harper had been included in the behind-close-door session, he would have been able to be in complete synchronization with the US. [This error was corrected, and now subservient Harper is in lock step]. Enclosed is a draft application for the position of “green adviser”

Stop carping: Fish farms are the reaal problem

Chris Holbein - The humble Asian carp is causing big trouble in the U.S. Last month, the Supreme Court refused Michigan's request to order the immediate closure of shipping locks near Chicago to keep Asian carp out of the Great Lakes. For decades, the carp have been steadily making their way up the Mississippi and Illinois rivers toward Lake Michigan.

The Brothel Project Review

In a city known for high tea, seniors, gardens, and perhaps most epitomized by the expression – the newly wed and the nearly dead, there is another lesser known, but equally thriving element to the coastal city of Victoria – the sex trade. In a debut film by director April Butler-Parry and written by Gillian Hrankowski, The Brothel Project explores Victoria’s best-kept secret via a new 52-minute documentary.

Is Contempt of Parliament and Parliamentary Committees “sufficient cause” for suspending, removing or jailing Harper and impugned ministers?

- PEJnews
  Joan Russow, Ph.D., Global Compliance Research Project

On February 3, 2010, the Opposition parties, after a meeting with constitutional lawyers, held a press conference. The press conference was in relation to the Harper government¹s refusal to release ``unredacted`` documents on the detention of Afghan prisoners. The Opposition parties are referring to Harper's and his government¹s refusal to release unredacted documents, as a demonstration of contempt of Parliament. When does it apply and what are the implications of an allegation of contempt of Parliament or of Parliamentary Committees?
