Global warming is a multi-billion dollar industry! The most expensive secret you’re not supposed to know is that George W. Bush leaves office with the planet cooler than when he entered. This dangerous trend threatens the multi-billion dollar “global warming” industry, adding new urgency to the ritual shriek of “we must act now!” in the scramble to impose a costly regime of mandates and energy taxes.
The global warming industry’s tactics already range from comical to reprehensible. As a result of a cooling atmosphere, you are distracted with irrelevant surface temperatures. This is possibly because more than 90% of our surface thermometer network is in violation of rules for locating the instruments. For example, why are so many now on asphalt parking lots, black tar roofs and even airport tarmacs?
Like the great eugenics scam that lead to the horrors of the holocaust, such childishness is only the tip of the iceberg of outrages employed to advance an ideological agenda. Schools torment those whom they are charged with protecting from abuse, with scaremongering of the consequences of global warming and night terrors among the less egregious outcomes.
Palm oil should know this first hand, having been the target of the hyperventilating chief protagonists of the global warming scam, the curiously named Friends of the Earth (FOE) and Greenpeace.
Publishing pictures of legitimate agricultural land being prepared for palm oil cultivation as “pictorial proof” of the “massive deforestation” caused by palm oil, both FOE and Greenpeace are guilty of the gutter activism that is so prevalent in these times.
Using “scientific methods” that would have failed to pass muster for a high school science project, the activists procured the assignment of the arbitrary carbon emission saving figure of 32 to palm oil to deliberately make it fall below the acceptable thresh hold level of 35 % which is used as the minimum level accepted for biofuel raw material in the EU. Ironically, a default carbon emission saving figure of 36 % was assigned to rapeseed oil in the EU.
Just how such obvious shenanigans could escape the attention of the EU Environmental Agency is baffling to say the least! After all, it is well established that palm oil is the most productive of all oilseeds. In fact, it is so productive that one hectare of palm oil can yield 4.5 metric tons of edible oil, close to ten times the yield of its nearest competitors (such as rapeseed, soy and sunflower which typically yields 0.5 metric tons per hectare). Even to the uninitiated, it is obvious that palm oil requires ten times LESS land to yield the same amount of oil as its competitors!
If proper LCA studies were conducted, it is clear that palm oil with its high leaf index and carbon sink properties would easily achieve a carbon emission saving figure of close to 100, making it the ideal feedstock for bio-fuels.
In the view of the Palm Oil truth Foundation such obvious manipulation of carbon emission saving figures by environmental bodies to try to preclude palm oil is misguided at best and downright dishonest and protectionist, at worst. If the EU governments turn a blind eye to this clear manipulation of figures, they too stand indicted of colluding with disreputable NGO’s such as the FOE and Greenpeace by erecting indirect trade barriers to the importation of palm oil as a legitimate raw material for bio-fuels, a clear violation of WTO rules! THE END.
