The standard outcome following enviro-meddling:
A council spent £1 million protecting a colony of rare newts on a
building site only to discover that none lived there.
Leicestershire County Council delayed a major road-building scheme for
three months after evidence of great crested newts was found on the
site. The species is protected by law, but after the authority paid
hundreds of thousands of pounds for special newt-fencing and traps, not
one of the rare creatures was discovered.
The action was taken on the strength of a report from environmental
experts .

"Attributing global climate change to human CO2 production is akin to
trying to diagnose an automotive problem by ignoring the engine
(analogous to the Sun in the climate system) and the transmission (water
vapour) and instead focusing entirely, not on one nut on a rear wheel,
which would be analogous to total CO2, but on one thread on that nut,
which represents the human contribution." Dr. Timothy Ball, Chairman of
the Natural Resources Stewardship Project (NRSP.com), Former Professor
Of Climatology, University of Winnipeg |
