Global Warming News Roundup

A British government environmental minister is warning that recycling “could be adding to global warming.”

Furthermore, this Daily Telegraph article notes that some local governments in Britain have “admitted using anti-terrorism legislation to snoop on householders who fail to recycle properly.”

And then there’s the report that Britain’s National Health Service (socialized medicine system) is going to cut back on serving meat to patients in order to help combat global warming. That’s the rationale, anyway, but the NHS is always looking for ways to save money, and it often comes at the cost of patient welfare.

Another British National Health Service recommendation is that patients be encouraged to get diagnoses from their doctors by telephone consultation instead of by in-person examination. This too is being sold as an effort to combat global warming.

Finally, in other global warming-related news, James Hansen’s former supervisor at NASA has told Marc Morano of the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works that James Hansen “violated NASA’s official agency position on climate forecasting” because the agency “did not know enough to forecast climate change or mankind’s effect on it.” He also says Hansen “embarrassed NASA by coming out with his claims of global warming in 1988 in his testimony before Congress.” Read all about it here.
