ΑΝΟΙΞΑΝ ΧΙΟΝΟΔΡΟΜΙΚΑ κέντρα στην Ευρώπη, λόγω ..."υπερθερμασμένων" χιονοπτώσεων: More of Europe's glacier ski areas are opening, reports www.skiinfo.co.uk, and they, along with the centres already open, are benefitting from heavy snowfalls in recent days.
Ενώ οι αρχομανείς απειλούν με εξόρυξη ραδιενεργών κοιτασμάτων “σπάνιων γαιών” από την άμμο τής θάλασσας σε όλη τη ζώνη από Στρυμόνα μέχρι Έβρο: μια εφιαλτική προοπτική...
Δυσμενής πρόβλεψη καθηγητή για ένα από τα αποτελέσματα της ΑΝΙΚΑΝΟΤΗΤΑΣ των δολαριανών να ελέγξουν την πετρελαιοκηλίδα*:
Και η ανάλογη ΣΑΤΙΡΑ:
The government recently used red tape to force Louisiana to stop using 16 barges [3]that were cleaning up the Gulf of Mexico by sucking thousands of gallons of oil out of Louisiana’s oil-soaked waters. Earlier, four oil skimmers needed to clean the Gulf were blocked by EPA officials [4].
Obama also delayed the clean-up of the Gulf of Mexico [5] by blocking foreign crews from operating sophisticated clean-up vessels. The Jones Act bans foreign vessels and crews from working in U.S. waters, but it gives the President the authority to completely waive that ban if he wishes. Obama refused to lift the ban, even though American shippers who generally support the ban said they wouldn’t object [6] to lifting it to fight the spill. As a result of the ban, the U.S. has rejected [7] a lot of foreign aid from counties with expertise in fighting oil spills, and accepted [8] only a small amount of foreign equipment to fight the spill.
Even Democrats are now criticizing [9] the Obama administration for refusing to waive the ban to allow America’s allies to clean up the oil spill.
“The BP clean-up effort in the Gulf of Mexico is hampered by the Jones Act. This is a piece of 1920s protectionist legislation, that requires all vessels working in U.S. waters to be American-built, and American-crewed. So” the U.S. Coast Guard ”can’t accept [12], and therefore don’t ask for, the assistance of high-tech European vessels specifically designed for the task in hand.”
The law itself permits [13] the president to waive these requirements, and such waivers were “granted [12], promptly, by the Bush administration,” in the aftermath of hurricanes and other emergencies. But Obama refused to do so after the spill, notes [12] David Warren in the Ottawa Citizen. Instead, Obama rejected a Dutch offer to help clean up the spill, noted Voice of America News [7]:
“The Obama administration declined the Dutch offer partly because of the Jones Act, which restricts foreign ships from certain activities in U.S. waters. During the Hurricane Katrina crisis five years ago, the Bush administration waived the Jones Act in order to facilitate some foreign assistance, but such a waiver was not given in this case.”
“After the Obama administration refused help from the Netherlands, Geert Visser, the consul general for the Netherlands in Houston, told Loren Steffy [14]: ‘Let’s forget about politics; let’s get it done.’”
In April 2009, the Obama administration granted BP, a big supporter of Obama [15], a waiver [16] of environmental regulations. But after the oil spill, it blocked Louisiana from protecting its coastline [17] against the oil spill by delaying [16] rather than expediting regulatory approval of essential protective measures. It has also chosen not to use what has been described as “the most effective method [18]” of fighting the spill, a method successfully used in other oil spills. Democratic strategist James Carville called Obama’s handling of the oil spill “lackadaisical [19]” and “unbelievable [19]” in its “stupidity [19].”
Obama is now using BP’s oil spill to push [16] the global-warming legislation that BP had lobbied for [20]. Obama’s global-warming legislation expands ethanol subsidies, which cause [21] famine, starvation [22], and food riots [23] in poor countries by shrinking the food supply. Ethanol makes gasoline costlier and dirtier [24], increases ozone pollution [25], and increases the death toll from smog [26] and air pollution. Ethanol production also results in deforestation, soil erosion, and water pollution [27]. Subsidies for biofuels like ethanol are a big source of corporate welfare: “BP has lobbied for [28] and profited from subsidies for biofuels . . . that cannot break even without government support.”
