Guillotine! Guillotine!

In the name of humanity, off with their heads!

“French Environment Minister Ségolène Royal has urged the public to stop eating the well known chocolate hazelnut spread (Nutella), saying that it contributes to deforestation and damages the environment.

"’We have to replant a lot of trees because there is massive deforestation that also leads to global warming. We should stop eating Nutella, for example, because it's made with palm oil,’ Royal said in an interview late 15 July on the French television Canal+."

Of course, the manufacturer claims greenery, adherence to the Gospel of Gaia, and etc.

“The Italian chocolate group that makes Nutella, Ferrero, issued a statement on 16 June, saying that it was aware of the environmental stakes and had made commitments to source palm oil in a responsible manner.”

(That “late 15 July” most likely is 15 June, unless the French have gone and changed the months, as they did following the 1789 disturbances.)

Grats and charfs or something

Showing things are/were/won’t be as bad as Globule Warning/Climactic Chu-Ching experts say/said/will postulate.

Cute, cuddly and numerous

“Scientists believe that half of the population of penguins in the Antarctic region has been depleted in the last 50 years due to the climate change. It is the species known as the Emperor Penguins that have seen the largest losses.”

(No date, but at the bottom of the web page is “Copyright 2009 Infoqis Publishing, Co.” Information is from the National Science Foundation – nsf.org – aka, Your Tax Dollars At Work.)

Last 50 years, 50 percent of penguins dead, killed, wiped out because of global warming.

But wait! There’s more!

“ScienceDaily (Apr. 13, 2012) — A new study using satellite mapping technology reveals there are twice as many emperor penguins in Antarctica than previously thought.”

“Lead author and geographer Peter Fretwell at British Antarctic Survey (BAS), which is funded by the U.K.'s Natural Environment Research Council, explains, ‘We are delighted to be able to locate and identify such a large number of emperor penguins. We counted 595,000 birds, which is almost double the previous estimates of 270,000-350,000 birds. This is the first comprehensive census of a species taken from space.’"

So, if an actual head count shows twice as many as previously thought, but hand-wringers say half the Antarctic’s penguins had died from global warming, doesn’t that mean the overall numbers are the same for the past 50 years?

Northern Canada has 25,000 polar bears.
