never trust the left, ever....bee population scam....why global warming science can't be trusted...

[2aguy]

So, the best rule of thumb, never, ever, trust the left.....they have no moral compass, the truth does not exist and they will do anything to get their agenda passed...here is something I didn't know about, the environmental left lying about declining bee populations.....



Investigation How Green Activist Scientists Rigged an EU Pesticide Ban Costing Farmers and Businesses Billions

Well, now thanks to a happy internet leak we have our answer. It turns out that the "evidence" was cooked up at the suggestion of a cabal of activist scientists working for a supposedly neutral and independent environmental organisation called the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

The IUCN, founded by eugenicist Julian Huxley in 1948, is one of the world's most respected environmental bodies, best known for its "Red List" of threatened species. While this wouldn't be the first occasion on which its objectivity has been called into question - its decision to declare the world's thriving polar bear populations "vulnerable", for example, owes more to politics than science - it hasn't, until now, been caught red-handed engaging in environmental activism quite so blatant as this.

The smoking gun is a "private note" - understandably marked "to be kept confidential" - recording a meeting in June 2010 between four activist scientists associated with the IUCN, including Dr Bijleveld van Lexmond (a founding member of WWF in the Netherlands), where they plot to effect an EU-wide ban on neonicotinoids.

They plan to achieve this by simultaneously bombarding the scientific media with a number of research papers in order to give the impression that a wide variety of different experts have come to the same conclusion: that neonicotinoids are a dangerous hazard.

So....about those scientists and the myth of global warming.....

Never trust the left....

The cumulative effect of all this is to give anyone coming fresh to the debate the impression that the science on neonicotinoids has indeed been long since settled by a variety of independent expert sources. Anyone questioning the validity of the apparently unanimous conclusions of this disparate research would, of course, inevitably run the risk of looking like a conspiracy theorist. What possible motivation, after all, could so many different scientists have for saying something that just wasn't true?

Sound familiar.....global warming anyone....?

Well the motivation in this case, we now know, was "noble cause corruption." That is, these scientists appear to have been so convinced by the rightness of their cause that they felt justified in throwing honest enquiry out of the window and engaging instead in pure political activism.

As Richard North notes on his blog, the effects of this entirely unjustified EU ban have been devastating to farmers, especially those growing oil seed rape, where neonicotinoids had proved a very effective pesticide.

After 50 000 dead bees found in Wilsonville more dead bees discovered in Hillsboro OregonLive.com

The city notified state agricultural officials and the Xerces Society Friday. The kill-off is more alarming because its discovery comes after an estimated 50,000 bumblebees were found dead at a Target parking lot in Wilsonville during the past week or so.

“We take it seriously,” Hillsboro spokesman Patrick Preston said, Saturday. “We recognize the importance of bees.”

Hillsboro officials aren’t sure what’s killing the bees, but Preston confirmed that the trees in downtown Hillsboro were treated with the same pesticide, Safari spray, as 55 trees that were sprayed in Wilsonville. Agricultural officials determined that the insecticide — which is meant to kill aphids — caused the Wilsonville bees’ deaths.

Ah yes, we have heard all of this before. Tobacco is perfectly safe, asbestos has nothing to do with the deaths of the workers and their family members. What a bunch of lying bastards you "Conservatives" are.

The EnviroMarxists are pathological liars dedicated to dragging down the US economy

Ah yes, the lefts,ability to deny the truth and blame other people when they get caught lying and cheating to impose their control over innocent people....

What does any of that have to do with you EnviroMarxists being lying scumbags?

Let me see here: it's a SCAM. Global warming is NOT Happening. And now Bees aren't vanishing. Right. That must be why for 50 out of 52 weeks of the year, it's getting warmer and drier, And, despite the fact I rarely see bees anymore, that isn't really happening, either. Got it.
