Recently, I did an update of this 2009 post H2O Worries A Real Worry with this post H2O Continues To Be More Important Than CO2 [March 05, 2012] in which I noted:
Imagine my almost surprise when I read this yesterday:But as Peter Gleick said in 2006, “Desalination will be part of California’s water future, but the future’s not here yet,” said Dr. Peter Gleick, President of the Pacific Institute. “Most California communities can find additional water, quicker [for less money, by improving efficiency and management.”
Say, isn't that the same ethically-challenged Dr. Gleick that stole documents and made up communications supposedly from the Heartland Institute trying to discredit it as a source of climate research?
Kind of makes you wonder what his agenda here was. Was that "efficiency and management" simply [government restrictions] diverting water from agriculture? Or was it more about restricting human presence in California than being honest about alternatives? You know, herd all of the humans into the cities and let the agricultural efforts literally dry up?
Nah, that would be something a radical environmental organization might try to do.
UK Daily Mail: 'If you don't believe in climate change you must be sick': Oregon prof. Kari Norgaard likens skepticism to racism
Prof. Norgaard attended 4-day 'Planet Under Pressure' conference, where she presented her controversial paper...The scientists behind the event are calling for humans to be packed into denser cities so rest of planet can be surrendered to mother nature. And fellow attendee Yale U. prof. Karen Seto told MSNBC: 'We certainly don't want them (humans) strolling about the entire countryside. We want them to save land for nature by living closely [together].' [source]
Well, I guess that confirms it.
