ICLEI is back – City and county should not be part of a United Nations program

ICLEI is back – City and county should not be part of a United Nations program

RE: Proposed plan aims for carbon-neutral Port Angeles by 2030 

“The only direct cost related to this project is a $600 membership in International Council for Local Environment Initiatives (ICLEI),” Dubuc said in his memo to the council.

“ICLEI membership provides tools for future research, data collection and planning activities. It is widely used as the standard for collecting greenhouse gas emissions data and a tool that both Clallam County and Jefferson County have used.”

Eight years ago we were successful in making Clallam County and the City of Sequim withdraw from ICLEI.  See my attached 2011 comment letter (Ahlburg letter re ICLEI) and this article: https://www.citizenreviewonline.org/2011/Oct/county_withdraws_from_ICLEI.html .  Now the City of Port Angeles wants to join ICLEI, which openly avows pursuing Agenda 2030 (formerly Agenda 21): http://icleiusa.org/how-does-iclei-support-the-uns-sustainable-development-goals/ .  I suspect many people are not fully aware of everything ICLEI stands for.

“By committing to this vision, local and regional governments are leading the way towards a fossil fuel free era…” https://www.iclei.org/en/Our_vision.html

Perhaps we should let the City Council and the Planning Commission know that that not all of the people of Port Angeles share the goals of ICLEI.

Climate Change Resolution – For What?

Resolution for more climate change regulation presented to BOCC

by Sue Forde
June 18, 2018

It’s back – or should I say, it’s still here!  The “Climate Change Advisory Group” will be reconvened by the BOCC [Clallam County Board of Commissioners] if they pass a Resolution on June 19, 2018  to suggest changes due to “possible” changes in the climate (can you say, ‘weather’?), with supposed dire effects, like storm surges, forest fires, lack of snow in the mountains and water shortages.

The sky is ‘not’ falling.

Of course, there will always be temporary weather effects due to natural events like volcanoes.  But to blame people for changing the climate, and to regulate them on that premise, is just wrong. (more…)

Renown physicist debunks global warming cult

by Andrew Orlowski
for the UK Register

Interview The life of physicist Freeman Dyson spans advising bomber command in World War II; working at the Institute for Advanced Study, in Princeton, New Jersey, as a contemporary of Einstein; and providing advice to the US government on a wide range of scientific and technical issues.

He is a rare public intellectual who writes prolifically for a wide audience. He has also campaigned against nuclear weapons proliferation.

At America’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Dyson was looking at the climate system before it became a hot political issue, over 25 years ago. He provides a robust foreword to a report written by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change cofounder Indur Goklany on CO2 – a report published [PDF] today by the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF).

An Obama supporter who describes himself as “100 per cent Democrat,” Dyson says he is disappointed that the President “chose the wrong side.” Increasing CO2 in the atmosphere does more good than harm, he argues, and humanity doesn’t face an existential crisis. Climate change, he tells us, “is not a scientific mystery but a human mystery. How does it happen that a whole generation of scientific experts is blind to obvious facts?”

We invited Dyson to talk about climate change and other matters, including a question from your correspondent’s kids – how will we do interstellar travel?  READ MORE >>>

Climate Change Facts

Posted 12/8/2015

from Gene Farr, former GOP Chair, Jefferson County

Since Jerry Brown in California, Jay Inslee in Washington and all the Climate Chicken Littles continue to scream from the rooftops that Global Warming (AKA Climate Change) is causing droughts, this data from NOAA is worth repeating. The actual facts show that drought conditions in the 1930s and 1950s were worse than the current national drought conditions and that the slight warming the earth experienced from 1975 to 1998 has not caused worse drought conditions.
