A Catholic Reflection on the Earth Charter

Last week, David Suzuki had to resign from the Board of the foundation that bears his name.

This week, a complaint has been lodged with the Canada Revenue Agency for his foundation to be investigated for violating rules about political involvement by charities:

“With 12 registered lobbyists, the David Suzuki Foundation has more lobbyists on staff than most government relations firms,” the release from EthicalOil.org said.

No kidding. It’s the beginning of the end for their charitable status. But give him credit for sticking to his guns, despite the threats:

“I am not going to shut up just because of the rules about charities.”

I wish our bishops would do the same.

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

I’m feeling really sick.  Maybe my blind hope in the new bishops for Quebec overshadowed my good sense.

Very sad. So very sad.  I guess we’ll have to wait another 40 long years until the p-ss is completely wrung out of our socks.

Bahahaha.  Right on!

These hypocritical parents.  The 1.5 kid-household spends as much CO2 as the large family household does, if not more.

Heat, Electricity, Gas - About the same.

Cars, Vacations (air travel), Clothes, Food (more eating out, less buying in bulk) Etc., Etc. – Much more for the 1.5ers, even in absolute terms.

I raised family break-down as an issue that would harm the Environment (i.e. now you have 2 households and double the emissions) during one of my all-candidate debates in the 2007 Ontario Provincial Election.  All I received was blank stares from the other candidates.

Apparently, it was outside of their David Suzuki-boxed thinking on the Environment.

The problem today isn’t with the flakes in the Environmental movement spreading their fraud.  The problem is with a culture which has been dumbed-down to the point that it can’t think for itself but feels the need to regurgitate the latest thing that Suzuki or Al Gore has to say.

…Fifty top astronauts, scientists and engineers at NASA have signed a letter asking the agency to cease its global warming buffoonery. The global warming emperor has no clothes, and people are finally saying so out loud and in public…(Source)

Good to know the Canadian Catholic Church’s official development and aid arm is not political or involved in social avante guard causes.

Our not-so-friendly geneticist turned environmentalist is showing the totalitarian proclivities of the environmental movement. Check out the title of his atest article:

Deny Deniers their Right to Deny!

If you can’t prove climate change with science, just suppress the critics. Read the rest of this entry »

From a reader from his experience at Mass this past Sunday…

This morning, I nearly stormed out of the church. They had allowed a presentation by the communist subversive organization known as Development & Peace. 

We all know about their unholy alliances with pro-abortion groups, but this year it went much further. It was a 7 minute spiel about global warming and environmentalism.  Pure political propaganda cloaked with a veneer of “Christian” words tossed in.  If not for the fact that I was warned these nutjobs were going to speak after confession this morning, and that I prayed for self-control, I most certainly would have gotten up and walked out and possibly given them a piece of my mind.  Read the rest of this entry »

Seriously.

Your Excellency;

It is with regret that I find it necessary to write you during this busy Advent Season.  This past weekend I was quite upset by the initiative put out by Development and Peace.  As a convert to the faith in November 2006, I have been quite distressed by what I have been witnessing in the Church in regards to poor Catechesis but this past weekend was the first time I experienced grave concerns about D&P.   Although there are many positive points to the pledge put out in our Parish last weekend,  the fact that the initiative was linked in any way to Global Warming is very disturbing.  It’s bad enough I have to endure the secular media go on about this unfounded theory whose bottom line is ‘anti-life’,  but that I had it thrown at me in Church, in Advent, was over the top.   I had always been sceptical about the whole Global Warming nonsense when Al Gore’s movie came out in 2006, and I was greatly relieved to come across this wonderful Catholic Investigative Agency’s analysis of Global Warming.  It was comforting to have my suspicions confirmed once and for all.  I just happen to have an extra copy of this DVD and thought perhaps it may be of value to you.  There is also a computer resource CD that contains all the research data that went into this production.  I pray that our Archbishop, armed with this knowledge, will put a stop to further tainting our experience at Mass with more propaganda in regards to Global Warming, released by D&P.  To feel it necessary to educate the faithful about this nonsense with the HUGE crisis of faith is very upsetting.

 Please be assured of my prayers.  In fact, this past fall I had a Novena of Masses said  for your intentions.

Respectfully Yours,

From the same reader…

Here’s a link to the garbage I had to look at last weekend.    Many people signed it and placed it in the offering tray as requested.  I wrote my name, mentioning I couldn’t sign it because GW was ‘anti-life’ etc.

Socon or Bust is always happy to provide you with useful information to help you and your families live healthy and wholesome lifestyles. Today I bring you an important warning about compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs).

Most of you probably have at least one CFL at home. They are appealing because they use much less energy, thus protecting the environment and saving us money.

Most of you are probably aware that CFLs contain mercury. But I suspect that few of you are aware of the extraordinary health precautions you must take if ever a CFL breaks in your house. What you’re about to read might shock you so much that you’ll want to rid your home of all CFLs for the safety of your family.  Read the rest of this entry »

As reported by Watts Up With That, your best source for straight talk on climate change, it appears that another climate doom-and-gloom prediction has fallen flat.

In 2009, some scientists could no longer find a herd of 200,000+ Caribou from northern Saskatchewan. Their explanation, which was covered by the media, was that the poor beasts had fallen victim to destructive “climate change”. Read the rest of this entry »

Now that’s a big surprise.

An acquaintance pointed out to me that the website of the Archdiocese of Montreal hosts an interdenominational petition urging the Canadian government to take action on global warming.

Yet, a quick scan of their website shows no petition to stop abortion.

Are we sure we have our priorities straight?

Less money for people in real need. More money for the eco-crazies.

Why do the Canadian bishops continue to support an organization that directs money to such foolish programs?

Name any problem in the world.  Chances are that somebody, somewhere, has blamed it on global warming.

Don’t believe me?  Dr. John Brignell, a retired professor of industrial instrumentation at the University of Southampton in Britain, has put together an amazing list of alarmist claims cited in the media about all the problems caused by global warming.  His list contains 826 items and is still growing!  Some are contradictory, but that doesn’t matter, does it?  Never let the truth get in the way of a good story!
