- Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. rips NYT’s Coral Davenport for ‘false claims’ about typhoons: ‘Tropical cyclones, including the most powerful ones, have not become more common in the Philippines’
Pielke Jr.: 'Writing in the New York Times today Coral Davenport makes a strong claim about typhoons in the Philippines:
"A series of scientific reports have linked the burning of fossil fuels with rising sea levels and more powerful typhoons, like those that have battered the island nation."
Pielke Jr.: 'I am unaware of any scientific report that has linked the burning of fossil fuels to more powerful typhoons, whether they have hit the Philippines or not.'

Yeb Sano: 'To anyone who continues to deny the reality that is climate change, I dare you to get off your ivory tower and away from the comfort of you armchair. I dare you to go to the islands of the Pacific, the islands of the Caribbean and the islands of the Indian ocean and see the impacts of rising sea levels.'

- Gore: ‘Fertility management’ is needed to reduce the number of Africans to help ‘control the proliferation of unusual weather’
Gore: 'Depressing the rate of child mortality, educating girls, empowering women and making fertility management ubiquitously available so women can choose how many children and the spacing of children -- is crucial to the future shape of human civilization. Africa is projected to have more people than China and India by mid-century. More than China and India combined by the end of the century. And this is one of the causal factors that must be addressed' - (Gore also links Typhoon Haiyan and Sandy to man-made global warming - Video of Gore here at 15 min. mark)
Update: Czech Physicist Dr. Lubos Motl: 'It is immoral for Al Gore to organize 'fertility management' for other nations': Motl: 'It is impossible not to think that there's some racism and stunning hypocrisy if a jerk (Gore) who has produced four children is 'working' on the reduction of the number of newborn babies in a completely different nation.'

Bill Gates 'warned that growing prosperity as a result of development efforts could worsen global warming emissions, if energy was not generated in a clean way. 'As the poorest are being lifted up, as they're getting lights and refrigerators, we are going to use more energy. There's not a scenario here where we use less energy. We have to make the energy we use not emit any greenhouse gases, particularly CO2.'

- Environmentalists Go On Climate Witch Hunt: Finger ‘climate culprits’ for Typhoon: Philippines Should Demand Haiyan redress from fossil fuel companies – ‘Hold these companies liable for their role in abetting global warming’
'As major emitters, these corporations are called climate culprits by environmentalists because their emissions have contributed to the accelerated warming of the planet. This warming has led to extreme weather events like freak typhoons, sweltering summers, droughts that threat food security, and storm surges that threaten humanity. "We as citizens have an obligation as well as a right to hold those companies directly responsible for destruction accountable. For far too long now, oil and gas companies have literally gotten away with murder," said Kumi Naidoo, Director of Greenpeace International.

Pielke Jr.: 'There is even evidence in our paper (see our Figure 2) that the period before 1970 saw more intense hurricane landfalls than the period since. Older data from the North Atlantic and Western North Pacific (which together represents 64% of all global intense landfalling hurricanes 1970-2010 and 69% of all hurricanes) indicates that landfalling intense hurricanes in these two basins occurred at a 40% higher rate from 1950-1969 than 1970-2010. There were 9 intense landfalls in 1964 and 1965 in just these two basins, which equals the global record for all basins post-1970.

European Union Approves Mealworms & Cricket Powder For Use in Bread, Crackers, Chocolate, & Soups Despite ‘Inconclusive’ Allergy Data
Europeans now also allowed to eat cricket powder and small mealworms - Earlier in January, the Commission also approved the use of small mealworms. The small mealworm may be used as (spread) paste, frozen, dried and powdered. Powdered mealworm larvae will also serve as a food supplement.
Daily Wire: Cricket powder will now be permitted in a number of food products, such as multigrain bread, crackers, cereal bars, biscuits, beer-like beverages, chocolates, sauces, whey powder, soups, and other items “intended for the general population,” according to the new regulation. Cricket One, a company that asserts that the insects are “nutritionally more efficient” and serve as a more reliable “source of alternative protein” than livestock, submitted the original application.
The New York Allergy and Sinus Centers has nevertheless found that “several allergic reactions to crickets” have been reported in the past two years. Individuals allergic to shellfish such as shrimp, crabs, and lobsters “may develop an allergy to crickets” because the species share many of the same proteins. ... Proposals for the increased consumption of crickets and other insects occur as many policymakers voice concern about the impact of meat production on climate change.
