Owen Paterson appoint as secretary of the environment shows how the government false green credentials were always
So that's it then. The final piece of the credibility of the "greenest government ever" was doused with gasoline and burned with an occasional movement of a gold lighter. Visit Owen Paterson as secretary of the environment is a declaration of war on the environment, and another sign that the party of law - fiercely opposed to anything that prevents doing business you want -. has won
With signs that the government is prepared to renege on his promise not to build a third runway at Heathrow (Transport Secretary Justine Greening, fiercely opposed to the idea, he lost his job yesterday) This appointment reinforces the impression that Cameron said environmentalism is - and always has been -. false
Paterson is steeped in the mythologies of the anti-environment. A letter about wind farms that sent his district council is full of nonsense guy Collegiate constantly repeated by climate change deniers. For example, expressed the belief that if the capacity factor of a wind turbine is 30%, which means that "there is sufficient wind to produce useful electricity, typically only 30% of the time."
Maybe
these errors are not surprising: a large part of the letter has been cut and pasted word for word, without acknowledgment or caution, in an article published by a group of anti farmer wind-called Country Guardian. Environmental secretary, Paterson must weigh conflicting claims and making decisions based on the best available evidence. Although Paterson will not be responsible for energy policy, cut and paste this to make sense of what you're facing.- In May, when Owen Paterson was Northern Ireland secretary, Conservative Home reported that proposed a three-point plan for economic growth in a cabinet meeting.
- . "Out of all the bands red micro-enterprises, following the model of Ronald Reagan in the 1980s
- . Completion of all energy subsidies and then expressway operation of shale gas.
- . Policy Review of airport emergency to ensure Britain gets its share of total world trade "
remodeling of coalition politics pushes against Republican Tea Party: in denial on the problems underlying limitations prevent democratic business ready to treat the planet as a hub garbage. Quote from Paterson seems to illustrate the change.
