Oh, and when I say, “alternate life-style”, I don’t mean “alternative life-style”. I mean “alternate”, as in a totally different reality to the rest of us, who may choose to make choices between alternative options in the reality we already have.

It is the Alternate Reality people who are driving the climate scare. You can spot them, because they have no sense of proportion, no sense of humour, and a belief that alchemy is superior to chemistry, because it has a longer history.

Comment on Tony Jones lets Bill McKibben get away with barking nonsense “Really one degree is utter catastrophe” by R. Gates

Since the alarmists claim there is missing energy, and that this energy has gone into the oceans, two things can happen, A-) Nothing, the energy is sequestered in the deep ocean, which means there is nothing to worry about. B-) This energy will come back up at some stage and continue the warming of the atmosphere.

There is also C) whereby the additional heat is advected to the most sensitive part of the planet via ocean currents, greatly affecting the sea ice, which is exactly what is happening, but make no mistake, we’ve got lots of time for B as well. See:

I don’t see the problem with this. It is perfectly reasonable from a marketing point of view.

All they have done, is to look at the constituent atoms in a sugar molecule, and reapportion the proportional costs of the carbon across the other elements in the molecule. Thus making the carbon “free”.

A portion of the population thinks that a sign and road markings saying, “Parking Free Zone”, means you can park for nothing, so carbon free sugar is not an alien concept to those folks.

Organic sugar is different though. Being organic means that it has got added healthy bits, to make it good for you.

Having organic sugar, where the carbon is free, will be the best thing since sliced (organic, stone-ground flour) bread, to the alternate life-style greenies.

Oh my! Some marketing person really messed up. Jumping on the “go green” and reduce carbon bandwagon without thinking the whole thing through. I mean really… Know your product people. In the meantime, how about a go-green cookie made with Carbon Free Domino sugar:
