Comment 1 for General Comments for the GHG Scoping Plan (Sp-General- Ws) - 1St Workshop Comment 1 for General Comments for the GHG Scoping Plan (sp-general- ws) - 1st Workshop. First Name: Chris Last Name: Morgner Email Address: [email protected] Affiliation: California agriculture businessman Subject: ARB News Release June 26, 2008 Comment: Utilities are to provide 33% of their power from renewable resources such as wind, solar, and geothermal? Since I know you are not joking (and it really isn't funny), I'd like to know how long that will take and at what cost. There was no mention of nuclear power which would be an abundant source of clean energy at lower cost and in a shorter time frame than wind and solar. I am totally against the far reaching extremes that AB32 demands. Attachment: Original File Name: Date and Time Comment Was Submitted: 2008-06-28 16:37:26 No Duplicates. Comment 2 for General Comments for the GHG Scoping Plan (sp-general- ws) - 1st Workshop. First Name: jack Last Name: osborne Email Address: [email protected] Affiliation: Subject: report accuracy Comment: you see an example of a problem with all "expert" testimony: most of it is "MAI", made as instructed. I've read many tax opinions by large law firms used to promote various tax shelters that I couldn't have signed. Not even for the $500,000 I guessed the law firm got for the opinion. For $5 million, well ... The problem is a general lack of "expert" accountabilty, whether the "experts" are: CPAs, rating agencies, criminalists, FBI agents, economists, you name it. If you can't sue 'em over their opinions, they're worthless. If they can hide behind lawyer-client privilege, they're worthless. And that is accurate for all policies that are generated to comply with a requested solution. There are no rebuttal arguments, contrary opinions, or anything that might upset the required solution., especially when it involves politics or politicans. Like most things produced on this subject it is biased one way, or the other, depending on the desires of the requestors of the opinions.

First Name: robert Last Name: dinwiddie Email Address: [email protected] Affiliation: Subject: arb plan to reduce green house gases Comment: Please do nothing to create more expense and problems for california busniness and citizens. There are 31000 plus weather and atmospheric scientists that say man does not cause global warming or climate change. You can cause this state immeasurable damage if you keep up this foolishness in gas and diesel requirements. Worse yet. if you increase the requirements on oil and utility companies to reduce carbon sources of fuel, the people of california will pay dearly for an unproven warming theory...for the last 10 years we have cooled..please, dear God, let there be common sense used. If you continue your stated path, you will all be personally responsible for destroying the economy of Califonia. Since we can't make it rain make it stop make the skys snow, stop or start hurricanes, how in God's name do you think we can cause the climate to warm or cool???? Hopefully you will hear from all us other silent citizens telling you to stop fooling with our lives and back off on your power trip. sincerely.

  • Vegetarianism and World Peace and Justice
    Visit the Triangle-Wide calendar of peace events, www.trianglevegsociety.org/peacecalendar VVeeggeettaarriiaanniissmm,, WWoorrlldd PPeeaaccee,, aanndd JJuussttiiccee By moving toward vegetarianism, can we help avoid some of the reasons for fighting? We find ourselves in a world of conflict and war. Why do people fight? Some conflict is driven by a desire to impose a value system, some by intolerance, and some by pure greed and quest for power. The struggle to obtain resources to support life is another important source of conflict; all creatures have a drive to live and sustain themselves. In 1980, Richard J. Barnet, director of the Institute for Policy Studies, warned that by the end of the 20th century, anger and despair of hungry people could lead to terrorist acts and economic class war [Staten Island Advance, Susan Fogy, July 14, 1980, p.1]. Developed nations are the largest polluters in the world; according to Mother Jones (March/April 1997, http://www. motherjones.com/mother_jones/MA97/hawken2.html), for example, Americans, “have the largest material requirements in the world ... each directly or indirectly [using] an average of 125 pounds of material every day ... Americans waste more than 1 million pounds per person per year ... less than 5 percent of the total waste ... gets recycled”. In the US, we make up 6% of the world's population, but consume 30% of its resources [http://www.enough.org.uk/enough02.htm]. Relatively affluent countries are 15% of the world’s population, but consume 73% of the world’s output, while 78% of the world, in developing nations, consume 16% of the output [The New Field Guide to the U.

  • Benbella Fall2014 Edelweissc
    BenBella Fall 2014 Body Respect What Conventional Health Books Get Wrong, Leave Out, and Just Plain Fail to Understand about Weight Linda Bacon and Lucy Aphramor Summary Mainstream health science has let you down. Weight loss is not the key to health, diet and exercise are not effective weight-loss strategies and fatness is not a death sentence. You’ve heard it before: there’s a global health crisis, and, unless we make some changes, we’re in trouble. That much is true—but the epidemic is NOT obesity. The real crisis lies in the toxic stigma placed on certain bodies and the impact of living with inequality—not the numbers on a scale. In a mad dash to shrink our bodies, many of us get so caught up in searching for the perfect diet, exercise program, or surgical technique that we lose sight of our original goal: improved health and well-being. Popular methods for weight loss don’t get us there and lead many people to feel like failures when they can’t match BenBella Books unattainable body standards.

  • A Mad Cowboy
    A MAD& HISCOWBOY MOVIE KINSHIP CIRCLE ACTION CAMPAIGNS LITERATURE VOICE FOR ANIMALS [email protected] www.KinshipCircle.org by Brenda Shoss, 8/12/05 Mad Cowboy: The Documentary is a global montage of images and interviews with activists, scientists, victims, ranchers, farmers, doctors, and consumers. It is a breathtaking portal into the chemically based and ecologically disastrous agriculture we call “food.” The film’s nationwide debut coincides with a third potential case of mad cow disease in the U.S. If confirmed, this case lends poignancy to filmmaker Howard F. Lyman’s early predictions about a once obscure disease—bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and its fatal human variation, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. While critics deliberate on the spread of BSE in this country, Lyman, author of The Mad Cowboy: Plain Truth from the Cattle Rancher Who Won't Eat Meat, does- n’t mince words. During an April 1996 appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show, Lyman argued an outbreak of mad cow disease in America could make AIDS seem like the common cold. He explained how the routine process of grinding up diseased cows to feed live cows turns herbivorous animals into cannibals, some infected with mad-cow. While that practice is now banned, cows may still consume cow blood and waste. Calves regu- larly ingest milk mixed with bovine blood serum. Lyman’s candor prompted Oprah to swear off burgers and Engler & Cactus Feeders Cattle Company to sue Winfrey, Lyman and Harpo Productions for $12 million each. But a U.S. District Judge threw out the Texas cattlemen’s food disparagement angle (nick- named “veggie libel laws”) and the trial ended triumphantly for Lyman and Winfrey.

  • Howard Lyman Animal Welfare Activist, Author, Mad Cowboy
    EVEN Interview with Howard Lyman Animal Welfare Activist, Author, Mad Cowboy Howard F. Lyman is a 4th generation family farmer (and vegan) from Montana. After 20 years of operating a feed lot, he sold his ranch and started working for farmers in financial trouble. He was a lobbyist in Washington, and ran for Congress in 1982. He is the former Director of the "Beyond Beef Campaign" and the Humane Society of the United States’ "Eating with Conscience" Campaign. Howard is the past President of both the International Vegetarian Union, and EarthSave International, and he is currently President of Voice for a Viable Future. Howard travels over 100,000 miles every year as a speaker and lecturer. A Feature Documentary on his life is now available on DVD, and Howard's new book, "No More Bull!" was published to wide acclaim. He currently lives in Ellensburg, Washington, with his wife Willow Jeane, and his cat, Ceasar. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EVEN: How did veganism become part of your life? Howard: In 1990 I was in Washington DC working as a lobbyist on Capitol Hill. I was overweight, my blood pressure was sky high and my cholesterol was over 300. At lunch I would get a nose bleed. Now I wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I knew I had a problem. What was difficult was that I came from Montana, which is not overrun with vegetarians, so I decided in 1990 I’d become a closet vegetarian. I lost some weight, my blood pressure and cholesterol went down and I thought, wow, if I did this being a closet vegetarian, just imagine what would happen if I did more.

  • Recommended Reading About Animal Issues
    Recommended Reading about Animal Issues Empty Cages: Facing the Challenge of Animal Rights by Tom Regan, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, North Carolina State University in Raleigh Described as the best introduction to animal rights ever written, this book dispels the image of animal rights advocates perpetrated by the media, unmasks the fraudulent rhetoric of humane treatment favored by animal exploiters, and explains why existing laws function to legitimize institutional cruelty. Regan, a leading philosopher in the animal rights movement, intends the book as a popular companion to his scholarly treatments of the subject. Animals as Persons: Essays on the Abolition of Animal Exploitation by Gary L. Francione, Professor of Law. Rutgers University Law School A prominent philosopher of animal rights law and ethical theory, Francione is known for his criticism of animal welfare laws, his abolitionist theory of animal rights, and his promotion of veganism and nonviolence as the baseline principles of the abolitionist movement. In this collection, Francione advances the most radical theory of animal rights to date. Unlike Peter Singer, Francione maintains that we cannot morally justify using animals under any circumstances. Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy by Matthew Scully One of the best books ever written on the subject of animal welfare. Scully, a journalist and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush. investigated several major animal industries, including hunting, whaling, and factory farming. He asks penetrating questions and shows the logical and political inconsistencies used to defend cruel industries. The Food Revolution: How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World by John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America What can we do to help stop global warming, feed the hungry, prevent cruelty to animals, be healthier, and live longer?

  • A Discourse Analysis of Pigs in Motion Pictures
    Cinematic “Pigness”: A Discourse Analysis of Pigs in Motion Pictures By Mark von Schlemmer Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Catherine Preston ____________________________ Chairperson Chuck Berg ______________________________ Tamara Falicov ______________________________ Kevin Willmott ______________________________ Barbara Barnett ______________________________ Date defended: July 2, 2010 Acceptance Page This Dissertation Committee for Mark von Schlemmer certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Cinematic “Pigness”: A Discourse Analysis of Pigs in Motion Pictures Catherine Preston ____________________________ Chairperson Chuck Berg ______________________________ Tamara Falicov ______________________________ Kevin Willmott ______________________________ Barbara Barnett ______________________________ Date Approved: July 28, 2010 ii Abstract The representations of “others” in film have been contentious since filmmaking began. Fraught with misrepresentations, cinema has been held responsible, and occasionally credited, for influencing cultural practices and helping to shape discourses in American society. This study suggests that the media representations of nonhuman animals also have a profound effect on how Americans think about animals and that these representations warrant examination to uncover the naturalized messages and assumptions that are presented about animals. Explored here are the extent to which these images depict animal-ness – moments of authentic nonhuman behavior or experience that are not simply a reflection of humanity but have meaning for the animals themselves. This study highlights the case of “food animals” – specifically pigs. The disjunction between how we represent them – the narratological roles they fill in animal films – and the way that actual pigs are used in American society is vast and disturbing.
