BOS Albemarle County “Stewardship Strategic Plan” December 7, 2011

The Albemarle County Stewardship Strategic Plan, influenced by discredited IPCC claims, ignores cost-effectiveness and economic growth. It promotes unreliable pixie dust solutions instead of affordable energy options. Recommendations include recognizing the flawed nature of the LCAPP report and freeing citizens from micro-managing energy usage.

  2. LCAPP Relies On Discredited And Outdated IPCC Climate Claims And Vague “Concerns” ? ?

  3. The Non-Existent “Climate Consensus Confirmed By U.N. Climate Official “We're not scientifically there yet. Despite what you may have heard in the media, there is nothing like a consensus of scientific opinion that this is a problem. Because there is natural variability in the weather, you cannot statistically know for another 150 years.” -- UN IPCC's Tom Tripp, a member of the UN IPCC since 2004 and listed as one of the lead authors

  4. Latest U.N. IPCC Thinking

  5. Recent “BEST” Study Confirms Lack Of Global Warming As CO2 Rises“the human component of global warming may be somewhat overestimated”

  6. Pediatrics Journalincrease in asthma prevalence…3.6% to 5.8% in 23 years…tied to acetaminophen, not environmental change/factors

  7. NASA: Coal Plant Sulfur Dioxide Down 50% Since 2005

  8. What Set The Stage For LCAPP? Answer: ICLEI Now Comes The Stewardship Strategic Plan = ICLEI “Lite”?

  9. Taken From Page 16 Of The 2009 County of Albemarle Baseline Emissions ReportLCAPP IS At ICLEI Milestone 3

  10. LCAPP Populated With Environmental Activists And Special Interest Groups

  11. An Obsession With Greenhouse Gases, Without Scientific Justification

  12. Not One Mention Of Cost-EffectivenessNot One Mention Of Population Or Economic Growth Why Should The Privileged Few Set These Guidelines For The Rest Of Us?

  13. Promoting Pixie Dust Solutions In Place of More Affordable Energythe public is already aware of the Solyndra solar and Cape Wind fiascos

  14. Laurel Mountain , Elkins, WVthe reality of “clean energy” is mountain-top pollution

  15. Carbon Emissions Leadership But Not Economic Growth Leadership

  16. Recommendations Recognize the LCAPP report as a scientifically flawed document based on out-dated, flawed, and politicized U.N. IPCC environmental ideology. It reflects the self serving, activist views of only those permitted to be part of the LCAPP process Tentatively accept the Albemarle County Environmental Stewardship Strategic Plan, as a non-binding, voluntary initiative, independent from the LCAPP report Get the County out of the business of micro-managing energy usage by its citizens
