Climate Change, Palm oil and Poverty Eradication

Ignoratio elenchi of the anti-Palm Oil fringe on Fonterra

Ignoratio Elenchi is the informal fallacy of presenting an argument that may in itself be valid, but does not address the issue in question. “Ignoratio elenchi” can be roughly translated by ignorance of refutation, that is, ignorance of what a refutation is.

The infinite number of fools behind the anti-palm oil campaigns

There is a famous Latin maxim “Infinitus est numerus stultorum” which can be loosely translated as “Infinite is the number of fools”. This maxim is remarkably apt when applied to the current anti-palm oil hysteria propagated by the likes of Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth (FOE), Rainforest Action Network (RAN) and the Palm Oil Action Group (POA) and blindly lapped up by the mainstream media.

Any idea that the smear campaigns organized by “environmental organizations” like the Palm Oil Action Group (POA), Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth (FOE), the Rainforest Action Network (RAN) and the infamous Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) purporting to show that palm oil cultivation is responsible for a whole host of environmental issues has any shred of credibility goes right up in smoke under the most cursory examination. Not, that that makes a bit of difference to a mainstream “mediocracy” constantly banging the drum against one of the most productive and sustainable of oilseeds in the world. So what kind of cursory examination?

Exploding Apple iPhones and Palm Oil

In several reports eerily similar and analogical to the adverse reports emanating out of western dominated media on palm oil, Agence France-Presse, the French national news agency went to town on the supposed 10 instances of explosion of Apple iPhones in France. The 10 alleged victims, who range from a young girl to an 80-year-old man, have all insisted that they were using their phone normally and had not subjected it to any shock
