Run for the hills! Oakeshott's on the climate committee!

6 October, 2010 by

Imbecilic

Who could be better suited to a blinkered, imbecilic climate committee than a blinkered, imbecilic independent? Drum Roll please: Rob “I’ll be in even if I fall in” Oakeshott is the latest member (after he failed to make the grade for speaker and couldn’t think of any better way to stay in the political limelight). Rob’s interminable speeches will mean another load of unwanted gaseous emissions the committee will have to tackle. And another reason why the Opposition should avoid it like the plague.

Postcards from the future of climate change

6 October, 2010 by

Buckingham Palace surrounded by shanty towns full of "climate refugees"

Another post that had to interrupt my short break. The UK Telegraph, which used to be a respectable newspaper, but which has been changing slowly into little more than an upmarket gossip rag, has lost its mind completely and has published a gallery of ridiculous postcards depicting a post-climate change London. There are the hackneyed images of a flooded River Thames and “extreme weather”, but the two “artists” have here gone much further. From the introduction:

A display of photomontages imagining how London could be affected by climate change is on display at the Museum of London from 1 October 2010 to 6 March 2011. The display and events form part of the Mayor’s Story of London festival and the events are funded by Renaissance London. Like postcards from the future, familiar views of the capital have been digitally transformed by illustrators Robert Graves and Didier Madoc-Jones. They bring home the full impact of global warming, food scarcity, rising sea levels and how all Londoners will need to innovate and adapt to survive.

That the Telegraph chose to publish, with serious and weighty captions, and without any rational comment or criticism, these fictitious, alarmist images, whose purpose is solely to advance by fear the agenda of taking urgent action climate change, shows clearly how far journalism has sunk.

You can view the gallery here, but I couldn’t resist posting one more – the Houses of Parliament surrounded by rice paddies (honestly, you couldn’t make this stuff up):

Alarmists' PR own goal

3 October, 2010 by

Sickening

Interrupting my short break to comment on Richard Curtis’s truly sickening video – which you will no doubt have heard about elsewhere – which shows children who do not go along with the requirement to cut their emissions being blown up in a nauseating and gory way. Despite the creators issuing a worthless apology and withdrawing it, copies are appearing on YouTube faster than they can be removed, such is the viral nature of this video – do your own search if you wish to view it (discretion advised).

This kind of stunning own goal is very welcome, since it lays bare, for all to see, the totalitarian nature of the climate alarmism, where dissent is met with violence, albeit in a “humorous” context. I hope that this video will have disgusted many people who are in the global warming camp by default, and as a result may be spurred into making their own enquiries about the kind of movement they are associating with… a movement which now includes Osama bin Laden!

The timing is interesting, since the Royal Society, which has previously abandoned scientific impartiality and jumped aboard the alarmist bandwagon, has been forced to tone down its warmist rhetoric, admitting that there are areas of climate science where doubt exists:

Climate change continues to be a subject of intense public and political debate. Because of the level of interest in the topic the Royal Society has produced a new guide to the science of climate change. The guide summarises the current scientific evidence on climate change and its drivers, highlighting the areas where the science is well established, where there is still some debate, and where substantial uncertainties remain.

One thing we can be sure of is that as more doubts are acknowledged in the science, the more desperate the alarmist machine will become to keep the ship afloat.
