The truth about climate nonsense
Next Thursday marks the first anniversary of one of the most remarkable events ever to take place in the House of Commons. For six hours MPs debated what was far and away the most expensive piece of legislation ever put before Parliament.
The Climate Change Bill laid down that, by 2050, the British people must cut their emissions of carbon dioxide by well over 80 per cent. Short of some unimaginable technological revolution, such a target could not possibly be achieved without shutting down almost the whole of our industrialised economy, changing our way of life out of recognition.
Even the Government had to concede that the expense of doing this – which it now admits will cost us £18 billion a year for the next 40 years – would be twice the value of its supposed benefits. Yet, astonishingly, although dozens of MPs queued up to speak in favour of the Bill, only two dared to question the need for it. It passed by 463 votes to just three.
One who voted against it was Peter Lilley who, just before the vote was taken, drew the Speaker’s attention to the fact that, outside the Palace of Westminster, snow was falling, the first October snow recorded in London for 74 years. As I observed at the time: “Who says that God hasn’t got a sense of humour?”

Hear that sound?
*pauses*
That's the sound of England flushing itself down the toilet.
"Good by Cruel World".
The Sun may kiss the Stars on high
The Stars may kiss the Bright Blue Sky
The Bright Blue Sky may kiss the Grass
And you, my Friend...
Farewell.
(I first saw this on a figurine of a boy flushing himself down the toilet. )

The virus of the man-made global warming hoax is beginning to leave the scientific bloodstream at last, but is deep in the political system.
