Global Warming

Today's headline in the Telegraph gave me the shits:

Electricity up 16 per cent and gas 9 per cent to tackle climate change

OK, so I am going to have to pay bucket loads more to "someone" because of Global Warming. What if Global Warming was a hoax?

I recall when I was a kid in the 70's the hysteria about the coming ice age! It was in the news and books were being written and I recall at the time bring worried. Its a pity not many people seem to remember this.

Now the latest thing to be scared shitless about is Global Warming. Unlike terrorism which won't last long enough to keep us scared this Global Warming thing can last the distance!

Global Warming is a hoax, in that, if it even exists over the long term, it is not anthropological by any means. The earth cooled from the period of 1940's to the 70's (hence the ice age predictions in the 70's). The earth has been warming ever since and stopped in the late 90's and has been cooling again. You won't hear any of this in the news because governments and commercial interests don't want you to know. Carbon Credits is a wonderful new business (with the private banks positioning to be the houses that trade them) and the opportunity to tax the hell out of us is simply too good an opportunity to be lost for governments.

The environment is in serious trouble I agree but stopping CO2 (which, by the way, is also plant food) is just a joke and a waste of time - the CO2 in the atmosphere, aside from being a very good gas and necessary for life, is controlled by the sea and sun activity - not by us.

This paper and this paper are peer reviewed and will give you an inside view of the mis-information the IPCC et al have been peddling.

How about we spend the money on better environmental works like tree planting, river cleaning and green power generation? How about preventing big business from off-shoring their dirty polluting factories to third world nations? How about forcing our trading partners to have the same environmental standards we force on our own companies?

No, carbon credits and trading is being zealously pushed because its another Enron-style way of making money out of you and me. Easy to implement, brings in bags of money and you don't actually have to do anything much.

Who votes for these people?
