I think I got there first:- in a letter on 10th December 2009 in the Irish Independent
As I listen to the claims of Climate Chaos, with its “imminent threat” and undeniable evidence, I wonder where I have heard this all before.
Wasn’t it Tony Blair who also told us that there was an imminent threat?
A threat so serious that we could not gamble, that we had to invade Iraq on the “precautionary principle” to prevent weather . . . sorry I mean weapons of mass destruction.
This is what happens when experts/scientists become politicised. The spin doctors come in, the evidence gets sexed up to “hide the decline” and in the end the public is misled.
Following the latest revelations on Climategate there is now very little doubt that these ‘scientists’ have been adjusting the temperature data in a way that can not be explained in scientific terms.
If people really feel we “can’t gamble” with the minuscule bit of warming we saw in the 20th century and believe it really amounts to the greatest problem in the world, why aren’t they shouting out the obvious solution?
The “scientists” themselves tell us that the reduction in atmospheric pollution from particulates (smoke) which had blocked out the sun led to an increase in global temperatures in the 1970s.
Have the environmentalists forgotten their nuclear winter caused by sun-blocking dust being taken up into the atmosphere? Why aren’t they telling the public they already have the solution: get rid of the clean air acts, bring back that lovely sun-blocking smog!
Hypocrites all of them! We don’t need to gamble, we already have the solution and if any environmentalist can’t believe how quickly we can fix all this manmade CO2 they should go to a small offshore island, where we can detonate a few nuclear bombs and demonstrate how quickly we can get rid of this global warming scare.
