Dear Mr Wishart,

The Emperor’s New Clothes

I am writing to you in your position of SNP House of Commons Business Manager to challenge a contribution you made during a recent House of Comments debate on flooding which has a bearing on SNP policy. In that debate you claimed that the recent floods were due “in significant part to climate change”, obviously seeking to blame alleged, unproven man-made global warming due to CO2 emissions, and that Scotland “desperately needs” more onshore wind power.

With all due condolences to the flooding victims, I believe that both of your claims are unjustifiable and symptomatic of the fact that most politicians, yourself and Secretary Liz Truss included, seem to be suffering from a collective “Madness of Crowds” delusion on so-called “climate change” which causes those afflicted to become dogmatically obsessive and to block out all the clear evidence which runs counter to and casts doubt on their unquestioning climate change beliefs.

Alternatively they realise that they have  been taken in by the climate change scam perpetrated on us all by the UN IPCC (with the surreptitious original intent of promoting sustainability) but have timorously decided to say nothing and keep up the pretence to avoid having to ruffle international diplomatic feathers.

The problem is that our climate change policies are leading to economic and social disaster yet are certain to fail in their professed national and international decarbonisation aims, but UK government ministers continue to reject such arguments. Please allow me to show how the SNP could step in to take the lead in this situation by a justifiable change of climate and energy policy which could help avert disaster and earn the SNP the gratitude of the UK-wide general public.

To learn more please read my Open letter to Mr Pete Wishart, MP. It also gives comprehensive rebuttal of both your House of Commons claims.

Yours faithfully,

Douglas S Brodie
