Ed Miliband calls on all Labour councils to sign up to 10:10 | Politics | guardian.co.uk

"Let's make the transition to low carbon part of our vision of a different kind of country: more prosperous, more secure and fair," Miliband told the Labour conference in Brighton. "Fundamentally, we are the people to deliver on this vision because of the society we believe in, because we understand the role of government and markets."

In a further drive to localise the initiatives to slow down climate change, Miliband announced a £10m pot for communities who want to pioneer green technology.

Miliband also produced research that showed that Tory councils turned down 60% of the wind-farm applications they received, which he said was double the number turned down by Labour councils.

The Reference Frame: Four degrees Celsius in 50 years?

These people must think that all the other people have the IQ of a pumpkin to buy such manifest nonsense. If they overstate the measured warming trend by a factor of seven, do they think that no one will notice? Why should Nature suddenly change a quantity - the decadal warming trend - by one order of magnitude relatively to all existing measurements and all sensible theories? Do they really believe that anyone but corrupt people trying to steal billions from the taxpayers, and/or mentally retarded individuals are ready to buy this crap?

Their projections are exactly as ludicrous as the "judgement day" warnings by the Jehovah's Witnesses. The only difference is that the Met Office religion lacks the tradition, even the short tradition of the other sect.

‘Pollution Reduction’ Bill is Cap and Trade Global Warming Tax by Any Other Name

Kerry must be living in the past. He must be convinced this is the American of 15-20 years ago, when the “mainstream” media had a lock on the information the American people could get. Kerry must believe we are back in the days before talk radio, Fox News, the internet and all the New Media.

In other words, Kerry must believe the American people are still “mushrooms,” the way he and his socialist friends would like us to be.

The cap and trade global warming tax is based on the theory of anthropogenic global warming as the boogeyman that is supposed to scare us into handing over our hard-earned dollars and our liberty on the altar of earth worship.
