Climate Research News » Crash Gordon: 50 Days to ‘Save the World’
Compulsive taxer and waster Gordon Brown, who like other MPs is very well-off, has two homes (one taxpayer funded) and clocks up more taxpayer funded air miles than a World War II bomber crew, is quoted in today’s Daily Mail spouting unfounded climate alarmism
...
Sorry Gordy, but climate alarmism and the resultant climate policy lacks a sound scientific basis and political feasibility.

What is means for Australia is that we, like other developed countries, will promise to make deep cuts to our total emissions. But China, the world’s biggest emitter, and other big and developing countries will not be made to promise any such cuts in total emissions themselves.

Carbon dioxide has increased, temperatures have not: The models did not predict that incongruity. This is, or may be, the church of global warming's Galileo moment – when observation of what is happening trumps the gloomy choir of consensus on what may.

The debate is not over! I picture Al Gore reaching for the holy Evian water and loosing a jeremiad: “Out, apostates! By my hemp underwear, and in the name of Kyoto and the IPCC, by the heel and toe of the carbon footprint, I declare thee excommunicate and anathema. In the name of bicycle paths, twisty bulbs, windmills and slow-flush toilets, carbon offsets and compost heaps, I declare the BBC heretical.” Or something like that.
