EU Referendum: Consistently wrong

...how many more "one-offs" do you think we need before the warmists are a laughing stock?

EU Referendum: Then and now

From The Independent on 20 March 2000 we got the headline: "Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past". According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event"...

When U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu appeared on the "The Daily Show" in July, he bantered with host Jon Stewart about energy-efficient "white roofs," a powerful tool in the race to combat climate change.

gad-fly: The White Roof Scam

[SPPI] The Earth’s surface covers 510 million square kilometers, and 0.5% of that comes to about 2,550,000 square kilometers, or 2550 billion square meters. We’re going to need two coats of white gloss every three years: that’s 66 coats this century, times 2550 billion square meters, which is 168 trillion square meters of paint. Don’t you love it when big government thinks big? At your expense, of course.

We won’t be able to cover more than about 10 square meters for every liter of paint, because we’re painting rough exterior surfaces. Trust me on this: I’ve checked with the head gardener, and he hasn’t been wrong since 1963. Let’s call that 40 square meters per gallon. So, in 100 years, we’re going to get through 4.2 trillion gallons of paint.

At Wal-Mart, if they’re selling bin-ends of low-grade paint, they occasionally charge as little as $5 a gallon. But we need high-quality gloss-white exterior-grade paint, which is more expensive than most paints – often as much as $80 a gallon. But we’re buying in bulk, so we’ll get a gummint discount. Let’s call it $4 a gallon. So, Mr. Taxpayer, it’s going to cost you $17 trillion to reduce global temperature by just 0.2 Fahrenheit degrees. You may not think this is a particularly sound investment.
