Thursday in Poznan: the Power and the Pathos « Roger Helmer MEP
Yesterday we met Mr. Nobuo Tanaka, Executive Director of the IEA (International Energy Agency), who told us about the outlook for energy supplies over coming decades. After many hours of knee-jerk alarmism, it was a relief to hear someone talking sensibly about the energy supply situation, although his advice was not entirely comforting.
...
People often ask me: “If you’re right on climate, how come so many people are so wrong?”. But I daresay everyone in that room, apart perhaps from the US delegation, would have subscribed to the entirely erroneous view that the EU is getting it right and the US getting it wrong. It really is possible for large numbers of people to be entirely convinced of a narrative that has no basis in fact.
Evangelicals make necessary change at the top
The performance of its vice president for government affairs has been a source of deep concern among clear-thinking evangelicals in recent years because of his aggressive advocacy for global warming alarmism. He appeared to many in the press to be speaking for the evangelical movement in general, and did little to discourage such perceptions.

Yet evangelicals have been among the least gullible in accepting the utterly unsubstantiated claim that global warming is being caused by human activity. Recent polling data suggest that evangelicals are less likely than almost any other demographic group to embrace the hysteria surrounding the global warming movement.

And in truth, global warming isn't even happening anymore. There has been no discernible global warming for an entire decade now, regardless of who or what is responsible for climate change.
