Quite.
Seems we are all created equal, but the Lord made greens equal and hypocritical.

Thus George (Monbiot) has either, by showing the impossibility, told us that climate change isn't a problem or that, perhaps more likely, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Some classic Climate Change reporting here following on from Environmental Day yesteday.

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/rtrs/20080229/ ... 6b408.html

February most sunny on record :o shock. When you look at it though, it's 12 hours more sunshine than the previous record, which means one and half days more when the sun was out. Not much really but sounds impressive nonetheless

Quote:
Despite one or two cold snaps, it has also been milder than usual. Between December and February, the mean temperature was 4.8 Celsius (40.6 Fahrenheit), 1.1 degrees above the long-term average.


The "cold snaps" are nicely brushed over there. There was more than 2 "snaps" and lasted several days to over a week if I remember back to December and Jan. But obviously there were a couple more "warm snaps" which bring the mean up and then get more attention for it.

And the one liner to end it

Quote:
After all that sunshine, February will end on a more familiar note with strong wind and rain in many areas and warnings of gales in parts of Scotland.


Just a brief mention that the weather is in fact quite variable dont you know.

I think i'm being very cynical because they don't actually use the phrase "Climate Change" in the article, but I got the feeling the way it's written is to suggest it's more 'evidence'

But there is something much more fundamental at work. I suspect that it is no accident that it is in Europe that eco-fundamentalism in general and global warming absolutism in particular has found its most fertile soil. For it is Europe that has become the most secular society in the world, where the traditional religions have the weakest hold.


Yet people still feel the need for the comfort and higher values that religion can provide; and it is the quasi-religion of green alarmism, of which the global warming issue is the most striking example, which has filled the vacuum, with reasoned questioning of its mantras regarded as little short of sacrilege.

The BBC Changes News to Accommodate Activist
Posted by jennifer, at 08:35 PM

I have been emailed the following correspondence, purportedly between an activist, Jo Abbess, and BBC Environment reporter Roger Harrabin. It would appear that the result of the email exchange between the activist and the reporter was that the BBC changed its story. In particular instead of reporting the story as received from the World Meteorological Organisation, the BBC modified the story as demanded by the activist who was concerned that in its original form it supported 'the skeptics' correct observation that there has been no warming since 1998

Read the rest here

Her mindset is that anyone who thinks differently is a dangerous heretic and should be silenced. Very 16th Century.

She could never beat me in an argument about climate change though, without resorting to personal insults. Why? Well, I don't care about the world frying after I'm dead so, if I told her this, how could she respond?

:D

It looks like there is increasing decent in scientiffic circles.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/4472519a7693.html

Quote:
Karori researcher Kesten Green has told MPs there was no need to pass the Government's Climate Change (Emissions Trade and Renewable Preference) Bill - because global warming forecasts are unscientific.


Dr Green, the author of a peer-reviewed paper auditing the forecasting methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), opposed the bill because he claimed it was based on "invalid climate forecasts".

He told Parliament's finance select committee that authors of the IPCC fourth assessment report provided sufficient information to observe predictions violated 72 of 89 accepted principles of forecasting.



Quote:
Professor Scott Armstrong, of Pennsylvania University - who wrote the global warming forecast audit with Dr Green - put in a written submission to the committee, claiming they had been unable to find a single "scientific" forecast of global warming.



In addition the "concensus" is called into question..
http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO0804/S00027.htm
Quote:
But for the first time, the 2007 assessment review by IPCC has been required to reveal the numbers of signatories, which turn out to have been less than a few dozen, all in the employ of governments, as many of them non-scientific bureaucrats as scientists. Even then, their findings have been grossly misrepresented

It looks like the global warming circus is now starting to unravel at an almost indecent speed.

Is it too much to hope that the penny will soon drop with our politicians

Along with all the other pennies that they collect from us ?
Can you seriously see the lot in this country being honest and stop taking money from us under false pretences ?

This is the mob that not only taxes us at over 70% on fuel, but then taxes us again with a tax [vat] levied on the price of the fuel plus the tax.

Eurosceptic Lord Lawson, the former Conservative Government Chancellor, will be a guest on the James Whale Radio Show on Talksport radio on Tuesday 15.4.2008.

The James Whale Radio Show is broadcast from 10 pm to 1 am Sunday to Thursdays.

Lord Lawson will criticise global warming hysteria. Professor Philip Stott - who also does not support most of the claims of the anti-climate change movement - will also be a guest on the same programme when Lord Lawson is interviewed.

Talksport radio is available on 1089 and 1053 AM (medium wave); on Freeview (set-top box) Channel 723; via the Talksport website; on digital radio and via satellite and cable.

Mr. Whale said on his programme this morning (at 0053 am) "Global warming is a lie - there is climate change which is natural: always has been and always will be."

Odd, isn't it? We get a few freak weather phenomena - such as last year's floods - and these are immediately claimed to be irrefutable evidence of MMGW. We then have long periods of normal weather, but these cannot be claimed as evidence that MMGW is nonsense. Level playing field?

I note the very last comment on page three.
