Or, at least one person hit back
Sound common sense – from a Minister for the Environment? Chance would be a fine thing. In our dreams. But no – this is for real. Sammy Wilson, Northern Ireland’s Environment Minister, has blocked a government “information” initiative on climate change, denouncing it as part of an “insidious propaganda campaign”. Inevitably, calls for his dismissal are already being made, as disciples of the global warming tabernacle squeal like stuck pigs.
Wilson dismissed the advertisements as “giving people the impression that by turning off the standby light on their TV they could save the world from melting glaciers and being submerged in 40ft of water”. This he described as “patent nonsense”. He duly wrote to the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to tell officials that their campaign Act on CO2 “was not welcome” in his bailiwick of Northern Ireland. The most gratifying aspect of this ministerial intervention is that, for once, the climate loonies are themselves being censored instead of gagging everyone else.
I don’t think Wilson has anything to worry about. Despite all the years of scare-mongering and awareness garbage, such as Live Earth (remember the rare snow in South Africa?), the Believers do little, if anything to change their own behavior. They expect everyone else to change their behavior, particularly those evil Big Businesses, particularly the ones that allow them to have whine and cheese parties in support of Obambi and to go pick up the kids from soccer practice in the SUV.
And, oh
This has been a bad 24 hours for the climate-change liars, beginning with Christopher Booker’s exposure in The Sunday Telegraph of the fabrication of data to “prove” pretended warming in the Antarctic. As more and more scientists who have not been bought by the United Nations climate clique find the courage to voice dissent from the junk science peddled by the IPCC and a public plunged into economic depression loses patience with this multi-billion-pound scam, it looks as if the great global warming imposture is finally on the retreat.
Heh.
