Global Warming
Warm Words and Cold Lies
In August 2006 The Institute of Public Policy Research published a document entitled “Warm Words, How are we telling the climate change story and can we tell it better”.
Below are a couple of extracts from this document, all of the italics are direct quotes, the bold type emphasis is mine..
“Many of the existing approaches to climate change communications clearly seem unproductive. And it is not enough to produce yet more messages, rational argument and top-down persuasion, aimed at convincing people of the reality of climate change and urging them them to act. Instead, we need to work in a more shrewd and contemporary way, using subtle techniques of engagement.”
“To help address the chaotic nature of the climate change discourse in the UK today, interested agencies now need to treat the argument as having been won, at least for popular communications. This means simply behaving as if climate change exists and is real, and that individual actions are effective. The ‘facts’ need to be treated as so taken-for-granted that they need not be spoken.
What they are actually saying is that only the views of proponents of the climate change debate are to be given to the public and the large body of scientific opinion that argue the contrary is to be ignored.
To put it bluntly they are lying to us
If the planet is supposed to be warming up, why is it that the temperature in Greenland is actually falling? It has barely changed since first measured in 1780’s and the ice sheet is actually expanding.
The hole in the ozone layer is said by some to be shrinking and the sea shows no sign of rising significantly?

The whole of government policy is based on a report by Sir Nicholas Stern, commissioned by the government (yet another dodgy dossier). It states that scientific opinion is unanimously of the opinion that global warming is fact. Blatantly untrue and unproven. However Tony Blair hailed it as the most important document produced during his time as Prime Minister stating that its findings should be adopted in full.
The government, followed by the local authorities, are looking to raise millions of pounds with environmental taxes and fines on householders from this obviously flawed evidence.
44,000 £100 fines were issued in 2006!
Cameras, linked to the DVLA Driver Database, are now being installed at council refuse sites in order to record who is dumping what. This,surely, is an open invitation to fly-tippers to dispose of their rubbish elsewhere.
*Leaders of all political parties are trying to show off their green credentials by switching to the Toyota Prius car. Did you know that an essential part of the batteries in this vehicle contains nickel produced by a factory in Sudbury, Ontario owned by Inco one of the world’s largest nickel mining companies.
The fumes from this plant over about a century have turned the surrounding landscape into an arid desert resembling the surface of the moon. The Americans actually tested the moon buggy there.
Toyota purchases approx.1000 tons a year from the plant which is then transported 10,000 miles, to S. Wales from there to China and finally to Japan where the batteries are made.

Far from being eco friendly (remember the car has yet to be disposed of) it is hardly more eco friendly than a modern diesel vehicle.
Likewise all the journeys you make to the bottle bank with green glass are wasted as there is no market for the recycled product.
Like Human Rights, Education, the Gay debate and Health and Safety the lobbyists have taken control of the agenda and to hell with the rest of us.
The fines being imposed for putting rubbish in the wrong bins which, together with the increased air passenger tax, are a revenue raising stunt.
Senior Treasury Minister John Healey, one of Gordon Brown’s closest allies has said one of the main purposes of the levy - dubbed ‘poll tax of the skies’ - is to raise revenue.
He told MP’s on the Treasury Select Committee
‘It is a blunt instrument as far as the environment goes....it is not the best policy instrument as far as the environment goes’.
Every do-gooder on the planet has now jumped onto the global warming band-wagon, completely drowning the equally valid arguments of the opponents.
As I said earlier THEY ARE LYING TO US.
Every five hundred years or so the climate seems to drastically change. Over several thousand years even more dramatically - hence the ice-age. Mankind's activities had sod all to do with it!
In the middle ages Europe was much warmer than it is today, but as recently as the mid 19th century the Thames often froze over for months at a time. Why is it that during the industrial revolution, when coal fired factories and power stations were belching out pollution, global warming was not even on the agenda.
Older people among us will remember the filthy ‘smogs’ of the 1950/60 period when you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. Britain is a much cleaner and brighter place today. In spite of these emissions global temperatures actually fell for four decades from 1940.
Fashionable theories are no substitute for scientific fact, at best global warming is unproven.
Far more likely is that it is a load of bloody rubbish.
Gordon Brown has now endorsed the ruling by a committee in Brussels to abolish all traditional incandescent light bulbs within two years. The fact that there was not one person on the committee qualified to make such a drastic ruling is, of course, totally ignored.
Because compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL’s) have to be kept on much longer to burn efficiently the energy saving is likely to be negligible. CFL’s cannot be used with dimmer switches, in electronically triggered security lights, microwaves, ovens or freezers (they don’t work at temperatures below -20C or above 60C). Nor can they be used in in light fittings that are not open at both ends. Defra research has stated that 50 per cent of fittings installed in UK homes will not take CFL’s and will have to be replaced at a cost upwards of £3 billion. Once again Gordon is being very generous with our money to prove his ‘green’ credentials.
There is now a body of medical opinion that argues that CFL’s have a debilitating effect on people with certain medical conditions, including many common skin and eye ailments.
