I think the EU Minister for Propaganda, Angela Merkel, might need to look at hiring herself a better script writer.
We agreed… that CO2 emissions must first be stopped and then followed by substantial reductions.
Erm … right. So we’re going to stop them and then reduce them significantly. Have German scientists developed anti-CO2? What will its chemical symbol be? Would it be -CO-2 perhaps?
The BBC has very kindly reproduced the Intragovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s apocalyptic finger in the air guess at future global warming so we can all see what random temperature increases they’ve hypothesised might occur based on the same historical data that convinced the worlds scientists 30 years ago that we were heading for a new ice age. How science has come on. The BBC does point out that scientists from over 130 countries have made these conclusions so it must be true (this figure includes the scientists who left the team because they thought it was unscientific and following a political agenda but chose not to go as far as taking legal action to have their names removed from the report).
There are some pretty graphs and heat maps of the globe for three different scenarios, none of which is the scenario that the temperature of the earth might just carry on as it is because such scientific heresy must be suppressed at all costs. To entertain such a theory would suggest that there is any doubt that global warming is going to happen.
Stop CO2 emissions? Don’t hold your breath (but do please change the appalling colour of this comment field)!
