Milking Climate Change for all it’s worth

October 15, 2007 Climate Change, Funny, Propaganda 6 comments

Fresh milk is good for you right?  Good for your bones, good for your health in general and it tastes good.  I could drink gallons of the stuff if it wasn’t for the fact we already get through 5 or 6 pints a day as it is!

So why are the British government aiming to replace 90% of the milk in shops with sterilised UHT shit by 2020?  To prevent climate change of course!

DEFRA have decided that refrigerating milk is causing global warming so they are setting targets to replace fresh milk with UHT milk that doesn’t require refrigeration until after it’s been opened.

The British government’s obsession with climate change is reaching the point where it would be a joke if it wasn’t costing is billions.  DEFRA actually have a target to reduce methane emissions from cows by 60% within 15 to 20 years.  How the hell do you stop cows from farting for christs sake?

Al Gore’s global warming scam

October 13, 2007 Climate Change, Education, Propaganda One comment

I’ve just fired off the following email to Telford & Wrekin Council (my local authority) regarding Al Gore’s climate change propaganda film being shown in schools after reading this list of judgements by a High Court judge:

Hi,

I see that Al Gore’s film on Climate Change is set to enter the curriculum in English schools despite a High Court Judge ruling that the film is politically motivated and inaccurate.It is an offence to use politically motivated and inaccurate material (better known as “propaganda”) to teach children in English schools.The offence is under section 406 of the Education Act 1996 which makes political indoctrination illegal.

The following bullet points detail some of the judge’s findings:

  • The film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence global warming.
    The Government’s expert was forced to concede that this is not correct.
  • The film suggests that evidence from ice cores proves that rising CO2 causes temperature increases over 650,000 years.
    The Court found that the film was misleading: over that period the rises in CO2 lagged behind the temperature rises by 800-2000 years.
  • The film uses emotive images of Hurricane Katrina and suggests that this has been caused by global warming.
    The Government’s expert had to accept that it was “not possible” to attribute one-off events to global warming.
  • The film shows the drying up of Lake Chad and claims that this was caused by global warming.
    The Government’s expert had to accept that this was not the case.
  • The film claims that a study showed that polar bears had drowned due to disappearing arctic ice.
    It turned out that Mr Gore had misread the study: in fact four polar bears drowned and this was because of a particularly violent storm    .
  • The film threatens that global warming could stop the Gulf Stream throwing Europe into an ice age:
    The Claimant’s evidence was that this was a scientific impossibility.
  • The film blames global warming for species losses including coral reef bleaching.
    The Government could not find any evidence to support this claim.
  • The film suggests that the Greenland ice covering could melt causing sea levels to rise dangerously.
    The evidence is that Greenland will not melt for millennia.
  • The film suggests that the Antarctic ice covering is melting,
    The evidence was that it is in fact increasing.
  • The film suggests that sea levels could rise by 7m causing the displacement of millions of people.
    In fact the evidence is that sea levels are expected to rise by about 40cm over the next hundred years and that there is no such threat of massive migration.
  • The film claims that rising sea levels has caused the evacuation of certain Pacific islands to New Zealand.
    The Government are unable to substantiate this and the Court observed that this appears to be a false claim.

The film is essentially a work of fiction.It is little more than politically motivated propaganda used to justify punitive taxation to plug funding gaps in the treasuries of most developed nations.The High Court has judged that the film is politically motivated and biased and as such I feel that it is inappropriate and unlawful to show this film in a school.As such, I would be obliged if you could confirm that this piece of propaganda will not be shown in any schools in the borough.If any of my children are exposed to this political indoctrination I will seek prosecution.

Regards,

Stuart Parr

I suggest that every other concerned parent does the same to prevent the gobal warming scam being taught to our children as fact when it is, in reality, a politically motivated, biased set of vague and unscientific assumptions.

Discredited global warming model rolled out again

August 9, 2007 Climate Change, Propaganda 2 comments

The discredited model used by the group of UN “scientists” that resulted in the climate change report that is being used by governments – especially our own – as an excuse to intoruce “green” taxes, has been used again by the same group of scientists to predict climate change over the next 10 years.

Once again the scientists categorically blame human activity for climate change, refuse to entertain tha the idea that the current phase of climate change we are experiencing is a natural phenomenon and, most disappointingly, persist in using short term analyses to predict long term changes in the climate.  I say disappointingly because this is one of the major flaws in the global warming scam and makes their research utterly useless.

The latest predictions are for 10 year changes in the climate where previously they have been for 100 years.  But this is a pointless exercise because the kind of climate change that the scientists are flapping about now happens on a massive scale over thousands, millions of years.  It doesn’t happen in a few decades or even a couple of centuries and the micro-changes in the climate (and that’s what they are put into context) are not only unavoidable but perfectly natural.  I’m not quite 30 years old and I can see that the climate has changed in my three decades on this planet.  My parents can tell the difference in the preceding three decades and my grandparents can tell the difference in the three decades prior to that and you know what?  The temperature has gone up and down all over that period.  There have been droughts and wet periods.  There have been harsh winters and hot summers, mild winters and cold summers.

I can vaguely remember the dire warnings of the next ice age predicted for some time around the new millenium although by the time I was aware of it the hype had pretty much died down and everyone had realised that the scientists predicting it really were talking out of their bottoms.  Now the successors to those scientists are predicting global warming and, once again, we are all to blame for leading the kind of decadent capitalist lifestyle the sandal-wearing left-wing environmentalists are so jealous of but can’t have because all the other scandal-wearing left-wing environmentalists will disapprove and then they’ll have no friends because let’s face it, greenies are socially inadequate.

I could ramble on forever about this but there’s no point.  The “scientists” have the backing of tax-happy governments and a seemingly endless amount of our hard-earned taxes with which to spout their ill-informed, inherently flawed global warming propaganda.  Unfortunately, while us “climate change deniers” can see the gaping holes in their theories, people are being taken in by their scam.  The BBC is the mouthpiece of the British government and is happily churning out report after report on the evils of carbon emmissions and telling us all to burn down our houses, live in yurts, breed llama’s and take up subsistence farming otherwise the earth is going to dry up and rabid pack wolves are going to eat our children alive.  Ok, a slight exaggeration but you get the message.

The thing is, if the establishment tells you that something is true enough times and stifles voices of dissent successfully enough, gradually a critical mass of people will accept it as the truth and blindly accept whatever measures the corrupt establishment puts into place to stop the imaginary threat.  This is happening all the time and it will happen forever because this is human nature.  But when, in 30 years time, the next generation of “scientists” are telling us we’re headed for another ice age and there are so many “green” taxes that you have to pay to fart, don’t be surprised when those of us who can see through the scam this time round smugly say “I told you so”.

Talking Rubbish

July 16, 2007 Climate Change, Federal Europe No comments

The aptly-named Minister for Waste was on the telly this morning defending fortnightly bin collections amid warnings of a “peasants revolt” over proposals to fine people who don’t recycle enough (in England only, obviously).

The Minister (her name escapes me and she doesn’t merit a mention on Google) said that the introduction of fortnightly collections has been successful in some local authorities with recycling rates going up as soon as they were introduced. Presumably these local authorities introduced fortnightly collections in the same manner as my local authority did – introducing fortnightly collections and recycling collections at the same time. How can these be considered a success when there is no benchmark to measure against?

There is a suggestion for weekly food waste collections to counter the problems with vermin and maggots (which the British government says doesn’t exist of course) but this is up to the local authority to arrange and council taxpayers to fund.

There is an easy solution to the problem of us not recycling enough. We have to recycle more and more because Federal Europe is fining us millions of pounds for not hitting their arbitrary targets. How about taking the French approach and not paying? Or even better, let’s leave the European Federation completely and we won’t have to worry about hitting targets set by unelected foreign bureaucrats.

Lost in translation

June 7, 2007 Climate Change, Federal Europe One comment

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.

DEFRA to send out climate change pledge cards

April 8, 2007 Climate Change No comments

The Millibeast has decided to show us his green credentials by sending out green pledge cards to every household “across the country”.

DEFRA only covers England though so I guess “across the country” means England yet by the looks of it, the pledge card talks about the UK.  Strange.

Anyway, I’m a climate change denier so I’ve sent the following email to DEFRA:

Hi,

If you want to “do your bit” for the environment then please start by not sending me a green pledge card.  I’ve made my own mind up on climate change by reading information from various sources, including the source data used for the Stern Report.  Climate change has been happening for centuries at the very least and it’ll still happen if we all eat lentils and live in communal yurts.  The Vikings didn’t name Greenland after its striking covering of green ice a thousand years ago – it was green!  Sending me a piece of dead tree telling me a pack of lies about climate change to justify putting up taxes won’t change my mind so save the paper and save the postage.  Put the 30-odd pence into the “save the bankrupt English farmers who’ve lost their farms because DEFRA couldn’t pay them their subsidies on time” fund instead.

Thanks,

Stuart Parr

The lights are on …

March 13, 2007 Climate Change, Federal Europe 2 comments

The latest dictat to be issued by our masters on the continent is that we must stop using normal light bulbs and start buying expensive energy-saving bulbs instead.

We’ve got a mixture at home and I’m afraid I don’t like the energy-saving bulbs.  For a start they cost a damn sight more than normal light bulbs and while they do last a lot longer than normal bulbs, I have a 5 bedroom house and that means a lot of light bulbs!  It wouldn’t be so bad if they were as good as normal light bulbs but they’re not.  Energy-saving bulbs are dimmer than normal light bulbs and they start off even dimmer until they “warm up”.  We’ve got a pair of uplighters on one wall of the living room – one of them has a normal candle bulb in and the other has an energy-saving bulb.  The energy-saving bulb comes on about a second after the normal bulb and it’s not as bright.  It also stucks up about 4 inches about the uplighter whereas the normal bulb sticks up about an inch above the light but that’s what it’s supposed to look like.  Of course, you can buy energy-saving candle light bulbs but they’re at least a fiver plus post and packing.

This is all part of the obsession with being “green” or, as Channel 4 put it, the “great global warming swindle”.  The truth of the matter is, forcing people to use energy-saving light bulbs isn’t going to save the world from global warming for the simple fact that it’s not happening!  The average temperature of the earth has been decreasing since the 1940’s according to the met office and the receding polar ice caps that are supposedly “proof” that global warming is happening are nowhere near the state they were in a thousand years ago when the Arctic circle was north of Greenland.  The data shown in Channel 4’s documentary, the Great Global Warming Swindle, demonstrates a clear link between the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and the temperature of the earth but – and this is the key thing that there so-call experts neglect to mention – the temperature of the earth goes up first and the amount of CO2 rises to co-incide with the temperature increase some 100 years later.
