Of the Suzuki School Of Climate Science;
If a tabloid used a single spell of cold weather to try to pooh-pooh the theory of global warming, it would rightly be accused of unscientific nonsense. Yet Sir John Beddington, the government’s scientific adviser, has proposed that the government do the same in reverse. In a report entitled ‘International Dimensions of Climate Change’, he calls upon the government to use weather-related disasters as ‘policy windows’ to push through unpopular policies to cut carbon emissions.Every time there is a flood in Bangladesh, in other words, we can expect another couple of pence of duty on a litre of unleaded.
Another example of how the rules are bent by one side in favor of their position. Thank goodness Harper has put the breaks on this insanity in Canada. He should now start to poach business and skilled workers from Australia and Britain.
It has come down to this:
Huge western governments; unionized at the bottom and greedy, entitled and corrupt at the top; have become tax/grease dollar junkies that are simply out of control.
They must be stopped but the scariest part is that there seems to be no democratic alternative anymore thus the system must collapse by itself before it can be rebuilt from scratch.
There's simply too many of us dependent on 'society' to bring the peaceful democratic changes
required.
The Berlin wall might have come down in the 80's but the spread of socialism continued unabated.
Terry, exactly.
The thinking of people like Sir John Beddington has become so pervasive in our society that it may be impossible to reverse.
This is not longer a war on climate change if it ever even was ... it is a war on driving a motor vehicle. It is a war on feeding your family with food delivered by ever more expensive motor vehicles. It is literally a war on humanity existing in a modern world.
If they could just get us all unarmed in caves and under shrubbery, they could then use the ever-eager-to-kill jihad boys perform a proper cull of the spoiled western world and get us all back to the good old days of feudalism, servitude, poverty, disease and early death. Ya that would be much kinder to Gaia.
"Sir John Beddington’s job is to advise on science. Instead, he appears to have appointed himself minister for propaganda."
Yes,but haven't they all? Every Premier and Cabinet Minister interested in our tax dollars has done the same thing,ignore any science and go with the religion.
After all, the political elites in every Country need our money to survive somehow,they sure as hell can't earn any themselves.
This is what Gordon Campbell was doing in B.C. for the last five years of his tenure as premier.
Every major weather event was used to illustrate the "concern" for climate change, never mind that almost every one of them would better support a theory of global cooling than global warming.
For example, we had the major windstorms including the Stanley Park blowdown event, then the heavy snowstorms in Dec 2008, the Prince George floods, and the severe heat wave in July 2009. All of these were used as justification for carbon taxes. The sheeple grunted a bit and said, "okay Premier Gord, have a look in our wallets, take what you need."
And so he did ... and by the looks of the weather this year, his policy worked like a charm, there is absolutely no sign of global warming until you get halfway into Saskatchewan. Hey Alberta, you freeloaders, get your own damn carbon tax.
A Government that acts in the best interests of the population as a whole has no need for a propaganda department.
It would seem reasonable, these folks have such settled science, that 100% of thier retirement Funds (most work in a safe Gov't Job) be invested in the alternative Energy projects they try to foster on REAL tax payers....
It's called skin in the game...
Global Warming ate my homework.
