  1. Today’s UK Tories would make Pierre Trudeau’s Liberals of the Eighties look like conservatives. That they are CAGW inquisitors is testament to their progressive watermelon bona fides. UKIP is the only conservative Party in the UK and they will wipe out the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats if yesterday’s bi-election is any indication.

  2. Almost 20 per cent of Britain’s electricity is now produced by renewables, with eight per cent powered by wind – equivalent to about 6.5 million homes.

    Must have pulled that number out of their ass, or a hat-
    Using diesel generators for back-up when the wind doesn’t blow.
    Putting more hazards/carbons into the environment than coal fired cheaper electricity,
    not to mention killing thousands of bats and birds.
    I know Americans are stupid,
    but how damn dumb are the British?

  3. Just priceless. This after the Tories just got pasted in Rochester, a supposedly safe seat? Methinks Selwyn Gummer would be best advised to attend his own sinking ship. The British voters appear not to be too happy with the Wets right now.

  4. I’m sure that PM Abbott doesn’t give a rat’s behind what anyone in David Cameron’s party thinks about him.
    Also the article quotes Margaret Thatcher in 1989 when she believed in AGW, but neglects to mention that in her 2002 book Statecraft – Strategies For A Changing World she had reversed her position
    “The doomsters’ favorite subject today is climate change. This has a number of attractions for them. First, the science is extremely obscure so they cannot easily be proved wrong. Second, we all have ideas about the weather: traditionally, the English on first acquaintance talk of little else.
    Third, since clearly no plan to alter climate could be considered on anything but a global scale, it provides a marvelous excuse for worldwide, supra-national socialism. All this suggests a degree of calculation.”

  5. Exactly, much like many of our Progressive Conservatives here in Canada.
    It appears that British Tories have their heads firmly up Al Gore’s nether region.
    Hopefully the British people continue the trend of support for UKIP in order to save their country, if it is not too late already.

  6. WOW: Praised by Faint Damnation.
    Is this reversal of the familiar phrase original Kate?
    Don’t think I’ve ever heard it before.
    If so, BRILLIANT. if not, brilliant application.

  7. And it is conveniently forgotten that the only reason Thatcher embraced the climate-change scam was that it gave her a lever to use against the coal miner’s union.

  8. Can we dump the Queen and all connections to that little misbegotten Muslim infested island of losers?

  9. The UK conservatives have got to try to show that they have a backbone on some topic, they’ve certainly not shown courage on any of the other issues facing England. Besides being critical of someone not believing in the new green religion will please their overlords in Brussels.

  10. British Conservatives –
    or “the vote whoring very close friends and relatives” of Globull Warming rent seeking scum.

  11. Well Dave Cameron has just had his swagman walkabout on the hustings. I’m sure PM Abbot is hoisting his handle, and doesn’t give a flick that Cameron came up about ‘as dry as a Pommy’s towel’.

  12. Legal battle over Ontario wind turbine farm may redefine ‘harm’
    Sean Fine – JUSTICE REPORTER
    LONDON, ONT. — The Globe and Mail
    Nov. 22 2014
    The right to be free from chronic annoyance is at the heart of a legal challenge that could shake Ontario’s multibillion wind-energy business, and limit other industrial development in rural areas.
    It pits a family whose farming history goes back a century in Southwestern Ontario against the provincial government, and a consortium known as the K2 Wind Power Project, which includes global companies such as Samsung Renewable Energy Inc.
    No evidence shows wind turbines directly harm human health. But “community annoyance” lasting a year or more and associated with nearby turbines has been linked to headaches, sleep problems, dizziness and high blood pressure, in a study whose summary was released by Health Canada early this month.
