GLOBAL COOLING

The earth is actually cooler now than it has been in the relatively recent past

A good comment on the global warming scare by UK conservative Norman Tebbitt (PDF): "In Roman times we were growing grapes in this country up to the Scottish border. In fact the imperial governor was getting rockets from Rome because we weren't importing enough wine from Italy, we were making too much of our known - plus ca change. So there is nothing new about climate change. It wasn't human activity which ended the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago, it wasn't human activity which caused it. So these things have always gone on. We would be foolish if we ignored the possibility that some of the things we are doing are affecting the climate - of course - but let's also be quite sure that the World Health authority, if it gets warmer, will not be counting the number of people who don't die in Britain in the winter because of the cold as being a benefit of global warming".

Many people would like to be kind to others so Leftists exploit that with their nonsense about equality. Most people want a clean, green environment so Greenies exploit that by inventing all sorts of far-fetched threats to the environment. But for both, the real motive is to promote themselves as wiser and better than everyone else.
