Barrel Strength

Dear Dalwhinnie:

I am just back from China and I am receiving e-mails from you about “scandal” and  “the hoax of the century” and it has to do with climate change.

There are some who have a notion that arguments about climate change are at best exagerated and perhaps are part of some dreadful conspiracy that (left-leaning?) states are involved in to .. and then I lose the plot. 

I have read and viewed what was sent on. Today is was about the Queen’s speech on climate change and (the British government-inspired position) that we should take these things seriously and that climate change is having untoward effects, which sensible conservative thinkers (like yourself) think is a hoax.

There MUST be a sub-text here. Read the rest…

It is incredible, shameful and funny all at the same time, but Russia Today is doing a better job than CBC at covering Climategate.  Of course, CBC is not covering it at all. A couple of pieces. In the first one, a discursive feature, your hand-wringers and bed-wetters will get to Alex Jones and suspend what is left of their thinking processes – the point of course is that scientists have been caught out so badly that even this guy can say what he likes about them – and still be right.

In the second one, a debate featuring Piers Corbyn, who runs a private weather service, makes a lot of money at it, is no longer allowed to bet on himself with British bookies, and knows the same way you and I do that solar cycles have much more impact on weather and climate than carbon dioxide.

The government takes our money and gives it to the CBC. Incredible.
