Paying for global warming 'myth'

SO now we know . . . the fantasy of man-made global warming is to be used, as I expected, to screw more money out of the toiling masses.

It must be the first time ever people will be taxed on a myth.

No doubt that the latest doom-laden predictions of the Stern Report will provide grist to the mill of screwball tree-hugging environmentalists and fellow control freaks.

So stand by for demands to build more completely useless, totally inefficient wind farms off the already disfigured Wirral coastline, along of course with the rest of the global warming panaceas, which, naturally, unless they are followed, will mean everyone sitting on the roof of their houses as Wirral sinks beneath the waves.

Throughout the history of the world, the climate has always been in a state of flux. There have been four ice ages', all of which retreated when the earth warmed. In Roman times grapes were grown up north; in the 1850s people skated happily on the frozen Thames. Hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, droughts, tidal waves - it is what the world does and there is nothing man can do about it.

Science should be an exact profession with regards to the climate; it has now turned into a crystal ball guessing game. It is not a surprise that the whole man-made' global warming theory has been passionately embraced by the leaders of the three main political parties. It provides the Government with the excuse they need, like the threat of terrorism - to control, to spy on and to tax and to remove the personal freedoms of the population.

This present Government are masters of all those things.

What needs to be remembered is that the Prime Minister warned three years ago we had 45 minutes to save the world from weapons of mass destruction. He now warns us we have 45 years to save the world from global warming.

Weapons of mass destruction did not exist - and neither does man-made' global warming.
