The only real question is when people will cotton on to this, provoking such disbelieving national outrage that the Act will have to be repealed – and whether this happens before it does our country such damage that we will be rapidly heading to join the Third World.
I wouldn't hold your breath!

Exibit A: Greece. Membership of the doomsday machine known as the Euro truly has sent Greece back to the Third World. Being in the Euro has destroyed a third of their economy, industrial production is back to the levels of 1976, health care has been slashed, and there's social and economic austerity hitherto unseen in sixty years ... and yet still the braindead populus cling desperately to the Euro as their saviour. Greeks still completely fail to accept Euro membership carries a cost, namely a 50% reduction in wages.

Look at the latest polls, even the loony left Syriza want to cancel the debt but stay in the Euro. They just don't get it, and nor seemingly do the vast majority of Greeks. They're paying the price of a) worshipping a false God and b) refusing to see logic even when lined up in the cold outside a soup kitchen.

I certainly don't think the British are in any way intellectually superior compared to the Greeks, so the only conclusion I can draw is the Government's climate change panpipes are going to lead us all over a cliff, and what is more the British public will gladly follow headfirst like so many lemons.

Yikes, there's a terrible thought! If only we had listened to Mystic Met when she foretold us of our future Thermolactyl nightmares...

Do Damart take Euros? smile

DECC‘s ”2050 Pathways Analysis" envisages a future in which, within five years, we shall be embarking on a wholesale switch away from gas and other fossil fuels to electricity. Out will go all cooking and heating by gas, and using petrol or diesel to power our transport.
And people disagreed when I said the current publicity campaign and sudden appearance of dubious research massively exaggerating the 'diesel threat' (versus petrol) is just a strategic step to banning all IC cars. How naive.

Sounds similar to the artifice of climate change being driven by a desire to back away from fuel feedstock obtained from the output of unstable regimes. The populace won't go for "those Arabs/Ruskis/Nigerians are bad to do business with so please save fuel", but "Oh my God we'll all be murdered in our beds" might just work if said often enough.

What's this about making up 'ocean acidification', to prop up the MMGW/CC cause?

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/12/23/touchy-feely...

If NOAA have made up this by omitting certain data that is critical to form a balanced conclusion, and they get away with it, we really are in trouble.

Lies are now permitted, indeed, perhaps lies are the new truth, and vice versa.

I liken 'climate science' to a Medieval religion, complete with inquisitors and flagellants! And still they make fortunes out of this, still have jobs and pensions, by pushing lies and deceit - and still the governments base energy plans around this tripe!
