Recycled yoghurt made with naturally colonised and cultured udder drips from free range cows.

Yeah but think of the poor sheep who'd be exploited with those nasty sharp things made out of metal.

I read it slightly differently more stop wars and stop defending lives i.e it's good to die for the cause, I expect virgins to be mentioned next although they will have to be careful not to mention their sex.

They also want to drop CO2 levels to below the level at which plants start to die. It'll never happen of course but it's insane none the less.

I caught some snippets of a Durban report from France24 news this morning. After having some IPCC fella on telling us we only had two years to save the planet.

They then cut to lots of people yawning, followed by some clips of what looked like an underground car park, followed later by what I can only describe as a scene that left me wondering whether I'd accidently changed channel to a 7 am scene of one of those OCCUPY camps! More people yawning and lying around on the floor.

The thing that pissed me off most was just the sheer number of people at this meeting... How much has it cost to get all these people there?

Oh, and did I mention the fact that just about everyone was yawning? But in fairness, it must be hard work saving the planet.... especially if you have to fly to SA... If it wasn't then surely everyone would be doing it?

How does the BBC constantly get away with showing pictures of steam rising from cooling towers every time they broadcast coverage of the climate meeting? How do they get away with that!

Whenever their coverage turns to the (hopeless) discussions to cut emissions the cooling towers are shown full screen bellowing steam, closely followed by pictures of melting ice and that polar bear floating on a solitary ice cube! What the fk are they on!

Can any warmist here justify that!

Apparently they have already been "rapped" for using such tactics back in 2009, as the link below shows, but on they go.

That was upheld by the BBC Trust, which has now formally abandoned any notion of impartiality on the Climate Gravy Train.

So such guff is now officially on message for the BBC.

Warfare

80. Stopping wars, defending lives and ceasing destructive activities will protect the
climate system; conflict-related activities emit significant greenhouse gas emissions to the
atmosphere.

81. The guarantee that all Parties shall cease destructive activities that contribute to
climate change, in particular the activities of warfare, production of materials and services
that support warfare, and to divert associated financial resources and investments into the
shared global effort to combat a common enemy: climate change.

I just watched him on the telly; he was talking and saying words but I didn't understand. The words were english, but they seemed to be in a random order. He now makes no sense at all; being in government obviously gave him access to skilled speech therapists because it's total gibberish now he's 'spending more time with his family'.

I know what you mean, but in reality of course it's irrelevant as the concept is nonsense.




Watching the news now and apparently the climate clan have managed to put something together that will save the planet.
