France rejects ‘Green Taxes’.

By scrubber | Published: March 25, 2010
Once more, France puts our own leaders to shame by putting France first, and adopting a realistic view of the world. Reported in the Daily Mail yesterday, and little publicised as far as I’ve seen, French Prime Minister Francois Fillon told a meeting of MPs in Parliament that the priority for the country was getting [...]

Advertising Standards Authority: Miliband’s climate change advert was propaganda

By scrubber | Published: March 17, 2010
We covered the run-up to this back in November when the “drowning dog” video first came to our attention, but now, finally, the ASA has decided which adverts in the £6m campaign were “misleading”. Bizarrely, the video we referred to in our report, and which incensed me for its transparent aim of planting propaganda in [...]

Head of ‘Climategate’ research unit admits withholding data about global temperatures

By scrubber | Published: March 2, 2010
Today’s Daily Mail, a long-time champion of transparency in the self-inflicted CRU’s Global Warming furore, has reported on Professor Phil Jones’ appearance before the Parliamentary Science and Technology Committee inquiry yesterday. Described as pale and shaky, Prof. Jones, erstwhile Head of the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit which was at the centre of the [...]

The snow isn’t real – it’s all in your head, honest

By DiamondGeezer | Published: January 6, 2010
Felt that I just had to post this article from the Independent I have just been sent. In all honesty, I think it probably speaks for itself. Lovely to see that the rigorously-researched and infallible scientific orthodoxy of AGW stands up to the test of time so well, though. Wikio Wikio

The Cloud Mystery

By scrubber | Published: December 22, 2009
Henrik Svensmark is a Danish scientist who studies the effects of cosmic rays on cloud formation. The Wikipedia link offers a pretty full explanation of what he has done. The following (unauthorised, from youtube, 60 minutes worth of) videos comprise a documentary entitled The Cloud Mystery, which premiered in January 2008 on Danish TV 2, about [...]

Brown leads Gore into a dead end at climate summit!

By Jackal | Published: December 17, 2009
The British people are used to the Prime Mentalist making massive u-turns, but I think even Al Gore was surprised when Gordon led him into the dead end of a broom cupboard! Wikio Wikio

Professor Ian Plimer on Climate Change

By scrubber | Published: December 9, 2009
A hat-tip here to a blogger known as “grandsmalls” who linked to this video from one of Daniel Hannan’s blogs on the DT. Anyone who has been following the AGW debate will have heard of Ian Plimer who is an Australian geologist, academic and businessman. He is particularly animated by the concept of a scientific consensus [...]

Lord Stern says climate change sceptics are “muddled”

By scrubber | Published: December 1, 2009
Hot on the heels of climategate, Lord Stern has labelled the views of AGW sceptics as ”muddled and unscientific”. On top of today’s ludicrous article in the Telegraph by the preposterous Mary Riddell, this is taking the biscuit. Lord Stern, an economist, purports to lecture us, we who have witnessed climategate in recent days, on scepticism [...]

Mad Cow Disease found at Westminster?

By Jackal | Published: November 26, 2009
Warning, before reading on, I advise you lock yourself into a padded room, as I wont be held responsible for you repeatedly banging your head against a brick wall. As the climate change story quite rightly whisks itself into a fury, more lunacy emerges from the Government ranks. The Department of Health has been tasked with [...]

Climate porn campaign drowns dog for £6m

By scrubber | Published: November 26, 2009
I make no apologies for pinching the title of this blog entry from the Register article of the same name; this has incensed me. The ramifications of this sort of thing are virtually endless. What were the people doing this thinking? How is it right that taxpayers’ money can be spent in this way? Doesn’t this [...]
