In the debate about climate change, it is often said that us “deniers” are “well funded”. Cash from interested parties has been given to a few sceptics, who have managed to turn the entire political debate in our favour. That’s why Copenhagen failed to produce an agreement. That’s why Kyoto failed. That’s why even the countries who wanted a deal at Copenhagen continue to emit more CO2 than they did when they wanted the Kyoto protocol.
So it is a bit of a surprise to learn that the government’s climate change adverts – a concoction of lies, distortion, doom-saying, and guilt-tripping - cost the taxpayer six million quid. Here they are, if you had forgotten...


According to the Times, http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article7061162.ece
The ASA has ruled that the claims made in the newspaper adverts were not supported by solid science and has told the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) that they should not be published again.
So what would you do with £6 million?
What the government did with £6 million is to cast themselves as the heroic Prince Charming in the bedtime story. He saves the damsel in distress – the entire world.
But now that the ASA has rapped the government over the knuckles, it is clear that this expensive fantasy has left the government instead looking more like the evil monster it claimed it would vanquish.

To me it says more about the minds of the lunatics that invent this sort of thing. They call themselves greens, they talk about science, but do they know their beloved vegetation is almost entirely made out of that CO2 monster?
In a way I’m glad they go this far because it does most to destroy their credibility, so in the long run we will survive, and they won’t get their trillions of pounds an dollars to set up their one world communist dictatorship. I mean that is what it said in the draft Copenhagen deal that was exposed by Lord Monckton. It kind of comes full circle in a way, for they are the monster, as were their Soviet predecessors.
Hmm, I wonder if we could add a caption to it about the benefits of carbon trading!
