Climate Change : Solar Sourced or Carbon Based?

Climate change denial is bonkers, the evidence shows that in recent history temperatures have risen, but the argument that carbon causes climate change seems to be based on suspect science. Nevertheless the Greens have chosen to blame carbon emissions for causing climate change because of their supernatural hatred of industrialisation, the automobile and urbanisation, derived partly from their misty-eyed romanticisation of peasant life. It suits their political objectives to blame carbon emissions for climate change.

With the collapse of socialism and communism as plausible belief systems many of the former adherents have shifted into the Green movement. Green issues like clean air, pure water and high quality food command wide support across the political spectrum and even amongst the unpoliticised. Anti-capitalist extremists have hijacked these populist issues and now control the Green movement’s wider agenda – that is the claim made by Patrick Moore and he should know, he co-founded Greenpeace. He believes that “one of the most pernicious aspects of the modern environmental movement is the romanticisation of peasant life. And the idea that industrial societies are the destroyers of the world. The environmental movement has evolved into the strongest force there is for preventing development in the developing countries. I think it’s legitimate for me to call them anti-human.”

 

There is strong evidence that carbon levels lag the rise in temperature. Two-thirds of our planet is water covered, as temperatures rise the seas release more carbon dioxide. The amount released by that process dwarfs the amount released by humanity. Plato argued that in order to keep a stable social structure, societies need a Noble Lie. In Plato’s mind, the Noble Lie is a religious lie that’s fed to the masses to keep them under control and happy with their situation in life. It seems to Guido that the Green movement is propagating a Platonic-style Noble Lie – we are doomed unless we give up our cars and planes. In reality rising temperatures are far more likely to be a result of solar activity cycles.

Huhne Wastes Paper

Four press releases from the LibDem’s eco-warrior Chris Huhne on environmental issues today. Do you think he is a bit miffed that Al Gore saw Cameron, praised Gordon and ignored him?

Sian’s Smile Masks Totalitarian Agenda

Guido has met Sian Berry, the Green party’s candidate for London mayor, she is charming and pleasant. She just happens to believe that there are too many humans on the planet.

We were both on a radio show last year and Guido accused her of believing in an anti-human ideology. When we came down to it, she admitted that yes, she did think the planet had too many humans on it. That to Guido is the essential problem with Greens, they want things that no sensible person would not want, such as clean air and water, a safe and sustainable environment – but the priority is Earth First, humans second. With new eco-technologies we don’t need to go back to living in the Stone Age as they advocate. Green extremists are using the common desire for a cleaner planet to further an anti-capitalist, anti-human agenda. Humanity is not a problem.

Why the focus on international aviation which produces 0.1% of global carbon emissions?

UPDATE : Found that radio show MP3, Recess Monkey, Guido and Sian on The Knives Are Out.

Dave : Read My Lips "No Cheap Trips"

It is alright for Cameron to go jetting about on Michael Spencer’s private jet as and when required, but us proles tend to hop on to Easyjet and Ryanair.

Often when Guido flies down to the Maison Secondaire the tax is far more than the ticket. The Tories are planning another tax grab under the guise of the green totalitarianism that is so appealing to all politicians. It appeals to their vanity “to do something”, gives them an excuse to hike taxes and the public pays the bill. The Tories are the party of lower taxers or they are nothing. Tax cuts incentivise, why don’t they reduce taxes on more eco-friendly forms of transport. Sailing Yachts forinstance could benefit from a a green tax exemption.

If is not just an excuse to raise tax revenue, prove it by implementing carbon cutting encouraging tax exemptions. Horses, cycles, sailboats and the rest should be exempted from taxes…
