Lord Monckton wins climate change debate

If you were to believe everything mainstream media is telling you, the Earth is heading for a catastrophe of biblical proportions. And it is you, yes you who is responsible for it. Al Gore presents us with 'irrefutable facts' of Man-Bear-Pig and how the human race is responsible for the destruction of the Earth via pumping C02 into the atmosphere. We are told that this is now 'scientific fact' and that, words I'm sure you're all too familiar with, "The time for debate is over. The science is settled".

Well, I'm sorry to say Mr Gore, Mr Miliband and Mr Pachauri, but that is not how science works. Science progresses from the extensive testing of theories, and that is all man-made global warming and climate change is; a 'theory'. Science defined is fact, truth, knowledge. How a 'theory' can be defined as such is absurd, requiring blind faith in something which is not even 100% verifiable. Contrary to 'popular' belief, there is no consensus among scientists as to the causes of climate change. And don't get me wrong, there is most certainly climate change. Whether humans are responsible for it or not however is an entirely separate matter. Recently over 30,000 scientists signed a petition against anthropogenic global warming, showing that not everyone in the scientific community is convinced. Whilst most climate change zealots will say 30,000 is small fish compared to the thousands of 'peer reviewed' papers 'proving' it's all our fault, I would endeavour to launch into a scathing attack on the peer-review process, but I will save that for another blog.

I will, at some point, compile my own views on climate change, backed up with sources. But for now I would like to dedicate this blog to Lord Monckton, a dirty climate change 'denier' (almost makes you sound like a holocaust denier, doesn't it?), who has been at the forefront of disproving man-made climate change. For what is believed to be the first time ever in England, an audience of university undergrads in Oxford decisively (135 to 110) rejected the notion that 'global warming' is a serious planetary threat. The only previous defeat for such climate extremists occurred at St. Andrew's university last year. This shock result could be the first signs of a concerted rejection by the British public of the relentless propaganda we are subjected to on our television screens. No longer are people moved by scaremongering apocalyptic visions set to come to fruition in only five years if we don't, right now, shut down all industry and pay carbon tax to a global central bank.
