Climategate: this is our Berlin Wall moment!

November 27th, 2009

I’ve just had a great, very sympathetic interview about Climategate on LBC radio (London’s main commercial news and talk station) with Petrie Hosken. She told me she has been simply inundated with callers, all of them utterly unconvinced that human influence has made any significant on so-called “Global Warming”. She was desperate to get a few balancing calls from people who do believe in AGW but just couldn’t find any.

Can you imagine this happening a year ago? Or even a month ago? Until Climategate, we “Sceptics” were considered freaks – almost as bad as Holocaust deniers – beyond the pale of reasonable balanced discussion. Suddenly we’re the norm. Climategate has finally given us the chance to express openly what many of us secretly felt all along:

AGW is about raising taxes; increasing state control; about a few canny hucksters who’ve leapt on the bandwagon fleecing us rotten with their taxpayer subsidised windfarms and their carbon-trading; about the sour, anti-capitalist impulses of sandal-wearing vegans and lapsed Communists who loathe the idea of freedom and a functioning market economy.

We know it’s all a crock and we’re not going to take it.

This is our Berlin Wall moment! They can’t stop us now!

    The political & psychological impetus behind the AGW fraud is easy to understand.
    To the BBC/Guardian/EU axis it is a gift, positively anti capitalist & pro increasing
    taxation from the profits of capitalism.
    Unfortunately, most of us are scientifically illiterate & accept “the science’
    from inappropriately qualified scientists or cheats who have mangled the
    opinions of legitimate experts.

    As a very common man, I say to the warmists this.
    Please explain the loss, over the last decade, of the entire gain in temperature
    in the 20th century.

    Also, please explain to everyone born before 1940 the winter of 1947/8
    which brought the South of England to a stop for a fortnight.
    In the preceding decade every factory in the world had been working flat out,
    there were atomic tests + Hiroshima + millions of tons of explosives made
    & used.

    Small wonder the BBC & co are trying to rebrand it “climate change”
    They stood on a platform of Man Made Global Warming.
    Hold them to it
