Of course I'm not saying its "all a plot" but I really do believe all
concerned will be milking it for all they can get. To do that of course
you put more spin on the subject than Torville & Dean could ever do!
Take Ken Livingstone's Congestion Charge, you see that's a misnomer
straight away because it isn't a Congestion Charge is it? As long as
you pay you can have as many cars as you like in the zone, more the
better. More income for Ken to splash out on his favorite groups and we
know who they are don't we. You can be sure it ain't pensioners that's
for sure.

Anyhow I digress, my point being it's hard to get to the truth.

Meacher was sacked because he was an untenable idiot nearly as thick as
Prescott. When Meacher, who was advocating crippling Co2 taxes calls
"El Nino" a hurricane; well the game was up for him. You probably think
I could'nt care less about the state of our planet, of course I do. But
I'm not going to be part of a shrill group of middle class lefties who
believe there was once an Eden on this planet in the mystical past...
well there wasn't. A chap I share an office with who professes to be
green said something a couple of weeks ago, how early hunter gatherers
must have been so healthy, what a ****!. Imagine a world where you're
riddled with parasites, the slightest wound will probably turn sceptic,
an accident when hunting , farming or defence disables you for weeks
and so on. Nope besides a warmer planet, we live in the best times ever
for humanity, I'm not saying it's paradise with economic decline a
strong possibility even more so if Kyoto was implemented and believe me
it would have far graver consequences than a slightly warmer planet.
Sorry Alastair you touched a nerve.
