An Inconvenient Truth

"Who's that then?
I dunno, must be a king.
Why?
He hasn't got shit all over him."

Just to revisit a point from a previous post for a moment…

The most stand-out part of The Great Global Warming Swindle for most ordinary people who watched the program seems to have been the ‘revelation’ that historic data shows CO2 levels rising after temperatures do.




Another curious aspect of the data, not mentioned in The Great Global Warming Swindle, is that as well as there being a lag on the way up there is also a lag on the way down. The significance being that global temperature can fall even while CO2 levels are still rising, which is kind of a kick in the teeth for the CO2 = Global Warming fanboys

Now, whilst this data does not definitely disprove that CO2 plays some part in global warming it certainly doesn’t constitute proof that it does either.

Which is not the story that has been told by some leading Anthropogenic Global Warming advocates, most notably Al Gore in his Oscar-winning Powerpoint presentation An Inconvenient Truth…




It is possible to argue that Gore isn’t lying as such, he is after all a politician and too clever for that, but he’s certainly taking liberties with the truth

And that’s one of the problems with this whole global warming business – the ‘truth’ about the nature of Climate Change is not as important to some people as the agenda they hope to fulfil using Climate Change hysteria as a tool. We’re into noble lie territory.

And the fact that many leading Anthropogenic Global Warming advocates come from the privileged and patrician classes is relevant (and that includes you George, you wanker).

"Are any of you daft plebs out there buying this bullcrap?"

As is the fact that, however scary they claim Global Warming to be, the patrician eco-prophets continue to live lifestyles that leave the rest of us looking like, er … peasants

Examples that come to mind include…

• Al Gore’s unfeasibly large electricity bills (though, apparently, conspicuous overconsumption is OK if you can afford to offset it)

• Prince Charles and his lovely Aston

• The Goldsmiths …all of them

It’s worth spending a few minutes reading through the wikibios of Zac, Ben and Edward Goldsmith. After which you run a serious risk of having your head buzzing with all sorts of apparently contradictory facts and peculiar connections – a strong commitment to deep ecology, idealised peasant lifestyles, venture capital funds, Mayfair night clubs and supercasinos – dynastic relationships and friendships with the Windsors and the Rothschilds – all sorts of peculiar stuff that could send you off into all sorts of different lines of investigation and contemplation.

The number one question being 'What is it about hardcore environmentalism that draws these people like flies to shit?' After all, it is unlikely that they picture themselves grubbing around in that shit with all the rest of us peons

There again maybe not. Our role in Life is not to question the motivations and actions of our betters is it?
