Do we really need climate change advice from the septics?

[Old_Geezer]

But surely Gore wasn't sceptical of climate change ?

[ToraToraTora]

who said he was?

[sigma]

Who's the sceptic?

[Old_Geezer]

He is the one giving advice, you asked if we should take advice from sceptics. I drew the reasonable conclusion.

[Gavmacp]

I think it is a slang for yank as in septic tank.

[sandyRoe]

slang? Septic tanks...Yanks.
While China and other developing countries use coal fired power stations to fuel their economic growth, what we do, apart from trying to set a good example, is of little consequence.

[Old_Geezer]

Ah that's the trouble with nicknames, they can be misread easily ?

Europe burns. Climatologists fiddle. Sandy still doesn't know what side he's on.

[sandyRoe]

as ever, I'm on the side of the angels

[vetuste_ennemi]

Yes he does - Pope Francis'.

I think the government has realised that the notion of 'climate change' is a nonsense, and spending money on it is a vote-loser, so it has quietly scaled back its payments to the looney-tunes schemes involved.

Mr Gore firmly believes in climate change with the same sort of swivel-eyed zeal that people believe in flying saucers, so naturally he is annoyed at the government's reduction of its spending on this fantasy.

But Mr Gore doesn't have to face election here - the Tory government does.

Pragmatism is a cornerstone of politics.

Retreats to the garden shed, sneer on face, to slash wrists.

[ummmm]

There you go, TTT, another confusion over your stupid abuse of the English language!!

[vetuste_ennemi]

Oh God! We've got another one!

[vetuste_ennemi]

Don't they ever shut up?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Surely you meant Merkels, Sandy, innit?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Kind hearts and coronets, eh, Sandy? Pavane for a dead Europe. Well done!

Can you elaborate on these please - I am lost!

[vetuste_ennemi]

Just trying to keep in theme with the title of the post.

I feel the Tories are so obsessed by big business and promoting fracking.
