This Richard Black outpouring has it all. First the agency involved, The Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution, is an innocent, raped, victim of government spending cuts. Those nasty Tories again. Second the said body is clearly a collection of eco-nutters preaching that we are doomed unless we stop reproducing, move around to where resources are (whatever that means), stop drinking water (and consuming generally), stop producing waste, and fervently conform to the torrent of how-to-live diktats from global and national rulers. Mr Black, as usual, purveys this fanaticism without a jot of understanding; if our Victorian forefathers had followed this sort of insane ideology, no ship would ever have left a British port, and no entrepreneur would have ever invented anything or introduced any new industrial process. All round the world, except in the green-obsessed regressive west (and for complex, non-related reasons, Africa), human beings are relishing the challenges of expansion and in general making the business of being human a happier, longer-lived and wealthier experience. The greenie philiosophy which Mr Black reports with such one-sided relish wants to introduce the economics of suicide. and negativity. Evidence of the misery wrought by his greenie chums is not hard to find – try, for example, here. The most vulnerable are actually seriously suffering because they can’t afford inflated fuel bills that have been jacked up to subsidise windfarms that are a central componenent and totem of the eco-creed. But such contradictions are lost on Mr Black (and Marcus Brigstocke!); they have their greenie worldview and they are sticking to it.

Yet anoyther thing the BBC promotes breaking its charter on balance ,as there is never any meaningful counter argument allowed. They are an undermining influence in Britain and are far worse than many extreem parties in peddling their propaganda.
How are the allowed to get away with it. We all know what thet are doing yet nothing is done. Do we not have a minister that should be sorting this out.
“The UK needs to consume less and share people around the country more equally in order to tackle its environmental problems, a report recommends.”
For some reason, the following gentleman springs to mind. This is where the eco-nuttery could end up if not sharply pulled up on its collective leash.
“Pol Pot became leader of Cambodia in mid-1975. During his time in power, Pol Pot imposed a version of agrarian socialism, forcing urban dwellers to relocate to the countryside to work in collective farms and forced labor projects, toward a goal of “restarting civilization” in a “Year Zero”. The combined effects of forced labour, malnutrition, poor medical care and executions resulted in the deaths of approximately 21% of the Cambodian population”
Sounds like the “Big society”! Remind me again, whose idea was the “stupid, oops, big society!?
We can solve all these problems at a stroke.
I know of a place with limitless free land to accomodate 30m souls and more.
Enough natural resources (coal ,water and sun) to power hundreds of power stations for hundreds of years.
Consumption would drop as there are few shops and those that there are have hardly anything in stock.
Water enough for all.
We must, as soon as possible, deport half of the population to Africa.
Q.E.D.
Well alright this may not be to everyones taste…how about good old Siberia.
Equally well resourced and its worked before afterall.
The Chinese see Africa as the breadbasket of the second half of the Twentieth Century.

Right pack your bags Africa it is then…when have the Chinese ever been wrong…apart from you know what..
I hold no brief for China…except to say that their attitude is simple to understand.
‘If sea-levels rise, we will build walls’ and ‘ you want windmills, we sell you windmills, how many do you want.’
The Greens have to address the fact that 85% of the world couldn’t give a monkey’s about AGW. But if there is mitigation cash about, they’ll go for it, ta very much.
Or how about the polar regions. Plenty of water, ice cubes galore for the really rich, sardines, seal, and polar bear steak, but no cars, and no malls to go to.
I wonder how many of the Greenies will apply. None, for the Greenies, we should stop producing and comsuming, or just producing enough, so that they can live in a life style that people employed by the BBC can afford- the useless BBC greeny with a useless degree in media studies, and not a jot of productive work except rail at the unfairness of it all that nobody listens to their jeremiads.
All of us are being hit thos winter by a triple whammy for keeping warm. There is the renewables scam tax, then the increased tax and cost of keeping warm this very cold and prologed winter, and wrap it all up in trhe overall tax.
Of course there are going to be hundreds if not thousands of additional deaths as the poor and elderly try to keep warm within their means.
There must be a way to bring these AGW criminals to book , and a punishment to fit the scale, rapacity of a national crime against the poor and elderly, with malice.
Well, I survived the night! The Warmist Brotherhood didn’t get me, indeed, there was a frost (which to them, would be akin to garlic to a vampire).
Life is tricky, avoiding the twin threats of the Warmist Brotherhood, and the fatwa-issuing Islamonuts, but they won’t get me, if I’m careful.
I’m thinking of joining the local French Eco Resistance, where they clandestinely arrange the passage and transfer of “deniers” to safe locations, and facilitate the reading of banned publications (like “The Hockey Stick Illusion”) and membership of proscribed blog sites (like Delingpole, and Joe Bastardi). They also arrange false identities for those on the run from the Gorists and the Pachauri IPCC Police.
Shhh – maybe I’ve said too much already – the walls have eco-ears, and you never know which trees are on your side – the larch would shop you for a backhander…
All members of the French Eco Resistance will be most welcome in our Afro-Siberian utopia. Each will be provided with bungalow style tented accomodation a candle and a bucket to p..s in
My attention has been drawn to another possible location in the interior of the great antipodean continent of Australia. What the locals affecionatly call “The Great Bugger All”….water may be a problem.
“…water may be a problem…”
Too much, or too little?
Having glaced through Prince Tampax’s treatise, “Harmony”, it is no surprise that the body of eco-nutters have obtained the designation “Royal”. The dear prince, as understanding of the lives of the common folk & as hypocritical in his own behaviour as Marcus.
None is a close estimation..hehe
Yeees, taking advice on frugal and eco living from a man who has servants to make his bed do his washing run his bath put his clean ironed clothes out and who lives in great big luxurious mansions?
Just what goes on in the mind of this puffed up prince when he feels able to lecture those with far less than he has to actually expect far less. I dont get how he doesnt realise what a parody of himself he is constructing. It would be like going to him for lessons and advice in being monogamous and faithful to your partner!
Ooops 😀
Watermelons. Like we’ve been saying for years, and defenders of the indefensible have been denying.
But such contradictions are lost on Mr Black (and Marcus Brigstocke!); they have their greenie worldview and they are sticking to it.
And they can afford to pay their Green Tax with their hyper-inflated BBC salaries.
There will be plenty of room for us all in Africa. Unless you are walking around with your eyes shut (or work for the BBC, which is tantamount to the same thing) you will have noticed Africa is in the process of moving here.
I see Black’s also going big on floods – put your house on a drought this summer.
“The UK needs to consume less and share people around the country more equally in order to tackle its environmental problems, a report recommends.”
Maybe this was the last straw for the elite. Do they really want mass immigration in their green and pleasant land?

Time to disband it chaps. Right tune just the wrong words.
Isn’t carbon Black? He must hate himself.
