Here we go again…Richard Black advocating at full throttle that governments should start taxing oil at the well-head to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Begrudgingly, he concedes that efforts to create a “carbon” market have been a fiasco and a farce, but now he reckons that every barrel of oil should cost more. Words fail me…he is actually advocating – at a time when energy prices are going through the roof because of idiotic, cack-handed government policies – that billions round the world who rely on fossil fuel should be made to suffer hardship. It’s an appalling prospect, akin to the tax on bread (via tithes) in pre-revolutionary France, and shows how reckless about human welfare green zealots are. In their bigoted pursuit of the climate change creed, they want a re-imposition of repressive, regressive state larceny. Those who would be hurt the most are the poor, the old and the young, particularly in developing economies, but no matter Mr Black, you are saving the world here – so they can suffer.
What’s doubly depressing is Mr Black’s report of a BMA conference on Monday attended by a coterie of climate change fanatics who are in, or have held, senior positions within broadly the establishment, including, really worryingly the armed forces. All of them agreed like lemmings that climate change is an immediate threat to security, and of course, Mr Black lapped it all up and reported their lunacy with admiring relish. Meanwhile, in the real world, the debunking of such climate scare buffoonery goes on apace.
‘including, really worryingly the armed forces.’
Goodness sake, two are Fisheads and the crab is a Navigator.
PC-minded GCB wannabes.
Despite the general trend towards scepticism, the public at large are generally content to go along with what the great and powerful (such as David Attenborough <img src=”extra/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-undecided.gif” title=”Undecided” border=”0″ alt=”Undecided”/>) tell them is the right thing to do. However as people freeze in their houses because they’re frightened to put the heating on, reality will crash headlong into ideology and I foresee a nasty outcome to this all.
Where it will lead, none of us can know but I’d like to think the fall of the BBC as a trusted organisation will be one of the better outcomes.
Eeek! What happened to the smiley?
Robin, there was no tax on bread in pre-revolutionary France – the opposite in fact. It was subsidised, and the maximum price was fixed. That was why supplies ran out in Paris – after a bad harvest bakers could not sell bread without making a loss.
The bad harvests were, I think, due largely to the eruption of Katla, whcih is alleged to have indirectly helped to bring on the French revolution.
Maybe if Katla performs again, you could have a revolution in the UK, too!
We all know that Black is a humanity hating tax parasite, who is a devout member of the church of global warming alarmism. Why give him the time of day?
Perhaps the only taxation Black would disapprove is the reintroduction of the Window Tax.
As he seems to think he is right about everything, surley he wouldn’t want to deny the non-believers a good view of their own surroundings as they melt away into oblivion ?
I don’t know about a wondow tax, but defenestration would maybe clarify his thoughts.
Of course what Black dos not say is that his nonsensical trash presentation is green party policy/green piss lunacy. He is nothing more than a stooge of ecofascism. The policy consists of impoverishing the poorest in society in order to build their client support base. Their ugly rancid creed thrives with mass poverty, its what the watermellons dream of, a chance to attack the basis of the capitalism they so despise. And they will go to any lengths, hurt as many people, destroy as many lives as they can to do it.
You see, their creed has never been about saving the world, its all about pulling down and destroying the old systems in order for their virus of a belief system to thrive. Happy prosperous confident people have no need of the watermellon credo do they?/
Notice how he’s not too keen on Personal Carbon Allowances.
Such a measure would make it hard for well paid people in cushy, secure jobs in quasi-government departments like the BBC to spend all their income in the ways that currently please them – larger homes to heat than the average man, second homes, more holidays, flights, gap years for the kids, cars, cars for the kids etc too.
However the eco-fascists change tack over the years there’s one thing that stays constant – it’s very much a ‘do as I say, not as I do’ business.
Black’s article can be summed up thus: the carbon-trading scheme is a scam and an utter failure so AGW scientists are – via useful idiots like BBC reporters – desperately trying to think of new ways of fleecing businesses and consumers in order to keep the climate-change bandwagon rolling and cash flooding in.
Actually, this article proves – if confirmation were needed – that the climate-change circus has little to do with climate or the environment and everything to do with tax-levying and politics.
As the general thread seems to have vanished. This mornings Radio 5 phone in was a real hoot, the BBC at its very worst. Dame Nikki and the rest of Radio 5 giving some Irish pikey all the airtime she wanted to wish people dead, to make false accusations about the Police and to be given a free platform to spout her hatred.
All the violence was coming from the pikeys and the left wing nut jobs, Dame Nikki tried to claim that a ‘Tazer’ is a gun and shouldn’t be used by the Police. No Nikki it’s used BY trained fire arms officers you left wing retard.
Basically the BBC as usual are on the wrong side of the argument with the general public, Dame Nikki tried to claim that they were getting massive numbers of texts in support of the Pikey scum, yet you just know that wasn’t true, as usual with the BBC, when it’s say 90% one way the BBC will claim that people are ‘split’, they’ve used this lie before.
The pikeys had their day in court (many) and lost, if they don’t like England then piss off back to Ireland. As for Dame Nikki, just piss off.
“The pikeys had their day in court (many) and lost, if they don’t like England then piss off back to Ireland.”
Our Pikey friends are here for the benifits which they steal on an industrial scale. Ireland is not famous for handing out free money and if the English are retarded enough to lavish free money on them then who are they to turn it down. Its well known that social security staff have been ordered to give them everything they want and more as soon as they turn up at the door.
Travellers, Gypsies, whatever one might call them, are quite frightening people. They are completely outside the law and woebetide you if you do anything to upset them. I would hate to have to live anywhere near them and trust that the police will continue to move them on wherever they might set up their illegal encampments. Every time they appear in my neck of the woods, the mess they leave once they’ve gone is quite disgusting.
One observation: I’m told that there are a lot of ‘travellers’ who spend a lot of time between living in the UK and in Australia.
One question : does the USA suffer from these people as we do here in the UK?
i think when Dick talks about carbon he actually means cardon dioxide
its a simple mistake, but as he hasnt got any qualifications in science, we have to accept that this expert hasnt got a clue about science
keep up the bad work Dick, youre running out of spaces to bang them nails in that coffin yourer making for yourself
🙂
it would appear that Dick is a political activist as well
Richard “produced and presented radio programmes covering science, environment and health, including co-founding the World Service strand One Planet, which marries environment and development issues.”

Was the security of all those Iron Age settlements in places like Greenland threatened by Warming? I forget.
