People Power

Climate alarmists always like to claim that there is a link between CO2 and global warming because of the apparent coincidence of corresponding trends, never mind that even the CRU’s Phil Jones admitted that CO2 production lagged the warmth by 800 years.

But what else is there that has a similar corresponding pathway?  Population.

Here’s global warming…..

And here’s population growth…..

 

 

Very similar trajectories and time scales……when the West’s population was falling the third world’s was booming and they all needed heating and fires to cook on [using coal or wood from forests cleared to also provide more agricultural land to feed the multitude] never mind their own use of vehicles and industrialisation…ala China.

Just as viable to blame the third world and developing nations for global warming as the West….but that wouldn’t fit the Left’s agenda of stripping industry from the West and robbing the West of its wealth to hand out to the third world.

Amused to see the Catholic Church wanting birth control and a say in the science of climate.…why oh why isn’t Harrabin sneering at the Pope as he did to a Republican climate sceptic who also happened to be a believing Christian who didn’t accept the theory of evolution….presumably something the Pope must also be somewhat sceptical about?

 

 

 

 

Is Roger Harrabin Completely Untrustworthy?

It is astonishing but there seems to be hardly a word that Harrabin writes or says that can be relied upon to be the whole and honest truth.  He is just relentless in his half-truths and outright lies.

Here he condemns the government….

 

 

Only the government hasn’t ‘slapped on’ extra VAT to renewables…it’s a consultation about proposed changes, ones to be made at the behest of the beloved EU……..

This consultation looks at proposed changes to the reduced rate of VAT for the installation of energy saving materials in compliance with a recent decision by the European Court.

Small World

It’s a very small world for Roger Harrabin who seems only concerned with a very narrow world view happily ignoring all else going on especially if it doesn’t fit his own narrative.

Once again he obsesses about the UK decision to shelve carbon capture….a great pity for all those in the carbon capture industry who were looking forward to the mega cash-flow filling their bank balances….always odd how a BBC obsessed with big business ripping us off ignores the personal £100 milliion fortune green energy tycoon Dale Vince made on the back of government subsidies.

Anyway here’s Harrabin once again on his hobbyhorse…

 

Oh look…and again…

Funny how he is totally uninterested in what other Americans have to say [except to promote Greenpeace propaganda]…how about this from a US Senate sub-committee…..

Data or Dogma? Promoting Open Inquiry in the Debate over the Magnitude of Human Impact on Earth’s Climate

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), chairman of the Subcommittee on Space, Science, and Competitiveness, will convene a hearing titled “Data or Dogma? Promoting Open Inquiry in the Debate over the Magnitude of Human Impact on Earth’s Climate” on Tuesday, December 8 at 3 p.m. The hearing will focus on the ongoing debate over climate science, the impact of federal funding on the objectivity of climate research, and the ways in which political pressure can suppress opposing viewpoints in the field of climate science.

Harrabin knows it is occuring because the Greenpeace anti-sceptic propaganda was released to coincide with the hearing as their target was one of the witnesses and they were attempting to discredit him…aided by Harrabin who linked to their libel attempt.

Here [from WUWT] is Mark Steyn’s testimony and below is a video of him in action at the hearing slamming the ‘cartoon climatology’, the claim that the ‘science is settled’, and the failure to admit the ‘divergence of opinion’ on climate science by those with vested interests…..

 

 

 

 

TRUMPED….

I was talking to Jon Gaunt earlier today about the intolerance of the political Left. Nowhere is this more concentrated than in the citadels of the media, with the BBC being the Sanctum Sanctorum. With cultural marxism providing the linguistic narrative, it was obvious that the BBC would be horrified by Trumps ‘No Muslims” comment. How DARE he have an opinion they don’t like? The BBC are such hypocrites. They feign an interest in all shades of opinion but the truth is they only tolerate that narrow range that resonates with their dhimmified metrosexual liberalism. It’s been clear for a long time that the BBC want Hillary Clinton to be become the next POTUS and Trump is causing them a headache because they more he is criticised by the left wing media stateside, the stronger he gets. Can you imagine the BBC having to report on a future “President Trump has phoned President Le Pen to discuss the UK’s exit from the EU?” scenario.

GET FURY…

For years the BBC has shoved down the cultural wonders of Romany Culture down our throats and along comes Tyson Fury, spouting his own “Romany values” and the BBC becomes apoplectic with rage! You have to laugh at it all. I really hope he wins SPOFTY just to hear his victory speech. Mind you, some BBC journalists won’t be happy…

A BBC Northern Ireland journalist has been “threatened with suspension” after criticising the broadcaster’s decision to keep Tyson Fury on the shortlist for the BBC Sports Personality of the year, according to reports. Andy West, a BBC NI news presenter wrote on his Facebook that he was “ashamed to work for the BBC”, according to BuzzFeed News.

So he should be.

COMPARE AND CONTRAST…

Biased BBC reader Harristotle observes:

“The Islamic State are muslims following Islam. They live in muslim lands and are angry at non-muslim occupation of muslim lands (amongst other things, including other muslims from a different faction of Islam). They live by the Koran, under Sharia Law, and have muslim scholars in their ranks.  However, the BBC will happily continue to refer to them as “so-called”, and many commentators, including some bloke and the Prime Minister, call them “non muslims”. 

 Yet Edward Manning sticks on a dress and calls himself Chelsea, in order to avoid a male prison, and the BBC refer to him as “she”. 
 
 
Their use of evidence is inconsistent at best.”

Who said it: Donald Trump or Adolf Hitler?

 

Dan Hodges has joined the ‘outraged’ band wagon rallying against Trump…Donald Trump is an outright fascist who should be banned from Britain today

The trouble is, as with so many, Hodges is a hypocrite…ready to call Islam a problem but also ready to call anyone who calls Islam a problem a racist.  We’ve noted this aspect of Hodges’ personality on this site but one  of the 494 (so far ) commenters on his article in the Telegraph has similarly noted his two-faced stance listing Hodges’ previous comments…..

    Dan Hodges’ views on Islam:

    “Over a quarter of British Muslims have sympathy for the Charlie Hebdo terrorists. That is far too many

    Just because you wouldn’t personally go out and murder people, it doesn’t make you moderate. We cannot turn a blind eye to the fair-weather supporters of terrorism”

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/new…

    “Too many of Britain’s Muslims are failing to integrate. We need to find out why”

    http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/n…

    “There is a clear link between Islam and terrorism. It’s up to all of us to break it

    We can pretend Paris had nothing to do with religion, and reap the consequences, or we can fight to reclaim faith from the fanatics”

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/new…

    “We can’t leave the debate on Islam to the Islamophobes

    This is an argument that mustn’t lead to us being forced to take sides – there are no sides to take”

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/new…

    “What if the terrorists were Christian?

    To understand how to respond to the Charlie Hebdo atrocity, we only have to imagine what would happen if the situation was reversed”
