The unique thing is that the control will be supranational. <br /><br />The days of the notion of national sovereignty are over.<br /><br />Bucko - Could we add the evils of plastic bags to that list? <br /><br />I love how nanny has identified that waste to landfill is an issue (as indeed it is), but that the solution is to make those responsible for 70% of what we send to landfill (the supermarkets, in the form of excessive packaging) stop providing free plastic bags. No need to address the packaging issue and upset our powerful grocerists.<br /><br />Black Sea: I was thinking the same about the parallels of the control the Catholic church exerted for centuries by keeping the Scriptures hidden from ordinary people (by making sure they were not available to the masses in their own language), instead interpreting it for them and making them live their lives according to what the clergy deemed as good.<br /><br />Science is the new religion, the State is the Pope and Scientists are becoming the new priesthood.<br /><br />~Fatbob~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-58630328228133777462009-11-24T00:52:03.914+00:002009-11-24T00:52:03.914+00:00Just glanced through the Monbiot blog post.

A typical 'government' type IT project gone wrong it seems. That said I have seen many commercial IT projects that have fared little if any better.<br /><br />But the commercial systems usually have to be corrected and refined for improvement or the company goes out of business. Government sponsored rubbish can be maintained for years, discrepancy building on discrepancy as reputations are protected.<br /><br />Someone elsewhere quoted a couple of sentences from a George Monbiot article today an they seemed to suggest he felt he had been misled. If that is a true interpretation it would be astounding for someone who has for so long championed 'the science' of the green cause so forcefully.<br /><br />I wonder what he knows that others don't?

Thank you for pointing out that Anthoprogeni...Ken,<br /><br />Thank you for pointing out that Anthoprogenic Global Warming (AGW) is a religion in the making, or perhaps one doctrine in a body of emerging belief, and is being defended along the same lines as those employed by the Catholic church hundreds of years ago in "discouraging" any wayward inquiries into its orthodoxy. <br /><br />Science is the pursuit of empirical fact. Scientists who suppress data contradicting their hypotheses are not engaging in science, but in the policing of heresy.<br /><br />"The various modes of worship, which prevailed in the Roman world, were all considered by the people, as equally true; by the philosopher, as equally false; and by the magistrate, as equally useful." --Gibbon<br /><br />People have always believed all manner of bullshit. It's the magistrates that worry me. Carbon allotments and cap-and-trade legislation are the means by which our overlords will tax us back to the middle ages, during which they have every intention of playing the roles of earls, dukes, and kings, while the rest of us slave away in our cubicles, and trudge home to an evening of tepid gruel.<br /><br />You will note that Al Gore, the Chicken Little-in-Chief when it comes to AGW, hasn't yet taken up the life of monastic self-sacrifice he so enthusiastcally urges onto the peasantry:<br /><br />"Public records reveal that as Gore lectures Americans on excessive consumption, he and his wife Tipper live in two properties: a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville, and a 4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Va. (He also has a third home in Carthage, Tenn.) For someone rallying the planet to pursue a path of extreme personal sacrifice, Gore requires little from himself."Black Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347464061061628147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-23856231791305590142009-11-23T12:05:37.535+00:002009-11-23T12:05:37.535+00:00I think the vast majority of people could see thro...I think the vast majority of people could see through the green scam for what it is; An excuse to tax and to control.<br /><br />What is more worrying is that the climate change religion is going to be taught in schools as fact, thanks to Ed-ucation Balls-up and his diktats. This policy is indoctrination and NOT education.<br />Those of my age group, were taught to question and think for ourselves, that type of behaviour will not be tolerated now in this former nation.<br /><br />I always ask the green enviro-mentalists the same questions and none of them to date can answer the questions...It really upsets them.<br /><br />1) At what point in time was our climate fixed?<br />2) If the change is man made, why are similar levels of polar cap melting seen on Mars?<br />3) Insread of spending a fortune on fighting nature, why not invest money in adapting to it?<br /><br />Other questions that also annoy the new disciples are these;<br />a) Why are we still cutting down rainforest to grow rape for bio fuels...Surely we need the lungs of the planetdon't we?<br />b) Why do ministers and presidents and all their hangers on fly everywhere to discuss green issues, surely if flying was so bad they would use video confrencing wouldn't they?<br /><br /><br />One recent story in the press was about fallen leaves costing us a fortune to put into landfil as it was deemed to be litter by the EUSSR, funny, because I always thought leaves were bio degradeable just as they are in my garden.<br /><br />Just for the record, I am in favour of sensible, non oppressive and non punative green measures, such as recycling but, I am very opposed to the draconian policies that Labour have imposed on us sadly, Blue Labour will be no different because the agenda has been purchased by a very rich,(Dad's money) single issue doner.<br /><br />The next big thing in the green campaign will be zero waste, if you think the climate change brigade are nutters, wait until you hear from the zero waste brigade, they are fanatics and, as is the case with all pressure groups/single issue groups, they want to force their beliefs and lifestyle choice onto the rest of us and Nanny will help them because it will be a nice little tax earner for her...Kerching!!<br /><br />Enjoy climate change denial responsibly.Tonk.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-48402072090920692172009-11-23T11:03:21.583+00:002009-11-23T11:03:21.583+00:00Global Warming
