Today’s Times carries a catalogue of the dodgy science (and scientists) supporting the global warming circus. Most of it we have heard before and it does those involved no credit whatsoever. But more interesting is the commentary supplied by one Vicky Pope.
The gist of what she has to say is that mistakes have been made (actually the facts suggest persistent attempts to mislead the public and deny the rights conferred under the Freedom of Information Act) but that the science underlying the arguments in favour of man made global warming ‘remain robust’. According to our Vicky it is simply a communications problem concerned with public perception of what climate research is all about - like refusing to give out information that may not suit the thesis and deleting inconvenient emails sent by research staff at East Anglia University.
May interest readers to know that (Dr) Vicky Pope is the head of climate change advice at the Met Office - yes the same people that predicted the barbecue summer and mild winter. Good to know we are in such capable hands!
Hi me old mate
Just a quickie before I go off to Australia to check out the Shielas . Me old mate Gordie came up trumps with the benefits and so no probs with going for a couple of months this time - they even send the old benefits to me in Aus while Im away like . Good bloke I reckon.
So this global warming stuff - load of crap if you ask me mate cause its more like global cooling here in the old flat here in Lambeth . But hey me old mate Bruce in Aus reckons its 31 there today so Ill have a load of that . Maybe thats the thing you know . Maybe it aint global warming but Aussie warming what we shold be going on about but then I reckon its Ok cause the shielas look great down there and rubbish here in Lambeth . What I dont get though is why they are all black here like where its cold and they are all blond babes in Aus where its hot .Now theres one for all your intellectual readers to have a good old think about while im swanning about downunder
See you soon mate
Eric
