END OF THE WORLD UPDATE... (Pt 2)

>> Monday, October 19, 2009

Having read David Vance's post on Gordon Brown's maniacal prophesies of impeding doom it seemed rude not to take a further look.

Not bias, but to be filed under General Hilarity. Sometimes story placement is just too good to ignore.



PM warns of climate 'catastrophe'  right next to Millions tricked by 'scareware'. Brilliant.

Good one! The irony of it all no doubt whooshed straight over BBC heads.  Climate change alarmism attracts all sorts of losers and wackos.

The HYS comments - most popular - are probably the bes read on the BBC today.
I think the clothes are starting to disappear from the Emperor

Oh the irony. Though not quite on a par with the occasion when Al Gore used an industrial lifting device commonly known as a "cherrypicker" with which to demonstrate Michael Mann's hockey stick graph.

Great find! Anyone remember the Rio summit? We had "10 years to save the world" back then. Now when was that?

The cult of Anthropogenic Global Warming is an abortion anyway, but I can't think of a bigger nail in its coffin than having that psychotic miscreant, Gordon Brown electing to stick his fetid, one-eyed oar in.

Now that our unelected serial liar and self appointed saviour of the world has chipped in his tuppence worth into the debate we can be 119.43% sure that mans tiny CO2 contribution is NOT responsible for climate change.
Floods and droughts in the UK eh? Oooooh no please save us Mr Brown, please raise our taxes even higher, please let the power companies jack up our bills to unaffordable levels, please Mr Brown can you destroy our industrial base because that will save us all from from droughts and floods wont it? In fact Mr Brown shut down all our industries and ration our home energy needs and food supplies because that will really stop those pesky floods'N'droughts'N'global warming'N'stuff, of course all these dangers have not yet occurred and there is no proof that they ever will, but the scary images are perfect for scaring the population into allowing massive socio political changes.
UNLESS of course all those taxes and and restrictions will not affect the climate at all, perhaps the climate changes naturally and we should learn to cope with those natural cycles that BTW have been very very kind to humanity of the last ten thousand years or so enabling us to thrive and build civilisations to help us cope with everything nature has in store for us, but hey what do I know?

The planetary disaster scenario that always seems to slip further away as we approach the intended time limits, that sounds more like a whacko cult than a scientific theory.

The end is nigh, repent sinners, the judgement day is nearly here so repent your sins and prepare for the end for it is nearly nigh, did I mention that it is nigh, really really nigh, just not now but nigh, only by giving up your freedoms and living the life of a poor third world peasant can you hope to be saved from the terrible wrath of a vengeful planet(god), only by living in a peoples one world dictatorship can you be saved from the hellfires of eternal damnation etc etc.
Those who can still use logical thought in determining facts and reality from childish fantasies and mass infantile delusions can only look on with utter sadness and despair as people submerge themselves into the sewer of backward ignorance.

The one eyed idiot must be behind in the polls. What happened to poll watch by the way?

Cassandra, you're on form today.

H L Mencken comes to mind: "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

Antony Jay

"But we were not just anti-Macmillan; we were anti-industry, anti-capitalism, anti-advertising, anti-selling, anti-profit, anti-patriotism, anti-monarchy, anti-Empire, anti-police, anti-armed forces, anti-bomb, anti-authority. Almost anything that made the world a freer, safer and more prosperous place, you name it, we were anti it."
Antony Jay, Telegraph, July 2007

Andrew Marr

"..the final answer, frankly, is the vigorous use of state power to coerce and repress. It may be my Presbyterian background, but I firmly believe that repression can be a great, civilising instrument for good. Stamp hard on certain 'natural' beliefs for long enough and you can almost kill them off."
Andrew Marr, The Guardian Feb. 1999

Jeremy Paxman

"But the bigger question is whether the BBC itself has a future. Working for it has always been a bit like living in Stalin’s Russia, with one five-year-plan, one resoundingly empty slogan after another. One BBC, Making it Happen, Creative Futures, they all blur into one great vacuous blur. I can’t even recall what the current one is. Rather like Stalin’s Russia, they express a belief that the system will go on forever."
Jeremy Paxman, The James McTaggart Memorial, 24th August 2007
