The current
panic over Global Warming, dismissed as dishonest and ‘junk science’ by many of
the world’s top scientists, is being fuelled by outright lies and blatant
scaremongering. Even our love of animals is being used against us, in order to
persuade us to accept their theories as facts. ‘Tigers, Polar Bears, and umpteen
other animals, could be extinct within thirty-years.’ So runs an
advertisement currently appearing on television; and that is the first clue,
that the argument is as full as holes as a pair of fishnet stockings. After all,
anything could happen, including – nothing at all.
Now, advertising on television is expensive, very expensive indeed, and
one of the reasons for using this media is because of its cinematic effect. Your
audience can see the animals, and listen to the informed and compassionate
narrative – and they’re hooked, despite the fact that the narrator is probably a
professional actor, and most of the animals shown are threatened more by losing
their natural habitat to man, and not through global warming. However, the main
reason people advertise on television is in order to sell us something. In this
particular case we are being sold a concept, the idea that global warming is all
man’s fault, but we can, by doing as we’re told, and in conjunction with
accepting a huge increase in taxation, turn things around – before it’s too
late.
That of course is complete and absolute poppycock, but these are the
same lunatics that have made it a disciplinary offence for a teacher to tell a
child its being naughty, misbehaving, or acting like a spoilt child. In days
gone by these political bigots would propbably have lived in mortal fear of falling off the edge of the world.
Whenever politicians need to raise money, or to distract us from their
glittering dishonesty and incompetence, they try to frighten us by
scaremongering.
Gordon Brown will raise billions of pounds in new taxes using global
warming as his excuse, but to demonstrate just how concerned he, or New Labour, are about climate change, consider this:according to a government report on 7th November 2006, there were 2,718,080 household pensioners claiming pension credit, and each and every one of those pensioners will soon be made to travel, every week,
by car or bus to collect their pensions. That’s a staggering one-hundred-and
fifty-million-plus unnecessary road journeys a year, courtesy of Gordon Brown’s determination to eliminate the Post Office.
Having their pensions paid into the bank may well result in pensioners having to pay bank charges as banks rush to scrap free banking. One wonders how, Gordon Brown, heralded, by his staff, as being canny and shrewd, failed to forsee that the banks would profit from his unexpected gift to them, another of his shortsighted follies.
But the millions forced to travel to collect their pensions is as nothing compared to the millions more now forced to travel to work in out of town factories, shops, stores, supermarkets and
warehouses. Every time a housing estate is built on green land so the need for
transport has to increase. Yet only this week it was announced that New Labour
was removing its restrictions of out of town developments.
Workplaces used to be located close enough to peoples homes that there was no need to drive to work. But successive governments have insisted that unsightly factories and warehouse should be built out of sight,and out of town. Having now succeeded in moving almost all the workplaces onto industrial estates, it is now trying to blame the workforce, for using vehicles or piblic transport, of creating unnecessary pollution.
