GW Insanity Prevails in Britain

This is what happens when politicians glom onto a bad idea. Despite the fact there is no proof that human beings are casuing climate change. Despite the fact that, evidence is to the contrary, the government of Great Britain is planning to force people to change their houses or else.

Homeowners who refuse to make their properties energy efficient will face financial penalties under drastic government plans to transform Britain into the world’s first ‘green’ economy.

Ministers yesterday promised deep cuts to greenhouse gas emissions that they warned would mean everyone in the country having to ‘live, work and travel differently’.

They compared the scale of change that was necessary to reduce emissions by 60 per cent by 2050 to the industrial revolution of the 18th century.

Insanity.

I mean, sure, lowering energy use will make their lives more economical after paying for the expense of making their house green. It will also likely result in inferior heating and lighting, among other things. I suppose part of their goal is to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. They need to go nuclear, which apparently, they are. And if they had a lot sooner this would be a moot point.

This is going to force a lot of needless expenses on Brits. And watch out, because you can expect the same kind of crap here if the Democrats get in power again. They aren’t powerful enough yet, but there is the slight possibilityy they could win the next election. (Fat chance if Hillary runs).

Personally, it really disturbs me that people who should know better (the climate is always changing, people. It is never the same) would believe some movie by a political hack like Al Gore, when his

exaggerations are so pronounced (a 2 feet sea level rise prediction is turned to 20 in his film). Of course, I think a lot of GW posers don’t really believe the hype, they are rubbing their hands together for the income it is generating for them. It’s becoming a multi-billion dollar industry and the hacks are doing their best to make it more lucrative.

We really need to put a stop to this stuff before it gets out of hand. It’s already getting there.

You are EXACTLY right!!! It’s ALL about the Benjamins. From ‘research bucks’ to buying set-asides to higher taxes. God forbid Shrillary takes over. It’d be a horror!!!!

Britain begins the descent into fascism and totalatarianism. Carbon police inspecting your home. Can you imagine?

Hud, this stuff does not always pay for itself. Watch their economy go in the crapper if this thing gets legs.

Damn, I’m becoming more of an isolationist every day.

The Tory party also introduced a bill to tax people for any flights they take out of Britain, in the name of global warming. There’s a once-a-year exclusion for a short haul flight (i.e. England to Spain) but it will be extra expensive to say, take a business flight to New York. Can we all say economic suicide?
