What a surprise... Wont be long until all Pom gov workers (Pollys excepted) will be banned from aircraft.


Here's something for the poms...

PROFITEERS have jumped on the "doom and gloom bandwagon" surrounding climate change and are cashing in on the drive for "green" technologies, according to TV presenter and author Johnny Ball...

“In the climate change debate there are three kinds of people – those who latch on to the doom and gloom bandwagon and make huge profits with so-called green technology contracts that, without subsidies, they would not touch with a barge pole as they would be unprofitable.

“Then there are those who preach doom and gloom and urge us to turn technology backwards and not forward.

“And finally, we have those who have confidence and faith that by following true science we can improve every area of our lives.”

“The increasing shrillness of the message about global warming has about it a certain messianic flavour usually associated with religious faith rather than empirical or scientific knowledge”
