Global Warming is an EU Conspiracy : (Real Player sound file). I was listening to BBC R4's Today programme and they had a piece about a conference being held on climate change. A man by the name of Myron Ebell a senior adviser to Bush on Climate Change, was propounding his thoughts that the EU was using Climate Change theory as a way to restrict more competitive US businesses. Along with this he also felt that since most non-US scientists are government funded and that their views on are influenced by their country's agendas.

Aside from his blinkered views, I was just stunned at their paranoic nature and wondered whether this is the sort of thing that must be continually whispered into Bush's ear?

  • Damn! They've rumbled us. All that trouble we went to making a hole in the ozone layer...
  • Global Warming is a conspiracy? Damn, and here I thought it was pretty hard science.
  • No, no. The record-heat Summers and snowless Winters are merely the effect of God's love shining upon a righteous president.
  • While the hurricanes of God's wrath blow the unrighteous away from the Messiah's Brother's land.
  • And Alaska melting is just one of those crazy things.
  • Customers who enjoyed this EU Conspiracy, also liked the following EU Conspiracies: ~ Radiation as cause of radiation sickness ~ Pollution being carcinogenic ~ Evolution ~ Laws of Thermodynamics 1-3 (Zeroth law Australasian Conspiracy) ~ Fire
  • So what would that say about Bush's funded studies?
  • See also: Patrick J Michaels, author of 'The Satanic Gases' and occasional speaker at Congressional hearings. These people are paid big bucks by energy companies and get a lot of prestige from saying climate change is a sham.
  • I can't believe this is actually debatable. It's not like we have a back-up Earth in case we screw it up.
  • This is the scariest bit of news I have heard all year. Though I do like how the BBC reporter still manages to slip in barbed questions, ever so politely. BBC is still winning as the best news organisation in the world.
  • "The study said the annual average amount of sea ice in the Arctic has decreased by about 8 percent in the past 30 years, resulting in the loss of 386,100 square miles of sea ice - an area bigger than Texas and Arizona combined." Wow.
  • Same study, different headline - Florida is sinking.
