These breathless reports about the planet never being hotter, take them
with a truckload of salt. How can anyone place the slightest credence in
claims being advanced by people who fail to grasp, or refuse to grasp,
the simple truth about trend lines and temperature....... “Read all about it! Read all about it! It’s the hottest year on
record — except for another five hotter years!” A new twist can be put
on the aphorism attributed to Benjamin Disraeli. It is now clear that
there are lies, damn lies, and the interpretation of climate statistics. ..........
....Solutions which go, among other things, to research and development,
across all forms of energy; to minimizing obstacles to the exploitation
of gas and nuclear energy; and to adaptation might find common ground
among rational warmists and sceptics alike and those in the middle;
always provided environmental extremists like the Greens are excluded
from the process. Is this optimistic? Probably it is.
Unfortunately the alternative is to continue the madness of trying to
price carbon dioxide emissions in a world market which will inevitably
reward massive rigging; of spending bucket loads of money on totally
ineffective and impoverishing measures; of bribing poor countries to
implement inefficient methods of power generation keeping them
uncompetitive and dependent; and of regressing to a Dark Ages-collective
state of mind which values and promotes cripplingly expensive tokenism
over practical solutions."
