Green in oh so many ways
A couple of stories from my home country to raise a smile, and perchance, a chuckle into the bargain:
- Eco-totalitarian George Monbiot wants to force people with big houses to take in lodgers, to save the planet, I guess. Would it apply to his own massive pile? Ed West in the UK Telegraph rips Moonbat a new one. Ed calls it fascism, but I think it's closer to Marxism. What do you think?
- The Met Office is in damage control mode, as it tries to spin its way out of failing to forecast the UK's coldest winter in 300 years. Apparently, they did tell the government, but didn't make a public announcement as the nasty general public were mean and horrid to them the last time they screwed up with the "barbecue summer" prediction. Sound credible? No, doesn't to me either.
- Louise Gray, eco-loony environment reporter for the Telegraph discovers that wind turbines are useless when the wind doesn't blow. Maybe the government will also realise this in time, before the UK's lights go out for good.

If they told the government, why were they still not prepared for it?.. Or did the government ignore their supposed prediction?
Any way you cut it, it looks bad for both.
By the way, that pic of the UK is inaccurate; right now it’s much whiter.
There’s a pretty good smackdown of the Met’s goof at WUWT:

From Moonbats piece:-
“I suggest a new concept: housing footprints. Your housing footprint is the number of bedrooms divided by the number of people in the household. Like ecological footprints, it reminds us that the resource is finite, and that, if some people take more than they need, others are left with less than they need.”
Err, except for Al Gore, little Jimmy Cameron (quintessential hypocrite and wanker) and Moonbat himself of course Comrade….
