Eating Meat is as anti-social as drink driving!

In the stupidest climate panic statement yet made, New Labour's Lord Stern of Brentford likened the supposedly anti-social habit of eating meat to drunk driving. Warning us all of the coming conflict he thinks will be engendered by global warming, he tells us all that a vegetarian diet is 'better' and uses less water.

Is there no end to the idiocy of these proselysing busy bodies? Now that Marxism and traditional religion have become unfashionable in Europe, the rudderless mob has flocked to environmentalism and instead of demanding that we stop having sex and worship Jesus' or support the dictatorship of the proletariat, they want to create another kind of global misery, in which we all embrace poverty, veganism, lack of mobility, and power our fluorescent glow worm lights with windmills. All they have underlying the hype, is a change in global average temperature of one degree. The span of this change is a hundred years. Apart from the output of magical computer models; a sort of latter day holy book, not to be questioned, that is the evidence on which the scam is built. One degree of observed change.

Science is supposed to be founded on EMPIRICISM, actual observation and measurement, not predictive computer programmes. Never since Joseph Smith told his neighbours that angels brought him some golden plates and some magic spectacles - thus founding Mormonism, has such a con been set in motion. Global Warming is an article of faith in the new religion of Environmentalism, and like other religions, it depends on prophets to spread the word. Last week Gordon Brown set off on his own prophetic mission - going about with a worried look and telling people that we had fifty days to save the world. We already know that he is a liar - why do people listen?
