Climate Change is so Last Year. Even Last Century.
Even the IPCC is recanting.
But not our redoubtable Ed Miliband, who it seems is made of sterner stuff.
And indeed, who is to say who is right and who is wrong?
Perhaps those whom Ed the IYI insists on dragging remorselessly ever deeper into his government-mandated whirlpool of subsidies cross-charges and opaque pricing mechanisms that somehow purport to show that by paying for more subsidies more grid infrastructure thousands of miles of pylons and millions of windmills that wont work when the wind doesn't blow (not to mention more charges for turning off windmills when the wind blows too hard) the much-patronised consumers will actually pay less for their electricity ... ?
Well, when all else fails, it all depends on your assumptions.
My assumption is that since we will need gas power stations anyway for those times when the wind doesn't blow, we may as well use them when it does blow and save us all the additional wind and solar farms and grid connections and subsidies and cross-charge mechanisms etc etc ... but perhaps that's too difficult a concept for an intellectual to grasp.
After all, we're saving the planet here - Oh Wait! Doesn't the extra CO2 feed the plants that green the earth and allow deserts to become productive and cattle to be reared on ranches, as they have been for countless years previous?
We don't need saving from CO2, we need saving from fake politicians who don't listen.
