No proof of global warming

We are told that last year was the hottest on record, and this proves the theory of global warming correct. Wrong! If you look back to 1949, records reveal a scorching summer and autumn, with claims it was the hottest for 300 years.

1949 was sandwiched between the two coldest and longest winters for centuries, thus proving that climate change is a continual process, colder as well as warmer.

We are lucky that a higher than usual average temperature has resulted in billions of tonnes less coal, oil and gas being burned to keep warm, thus saving the world's finite reserves of fuel.

The eco-zealots and "green" prophets of doom, who want to impose a draconian Orwellian regime on their fellow citizens, should be told to get stuffed in no uncertain fashion!

If they want to cook their veggie burgers over a solar panel outside their teepee, that's up to them.

Trouble is, they want to force us all into their wretched shivvering lifestyle as well, and the Government's thought police see their nonsense as an excuse to impose a Maoist regime on Britain.
