Global warming 'sceptic' has heart attack live on TV in parody of a Monty Python sketch A climate change “sceptic” scientist, Prof Henrik Svensmark, has suffered a heart attack at the Copenhagen summit that was caught live on primetime Danish TV. Telegraph -- Andrew Hough -- 15 Dec 2009 telegraph.co.uk The world renowned physicist, from the Danish National Space Center in Copenhagen, collapsed mid-sentence during a debate on global warming at the weekend. While answering a question, the 41 year-old, one of the world’s leading climate change “sceptics”, spasmed, while making coughing-styled noises before collapsing to the floor, according to Danish reports. While his fellow panellists looked baffled, Prof Svensmark, who argues the recent warming period was caused by solar activity, then mumbled “It's my heart”, before falling to the ground in agony. The disturbing video of the incident shows him screaming and then shuddering, before his pacemaker kicked in. Fellow panellist Bjorn Lomborg, the Danish professor who achieved international fame with his previous book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, was sitting next to him. As others came over to help, Prof Svensmark's colleague, whose main thesis is that many of the most-publicised claims and predictions on environmental issues are wrong, yelled "call an ambulance, call an ambulance". The show was halted by producers for 10 minutes while viewers were informed that Prof Svensmark had a pacemaker, and it went on because his heart rate had slowed down. After being rushed to hospital, he is reported to be in a stable condition. Prof Svensmark said the last time the world experienced such high temperatures, during the medieval warming period, the Sun and the Earth were in a similar cycle. .

Snowy, the discussion about Israel, Palestine, Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, India, Tibet, China, Korea, Japan and Iran's atomic bombs is vital to BBR. [I was going to stop at Iran but the borders just kept coming]. If the Straits of Hormuz are shut, you will see a bust. If Saudi Arabia's oil stops flowing, that's not good [unless you want less CO2 emissions]. Gib and Marcos are somewhat confused so it's important to help them see the light and we will then send vibes around the world and pacify the region and thereby the world by establishment of a better way of doing things. The Second Coming no less. Gib and Marcos chant the anti-Jewish tirades [dressed up as anti-Zionism of course]. Chanting the catechism of Islamic Jihad won't improve the situation at all. I have been ethnically cleansed and it's quite likely that everyone has been down through the ages, in the same way that Palestinians have been and Jews have been from countries in Arabia and a lot of other places. In fact, for nearly everyone, it was their ancestors who were involved in the conflicts. The hazards in the area have been discounted into the price of gold, where TJ [who I used to read] said all truth can be found. Notice the price of gold lately? That price means big concerns about what the heck is happening not just on Wall Street but everywhere where things matter. Oil is still a big deal. Peace has not broken out in the Middle East despite some surging and more on the way. Iran is planning nuclear bomb explosions. Iran is Islamic Jihad. I'll come back soon and tidy the whole business up, so Gib and Marcos understand things a bit better and we can almost single-handedly get the price of gold back to business as usual happy cost of production in a world of peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun and love. Which will of course require CDMA/LTE/Wi-Fi and Globalstar suffusing the brains of the population with anodyne phragmented photons. Once they have a Google Nexus, or merely an iPhone or CLIQ with MOTOBLUR or the lowly Blackberry, things will be hunky dory across the lands. They'll wonder why they wanted to blow up other people; acting like chimps more than people. Heck, free cyberphones would do more for said peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun and love than all the military and other aid that floods the region. ElM, Huawei could string fibre around the place too. Reconstitute the UN to the NUN and make Palestine the first country in the federation. There isn't a government at present [not anything which can sensibly be called government]. Mqurice
