Bottom line, the vast preponderance of the world's scientists once thought the earth was flat. Galileo spent his final years under house arrest because he dared to suggest the Sun was was the center of our solar system.

Bottom line, the vast preponderance of the best atmospheric scientists are quite sure AGW is happening and of huge concern. Who cares? How does that affect a citizen governed by the Constitution of the United States of America? Should people start throwing themselves off cliffs? A good deal of academia believes it would be a mistake dabbling in changing the climate even if the climate is changing. The best thing your huge preponderance can do is throw themselves off cliffs. Either way have another hit of your bong and try and get some sleep. "Don't just do something: stand there!" Ronald Reagan was fond of telling overactive functionaries. The same rules apply to the climate change industry: trillions of dollars squandered, vast forces mobilised, public anxieties worked up to fever pitch – all to no useful purpose whatsoever. That's why – belatedly: there really isn't much time left – I'm urging you to support this hugely worthwhile new film project being organised by Lord Monckton. The aim of the 50 to 1 project is to raise enough money to collate a series of interviews with the likes of Jo Nova, Anthony Watts, David Evans, Fred Singer and Vaclav Klaus, which will then be edited into a short, punchy film. It will demonstrate that no matter where you stand on the "science" of climate change the measures currently being used to deal with the "problem" are hugely expensive and counterproductive. Even if the IPCC is right, and even if climate change IS happening and it IS caused by man, we are STILL better off adapting to it as it happens than we are trying to 'stop' it. 'Action' is 50 times more expensive than 'adaptation', and that's a conclusion which is derived directly from the IPCC's own predictions and formulae! There's so much rubbish out there on the internet produced by lavishly funded Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and WWF activists, junk scientists, rent-seeking corporatists and EU- and UN-funded environmental bodies. Time we hit back with the thing these eco-loons hate most: cold hard facts. blogs.telegraph.co.uk
