Campaign On Climate Change

[mattviatura]

Bloke on BBC Breakfast this morning from the above organisation. Almost as good an acronym as Tony Blair's The War Against Terrorism.

I just seen that, too - I don't honestly recognise ANY of these third rate 'Ministers for whatever' anymore! Liked Sian whatshername ask him if he should be doing more to stop people flying, to 'force' us to cut our carbon footprints! WTF!

I shouldn't really watch BBC, not good for my health!

[Guybrush]

The BBC doesn't get any better, it gets worse. How much more do we have to hear the words "climate change", "eco" etc etc on a daily friggin basis. Just look at the amount of airtime they give to these minority crazed leftish groups, I expect this "campaign on climate change" lot are funded by the government. The BBC is nothing more than a labour government control freak mouthpiece, the chances of eventually not being forced to pay the licence fee I should think are about zero.

I no longer watch BBC Breakfast nor BBC news - it's simply not worth it to have to put up with this eco-s***e.

Don't forget 'green shoots'... we love those green shoots the BBC seems to tell us about all the time! (Grrrrrr Robert Peston)

That Peston is a Labourite (really). No surprise he's employed by the BBC then.

I think his proper group name is Campaign against Climate Change. "sorry". Still works though

Him and his ilk are still all fannies

He was introduced as being from the Campaign On Climate Change and that's what was shown on the screen. Unfortunately I think you're right though.

So where is this famous impartiality I hear about? The BBC isn't impartial any more, it's merely a left wing/green mouthpiece

It's because of the special way the BBC is funded...

Reading between the lines I'd say they were making a pretty clear argument against the targets, ie, unless you're completely stupid you'll see they are unachievable. Short of asking the entire human race to pop a cyanide pill it is anyway.

Am I alone in resenting all this crap? am I alone in feeling I'm being made to feel guilty for existing? Our visit as a race on Earth is but a millisecond in time and we should enjoy it as best we can, turn up, have fun, take your litter home after you, don't leave any crap for anyone else to clear up and fk off again. Surely that's all that's required, not try to change the evolution of the planet. Sure we have an impact but so does everything else, species come and go so will we so why is it now fashionable to think we are different from everything else and will live forever?

I had to chuckle yesterday..one of the Millibrands was on the radio telling us how the next climate conference will fail unless we get all the EU, China and India etc "on messasge" he then said that his brother would be making trips to all the countries involved to ensure that the conference was a success...how very green of him...Do as we say,not as we do springs to mind...

Great example of 'ratcheting' - the forthcoming Copenhagen summit needs as much panic as possible.

Be a laugh when we get a cold winter!

I wouldn't trust that little prick to arrange my bin collection far less tell me how to save a completely indifferent planet, who the fk does he think he is FFS, Superman?

And that right there (along with the ability to frighten / control / tax the population) is why politicians are so keen to keep their arses on the CO2 bandwagon.

Keep the developing nations down, or they will become the next superpowers.

I think they're pretty much too late anyway, but they're not giving up yet.

Some idiot on the radio this morning demanding that all domestic flights be banned.."nobody needs to fly!". Well not if you're a slimey, benefit claiming facist!

It's probably the same bloke who said he wouldn't rest until all C02 was removed from the atmosphere (using typical green science!!!!)

Dear God what happened to science, does the demented fool not realise that without CO2 he would be a skeleton on a lifeless rock......... a link please, I need to throw verbal rocks at this moron

Save a few for the W Mids politico who wanted to set an example by making the carbon dioxide level over Walsall or Wolverhampton (or wherever) lower than the rest of the country to set an example.

Yes there are minor local variations but the comment would be taken far too generously if that were the explanation. It was genuinely very stupid. This superhero really thought he could influence atmospheric levels of tax gas from the Town Hall virtually by proclamation and exhortation alone - and permanently. Amazing stuff, but the delusional left never ceases to amaze.

The C02 comment was made by a 'Plane Stupid' representative (I've also seen him on tv representing other extremist groups, masquerading as 'peoples saviours') on the BBC Breakfast show a month or so ago.
