Open your eyes to climate change

CHOPWELL’S very own oracle, Jack Fletcher, reminds us of the old adage “There are none so blind as those who will not see”,

(Feedback, November 21) and I agree. I think it is high time he opened his eyes.

It is strange that he uses the evidence of hurricanes because the leading scientist in that particular field of science, was, until his recent death, William M Gray (no relation).

Mr Gray was an independent scientist, in that he didn’t rely on grants from the UN, through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

He stated that his research concluded that the number, strength and length of season for hurricanes remained within the usual parameters. In other words there was no increase in hurricanes beyond the norm.

The UN gets its funding from individual member states, who raise that money in taxes. In this country and in others that

money is raised from so-called green taxes supposedly used to combat climate change.

The more the UN make claims about the apocalyptical result of climate change, the more governments can raise in green taxes resulting in more money for the UN, which then results in more apocalyptical scare-mongering and so on.

Each pronouncement is more scary than the last.

In the past, I’ve ridiculed the claims of 10m, 20m, 50m, and 100m sea rises, and recently they were announcing 70m sea rises in the near future.

So what is the current scary level of the sea rise?

Just 3mm, and they can’t even prove that.

I wonder if Jack Fletcher can tell us, if this is all man-made, how many factories, 4x4s and other man-created pollutants were around at the end of the last great ice age, when the world warmed?

Perhaps he can tell us what make of car those cavemen were driving?

There is another adage he be interested in knowing about: “A fool and his money are soon parted” and the governments are having us for fools.

You know what they say, you can fool all of the people some of the time and ‘Warmists’ all of the time – those Chicken Lickens will believe anything.
