Global Warming: Sammy Wilson And The ‘Hysterical Pseudo-Religion’
SAYS Northern Ireland’s environment minister, Sammy Wilson: Green activists’ views on climate change are a “hysterical pseudo-religion.”
Yeah. Northern Ireland has an environment minister. Who knew?
“The tactic used by the “green gang” is to label anyone who dares disagree with their view of climate change as some kind of nutcase who denies scientific fact. Reasoned debate must replace the scaremongering of the green climate alarmists.”
He says “bravo“.
John Woods of Friends of the Earth said Mr Wilson was “like a cigarette salesman denying that smoking causes cancer”.
And:
Wilson’s comments are not supported by the most recent findings. For example, Jonathan Cowie’s Climate Change: Biological and Human Impacts (2007), concludes that increased major floods could well happen in the summer despite European summers becoming drier. Seemingly paradoxically, computer models predict an increase in intense summer rainfall with global warming.
A Nothern Ireland story about the climate. How times change…

The original article has gone. Poof.
The BBC still have their “exasperated” take on line but the originating newsletter.co.uk one is history.

He’s right - it is a pseudo-religion. The point of most religions is to transcend death and if you listen to the environmental rhetoric what you find is a belief that if we do everything the way nature intended (like obeying the Lord) we (and the planet) will live forever.
But hopefully this new religion will kill less of us than Marxism and Fascism did - unless they gulag us for dropping litter.

Well, bravo to Mr. Watson - I wish more environment ministers had the courage to say what is real and get on with protecting the environment on things that we actually CAN influence.
