@ret_ward Do climate sceptics demand observance, obedience?
Do climate sceptics divide people into believers and deniers?
Do climate sceptics hunt down, harass and censor disbelievers?
Do climate sceptics deny their ideas can be debated?
You're a very odd man, Bob Ward.
@ret_ward Do climate change sceptics ask for their critics to be locked up?
Do climate sceptics demand that democratic control of politics be suspended?
Do climate change sceptics warn that if their demands are not met, it will summon up Gaia's revenge, and end civilisation?
@ret_ward Do climate sceptics have billionaire ideological benefactors, who establish vanity project 'research' units at universities, that produce fraudulent claims for public funding?
Do climate sceptics hire sad little bald men to protect their ideologues from criticism in the media?
@ret_ward The answer to all the above, Bob, is no.
Can you say the same about climate change alarmism?
No.
@ret_ward So be very, very careful with that word 'cult', Bob.

And I don't think urging other countries to war at our expense is any definition of "standing with" worth defending.
Hundreds of thousands are now dead because of "standing with". Hundreds of thousands more are now fatherless, sonless, widowed...
You make a claim on behalf of "Britain" that you have never tested, and which your Prime Ministers could not even deliver for us.
Do you stand with people who are now scattered in bits across eastern Ukraine? How does one "stand with" people who lay beneath the ground? How does one express "solidarity" with young men snatched from the streets to be forced to the front line against their will?
Other people's wars make Toryboys feel all big and important about "global Britain". But their Ukrainian counterparts' children will never know their fathers. War is glorious when you don't have your comrade's guts blasted across your face. They've no idea what they "stand with".
Did you ever wonder how David Miliband, who oversaw the development of the Climate Change Act (and consequently Net Zero) landed a job worth a $million a year as a director of a charity?
Wonder no more...
Those are just *some* of the grants made by the government to the charity now directed by the former government minister.
He's worth every penny of that million bucks a year, as far as his extremely-well paid colleagues and appointers are concerned.
@CharlotteCGill @WokeWaste @procurementfile - if you haven't seen this tranche, it's worth taking a peek at. (On CF and DT).
They're like mini-milibands. They don't know how human language and communication work.
They are only able to invent stories about their political counterparts, to smear them. But they have no capacity for reason of their own.
I think the profound collapse of our democracy is understated. We are inured to it.
But here it is: a legislator claiming that another legislator is "pro-Russian" for his celebration of a newly democratically-appointed counterpart in an allied country.
BBC Media Action -- claims that "a free press is essential to freedom and democracy".
But when I revealed that @bbcmediaaction was working on behalf of dodgy billionaires and governments, to enforce particular political agendas they blocked me.
@bbcmediaaction Here is the thread that offended them...
I'd call Gill Tavner a liar, but she's mainly just ignorant.
Children were deliberately targeted by the green movement at large, and their anxieties were deliberately provoked precisely to make them adherents of green ideology.
Here's my video explaining Why There is No Climate Crisis (and why people believe that there is). If you've seen it before, move to the 17 minute mark.
There you will see the late Rajendra Pachauri talking about "sensitising the young" to climate alarmism.
You will also see extremely young children -- far younger than 12 -- regurgitating claims that were manifestly produced by the adults in their lives, including the green movement, not ideas they have produced by themselves. And those ideas are moreover false.
I don't think Dale Vince really understands how the green movement was conceived, founded, and pushed to the top of national and global political agendas.
