George invents victims of climate change in Bangladesh and Ethiopia.
Both countries have in fact boomed over the last two decades. 
Both countries have seen steady progress in what they were once unfortunately famous for.
I wonder where Monbiot gets his stats from.
He will call me a 'denier', of course...
But he blocked me, years ago, because I'm a 'denier', despite all these facts...
I would really, really like to know what he was talking about.
Because he doesn't seem to know what he's talking about.
He will tell you I am a 'science denier', and that I am a 'far right' fossil fuel corporate lobbyist, or something.
But I disagree with George because his claims *never* stack up. I think he is a fantasist.
He is forced to retreat into fantasy, because the world does not conform to his understanding, and he is too conceited to adjust his understanding.
Sorry if that's sounds harsh, but this is chart #10, and there's a pattern.

I think he sees the world changing and doesn't like it.
The world changing is what is typically called "business as usual". George thinks it's a terrible, terrible thing. I think that the past is prologue, and that it's a great thing.
George doesn't want to debate it.
George doesn't want to debate it.
Why? What would debate reveal? Why does he have to demonise people who disagree with him?
The facts just do not support anything he says. That's why people are living longer, healthier, wealthier safer lives.
George chose the victims of climate change he claims to champion. But I think his argument betrays his patronising, and if I may say so, somewhat racist view of the world.
Speaking of chauvinism...
Climate change just cannot do all the moral heavy lifting George wants it to do.
Why would he want to paint a picture of the world that was so out of kilter with the facts?
Now, imagine had it been not George telling a monstrous lie, but someone -- !!! SHOCK HORROR !!! -- linked to fossil fuels!!!
There would be countless complaints to @BBCPolitics that the guest on their show had not been challenged by the host.

@BBCPolitics There would be thousands of complaints to @Ofcom.
The @BBC Trust would be convened, to issue emergency statements on the disgusting science abuse.
The @DCMS would commission an inquiry.

@BBCPolitics @Ofcom @BBC @DCMS But because it is George Monbiot and it's borderline ecofascism and green bullshit, none of that seems to matter.
@BBCPolitics @Ofcom @BBC @DCMS So, yes, many, many datasets completely prove George is wrong... And this is the best part...
... whether or not climate change is happening.
I don't *care* if climate change is happening, becaise I can see that climate change has nothing whatsoever to do with human progress.

@BBCPolitics @Ofcom @BBC @DCMS This is the argument that *many* people make.
But George calls them *all* "climate change deniers", and the @BBC refuses to give them airtime.
This is a sickness.

@BBCPolitics @Ofcom @BBC @DCMS All of the charts above are the reason George says "we can't have airport expansion".
Do you think that's what the charts say?
If George had his way, you wouldn't even be free to go and check for yourself.

@BBCPolitics @Ofcom @BBC @DCMS But for now, you can go and take your Pounds, Dollars Euros and Yen on a plane, to spend them in far off places, where they need and want your custom.

@BBCPolitics @Ofcom @BBC @DCMS *They* want your money -- in a good way. Ultimately, everything between here and there will be a two-way street.
It's a future that fills George with horror.
He wants you stay put. No flights for you.
