Full article: The fiddling with temperature data is the biggest science scandal ever

Yup, breathtaking that the very people who's wrong-headed ideas are responsible for one of our problems, want to use that problem to further their own agenda on another nutty one that's been dreamed up out of thin air! They have the temerity to call people who don't fall for all this deniers. But I suppose all religions have used that term to label people who need actual physical proof before they are prepared to change their established lifestyles. So, why should The Church of Anthropomorphic Climate Change be any different? Personally I'm still expecting the terminal skin cancer that we were all going to get from the hole in the ozone layer. It's still there apparently, and reportedly even larger than when we all had five years left to live. Better still, bring back the good old days when we could nod to the established fact that it was all that b* nuclear testing that was disrupting the climate. You could actually make an excellent living by predicting the next doom and disaster fad: get ahead of the market on the book, then the film of the book, then the world lecture tour, and you are set up for life! You only need to come up with something that's nebulous and can never be scientifically dis-proven, but woolly thinkers (like politicos) can be persuaded is a real threat to civilisation. There must be oodles of non-jobs in it, and lots of international travel and expense accounts. Principally there must be no clear solution, and the only things that could possibly be done should be so expensive that they exceed the entire world's GNP several times over. To get third world support you need to be able to point the finger of blame at those nations who've made the world a lot better place for everyone, and - of course - promise them lots of money you haven't got. No one genuinely expects that this mega-money will ever materialise, so that's OK. It really helps if in doing these things civilisation would be wound back a few hundred years (and likely the average human lifespan back to 25 years in process) - that one gets the Green vote every time!

Labour was shaken by Ukip at the General Election. You don't have to look hard to find senior Labour figures that will candidly admit this. But things have got a lot worse for Labour since - they get worse every week, and every time Corbyn and his communist cohorts open their mouths. This week's Little Red Book incident could have been scripted by the spin doctors at Tory Central Office; it certainly had the Parliamentary Labour Party wanting to crawl under their seats! Senior Labour figures are coming back from Oldham and reporting that huge numbers of their supporters are telling them that they are switching to Ukip because they won't vote for a Corbyn-led party. Ukip came very close to kicking out Labour in nearby solidly Labour Heywood, but things have now got to the stage that the previously unthinkable is indeed possible: loss of perhaps Labour's safest seat in the country! Certainly the Bookies think so and have now dramatically shortened their odds. But, whilst a Ukip win would be welcome to many, it's not all that appealing to senior planners at Ukip, who are playing to the long-term. Their focus is on the referendum - a referendum which any thinking person must admit was dragged out of Cameron in a moment of panic after seeing huge numbers of working-class Tory supporters defect. Corbyn is one of Ukip's best assets, and Labour would come to it's senses a lot earlier if the Parliamentary Labour Party had the ammunition to oust him. A Ukip win would put the nuclear option into their hands. So, Ukip is hoping for an illustration of the very possible, but not a show of the very probable, or the disaster scenario of an outright win! If you relish paradoxes this has to be one of the very best.

Ah, but the burning question there is still "Where Have All the Nazis Gone?" I think the best person to ask about this might be Herr Jean-Claude Juncker - our EU president, who has just said he won't let us leave the EU! Could it be that the price of a few of Duplicitous Dave's pretend EU reforms is a nod and a wink that Juncker will finally be granted the EU Army he's been pushing for? As they say in Germany: if you can't beat them take them over. Or is it Vorsprung durch Technik - I really can't remember! Then again, maybe they both mean just about the same to 21st century Nazis!

Nope, I'm trying to tell you that we have enough problems of our own without importing an entirely new set of problems which we (with a few apparent exceptions, like you) are utterly clueless about. If your are living there and allowing your children to be radicalised by ignorant and evil old men posing as sages; trying to create a parallel justice system to the native one; are passive whilst other Brits commit atrocities elsewhere in the World; are attempting to out-breed the local population with the covert intent of taking over one day; believe that your religion is the only one that has any right to exist, etc. - then you should pack your bags and return to primitive old Blighty without any delay, and not wait for them to send you back. Sweden is for ordinary Swedes, and any change should be in tiny increments, not imposed by "infidels" and/or as part of the agenda of an elite class - an over-class who have comprehensively insulated themselves from the direct consequences of their own actions. And, a class who tag anyone who says hold on lets rethink this one as flavour-of-the-month-phobic! Those people are never around when the direct consequences of their pet theories become evident to all us Beano readers.

Hmm... let's say that one morning we all wake to find the media saturated with the news that 1000 alien spaceship are orbiting the Earth. During the night several warlike incidents have occurred and many humans have been killed. Then, one such craft lands on the Town Moor and the occupants tell us that we have nothing to fear - yes, they are all from planet Zog, and they all have a common belief system, but only 10% of the spacecraft are occupied by aliens who mean us harm and the rest are peace loving refugees from a planet that has been made uninhabitable by their mutual warring. They decline to adopt our way of life, and intend to proceed in the same belief system which culminated in the desertion of their own planet, but we should be happy about this multicultural experience. I suspect that the unified reply of the human race would be to take your problems away and sort them out yourselves, because they are not our problems. When we sort our own problems we'll call you to see if you've sorted yours, but meanwhile stay the *&(*&(* away from us or we'll nuke any alien craft on sight. I also suspect we'd have a tiny minority of Zoginistas who tell us we were all wrong and that we must discount the mounting carnage and consider the "obvious economic benefits" of harbouring aliens. We should volunteer those people to go on our own space mission to colonise other worlds - because the group will likely contain all those interplanetary-experienced humans who've been abducted by aliens in the past!

Excuse me but that sentence referred to the ideology, and that was clear from my post too. Like many people I do believe that there's an underlying acceptance on behalf of very many Muslims of extremism. It's simply not enough to say that the extremists are wrong, or that they are misinterpreting their scriptures. The Quran is directly opposed to all decent modern standards of behaviour. If you take this text as your law - as Sharia courts do - then you are following a barbarous ideology that has no place in the modern world. If you study that link you will find that comparisons with Christianity are entirely spurious. No Christian work advocates an intolerance of other beliefs, there's no Christian word for killing unbelievers, and no Christian cleric would miss any opportunity of condemning violence, especially violence in the very name of Christianity. The position of many in this country is tantamount to saying it's OK to take in immigrants from an area infected by Ebola as just a few of them have it in an infectious form! There's now a very significant number of people in our country who believe that Islam and Sharia law must be imposed on everyone, and that there's a divine inevitability in this. To pretend otherwise, and to pretend that other far less extreme Muslims won't go along with this when the call comes is extreme folly. The Muslim community must come out and condemn the extremists in a way that it has utterly failed to do up until now, else the outlook for our country is bleak. We can all see the demographic time bomb ticking away, and no one more so than the extremists.

It's not about some individuals doing/saying the right thing, or indeed "simple arithmetic", it's about a religion that is full of hate, advocates violence, and is absolutely intolerant of ALL other religions. This is a core issue, and why the religious leaders themselves don't speak out. http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/023-violence.htm If this really was a religion like other religions all these calls to violence would be excised, but they are not, and that simple fact is telling! That we even tolerate a parallel legal system to our own country is crazy. We send the barbarians all the wrong messages then wonder why they treat western civilisation with contempt. Put simply: You can't fight extreme intolerance with tolerance, at some point you have to stand up to it and say enough! Just about all senior politicians have now admitted that multiculturalism doesn't work - yes, even Mrs Merkel. But, they are singularly clueless about how to reverse the folly. Mrs Merkel's answer to just about every problem on the planet is that everyone must behave like a good German - somehow I don't think that Islam sees things her way!

I'm not sure that is entirely true. Terrorists and new recruits seem to be popping back and forth over the EU's borders like fully paid up tourists. This isn't surprising when Mrs Merkel has private contractors trying to stem the flow. They ask where are you from and why do you want entry to the EU; the expected answers being from Syria, and I'm a refugee! And, that seems to be it! Reportedly (by the BBC no less) the contracted interrogators only speak text book languages, and don't recognise or understand regional accents. As for needing our help... well... 80% aren't even from Syria, or other zones of unrest, and the only Syrian "refugee" I saw being asked was disarmingly honest. He said, no my family isn't under threat, it's simply that life has become miserable and we don't see it improving any time soon. The real question is how many refugees the oil-rich Arab countries taking, and it seems the answer to that is zero! You don't have to use much imagination to predict their justification: we refuse to import any more terrorism than we already have! BTW the petition doesn't say refugees, it says immigration. Exactly how those two entirely distinct concepts have come to be so comprehensively conflated is one of those wonders of bleeding-heart liberal left doublethink! The German national guilt complex undoubtedly plays a large role in this conflation.

Could it be that "our" Wolfgang isn't actually talking about Europe's steel industry but has in mind non-German steel capacity? After all Germany is still building new dirty-coal power stations like there's going to be a real use for that cheaper electricity. This side of the North Sea our Ed Wind-mil-iband has ensured that out electricity costs have about doubled, so we are the natural candidate to take the economic pain. But, then, isn't this what EU solidarity is all about brother? I mean Germany gets to burn all the solid, and our own politicos and trades unionists obligingly talk all the hot air-ity!

How do you and Len square that with your support for the job-destroying, depress-wages, EU Tony?

...and the revolution is not just in military aviation. Disruptive technology like we've never seen the likes of over the next few decades and starting much sooner than most people think. Many millions of workers will be displaced in the UK alone, and often from jobs which have been considered safe from 'dumb' automation. It will hit the second and third world harder than most, because the ready availability of really low cost labour will no longer get you out of economic trouble. But, if you think that following a profession will isolate you from this, then think again; I've heard academic opinion that the legal profession is set for a huge shake out, as the majority of what they do can be far better addressed by expert systems at vastly lower cost. I can't say I find that particular one an appalling vista. Consider that we could all be visiting the supermarket for free and disinterested legal advice - from all the shelf stackers with legal degrees!

Yeah, why didn't we send in the Army to arrest him, kill a few of our lads, slaughter a few thousand innocent civilians, and rack up another billion we haven't got in military expenditure? If it were to help Mr Corbyn in his ongoing internal battle with his conscience it would surely have been worth it! I think the real problem with loony lefties like Jeremy is that they refuse to acknowledge that other people suffer similar conflicts and counter-feelings but resolve them logically as best they can, and without involving the rest of the world in their dilemmas. LLs are the only people that have ideals, and everyone who just gets on with things as best they can are morally inferior - often evil! Well... carry on indulging yourself JC, because the mass of the electorate doesn't have the time for such luxury (or you!).

"It" being the genuine concern of native Brits (including assimilated ones) that they are rapidly becoming strangers in their own country? How many immigrants are you accommodating Sym? If the answer is none then you don't need to go to Calais to collect a car load; just pop down to Longford near Heathrow, and fill your car to help out the besieged villagers. We'll then have an appeal on here to help you feed them.

Difficult to see how our power crisis and creeping islamisation can coexist in the same thread, except that it's the same traitorous political elites that have created the problem. Maybe you should have offered that we should only permit more hideous out of character mosques on our landscape if the islamists construct a slightly more in-character power plant in the back lot? They could hardly object as a fair part of our power crisis is directly attributable to uncontrolled mass immigration and the Muslim birth rate! Oops - the snag here is that if it gets round to "burn-the-infidels" time (you'll probably say when), there'll be the means readily at hand! http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/023-violence.htm

It's easy, just buy a dirty 3MW diesel generator and join the club. You'll then be able to hold the public to ransom for up to £2,500 per MW/h (normal rate for electricity circa £60 per MW/h). Yes, that's the top price the National grid was paying last Wednesday when the wind stopped blowing. This bonanza is set to get even more lucrative as our population booms, and our coal fired capacity is chopped even further. How did we get to this lunatic state of affairs? Well idiot Ed (Miliband) had a mega hand in it, and the Cameron's dithering PC Tory party have walked right in to it (for a long time ably assisted by the loony LDs). But it's OK, relief is at hand - the Chinese are going to build us a nuclear plant providing we contract to pay extortionate prices for the rest of our lives (and the lives of our children). Never mind that this will handicap what's left of our industry and destroy traditional jobs (sorry about our former steel industry chaps, we'll get over it, somehow!), because we can also rely on the Chinese to send us all the things we need at insanely low prices. How can the Chinese do this (produce things we invented far cheaper than we can)? Simples: they have cheap energy. They are building coal-fired power stations and putting them on line at a mind boggling rate. At least that's what we understood until the other day, but somehow they forgot to tell us that they're now burning 17% more coal than our "climate change scientists" factored into their dreams. That's more than the entire burn of Germany, and makes the CO2 emission calculations an utter joke. Germany is burning more dirty coal than ever too, because their nutty Green lobby has decreed the shutting down of good, well engineered, and safe nuclear plants. Now add into this farce the simple fact that all this self-immolation is based of pseudo-science which is demonstrably false, and you've built a scenario that is going into the history books and will echo down the ages as the biggest delusion that otherwise sane people ever indulged in. Flat-Earthers, Earth-at-the-centre-of-the-Universers, Ground Nuts, Tulipmania... naah, those were just warm-up acts! Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions by Charles Mackay should be compulsory reading for all politicos.

EU's a criminal failure says Nick Ferrari I'm not going to repeat the details of this horrific incident, and have nothing to add to Nick Ferrari's conclusion (below). Although my own disgust extends to the whole cohort of Cameron's yes men, who for their own advancement are prepared to engage in his cynical and calculated campaign of fear, uncertainty and doubt. Nothing new in that of course, and - though not a religious person - Genesis 25:29 seems to have it about covered!

GLOBAL COOLING: Decade long ice age predicted as sun 'hibernates' Why should we be inclined to believe this group of scientists rather than the ruling "warmist lobby"? Well, for a start, they are unlikely to be funded by the central heating and double glazing industries, and they aren't screaming imminent doom and disaster, or pushing for international jollies in exotic climbs (just yet). It's also par for the course to discover our politicos have all along been doing precisely the wrong thing, and throwing away vast sums of British tax payers money on crazy "ground nut" schemes. I'm looking at you Ed Miliband! Which political party will be the first to have the courage to advocate repealing the insane and completely unaffordable Climate Change Act 2008? Does the Thames outside their windows have to freeze over before they will admit to being victims of mass delusion?

A news story that won't be on the PCBBC any time soon: NASA reveals that Antarctica is actually gaining more ice than it is losing So, the man with the means to see the whole picture confirms (if more confirmation were really necessary) that the Antarctic is net putting on ice not losing it! That would make those evil, incredibly stupid, "climate change deniers" right all along. How damn inconvenient if you've built a career (or a political party) on selling pseudo-science to the gullible! Of course absolutely no one denies that climate changes, that's what climate has always done. But, our elites are in a position to control the language, so it's relatively easy for them to substitute climate change for global warming and conveniently drop the word anthropomorphic in process (after all what would the plebs make of such a big word?). Enough people really really want the "climate change" pseudo science to be a reality, so, rather than admit to real scientific evidence, the mantra will continue morphing into another insanely costly attempt to control some other uncontrollable. The bleedingly obvious anthropomorphic factors in the environment (like the horrendous plastic pollution) we can do something about, without vast effort or expense, will continue to be ignored. When I see a group of Greens picking plastic out of hedgerows or off the beaches I will consider voting for them.
