Nigel Lawson on red greens .
Those who wish to order us how to run our lives, faced with the
uncomfortable evidence that economic prosperity is more likely to be
achieved by less government intervention rather than more, naturally
welcome the emergence of a new licence to intrude, to interfere, to tax
and to regulate: all in the great cause of saving the planet from the
alleged horrors of global warming ...
People still feel the need for the comfort and higher values that
religion can provide; and it is the quasi-religion of green alarmism, of
which the global warming issue is the most striking example, which has
filled the vacuum, with reasoned questioning of its mantras regarded as
little short of sacrilege.

"Attributing global climate change to human CO2 production is akin to
trying to diagnose an automotive problem by ignoring the engine
(analogous to the Sun in the climate system) and the transmission (water
vapour) and instead focusing entirely, not on one nut on a rear wheel,
which would be analogous to total CO2, but on one thread on that nut,
which represents the human contribution." Dr. Timothy Ball, Chairman of
the Natural Resources Steward****p Project (NRSP.com), Former Professor
Of Climatology, University of Winnipeg
