Envoy repeats carbon tax propaganda
The German ambassador to Thailand sounded quite paranoid about our planet overheating in his opinion piece in The Nation on Thursday.
Yes, the Arctic ice does some melting in summer, but Arctic ice has started to freeze earlier this year than its record early freeze of 2007. With Ulan Bator at nearly minus 20 degrees, and Winnipeg at minus 14, the UK and parts of China under frost and snow, the Arctic is happily freezing, defying his predictions. It’s not hot in the Antarctic either, with its largest ice coverage in memory.
Climate Gate 2 has just unfolded, with thousands of published emails showing that the global warming predictions were on very shaky ground.
Surely then, Mr Ambassador, you must simply have repeated the propaganda of those with a vested interest in carbon taxes.
