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 Stewardship Project (NRSP.com), Former Professor 
Of Climatology, University of Winnipeg"

And once again you are caught lying.  Timothy Ball isn't a former  professor
of climatology, and the University of Winnipeg has no climatology  program.
Ball is a former geography teacher with no training in climatology who
couldn't make it as a university professor (pubishing a total of 4 papers in
his entire career),  who then cashed in by jumping on the big oil Gravy
train.
You should ask Ball about the little incident concerning the
Misappropriattion of University Resources at the University of Calgary by
his propaganda group - Friends of Science.."
