Its the cold, not global warming, that we should be worried about
No one seems upset that in modern Britain, old people are freezing to death as hidden taxes make fuel more expensive..
Last winter was relatively mild, and still 24,000 perished. The indications are that this winter, which has dragged on so long and with such brutality, will claim 30,000 lives, making it one of the biggest killers in the country. And still, no one seems upset.
The average annual fuel bill is expected to have risen by £76 ($126.16) by 2020, it says. But take out Daveys hidden taxes (carbon price floor, emissions trading scheme, etc) and wed be paying an average £123 ($204.18) less. His department has been trying to make homes cheaper to heat, and in a saner world this would be his only remit: to secure not the greenest energy, but the most affordable energy.
Its daft to draw any conclusions from this freakish, frozen spring. But in general, the computer-generated predictions do not seem as reliable as they did when Al Gore was using them to scare the bejesus out of us.
The reaction to the 2003 heatwave was extraordinary. It was blamed for 2,000 deaths, and taken as a warning that Britain was horribly unprepared for the coming era of snowless winters and barbecue summers.
YET..
Since Sir Davids 2003 exhortations, some 250,000 Brits have died from the cold, and 10,000 from the heat. It is horribly clear that we have been focusing on the wrong enemy.
Instead of making sure energy was affordable, ministers have been trying to make it more expensive, with carbon price floors and emissions trading schemes.
It?s the cold, not global warming, that we should be worried about - Telegraph
So it appears once again liberals/global warming evangelists have it all wrong!
Pricing fuel using carbon taxes raising what cold people have to pay and so they die!
