I love you Bob.

You've just made my day.

That last quote makes him look all the more idiotic:

> ...creating a carbon footprint the size of a mammoth's.

A mammoth would have a carbon footprint of exactly zero.

What is a mammoth's carbon footprint, anyway? You don't see them taking many intercontinental flights or driving Hummers, do you?

There is no holding this man back:

"You couldn't make it up"

I'll answer his questions if he can assure me that his scientific qualifications are at least the equivalent of those of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the World Meteorological Organisation, the Royal Society, and the United States (always a bit dodgy I grant you) National Academy of Sciences.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. How does it feel, 'Comrade' when you discover your ideals have feet of clay?

The less gullible among us could see it coming a mile away.

You bought a pup with 'Communism'.

You bought a pup with Global Warming I mean Climate Change.

What's the next 'belief system' you're going to fall for? I need a good laugh.

And where exactly doyou straddle on this subject, Councillor? Just curious.

David, I don't really. Almost all scientists appear to support the argument about global warming (with the exception of the eminent Professor ker above) but there is some dispute about the issues around man-made climate change. However, the post wasn't about climate change, (although that passed the twerp ker by - but most things do) but about Dale's hypocrisy in slagging off others whilst sanctimoniously trying to position himself as the honest broker.

Of course, the poor sod still holds out hopes of a cushy Tory seat and he doesn't want to upset 'Dave' so he has to play the bland middle-of-the-road Tory idiot to try to appeal to both sides. Pathetic really.

Almost all scientists - snigger - just not quite as 'almost all' as two weeks ago eh.

UEA Climate Research - bought and paid for.

Anyway BSkyBob, I wouldn't 'diss' Dale if I were you, after all, 95% of your *ahem* 500-800 daily visitors are clickthrus from his site.

500-800 visitors and 3 comments on average per post. Quiet lot ain't they.

wayne, stop making a prat of yourself. Even your chemistry teacher at school will explain to you that the UEA controversy was over 'man-made' climate change. Ask him tomorrow. Only your sort of idiots, in the full spirit of holocaust deniers, maintain that the earth's temperature isn't actually rising at all.

And actually, out of the 473 visitors so far today, 32 have come via Iain Dale's site... so your maths is worse than your science. You'll get no exams at all at your current rate. Time to stop fiddling with yourself and start concentrating on your studies you stupid boy.

Dale is such a tosspot.I do wish more people would read the fool's blog, particulary people who invite him on radio shows as some sort of "blogging guru".

I love the idea that climate scientists are somehow bought off or only saying what they do to get funding.

If there was no global warming I'm sure governments would have absolutely no interest in funding research or modeling into the climate. I mean without concocting an insane conspiracy it is absolutely impossible to think of any other reason why we might like to monitor our climate and find out how it works.

With apologies to the late, great Winston Churchill,
It can be said about the "climate change" pitch:
Never has so much been made over so little by so many
(Including Al Gore) who, in the process, have gotten rich.

But we must give credit where credit is due:
Folks in politics, knowing nothing about climate at all--
Have done their dead level best
The process of reason to stall

While giving full vent to positions
That envision dire consequences from burning derivatives of oil;
Something, e.g., that a Nobel-level economist has equated
With a desire to see the planet parboiled.

Unfortunately all those enumerated above
Appear to be immune to rational discourse--
Even so-called scientists of the pro-climate change persuasion
Destroy the data on which they've based their conclusions, perforce.

By and large, overall, on the whole,
It would seem such "scientists" may have found a new calling
As keepers of the faith that espouses belief
In the proposition that the sky is falling.

Bob

You missed your calling - you should have gone in for investigative journalism, this is wonderful
