UKIP depresses, dress impresses
Posted on February 26th, 2010 6 commentsIt has been announced that previously single issue anti-EU party UKIP, the United Kingdom Independence Party is developing its environmental policy. At the heart of their new policy is hard-line climate change denial. The headline policy is the proposal to BAN Al Gore’s climate change film ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ in British schools. Also, and really this is absolutely true, they have made a pledge to build new coal-fired power stations and axe funding for wind farms. The Telegraph writes that they are seeking to capitalise on what it calls “widespread” scepticism. Only one in five people in a survey of 1000 said that they believed in mane-made climate change.
Climate change is a matter of science, not belief. I can believe that pi is exactly 3 that doesn’t make it so. No, science is about what you can measure, and no the fashion world has had a blow struck for empirical fact. Danish design company Diffus has designed a very special dress. Unlike other dresses this one contains tiny electronic circuits that detect CO2. All it needs to go with it is some high tech lingerie that can detect right wing nonsense.

So CO2 being a pollutant is science?
UKIP has both Labour and Conservatives members. Their common ground? Fighting political nonsense. Co2 taxes being one of them as well as the biggest scam!

Hi I am Valentine Smith UKIP Prospective Parliamentary candidate for Herefordshire South.
We actually believe that the future of the Earth and the environment are too important to be left solely to those that are too partisan. We haven’t been a single issue party for a long time, but of course it sometimes suits those who are opposed to our viewpoint to claim that we are.
Our stance on the environment is simply that scientists as with most professionals are too often swayed by their paymasters, their own political beliefs, and other outside interests and pressures, for any individual or group of people to be given an appellation of ‘being right’ This is why we are concerned about Al Gore’s film, (which most in UKIP think is excellent by the way) being shown in schools as representing hard facts. If it is shown as containing opinon that many believe in and does show some unassailable facts, then fine, but we suspect that our government will put a gloss of credit on it that it doesn’t deserve.
We are all waiting for the ideal clean, green method of creating power and we are pressurising for our goverment and the EU and elsewhere to increase funding to achieve this, because the world needs it. So it is therefore with a slightly heavy heart that we support modern clean coalfired power stations and as an interim, nuclear power.
We approve of tidal and other water based power creation schemes, but currently are very much against wind farms. If you took away the grants and subsidies, that come as part of the wind farm package, then we believe that most of the firms involved (some of which are very suspect from a green point of view)would simply not wish to take part as their motive is purely money not the environment. In the UK also there are little or no safeguards on rebuild and decommissioning, leaving the specter of thousands of redundant towers in less than twenty years time.
Our stance on the environment is tough,it supports an increasing need for some sort of population control, a restriction on unfettered economic migration and a balanced view on what the scientific community is telling us. It’s too important to be left to the old Left Right paradigm and as the comment about ‘right wing nonsense’ in your last sentence shows, you may support science, but you are subject to your own, some would say biased opinion, that might just cloud your judgement.

piss off with this notion that agw sceptics are all right wing fruitloops.You aren’t using science – its junk science,opinion and propaganda.
Have we been heating up mars too? Venus?Jupiter?Have our light bulbs been responsible for the weirdest sunspot activity since records began?The planets going to be fine.Its humans that are in trouble.Frankly theres too many of us so the more people die,the better for the rest of us and the planet.
These idiotic proposals from you stupid tree-hugging 60s throwbacks will do nothing but take even more money off us peasants and give it to the real polluters-the big businesses who have always had the money and political clout to to buy off the regulators.
Every time one of your nagging adverts comes on and harasses me with your propaganda,I turn up the sound,turn on all my lights,open the fridge door,put the kettle on,plug in my electric guitar while it boils,shove a pop tart in the microwave and flush the bog.I don’t drive a car anymore because you righteous assholes have made it a joyless expensive experience.If I did own one,I’d start the engine and leave it idling until the adbreak was over.
I’ve got enough old fashioned light bulbs stashed away to last me the rest of my life – as have lots of my peers.100 watters – dirt cheap ones too at bargain prices.They’re fantastic.Shove your dismal mercury abominations up your mungbean hole.
the ukip woman is right about wind farms.They are bullshit.Thye are killing hundreds of your precious birds for starters.David Bellamy can give you a better quote on that,if you lying propagandists would only listen to him.
We don’t believe you hippies anymore.The email scandal exposed your methods.I was already familiar with the method though – its the same process of lies and intimidation you used on us smokers.You’ve made me an outcast in my own country.Actually – I’m an outcast in virtually every country on the planet.I’m not part of your rotten righteous society anymore,so why should I try to help achieve your goals?I cut up my blood and organ donor cards and sent them back to the NHS last week.Thats the same NHS who will refuse me treatment because I smoke,despite me paying in more money than you health nazis through my tobacco tax.
Think about the thousands of perfectly good cars that have been crushed through these idiotic scrappage schemes.Think about the wasted energy and materials that go into a new car that didn’t even need to be built for at least another 5 years.
Al Gore is an idiot.You’re all idiots.Concentrate on something that should be worrying you morons more than CO2.Depleted Uranium.Go on.I dare you to confront the Pentagon with the same bullshit ’science’.See how far you get.Me,I don’t give a flying fuck about AGW.I hope you all die. -

actually it is not that hard to setup wind farms, the only problem is that it requires lots of capital investment.’,,
