Petition to stop global warming propaganda to frighten our children

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Stop wasting taxpayer's money on climate change propaganda designed to frighten our children.

If your a UK citizen then go here to sign.

Update I should of course have made it clear that this has been driven by Steve Green over at the Daily Referendum who deserves the credit.

When it's cold I say "Booo! Global Cooling!" and when it's warm I say "Hooray! Global Warming!" and they join in most merrily.

They know that it just means "weather". If you're actually afraid of "weather" your life probably isn't worth living.; 4:59 pm
Anonymous said...: D'oh = of course it doesn't frighten children but the lying bastards of this climate change religion started it. Meanwhile the unwashed morons are in Nottinghamshire trying to close more power stations, and they'll blame the rest of us when they're freezing their miserbale arses off in 5 years time.; 9:25 pm
Man in a Shed said...: I think you'd be surprised how stressed young kids get about pollution, global warming etc.

I heard my son whisper "I must save the planet" whilst watching a kids TV show.

The learn about pollution before they learn about the water cycle at school.

Global warming - before they get the basis of science.

And they are told its their responsibility....; 8:55 am

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.

Inflation is taxation without legislation .. Milton Friedman
