UKIP: snowfall = climate change unlikely, party on!
Numpties

http://www.liberalconspiracy.org/2009/12/18/ukip-snowfall-climate-change-unlikely-lets-party/

The UK Independence Party is hosting a ‘Climate Change Beach Party’, implying that the snow-fall means climate change isn’t happening.

The event page on Facebook states:

If you are in Norwich today then come along to the UKIP Climate Change Beach Barbecue outside the University of East Anglia’s Climate Change Unit.

A celebration of deep, crisp and even snow, at a time when the Global Warming Lobby would have us believe the days of cold winter weather were over.

Eastern Counties MEP Stuart Agnew has his tractors on standby if the snow makes conditions impassable.


The Global Warming Lobby, of which we are clearly part of, is quivering with fear.

1. A reminder that there are many reasons to reject UKIP
even if you're not keen on the European Union.

2. +1000
They have been more-or-less taken over by disaffected RW Tories. The only good thing about them is that at times they have helped to defeat real Tories by splitting the vote.

3. They also act
as an altenative to the BNP - which is good.

4. Haven't UKIP always been disaffected RW Tories?
I don't think thay've ever been all that progressive.

And sadly, climate change denailism seems to be all the fashion with right wingers at the moment.

5. Obviously they haven't looked at what some of the actual scientists say, which is
that global warming may disrupt the Gulf Stream and make Europe COLDER.

If that's the case, then the snow actually confirms global warming. :evilgrin:
