Endless UK brass 'greenhouse gasses' paid for by taxpayers, Gordon Brown spent millions on CO2 credits, though London Mayor is seeing the light

"The point is, of course, that even the born-again climate sceptic (London Mayor) Boris Johnson has been able to leaven his enthusiasm for warming with a bit of timely populism. Even last February Boris was writing this garbage:

Our climate is changing, with London already experiencing warmer, wetter winters, hotter, drier summers and higher incidences of more extreme weather. To preserve and enhance our quality of life and maintain our status as a leading global city, we must adapt to manage these climatic shifts, which will result in increasing risk of floods, drought and heat waves. Climate change is no distant threat ...

• Gordon Brown was buying £60,000,000-worth of "carbon credits" for Whitehall and other government offices in the UK,

• as well as British Nato bases in Europe.

Then I wrote that, while the rest of the country shivers in the cold, with householders wondering whether they can afford their mounting heating bills – inflated by hidden "carbon taxes" to pay for the carbon emissions produced - bureaucrats in their centrally-heated government offices

• can keep producing "greenhouse gasses", their emissions

• paid-for by British taxpayers."...
