Signed it as well, though every petition I’ve signed the BrownClown has ignored.
Excellent site Anthony – read it everyday without fail.
Right now, CRU look as guilty as a puppy sitting next to a pile of pooh !

That Peter Lilley video is interesting. I didn’t know he was a sceptic, though I do recall Christopher Booker mentioning that Lilley was apparently the only MP who asked any awkward questions during the parliamentary debate in October of last year (when there had been snow, the first October snow in London for 70 years).
Apparently Lilley was the only MP to ask for a costing of the government climate change program under discussion. It is scandalous that the government had no figures. How could MP’s vote on something when they didn’t know what it would cost? Unbelievable.
Booker reported recently that the government finally slipped out the figure: 400 billion pounds (about 660 billion dollars). Ouch. But it gets better. Sooner after that, the Telegraph reported a study by a large accountancy firm: they say it will cost 1.2 trillion pounds (about 2 trillion dollars).
Quick note to Gordon Brown: before spending all that hard-earned dosh, shouldn’t we be sure the science is right?
I note that the two fairly prominent UK politicians who are sceptical are also both Conservative. As one myself (though I will be voting UKIP now that Cameron has broken his word on the referendum), I just wonder if Conservatives tend to be more sceptical than Labour supporters. If so, that may be reason for some hope. But the signs are not encouraging.

I just forgot to mention that I just signed. Some people expressed doubt over whether it will make a difference. It probably won’t, but you never know. It will depend on how many signatures arrive.
Some of you will recall the petition about road pricing a couple of years ago. Although I don’t own a car or drive I signed the petition, becaase there vwas an important issue of personal liberty and privacy. There were roughly 100,000 signatures. Now the government seems to have dropped the scheme. Who knows, maybe the petition did have some influence, after all. Let’s hope this one reaches 100,000….

And then they go and spoil it all with these two –
This year ‘in top five warmest’ . Good old UK MET office again. They are predicting 2010 may be the hottest on record, so get your hats and mits out people. Then –
Climate policies ‘improve health’ . This is perhaps the most egregious story in a long time, given the widely acknowledged fact that the money thrown into AGW’s voracious maw could actually have been spent to ensure clean water and energy for just about everyone who doesn’t have them. Now THAT would improve health.

How refreshing to see the Peter Lilley interview. I didn’t think there were any sceptical serving MPs. He won’t be popular with his Tory leaders.
It seems to me (nothing scientific about this, of course) that people in the UK who take an interest in and read about this subject tend to be the sceptics and the rest are happy to accept what they’re told by the media and politicians.
Not just the Government but all the main parties are willing to see the economy wrecked even further than it is already by agreeing to our Climate Change Bill (only 3 votes against; presumably Peter Lilley was one of them). They don’t seem to worry about power cuts – wind turbines and solar panels will prevent those. They will be very reluctant to change tack, as PL says.

I’ve just signed this petition, but it wont do any good.
Ten Downing Street always ignore these petitions.
They just have this facility to make the peasants think they have a say in government policy.
