It seems the debate is getting a bit testy in the land of watercress sandwiches and doilies*.
“Man-made global-warming hypothesis is dead in the water” says Godfrey Bloom MEP, but it gets better, he points a finger at the chairman and shouts “denier”.
Watch.

* Some people thought I was referring to Belgium. No, I was referring to the EU Parliament in Brussels. I had lunch service there in a roomful of skeptics while Climategate raged in my mind, and I couldn’t say anything until it was verified. I recall the lunch service because it seemed to heighten the surreal situation I found myself in. – Anthony

Bravo Mr. Bloom!
On another note, have a look at the sea ice page, Antartic sea ice is poised to smash previous records. You heard it here first, but will be reading about it in the next couple of months.
Love it.
In the real world you base decisions on fact not fiction! Truth will always win in the end.
Never heard of the man, but he’ll do. 🙂
So good I watched it twice.
I believe Christopher Monckton is chief policy adviser to UKIP, so they’ve got some decent brains at the top.
If you go to the youtube page you will see that UKIP members attract a huge number of viewers. Bloom does not get as many as Farage but Farage probably gets more than the rest of the EU parliament together. Farage and UKIP are exploiting youtube just about to the limit. Watch.
Facts are indeed facts! Godfrey sums it up nicely.
On a sad note, thoughts and prayers to those impacted in Boston today!
Pay attention folks.
Godfrey Bloom – Go Man Go!
Just loved it! I’m only sorry I can’t vote in England.
They could be labeled “natural climate deniers”?
I have watched this three times now and lol every time. I love that guy.
You don’t need a weatherman, to know which way the wind blows….you don’t need a PhD to read the writing on the wall. Thankfully, the two-party puppet shows are nearing the end.
Roger Helmer is another UKIP, MEP who knows the wind direction and the wall writings. He has an excellent monthly e-newsletter, and responds to Truth.
We’ve just had a spring T-storm rumble through the Seattle area and it dumped quite a bit of hail. Days like this I wish Joe Romm was right because I’m tired of wearing wool 18 months out of the year. The vid was cheering, though. Nice to see old Blighty is waking up to the reality that they are really not EU material and willing to dance to Brussel’s polkas.
Hear! Hear!
LOL!! Global Warming is “face down!!!”
This reminds me of the old Monte Python’s Dead Parrot skit:
Arctic ice extent isn’t looking to shabby either. It had made the most dramatic summer to winter recovery in the satellite record. It is within a whisker of matching norms of a decade ago.
Another man not afraid to call a spade, a spade ! Bravo to you, Sir ! That makes a welcome change from the usual gutless and chinless UK ‘politicians’.
Brilliant presentation! A hero is born. I love this guy!
The really funny thing is that the above quoted comment could have been written by any one of three types of commenter …
(1) An anti-AGW-hoax pro-Science commenter who simply forgot the /SARC tag
(2) A pro-AGW eco-nut trying to use our “class” and “dignity” against us. This one has direct relationship to the recent Godwin’s Law discussion, clearly illustrating the
slipperygreased lightning slope you will find yourself on when you compromise on language. The old adage “if you give an inch they will take a mile” applies.(3) The spineless wishy-washy Bill O’Reily “independent” middle who have no will to win and if they had their way, the “debate” would go on forever, which is a kind of job security for many of them.
One way to win this so-called debate is to make their corrupt religious belief system that man-is-bad warm-is-wrong energy-must-be-expensive, extremely uncomfortable. That means ridicule them into oblivion so that they are unwilling to even open their mouthes.
Just bloody awesome! This is the man who would get my vote, if that was possible for the EU parliament. And believe me, this is not the end of it.
Danke.
My goodness.. Such progress this spring.. I hope it warms up! LOL
The European Parliament is a facade. Real power is held by unelected bureaucrats behind the scenes in Brussels, influenced only by a few national leaders. This video will still be useful, however, if it is shared around.

“That means ridicule them into oblivion so that they are unwilling to even open their mouthes.”
I wouldn’t say ridicule them so much as turn every argument they have used in the past and ram it down their throats. The 15 year mem is a prefect picture of that because they were the ones saying that its been warming for 12 years so it must warm “forever” and never stop warming from this point forward now give us all your money.
Proud to have been born in, and brought up in Yorkshire.
So, let’s see, from the US angle – from the two High Priests of climate CAGW quackery; the coal trains of death are making the deep oceans rise in temperature by 100ths of degrees (and that would be if that’s not two lies in the same sentence, which is doubtful). Oooooh scare-eeeee.
One been retired, one to go.
In the Medieval warm period, these guys would have been beheaded by now. At least, they now have to look back on their stupid-ass, meaningless careers. Punishment enough ?? Some would say not.
Very good! Do follow all that happens – it sounds like it’s about to get REALLY interesting.
So EU have a Climate Commissioner? I think that says all that is needed to be said?
I emailed him with a congratulatory message, hope he manages to promote common sense into a few politicians’ minds. I doubt it though, the green, bureaucratic carbon tax ticket is worth a lot in Europe. How else can they increase taxes in today’s economic climate?
