James Delingpole<\/a> has some entertainment paraphrasing the Cancun climate talks:<\/p>\n

Professor Kevin Anderson, Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, said today in a quote I\u2019ve made up but which is only slightly less absurd than what he actually said:<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the hacked Climategate emails, we expert Climate Scientists have come in for a lot of stick from sceptics and deniers in the pay of Big Oil who claim that we\u2019re just a bunch of misanthropic eco-fascists for whom freedom of choice is a concept more abhorrent than a baby polar bear pickled in shale oil. But nothing could be further from the truth. We believe that it should be entirely up to the people of the earth how they choose to kill themselves. If they don\u2019t wish to follow any of the fun suggestions outlined in the Royal Society\u2019s latest paper \u2018So you\u2019ve decided to die for Mother Gaia?\u2019, we\u2019re more than happy to send round a team of our experts to do the job for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a spokesman for David Cameron said he believed an outbreak of mass extinction would be \u201cGreat for Britain. Great for jobs.\u201d He pointed out that after the Black Death in the mid-fourteenth century, there had been some kind of similar economic revival as a result of there being more land, or people dying, or class barriers breaking down or some such, but that the exact details would have to wait for the forthcoming report on history teaching by Simon Schama, entitled: \u201cWhy death is the very least Britain deserves for the despicable colonial record which shames us all!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
