Al Gore must have been in London yesterday

Seems it was the first October snowfall in London in 86 years. While Parlaiment debated mooted a Global Warming Reduction Bill. You can't make this up.

Still, not everything's rosy in An Inconvient Truth land. Seems the proles aren't buying it:

Recently the American media has begun to notice the odd incongruity of saturation media coverage here which insists that global warming is both man-made and urgent, and a British public which increasingly doubts either to be true. 60 per cent of the British population now doubt the influence of humans on climate change, and more people than not think Global Warming won't be as bad "as people say".

Both figures are higher than a year ago - and the poll was taken before the non-summer of 2008, and the (latest) credit crisis.

Yet anyone looking for elected representatives to articulate these concerns will have been disappointed.

Look, you lot - we're the smartest kids in class. Teacher said so. You you all just fall into line. Don't make me want to change my tone.

The closest thing to a British Inhofe is Ulsterman Sammy Wilson, Democratic Unionist Party, who'd wanted a "reasoned debate" on global warming, rather than bullying, and recently called environmentalism a "hysterical psuedo-religion".

Sammy, here's yer "reasoned debate", you racist sexist imperialist oppressor, you.

"When the history books come to be written people will ask why were the only five MPs... who voted against this ludicrous bill," [Tory barrister Christopher Chope] said.

Nah. We've seen this before. Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.
