NEWSPAPER ADMONISHES SLEEPY READERS
Andrew Bolt resists joining the Cult of Green:
Even during these latest warnings that the Great Barrier Reef would die in 20 years and polar bears soon after – wild warnings to coincide with the coming into force of the Kyoto protocol – I couldn’t find faith.
So I thanked The Age, Australia’s most Left-wing daily paper, for launching a crusade to convert sinners like me – pages and pages on global warming, starting on Saturday with a huge graphic: “10 Reasons to Start Worrying Now.” And a headline screaming: “WAKE UP. THIS IS SERIOUS.”
Thereafter follows an entertaining debunking of The Age’s frightmongering; read the whole thing. (Melanie Phillips has more on the global warming scam here.) You know, if The Age is so worried about global warming, what the hell is it doing converting tons and tons of trees into paper, rolling them through massive presses driven by coal-generated electricity, then distributing the end product all over the country in fossil-fuel eating earth-killers? The Age is systematically destroying the planet. I urge protesters to stop them. No profit for eco-rape!
