Some important questions and no-nonsense answers:
Q: So who is this Lord Tebbit?
A: To fill some Americans in: we’ve all heard of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady. Well, Lord Norman Tebbit of Chingford was one of her “outspoken” senior cabinet ministers. Today he’s a conservative columnist with little time for “global warming” nightmares.
And, to be frank, Tebbit comes from tough stock. Some history: He and his wife survived the infamous 1984 Conservative Party conference bombing in Brighton, England. Years before, Tebbit had escaped out of a burning Mosquito aircraft. (Seriously.)
Q: Why isn’t Tebbit afraid of a warmer world?
A: Did I mention that Lord Tebbit is fireproof? To my understanding, he was also depicted as a skinhead biker, or Thatcher’s enforcer, in the TV series, Spitting Image, the satirical ITV puppet show.
But he’s a realist too. While chatting with a global warm-y suit, for example, Tebbit suggested, “that if Greenland could again grow wheat and barley as it did 1100 or 1200 years ago it might be quite helpful in feeding the hungry.” So if we believe the earth is warming (another debate) there’s surely a positive side.

3 degree F, and doubling of CO2 in atmosphere, can up to QUADRUPLE crop yields. (Cornell and Chinese studies)
and the left acts like this is a BAD THING???
A quadrupling of crop yields is catastrophic to the left, who hope to see populations around the world drop.
Indeed. Prince Phillip (I think) once said that if he could be reincarnated he would like to come back as a killer virus so as to lower human population levels. What a jerk.
Oops, when I said “I think” I did not mean I think he said it, I mean I’m pretty sure it was him that said it.
Delightful.

I don’t think they teach preindustrial climate changes in schools nowadays. The Roman Warming. The Egyptian Cooling. The Medieval Warming. Etc.
Scary but true. Many leftwing leaders are obsessed with population control - an evil hobby if you ask me.
Points taken (wink, wink).
I don’t think he was being serious. Have you never heard of the phrase ‘tongue in cheek’?
