…. and if the Global Warming Policy Foundation really wanted to stir the pudding, what better place than Scotland which has an election on May 5th.
With petrol prices at a ridiculous level, a minister resigning for their “first class response” which led to people spending days on the main motorway from Glasgow to Edinburgh. With a mini repeat of the fiasco yesterday whereby temperatures as low as -1C (irony) led yet again to the closure of the M8 — and there seems no real explanation for this closure except for a lack of gritting and/or vehicles to grit (yet more cost cutting due to global warming rubbish?).
In a country where the politicians are hell bent on destroying the main industry in much of the country (tourism) by littering the place with bird mincers.
In a country where politicians are more than happy to increase the tax on electricity for Scots in order to help the English achieve their renewable obligation target.
In a country where the politicians were warned that they would not get any economic benefit from wind (because I told them in 2000)
In a country where the wind “industry” were asked to set the rate of the renewable obligation tax and where the renewable industry run & fun the parliamentary committee on renewable energy (which if it isn’t corruption what is?).
In a country with a mad kind of voting system that allows even people like the Greens to get in ….
…. it is quite possible that if some sceptic could be found to stand in the election then they might well get elected given the fiasco we’ve just experienced! Even if not I’d love to see the politicians faces if someone stood for lower petrol prices, more spending on the roads and an end to bird mincers!

The real question is, Who is culpable for the deaths that could have been avoided, and are there criminal and/or civil remedies available in the UK?
In the US, a person who knowingly withholds a remedy, if he or she is in a custodial or stewardship position, and this contributes to or causes death, then this person is:
1) guilty of negligent homicide, or if intentional, voluntary manslaughter
2) guaranteed to be held liable for civil action.
Who will bring the charges?
BTW – Mark Bowlin – bird mincer=wind turbine
