Frank Pope, hypocrite

The Times, which was the newspaper of record many moons ago, gives space to someone called Frank Pope today. Mr Pope wants to give us all a good lecture about climate change.

Problem is, in reality Mr Pope doesn't really give a stuff about climate change, as we can see by taking a look at his Wiki page.

Graduating with a degree in Zoology from the University of Edinburgh, Frank began working with Coral Cay Conservation in Belize, Central America...

He subsequently worked on maritime archaeological projects in Uruguay, the Cape Verde Islands, Greece, Italy, Vietnam and Mozambique on wrecks including the San Salvador, Graf Spee off Montevideo and Lord Nelson's flagship HMS Agamemnon in Uruguay, Princess Louisa in Cabo Verde and the San Sebastian Wreck in Mozambique.

With a biography like that it's not too far from the truth to say that Mr Pope is personally responsible for global warming. Why does the Times make us listen to people like this?

“…technological advances cannot be hoarded by those who discover them. They must be shared…” Frank Pope.

“A man’s brain is a social product. A sum of influences that he’s picked up from those around him. Nobody invents anything, he merely reflects what’s floating in the social atmosphere. A genius is an intellectual scavenger and a greedy hoarder of the ideas which rightfully belong to society, from which he stole them. All thought is theft.” Dr Ferris, a rather unpleasant character in Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

The Times is sponsoring a conference in London featuring hand-picked nobel laureate warmists who - surprise surprise - issue a warning that we're doomed unless we return to the Stone Age pronto.

I saw that. I'm not sure anyone's going to be listening though.

We have another 6 months of this stuff to endure, before it all hits the buffers at Copenhagen in December. Here's yet another helping of dire climate-related bilge from the Times (a letter this time):

What's with the Times, anyway - have they all succumbed to Grauniaditis over there?
