Readers may recall the Norfolk doctor warning us that climate change is the biggest threat to public health the other week.
Fortunately it appears that at least one of the EDP readers has a bit of commonsense:
But they aren’t all as sensible!
Now what on earth does the prat think the UK govt can do about he climate?
(I assume he won’t be walking to London, by the way!)

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
There are a lot of very deluded people out there that believe all the most outrageous claims in the MSM.
There are also a lot of brainwashed youngsters out there too, my niece’s son, aged 21, is one of them. His “education” convinced him that the Polar Bears are going extinct, the Oceans are becoming “Acid” so everything in the will die and it will get so hot everyone will die as well.
He actually believes in Wind Turbines, Solar and Tidal Energy.
I can’t get through to him with “Facts” or “Data”, as that is all a big conspiracy by the Energy companies.
Then again there are all those that have ulterior motives (financial, power etc) for supposedly believing when of course they know it is all lies damn lies and biased statistics.
I have exactly the same experience with my son. It is deeply depressing. I did mange to back him into the “precautionary principle” corner, but that was a pyrrhic victory:-(
I think much of the Green idiocy among the rank and file (i.e. those who do not stand to benefit financially or career-wise) comes from the combination: middle-class guilt + infantile narcissism.
This leads to the need to be a ‘victim’ of something (so as to claim for oneself the nobility of victimhood).
‘Weepy’ Bill McKibben (founder of 350.org) has written about his own search for victimhood.
“Being white, male, straight, and of impeccably middle-class background, I could not realistically claim to be a victim of anything.”
He briefly tried to pretend to be Irish (so he could join in IRA hunger strikes), but then he happened on the ultimate victimhood — global warming. Now everyone can be a victim (apart from the cartoon villain ‘oppressors’ – Big Oil, Fox News, Koch Brothers).
This is why the rage of the alarmists is so shrill and predictable. They have managed to convince themselves that they are ‘victims’ of a monolithic world-destroying machine run by the oppressors.
And why not? It’s easier than thinking.
Mr Keene is probably in greater danger from turning down his heating and not eating meat, than “climate change”.
The problem is, to those who have an exaggerated view of the dangers of “climate change”, it is responsible for all bad weather and natural disasters.
That is because the “Scientists”, Politicians and MSM keep telling them that Climate Change is responsible.
Taking up Paul’s point about Good Energy, their statements about their fuel mix are a bit slippery.
On the one hand: “All our electricity comes from local, natural sources like Cornish sunshine,”
But deeper in their site: “At Good Energy we ensure that all the electricity we sell to customers each year is matched 100% with electricity sourced from renewables.”
Which doesn’t seem like quite the same thing.

If their renewables become insufficient (on foggy days, as Paul suggests?), Mr Keene should be cut off and left to fend for himself. That’s only honest, isn’t it?
