  • The honorable Mr. Jeroen van der Veer looks quite like Mr. Bean , and his accent also sounds like the undistinguishable blabbering of Mr. Bean .

    Though I suspect that while Mr. bean makes one laugh innocently , in comparison I surely can laugh about Mr. Veer silly face , but there is pure evil behind it .

  • He's sidestepping like a bitch.

  • CO2 is innocent!

    Dr Miskolczi showed that the solution to a differential equation for the greenhouse effect developed in 1922 by Arthur Milne, wrongly assumed an infinitely thick atmosphere. In re-solving this equation a new term and also a new law of physics have been proposed setting an upper limit to the greenhouse effect. Dr Miskolczis theory indicates that any warming from elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide will eventually be offset by a change in atmospheric moisture content.

  • LTDreams: what if the UK government(CORP.) were to use the budget for the Trident nuclear submarine defence replacement programme for a free/low cost energy R&D programme?

    pce

  • Lets stop fucking around,

    Stop wasting time trying to limit industry emission outputs.

    Governments need to invest money in research, we need a "Manhattan Project" for energy.

  • He side steps all of the direct questions.

  • yea a lot of people have been saying that the Global Warming thing is also just a plot by the elite countries to preserve the status quo and keep down emerging powers like China, Iran, and Nigeria. I dont know what to believe tho. Its a crazy mess

  • Shell and other oil companies are behind a good many of the 'Climatechange' pressure groups. Google "Netherlands: Greenpeace Buys Shell Stock." Monbigot knows this. CO2 is not causing Manmade Global Warming, in fact the Global temperature has been falling for almost 10 years. There is big money for big business in the Carbon Racket. Monbigot knows this too.

  • a 15% increase is something im willing to live with.

    the oil sands bring A LOT of very well paying jobs to alberta.. bringing all that money into western canada is desperately needed in these financial times, and to say its wrecking forests is kind of silly.. if you have ever flown over the rockys you will see they are already forested to some extremes

  • another GREAT interview. We need him here in the US.
