You are brilliant at your work, Mr Monbiot, please continue exposing greenwashers.

Pardon the pun 'Furnzo' but You are an absolute Tube. Think you've slightly missed the point somehow. Has anyone read 'Heat,' by George Monbiot?

[hughgallagher]

monbiot is such a plonker... it's clear that the offset schemes do exactly what they say on the tin ... the fact that there may be a delay is irrelevant

Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant it is a life giving gas. The Planet is now cooling abruptly, The Sun in an inactive phase, the Pacific ocean is in a cool PDO, The atlantic has just entered a cool AMO, the troposphere is cooling,the AO has turned negative. Carbon dioxide is used in photosynthesis to produce the planet's food. Time to stop the warming bullshit and prepare for a cooling world.

What an interview technique - ask a question and talk over the answer. Why do people agree to be interviewed by Moonbat?

[petitvaurien]

My, does Monbiot love the sound of his own, rather posh, voice! I don't think I've come across a ruder interviewer. It isn't actually an INTERVIEW at all. It's basically interviewee bashing. On an unfortunate choice of subject. Easyjet is trying after all.

Just a question for Monbiot: would you be, I wonder, anywhere near as savage questioning Polly Toynbee about her jetting off to her villa in Tuscany. The way you sound you probably own the next plot down the road from her in Chiantishire.
