The EU and Climate Change

As Guido reports in his blog today here the great global warming claim is unravelling with Professor Judith Curry blowing the lid off the research of the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperatures project  of which she is a member. As I understand it Professor Curry says that the leader of the project Professor Richard Muller of Berkeley University of California has misled the public by hiding the fact that the project's data shows global warming has stopped. Today Clegg in an article in the Observer maintains that the EU has been wonderful for the economy, climate change, crime and defence. How Clegg can say this is gobsmacking unbelievable. What has the EU done for our economy teetering as we are on the brink of  financial disaster caused by the EU? What has the EU done for us on climate change other than to impose useless carbon cutting measures that will cost us a bomb? What has the EU done for our defence other than some mickey mouse cooperation with the French? Hasn't Clegg heard of NATO? As for crime I have to agree that this has indeed had a field day under the EU with the accounts for this institution unaudited and with corruption rife. I do not imagine though that Clegg was talking about crime in that way but was referring to the EU Arrest Warrant which in truth is an appalling device and which allows people to be arrested and incarcerated in countries that have to put it mildly inferior criminal justice systems  to our own and is definitely something which should be abolished. Why is it that practically every believer in global warming in this country is also a believer in the EU? Whatever the pundits say we are better off out of the EU and despite their scare stories it is neither impossible to leave it nor would it cause us untold damage. On the contrary it would set us free. We will be better off without the climate change policies and I have a feeling that the scales will fall from the eyes of more and more politicians on this issue in months rather than years. Hopefully reality on the EU will happen as quickly - with the total collapse of the euro it is possible and it is quite likely that we are close to this event.
