Farming, Trees and the Wind

Spoke to a 'Farmer' today who believes in global warming but it seems he is a landowner who leases his land to 3 real farmers. He also owns a forest and wants to chop it down even though the trees are not yet ready to be harvested as he can earn more from farming the wind. He is having a little difficulty getting the necessary permissions although a wind farm company his helping him sort out his problem. He was a little upset when I told him that contrary to the lies we have been fed the science on global warming is not settled and that I was glad Osborne and the Treasury are taking a tougher line on emission levels. We will now only match the emission levels of the other EU countries and only when they reduce their levels. The 'Farmer' did say though that anyone who believed in global warming and other green/animal issues without any qualification was like a religious fanatic or fundamentalist and dangerous. It is not often that a ranter like me gets to agree with a believer in global warming. We also agreed that we must go hell for leather building nuclear power stations. In order to do this the obnoxious Huhne must be dropped. I wonder whether his views on global warming and other green issues make him a fundamentalist? Fox seems to be a bit of a fundamentalist as far as his relationship with Mr Werrity is concerned meeting him as he did some forty times but the Spectator this evening has a plausible explanation about how they were able to do so here. My bet is that Fox will keep his job.
