Climate Realist Wins Mayor Of London Post

The UK Conservative Party's Boris Johnson, climate realist has been elected Mayor of London, defeating America hating and all around Communist sympathiser, 'Red Ken' Livingstone. The first election in British history to be decided on mainly environmental issues was a stark raving flaming defeat for the enviro-loons -- Simple as that.

Can you hear the sobbing? Listen close, the dinosaur, global warming loving, Marxist loving, America hating drive by media is sobbing. Ever so softly, they don't want you to hear. The "Mayor of London" is a high political post in the British scheme of things, you might say it's almost like a second Prime Minister. The election in Britain is a massive defeat for the current Prime Minister, it simply means he is severely crippled in what he can do regarding policies.

The Friday election was a massive repudiation of the current PM's hideous, crippling, global warming taxes -- Like the nonsense that the US Congress is preparing for the US. The Labour Party is in dire straits with the people of England over this. Will America follow their lead?

It's interesting to review some quotes before the election. Before the Brits rejected bone crushing CO2 taxes. Before the Brits "came to their senses". It's a beautiful thing. And it can happen in America, just be patient, let the weather work it's magic on the enviro-loons.

There are a hundred reasons why Boris Johnson should not be Mayor of London. But his dinosaur views on the environment alone are enough to show what a disaster he would be for our city. The man who backed Bush against the Kyoto treaty and who doesn't believe there's a risk from passive smoking cannot be trusted with our future - or even, really, with his own. He's a 19th century man in a 21st century city

Under a climate change denier like Boris Johnson, we would have to fear for our futures, and for the jobs of all the hundreds who work for us. We would also have to fear for the physical security of the city itself, under the assault of unmitigated global warming, were others to follow Johnson's 'lead' on climate change.

The prospect of Boris as Mayor of London is just so scary. The prospect of Boris taking over London's Climate Change Action Plan is even scarier. He may have learnt not to reveal his full contrarian bigotry on climate change, but he really doesn't get it, and would rapidly scale back or completely get rid off the ambitious targets in the Action Plan. And that would be a massive set back. I just hope all the environmental NGOs can rally the troops in London in a pro-Ken campaign, even if they can't come out and explicitly endorse him.

Boris Johnson claimed a remarkable victory in the London mayoral contest on Friday night to cap a disastrous series of results for Gordon Brown in his first electoral test as Prime Minister. Mr Johnson's landmark victory, a result that would have been almost unthinkable six months ago, was the most symbolic blow to Mr Brown's authority on a day that left the Prime Minister facing the gravest crisis of his leadership.

[The defeated] Mr Livingstone made clear he views 1 May as a referendum on his policies to tackle climate change and protect the health of Londoners. Aides claimed it would be the first election in British history to be decided largely on environmental issues.

Londoners now face a stark choice. Boris Johnson is an environmental vandal, whose main contribution to environmental policy was as a cheerleader for George W Bush's disastrous decision to oppose the Kyoto climate treaty. The election is neck and neck and everyone who cares about the environment needs to vote with the first and second preferences for myself and Sian Berry if we are to stop Boris Johnson wrecking London's environment.

The hypocrisy of the Europeans over Kyoto is staggering. They attack America in hysterical terms, and yet the 15 EU countries have never come close to meeting their own eight per cent target for cuts in carbon dioxide emissions. They have not even agreed which countries should cut the most. If America were to meet its Kyoto targets now, it would require a cut of 30 per cent in emissions, and how, exactly, is that supposed to work in the current economic downturn? It would exacerbate the recession, and when Bush says no, he is doing what is right not just for America but for the world

Be scared, be very scared ... the Marxist enviro-loons are still out there. And they want to take everything you have, your freedom, your liberty and most of all, your money.
