The Virgin gets Gored with the Pole

I like the concept of Richard Branson, the Virgin man.  Of the multi-Billionaires that have stashed away far more personal wealth than entire countries have to spend on food, I can forgive Branson because he’s odd.  Odd and cool.  If he has a bizarre agenda, it’s well hidden.  He just seems fair minded and normal.  Eccentric and normal. All in all, a man with a collection of reasons why he’s the acceptable face of entrepreneurialism.  Most importantly, he rarely wears a tie.  No tie means no lie, so you can trust a person without a tie.

So, it was a bit concerning to discover that he seems to have fallen for the Al Gore lie about Global Warming, and is joining a multi-Billionaires’ jolly to Antarctica this week.

Others along for the ride include various prominent ‘climate scientists’ who have crossed over from scientific reason and investigation into the human-hating political world, becoming strong proponents of the various schemes the New World Order-esque United Nations want to impose on countries in order to tax them to buggery to punish them for emitting the much needed plant food, carbon dioxide.

The publicity material for this event towards the South Pole explains how out of touch with reality these people are.  It discusses how they are making their expedition ‘this winter’.  Well, of course, it’s ‘this winter’ in the northern hemisphere, where we find the United States of America, and their pesky outpost, Europe, but in the southern hemisphere it’s ‘this summer’.

Indeed, the multi-Billionaires and their ‘climate scientist’ pals will no doubt be witnessing the natural late summer melts when they reach Antarctica.  What’s the betting this will provide plenty of alarmist footage for how terrible global warming is, and of course, how we are all to blame and must give them loads of money for our sins.

Will they mention how rapidly the Antarctic winter sea ice is increasing year on year and how it is at a 30 year high?  Of course not!  They only need to tell us ‘facts’ that support their human-hatred and demand we flash the cash.

You’d think these multi-Billionaires could reduce their personal wealth by even 50% and not even notice it, and maybe, just maybe, put their own money into saving the world instead of demanding ordinary people pay.
