FRESH AIR INSTEAD OF HOT AIR!
Tuesday, December 30, 2008 at 03:31PM Northern Ireland is lucky to have an Environment Minister who has the guts NOT to go along with the global warming alarmists!
Sammy Wilson has claimed that unfounded hysteria about climate change is deflecting the world from tackling many of the real problems facing the planet. In his latest comments on the matter, he says vast spending on reducing carbon emissions is depriving third-world countries of vital funds to tackle famine, HIV and other diseases. He claims most commentators on the matter don't have a clue what they are talking about and are only going along with the consensus because the issue is popular.
Sammy is right, of course. But I wonder how long he will keep his current role since he is singled out as the great heretic on the religion of environmentalism? I am one of the few around here who actually publicly support Sammy and whilst I differ profoundly from him on other matters, at least on AGW he is a breath of fresh air, as opposed to the hot air spouted by the green environmentalists.

And how long and with what consistency will he stand by those views?
This is the person who would never meet a Lord Mayor of Dublin. Responsible for the City Council motion banning Mary Robinson from Council property, no problem these days meeting representatives of the Republic. Called the UDA "doomsday" document "a valuble return to reality". Described the Tories as treacherous and called for closer links to Labour. Not forgetting his annual knockabout turn at the Party conference usually insulting those he regarded were selling out Ulster.
Today this man "governs" Northern Ireland with Sinn Fein/IRA. In my opinion he is a Fraud and you cant believe a word he says.
Scouseproud, the fool wouldn't have to share power with IRA/nationalist vermin if he'd had the balls to implement plans outlined in the 'doomsday' document at the time!!
In 1979, Paisley was late for a party meeting, Wilson went ahead without him ,warning one and all about the perils of a Thatcher Government, this was warmly received by the faithful.
Ulsters grand old Duke of York turns up asks God to deliver Ulster from the curse of Socialism, loud applause for the demon Doctor. Such was his then hold or should that be fearful control of the party poor Sammys words meant nothing.
"You have sold Ulster to buy off the fiendish Republican scum" Paisley to John Major at the time of the Downing Street Declaration.
