The Sunday Silly – Josh on why the climate change “war” is like the war in Iraq

This gets the honor of “Climate Craziness of the Week”. Oh, that’s gonna leave a mark…

Josh writes in an email: her actual quote was:

“If we are to overcome the climate crisis we must move on to the equivalent of a war footing”

And she then likened the leadership this would require to Tony Blair’s in taking us to war in Iraq

But that’s too long for a satirical political cartoon, so Josh took the essence. Unfortunately I can’t seem to locate the online link as the Sunday Times link sends visitors to the paywall. It was in “features” and titled:

A very heated debate

Josh is working from the print edition in the UK, so I’ll take his word for it.

Here’s a letter Lucas penned in 2003 about the war in Iraq:

It is very telling. These quotes are pertinent:

They point not only to the imminent military war, which they recognise could have devastating consequences, but also to the ongoing economic war, which is being prosecuted by the US and Britain in particular, through the imposition of economic sanctions over a decade.

Um, in case you haven’t noticed lady, greens are waging economic war in the UK.

A recent broadsheet headline screamed: “Stop the war? Try telling that to the tyrannised people of Iraq.”

and …

An attack on the roads, bridges, ports or railways of Iraq would severely damage what is now an extremely well functioning food distribution system.

So will Lucas advocate stopping the tyrannizing of the British people by absurd green laws, protest takeovers of power plants by greens in the UK, Plane Stupid’s attacks on Heathrow airport, and threats of occasional electricity in the future?

Doubtful, in this case of greens -vs- the UK infrastructure, Lucas is the war leader.

Some deep self reflection is sorely needed by this confused woman.
