Swivel-eyed maniacs

Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true. For a long time now, those of you sceptical about man-made climate change have urged the BBC News to be more balanced in its coverage; that the corporation is prone to ignore sceptical voices and merely run and endless procession of Roger Harrabin and polar bears. But, in covering the beginning of the Copenhagen summit, the BBC got its act in order – and included a clip in its news report from Christopher Monckton, 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, no less. Ooh-er. Chris thinks the United States is signing itself to a communistic world government and a transfer of power from the west to the third world. You can see him swiveling his eyes about here.

One way or another there has to be apocalypse, doesn’t there?
