UK: Brown rejects 'flat-earth' climate sceptics

LONDON (AFP) – World leaders heading to UN climate talks next week must not be distracted by "flat-earth" sceptics who deny humans are to blame for global warming, Prime Minister Gordon Brown warned Saturday.

"With only days to go before Copenhagen, we mustn't be distracted by the behind-the-times, anti-science, flat-earth climate sceptics," Brown told The Guardian newspaper ahead of the landmark UN summit in the Danish capital.

"We know the science. We know what we must do. We must now act and close the five-billion-tonne gap. That will seal the deal."

Government advisor Nicholas Stern estimated that 10 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions must be removed from the atmosphere by 2020 to cut global warming. Action pledged so far would only achieve half that.

Brown was speaking amid a row over leaked emails from a key climate research unit in Britain, which sparked claims that scientists were trying to suppress data which did not support the view that climate change is happening.

Many people think Brown is an idiot. Now he proves it.

Typical politician he's still speaking to his "base of support" ~ and no new facts may intrude.

Brown is a real moron. The question is, Who are the REAL “flat-earthers” here? Nature does its thing like it has done for millions and millions of years and jackasses like Brown think that man is causing everything to happen. ROTFL! Now that’s what I call a “flat-earther.” Forget Copenhagen. These pinheads should put on their robes with hoods, learn a few chants and conduct their goofy meeting at Stonehenge. Maybe Gaia can help them understand how the universe works. Dumbass politicians.

It is more likely we will be heading into another ice age than global warming will burn up the planet.

The global warming thing is the biggest bunch of bs in the history of politics. Lies to justify taxes - politicians get to tax air and weather. Fantastic.
