From out of the mouths of the world's poorest ...

How one Somalian sees the warmist hysteria [hat tip Willie S.]:

   ...the global warming hysteria [is] an idea that has more to do with Europe’s prosperous middle class politics and media than it has to do with Science ...
    We in Somaliland didn’t even know the `debate’ was taking place but we certainly did not escape its impact.  Some bright spark somewhere in this green global warming swamp decided it was a good idea to put food into combustion engines instead of human mouths. Vast swathes of the world’s most productive arable lands in America and Brazil were converted into `biofuel’ farms. The result is man-made shortage of food across the globe while, ironically the biofuel mass production did not affect the price of fossil fuels at all. It, continued to go up and up. "

Christopher Brooker in the Telegraph summarises the latest state of play on the 'debate.'

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
