UK Prime Minister Drives A Stake Through The Heart Of The Green Vampire, by James Delingpole.

Incoming Prime Minister Theresa May has driven a stake through the heart of her predecessor David Cameron’s fluffy, faux-Conservative project by scrapping the Department of Energy And Climate Change (DECC).

Hooray! The whole theory is bunk anyway. James also wrote a nice article about the hedge fund based on our new science discoveries.

Established in 2008, DECC was a hangover from the Gordon Brown era of woeful misgovernance. … Under the terms of the Climate Change Act – written by a green activist from Friends of the Earth called Bryony Worthington; endorsed by Cameron’s Conservative opposition and rejected by only five MPs – Britain is legally committed to more stringent “decarbonisation” targets than any other country in the world, at an annual cost of around £19 billion a year.

What a colossal waste of money, transferred from the public purse to green allies. Now wonder the Greens are so flush with funds. Carpet bagging based on a patently false theory — hmmm, what could you call that?

It’s not yet clear how much of DECC’s £5.7 billion budget will be saved now that it is being absorbed into the Business department BIS.

It’s true that the most significant benefit its closure will bring lies not so much in saved costs as in the likelihood of reduced regulation. In Britain, as in the rest of the world, green taxes and regulations have added a significant burden to economic growth, as well as having a distorting effect on energy markets.

This is good news. Very good news. The agonised screeching of all the usual suspects in the Environmental movement will be enough to sustain many of us in lols for weeks and months to come.
