Join the Mardale Times in our campaign to end the nonsense spouted about global warming and how it's all man's fault. Anything that happens in the news these days has either a terrorist or a greenhouse gas behind it. We'll get onto terrorism soon, but right now we're really pissed off that everything is caused by global warming, and global warming is caused by us in our 4 litre Jaguars and BMWs. Well, not you personally, you're probably too poor. Your discount cheesyJet flights to Italy won't be helping though, will they?

 So here's our stance. Global Warming - probably a fact. The weather is getting warmer, they say, and daily experience would tend to support that. Global warming caused by greenhouse gasses? Unproven. 100% scientific fact - we just don't know. We may be making a tiny increase, but not as much as natural planetary temperature cycles do. Our government's response? Not plan for the inevitable change and take action to reduce it's effect on our lifestyles and livelyhoods, no. It's decided that it can actually STOP this naturally occurring warming by, er, increasing taxes. So thats ok then.

Just as long as they're not spending all that lovely extra green tax on anything ironic, such as funding a war to ensure the security of supply of oil.
