“Climategate has finally given us the chance to express openly what many of us secretly felt all along:

“AGW is about raising taxes; increasing state control; about a few canny hucksters who’ve leapt on the bandwagon fleecing us rotten with their taxpayer subsidised windfarms and their carbon-trading; about the sour, anti-capitalist impulses of sandal-wearing vegans and lapsed Communists who loathe the idea of freedom and a functioning market economy.

“We know it’s all a crock and we’re not going to take it.

“This is our Berlin Wall moment! They can’t stop us now!”
