The Remittance Man refers to this story in the Telegraph about how the Clean Air Act, in abolishing traditional pea-souper fogs, caused global warming.
Heigh ho.
I suppose what we need now is another American lend-lease scheme, allowing us to snap the few rails we have left with dirty great steam locomotives. We could reinstate the coal-burning dreadnought. We could also drop this nonsense about smoking and make the economical habits of Mr. Sherlock Holmes (who was alleged by Dr. Watson to collect his pipe leftovers on the mantlepiece and smoke them in the morning) compulsory.
I wonder whether we might also clear up the countryside a bit and have a very big bonfire. Smashed pallets, car tyres, climate ’scientists’, vanities; you know.
“Decreasing air pollution causes global warming” shocker. Oh well, it should be fun to see how the warmists spin this one…
