Letter from Hopenhagen to the G & M

Just read about the latest rogue Tory MP. You know, the one who does believe the science of climate change. May be it will get printed.

Dear G & M, Here I am in Hopenhagen, after an entire week of witnessing the most profound outpouring of human compassion and hope for the future of our planet. Today we were all participants in the humiliating experience of being found out. The country I adopted some 33 years ago, in which I met my life partner, raised my two beautiful daughters and have tried to play an infinitesimal role in helping to make one of the most respected in the world, has been awarded the "Fossil of the Year Award". We are an international pariah. Then, to really put the icing on the cake, so to speak, I get to my temporary Danish residence and discover that an MP from the governing party is sending out e-mails telling his constituents that climate change is not happening. Where are these guys coming from anyway? What planet do they purport to inhabit? Surely not the same one as I am disgusted to be witnessing being char broiled over a slow flame. Of course though, this is the party whose leader notoriously stated, shortly before obtaining minority government status, that the whole climate change issue was a nasty socialist plot. Having read the book Climate Cover-Up on the way here I shouldn't really be surprised that these fossils are still spitting their soul destroying vitriol. After discovering the clandestine shennanigans from the likes of the despicably named Friends of Science, I should know that these guys will go to their graves stating that the Earth is flat. By the time this letter is received we will know whether the rest of the world has shown the courage and wisdom to begin turning this supertanker around, or whether they have collectively decided that bitumen (substitute your chosen fossil) trumps survival. And, needless to say the government of Canada has already made the choice.
