Woe is us!

Heads  I win, tails you lose.

That's the standard operating procedure presented by most of the Chicken Little's involved in the big Green AGW scare campaign.

Take for example the Englishman George Monbiot. A truly zealous, 'the end is nigh' sandwich-board wearer who flapped his wrists for years over the 'fact' (scientific consensus, absolute truth!!!?) that oil, the life-blood of the 'capitalist' economy was about to reach its turning point (peak oil) in 1995, then 1997, 2002, 2003 and so on.  These 'facts' were used to bludgeon suggestible politicans into accepting that alternative fuel options must be considered, i.e. the 'renewable energy sector' a Utopian concept at best and frighteningly expensive to boot. Western politicians stampeded lemming-like to the edge of sanity, embraced the Green zealots and filled their sackcloth Gucci pockets with taxpayer dollars creating in the process not a few Green multi-millionaires and at least one billionaire in the plus size form of Al Gore.

Wonder of wonders, Monbiot has now confessed that the 'peak oil' scare has proved to be misguided and that there is actually plenty of oil:

"We were wrong about peak oil: there’s enough in the ground to deep-fry the planet.

He is now wringing his hands about the fact that there is too much oil on the planet:

 Humanity seems to be like the girl in Guillermo del Toro’s masterpiece Pan’s Labyrinth: she knows that if she eats the exquisite feast laid out in front of her, she too will be consumed, but she cannot help herself. I don’t like raising problems when I cannot see a solution. But right now I’m not sure how I can look my children in the eyes.

Poor George. I wonder how this 'fact' is going to play into the Chicken Little scare-book for the future, because don't believe for a second that George's cronies will allow the gravy train to stop while there are still taxpayer dollars to be had. No sir!
