Quite so, and recent events in Antarctica further show the folly and Quixotic zeal of warmists as they continue to attempt to foist their socialist ideology on affluent nations, all in the name of ‘saving the planet’.

Ice in the Antarctic in the middle of summer? Who’d a thunk it? Idiots and rent-seekers.
Tony Abbott, more power to your arm. You have a huge mandate to clear out the feral socialists, let’s hope you’ll do it.
