Tony Blair’s old Chief Scientific Advisor, David King, has been back in the news lately, with his alternative SAGE Committee. It is stuffed with far left activists, and has clearly been set up to undermine the government.
King has a long history of cock ups, not least his key role in the government’s disastrous response to the Foot and Mouth epidemic in 2001.
He was also heavily involved in Blair’s calamitous decision to promote diesel cars in order to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide.
King later made an idiot of himself, when he led us to believe that we would all to live in Antarctica by the end of the century because of global warming.
Obviously not knowing when to stop digging himself into an ever deeper hole, the clown last year made news again last year, according to the BBC:
Scientists in Cambridge plan to set up a research centre to develop new ways to repair the Earth’s climate.
It will investigate radical approaches such as refreezing the Earth’s poles and removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
The centre is being created because of fears that current approaches will not on their own stop dangerous and irreversible damage to the planet.
The initiative is the first of its kind in the world and could lead to dramatic reductions in carbon emissions.
The initiative is co-ordinated by the government’s former chief scientific adviser, Prof Sir David King.
"What we do over the next 10 years will determine the future of humanity for the next 10,000 years. There is no major centre in the world that would be focused on this one big issue," he told BBC News.
Some of the approaches described by Sir David are often known collectively as geoengineering….
One of the most promising ideas for refreezing the poles is to "brighten" the clouds above them.
The idea is to pump seawater up to tall masts on uncrewed ships through very fine nozzles.
This produces tiny particles of salt which are injected into the clouds, which makes them more widespread and reflective, and so cool the areas below them.
Such ideas have many potential downsides and may prove to be unfeasible.
For some reason the media still treat him as if he knew what he was talking about!
