When I am proven right, the Climate Change Department will be swept away; Britain's annual deficit will fall by a fifth; the bat - blatting, bird - blending windmills that scar our green and pleasant land will go; the world will refocus on real environmental problems like deforestation on land, overfishing at sea and pollution of the air; the U.N.'s ambition to turn itself into a grim, global dictatorship with overriding powers of taxation and economic and environmental intervention will be thwarted; and the aim of science to supplant true religion as the world's new, dismal, cheerless credo will be deservedly, decisively, definitively defeated.
