Nick Griffin flexes his climate change talons
He dismissed the Holocaust as a '', denounced homosexuals as 'repulsive' and has just announced that '' on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio 5 Live's Breakfast programme. Please give a warm welcome to Nick Griffin, member of the European Parliament and chairman of the British National Party.
So, Mr Griffin is no environmental trailblazer. But he agrees (rather surprisingly) with arch-greenies such as over at the Guardian that we're running out of cheap oil and if we don't find a new source of energy, a will sweep the world:
'I believe ... that global warming is essentially a hoax', Mr Griffin told 5 Live's Nicky Campbell. 'It is being exploited by the liberal elite as a means of taxing and controlling us and the real crisis is peak oil. We're running out of proper, real energy. And it is something with an immediate and catastrophic effect in a few years' time potentially - not worrying about floating polar bears in 150 years.'
Of course, whether or not Griffin wants that new source of energy to be Good ol' British coal or something a bit greener remains to be seen.
