Maths joke

When 'Labour rebels' staged a 'climate change revolt' last July, and called for a maniacal 80% reduction in C02 emissions rather than a merely delusional 60% reduction, I had a bright idea ... lets go for a 100% reduction!

I'm glad to be able to report that The Worldwatch Institute have picked up this gag and are running with it. Here's a cutting from yesterday's Metro (article not available online):As an aside, the whole "It's-not-cold-it's-just-natural-fluctuations-masking-the-underlying-warming-trend" meme* seems to have gone out of fashion. Even leftie think-tank Compass forgot to include it in a recent article headed With coldest period for 20 years energy firms must pass on cuts now. Naughty, naughty Compass!

* My Underlying-warming-trend-o-meter is actually down by 40 results over the past few days.
