Clarkson is on form today in the Times Online:
Yet that’s what the modern day Trots and Bolsheviks want. For you to replace your BMW with a cow. Even though a cow produces more global warming gases than a BMW. And also doesn’t have electric windows.

he goes on
The government, however, is even more idiotic. It wants us to buy the car, pay the Vat, and the tax, and the tax on the Vat, and the tax on the Vat on the fuel in the tank. And then it wants us to leave it at home and go to work on the bus. We are being governed by window-lickers

and he finishes with the flourish:
Because unlike the eco-mentalists, I’m not sure what the planet will do next. I do know, however, that there is nothing more dangerous than the illusion of knowledge.


Having just read Michael Crichton's "State of Fear", the Gorse Fox is with JC on this one.
