It was on the 15th 2013 when the debate “Timing of auctions of greenhouse gas allowances” was held in the European Parliament. Former British MEP Godfrey Bloom mocked the myth of human-caused global warming during this debate:
“Well, what do we know about carbon dioxide? Not carbon, but carbon dioxide is a different thing for those people who are in this chamber who haven’t had the benefit of a formal education. They’re different things. We know that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere always follows periods of global warming. We know do we not that that hypothesis that man-made global warming was going to cause total apocryphal boiling in 2015. Now is completely nonsense. The hypothesis is dead in the water. It’s face down. There has been no statistically significant global warming now for over 15 years. There isn’t a single, independent scientific institution which doesn’t acknowledge that fact. So, all this debate is a lot of nonsense because it simply isn’t happening. And commissioner you say that the weather is getting worse and worse. The climate change is getting worse. Madam, where have you been? It hasn’t been! Why are you in denial? You’re in denial if I may lapse into the vernacular of the looney greeners and their fellow travellers on this complete money-making nonsense. Denier! Denier!”
