Gordon Brown has now admitted that his statement to the United Kingdom Parliament that he had saved the world was slightly premature. He is still intent on saving the world, and has now decided that he has less than 50 days in which to do so.
Whether this is because he knows he has less than 50 days left at the helm of the fast sinking MV. Britania, (we can but hope), or because the Copenhagen summit is in 50 days time, he didn’t make clear.
Mr Brown said the costs of failing to address global warming would be greater than the impact of the two world wars and the Great Depression.
It seems that Britain’s Bangladeshi population will be feeling more and more at home as flooding becomes an annual event, the-more-than-eight-days-of-sunshine experienced in Britain in the summer of 2003 becomes the norm, and global eco-protesters will be fried in their socks where they stand.
Only 50 days Gordon? Mind you don’t get bitten by a police dog as you campaign for Climate Action.

One could say bullshit but that might be unkind to our non mandated leader, after all he’s only asking the uninformed to to follow his half sighted lead.
When will the world government advocates stop trying? http://www.youtube.com/v/MlTagSZPm7o
More like ‘World has 50 days to save my career‘.
Fat chance.

Oh, Pur-leeeeese.
Remember the Kyoto treaty (1997)?
50 ruddy days. My eye.
Ponce Charles reckoned 100 months. Gordon Brown says 50 days.
It will eventually get to 14 hours won’t it.
Are they trying to stitch us up before winter really begins to bite?
What have they been doing for 12 years?
Not enough Quangos, maybe.
Again, the question foremost in my mind is “what shape is the sun on your planet today McMental?”.
1. is the earth the same as the planet???
2. who is this man, is he a scientist or what??
Maybe what Gordon really means is that there are 50 days left before St.Blairyo gets his new job. Once St.Blairyo is President of All, he won’t be able to fit in all of the lovely, lucrative personal appearances and after-dinner speeches/
World leaders (jetting in on their own individual private jets of course) from all over planet earth will assemble to discuss the merits of allowing Pat Scotland either a Ministerial Jaguar or a Tongan Hula Hoop.
Is it just me or does St. Blairyo look increasingly starey-eyed and bonkers recently? As the great Marie Antoinette once said, “Those who the Gods would destroy they first drive bonkers”. Having spent the last decade doing a meticulously spectacular job on his already loosely-moored spouse, the Gods are now lobbing the entire fruitcake at St. Blairyo himself. First Sedgefield, then Britain, then Europe, then The World! Gnahh! Gnurgle-urgle!
Must be something in the Downing Street water supply.
How starey-eyed and bonkers does a pretty straight kinda guy look, nadgers? I dunno!
What ever happened to the hole in the ozone ?
St. Blairyo stared at it for a very long time. And then it was gone. That’s why he’s going to be President of Everything. Seemples.
Gosh he’s so clever, blair for president !
Funny how the too big problems of our time, banking crises and climate change both only have one solution.
World Government.
Joy is coming our way and fast.
