“Canada now needs leaders with the courage to stand up to today’s deadly enemies, climate campaigners who are bent on destroying the energy sources we need to maintain a prosperous society.”
From Canada Free Press:
World War II Lancaster bomber pilot “Sandy” Mutch says that the Harper government should not be surprised that they were angrily attacked by climate campaigners last week when Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver expressed doubt about the severity of man-made global warming.
“On bombing raids over Europe, we could tell we were closing in on the target when we started to get the most flak,” said Mutch, now 93 and living in Ottawa. “Anyone who wants to kill the dangerous and unfounded climate scare, as I certainly hope our government does, should focus on exposing the shaky science behind climate alarm. That is the Achilles heel of the whole movement. Shoot it down and you win the war!”
Well. actually. old boy, I have shot it down myself. Tally ho!! By the way, flak, I agree, my dear chaps and lassies, relies purely on luck, and luck is on our side.

Direct Hit on the target.
My father was a B-24 pilot.

He didn’t fear German fighters. He feared flak. You couldn’t fight back against it. Survival was shear luck.
