| Global Warming Available Now |
There was a short debate this morning on BBC Breakfast, between Trewin Restorick, from the environmental charity "Global Action Plan," and Times columnist Mick Hume, self-appointed spokesman of the decadent. They were discussing the merits vs environmental dangers of home air-conditioning (relatively rare in the UK - 5% of homes have some form of air con - but gaining popularity).
Mr Hume was scathing of what he called "Pseudo religious puritanism" but in his argument he made a small Freudian slip...
"I've just come back from a... a Turkish village - and every apartment there had global warming."
I don't know if anyone else spotted it, but you can view the clip here and his paux pas is after about 1 minute.
