The replies to Nigel Farage’s take on climate change will warm your heart

Nigel Farage, the former Ukip leader turned part-time radio presenter and full-time Question Time panellist, has been offering his thoughts on climate change.

Large parts of central London have no salt on the roads. Perhaps they are all so convinced by global warming they never thought any would be needed.

We don’t know where to start, but fortunately this lot did.

If you'd ever had a proper education you would know that a RISE in Global Temperatures can cause LOCAL FREEZING in formerly temperate climates because of the effect on weather patterns, rainfall, oceanographic disturbances, shifting of the Gulf Stream and the jet Stream.

Really? You're a climate-change denier too?
Do we have to go back decades in every aspect of society?
Maybe we should bring back smallpox next.

Farage doesn't use a fridge. He doesn't believe that something that heats up could keep things cool. His white wine is always room temperature.

Pretty fucking embarrassed that British politics is being shaped by a man who thinks the gritters are part of a global warming conspiracy. https://t.co/pCu7yc4j3c

Farage’s tweet was like a tiny echo of Donald Trump’s take on global warming a few months back.

In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!

There is nothing more pathetic than @Nigel_Farage aping @realDonaldTrump
