I don't enjoy the current so-called debate at all, the quality of so
many of the arguments is dire.
However I *did* enjoy re-reading that delightful bit of Belloc, so
thanks for posting!
Belloc also wrote a poem about Matilda, who told lies. So many, that
the firemen didn't believe her when she said the house was on fire, so
she burnt to death.
That would be 'climate change'
