AGW Assclown Of The Week and Thermageddon Monger QOTD

This is so stunningly stupid, John Ashton deserves to win both awards, especially when you consider that he said it in a speech to the MET office:

"The consequences of (CO2-driven) climate change could still be catastrophic if climate sensitivity were zero."
