The "greenies" that John Larkin fulminates about don't actually exist. 
They are an invention of the climate change denial propaganda machine.

If John Larkin had ever had a proper education he might be able to 
distinguish truth from concocted stories. Perhaps not - he doesn't seem 
to be able to learn much at all.

A fact which is well known to actual greenies.

It's a pretty silly thing to complain about, but the ING Bank does lend 
money to people who dig up fossil carbon and sell it to be burnt as 
fuel, which is an activity which we are giving up quite rapidly - if not 
quite as fast as we should. The side effects are nasty, and getting nastier.
