Controversial BNP leader to attend COP15

British National Party leader Nick Griffin
British National Party leader Nick Griffin
The British National Party leader Nick Griffin has said he will go the Copenhagen climate talks in his role as a Member of the European Parliament.

Mr Griffin sits on the Parliament's environment committee and has in the past been a vocal critic of climate change.

Speaking last week Mr Griffin said: "Those who warn of the consequences of climate change had reached an Orwellian consensus not based on scientific agreement, but on bullying, censorship and fraudulent statistics.

"The anti-western intellectual cranks of the left suffered a collective breakdown when communism collapsed.

"Climate change is their new theology... but the heretics will have a voice in Copenhagen and the truth will out.

"Climate change is being used to impose an anti-human utopia as deadly as anything conceived by Stalin or Mao."
