Number 30 – They tried to take over Antarctica

Again, wrong. In the early decades of the 20th century 7 nations announced territorial claims for Antarctica, they were, Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, Great Britain, New Zealand, and Norway.
In 1959, the Antarctic Treaty was signed, that meant that no-one owned the Antarctic and it was for scientific purposes only.
Mr Grasse goes on to claim that Britain is to blame for global warming, well, just remind me who invented CFCs? That's right it was an American by the name of Thomas Midgley Jr. Not one to be beaten Mr Midgley then went on to invent leaded petrol! As one historian put it “he had more impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history.” 'nuff said.
