[apologies to Asimov]
An Englishman, on the subject of water (catastrophic shortage of).
Now a while ago, when it was still called ‘global warming’, we were told that the planet would turn into Venus, and all the water would evaporate, because of our original sin of lighting a fire some time prior to the Paleolithic.
In South-East England, [...]

Cows: fish-faced enemies of the people
Posted in AGW on 30 March, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Oh, for crying out loud.
The Register:
Irish boffins believe they may be able to save us all from the scourge of cowfart-induced ecological catastrophe, according to reports. It seems that adding fish oil to the parping bovine planet-wreckers’ diet can reduce their methane emissions.
Subtitle: Irish boffins, being so clever as to have the English think they’re [...]

Right, this just about does it.
I was wondering what exactly The Lone Voice was on about.
‘Earth hour’?
One of his commenters gives a clue:
8.30pm on Saturday, March 28, for 60 minutes….Every single light in my home and garden will be ablaze.
But then there was this, from Old Holborn:
…you may be aware that this Saturday 28th March [...]

Obliged to Martin at Their Contempt for You is Total for reference to this and this.
Apparently anyone who doesn’t believe in ‘climate change’ is now going to be classed as mentally ill (which is convenient because it means they can be detained against their will and drugged, or otherwise ‘treated’, into submission in complete secrecy).
Of [...]

According to the Independent
An advertising campaign urging people to help tackle climate change has been banned by Northern Ireland’s Environment minister because he does not believe humans are the main cause of global warming.
Ah, Ulster! Land of Battles! At least there’s someone left in that haven of controversialism with the courage of his convictions.

Modern history

Perhaps this, found on a Yahoo forum by David Davis, ought to be taught as ‘Modern History’. Failing that, I believe it should at least have a wider circulation.

The Remittance Man refers to this story in the Telegraph about how the Clean Air Act, in abolishing traditional pea-souper fogs, caused global warming.
Heigh ho.
I suppose what we need now is another American lend-lease scheme, allowing us to snap the few rails we have left with dirty great steam locomotives. We could reinstate the coal-burning [...]

I am obliged to Bishop Hill for reference to this fascinating website, on which automatic methods of fraud detection, available for use here, are applied to interesting datasets:
One of the main sources of global warming information, the GISS data set from NASA showed significant management, particularly a deficiency of zeros and ones.
I feel somewhat sorry [...]

From the mainstream media:
About 325,000 years ago, at the peak of a warm interglacial, global temperature and CO2 levels were higher than they are today. Today we are again at the peak, and near to the end, of a warm interglacial, and the earth is now due to enter the next Ice Age. If we [...]

Rather than comment at length on this absurd story from the Times (noticed by everybody), and thereby risk blowing the atmosphere clean off the planet and allowing the oceans to boil away, I would point out only that there appear to be more than 70 comments on it, not one of them supportive of Dr. [...]
