Now they tell us - by Richard... Thursday, January 14, 2010

The roads are going to be icy, warns the Met Office. This is "nowcasting", not forecasting, as Joe Bastardi would say. And we need to pay these goons £170 million a year to tell us that?

This is England 2010 - by Richard...

In Brown's 21st Century England, this is what we were reduced to yesterday. These fool politicians and their warmist friends should be made to crawl on their hands and knees to beg forgiveness.

Then and now (Part 2) - by Richard...

They got it wrong and keep getting it wrong.


Now for the reality check, more than adequate testimony that the Met Office is a waste of space.

It'll be back - by Richard...

Joe Bastardi is warning us not to relax. "Like the winters of yore a January thaw," he writes, "but I want to remind you that the physical drivers for the cold winter are still there. And winter will come back ... It will come back again and stubbornly last into March."

He's been reading about England, and this "break" will help out, he says. "What will help out more is if your leaders so bent on saving the planet 100 years from now would understand that chasing what may be a ghost of the future does no good when you are caught off guard today."

Anti human? - by Richard...

Leo Hickman in The Guardian is worried about the effects of road gritting on the environment. 

The man laments that, "... studies have shown that road salt can damage, or even kill, vegetation and trees growing on the verges, as well as amphibians that can suffer acutely due to their permeable skin. Migratory birds are said to be at risk, too, with seed-eating species reportedly finding it hard to distinguish between gritty salt crystals and the mineral grit their diets require."

Nothing about humans and broken bones though, car smashes, economic losses, etc., etc. But what does that matter compared with the welfare of trees and the little birdies?
