Yes, today is my birthday.
Lovely prezzies.
And one that is really quite interesting. One might almost say prescient…
I tend to wake up early. I tend to because I have a cat and having the kitty pawing at your face and mewling does work. I say “wake up” but that is not the same as [...]

Waste Reduction Survey 2010
Yup, my wife found this nine page document from Cheshire East Council yesterday. Yes nine pages of A4 on waste reduction and guess what? This is the second one they sent out. So that’s 18 pages of A4 for the bonfire.
Let’s take a look…
Q1. Who is responsible for sorting/putting out the rubbish in your [...]
Chuckles loses the plot - epically.
The Prince of Wales says he believes he has been placed on Earth as future King ‘for a purpose’ - to save the world.
Giving a fascinating insight into his view of his inherited wealth and influence, he said: ‘I can only somehow imagine that I find myself being born into this position for a purpose. [...]
Chuckles yet again!
The Prince of Wales has accused climate change sceptics of using ‘pseudo science’ and ‘intimidation’ to stop the world from addressing catastrophic global warming.
He likened the failure to combat rising temperatures across the world to playing “Russian Roulette with the future of our children”.
But instead of acting, the Prince said more and more people are [...]
Green Date
You hop in your Prius (and hope the breaks don’t fail) and drive over to pick-up your hot-date (she’s only hot due to global warming) and take her to an organic vegan restaurant and over a glass of Fairtrade Chablis and some quinoa you discuss whether or not the toilets ought to have towels or [...]
Toilet Papers
Khrushchev was rather different from Stalin. He didn’t have opponents offed. He rusticated them to posts like ambassador to Mongolia. This meant when he was deposed he wasn’t killed but merely sent to his dacha where, with his trademark bluntness, he remarked, “I can’t even have a shit without the Kremlin knowing about it”.
That [...]
Feminism Contra Greenism
I’ve recently been down London way for a couple of days and clearly they put something in the water down there because hot on the heels of me agreeing whole-heartedly with professional bed-distresser Tracey Emin I shall now agree with a French Philosopher…
Elisabeth Badinter, a 65-year-old philosophy professor and prominent French feminist, has caused a [...]
Public Support For Unpopular Decisions
I don’t ever read the Guardian, honest, but in this case I followed a link before I realised where it led. We see here words of warning direct from the millipede’s bottom.
“The danger of climate scepticism was that it would undermine public support for unpopular decisions needed to curb carbon emissions, including the likelihood of [...]
Saving the World One Toy Library at a Time…
A few years ago I made a prediction somewhere (Samizdata?) that as public confidence in global warming science waned, which it has (this story won’t help push the AGW agenda) The Greens would get increasingly dementedly shrill.
Indeed I dervived an equation for it:
S + E = C
Where S is demented shrillness, E is evidence [...]
An Avatar Too Far
If this is the level of journalism The Times can summon-up then we are truly up the Indy without a paddle.
I have read some utter shite in newspapers before now but nothing compares to this…
Global warming, don’t even try it, they’re ice-skating in Delhi and sledging in Seoul. That kind of sums up the [...]
Feed the World – Defeating the Greens With The Ultrasonic Nebulizer
The Greens, in their own words…
“In my view, after fifty years of service in the United Nations system,
I perceive the utmost urgency and absolute necessity for proper
Earth government. There is no shadow of a doubt that the present
political and economic systems are no longer appropriate
and will lead to the end of life evolution on this [...]
Unsubtle Tactics Nothing New
Tim Blair reports on a warmist complaint that he is being sent scary pictures of people being hanged.
This week I received an unsigned letter containing a black and white photograph of a figure hanging from a lamp post. On the back was written the word “Climategate”.
The letter is one of many being sent to scientists, [...]
By Their Deeds…
There was a very strange article in The Sunday Times about eco-hypocrisy. It starts well by citing cases of the actual behaviour of the great and the good who lecture us upon the need to live like peasants whilst enjoying lifestyles I can’t even imagine.
It ends-up going off the rails and justifying the “excess” of [...]
More Credible Predictions
I did see this one some time ago. Apparently oblivious to the recent total annihilation of scientific credibility on climate predictions, New Scientist has hired a Tarot card reader to foretell the doom of the polar bears. Yes, a Tarot card reader. An actual, card-carrying Tarot card reader.
Like other practitioners, I was always praying that [...]
Carbon
I’ve been slow posting because I’ve been enjoying the spectacle of Climategate, or CRUdgate, or whatever you want to call it. Things do seem to be calming down a little as we start to move from the denial-that-this-is-at-all-significant phase to the hold-an-enquiry-to-avoid-having-to-talk-about-it phase. Only when we move out of that into the-enquiry-exonerates-everyone stage can we [...]
