Brussels. How we are being screwed.

I see from the news that Brussels have agreed to hand over £6.5 billion to from the EU to the third world to help it to overcome so called "Climate Change".

EU leaders ended a summit in Brussels having agreed to pay 7.2bn euros (£6.5bn; $10.6bn) over three years to help poorer nations cope with climate change.

What's worse is that Brown has pledged the poor British taxpayer to stump up £1.5 billion of it.  (From the BBC 6 O'clock news). He obviously believes his delusion that we are better equipped to ride out this recession.

I very much doubt that the money will go to good use, but instead line the pockets in velvet of half the tinpot dictators out there.

And the greed is already there.

But leaders of poorer nations described the sum as inadequate.

When will Scumbag Brown realise the Legacy of debt we have bestowed on our children and grandchildren.

Old Holborn puts the blame on the middle classes. Yes, you at the back, this is your fault. Read that post and weep.

I seriously think that I may take my money and run. Surprisingly my wife agrees.

The Met Office. Hedging their bets?

If you read this article it would appear that they are making an assertion that they can't quite be as positive about their "Global Warming" stance as they would like you to believe.

Forecasters predict that the annual figure for 2010 will be 14.58C (58.24F), 0.58C (1.04F) above the long-term average of 14.0C (58.2F).

They say the combination of climate change and a moderate warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean are set to drive up temperatures next year.

The next line is interesting:

The current record record is 14.52C (58.14F), which was set in 1998.

We haven't cooled then?

Here's the caveat:

However it added: "A record warm year in 2010 is not a certainty, especially if the current El Nino was to unexpectedly decline rapidly near the start of 2010, or if there was a large volcanic eruption.

And where do they get their data from? Yes you've guessed it , CRU at the University of East Anglia.

Just testing

I just thought I would move into a more friendly blog posting system. So I'm trying out Windows live writer so bear with me for this post.

Mmm, works. Oh goody.

The world could do with more CO2, not less.

A simple little vid that shows that a higher concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere would be beneficial to plant life and therefore the biosphere. Ie, bigger plants, more animal food, more grain, etc.

Awful day, part two

Aaaaagh.

I had to take the wife Christmas shopping at Bluewater.

A Christmas Carol, The story according to Juliette.

Juliette's modern day version.

Here is a snippet from this wonderful tale. A tad depressing, but fun all the same.

'Merry Christmas, Bob Cratchit! Here's five guineas for your Christmas dinner - and don't worry about coming in to work till the twenty-eighth!'

'Oh thank you, Mr Scrooge! Merry Christmas to you too, sir!'

Ebenezer Scrooge left his office and started walking down the picturesque snowbound streets, whistling Jingle Bells.

God, he loved Christmas.

Pausing only to stop off at Asda for some emergency supplies of sugared almonds and chocolate liquers - and throw coins into the hat of some rosy-cheeked carol singers - he walked back home.
Then he froze in his tracks. For, as he unlocked his front door, the knocker suddenly turned into a ghastly and horrible face. The terrifying likeness of Bruce Forsyth, presenting a Christmas Come Dancing Festive Special.

Go on, have a giggle at the whole story

It's warmer this decade, opines BBC pravda

I really am getting fed up with what are now, not just halftruths, but downright lies. All independant reports have stressed that for the last ten years, the earth has cooled. Did you hear that BEEB? C-O-O-L-E-D.

The first decade of this century is "by far" the warmest since instrumental records began, say the UK Met Office and World Meteorological Organization.

Their analyses also show that 2009 will almost certainly be the fifth warmest in the 160-year record.

Burgeoning El Nino conditions, adding to man-made greenhouse warming, have pushed 2009 into the "top 10" years.

They really are toeing the party line aren't they?

Go on read the whole article. I'm not putting the whole lot here as my blood pressure is high enough.

Oh and bye the way, it has it's very own Hockey stick graph.

Here is the Beeb Propaganda to support dodgy science.

An awfull day

I went shopping in Oxford street with my wife.

Climategate a single issue,by no means.

The current climategate debacle has been going on for more years that I care to remember. As others have intimated, it is more about control then science.

If you have been around as long as me you will remember the scare in the 70's that we were all going to die from "Global cooling". The British public shrugged that off with the answer, "I'll just put another jumper On".

Then in the nineties it changed to "Global warming" with the IPCC political declaration that we were all doomed to be incinerated. The majority shrugged it off as "Oh goody, that will save on our energy bills."

In the mid 2000's, however, the message subtely changed to "Climate change". This was brought about by the fact that it was observed that in fact, the globe was cooling. How strange?

When you look at the figures it would appear that the whole debacle of this hysteria is controlled by only a few thousands of the population of the planet, numbering in the billions. Yes we have to take accord the research of scientists. But to take it on blind faith is akin to confirming it as a religion.

For more in depth analysis then the green snake in the grass will be better able to explain this new control over our lives.

Climategate to music

I know, I know. I shouldn't be so flippant. On the other hand, why not? It's my blog.
