Shame on you 10:10. No pressure indeed!

This parody video sums you up.

I’ve told you so.

All this green energy is going to cost you even more than you thought..

Households will have to pay an extra £60 in bills to cover the cost of connecting windfarms and other renewable energy sources to the National Grid, the industry regulator warned today.

Energy bills will almost certainly have to increase to make Britain's ageing national electricity and gas networks “fit for purpose” in the era of climate change, according to Ofgem.

I’ve written before about the Operation and maintenance costs before. Here, here, and here

Now of course with those pesky wind farm not delivering a steady output (If any output at all), we will have to build a smart grid to match.

It says about £32 billion needs to be spent on modernising the networks over the next decade, more than twice the amount invested in the past 20 years.

And don’t forget the increased maintenance cost of all these new power lines in out of the way, exposed places.

Downfall 1010

 

I wonder how many other versions there will be?

What about someone making one of the Cull of the board of 1010 for making that film?

A bit of timely light relief for a Sunday Eve.

Hurrah. The economy has been saved!

The staple food of many students, Pot Noodles, is proving to be a mainstay of the recession.

I’m obviously not doing my bit for the economy as I can’t stand the things.

Unilever spokesman Tom Denyard said Pot Noodle sales were an indicator of consumer confidence.

No Tom. I think I’d rather trust the FTSE if you don’t mind.

1010- No pressure. Apology?

You decide

Sorry

We missed the mark with today's 'No Pressure' video, and have removed it from our website

1 Oct 10

Today we put up a mini-movie about 10:10 and climate change called 'No Pressure’.

With climate change becoming increasingly threatening, and decreasingly talked about in the media, we wanted to find a way to bring this critical issue back into the headlines whilst making people laugh. We were therefore delighted when Britain's leading comedy writer, Richard Curtis - writer of Blackadder, Four Weddings, Notting Hill and many others – agreed to write a short film for the 10:10 campaign. Many people found the resulting film extremely funny, but unfortunately some didn't and we sincerely apologise to anybody we have offended.

As a result of these concerns we've taken it off our website. We won't be making any attempt to censor or remove other versions currently in circulation on the internet.

We'd like to thank the 50+ film professionals and 40+ actors and extras and who gave their time and equipment to the film for free. We greatly value your contributions and the tremendous enthusiasm and professionalism you brought to the project.

At 10:10 we're all about trying new and creative ways of getting people to take action on climate change. Unfortunately in this instance we missed the mark. Oh well, we live and learn.

Onwards and upwards,

Eugenie, Franny, Lizzie and the whole 10:10 team

Looks to me like they’re not that apologetic.

And I can guess that they come from the Notting Hill set. Judging by their names. (I may be wrong)

If you haven’t seen the video it can be found HERE

1010 No pressure

They can’t hide it from everyone. Here is this despicable, child indoctrinating film again.

H/T to TheRedacted

No Pressure video is now private

Here’s the trailer about the making of it.

 

Disgusting

And that’s all I’m going to say. Except  that to openly support execution in the cause of your green religion is unbelievably, the product of a very sick mind.

UPDATE: They’ve closed the comments on Youtube.

Postcard of an AGW future

I despair. I really do.

There’s a competition in the Metro in which you can send in your photo shopped postcard depicting London in the grip of climate change.

Paddy fields in London, Don’t make me laugh.

This is what I’ll send in

Just a sample pic, as I’ll need lots more mobile cranes to hang Greens, Politicians, AGWs’, carbon credit consortia, and all others who are peddling this travesty of science.

Remind me tomorrow to buy shares in caterpillar and other crane manufacturers.

I do have futures in piano wire.
