SCIENCE AND CLIMATE-SCIENCE

There is a lamentable lack of rigour and a laughable level of humbug in climate 鈥渟cience鈥�. Now that politics, obscene wealth, commerce, arms and global chicanery are all interwoven, such that we can鈥檛 even have a war without finding out that we are fighting ourselves, three times removed, the underlying (I stress lying) forces governing climate-science are as chaotic as the underlying forces of climate itself.
There is good science 鈥� over half a century old 鈥� reported on the web, that throws a whole different light on earth鈥檚 climate; indeed, on earth itself as a member of this solar system. There is no truth out there, but there IS good science to 鈥済ive the lie鈥�.

BROWN DISQUALIFIED BY NEED

Something in the character of 鈥淒esperate Brown鈥� made him NEED to be PM. (Check out his early years 鈥� revealing.) Any such person should be ruled out of holding office. It is no surprise that he can鈥檛 do the job; need like fear, drains vital force. But don鈥檛 be fooled that another Tony is the answer; he was just as needy and had no time for actually doing the job 鈥� only the need to be SEEN doing it. (The real Tony is now manifesting.)
We have all suffered, at school, in the club etc, the needy ones 鈥� desperate for status that they are ill-fitted to acquire. So it is in politics. Next time the camera pans across the benches of 鈥渉onourable鈥� members of the Commons, consider their appearance and demeanour and ask yourself: Why did the electorate choose these specimens? The answer is that they did not. Political parties PRE-CHOSE sons and daughters of their creed, planted a rosette on them, and voters ticked that rosette. Gordon rose (smelling sweet in the party air) to the top, beloved of his party; but he was only ever a rosette-stand to the voters 鈥� and now it shows. Sic transit gloria Gordon; a rosette-stand to the end. If you wish to escape from poor leaders and bad governance: SPOIL PARTY GAMES.

THE CAMPBELL DAIRIES 鈥� BUTTER WOULDN鈥橳 MELT

Alastair Campbell was on The Daily Politics today. He declared every word in his diaries is true. This led me to ponder a very frequent word therein, and wonder how an activity, used as an expletive, can ever be described as 鈥渢rue鈥�. However, I reminded myself that Mr Campbell remains the only man left on the planet, who is not inclined to describe Tony as 鈥渁ctivity Blair鈥�, so I guess one of us has suspect judgement.

Roger Harrabin's item on climate modelling was a small step in the right direction, but did not go far enough. He failed to mention that:
1. There has been no increase in global temperatures over the last 10 years, contrary to the predictions of the IPCC. This alone shows that there is something seriously wrong with the models.
2. In order to get the scary predictions, the modellers have to assume a huge positive feedback factor to multiply up the very small effect of carbon dioxide. This fact is hidden away in the IPCC reports - they don't want you to know about it.
