Doomsday weather ....
As I was a bit rushed earlier today as I tried to get my item up, I omitted to mention the source of the items I was drawing on from An Englishman's Castle and The Edge of England's Sword, both of whom point to an article in the Washington Post.
This item is worth spending a moment reading.
And for those who will no doubt rabidly defend the Kyoto Protocol, I hope your job isn't one of the 1 million or so that the UK's slavish adherence will cost. If we continue down that route of shedding jobs and massaging the figures to hide the unemployment rises, we will soon have only the burueacrats actually working - and we should remember who actually pays their wages, and the unemployment allowances for those on the DSS. Neither are productive, and neither actually generate real jobs which produce a GDP.
Have a happy new year.
