Pick up a copy of the Listener if you get a chance. There’s a couple of letters in response to last week’s alarmist piece on climate change. One is all bluster about “facts” and oil industry funded misinformation; the other is a short and factual letter about the actual data around sea level rise.

it’s almost a microcosm of the climate blogosphere, really.

Hi Richard. Best wishes for a swift and happy diagnosis. I will be thinking of you while I watch the scene from Londonistan, UK, otherwise known afectionately as Outer Pongolia.

By the way, NSH should get with the times – internet access is a fundamental health requirement. And it is not hard to provide. I’m sure they could even get local ISP sponsorship if they put their thinking caps on. Hell, I would even supply an industrial-strength wireless access point which would flood the whole building with a hotspot, passwords changed weekly. Where is that suggestion box?

Hope you are managing to stay out of the interested gaze of student doctors! (i.e. nothing too unusual, rare or complex).

Meanwhile, the ETS shenanigans in the political arena are certainly something over which a watching brief should be kept. The backlash for Labour should be resounding. Is any MSM journalist asking “Um, …. why do we need an ETS at all? Remind me please.”

I find it amazing that no-one is asking this question: “How is it that a tax being collected to save the climate can be diverted to general industrial and commercial research and development (tax credits)? What exactly is the purpose of the ETS and where should the money be spent once the tax is gathered?”

The fact is, this is just another tax grab. Nothing more, nothing less. And it is being shown for what it is by politicians squabbling over how this new tax revenue can be spent on election promises.

Get well, RT. We need you man!
