Stop it. Stop the effrontary on my visual sense by filling the Herald with rubbish.That the paper should be full of Jim Salinger's efforts of yesterday is no real surprise but it makes it no less palatable. We have been down this road before but I am afraid that we will have to traverse it many more times before the terminally stupid wake up. This is all crap. It is all computer modelling and is being presented as fact. Climate is a collection of lots of weather. Computer modelling of weather twenty four to forty eight hours out (and that is what weather forecasting as we commonly know it is) is notoriously unreliable and yet we are being told to believe predictions that stretch decades or centuries into the future. On top of this we are told to believe that all this fairy story doom and gloom is due to man's interfernce in the climate. We are told that this is so because a 'consensus' of scientific opinion says so. Well I'm sorry it doesn't work like this. Scince doesn't have consesnus, it has facts. Politics has consensus. Might there be a hint to the truth right there? Look, you stupid, stupid, people man couldn't change the climate of the whole planet if he tried. Enough of this, onto something else.
There is a piece on the comments page decrying the amount of medicine that is prescribed that is not backed by evidence as being efficacious. National Irony Day. This in the same piece of newsprint that announces that we will spending great globs of my tax dollar on the unproven predicitons of the politically driven IPCC. I am going to get really cross about all this soon and that is not good for me. I spent a very pleasant hour or two last night trying to understand common rail diesel technology and I think I'll stick to that.
An editorial today just emphasises the crock that is the state funding of political parties that Mr Rockhopper and I spent some time on yesterday. It well sets out the reasoning behind this popular instrument of left wing politicians and is worth reading on that score alone. This must not be allowed to happen and I don't think it will. If it does it won't be all bad as it will bang the final nail in this dreadful administation's coffin. They can't keep shafting us indefinitely and expect us not to notice. September 2008 is creeping ever closer and the nearer these travesties are to that date the better. How many ways do I hate you? let me count. Retrospective legislation, Philip Field, smacking, legalisation of prostitution, state funding of politics, Kyoto, carbon neutrality...........
