Panic and fear close their icy tentacles round the doomed Met Office

Well at least that's one heartening interpretation of this press release which the Met Office has just sent to the Global Warming Policy Foundation. It comes from their Chief Press Officer, no less, Dave Britton.

Boris sticks his thumb in the wind

Big excitement over Boris Johnson's column today in which the sceptic-turned-warmist turns just a shade more sceptical again by wondering why Piers Corbyn does a better job of forecasting the weather than the Met Office.

Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide now!

Dihydrogen Monoxide is the most deadly and widespread pollutant on the planet, contributing hundreds of times more to global warming than all the greenhouse gases combined.

Prof Brian Cox: prettier than Brigstocke but just as wrong

Martin Durkin is a hero of mine, not just for his courage in making the first mainstream British TV programme seriously to challenge the idea of Man Made Global Warming – The Great Global Warming Swindle – but also for the equally brilliant programme he made on our eye-wateringly vast national debt, Britain's Trillion Pound Horror Story.

So I'm delighted to be able to put up a guest post of his on the subject of…

Campaign Against Climate Change: a Christmas appeal

This is the time of year when our thoughts naturally turn to those less fortunate than ourselves. We think of the mentally ill and the tragically deluded; we think of those so poor their home is a rusting, broken down 60s VW Combi with an Atomkraft Nein Danke sticker on the back, so crippled by their crazed notions of what constitutes "good" and "bad" transport that they can only travel anywhere by…

Signs that show Man Made Global Warming is Definitely Still Happening

As your boiler breaks down, your pipes freeze, your car won't start, your Ocado delivery fails to arrive, your train is cancelled, your neck is broken after slipping on black ice and you lie in an emergency ward waiting for a doctor to turn up only to learn that they're all off today because of the weather, you might be forgiven for thinking that all this has something to do with global cooling, changes in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and the decline in sunspot activity perhaps auguring a new Maunder minimum.

But you couldn't be more wrong.

Never mind the squeaky voice, Osborne: what have you got to say about THIS?

Here's an open letter to the Chancellor from Clive Francis, a reader of the Autonomous Mind blog. It's so devastatingly right (* see below) and true I think it could become a bit of an internet hit, so I'm going to reprint it here. Why not send a copy to your local MP and see how evasive his response is? (H/T Old Goat)

The Met Office: lousier than a dead octopus

"Why did we slide into chaos?" asks the front page of today's Telegraph. It was prompted by the wrath of Transport Secretary Philip Hammond who apparently can't understand why it is that Britain has been caught out – yet again – by snowy weather.

Cancun suffers its final indignity: a visit from 'Two Jags' Prescott

John 'Two Jags' Prescott – Lord Prescott to his valet and also to the maitre d' at his local Hull branch of McDonalds as he ushers him obsequiously to his private booth – is flying off to Cancun to help boost the event's carbon footprint. Perhaps there is some other purpose to his visit too. Perhaps it has something to do with his fancy new title The Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly Rapporteur…

CAFOD – where your money goes…

Some of my best friends are Catholics, including at least two of my very favouritest bloggers. So no I don't agree with Lord and Lady Whiteadder on Blackadder II that "Cold is good. Cold is God's sign that we should burn more Catholics"…
