The UK government are to spend £50m of public money on experiments to dim the sun - despite that sunshine is required for photosynthesis (to grow things) and also to capture carbon. Yet, they are also spending £30bn on machines to capture carbon. Mindbogglingly ridiculous.

Renewables don't risk blackouts, said the media. But they did and they do. The physics are simple. And now, as blackouts in Spain strand people in elevators, jam traffic, and ground flights, it's clear that too little "inertia" due to excess solar resulted in system collapse.

This is truly bananas: all of Europe appears to have been seconds away a continent-wide blackout. The grid frequency across continental Europe plunged to 49.85 hertz — just a hair above the red-line collapse threshold. The normal operating frequency for Europe’s power grid

Her husband was the greatest deporter in U.S. presidential history - kicking out 3m+ people in 8yrs. Did THAT keep her up at night?

Anna Hall's new documentary gets 5 stars. Powerful voices like Jayne Senior MBE PHF, Marlon S West (Scarlett’s Dad), and Chantelle — a survivor I've interviewed with support from Maggie Oliver — will share their stories tonight in Groomed: A National Scandal. Necessary viewing. dailymail.co.uk/tv/article-146…

The Labour government have financially punished pensioners, farmers, small businesses and the disabled but spaff away £11.6 billion of our tax money on overseas climate aid. Absolutely ridiculous.
