SHINING LIGHT ON THE CLIMATE OF MANIPULATION

Another great piece by Paul Cudanec taking a behind the scenes look at the people pulling the strings, and greasing the wheels of the Climate Crisis Brigade. I confess to once having been "a Climate Crisis Believer", but the ludicrous lockstep of governments and media in the last 4 years made me sit up and really take notice of whats going on. Whatever it is they are selling now, be

A short conversation about what governments must do to tackle climate change

  Question What would you think of a government which allows its own people to die? I’m asking as friend.   Judgement “A government which allows its own people to die?” You ponder for a moment. “I’m not exactly sure… They’d be negligent, wouldn’t they? And immoral?

Who left the oven on?

There have been many changes to our way of life since the turn of the 20’s. So much optimism for roaring 20’s parties and ambition, which quickly turned into fallen topside down melted ice creams. 2021 is the year officially, where Chocolate went from being a cupboard food, to a fridge food. The years of English people moaning about the overcast crap summers are over, almost in a painful blink

Climate Denial Arguments Explained

Woke up this morning to this, which is hardly news, but it gave me the kick I needed to follow through with a piece of my own about Climate change denial. https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/global-warming/climate-deniers/koch-industries/ Koch Industries: Secretly Funding the Climate Denial Machine   It also coincided with a First dog on The Moon piece published in the Guardian this week regarding a group of Australian youngsters and a Nun in Holy Orders
