Wasn’t sure where to post this… Very surprised you have not commented on the recent Mann/Wilson discussions… I remember you saying you weren’t feeling well recently but I hope you are just traveling and/or busy. Does anyone know?

That would have made a great Monty Python sketch.
It’s a shame that “Great” Britain has come to that.

Although in America, I would hope that there would be a tremendous revolution if we ever had to pay for a license for each television we had. People here don’t seem to mind voting for people that give us 10% unemployment, trillion dollar deficits, onerous EPA regulations that stifle economic growth, but get freaked out if their bank charges them for ATM withdrawals.

I know this is completely off topic but I am in need of some expert help relating to obtaining some old emails from a government dept here in New Zealand. They say they cannot find them but I am sure they are evading our request and I need some help. Anyone?

Sadly this is the emerging operating procedure in many areas of discussion:
One side continues to dig and and identify problems with the consensus, which at one time was a respected activity.
Those interested in defending the consensus simply ignore the critiques and move forward.
The BBC is not doing anything the American, Canada and Australian media have done for many years.
They are working to make certain no other voices are heard on the topic of climate than that of the consensus.

Yes, there were many demanding that George Entwistle should resign, after a few weeks in the post, when he could have had precious little influence on things either way. I was always suspicious of those voices. This news, if true, hardly reassures.

Hiding behind Chatham House rules is a trick used but the Common Purpose organisation. CPUK. Initials strangely redolent of the party with the red flag and hammer and sickle.
