Hadn't read your Memorandum 36 submittal before, and reckon it fully earns its place in perpetuity in HMG's parliamentary archive, regardless of whatever the committee publish next week.
I think homebase are selling paint with 15% off this week, they might have a run on White.
Oh boy got to have this put to bed before the May(?) world meet-up in Mexico City don't they.
The hoax is running out of time. Why just today the cow fart folks folded their tent.
I wonder if they hired Tom Sawyer to paint the Climategate fence. As I said elsewhere, we need to move up the AGW food chain to find the big fish in this scandal. Sounds like they are doing the "cut off" used by spies and evil doers in fiction.
yesterday i posted the following funding request on a previous thread:
24 March: BusinessGreen: "Mad scientist" talks up geo-engineering vision
Leading contributor to IPCC report calls for increased support for geo-engineering research, reveals European Research Council is considering funding pledge
The Royal Society produced a major report on the topic last autumn, which concluded that while geo-engineering would not provide a "silver bullet" for tackling climate change, it could play a key role and as such the government should invest £10m a year in geo-engineering research...

last night, tax-payer funded ABC TV, Australia, had the following. except for mentioning Jo Haigh was one of the geoengineering-panel scientists, ABC did not mention her other credentials, especially not her IPCC role:
Jo Haigh, Head of the Department of Physics, Imperial College, London, and Lead Author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Third Assessment. She is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and of the Royal Meteorological Society (see http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/newsandeventspggrp/imperialcollege/naturalsciences/physics/newssummary/news_18-11-2008-10-47-20?nesid=49494 )
25 March: ABC TV Australia: Cartalyst: Geoengineering
It sounds completely crazy, but here in London geoengineering has taken on a new credibility. Its ideas have been seriously investigated by no less than the Royal Society...
This is its headquarters in London. And one of the geoengineering panel scientists, Professor Jo Haigh, gave me the official tour...
But back to geoengineering. Why would the Royal Society get involved?
Prof Jo Haigh: Well the Royal Society has been involved much more in the policy angle over the last few years and it's been particularly interested in climate and climate change...
Prof Jo Haigh: I think thats the number one message is that we should do everything that we can to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
NARRATION: Let's hope, to save the world, we don't have to use our last resort.

biased-bbc blog: CONSPIRACY?
B-BBC has already established that the BBC World Service Trust is an organisation that exists mainly to spread climate change lies. Now, the redoubtable EU Referendum has gone a very important step further. The so-called trust is a founding partner of a body called COMplus, which describes itself as a "diverse global alliance of organisations committed to scaling-up the impact of sustainable development communications through partnership and collaboration." Thus the BBC is a prime mover in shadowy - but highly organised - international efforts to foist the greenie ethos upon us all. To add insult to injury, COMplus, surprise, surprise, is funded by your money, via the Department for International Development (and of course through WST itself)....

meant to add this quote from the biased-bbc piece:
"It's no coincidence that men like snout-in-trough and ultra Blairite Stephen Byers are also involved as one of the main cheerleaders for COMplus."

The Cantwell-Collins plan is almost exactly what Mr. Obama proposed in the campaign and after first taking office — a 100 percent auction of permits and a large tax rebate to the public.
“He called our bill ‘very elegant,’ ” Ms. Cantwell said. “Simplicity and having something people can understand is important.”

So after getting elected, why is it that Obama is no longer looking at this option seriously, which is a much more taxpayer friendly option? Is it because he and his banker buddies won’t be able to make as much money from gullible taxpayers?
