But quite why anyone would consider this a 'debacle' is beyond me.

There is a pattern here, it is all Green, and highly toxic.

Shock news. Sales of electric cars in Denmark drop off a cliff when government (i.e. taxpayer) subsidies are stopped. But quite why anyone would consider this a 'debacle' is beyond me.

"[Lady Worthington] ...was the brains behind the Friends of the Earth 'Big Ask' campaign, and helped the UK government launch its first public awareness campaign"

Bryony and brains don't really go together, do they.

UK Channel 5 TV news closing item yesterday evening (29042018) item suggested the Great Barrier Reef is totally "*(&^*(ed by climate change.
Anyone else catch this bit of fake news?

Here is a novel idea for legislators in the UK and EU:

"Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt has proposed to end the longstanding EPA practice of using secretive, often questionable, even deceptive science to support agency policy and regulatory initiatives. His proposed rules will ensure that any science underlying agency actions is transparent and publicly available for independent experts to examine and validate – or point out its flaws.

It also responds to growing concerns that extensive scientific research in environmental,medical and other arenas cannot be replicated by other scientists, or is compromised by cherry-picked data, poor research design, sloppy analysis or biased researchers. The situation has led to calls for increased sharing of data and methodologies, more independent peer review and other actions to weed out problems. There is no excuse for hiding data when studies are funded by taxpayers or used to justify regulations."

We need more openess by the Green Blob, detailing how they have wasted so much money, so that serial abusers can be excluded.

"Michał Kurtyka, Poland’s deputy energy minister, said that before committing to a higher ambition, the bloc needs to be sure it can follow through."

“We have to think, when evaluating our target … about the EU’s ability to deliver,” Kurtyka told POLITICO. “The EU’s legitimacy could be at stake.”

Poland is packed full of natural resources. Too many of their best designers and engineers have already departed, driven out by World Wars, and the USSR. The EU seems determined to finish Poland, whilst Germany bypasses the rules instigated by Germany

There's always RadioSpares now RS-Components, always the first port of call for a whatsit to complete a project for me 30 years ago.

I've just had half an hour of nostalgia browsing their on line catalogue, bringing back memories of going through their paper catalogue to create a Purchase Req below the amount needing upper management signature but also covering all requirements. Happy days!

What every green needs

Thank you

When the UK (which has - madly, in my opinion) done more than any other EU country in this direction, leaves the EU, they don't stand a cat in hell's chance of complying with their INDC targets. And if the few INDCs which actually commit to reductions, don't come to pass in reality, then the Paris Agreement really will prove to have been a complete waste of time and money.

She wrote the first report in the UK calling for the introduction of 'carbon budgets', was the brains behind the Friends of the Earth 'Big Ask' campaign, and helped the UK government launch its first public awareness campaign"
