"Rasik Valand, chief executive of Third Energy, said: “The permission places a great obligation on Third Energy to prove that we can carry out the test fracs in the same safe, discreet and environmentally sensitive way that we have conducted our gas exploration and energy generation activities over the past two decades.
"We are confident that we will prove to the local community that their elected representatives were right to grant this permission.
"We look forward to the results of the test fracs which will help establish whether gas can be produced from deeper and tighter rock formations at the Kirby Misperton site.”

Marr pushing alarmist dogma today
\\ Marr on ‘Start the Week’ showed himself up for what he really is, not an inquiring intellectual, not an honest journalist, not a man whose integrity is unsullied, but a man who follows the crowd, a sheep who doesn’t think for himself, who doesn’t dare stand up and say this is wrong. Intellectually, morally and professionally corrupted.
...The programme was full of contradictions that undermined their own statements on such subjects as climate change
….how many times on the programme did we hear that science was never certain, that the science should always be challenged, that people are, apparently, irrational when it comes to making decisions on ‘facts’….and yet the science of climate change is settled…or so the BBC tells us.
The programme finished with what seemed like a scripted comment tacked onto the end about the BBC’s coverage of climate change….how terrible it was that the BBC would give the same time to climate change ‘deniers’ as to real scientists….they should have one ‘denier’ and 2,000 real scientists on to represnt the reality. //

Hilary Ostrov at 12.41am. Many thanks for the link to your articles. It's all so deeply depressing, but a valuable read - I recommend them to all on here. In fact I recommend them to the world at large, but sadly it'll pass most people by,as it had passed me by until recently.
When did the UN turn from a desirable organisation trying to keep the world safe and sane into an undemocratic, world-dominating, useless, money-grabbing organisation?

Glastonbury Festival 2019 move to protect Worthy Farm - BBC News - Plans *to hold the 2019 Glastonbury Festival "at a site 100 miles from Worthy Farm" are revealed
* COULD is word used.
"Festival founder Michael Eavis said the new site would be used every five years to help the land at his farm recover"
The thing is Glastonbury has always taken breaks.
So this is not a move just instead of having a fallow year„ they are having an EXTRA one in an offsite location.

Just heard on Radio 2 that the Glastonbury Festival may have to move, to allow the land to recover. Are trendy festival goers now to be listed as toxic contaminants? A lot of the BBC go to Glastonbury, they must have some inside information on the toxic waste trail. Is it something to do with herbal cigarette ash?

Did anyone coal mines have been doing well cos coal price rose in 2016 cos China gov limited workdays to 276/yr in a bid to cut production?

Yet Times now says theoretically gov could change lawvback and prices fall.
Also they report real heavy smog in Beijing and Delhi.
They dont say that if both citiesmoved to electic cars they'd still have equal or larger smog.
