like I say ..big official sounding name ..but one man band
"You mean like Piers Corbyn?"
.."Piers Corbyn" of WeatherAction which doesn't sound like a big official sounding name
..So I have no problem with that.
Otherwise many people like him and others like Willis on WUWT think he oversells himself by miles.
"At one time GREENWICH declared itself a Nuclear Free Zone." oblivious to thr fact that there was a trainer nuclear reactor in the Naval School there.

don't forget the UK has the capability to make small nuclear reactors in Derby. I used to live about half a mile as the crow flies from Rolls-Royce and Associates. Which was a lot less intrusive than Severn-Trent's Raynesway Wind facility.

"..governments should divert green subsidies into R&D aimed at better answers."
Good for Bill Gates, who largely seems to be spending his money on worthwhile causes like Malaria.

All this continental weather coming over here and changing our way of life.
Perhaps I should have voted UKIP.
Keep the borders safe from climate change!
Maybe I've spent too much time reading the Telegraph and Guardian alternately.

The EA whistleblower site Inside The EA has gone "off air" (DNS fails)
Some relief at the palatial Horizon House in Bristol and Millbank Tower in London if it's a permanent thing - and if it is - it'll be a shame. The EA being the epitome of a toxic, dysfunctional overspending out of control bureaucracy 'n all...
