Stewgreen: Mr McGrath continues to show how out of touch with science he is, when he reiterates the idiotic Supreme Court ruling that CO2 is a pollutant and a danger to health. As any fule kno, CO2 is necessary to life; being so needed by life, how can it be a danger to health, in the concentrations of which we are talking?

Mr Pruitt is very right to be angry, irrespective of his skin colour, when he sees such utter stupidity enshrined within the laws of his own country.

Meanwhile in Westminster the Environmental Audit Committee are busying themselves with some rearrangement of chairs and cups - your taxes at work

Cardboard cup levy, bottle schemes and wall to wall busybody activists

H/T MarkH on the main thread about Football Lasts demo post

#BiasedBBC woud say referring to Obama as “just another angry BLACK man” is racist
but they use “just another angry WHITE man” as a racist slur against Scott Pruit
in this article on on rolling back of the Clean Power Plan (Clean Energy Scam)
It both smears @EPAScottPruitt & gives last TAKE words to activist

" – this is a link to a PhD students survey on climate change.
Could you help him get some feedback by putting it on your blog?"
(following link leads to )

Climate Change Perception, Reaction and Engagement in the United Kingdom and the Crown Dependencies
(strange title : I suspect either a foreigner wrote it or is it something to do with Commonwealth funding etc.
furthermore the title has been clipped
prior to Oct 11th ended "the case of youth participation"
another blog pointed out he couldn't be researching youth cosalso says " it follows all the Data Protection Laws, and only over 18 year olds can complete it")

"I am carrying out a research project at Northumbria University, looking at people’s perception, reaction and engagement towards climate change within the United Kingdom.
There is a consensus within the scientific community that current climate change is as a result of human activity.
(dingaling frames the issue)
Cook et al. (2013) argues that the majority of published academic literature supports the idea of human-made climate change.
(yes well it's bullshit research by a cartoonist climate maniac)

"However, the level of acceptance amongst the public is much lower.
This lower levels of perception that human-made climate change is occurring, results in fewer people both reacting and engagement with climate change and its effects.
(Strange wording, cos only alarmists pretend that the natural state is steady steady climate

Therefore, this questionnaire will look at the levels of understanding and reaction of the public towards climate change. The findings of the research will be written up in my Doctoral Thesis and other future publications.
(ie he's only a graduate right now, no university expert)

(note the error in the hyphenation of his name)
Twitter bio "23, Middlesbrough,UK. Support Toronto Maple Leaf (NHL), Sebastian Vettel (F1) & Boro (Football).
PhD Researcher in Climate Change
& President of @NUDisasterSoc"(To enhance and support the learning outcomes of the field of Disaster Management and Sustainable Development at Northumbria University ..use of "sustainable" makes them seem loonies )
I expect he's a big denier-shouter but his tweeter feed is clean
Contradiction is he tweets about Gas guzzling F1
..and also Australian BOM propaganda

He doesn't tweet a lot ..note the year paradox here
"Oct 1 LucozadeEnergy I will not buy any more of your drinks until you change them back to full sugar. The taste is horrific!(A consumer of 20yrs)"

"Apr 27 @LucozadeEnergy been drinking your drinks for over 15 years. I will not buy another until you return the full sugar. The new one taste foul!"

aha he did a similar survey back in April
similar survey back in April

Hiccup at Kobe Steel:

FinancialTimes:

Corporate Japan’s reputation takes another blow after false certification comes to light
"Kobe Steel is Japan’s third-biggest steelmaker and also makes aluminium and copper products."

Very strange that sustainable solar is so cheap, that it is advertised as "free", but still nobody wants it.

Trump could buy any unwanted solar panels, and give them to the UN, instead of cash. The UN, IPCC and Lord Stern have fabricated the science and economics to manufacture the glut of unwanted solar panels, so Trump could ask them to demonstrate their reliability.

German "tourists" in Greece during the 1940s, left a lot of scars, which have been passed down to the younger generations.

Blaming the EU and hence Germany for their financial mess provides further excuse, for not paying taxes.
