While Developing world can leapfrog direct to mobile phones from nothing
... when it comes to ENERGY they shouldn't foolishly leapfrog to pixie renewables like wind/solar, but should go to proper old style RELIABLE energy infrastructure,

"The statement that women tend to get paid less then men is true though."
- What about if you include their daughter's salaries ?
...Especially when the daughters job posts were not openly advertised ? #MET-O-nepotism

Well I guess it just goes to show that you cannot trust the BBC to investigate and report properly and you cannot trust a trade union like Prospect. But we knew that already.

I have no idea where the figures suggesting £70k come from, but it's not representative at all. Check the list of current vacancies, which I think are a fairly good representative sample of current roles & salaries - for most of them the upper end is less than half of that figure (and I think it's rare for people to be anywhere near the top of the range for their role).

SandyS I follow the web page below, it shows lake temperature and ice cover. A few days ago it did almost entirely freeze over but it's cleared partially now.

The lakes have been very slow to freeze this year but are close to freezing point now. Erie is the shallowest so it has the potential to freeze quite quickly. Ice total seems unlikely to be anything but very low this year.

Phillip Bratby,
OMG don't know how we will survive the day.....
Joking aside there is a real need for equal pay between the sexes and of course the obvious way to solve the problem would be to privatise the MO and allow it to set it's own pay structure. I'm sure that all of the Exeter staff would of discussed this option with vigor and recommended it to their union representation.

Does anyone know how accurate this is?
60% of Lake Erie Freezes in Two Days with Record Snow and Cold in Canada | Mini Ice Age 2015-2035
There is an agenda to sell a survivalist book behind the video but I hadn't seen much in the MSM and wondered just how unusual it was, seeing as how scare-mongering isn't limited to warmists. The ice may just be mush created by the snow as much as the cold? Either way it is quite interesting.

Met Office weather forecasters on strike today over a 10% (£7k) gender pay gap. £70k/year (plus all the perks) seems an awful lot of money to pay for such an abysmal product. See Met Office weather staff on strike over gender pay gap

Tip from fretslider over on notalotofpeopleknowthat
If you missed today’s Infinite Monkey Cage on BBC R4, it’s a must listen.
The climate change guest was so appalling bad – and unchallenged.
The boy Cox stated that a sceptic denies the climate changes.
