The feckless head shrinks at Yale fail to understand people. Again.

"researchers found that education level was a key determinant of climate change risk perceptions in 62% of countries around the world. But all bets are off when it comes to education and views of climate change in the United States, along with a select few English speaking countries."

In other words - in countries with long experience of lying, incompetent scientists, it takes more than the unproven claims of hysterical PhDs to make them swallow yet another scare story. Researchers in one of the less credible sciences express bemusement at this effect. People with a grudge against successful countries on the other hand, believe that the US and the UK are guilty and should pay reparation and or be kicked back to the stone age. Now who would have guessed that?

Nothing new in history.

World War 2: Gas-driven cars soon reprint of article from 1939, which refers to a WW1 solution.

Dana Nuccitelli at his typical nuttiest:

Indeed, the Arctic is the fastest-warming region on Earth precisely because of the sea ice “feedback.” Melting ice decreases the reflectivity of the Arctic surface, causing it to absorb more sunlight, warm faster, and melt more ice, which causes yet further warming in a vicious cycle. There are short-term natural variability wiggles on top of the trend, but the long-term Arctic sea ice decline is indisputable.

I wonder what he thinks happens in winter, or is that a "short term natural variability wiggle"?

Thanks for that, I did not spot it at the time. Amber Rudd has been plucking rabbit after rabbit out of her hat recently in terms of sensible new policies so all she needs to do now is pull out the big white rabbit at the bottom of her handbag (just on top of her purse!) and repeal the bloody Climate Change Act hehe.

Due to the 'glut' of fracked natural gas in the USA and the lack of any plants able to liquify the gas and export it; they planned HGVs powered by gas, plus service stations on the major transport routes across the country. Seems to make sense hehe

Someone mentioned companies suing governments under the new trade treaties.
Here's the link to BBC radio prog from 2 weeks ago

yep - I was aware of that (initially the gas powered urban bus systems caught my attention) . The major industrial engine makers are now (and have been for some years) offering a range of power plants using propane / methane fueling. One question that might be asked of the perpetrators of the STOR power program in the UK is why it hasn't used gas and situated generator sites on/near major gas lines......
