London is attracting attention from the Canadians, who have noted a new way for UK citizens to keep warm this winter.
Our governments' serial inability to manifest anything without prodigious and ever-rising expenditure always (unless Big Pharma stand to make the biggest "killing" of all time) delivered after ever more delays and cost extensions, doesn't imply that that which they manifest will actually work.
Indeed, the green revolution could have been designed not to work, and is now being shown all across Europe not to work as coal plants are being fired up across the continent (a humiliation the UK only avoided by demolishing most of them ahead of time) in a rearguard action to avoid widespread deaths from freezing.
Still, we in the UK are preserved by the Gulf Stream, which usually ensures that temperatures don't fall very much below freezing - unlike Canada where 30 degrees below is the winter norm.
So should we build yet more (heavily subsidised) wind farms and solar panels?
Is any cost too high to "save the planet" when the UK's contribution to global anthropogenic CO2 production is an insignificant fraction of the whole, which in turn is dwarfed by wholly natural emissions, and a 1.5oC temperature rise doesn't actually seem either unattractive or particularly noticeable in the normal scale of weather fluctuations?
