With the UK announcing its new farming support stance (support for nature, less so for food production) and EU governments in hot pursuit of the WEF-UN Agenda 2030 Climate Change narrative and provoking lively protests from their farming communities, now sounds like a good time for us to review the likely effects on our UK food supply and prices.

Brexit Watch have opened this debate with a review of the way things are going...

"... as the UK is presently facing a ‘cost-of-living-crisis’ which includes higher food prices, then surely it should be a good thing the UK will have ample supplies of food, if not fuel, from countries unaffected by the present supply-chain disruptions in Europe?"

"... with fuel shortages, drought (yes, the EU has a water shortage as well), high fertiliser prices and

Whilst one may be a supporter of Net Zero if one considers the need to be proven and the promoters (the WEF-UN partnership) to be trustworthy, one may also suspect that governments and "public-private-partnerships" could be used to funnel public cash into private pockets via payment for bogus services, possibly via short-lived limited liability companies.

Indeed, given the size of some of these contracts it's quite hard to see how such large sums could otherwise be spent to so little effect.

So if the Net Zero scam can be purposed to bring more clarity (and hopefully integrity) to the opaque world of the award of public contracts, then in principle one should support that.

Must we add yet another layer of global crime to those of which we are already only too well aware?

Harsh weather events have been no strangers in recent times to Australia, California, Texas, France, Portugal, and many other places no doubt.

This year Europe seems to have been the target of diminished rainfall to the point that the river Rhine is so low that commercial carrying is becoming impracticable, and no doubt the vineyards are praying for rain (although not too much!).

Now it seems likely that such events as drought and flooding may be being used to ensure minimal to zero harvests in various parts of the world (perhaps in an effort to make insects seem palatable to us?).

This article concerning the emissions of volcanic CO₂ takes on the emissions from the IPCC climate consensus that volcanic CO₂ is but a tiny fraction of man's CO₂.

That may be a long way from the truth, given that volcanic emissions have been calculated on the basis only of eruptions, whereas plenty of emissions occur outside the scope of erupting volcanoes - volcanic vents and geysers, and even, as the Greeks may attest, ancient oracles all emit volcanic gases more or less all the time, and of course we shouldn't omit to include the emissions from climate zealots that insist that "WE ARE ALL GUILTY!" whenever their pet theories (AKA "consensus science") are challenged.

Now it is problematic to distinguish volcanic CO₂ from fossil CO₂  since it seems that these share the identical isotopic fingerprint (ie: they are identical!) so once released into the atmosphere they cannot be told one from the other.

What's not to like?

The European governments have driven themselves into this cul de sac simply by their knee-jerk reaction to Russia's activities in the Ukraine - activities that should have been predictable given the history of that region.

The UK may be outside the worst of it for now but if we keep stoking the flames of war by sending ever more arms to Zelenskyy (which he may be using to shell a nuclear power plant!), we won't be outside for long.

There is no reason (other than paranoid NATO generals and a corrupt-beyond-belief US administration) to continue this war - we should be pressuring Zelenskyy to sue for peace on the basis of self-determination for the regions involved. The UK acknowledged this principle when we gave the Scots their IndyRef - we have no cause to prolong this war further and it is demonstrably not in our or Europe's

• Reducing collisions
• More opportunities to walk or cycle
• Improved health and well-being
• Safer streets
• Safeguarding the environment

So what could all this be about?

"Reducing emissions from transport requires fundamental change that reaches deep into society and the lives of individuals"

And there I was thinking that if we all bought electric cars the emissions would cease... apparently not.

Of course, if we all have to drive around in 3rd gear, we know that from past experiments with 20 mph limits (and speed humps) that the emissions will go up due to the inefficiency of the infernal combustion engine at higher rpm (although those few who can afford to drive electric vehicles may indeed use

From a chemtrail-doubter comes a fresh look at weather-modification in general - from those who basically admit to it.

Of course, it would seem that there are also those who may not admit to it... but that topic is for a different article.

From a straightforward if possibly incomprehensible kind of guy, his surprise is what really took my attention.

Birds dying? Must be Bird Flu!

So is the absence of bees down to Bee Flu? 

Is the fact that one can drive from one end of the country to the other without incurring insect-splat all over the windscreen just a minor aberration in the state of nature, when in my youth insect-splat was a confounded and inevitable nuisance which required special cleaning methods? Perhaps there is some marvel of modern science that unremarked scientists have devised to obliterate the erstwhile i-splat?

Or perhaps we have now through our ill-considered motoring habit splatted all the insects into submission and there are too few left to notice? Are electric cars the answer?

Whilst Big Pharma may have been unaccountably slow to offer vaccines for the birds and the bees (come on Marketing, pull your socks up!), it seems there might be some other explanation for the mostly unreported deaths that are afflicting colonies of migratory

As always, when governments "panic" they induce catastrophe, when they conduct a proper balanced investigation of all the options they stand a chance of convincing a reasoning public of the necessity, of agreeing a proposed way forward, and indeed of setting in motion a process that has wide support and should succeed.

For really major issues which affect the population's way of life, a referendum to permit the public to be informed of the options, and to choose between them, might well be considered essential where the future impact would outlast the tenure of the current government.

Such was surely the fundamental case for the Brexit referendum, even if it was never stated as such. After all, that would be an alarming precedent for any politician who likes to think that they are there to boss us around...

Going down the referendum route requires a level of humility that eludes many, perhaps most, politicians in a

As we contemplate the approaching heatwave (don't panic! It's summertime and it's perfectly natural), a little light entertainment in my inbox is welcome, especially if it doesn't involve the contortions of our body politic with which, for reasons which elude me totally, many do still seem to like to torture themselves by following, endlessly discussing, and hopelessly grouching about, without any notion of actually putting an end to it.

So it may seem unlikely that I am amused by a newsletter about climate change which does indeed touch briefly upon the machinations of our political leadership (UK and elsewhere), whilst pointing up some inconvenient facts from the historical record which the climate fact-checkers seem to have unaccountably overlooked - and all done with lighthearted good humour!

Perhaps it really does take a war to concentrate the mind.

Human beings tend to follow their habits and rightly so - if it works don't change it. Habit enables us to navigate the daily routine without applying a great deal of thought to the process.

The problem with that of course, is that when the process becomes inappropriate, the tendency is to continue as per established habit, which no longer produces the required result. 

Rethinking established habits is hard work though, and we are not in general well disposed to volunteer for the task - and when the habit is a group-think affair, getting the group to rethink is an order of magnitude more difficult than just having one person do the rethinking. Now add in everybody's differing vested interests and we can see that the agreed way forward may be tricky to iron out.

We've all seen the jet trails in the sky that somehow spread into a haze across huge areas.

They are not condensation trails - those quickly evaporate in most conditions.

Our government has denied (2020) that they are are involved:

"The government is not deploying SRM, and has no plans to do so"

- but that rather begs the question: "who is doing it, and why?" and maybe "why are you so unconcerned?"

Water has one oxygen atom, peroxides have two, and now trioxides which have three have been discovered to exist in our atmosphere, at least temporarily, under some conditions.

But before we press the panic button, blame chemtrail aerosols, or otherwise jump to incorrect conclusions:

"These compounds have always been around -- we just didn't know about them"

Huh? If you didn't know about them, how can you say they were always around? Maybe they were, but maybe this observation isn't science.

"But the fact that we now have evidence that the compounds are formed and live for a certain amount of time means that it is possible to study their effect more targeted and respond if they turn out to be dangerous"

... when first we practise to deceive.

This article from the AIER concerns the misuse of regulation to impose rules and laws made for a different purpose altogether to force corporations to comply with what amounts to little more than the personal preferences of the regulators (or others in positions of authority).

Nobody voted for this form of coercion, yet it seems to have become a favoured way to sidestep democratic accountability by others both within and without the USA.

For example, who can forget Mark Carney of the Bank of England forecasting that those companies that did not embrace the "climate change" narrative would be bankrupted?

The AIER draws attention to a not dissimilar situation within the USA:

It is something that most climate scientists don't much investigate, but CO₂ is not the most significant factor in heat conservation and may not be the primary factor in global warming.

Everybody noticed (or used to before they started living inside when the ambient temperature outside drops to uncomfortable levels), clear and starry nights are cold and dry whilst cloudy nights are relatively warm since clouds block terrestrial heat radiation. Likewise cloudy days are relatively cold because the warm sunshine cannot penetrate the cloud layer too well.

Yes, water in the form of cloud cover is acknowledged (even by scientists) to have a greater effect on ambient temperature than CO₂.

So how do the climate scientists factor in the possible variation in cloud cover over the last century?

I'm sure it's an idea

Dane Wiggington over at GeoEngineering Watch has been plugging away at this topic for a long time.

And he does seem to be onto something - our skies are not clear as they should be, but partially obscured by particulates very apparently sprayed by aircraft.

It's hard to imagine that this might be taking place without at least the tacit agreement of our governments - those very same governments that are so determined to demonise diesel cars for their particulate emissions.

So is this spraying justified in order to save the planet from overheating? After all, killing a percentage of the population by means of respiratory disease might be justified if it protects the ultimate survival of humanity - right?

Well, maybe wrong. Dane highlights a new angle on this topic which would turn the whole rationale for such geoengineering activities on its head.

If we listen to a
