What's that you say? Polls reveal that people still haven't been fooled into thinking that carbon dioxide will kill us all?
TURN THE ALARMISM UP TO ELEVEN!!!

I would just note, here in Switzerland, the first three months of the year had record-high amounts of snow, as even acknowledged by the national Swiss Meteo office, which loves to parrot the usual “global warming” and “end of snow” nonsense. And now they are also about to confirm that THIS month of May, which should normally grace us with mild Spring weather, is going to be more than THREE degrees Celsius below the 30-year average. Even those who love colder climates are getting fed up with this nonexistent Spring. What utter tripe.
Central Wyoming: by Thursday AM (23 May) we are expected to have accumulated some 12 centimetres of fluffy, white “global warming”. We should be in the process of planting our gardens, enjoying the warm Spring-time weather, getting ready for our annual Memorial Day (commemorates our fallen) celebrations, and instead, we’re shoveling snow.
I’m going to join Minnesotans for Global Warming (time to re-hear “I’m a Denier” — — one of their very best!) and hope that someday it might actually happen!

Today’s story from the BEEB is that sea levels MAY rise by double the amount, 2 metres instead of 1 metre, by the end of the century IF global temperatures go up by the maximum forecast.
Apparently we must put CO2 levels into reverse, i.e. back to the little ice age.

Meanwhile we have been enjoying a high pressure system with very little wind and electricity generation well below 2 GW for the past 10 days. So if we are to go fossil free by 2025, then we need to multiply the number of windmills by a factor of 10 to ensure we have a reliable supply of electricity for light, heat, cooking, transport and industry. How much CO2 will we need to make these windmills. And the batteries for backup.
It all reminds me of one of the Goon shows stories.
Certainment. Gentlemen, these boot-explosions are caused by a weakening in Britain’s deposits of Scradje.
Certainment-ment. Scradje is a substance found beneath the Earth’s surface. This Scradje radiates upwards, keeping level with the Gulf-stream and keeps the pressure on the Earth’s surface at an even level. Thus preventing boots from exploding. Unfortunately, Britain’s Scradje deposits are rapidly losing their potency. With the results that have now become apparent.
Good evening. I’m speaking to you about these boot-explosions. We, the government are doing all in our power to rectify this grave Scradje-deficiency which apparently exists. Until then, the British public must take the following precautions. To prevent yourselves exploding, remove your boots, reverse the buttons on your socks and walk backwards, holding a gas-stove above your head. I do hope this is only a temporary measure. Good night.

More BBC propaganda https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-48337629
Just … wow! First of all this was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS) which has become notorious for ‘pal review’. And it describes “a structured expert judgement study”, that is to say a bunch of ‘climate experts’ gave their opinion. It’s not even based on bad computer models. It is filtered through what ‘experts’ think it all means. What a rickety house of cards.
As usual, the findings are filtered through advocacy groups (BBC) which only tell you what the upper bound extremes are. If you look in the abstract, the 2°C projection gives a median sea-level rise of just about current levels (~3.3mm/yr). So why isn’t the headline “Scientists project that nothing much may change due to climate change”? [We know why.\
I’d like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus’s garden
In the shade.
Does no-one care about the unnecessary animal experimentation? The creatures did not all recover their sight completely. Greenies are usually the first to complain about this sort of activity.
