The madness of Rishi Sunak.

The Office of Prime Minister has been tragically degraded by yesterdays screeching U-turn by hopeless Prime Minister Sunak. He has no idea how his slithering words sound so phoney on this un-needed un-debated climate about-turn. Wow!

What mattered/ matters is we have momentum for improving our carbon footprint, with Sunaks disastrous meddling yesterday the pace of march for reduction of carbon footprint will have surely slackened. We have many people onboard to get the right things done (or did have). He certainly is tone deaf and much distanced from ‘ornery folk, how ironic as the reason for this new position is incredibly his supposed empathy with the ordinary people, his concern for them, his desire to ‘help’. Must be excellent to know as a tenant of some awful crumby rental Sunak no longer requires minimum standards for insulation! Remember he is upper caste Asian, his mind sees society different from that of say near all UK citizens.

I am sickened. Car companies must have spent many millions, worked very hard, mindful of the Governments schedule, this must feel like a stab in the back. Why shld they ever trust the Govt again, why should they seriously consider the UK for any new investments, already we were amazingly ‘hanging-on’ after the effects of Brexit, now one wld assume we they will be waving goodbye.

Rishi Sunak always struck me as a very capable Head Boy, moving behind the scenes, in and out of the Headmasters office, destined for great things, but there is MUCH that he is blind toward and has no intentions of becoming aware of, never mind concerned. Look at all the stoppages and protests of many kinds, he is totally indifferent, can offer a few words of soundbite but dismissive and ineffectual.

Theres too many Asians of the wrong sort in the Cabinet, they back each other up, they do not have a reliable or appropriate sense of critical thinking, they will push forward any offensive or crazy plan if it suits them. Surely the madness of Rwanda deportation (what difference to that of being sent to Siberia) and the hopeless barge are prime examples. Cheap, makeshift, unable to engineer anything with integrity or moral value. We need workers as we have shut off our supply from the EU, rather than treating migrants as handicapped lets get them integrated and contributing.

Goodness, one couldn’t have made this up, to transition from Truss to Sunak. I’d wondered why I’d hear her a couple of days previously on the news, I know this sounds mad but are they somehow trying to prove 2+2=3?

I shudder to think how protesters will now direct their energies, Sunak has fanned the flames of disobedience and fired up their energies with yesterdays illogical and stupid climate about-turn. I personally wish the protestors wouldn’t stop traffic etc as it is no.10 itself that needs to see this passion and commitment, as with all stoppages and unrest Sunak et al are totally and willingly oblivious.

One good thing (the irony) of Sunaks crazy U-turn on climate is that the subject/ problem and task in hand is much bigger than pip-squeak Sunak, he’s thrown away any credibility he might have had and I wld assume cannot wait for another general election (or maybe even a resignation, he couldn’t care less) … so as to be able to disappear back into private business and finance.

Biden opens way to geo-engineering.

Surprise surprise, geo-engineering is now being openly sanctioned through the front door instead of being a covert operation (ask any California resident) and the object of ridicule.

Its a nice sensation being proved right, but then again I always knew I was right re lines in the sky ie chemtrail and their deposition of nano-particle aluminium. In other words we will now be applying a crude sticking plaster with foregone side-effects that will strike horror into any health stats professional.

Do I feel good about being ‘right’ … not really as theres many things i pursue and cultivate on what would be seen as a solitary path. I do not need the kudos of the unseen general populace. Its a shame ‘sheeple’ move as they do.

I think someone somewhere needs to apologise to all those California residents that lost everything in wildfires which in my opinion were exacerbated from chemtrail nano-particle aluminium. I’m not a scientist but I’m not stupid.

Postscript, sorry to be Mr Nihilist but basically theres too many of us. We shld have had a one child policy decades ago. The motor car has become our god, far too many people are ‘dedicated consumers’ … quite ugly to see. It was only three generations ago most people lived close to work and walked there, most people did not have the development of any commuter framework.

I don’t know how we can make the adjustment, our footprint on this planet does not earn us any Brownie Points with God or whatever. I try my best however piddling it is, but then it all rests with the individual to set an example (admittedly chaff to the wind compared to the electrical demands of industry and the web) however I must be doing something correct here at the hacienda, to ‘upset people’ I need only mention my combined gas and electric bill during the winter months!

Are plants growing taller this year?

Since mid spring I’ve guessed my garden plants are growing taller, bluebells seem taller, daffodills, as does Leucojum (spring snowflake) tulips too but what prompted me to log in and write a quick post re garden plants seemingly taller this year was seeing a few minutes ago the burgeoning and soon to flower Aqueliga in my garden, definitely taller.

This apparent phenomena has bugged me for a couple of months now. Fertiliser or nitrogen has not been applied, other than a dressing of fish blood and bone which I do twice a year anyway. We know that with inc CO2 initially things will grow bigger, it acts as a nitrogen feed but after a certain point is the enemy of growing plants, soft useless growth and eventually the plant is strangled so to speak. Realise combined plant/tree demise and the loss of ocean algae ie diatoms will be the end of us, this is a truism, undeniable planetary mechanics and interactions of this beautiful chemistry set called planet Earth. Its an incredibly fortunate and harmonious mix we have of atmospheric gases and things (and us) that can function in such a scenario. Luck or God, I’m not sure and increasingly plumb for the latter.

As is usual the scientists seem behind the curve, theres only so many waking hours and googling for things is increasingly my less preferred activity.

Satellite imagery deletes chemtrail.

I’d had an inkling this can happen and the image here for south of England and English Channel chemtrail 15th Feb 2023 ie yesterday really does eliminate the data I would like to have been able to view.

The image below on NASA Worldview terra/Modis setting is a huge amount of chemtrail activity, remember this is a snapshot in time not a rolling update (as far as I am aware). On the day of the event other filters can take several hours before the image reveals itself. One wonders if some sort of ‘cleaning up’ is happening.

In the chemtrail sat imagery below at right I would say its ALL chemtrail activity. Easy to do actually as if you click on to something like flightradar24 the sky is absolutely full of aircraft activity. I cannot believe this can be explained away as ‘ice crystals’ or upper atmosphere reaction to aircraft engine exhaust. Surely it points to a decision being made to on this time and day to add this sky whitening effect deliberately. In the future chemtrail sky whitening will have to be formally introduced as we will lose a lot of existing weather pattern/ cloud formation. If the upper ‘cloud decks’ that roll in from the Pacific which protect the complete run of west coast north and south America disappear as Guy McPherson over on http://www.arctic-news.blogspot then it will entail a catastrophic temperature rise, this trigger will be increased CO2 and remember the increasing and inevitable methane release being much more potent than CO2 (short term x200 and x1000 say if talking in weeks) … means basically we are snookered.

Into the mix and I haven’t actually read this stated as such at least cannot recall anyone mentioning the fact that as CO2 and methane increase there will / must be a corresponding decline in the CO2 cycle as plankton ie diatoms disappear from the oceans, it is only recently that scientists are admitting its probable that diatoms are responsible for half the worlds breathable oxygen. A tragic irony as 70% of the worlds oil and gas is derived from ancient diatom deposits.

Diatoms gone = marine food chain inoperable.

Diatoms gone = every other breath of oxygen no longer available.

Postscript re climate change.

There will no doubt be massive fires, huge loss of oxygenating plant life and I hate to say it as I wish no-one any harm a rise in tectonic activity / re-adjustment of plates. Again …. snookered! One could say that whoever devised this bundle of skin and bone to functioning systems will probably now be disgusted at where we have arrived. The human race and Organised Capital demands progress which as in the standard Western Model is now a complete system of achieving so called ‘success’ but how else can it be, there is an obsession (with organised capital) of innovation, growth, market share. Often I feel the unethical grab of obscene profit margin or mark-up can never be justified, to my mind there should be a regulatory guidance to permissable profit margin, likewise my detestation of ‘ornery folk turning themselves into IR35 Ltd Co’s and opting out of paying fair taxes is detestable, a swinging cop-out, but thats another subject. I’m unsure of the figures but we’ve walked upright since five or seven million years ago and its only three hundred years of a modern activity for us to upset the chemistry set and physical interactions of this world to turn itself against us. I don’t normally write in this manner but the realisation of the very simple cross-over CO2 / CH4 and O graph that seems not to be alluded to elsewhere really does set us in a far more dire position than most folk realise. What makes me particularly sad is so much beauty in the natural world, both macro and microscopic will I assume be lost.

Q. How quickly will terrestrial plant life react to a fast diminishing oxygen count?

Q. How quickly will planktonic life and particularly diatoms disappear, I reckon weeks once a tipping point is crossed, they are sensitive ‘niche’ organisms. Look at the now collapsed symbiotic relationship of algae and bryozoans that were at one time coral reef. This is a screaming alarm bell more profound than anyone is admitting.

Q. How many times this year and next will we see the horror of the recent Turkey/ Syria earthquakes repeated?

Q. It will only take one harvest to be ruined by changing weather patterns for the world to be thrown in turmoil, the USA burger obsession will come to an abrupt halt. And probably I assume Chinas pork production.

Q. Not really a question, a simple fact that ice melting rates are woefully under-reported or underestimated, we all know as kids how ice can flash off overnight and next morning as we look out the window and all is gone.

I remind people to visualise the crossover graph of increasing methane and diminishing oxygen, a double whammy so to speak or a logarithmic and catastrophic change in the breathable atmosphere.

These are only my personal views, pls fact check.

Chemtrail English Channel.

https://go.nasa.gov/39hcdO6

Very tempted to proffer ‘it ain’t fairy dust’ …. Thursday 12th May 2022 chemtrails over the English Channel, sea area Thames, Dover, Wight.

Some of these chemtrails are fifty miles long, quite modest by chemtrail standards but yet another image from NASA Worldview that should open up debate and have people wondering.

Look! Theres chemtrail.

Only modest chemtrail activity here NE England these last few days, early morning and late afternoon / evening usually providing chemtrail to be seen in the sky. These are not short persistence condensation trail, witness the huge streak across the sky at sunset a couple of nights ago trending N/S once the usual fug and grey obscuration had diminished here in Northern England.

Lets look at NASA Worldview which gives us a 30% chance from my experience of finding chemtrail on satellite imagery.

Ouch, massive chemtrail activity sea area Shannon, Fastnet, Sole; 29th April 2022.

https://go.nasa.gov/3F1WCOk

Note the colour of the chemtrail as it appears on the screen. Some of those chemtrail are 150 miles long.

Next day, 30th April its chemtrail again at late morning / noon. https://go.nasa.gov/3KzktpH

30th April English Channel and UK; its chemtrail again at late morning / noon. https://go.nasa.gov/3KzktpH

Wow thats a lot of chemtrail. Remember this is as a ‘snapshot in time’ not an accumulation.

Lets take a close-up look at the murk of what is NOT officially acknowledged, ‘cors its not, they will be all trussed up with non-disclosure and The Official Secrets Act. Its no good wandering up to an ex military crony expecting to get the gen on this, its the oldest trick in the book to get an old buddy to spill the beans.

Heavy chemtrail day English channel, northern France, southern England. 30th April 2022. https://go.nasa.gov/39yndad

What clearer example could you wish for to justify the hundreds of posts here on my climate change blog re chemtrail.

For the same day as above lets look at the chemtrail soup over Biscay, here I zoom in with St.-Nazaire to the right. https://go.nasa.gov/3kL60ww pic below …

Andrew prince of twits …

What a mess.

Theres something lacking thats for sure.

So, he spends time waiting for the visiting massage lady, no security check (as if its anyone else but …) and rounds with “Want to watch a movie”

Dear God.

This is someone with no friends, no intellectual activity and a profoundly vacuous life; until now I have never been anti-Royal. Wow think of the real estate these buggers own ….

Those pics, the uniforms, the medals, the morning suits, the race attire, all very grating upon the ordinary citizen of this United Kingdom whilst we graft hard to keep chin above water; we had given them the benefit of the doubt. Time to toughen up I think.

As an amusing aside, no wonder the Argis ran when they heard him coming in his helicopter, bellowing “Do you like it up the Ars*” … thats one way the get them scared!

No10, Boris and climate change.

I subscribe to updates from carbonbrief.org and this just arrived in this morning. Makes for interesting reading, and pertinent to these last few weeks wishing this countrys leadership can get back to focusing on climate change, the elimination of poverty and coping with the future.

But lets also remind ourselves of COP26 Glasgow … what did it achieve?

Were the right people invited?

How will COP26 be viewed in hindsight?

In actual effect was it pointless?

One could be certainly justified in saying it was pointless, the IPCC we must remember does not factor in the effects of methane, something that can arrive as microbial activity, thawing methane hydrate previously locked as ice, and subsea ice itself thawing and allowing vent to previously trapped methane fields. Also, I find it erroneous when the multiplication factor of say 80x is bandied around for methane which is a projection over an incredibly generous time frame, in reality with a series of big releases in one season of thawing our time on this planet would be measured in months, and at that timeframe the methane effect must surely be many hundreds that of CO2.

Buffoonery…

Unusually I drove out yesterday a Saturday, a few dozen miles to a town I know the other side of northern England, I needed a change of scene and to hopefully chat to a few people I sort of know a little or thirty years. The day was okay, missed seeing Pauline, her place is now condemned, and my excuse for the carbon footprint on this is that already my small car is only running 8k miles annually as opposed to what would have been 18k miles in years gone by. Gone is the horse charity work and a strange marriage that ‘drove me’ to places as now dog-less I’d never venture; memories suffice. Recently merely a second time such a ‘need’ has overcome me … last exercised a year ago. Result not too exciting admittedly but actually the best part was the journey across this part of northern England, through some always interesting landscape and a chance to criss-cross on foot the two towns I know best.

What struck me and horrified me was the amount of hardcore heavy drinking spilling out from the main watering holes, and this at 6pm! I doubt they could be very well off and wonder what hardship this causes at home, my wife grew up in a household where weekends were hell, as she many times told me “When drinks in wit is out”. Luckily she was able to move to her grandmothers age eleven and gain some peace and quiet, and yes her parents were usually stoney-broke, looked it, sounded it and what would be termed disadvantaged by the social workers.

Noise, volume, heated banter, all which covid would enjoy, likewise the other town I drove over to in taking a walk to the lake; I had no idea the town became a drinkers mecca on a Saturday night, silly me …. how else could all these pubs and eateries justify their existance! I cannot myself see the point, value or pleasure in this, a certain type only is drawn to it. I’ve never had the luxury to throw money away in such a manner, admittedly I did have a half year of pub visiting when in digs but soon met my wife thankfully and the interest quickly waned, we actually moved town and being strangers never did fall into any pattern of ‘going out’. My pleasure nearest to this is enjoy my own home cooking and some late evening beer at home, any pub or bar will never see my presence nor my money.

My point is, covid deaths are still high if I’m reading the news correctly and after all the sacrifices made, surely the pendulum is swinging too far in the opposite direction? Is this a smokescreen from Boris Johnson to deflect from his own disastrous predicament? The next thing is they’ll be having a war, an age old diversion for such times as now.

On the drive back at our local town there is a tiny public house, recently converted from a small office premises say ten years ago just before the T**ford Bridge and it was full packed with drinkers, mostly older and windows all steamed up, only one single doorway as access. Again, why?

Where are we with climate change?

I’ve lain fallow on this for a few weeks following the damp squib of a wasted COP26 Glasgow, to let the dust settle so to speak, to reflect. The IPCC should hang their heads in shame.

The four years of a trump vested interest and an ‘in reverse’ shambles of what could only laughingly be called an ‘administration’ (note I deny him upper case) has not helped this planet or its peoples in any way whatsoever unless of course you are already an exceedingly rich US billionaire; lets face it millions are small change these days….

But trump is not a billionaire, no matter how crooked his schemes and evasions it has still left him hanging on propped up by debt from lenders of near last resort.

I worry about the Yemen, the inexcusable shambles of a deliberately callous Afghanistan withdrawl etc etc

In all this blog of say six hundred posts I reckon my sources are of good quality, will stand to scrutiny and illuminate and educate. Brave people, particularly in the USA, they face demotion or dismissal for speaking like this.

Heres two for climate change …

Note in the above from Dr Guy Macpherson his concern at the big hit from ozone depletion at 02:45 from rising sea level and hence the loss and destruction of nuclear generation (ie meltdown) and hence near instant ozone loss rendering the ‘out of doors’ uninhabitable. Its a chilling quote “The living will envy the dead” at 03:28. My own hobby horse is diatoms and the oceanic plankton that scrub half of the worlds carbon for us for free, all are near or are actually microscopic; trees and land based CO2 conversion will fail us I’m sure and unfortunately the plankton too. We’ve played with a world size chemistry set and it all appears inevitable. I found the link for the above on …. https://www.facebook.com/groups/arcticnews/
