UK politics, junk is getting in the way…

We need a greater sense of urgency re climate change ie Arctic ice loss, diatom loss (eqiv CO2>O conversion for all terrestial green things).

So much junk is getting in the way, the Tories are intransigent with the state of the NHS, latest Tory sleazeball Nadhim Zahawi somehow carelessly overlooked £23 million quid etc etc and the stupidity of HS2 in this digital age beggars belief, its not anything to do with transporting goods, merely bums on seats.

Both COP extraveganzas last year will amount to little if anything and the IPCC are so backward and emasculated, quite irrelevant to latest scientific thinking. World ice expert Prof Peter Wadhams mostly side-lined/ forgotten.

There are so many realworld momentous changes occurring, interconnected features and feedback loops like a vast chemistry experiment now set into dire motion and a quite unfavourable realignment, a realignment that does not favour homo saps nor most living things of any sort, if diatoms are severely compromised which is the foundation of the marine food chain and CANNOT be circumvented as to their essential contribution then the cards on the table indicate enjoy your life as you can, live a good life but imho 2026 is the line in the sand.

Its hard to know where to start …

  • Jet stream altering, expect crazy weather patterns and food prodn greatly altered. You can forget burgers.
  • Diatoms are on the decline, a total loss wld be equiv to all terrestial plants and trees for CO2>O conversion. Google the irony of that … origin of 70% of all world oil reserves etc.
  • Arctic ice loss, to some extent remains but thickness disappearing fast. One day soon it will all ‘flash melt’ and be gone.
  • Ice-free Arctic by summer 2023 … looks likely. Place your bets!
  • El Nino slow to start from the quieter La Nina, looks set to peak with sunspot max 2026… oh dear!
  • Methane is trickling slowly, as yet quite docile though at historically max levels, we have yet to receive the predicted large releases, as a short term catastrophe much higher effect than many will admit say min x200 of CO2 and one could guess a short term effect x1,000 that of CO2. IPCC is in all respects ‘dumb’ on this; shame upon them.
  • With inc CO2 or methane all green growing things go into reverse and will not be able to help us when we need it.
  • Reduction of aerosol masking effect ie ‘going green’ does nothing but inc temperature. The irony of it! Maybe that is why chemtrail is sprayed, but as its mainly nano-particle aluminium (near gaseous in its diffusion) it is non-healthy and imho greatly exacerbates wild fires.
  • To my mind a good source of all that is happening, could happen is http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/

Lines in the sky …

Lots of chemtrail here in north east England today Sunday 28th Aug ’22, duration all day, not intense but altering the sky all the same, ‘whitening the sky’ to use the term as no doubt will be unfolded to the general public in the next year or two. It will have to be, as climate change is very quickly taking us to situations we would find hardly credible a decade ago.

Interestingly mid evening we could see a single say 30k elevation aircraft proceed across the sky without any vapour or condensation trail whatsoever, but 5 minutes later a near sky-wide visible thin chemtrail deposited and an hour later drifted or broadened much wider. Legitimate ‘ordinary’ condensation trails would never do this. This proves my point.

As mentioned many times NASA Worldview (my only source of sat imagery unfortunately) will only display in my opinion 20-30% of what we actually witness up in he sky as chemtrail, my four year observational experience has proven this to be true. Lets look at the spectacular chemtrail over the south west of England and the Irish Sea and southern Ireland …

chemtrail from sat imagery … https://go.nasa.gov/3AVesSs

Lets take a closer look at the above chemtrail Devon, Cornwall, Wales and Ireland as per Sat 27th Aug ’22 ….

https://go.nasa.gov/3RlNw3X

Good God! An obscene chemtrail display and yet hardly anyone takes notice. look at all that morning chemtrail over Ireland!

Lets zip forward to today Sun 28th Aug ’22 …

Remember, NASA Worldview can only display chemtrail activity prior to mid-day. Here its all morning chemtrail, Isle of Wight, Channel Islands, English Channel … https://go.nasa.gov/3QZPO8U

Chemtrail English Channel, southern England, Channel Islands. Today 28th Aug ’22. https://go.nasa.gov/3QZPO8U

So, there is some chemtrail revealed for this morning ie north east England but by comparison the chemtrail over to the west, ie west of England, chemtrail Isle of Man, chemtrail Ireland was in great profusion.

Hint, click on the chemtrail link and click to enlarge https://go.nasa.gov/3e7YOuo

Lets now look at photographs of chemtrail today here in NE England ….

Chemtrail all day, here we are mid evening north east England looking NW. A totally altered and chemtrail sky.

Chemtrail diary contd … a day later ie 29th Aug ’22 is chemtrail over English Channel, chemtrails Channel Islands, chemtrails Cornwall, Brittany … https://go.nasa.gov/3ApJy3a

A poor performance by Boris.

I just wonder if he has early stages dementia, and I am quite serious about this question.

Boris Johnson refuses to apologise for the peculier mention of Jimmy Saville whilst at crossed swords debate in the House and gives no valid reason to drag this irrelevant point into the harangue; merely to hurt the Opposition Leader, to stab Sir Keir Starmer; this by any standards was brainless, ignorant and cruel. All he need do is apologise and admit the situation, the heat overcame him, but his ongoing waffly obfuscation since then and somehow pretending there was any justification for this most awful blunder compounds his hurt, his damage and what little is left of his credibility. To anyone, it looks bad, a despicable act.

This last few days have been shameful in those that are now defending Boris, hearing Kwasi Kwarteng this weekend was particularly dire, Kwasi insisting the vaccine roll-out and fight against covid was plainly the achievement of Boris Johnson, others have voiced how he was near death and his epic battle to fight it, he pulled through, etc etc! I could practically hear ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ start to play in the background! Embarrassing how Kwasi Kwarteng can stoop so low, this would fit more with Russia and China than the UK.

As blogged previously I’m horrified how these sad blind unfortunate so called supporters are insistent on voicing what are supposedly a ‘list of achievements’ of Boris Johnson, utter humbug. I beg to differ and would say his REAL list of achievements makes for very sad reading and worst of all we have to live with the real world consequences of it all, ask any ordinary working person; Rishi Sunak likewise equally in my mind not so clever as so many would have us pretend, history will not be kind to them.

Where is objective clear thinking and accountability?

Lets list top of my head the dastardly acts of Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak et al ….

  • Peroguing of Parliament (actually now seen as illegal).
  • Pushing through Brexit which again is disastrous, for decades we will hurt from this. It will hit precisely those businesses comprising ordinary working people, growers, manufacturers.
  • Blind to the impracticality of the Northern Ireland / EU trading border.
  • Most definitely eroding the status of the poor and the ordinary, the mass of people, the stats in 10yrs time will amply demonstrate this.
  • Snatching the notorious £20 note from the poorest, this Rishi is very mean and cruel.
  • Billions wasted on HS2 particularly in a time of zoom meetings and remote working.
  • Both NI and income tax up for ordinary workers.
  • Crippling energy costs, on the rise, unfettered a huge profit machine for the those companies that can stay the course.
  • Still allowing the IR35 tax loophole, this is disgraceful by any standard other than vested interest and greed.
  • Not any great real effect on climate change, Boris is a Johnny come lately at even accepting the phenomena.
  • In my opinion Boris disrespects the House, remember it suited Boris fine to have the likes of Dominic Cummings as close advisor; whoops that is a misnomer, theres nothing ‘the likes of’ Dominic Cummings, fortunately a total one-off and Boris couldn’t get enough of him.
  • The phoney mantra of ‘levelling up’ which will prove to be empty and hollow.
  • The disastrous withdrawl from Afghanistan and its consequences, I shudder at the suffering and poverty we have left behind, as with Iraq a consequence of western meddling.
  • The multiple serial contravention of covid restrictions at no.10 and if Boris couldn’t recognise the contravention then what was happening inside no.10 on a day to day basis?
  • The billions wasted on the Dido Harding track and trace fiasco.
  • Draconian lockdowns, quite needless when losing family members. Imagine the misery in adhering to a ‘rule’. This well illustrates the Boris lack of empathy and callous disregard to the ordinary and suffering.
  • The millions perhaps billions wasted on inappropriate substandard PPE at the start of covid, bought from ‘mates’.
  • The billions wasted on naive Rishi shovelling out money as ‘loans’ to companies that subsequently surprise surprise declare themselves bankrupt.
  • The stupidity of the cash grants ie free money no strings handed out without any screening whatsoever from Local Authorities to any small business that said ‘yes’, lets face it hospitality needs to shed massive overcapacity and many niche businesses under covid have thrived. A waste of money once again.
  • We’ll see the situation quite soon where doctors on call-out will be making visits to homes six months of the year in cold weather where the occupants suffer without heating, Boris and Rishi have set the clock back a hundred years.
  • Immediate rampant inflation, surely not a surprise to anyone but Boris.
  • Measly near non-existent rates for savers.
  • The rise of the private landlord has been allowed to increase unfettered.
  • And perhaps worst of all the huge NHS backlog, literally millions of people held in limbo UNABLE to enjoy the magnificent resources of as we are told so often this wonderful NHS.

Its hard to believe such a list of blunders. I would like all of these blunders to be investigated and will it happen, not really. The Boris Government is increasingly looking to be a clowns comedy cavalcade.

Rishi is so divorced from reality if he were to walk along a street (I doubt he ever would) and if a poor person were to hold out their hand he would probably mistakenly think they want to give him money!

Theres not much cheer or hope in any of this; merely ‘dread’ for the ordinary.

We are in dangerous territory here, where its expected the public have no memory of the rolling disaster of Boris Johnson or whatever Government, this whitewash and lack of any sense of history is precisely what George Orwell warned us against.

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.

Lets add some substance to this, casting around re methane Al Jazeera have this worthwhile article and vid embed third of four lower down the page … https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2021/10/27/melting-arctic-ice-permafrost-uncontrolled-global-heating

Thwaites Glacier.

This rolled up into a news story mid-December and quite rightly too but what no-one is mentioning is the monstrous tidal wave and subsequent follow-on ripples when the Thwaites Glacier drops into the sea. This is not an ‘if’, it is an absolute certainty, only question is ‘when’ … and probably a lot quicker than we have bargained for. The question is, how far around the globe will this tsunami from Thwaites actually penetrate?

We hear of the likes of Henry Dimbleby on bbc r4 this teatime informing us of the need to re-wild, the need to minimise meat consumption (yes I concur) but the arguament re methane in agriculture is quite tiny (and laughable) when one considers the likely many multiple ‘methane burps’ from the Arctic; our actions to remedy are a mere pin-prick and is JUST NOT worth the effort! As well as feel-good platitudes we need to evaluate quantities, realise the scale of what nature can throw at us. Then we’ll realise how we are wasting our time.

I’ve seen so-called ‘re-wilding’ and I suggest creating a better urban landscape, more competent gardens at home is a more valuable exercise.

It is pointless but lets pretend we are trying, we need ….

i) a one child policy.

ii) the near elimination of the American style burger culture.

iii) to live close/ local to our work.

I myself am a twit, no fridge, no washing machine (or tv or mobile) … but does my personal endeavour really help matters at all, not at all unless I can get half of every country in the world to do the same. Will they, not really and y’know it doesn’t even matter….

COP26 failure…

One country India should not have been allowed to water down the COP26 statement re coal use, the general concensus and plain common sense dictates how we should proceed. Its no use the individual doing his or her best to minimise carbon footprint when its the big emitters and industries that must offer clout and crunch the big numbers.

A statement, merely something on paper, this is what men in suits do best, when will the scientists and engineers be given chance to show their best? I think an alternative to COP needs to be instigated, I would hope such a thing is happening right now. But if you read and listen to tone and the possible outcome of many experts on this, those at the sharp end with knowledge, direct observation and data they too think as I do that a vast chemistry set of reactions has been set in motion and I doubt theres much we can do. For instance look at jet stream, arctic warming, Greenland ice melt, ocean plankton, etc etc.

COP26 was feeble, an obfuscation, fiddling whilst Rome burns.

In all practicality with impending arctic methane and the interconnectedness of amplifying feedbacks its all just window dressing so to speak but as responsible adults and responsible nations we must do our best, we must never give up on this. Though it would be useful to think we could look back and think we did our best the scene set is not good and immediate practical effect of our efforts looks very poor indeed. One point five will soon look irrelevant to everyone, it will blow away in the breeze, but if it helps minds focus then so be it.

Watching silly billionaires pour their money into junk spaceflights and super yachts is uncomfortable to watch; shame upon them, pity we couldn’t boycott their activities, I never have been keen on Amazon anyway. A glorified shopkeeper!

http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/

note in the above the heat over vast at present still withheld gas reserves in northern Canada and likewise the heat exactly over the shallow Laptev Sea ie northern Siberia. In time and we are already in my opinion at that point the Arctic instead of cooling the planet will become a vast engine, an agency of heating, our enemy so to speak. Its only in recent years scientists are working out the worlds water circulation into the Arctic, the importance and danger between fresh and saline, warm and cold.

Ice is funny stuff, once huge bodies of it ie the Greenland ice sheet is most obviously melting with endless melt pools and rivers falling thousands of feet into the interior of the ice massif then theres nothing that in all practicality can be done to halt this process. In pure vengeance I’d like to winch trump and his cronies beneath a helicopter and dump them in the middle of the fast thawing wilderness, a childish idea perhaps, but for the harm and delay they have caused I think perfectly justifiable.

Watch out for methane which exists in three forms, vast trapped reserves, subsea frozen hydrate and as the result of a warming of ancient carbon deposits now being prompted to microbial activity. As repeated already the irony of burning ancient diatomaceous oil and associated gas deposits has led to their oceanic demise, thats half of the world CO2 conversion gone, increasing CO2 also means trees and green land based CO2 conversion activity will also decrease, its their natural reaction. Fun times ahead.

postscript, please read arctic-news.blogspot … here i copy and paste re methane and the IPCC total refusal to acknowledge its importance or apparently its existence !!!

copy and paste …”One of the largest threats is seafloor methane and despite repeated warning from some of the best experts in the field, the IPCC simply waves away this threat. This and other elements in the bar have been discussed in detail in many earlier posts such as this one and on the extinction page.”

loony stupid headlines re climate change …

Whatever numskull produced this headline / news tag?

“LOSS OF GLACIERS WILL HURT TOURISM” ….

https://www.mail.com/int/scitech/news/11273142-loss-glaciers-will-hurt-tourism-power-supplies.html#.1258-stage-rightcolumn1-2

My response to this sheer level of stupidity is not printable here, there aren’t enough naughty words on the keyboard.

Chemtrails UK…

This morning it was obvious chemtrail overhead at 0900, by 11:00 the sky was much clouded, grey and 90% obscured.

Chemtrails north east England, theres also chemtrail directly above, out of shot. 09:49gmt 8th Nov 2021.

There was at least eight trails in the sky, both above and to my left out of shot.

None of this is conventional condensation trail, it is chemtrail.

Please explore my blog, learn about my DQA reporting system for daily chemtrail observation, of the effects of chemtrail nano-particle aluminium particularly west coast USA, the work of Frances Mangels retired Fisheries Biologist and the tragic demise of life in lakes and rivers. Also seabird collapse from starvation, exacerbation of wildfires from chemtrail aluminium build-up etc etc etc …..

Here below is NASA Worldview for the same day, the time of data capture I’m not sure, I’m guessing late morning; however by 11am the sky was much obscured anyway at this location. Chemtrail whitens the sky, induces cloud cover/ reaction and if over-applied can set the sky into a quite un-natural reaction, something I witnessed at this location two or three years ago. There is lots on this blog re chemtrail. Please realise I have given this time and attention, I am used to technical subjects and observation over an extended period of time, ie days, weeks, months, whatever.

I merely observe and record, I am most wary of ‘assumptions’.

Chemtrail north east England and North Sea … https://go.nasa.gov/3bYr79X

Below is a screen capture of 5th Nov 2021 of the English Channel, very good evidence chemtrails are real and true.

I was steam-rollered, jackbooted and literally forced into …

… having to accept against my will a ‘condensing boiler‘ most certainly against my wishes and remember its me that foots the bill (for in this case something i did not want) ie a replacement central heating boiler of the newer ‘condensing type’. This would be say eight years ago and cost me £1,700 GBP.

When the young man left after totting up I’m guessing £700 for ten hours labour (which is more than double any hourly rate I have ever charged never mind pocketed as a wage, in fact three times the amount on invoicable monies alone) …. I was left with gaping holes to fill and particularly with no immersion heater for instant hot water and the facility to air our clothing etc in the aptly named ‘airing cupboard on the upstairs bedroom level! Its particularly jarring to me we lost the immersion heater upstairs.

In winter it kept upstairs warm too, taking the edge off the cold. maybe indicating an inefficiency, but appreciated and of course now lost.

Point of this post and something that i only realised yesterday is that the super-duper pile of crap called the condensing boiler is in fact now seeming itself as out of date and backward when with the modern push to eliminating gas fired boilers now elevates the long uninstalled immersion heater I reckon as looking so much more attractive (its electric not the now shamed gas) and attractive to the ‘powers that be’ the authorities and the bright bunnies running around oh so desperate to install the latest. I wish them well in their Spanish villas and three car families and unfettered consumerism fuelled by decades of insisting on the installation of gas fired condensing boilers at very juicy hourly rates, certainly not a lifestyle of mine. In actual fact i hope they fall flat on their face and i look forward to once again having an immersion heater in the airing cupboard.
