[We're saved!]: Mass. Audubon Society seeks 50-foot wind turbine
...the Audubon Society’s decision to explore increasing its green energy production (the center already uses solar panels) via a wind turbine is either a glowing endorsement of wind power, or a pragmatic choice between the danger to our avian friends and the fight against global warming. The turbine will be temporarily installed to study the potential benefits. It’s hoped that the 2.2 kilowatt turbine will provide 6 to 10% of the center’s power needs. The whole deal is dependent on local Planning Board, City Council and neighborhood approval.

Weather records are a state secret - Christopher Booker - Telegraph
The idea that temperature records might be a state secret seems strange enough, but when the policies of governments across the world are based on that data it becomes odder still that no outsider should be allowed to see it. Weirdest of all, however, is the Met Office's claim that to release the data would "damage the trust that scientists have in those scientists who happen to be employed in the public sector".

Doesn't the Met Office realise that trust in it has already been damaged enough by its batty predictions of "barbecue summers"? If it wants to restore that trust, it should first come clean about its data, and then reprogramme its computer to give us forecasts that are not skewed by its obsession with global warming – which is not happening.
