Climate change scientist: Expect more droughts and floods

Fiona Hewer, a Cookham Parish Councillor, has warned that the drastic flooding seen around the UK recently, while other areas, such as Thames Valley, including Cookham and Marlow, have hosepipe bans, is likely to reoccur.

The meteorologist, who used to work at the Met Office's top climate change research centre in Hadley, Exeter, said: "One of the things we talk about as climate change scientists is that the future UK climate will have milder, wetter winters and hotter, drier summers.

"Therefore we say the consequences will be more droughts and perversely more floods, which sounds rather strange.

“Green” Energy Bias Killing California | Via Meadia

Destroying the economic hopes of low income people in order to stoke the self esteem of entitled Boomers is not Via Meadia’s idea of progressive politics, but that just goes to show how backwards we are by the exalted moral standards of the California elites.

The destruction of California isn’t a victimless crime. Millions of low income California residents are trapped in decaying cities where, thanks in large part to narcissistic green unicorn chasers, the manufacturing base has withered away. And anything that blights California, blights us all. America and the world need California back on line; the Golden State has too much to offer for anyone to remain indifferent to its fate.

In the long run, California is too richly endowed and its people too dynamic for the self-defeating policies of the green elites to prevail.
