Brown's definitely got more than a hint of a Messiah complex.
If he carries on we'll have to rename it the Son of Manse Complex.He's starting to make Iran's Dinnerjacket look normal, at least doesn't keep proclaiming himself some sort of World Saviour (tm).
In fact, I can't really recall anyone in the last thousand years ever seriously calling themselves the saviour of the known world.

I'll just have to forget all the stuff I've learnt about Post-Romano Britain before I start though.
50 days to save the World - are you f
king kidding me?
So let me get this right:
1. Man contributes just 4% of this gas into the atmosphere and climate change is our fault?
2. Climate change is a threat to us all yet has been happening since the dawn of time?
3. CO2 levels were 100 times greater (in a period the IPCC wish to ignore) yet temperatures weren't unbearable!
4. The only solution to this man-made lie is taxation, redistribution of wealth, restriction on movement and further big brother antics?
5. Taxation is a more effective option than controlling population, and perhaps asking the question why humans decide to breed in a fking desert?
6. Climate change is proven, yet the government funded organisations who identified it have lost the all important data they based their calculations on.
7. Anyone in the scientific community who offers an alternative explanation (the majority) is described as a climate change denier, and dropped into the bracket along with pedophiles, holocaust deniers, Nazis and terrorists (no doubt also government sponsored)...

Wow. It's like State of Fear but with a head of state saying it. That's really quite scary. The more the spout this bull the more it's turning people off though. Hell, even the BBC published an article on their website stating that there's been no warming since 1998.
By all means protect the environment, find cleaner, renewable energy sources, stop deforestation but please please don't insult my intelligence while doing it. Didn't someone work out that the cost of Kyoto could have delivered clean water to every person on the planet?

It's all been done before: Part 2
"The long hot summer of 1976 which eventually ended in September of that year, was the culmination of a 16-month dry spell - the longest recorded over England and Wales since 1727. Why did it happn? The summer of 1976 had its origins in the weather of the previous year. The dry, warm weather that set in during May 1975 over much of England and Wales was followed by dominant warm, dry, sunny weather throughout that summer and led to the development of large soil moisture deficits by the end of August. Only 50 per cent of normal rainfall between June and August fell. There was no rain at all over much of England and Wales for several weeks in the latter part of July and for most of August. In particular it was dry in many parts of south Wales, south-west and southern England for 35-42 days until rain was recorded on 27, 28 or 29 August. Temperatures were highest in the southern and south-eastern areas of the country - amounting to a whopping 4 °C above average between June and August from Devon across to Cambridgeshire. Heathrow had 16 consecutive days with temperatures over 30 °C from 23 June to 8 July, its longest spell on record".

I spent all summer outside, slapping on Bergasol suntan lotion, which had the same sun factor as an expensive olive oil and which has now been banned (IIRC) as being carcinagenic!
As an aside my daughter came home from University last weekend for a visit, blagged a lift in the Cobra, and when I asked if her studenty friends would view me as a climate killer said,
" Oh No..... all the geography students are now taught, and are in turn saying, that the rise in Co2 is a natural cycle, its not man-made and there's nothing we can do about it. Nothing that we do will make any difference."
So the universities have now cottoned on, how long before the govt and politicians will?

In spite of Doom'n'Broon issuing words of warning yesterday, it was good to see Sirralan as Business Tsar parking his leviathan AMS1 round the back of the Department of Business Innovation and Something.
Clearly viewable from Great Smith Street blocking the rear entrance.
You have to wonder what Mandy thinks of that. Off message and creating difficulty parking his vespa.

Despite the lack of a decent summer this year (and last), the local streams where I live have all dried up and stopped flowing. Not seen this happen before apart from when we had that really great summer four years ago. This is a little surprising given that we are nearing November, no the middle of August.
I blame climate change.
However, the weather forecast is for it to piss down for the next 24 hours, so I'm guessing the climates changed again and I expect to see those streams flow again.
