lol.
It seems that Ken Livingstone and Porsche can’t agree on which of their polls represents the views of the people of London. I guess this would be a classic example of framed questioning, and another reason why polling is deeply, deeply flawed and is almost meaningless.
Context: Porsche are suing the London authority over plans to […]
Further to my recent posts on the candidacy of GOP reptile-in-chief, Rudy Giuliani, may I draw your attention to this article by economist Paul Krugman. Krugman catches Giuliani as he peddles some unsubstantiated “facts” about “socialized medicine” (which, unsurprisingly when you consider Giuliani’s penchant for bullshit, are untrue).
And the moneyist of the money quotes?
At one […]
According to The Guardian, Labour is planning to broaden the scope of its 10 eco-camps eco-towns by introducing fitness regimes for the occupants.
The health secretary, Alan Johnson, is convinced that two great challenges facing Britain - climate change and obesity - are linked.
He believes it makes sense that 10 eco towns already being planned […]
Is this really true?
Giant garbage patch floating in Pacific
An enormous island of trash twice the size of Texas is floating in the Pacific Ocean somewhere between San Francisco and Hawaii.
Chris Parry with the California Coastal Commission in San Francisco said the so-called Great Pacific Garbage Patch, has been growing a brisk rate since […]
Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Win Nobel Peace Prize.
There are many things in life that, at this advanced stage in our civilisation, we should not be doing.
Grinding up plants, wrapping them in paper, and smoking them would be right at the top of the list. How about buying toys needing batteries that we have no intention of replacing? Travelling 30 miles to sit […]

The Lib Dems are arguing against new roads on Environmental grounds - after all, more roads must mean more cars, no?
Well no, not really. More roads wouldn’t necessarily mean more cars. It would however mean less congestion and therefore less pollution from cars stuck in mile-long tailbacks, though. The number of cars in the country […]
From Pickled Politics: -
Aid agencies estimate that over 21 million people are being affected by the floods in India, Nepal and Bangladesh, described by the UN as “worst in living memory”. So far around 240 people have died in the Indian sub-continent.
This comes on top of the deaths of over 700 people in China, […]

Reports that China has overtaken the US as the world’s biggest CO2 polluter should give us pause for thought.
China has become the largest manufacturer in the world, but they don’t produce primarily for their home market, they sell their wares globally. So when you buy cheap products from your local supermarket (i.e. that £25 […]
So says Peter Preston.
Is that possible when climate change is just one “normal” issue among many, to be ceremonially weighed against US jobs or gas prices or Chinese imports? It’s not. But that, with inevitable shades of emphasis, is where every extant presidential candidate stands. Too timid, too slow. Global warming is an utterly abnormal […]
We all have strange talents that are pretty useless for the most part, and one of mine is an uncanny flair for catching flies. Whether you think that is pointless or just gross is immaterial, the point is, at this particular task, I’m probably better than you. So there.
