They can tell us it's getting warmer



But I for one don't believe them

Note this is the Central England Monthly Average Temperature so far this year in degrees C

The anomaly is with respect to the average monthly temperature recorded between 1961 and 1990 in degrees C

the minus sign denotes below average

I'll leave that with you

Thanks: this is a small sample, but there are signs that warming is slowing....things are, in other words, normal. Change, change, change: not in the politicians' silly usage, but real changes in the earth. All natural, IMHO.

Let's hope it lasts. We are long overdue a Summer in the UK.

Our last one was 2006.

Alged we have had our 2 days in the Sun in Yorkshire and it's back to a 16C peak today

A lot of those predictions have the built in expected warm bias

the one that isn't there

The one that causes our "Mild Winter" (2nd Coldest in 354 years) and "Barbeque Summer" (Complete drought free washout)

They don't need any revamping. Collectively we need to get rid of them for good.

The only truly safe Nuclear Power Station is one that stays on the Drawing Board.

Here's a UK £20 note cut in two

If you earned a standard wage in the UK and you received £20.00 in your Salary you would be able to buy 11.4 litres of Diesel after Pay As You Earn and National Insurance reduced it to £15.72.

Of this £15.72 worth of Diesel, £2.62 would be taken in Value Added Tax and £6.61 would be Fuel Duty

As you can see the larger part of the £20.00 goes directly into Government Coffers (67.6% or £13.52)

The smaller part goes to the Petrol Company with which to pay the wages of the Petrol Station Employees, Fuel Delivery Truck Drivers, Refinery Workers, Oil Rig Workers and other Petrol Company Workers all who pay tax out of that smaller bit that provides their wages (some which they spend on fuel as well!!) Then if the Petrol Company makes a profit, which unsurprisingly they do, they pay tax on the profits they make and also a levy on the oil they extract.

So even a considerable bit of the smaller part goes directly into Government Coffers.

Meanwhile with that £20.00 ($30.36) I can drive 115 miles 17.4p/mile (26.4 cents/mile) in my fuel efficient car.



Just saying...
