Whilst rapid jerks in the Net Zero Scrutiny Group pursue a well funded campaign to undermine the UK Governments commitments to climate action – the climate emergency continues to build momentum. Troops can be with drawn by Putin, but the climate emergency cannot be reversed for maybe decades. It is not an optional extra to take action now. It may cost money, but there is plenty around – the NZSG would like to continue to receive their dividends from the energy companies. Blaming the new green technologies for cost of living rises is dishonest. Transporting energy materials like gas and oil contribute almost 50% to the greenhouse emissions of ocean transport.
WEATHER
Two storms line up to batter Ireland and Scotland, Dudley and Eustace will be most harmful in the north but it is windy band wet here at the moment.
Around the world – Madagascar bracing itself for its third tropical revolving storm, Spain is suffering from drought, Australia experiencing some bush fires, China Winter Olympics are very cold and has unexpectantly heavy snow. Northern Japan has record snow.
WAITING
for a concerted campaign against Sadiq Khan. Zac Goldsmith tried but made a fool of himself by accusing a tory supporter of being a ‘radical imam’. Priti Patel feels slighted by Sadiq as he did not tell her what was blindingly obvious to anyone with a brain – that Dick was not up to, or doing, the job.
I wonder how much effort she will make to appoint a pro-Johnson candidate. Or are they all playing a waiting game, let Dick take the flack from Downingstreetgate, then appoint. It will be interesting as public opinion is, I think, demanding a ‘clean’ police force in London. Will ‘the accused’ keep out of the discussions – I doubt it!
GARDEN
I know it is not spring yet – but I am getting ready. I have ordered a small heater for the greenhouse so I can get started. I have ordered Ruthje and Santiam Sunrise tomato plant seeds. I also have Xmas presents to plant – purple dragon carrots;mstriped tomatoes; red ball Brussel sprouts; yellow courgette golden zucchini and some Brightlights Swiss Chard. And then some organic seed bombs which I will put along front garden by the road – I need to clear of grass first.
CRITICAL
UKRAINE
It is difficult to read the mind of a despot, let alone a tosspot. So with Putin and Johnson the situation is serious. I find it interesting that the rhetoric from London and Washington is more hawkish than that of the Ukraine which seems fairly sanguine about things, saying the situation has not changed much over the last 8 years.

COVID
Getting rid of all restrictions seems a bit premature – can they publish the medical advice for this? The Omicron Variant seems less virulent but is it equatable with flu? I am happy to believe we are entering a post-Covid society but would like to see the evidence. North Somerset stats.
OIL COMPANY PROFITS
The justification offered is that they need the profit for massive investment in renewable energy projects. Can they show us exactly what these investments are – not what they might be?
NET ZERO SECURITY GROUP
The green agenda is not optional. Nothing more to say.
