"Household gas and electricity bills are expected to rocket fourfold to nearly £5,000 a year by the end of the decade to meet Government-imposed green targets. And the price heavy industry will have to pay by 2020 is so high that energy-dependent firms could be wiped out, causing thousands of job losses ...".

..we are "loaded up by five separate charges to help fund the battle to combat climate change and become greener." They are the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target, the Renewables Obligation, the Community Energy Saving Programme and shortly there will be a levy on investing in clean coal projects."

Mind you, it's not only here that has power problems:

...and not only here that we have a thoroughly nasty administration:

Still, when all's said and done, you only need to put on a thick overcoat right now, go out in the garden and figure out how a windmill would keep your house warm on this still, sub-zero, starlit night.

The grand scheme will have to be paid for, I wonder by whom? :-/ :-/

Whilst we're all distracted by this touching concern for the health of the planet this crafty little move was being made

Most sensible people have (posted today):

"The Central England data show nothing unusual about the evolution of current temperatures. And because there is really nothing special about Central England, it's reasonable to expect that no place in the world is experiencing anything unusual in the modern era, in comparison with other epochs since 1659."

Holy Mackerel,  Zulu! I just read this from the article you posted:

"According to Interpol, “Environmental crime is a serious and growing international problem… it is not limited to criminals polluting the air, water and land and pushing commercially valuable wildlife species closer to extinction; it can also include crimes which speed up climate change… and exhaust essential natural resources.” What did Interpol say about not being involved in politics?"

Scary stuff.
