Somebody has set up a Home Buyers' Strike group on facebook.

Foodmista is spot on again, the soil in the fields opposite my house has all the life and texture of pottery-class clay. It's smooth, stone free, evenly red/brown colour. It looks like unfired bricks, not soil, it's just a growing medium to hold the seeds still whilst they absorb the fertilizer. Wh...

Damaging to the public trust of scientists. Isn't that what the OP was about?

Did anyone see this memorandum submitted to parliament by the Institute of Physics on the CRU e-mails? The Institute is concerned that, unless the disclosed e-mails are proved to be forgeries or adaptations, worrying implications arise for the integrity of scientific research in this field and for ...

A classic example of Margaret Thatcher exercising poor choice by appointing Monckton as one of her policy advisers. To reiterate, Monckton does NOT hold a scientific qualification. He was educated at Harrow School, Churchill College, Cambridge, where he received a BA (Honours) in classics in 1973, ...

Some of that is from Chris Martenson's talk to APPGOPO this week, some from elsewhere, often Powerswitch.

Good comment. I didn't guess that it was from a PowerSwitcher.

Creationism is much easier to understand, and things have to be simple in the Mid West, and it's all in one book as well, the Bible. If it's in the bible it must be true. Unless there's a conflict with the Koran of course, and I'll leave it up to you to decide which is correct. :twisted: And of cou...

This is not surprising. If some climatologists misrepresent data, it is natural to wonder how many do. How far does it extend? Did interference with the peer-review process succeed? How extensive might it be? For the general public it is natural for them to wonder how far it extends across the scien...

RenewAmerica - 20/02/10 As the massive global warming fraud implodes, the one aspect of it that has not been explored in depth is the equally massive waste of billions of dollars spent by the United States and nations around the world, we were told, to avoid global warming. Article continues ... :(...

Most people are indoctrinated into believing that "work" (any "work") is a good thing and you are bad and lazy if you don't "work hard". I think most people would happily work fewer hours, in fact a lot of people seem to hate or at least resent their work. The problem i...

Thanks. Sounds about right.

When my Dad retired many years ago (as he was ancient when I was born!), he had the state pension, and £10,000 in savings that he'd made a lot of sacrifices to save. In 1972 he bought a new car for £1,000, so that would make it worth maybe £100-200k at today's prices, so not a bad sum to live on. T...

This final paragraph is interesting and a little surprising to me. So a lot of poor households in London mean it is on average not far from the poorest in England. London, the British capital, home of the City, was only a little wealthier than the North of the country. Partially because of an enormo...
