Could you ask your Labour colleagues who sent their kids to independent schools, why they did so. Could you ask the others, who can afford to avoid sink State schools by buying expensive homes near good state schools, why they did so.
Could you ask yourself why no other European country taxes education.
And could you then give your head a rattle: parents who elect to pay tens of thousands of pounds to educate their kids shouldn’t be demonised, but celebrated. They save the State the trouble of educating their kids, while still paying taxes as if the State was picking up the tab. Your vindictive VAT rise has closed more than 100 private schools, some centuries old. There is nothing noble about your self-justifying ideological vandalism.

Today is the hottest day in the UK since 1976.

That means 50 years ago it was still just as hot as it is today.

Global Warming is a lie.

American eco-nut John Kerry claims carbon dioxide is “pollution.” No it’s not. It’s plant food. It is, in fact, John Kerry who pollutes the climate debate with his toxic nonsense

[Chris Martz @ChrisMartzWX]

Why is it hot in Europe this week?

Well, it has to do with the “omega block” in the jet stream. Omega blocks get their name because they resemble the Greek uppercase letter omega, Ω.

You can see that in the synoptic setup. The map below on the left shows the 500 mb geopotential height anomaly at 18z. The contour lines resemble the Ω shape due to an enormous high-pressure ridge in the mid-troposphere that is sandwiched between two low-pressure systems to its east and west.

Hot Saharan air has been advected—that is, horizontally transported—northward into western Europe due to anticyclonic (clockwise) airflow, and as that air mass moves north, it is compressed adiabatically beneath the ridge where air is sinking.

This process is natural and has nothing whatsoever to do with climate change or greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, there are quite a few studies suggesting that reduced latitudinal baroclinicity (north-to-south temperature gradient) caused by Arctic amplification could reduce the frequency of mid- and high-latitude blocking events (e.g., Hassanzadeh et al., 2014; Woollings et al., 2018).

There is, however, debate about this.

Europe has seen an unusual amount of these extreme heat events since 2019, but most other areas of the globe have not. The notable exception was the June–July 2021 Pacific Northwest heatwave in North America, but even that wasn’t as rare as previously thought.

The most likely explanation for this boils down to a combination of two things:

1️⃣ Undiagnosed changes in atmospheric circulation patterns.

2️⃣ Increased absorbed solar radiation at the surface due to reduced stratiform low- and mid-level cloud cover (increased sunniness), some of which is likely due to reduced atmospheric aerosol concentrations from the EU’s strict pollution regulations.

The overall increase in the “global mean temperature” (which mostly affects overnight lows) has very little to do with this event. Even in a “pre-industrialized” climate, a record-breaking heatwave would still be happening. Heck, the “global mean temperature” fell today despite the heat cranking up in Europe.

This is mostly weather systems moving around. When you have a chaotic system with two turbulent fluids interacting with each other (the atmosphere and ocean), wild things can happen.

Get your weather information from real meteorologists, not sensationalistic clickbait news outlets like BBC News or the Daily Mail.

Back in 1976, why did the @metoffice not predict that, 30 years later, in 2006, the same temperatures would be reached as in your 2056 forecast? This latest bullshit is an opportunistic political forecast to back the bankrupting Net Zero Fantasy

BBC uses hot days to talk up global warming, but won’t use cold days to talk of global cooling. They’ve weaponised the weather to back the junk climate crisis agenda

By 2050, the world is forecast to face 43 million tons of decommissioned wind turbine blades.

These blades are built from high-strength composites made to survive years of weathering.

Still, every single turbine standing today will age out before 2050. Most are difficult to recycle, so most are likely to be buried. But Europe now has a landfill ban for blades coming into force. Nations like Germany, Finland and the Netherlands are already blocking landfills. But they still have blades to dispose of. So the waste is pushed elsewhere. Blades are exported to countries where burial is still allowed, such as the UK.

Net zero creates a mountain of composite waste. And then has the audacity to call it green.

If it is "CO2" that is causing 35°C today, then what is causing a drop of 11°C by Monday? Anti-CO2 perhaps? Or maybe CO2 has nothing at all to do with the weather and never did!

Deze foto is de stalen wapening van de basis van een windmolen. Er zal nog tussen 600 en 800 M3 beton moeten worden toegevoegd dat is een gewicht van bijna 2000 ton!

Als de windmolen is ontmanteld, blijft deze basis voor altijd begraven in de grond.
Tijdens de exploitatie van de windturbine zal de mast door de wind op een zeer lage frequentie trillen en deze trillingen worden via de sokkel overgebracht in een straal van meer dan 100 meter rond de sokkel. Dierenleven wordt binnen deze zone hierdoor onmogelijk gemaakt.

De bladen van de turbine werken tegelijkertijd als gehaktmolen voor vogels.

The BBC says it wants to orientate its News Channel to international rather than British audiences because it can generate revenues internationally. Fair enough. But why should British licence payers pay for it?
