But I am getting mighty hacked off by the speed that my MPs are willing to act. Don’t they appreciate who we are all working for? If they did, they’d work harder, I can tell you. Austin Mitchell has it absolutely right when he calls them “mundane hacks” not fit to be at Westminster. They’re going to get a shock. Because if we don’t succeed in meeting the targets I have been set, they will be right there in the camps with you lot. These idiots don’t know what’s good for them.

Nuclear fusion should be the future of any sane government energy policy. It is the most energy dense method of power generation that we are aware of. It's clean, and it doesn't emit any of those harmful, poisonous, carbon dioxide fumes we hear about from time to time.

Whereas nuclear fission - the type of nuclear power generation in use today - occurs when energy is released as the result of splitting an atom apart, fusion occurs when atomic nucleii fuse together to form a heavier nucleus. This is the process going on inside the Sun.

Mexico is in the midst of its worst drought in over 70 years. 1.7 million cattle have died of starvation and thirst so far this winter, and crops have been devastated. The drought is affecting almost 70 percent of the country, devastating farm life, and is expected to continue well into 2012.

Despite this, the WWF and Conagua would prefer to see people die than permit the development of water power and irrigation systems in the region.

For some reason, a contact forwarded me a story from the Guardian originally published in 2002. It was just another example of WWF propaganda regarding the Earth's population. What interested me most, though, was the effort to demonise the potential for colonisation of space.

The Guardian report rants:

The UK's first hydrogen refuelling station has been opened in ... Swindon. Hmmm.

The press release describes it as a "collaborative" effort between the British Oxygen Company, Forward Swindon economic initiative and Honda, who's absolutely brillaint FCX fuel cell powered family saloon has been featured within the pages of the UK Column a number of times.

Honda is hoping that the station will serve as an example of the public-private-partnerships necessary to rollout the necessary infrastructure to support their hydrogen cars nationwide.

Surprisingly the BBC propaganda machine accurately reports that Shropshire is spending even more money - now more than £1 million - on its own special piece of ugly meaningless art. In this case a 40ft high stone arch called the Quantun Leap, to supposedly celebrate the birth of Charles Darwin. 

Following the failure to reach binding Treaty agreements amongst the Nations attending the Cop 15 Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in November 2009 UK Column readers have probably already noted that media coverage of the 2010 COP 16 Conference in Cancun, Mexico was surprisingly low key. In fact the Wikileaks affair and the tuition fees protests might be viewed as yet another deliberate media attempt at public distraction.

In June 2010 Lord Hannay, United Nations UK Association Chairman conceded that

No-one believes in Global Warming anymore, which, I guess, is why the Bilderberg Group wants to begin pushing "Global Cooling," and why we are encouraged to call it "Global Climate Discruption," from now on.

So I've been wondering for some time now, how would the green lobby respond?

Would they ramp up a massive advertising campaign? Would they strike back with some fantastic new scientific "evidence?"

Well, no, actually.

They have responded by threatening to blow up anyone who disagrees with them.

The only other thing that I will eternally thank you for in the South West, is that one of you gave me the definition of the word Partnerships. 'The sublimation or the suppression of loathing in the pursuit of funding'. An expression that I am eternally grateful to you for, quite wonderful.

Along side co-author Richard Tren, an economist from South Africa and chairman of Africa Fighting Malaria, Roberts stated that "millions have died" and "severe and greivous harm" because of the irrational attacks on DDT. He emphasised that anti-DDT groups have to be held accountable for the harm, that we have to recind the World Health Organisation resolution that stopped DDT use in 1997, and we have to remove authority over public health malaria decisions from organizations that prioritise "environmental" protection over protecting public health.

After the usual introductions, Sir Jock began his talk by noting that of the vast range of topics he could choose to talk about on this occasion, it was clear that in talking of military plans and objectives, there was a need for clarity about what is the underlying political vision upon which those objectives were based before any clearly measurable goals and metrics could be established.

And so began his pitch for the 21st Century British "Grand Strategy".
