We can no longer ignore the AMOC “bomb”
Recently, large numbers of protesters have been arrested under the Government’s terrorism legislation for simply holding a sign. Meanwhile, another group of protesters were not arrested, even though they brought a massive bomb to the headquarters of the BBC, ITV and the Metropolitan Police! Of course, the bomb was fake, but it illustrated very wellContinueContinue reading “We can no longer ignore the AMOC “bomb””

Any reaction less than a war footing spells disaster.
Ian Wray again attempts to misinform readers about climate change (Sheffield Telegraph 20/07/23), but I don’t think they will fall for his ridiculous argument.

Much of the electricity you use in your house originates from Drax Power Station at Selby. It produces 6% of the country’s electricity.
