The Queen's Speech today set out proposals for 26 Bills. Not one of
them appears to mention climate change despite the fact that it is
probably the most important single issue faced by the country and the

Yes, very depressing Norman. But then again, what else do you expect
from the Tories. Climate change is an anathema to the Tory ideology of
unfettered capitalism. No surprises there.

The weather has been quite Tideswell-esque here lately. Only 4 hours of
sunshine for the last 4 days and a lot of rain. October is one of the
wettest months of the year here but so far, things are getting a bit
ridiculous. Monthly total now over 75 mm.

I know this is a weather site - but you can't just spout the idea that Capitalism is a bad thing. It has reduced poverty in every country where it is practised. The global warming problem will be solved by technology and economic progress. Socialism will just bring poverty and zero solutions.
