These might be the perfect solution for life at the homestead in winter – especially for those venturing into the attic of an evening.

  1. is it a requirement to look like an idiot whilst wearing them?;-)

    they do look snug though.

A load of hot air

CO2 is a trace gas in the atmosphere. Plants thrive as a result of having it available for photosynthesis. Man’s CO2 addition is about 2 to 3% of that very small trace and any regulating we might do will amount to nothing in terms of changing the CO2 quantity. Basically, the 2 to 3% of a trace means little, even if CO2 has an effect on climate, which seems unlikely, as the release of CO2 in nature is caused by climate (temperature) change, rather than the other way round.

  1. I’ve been seeing a lot of this kind of analysis appear recently. I tweeted this last week:

    Which clearly shows global temperature to be a cyclical thing, but it obviously bears no resemblance to any chart that i’ve seen previously (generally showing an exponential increase) . I wonder which ones have been statistically manipulated…!

No more shorts

Bitterly cold with frost possibly persisting through the day. Heavy snowfall may push down from the north.
