Will this cold weather ever stop?  We have had -7C on our thermometer.  The ponds are frozen, and the temperature has failed to rise above zero for days.  Where has this global warming gone, or is it another con by our politicians and the green  groups. If we are cold, then one assumes there must be a balanced hot area in the North.  To me it does not seem  right that all of Europe is cold,  and that Canada is having a cold winter as well.  Sea ice in the arctic was at a high this summer as well.

Typical of Putin to cut off the gas when it is cold. At least we have our wood burner, fed almost exclusively on hard wood. In this cold weather, how have the wind farms been doing.  Oh not a lot, generating nothing.  Cold weather comes with no wind.  Seems to me a rather waste of money.  Time the UK stepped up to the task and built more nuclear reactors.  At least they work, look at France which generates 90% of their electricity with nuclear.   It’s time something is done, even if it’s opening the closed coal mines and building more coal-fired powerstations before our lights start going out.

Talking about lights, we can not buy any more filament lights, at least the type you can see by.  Another green con, and instead all the mercury from the new low energy lights will now go into landfill, polute the ground water and make us all brain dead.  Maybe the EU and our Government want to us to be brain dead, so we just accept their dictacts without argument.
