COP27 Is A Downpayment On Disaster
By Paul Homewood As usual the BBC paints the latest COP as a “historic deal”! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/science-environment-63656412 Despite the hype, very little has been achieved, as the BBC have to admit: Although a fund has been agreed in principle, there is no agreement about how much is put in, or who […] read more

Homeward bound: Albuquerque, New Mexico
Our day began in Flagstaff, Arizona, with a lengthy breakfast and post-prandrial conversation with Larry Lambert, who blogs at Virtual Mirage. It was great!

*"Unstoppable Crash Worse than 2008 Coming"* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "Six-time, best-selling financial author James Rickards says the upcoming book “Sold Out” lays out the case why a huge crash is already a certainty sometime in 2023.

Those who tell us to take it seriously show no evidence of taking it seriously. So concerned (not) about the impact of t... read more
