Protective custody for 4 weeks. If no fires then, but fires when he is released...balance of proof...

Well natural measures will limit population. Food prices. A scarcity of food. Oil prices. A scarcity of oil. Of course, if the Organic Movement had its way and no man made fertilisers were used it would happen in 15 years as food yields halved. Remember, about 500 million people are kept alive by ca...

Monbiot's argument is typical stupidity.

It's your fault so you can't discuss it.. so no-one should.

I quote from the book: "He estimates that while food production has grown globally by 145% over the past 40 years, African food production has fallen by 10% since 1960, which he attributes to low investment. " Pull the other one. "Low investment" is a nice way of saying .. wars, ...

US embassies in the past have been noted for idiotic advice and comments to Washington.

My bees - who had stayed safely in hives for a month - came out for a quick fly around, toilet and to throw out their dead.

Lost 10% of my raspberry bushes last year due to the cold. (plus others non fruit) Had bumper pear and apple crops though.

Bit mixed..

I know the earth is warming. But the climate warmists who have been shrill and unequivocal about the effects of global warming .. and who keep telling us winters will be mild and wet ... have zero credibility. That includes the UK's Met Office whose six month forecasts have been 180 degrees wrong. T...

-11C last night. Still warm compared to January 2010 when we saw -19C one night..
