for Paul Homewood, 4.1.22

Paul, I am sure you are a man of integrity from what I have read of yours.

It is brilliant that you are challenging the conventional wisdom on climate change and keeping the scientists on their toes.  However, are you not concerned about the rapid rise of GHG in the atmosphere that must be changing its chemical composition - for good or ill?  Or, am I mistaken?

Could you, perhaps, believe that every journalist wants to do a good and fair report for all sides?  There is no conspiracy, I believe.  There was some funny business going at the Uni of E Anglia and the hacked emails, I thought.  Or, did you approve of the hacking?

In addition, although human-induced climate change is now accepted only in theory, by all with the recent declarations of a climate emergency, it has not made a scrap of difference in reality.  We are all carrying on as normal with NO concession whatsoever to the warnings from the vast majority of climate scientists.  They are simply not believed, in actual fact, from the way we each and everyone carry on as if there is nothing to be concerned about!

Please don't get het up with reporters highlighting records.  It's all good entertainment for readers and something for journalists to write about.

Remember, nothing will change, anyway with economic growth or economic greed always being paramount.  Our high impact consumption of finite fossil fuels and the conversion of countryside into concrete, brick and tarmac is continuing apace.  Now we see food farms converted into solar farms, High Speed too fast to stop still needing the present intercity service and burying nature, of which we are part!

I would love you to highlight the urgency of every building being converted into a mini nuclear fusion power station with PV solar on every roof.  In this way we can become more independent of Russian gas and French nuclear electricity.  In eight years, I have exported 32,000 kWh of electricity from my 6.24 kWp array for others to use via the grid.  I'm doing something practical about the rising cost of gas that will be seen again when shortages arise.
