The reason the Met Office so persistently gets its seasonal forecasts wrong is that it has been hi-jacked from the role for which we pay it nearly £200 million a year, to become one of the world's major propaganda engines for the belief in man-made global warming. Over the past three years, it has become a laughing stock for forecasts which are invariably wrong in the same direction.

This video is a genuine piece of propaganda. Carbon is NOT a pollutant. It is true we need to address pollution, however reducing the "carbon footprint" is completely foolish.

How much carbon reduction is needed to reduce the temperature to the UN target?

Answer: A minimum of 80 years without electricity and without fuel (no heating, no cooking, no cars, no trucks, no tractors, no cargo boats, no planes)

We all should have as much information as we can about our planet. Everyone knows that when you abuse something it breaks. This book is recommended to everyone that lives on earth.

Wonderful topic. I am especially impressed with the writers, mainly Laura Mazur.

Climate change is a lie, its all about forming a global government to reduce the world population, and suppress the 3rd world. Globalists will not succeed.
