It's pretty sad, really!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138780.post-75469465786209678942011-01-30T00:14:44.141+00:002011-01-30T00:14:44.141+00:00Richard hopes - like me - that heads will roll.

Metaphorically, in my case, and his, too, I trust.<br />But I'm not going to hold my breath.<br />The last [Labour/Spendthrift/brown's Bills] government was almost criminally lackadaisical about continuity of power supply; the current [Dim Leb & (sort of) Tory] Coalition is showing all the alacrity of an arthritic arachnid about ordering/requesting/approving power stations (other then, as noted, ex-Eurocat Huehne's windmills. No wind, no power.}. <br /><br />There will be gas available - but at a price. Better, too, that that is used for transport [no Sulphur emissions; shipping is looking at using gas . . . .] than baseload power. <br /><br />Global warming; my view is that we do not yet have enough - reliable - data to make a good judgement. That said, it makes sense to do 'things' [heat houses, move goods or passengers, etc.] as energy-efficiently [= as cheaply] as possible.<br /><br />But terminological inexactitudes [Churchill's phrase for economy with the actualite] should not be acceptable from any institution. Let alone the Met Office.Autochthonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138780.post-42453420785756969132011-01-29T21:03:25.719+00:002011-01-29T21:03:25.719+00:00Great work.

Unfortunately Met Office is accountable if they are part of the 'solution' of saving gaia from the man-curse. <br />Get ready for more lying, corruption, opression, propaganda, brainwashing of our kids, profiteering, outright stealing, many deaths and loss of democracy in order to achieve environmental utopia. /sarc off. It not like the world has not had this madness visit upon it before. <br />Next FOI question may answer - were the models totaly wrong or did management lie about the forecast?<br />Either way - not another penny of taxpayer money for the Met Office - let them compete in the forecasting marketplace.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00565778233145871826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138780.post-25953914061825635282011-01-29T10:12:42.162+00:002011-01-29T10:12:42.162+00:00While I generally concur, from what I've learn...While I generally concur, from what I've learned about giving detailed information to 'important' people, they specifically want "executive summaries" like the simple report given out. However, I think these summaries make it very easy to pass the buck between the departments because of their (when it comes to the crunch) vagueness. It'd be interesting to see a more detailed document on how they actually came to those figures!Catherine Fnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138780.post-31396287081137918192011-01-29T07:57:35.281+00:002011-01-29T07:57:35.281+00:00Great work, Katabasis.
