Methinks Ms Thunberg Protests Too Much!

Posted on November 6, 2021 by davidsprott

There’s nothing wrong with protest. It serves a valuable purpose. But I suspect I’m not alone in thinking that Greta Thunberg leading tens of thousands of mostly young people in singing, “You can shove your climate crisis up your A**e” … Continue reading →

Prepare to Critically Assess the Hype Around COP26

Posted on October 27, 2021 by davidsprott

I’m reading a very interesting book by William Catton called Overshoot. Amazingly this was first published in 1980, yet describes where our world is today, how we arrived at the current mess and what we need to do to extricate ourselves. Continue reading →

Don’t Panic Mr. Mannering!

Posted on August 8, 2021 by davidsprott

I have made the point many times that it will be almost impossible to link individual events to global climate. Hard evidence is almost impossible to acquire until large numbers of events and lots of data are available. By then it will be obvious to all.
