Wednesday 17th 41F, leaden overcast. Rain promised for this morning. Fictitious sunshine for this afternoon. It was already raining by 08.00. My walk is delayed. No point in getting wet for no good reason. It stopped raining so I went for a walk before lunch. Only to enjoy steady rain for half an hour. Traffic busy. A few small birds in the hedges. There were very brief clearings to watery sunshine in the late afternoon.
Record rainfall has hit North America. Vancouver is cut off from the rest of the world.

Meanwhile, flooding in Egypt washed scorpions into a town with fatalities and hundreds of casualties.
The smug Indian delegation brought "a breath of fresh air" to COP-out 2.7C. Darwin Award:

300,000-500,000 real people die, every year, from air pollution in Europe alone. Thank goodness for VW's "clean cars" and politicooze subsidies to reduce the price of diesel fuel. Safe in their hands? It makes you wonder about the pandemic numbers, doesn't it?
Just as I predicted, Pootin is using His gas pipelines as a political weapon. As energy prices soar, the Danish Government is to subsidize the poor who can't afford their energy bills. And there I was, thinking that energy poverty was their preferred weapon to reduce CO2. Mind you, there was an election looming at the time.
A minor Danish politician has criticized St Greta. Told us that as a schoolgirl [18?] she ought to leave it to elected representatives. Yeah, right! See recent COP-out 2.7C. Greta seemed to be the only adult present.
"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool. Than to speak and remove all doubt."
