I am going to London on Monday where I will stay for at least two days. It is another trial for a different action which will come to the full conclusion and if found guilty, also sentencing. We are hopeful of a not-guilty verdict, but you never know.

On my eY to yet another preliminary hearing of our trial for theM25 action in November 2022.
The six of us are going to be the first group of JSO supporters to be tried cor this action.
If we get a ‘not guilty’ verdict, that would greatly help the other 50+ supporters in follow up trials for the same action.
It’s some responsibility!

How Global Warming will lead to a much colder Britain?

It's all down to the ice on Greenland.
The Greenland ice cover is truly massive, up to 3 km deep. Just imagine that.
Global Warming is melting this ice at an ever-increasing rate. The resulting mass of freshwater runs off to the North Atlantic Ocean. There it meets the Gulf Stream of heavy salt water.
The more freshwater the slower the Gulf Stream is, now apparently the slowest in 1600 years.
Climate Scientists now think that the amount of freshwater rushing into the Atlantic may soon be enough to stop the Gulf Stream altogether and redirect it to the South.

That will be a disaster for the UK and much of Europe

First, our Winters will be much the same as Canada's, so meters of snow for several months each year.

Second, and much worse is the lack of rainfall during the Summer half of the year. That will reduce the usable arable land by five times (!!). We will certainly not be able to feed ourselves under such conditions.

Here are a couple of articles to explain it all in a bit more detail
