I see the French bureaucrats have all got numberplates there are odd numbered.
I see the fiendish plan they have.
Every now and then they get two days in a row, the last of the month 31 and then the first of the next month very clever.

I really like France and have visited several times often staying well away from Paris - (Alps)
Â
Having said that Paris is the most visited city in the world and with very good reason.
Â
The folks are fine.
Â
When it comes to politics their modus operandi is far more self serving and devious than even the Poms.
Â
Their technology is fine - a great deal of western aluminium is smelted on Pechiney designed smelters.

Little ice age to hit in 2030s, say university researchers
<p style="text-align:inherit;"> Solar activity will fall by 60 per cent during the 2030s to produce conditions last seen during the âlittle ice ageâ that began in 1645, accordÂing to Âresearch claiming to have more accurately measured the sunâs 11-year âheartbeatâ.
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Times New Roman', sans-serif;font-size:19px;">Scientists at the University of Northumbria in northern England have claimed a new understanding of the sunâs solar cycle, which they say produces unprecedentÂedly accurate predictions of irregularities in the solar cycle.
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Times New Roman', sans-serif;font-size:19px;">The findings were presented to Britainâs National Astronomy Meeting, which is sponsored by the Royal Astronomical Society.
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Times New Roman', sans-serif;font-size:19px;"> Release of the research follows a report by the British Met Office last month which said the sunâs power was weakening at its fastest rate for 9300 years, doubling the odds of a return to âlittle ice ageâ conditions by mid-century.
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Times New Roman', sans-serif;font-size:19px;">The Met Office said the chance of a repeat of conditions which last occurred between 1645 and 1715, when Londonâs Thames River regularly froze over, was now rated at between 15 and 20 per cent, up from 10 per cent in 2010.
Â
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Times New Roman', sans-serif;font-size:19px;">The weaker solar activity of that time is known as the Mauder Minimum and occurred in the middle of a period known as the Âlittle ice age."
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Times New Roman', sans-serif;font-size:19px;">Â
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Times New Roman', sans-serif;font-size:19px;">Yep the science which was in is now not in, and new science is on the way in!!!

<div>An international report compiled by a US environment body claims 2014 was the warmest year ever recorded on Earth.
Â
Â
</div>
Â
Â
Â
Since we have only been recording global temperatures for less than 100 years and the world is just a little older than that the numbers are to say the least - unrepresentative of the earths temperature history.
Â
Mere inspection of the geomorphology of the earth demonstrates successive waves of temperature variation - almost all before the arrival of humankind.
Â
Â
Interpretation of the data in the light of unrecorded climate change demonstrated by the rocks is the key here.

Quote:<div>A prominent British Tory MP has launched a stinging attack on Prime Minister Tony Abbott's climate change policies, calling them "incomprehensible", "illogical" and a distortion of "what it means to be a Conservative".
Mr Abbott's dismissal of climate science ... speaks to a distorted vision of what it means to be a Conservative.Â
Â
Richard Benyon, Tory MP
Richard Benyon, a former environment minister under British leader David Cameron, says Mr Abbott's decision to become the first world leader to abolish a carbon price is "mystifying" and his attack on renewable energy targets "bewildering", especially for a "supposedly pro-business government".

I understand you have a differing opinion Aloy...
Â
That said, why are you against renewable energy and cleaning up our environment regardless if it is responsible for global warming or not?
Â
Can't you see Abbott's policy in this regard is simply backward?
Â
Time to clean up the Earth, who could possibly be against that and still be considered rational. Now I know you are a rational man... so how about a change of heart on this one mate?

I'm not against clean energy at all - I am against taxpayer money supporting established sources - I am fpor Abbotts idea of bulk Solar generation - this is Australia we have the natural conditions for this.
Â
Only with bulk generation can we support our economy toward growth and jobs.
Â
I am not against cleaning up the earth it's a question of stewardship - that said I am against those who want it all and they want it now regardless of the effect it will have on jobs and individual futures.

Baby and bathwater spring to mind.

Â
Current solar panels are very carbon intensive to produce, partially negating any benefit for years. There are newer types of solar panels that generate 10 times more power than most current panels, however these have yet to make it into mass production.
Â
Abbott doesn't even like wind power Aloy... he has put hundreds out of work in the wind industry.
Â
Baseload power can be generated from renewables...

What they're saying is it took an unusually cool summer to bring the ice thickness back to where it was 40 years ago.
What are the odds of a cool summer in that region every year?
