It's true.  People are behaving as though Britain's emissions are causing Britain's climate problem, but it doesn't work like that.  If we contribute less than one percent of global emissions then we contribute less than one percent of the problem.  And while we are virtue-signalling to the world with our net zero aspirations, Trump is going to be pedalling furiously in the opposite direction with "drill, baby, drill", and I wonder how much fossil fuel China will burn while its factories are churning out thousands of electric cars and buses for the world (Chinese irony?).

Meanwhile our already inadequate flood defences are crumbling.  200 years ago, living in river valleys and on coasts was a very good idea, but not any more.  In 200 years time or sooner, the combination of extreme weather and rising sea levels will have half the population running for the hills.  The government needs a department for climate defence, not net zero.

I've heard from two sources that the mayor is now going to be based in Chesterfield.  (It was originally going to be Nottingham.)  I don't know where she lives, but let's hope she has a long and potholy drive to get here!

I've just brought my wellies in from the shed to warm up indoors.  This is something I do at the beginning of every winter, but it's the first time the beginning of winter has occurred in March!

Meanwhile on the BBC website, in spite of the weather warnings about heavy snow causing all manner of disruption, the actual local forecast hasn't admitted to any snow at all - only sleet.  Maybe snow is too white for the BBC, white being politically incorrect nowadays.  Maybe sleet is better at meeting their diversity targets.

DH and his buyers believe that he's destroyed his art but not its value, by converting it into non-fungible tokens.  NFTs are like the King's New Clothes.  To a wise man, they are worth a lot of money, but to a fool, they are nothing.  Or is it the other way round?  There's a hint in an old saying: "A ???? and his money are soon parted".

I'm wondering if Harriet Harman's investigation will continue if Boris applies.  If he becomes PM and is then found guilty of misleading Parliament, he'll be banned from the Commons and there will have to be yet another leadership contest!

Truss imitating Thatcher: 
You turn if you want to;  the lady, erm, the lady will perhaps turn tomorrow.

Prophetic Peter Brookes cartoon in The Times yesterday.  HMQ with a look of abject horror on her face on meeting La Truss.  Couldn't take any more.

. . . will continue to cause major problems right up until the point he is finally shown the door.

And beyond, I fear.  He intends to remain "active" on the back benches.  I imagine he's planning dirty tricks already.
