 What Information?

It was quite extraordinary watching the Minister for Local Government making a promise on TV to provide information to the public in the future. 

To respond in such a way to a strange journalist that has issues was amazing.

Ministers of the Crown normally have weasel words to extract themselves from any semblance of  a straight answer so it was a puzzle that Watts was so direct in making a promise to make 'information' public.

The question is what information? Whos information? 

Straight away we have a problem .For a start having Minister for Climate Change is questionable. Of course it is fashionable but why do we have one?
The Climate has always changed. Nature is a wonderful thing and those of us that live with nature understand its complexities. Any attempt to try and harness its seasonal moves is silly.

A monster has been created and the 'information' the Minister was alluding to appears to be that around natural events or disasters and the industry that has been created out of understanding nature.

At this moment in time we have had a fair share of events that have shaken some of us out of our warm beds and tried our strengths to the extreme.
Trouble is those that benefit have lost the plot and those that may bear some responsibility have pulled the covers over.

Information, Mr Watts , is wide and varied and we have incredible access to all manner of information through our screens and search engines.

It can be twisted and bent , interpreted and  modified  .It depends on who is the beneficiary.

From the outset there is a problem. The baseball bat of climate change..

Talk of mandatory adaptation planning for Councils is frightening. They will be using information.  What information?
The power of Government and Councils in the future in the name of  climate change doesn't bear thinking about.
It is all based on a lie. That is a fact .

Carbon is not a problem. Climate change is not man made but  decisions made in the halls of power will revolve around the false information , carbon naughty  and man made climate change real.

Decisions will be made with no perspective. No generational knowledge . No logic .No rational thought.

Information on risk and adapting will be made with modelling and speculation.

Unfortunately the people will pay a massive price for the deception.
