If only, as a government agency we generate our own revenue, through discretionary and non discretionary government contracts and commercial work so no the less work = more taxes equation fall flat this time round. Just because they've stopped with the Barbie summer nonsense these models are still running, the work goes on, just less emphasis in making the Met Office look a complete cock in the public domain!!

When you talk of a "Barbie Summer" is that similar to a Ken winter ?

Ahyeee, Al Scotes-men ken winter..'tis the period from August to June, in their homeland..Ye ken?

Anyhow..back on track...The latest Ibuki satellite info regarding the 'bogey-man CO2 tax beastie' has revealed an inconvenient truth ... some unpleasant data which (shock-horror)seems illustrate that the underdeveloped world emits far more CO2 than previously imagined, even more than many industrialised Western nations.

It seems to confirm that the more industrialised a country is the more it absorbs CO2 and the more sparsely populated and rural a country is, the more it emits.

So a little political tampering is required before the full facts are published
