David- thought you might be interested in this new song for COP26. It is now available on all major streaming channels (Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify). Pray that delegates and leaders may get to hear it too! Ken
How much climate change is due to human activities?

Re Russia , a Muslim male and a Russian female were jailed for 10 months because they “insulted the feelings of believers” :

The Muslim should also be deported to his native Tajikistan where he should , if he is brave enough , perform the same stunt outside the National Mosque in Dushanbe, but this time with a Muslim female accomplice.
The Climate Change scam may mean that Greta Thunberg and her lickspittle minions may in time ban any reference to coal and the people associated with it , a la slavery.
Pity though .

Hi David,
To categorically say that ‘heat power pumps’ don’t work on the basis of Mr Humphrys article in the newspapers about retrofitting one in his house is probably a little unwise.
Heat pumps do work and are proven technology. The air source heat pump that warms my house works just fine and provides more than enough space heating and hot water all year round. The running costs are about the same as a typical gas boiler and may make sense for new build houses in areas where there is no existing piped gas supply.
However as many have pointed out, to retrofit a heat pump in a house that has a traditional boiler is a very expensive proposition because, as well installing the heat pump, it necessitates changing all the radiators from normal high-temp/low-volume radiators to larger low-temp/high-volume ones.
The electronic panel controlling these heating systems are rather complex and most domestic users would find them very difficult to understand and set up correctly. It is no longer as simple as just setting a thermostat and a time switch.

The West must be in utterly dire straits if an ex-KGB goon like Putin has a firmer grasp on how to run a country justly and sensibly than the woke mob taking over the US.
It is quite terrifying just how quickly “the ends justify the means” thinking is taking over as Christianity is pushed out of the public mindset. The idea that humans are basically good and don’t need any moral restraint or instruction from a higher authority is quite possibly the most dangerous lie ever told.
