Like the Christian missionaries of old, Justin Rowlatt journeys to the benighted ‘Dark’ Continent to bring glad tidings of green salvation to endemic problems of constant warfare and poverty. Climate change is “turbo-charging” problems in Somalia, but there is hope in harnessing the bountiful breezes and sun beams, the BBC’s High Priest of Climate Alarm reports. Somalia is not always an easy place in which to live, but as usual with the neo-missionaries of Gaia worship the state-funded saviour of souls confuses individual weather events with long-term climate changes. His message of a changing climate bringing woe and misfortune might collect more believers if the five-year average temperature in the country in 2022 was not almost the same as that recorded in 1922 – 26.98°C compared to 26.92°C. No change there to worry about – or in the amount of rainfall, since the 1991-2020 period was more or less the same as that recorded 100 years ago.
If rising temperatures are your thing, Somalia is probably the worst country you could pick to peddle an existential climate crisis, as the World Bank graph above shows. Along with static precipitation, a current average 277.8 mm per year compared to 271.1 mm between 1901-1930, the country can hardly be said to have a turbo-charged changing climate – stationary climate might be a better description.

The government in 2020 – “We need to dish out money as quickly as possible to anyone who asks for it.”
Labour etc – “Do it quicker!”
Yes and Labour wanted / want earlier, harder and longer lockdowns, too.
In the North West it is well known that the curry industry enjoyed record, erm , “sales” during the “Eat out to Help out” free for all. Some of the businesses had rather short lifespans and mysteriously disappeared once the free cash scheme ended. I don’t know why. Very strange.
“Covid” was the biggest fraud in history
Governments everywhere stole our money and gave it to rich firms selling “tests” and “vaccines” that were not fit for purpose
True and Nut zero running a very close second!
Actually Nut Zero may be bigger as it will end up having a much longer run
Members of the House of Lords had fingers in the pie too. Baroness Michelle Mone was associated with the PPE scandal. She is currently on leave of absence. I suppose it was only several millions of pounds of public money anyway.
Ah yes Michelle. Did us for a paltry twenty six million (£) wasn’t it? She would probably be classed as a lightweight dipper.
The intention behind all the ridiculous and apparently reckless spending is to bankrupt the country. Clearly the Tories have been given that honour and Kneel has been given the job of selling the country. I expect a financial disaster within the next two years. And of course once the wholly engineered financial crisis hits some pretty severe restrictions on human rights will be required because even some of the sheep will be upset.
Didn’t Nadine Dorries in her book describe ‘blob’ controlling the tories and their intention was wipe out the Conservative party. That would make sense because if that was their intention what would they be doing any different. I would also extend that to what would the Archbishop of Canterbury be doing differently is the intention was to destroy the church from within?
Precisely, but I have long held the view that bankrupting the country is deliberate. Just look at the latest article ATL – the Navy spending £2.4 million on a diversity team when the service can’t even manage to protect us from dinghy invaders.
It’s a very sick joke.
Rather like the Pentagon shifting uncomfortably on a $2.3trn unexplained deficit the day before a provident ‘9/11’ airliner hitting amidships and destroying all the records, there was surely no more expeditious an opportunity to hide an awful lot of skulduggery and double-dealing than a seasonally normal respiratory virus the better to enrich the usual favoured few.
I am sure that their thirty pieces of silver will ease the progress of their souls.
I need to bind my head up tightly to try and prevent it exploding. I’ve run out of fingers and toes to keep count on, even at a billion per digit.
I really feel that a trip out with a pair of large pliers is called for.
My wife was subject to a fraud over the Covid support for business but the bank involved, HMRC and the regulators were not interested.
