As an 'organisation' it can do anything it wants within the Law, what it cannot do is take foreign money to operate a subsidiary to pump one sided propaganda and benefit from being a charity. After requiring the charity to propose a whole series of changes “(the Charity Commission ) expect the trustees to now fully implement the proposed changes. On that basis, we are satisfied the concerns raised are now resolved.” The key word is they "expect the trustees to now fully implement the proposed change" i.e. and become compliant in not being biased, not misusing foreign money and not spouting bias.

We had the pause in rising temperatures, so her is a graph from NASA showing temperatures still increasing. https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/ And of course, if the global temperature is increasing, the sea level will be increasing. https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/sea-level/ I guess people can argue that we have been subject to 'green taxes' and the temperatures are still rising, yes it may not make any difference, we can do better, doing nothing is not a good option. Increasing numbers do believe in climate change, despite Donald Trump and lack of political action, have you changed your opinion? https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/uk-climate-change-real-accept-majority-global-warming-poll-finds-a7909841.html It's OK us doing our bit what about rest of the world 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Having read a great deal about weather and climate from many different sources, I find it impossible to reject the idea that the climate is changing, including micro climates. I just reject the idea that there is an emergency or a crisis. For now. Impartiality and open peer review is important, the awarding of research grants to University's in the UK was discussed on time team early in the new century, it was mentioned at the time that if global warming wasn't mentioned you were unlikely to get a grant, GWPF encourages open peer review. Who can forget how Paul Hudson was pilloried for revealing the controversy around the university of east Anglia leaked emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi-related, it is also interesting to see who funds surveys of any nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
