Yes, thats right...our friend, with the brain the size of a small warm planet, says we no longer need data...just faith!

Employees are a cost, not a benefit. More employees reqd/MWh = more expense, lower productivity and lower GDP/capita
13 million employed in renewable would produce same power as (being generous) 250,000 in coal powered power.
It's back to pre-industrial revolution times. Next will be Horse/Ox powered power stations " 'cause they're renewable/green"
China, India etc are laughing at us destroying our economies.

"China announces programme for 13 million new renewables jobs
......
But skepticism by end of prog China will only be 15% renewables"
Does that mean they'll employ 80 million people in non renewable power ?
Anyway maybe China already gets 15% from dams already
"Hydropower accounts for 20 per cent of the country's total power production"
Ah old trick of saying hydro is not renewables

@Golf that comment was a follow on from the previous where I addressed @EM's link ..So the quote I began with came from @EM's link
"Right wing people tend believe they shouldn’t have to pay for someone else’s education or health service."hence my question to you

‘According to the mainstream media (read the BBC): if a Leftist wins an election it’s a mandate;
... if a conservative wins an election they need to heal the divide’
and MSM/BBC:
Castro was President, although some on the right called him a dictator...
Assad regime (not Gov't)
President Mugabe's Gov't, President Zuma's Gov't
So called terrorist group ISIS
Venezuela - mothers giving away or abandoning their children as they can't feed them, coffins rented, no loo paper... in Chavez/Maduro socialist utopia. Who? Where? Nope, never heard of that country.
East Aleppo - has more hospitals than any other 1/2 city - BBC/MSM tells us Assad/Putin bombed & destroyed another one everyday week after week.
If left/greens dislike something, something is controversial. If right, they oppose/block despite...
Labour MP on BBC: NHS cuts. It's back to the 1980s, Labour/unions demand 10% increase - increase is RPI+1 (say 4%) = 6% cut in funding.

what about all those BP North America folk ? all their data is anonymous and confidential? I'd expect that eventually the RFID (NFC) tags in the health trackers will be integrated in corporate access control mechanisms etc ...I know some of what Schlumberger subject its employees to in terms of intrusive monitoring of their lives *outside* work hours - which is added into their HR assessments....
Headbands to detect impure thoughts linked to corporate data centres which message rectal tasers?
The devices are "offered" at no cost - a free gift which one may decline. If they were compulsory and employer had access to all data I would not support; if employer had access to data whilst on premises/working I would consider arguments for and against.
As voluntary free gift, I would accept one and lock it down.

After listening to Paul Mason present R4 8pm prog I checked his Twitter feed.
- Oh what a coincidence; he is Labour Party connected.
- Someone seeks to debate him
@paulmasonnews- See Mason just pulls the label, sneer, dismiss trick to avoid the issues
@nhfinney talk to me when you believe in science mate
That's cos Nicholas Finney OBE defines himself as
Transport Policy Adviser-Passionate about leaving EU and proud to be a CO2 denier but wanting our environment to be protected

lol. Except for me, many other commenters, and, presumably, Entropic Man himself. None of us are censored.
I started commenting here because I think cAGW is probably a crock. An economically damaging crock that harms everybody, the poor more than the rich, and it needs to be publicised.

Here in France there seems to be a daily campaign against the internal combustion engine. Either from Paris or the Alps. I reckon France is heading back to the horse quicker than the UK. Today, for the first time that I've heard, someone mentioned wood fires as a contributor. When out on the bike, even on the N147, at this time of year the smell of woodsmoke is everywhere and certainly much more prevalent than diesel fumes.
Now the copy and paste journalists of the snowflake generation has taken on board the internal combustion enginein general and diesel in particular are the work of the devil than there's no going back.
