The wooly world of Chris Huhne

Two events last week led me to muse on the links between the man who is now our Energy and Climate Change Secretary, Chris Huhne, and the extinction of the woolly mammoth. A team of scientists suggest in Nature Geoscience that the sudden extinction of the mammoths some 12,000 years ago, as the world emerged from the last ice age, may have had a dramatic effect on the Earth's climate. They argue that the emission by these giant herbivores of nine million tons a year of methane, a greenhouse gas 25 times more powerful than CO2, was so significant that their disappearance led to a sharp drop in global temperatures, and the world temporarily froze over again in the re- glaciation known as the Younger Dryas.

This is a theory so batty one scarcely knows whether to laugh or cry. If that comparatively tiny amount of methane was so powerful, how did the world manage to remain so cold during the million years of ice ages when eructating megafauna were abundant? Clearly those scientists were so carried away by the obsession with climate change that they hadn't the slightest idea what they were talking about. But even more is this true, it seems, of the man now in charge of Britain's energy policy.

Last week Mr Huhne was virtually the only politician in Europe imploring Brussels to stick to its latest proposal, that the EU should raise its target for cutting CO2 emissions in the next 10 years from 20 per cent to 30 per cent. As the EU faces its worst ever economic crisis, other countries, led by France and Germany, are horrified. They cannot imagine how they could afford even a 20 per cent cut.

But Britain already stands alone as the only country in the world committed by law - the 2008 Climate Change Act - to cutting its emissions in the next 40 years by a staggering 80 per cent, at a cost estimated by Mr Huhne's energy department at Pounds 18 billion every year until 2050. (The ministry claims that this would amount to Pounds 404 billion, but it can't do its sums properly: 40 times 18 is not 404 - the total is Pounds 734 billion.) The fact is that there is no one in the world, least of all Mr Huhne, who can explain how we could cut our emissions by four fifths without shutting down virtually all our existing economy.

What carries this even further into the higher realms of lunacy is that such a Quixotic gesture would do nothing to halt the world's fast-rising CO2 emissions, already up 40 per cent since 1990. This point is made very forcefully in a new book, Climate: The Great Delusion (Stacey International), by a much-respected French engineer, Christian Gerondeau.

As this convert from global warming orthodoxy to hardheaded scepticism explains, it is now more obvious than ever that the developing countries, led by India and China (the world's largest CO2 emitter), haven't the slightest Citizen Watch intention of cutting back their emissions. China plans to build a new coal-fired power station every week until 2030. Each year it now adds more to global CO2 emissions than the entire contribution made by Britain (which is responsible for less than 2 per cent of the world total).

There is no way, Gerondeau argues, for us to prevent the world's CO2 emissions from doubling by 2100. Fortunately, he goes on to explain why this will have remarkably little effect on climate: he has come to agree with all those eminent scientists who believe that this is largely shaped by natural factors beyond our control, such as the sun and ocean currents. Whatever little Britain chooses to Fake Yves Saint Laurent Handbags do is thus quite irrelev

paperbacks books

1 D-Day By Antony Beevor Penguin, Pounds 16.99 May 6, 1944, was the long awaited day on which Allied troops at last landed in France to begin their difficult journey to eventual victory in Berlin. Antony Beevor's narrative skill, backed as usual by unfaultable research, brings it all back to life, so we get a wonderful feel of the times and of the principal characters involved; the nicotine- stained Eisenhower, the unbearably cocky Montgomery, Churchill with his 'obsessive desire to be close to the centre of action' and so on.

Easily the best account I've read of those earth-shaking weeks. NicHolas BagNall 2 Harold Larwood Movado Replica Watch By Duncan Hamilton QuercuS, Pounds 8.99 Larwood was the great England fast bowler who was central to the Bodyline controversy that rocked the game in the 1930s. Schoolboys would remind each other that his bowling had given him distressingly blackened feet, and speak in hushed tones about how many pair of boots he got through. Duncan Hamilton expertly brings him to life, and reminds us of the high feelings that marked our relationship with Australia at that time. NB 3 The Parthenon By Mary Beard Profile, Pounds 8.99 Surely no other building in the world has aroused as cheap ugg much passion as this. Here Mary Beard recounts the astonished reactions through the centuries of those who have seen it (though there have been exceptions - 'the bloody Parthenon' William Golding called it after a good lunch in Athens). Now, tourist- overrun as it is, it continues to amaze even the most rubbernecked of its visitors. There's an excellent account of Lord Elgin's acquisition of the Marbles. NB 4 The White Woman on the Green Bicycle By Monique Roffey Simon &SchuSter, Pounds 7.99 Equal love and attention go into the marriage and the country at the heart of this Orange Prize shortlisted novel. Ex-pat couple George and Sabine have been living in Trinidad for 50-odd years and the story teases out the gradual disintegration of their relationship and pseudo- assimilation into Trinidadian life. It's a book packed with meaty themes, from racism and corruption to passion and loyalty, and the odd moment that doesn't quite ring true is easily forgiven because the rest is so utterly convincing. Holly Kyte 5 Heartland By Anthony Cartwright tindal Street PreSS, Pounds 7.99 Set in the West Midlands in 2002 Balenciaga Handags Replica as the BNP is gaining support and England face Argentina in the World Cup, Heartland follows the travails of several characters but centres on Rob, the failed pro footballer whose childhood friend Adnan has gone missing after 9/11. Cleverly structured around football matches and making good use of the region's heavy dialect, it's an ambitious, authentic - and occasionally bleak and alienating - slice of modern Britain. HK 6 The Junior Officers' Reading Club By Patrick Hennessey Penguin, Pounds 9.99 Trained at Sandhurst, the author (a hell of a guy) has served with the Grenadiers both in Iraq and in Afghanistan. There are no frills in his prose - what he has given us is a frank, man-to-man, few-details-spared account of what hell it all was, with not many heroics but plenty of sodden sleeping bags, dismembered limbs and the like. Don't join the Army, is the clear message, unless you're prepared to experience such horrors. NB

Park is a safer place

I AM thrilled to read a letter from Frances Webber in the post recently stating she Replica Christian Dior Handbags now feels confident to walk in Filwood Park again.

It has taken over a year to get the park back to the high quality park the residents of Filwood deserve. There were many drug dens in the park this caused a lot of anti-social behaviour and made the park look terrible and run down. I have to say a big thank you to Pete Clark, Julian Cox and their team from Quadron for the fantastic work they have done to bring the park up to the high standard it now is. A new litter bin and dog Clip on charms waste bin have been installed. The dog warden team has given me some dog waste bags, so if you see me walking my dog, Kiska, in the park please ask me for some. All the drug dens have been removed and the areas landscaped. We have a regular litter pick there now. The PCSOs regularly patrol the park and all of this helps to keep it to this high standard. The picture you put in the post with Frances' letter Replica Chopard was not from a clean up in Filwood Park but from the Northern slopes.

I hope many more residents now feel that they can enjoy this valuable local green space and I promise that the park will continue to get investment from the council to keep it this way.

Councillor Chris Jackson, Labour, Filwood, Bristol City Council.

These bags were put out on the correct day and time.

This also happened a few months ago.

Twerton thriller paves way for

THE defining moment of the 1989-90 season was one match: Bristol Rovers versus Bristol City at Twerton Park on the evening of May 2. Should the Robins be on song, the Third Division title would be theirs. If the Gas produced a match-winning perfor mance, promotion at least would be in the bag for them.

Mulberry Fake Handbags

This re-arranged derby match had originally been set for February 3, when City had four straight wins behind them while Rovers had two draws and two defeats in their previous four league matches.

Rovers were now in a far better vein of form than their neighbours, with just one defeat in their last 20 league games. In contrast, City had spluttered of late, with two draws and a defeat.

A record Twerton Park crowd of 9,813 were packed into the tiny home that Rovers shared with Bath City.

The advantage went to the home side just past the midway point of the first half. Their leading scorer, David Mehew, crossed the ball into the box and found the muscular Devon White, pictured left, who fired past Ronnie Sinclair in the City goal.

Gerry Francis' side clearly had their opponents on the back foot at the break, and they piled on the pressure after the restart.

Carl Saunders nodded wide of Sinclair's goal, while City's David Rennie had his header saved by Brian Parkin.

Saunders, enjoying his first season with Rovers following a Pounds 70,000 move from Stoke City, set up White to claim his 12th goal of the season and put the home side firmly in the box seat.

The game was put way beyond any City fightback when Ian Holloway converted a penalty on 62 minutes after a handball from Andy Llewellyn on the line.

Despite unrest among the City fans Clip on charms that briefly threatened to cause an abandonment, Rovers won 3-0 to secure Division Two football for the first time since 1980-81.

The result also meant that Rovers had completed the season without a single home defeat in the league.

Replica Zenith Watches

Both clubs still had one match to play, though, and on the following Saturday, May 5, Rovers crowned an extraordinary season by beating Blackpool 3-0 at Bloomfield Road.

The title was theirs and Vaughan Jones became only the second Rovers captain to lift the Division Three Championship trophy, emulating Ray Warren in 1953.

While the Pirates were squashing the Tangerines, Joe Jordan's City team got over their Twerton disappointment by thumping Walsall 4-0 at Ashton Gate to clinch their own promotion.

There was just a matter of a day-out at Wembley for Rovers, as they faced Tranmere Rovers in the Leyland Daf Trophy final.

In front of more than 53,000 fans, Rovers failed to follow up their title success as goals from Ian Muir and Jim Steele secured a 2-1 win for the Birkenhead outfit. White scored for Rovers.

The double promotion for the Bristol clubs was repeated in 2006- 07, but not in such dramatic fashion.
