Day-to-day weather, with all its extremes, is "just weather", according to the IPCC. With their authority onside, we can shrug off the BBC's melodramatic climate reports and misinformation, says Mark Ellse.

all dead naturally. And well that doesn't happen in the city, and I'm sure that some readers in Ireland might have had the same experience, am I blighted by a geilt?
thoughts on the España of two towers and "y plus ultra" are written up at

Rajoy is the succesor of Aznar who in tears handed him power the day before yesterday.
It is too soon to say whether or not he is a John Major type figure but tellingly the popular gay front are sueing a PSOE figure for calling him a "big poof". Send Seanín to Madrid?
Zapatero leader of the PSOE "new labour" opposition party, the only politician likely to lead España if Aznar is rejected at the next election has issued his "plan for the future".
Zapatero opposes the Basque led (PNV) "external association" plan. His thoughts on spanish unity are thus:
Each homerule region will be allowed representation in Europe. The "spanish presidency" will become "less important".
Thus the new labour of spain may support increased Catalan "regionalism" which would mean, lowering the tax sent to the central gov.
**** Another thing most people probably don't know about the Basque: it is the only home rule region of the spanish state that has the right to raise tax. And it does.
The reform of the Spanish State will take place in the next four years, and will have immediate ramifications for Europe as a whole. The EU is in the interim phase of it's expected amplification to the east. The constitution shall soon leave the table and hit the legislation chambers, how the smaller regions and nations are facilitated by the Spanish state will effect how much latitude is given to most other regions.
Can we expect the "externally associated" Basque country?
Can we expect the "independent but in name" Catalonia?
Can we expect Madrid with it's own EU minister, seat, representation?
Can we expect Scotland with such privelages?
Can we expect Northern Ireland with such privelages?
Yet again for important reasons the plans and hopes of regionalists and nationalists look to the Spanish.
yawn yawn. Ipsiphi/iosaf/ is now on his(my) holliers up the cool refreshing mountains, the cat brought me a dead mouse last night, which is "charming", my guide pointed out some high in Vit C. fruit, called "blackberries" by the natives, I shall send a sample to the academy, and petition parliament to cultivate these "blackberries" on all side roads so that the poor of the realm may never be short of vitamin C again. Tomorrow I shall cross the "frontier" by foot between "Spain" and "France" and naturally tell you all about it afterwards.....[wish you were all here]
Yesterday Aznar asked for (and got) his Party's support to lead it for another 4 years at a conference address in the spanish region of Castille.
