I know I've plugged this one before, but.

For thalassius, neonchameleon (following a conversation at the weekend), and anyone else interested in putting numbers to energy supply and usage: http://withouthotair.com is an excellent summary of the figures. Free online or PDF download. Also on paper.

Also, it seems that UKIP are climate-change denialists, and have a leaflet out deriding "Darwinism". If you were planning to vote for them, please don't.

I was doing quite well on withouthotair until I got to the phrase "if Cambridge University is a normal workplace" (p.53) and then had to stop and laugh for a few minutes.

Heh. Simplifying assumptions.

Oh, UKIP continue to make themselves more electable, I see...

Hmm, if they're anti-Darwin, that seems to conflict with this report of Graham Booth comparing himself to Darwin and Galileo (misunderstood, ahead of their time, etc) from their website.

They might not have a consensus on Darwin, I guess, it might just have been the one leaflet. Their policy on climate change is official, though, and reprehensible.

I've checked a couple of their links (oddly, most before '07 stuff seems to produce 404 errors when clicked). It's seems to be just embarrassing knee-jerk politics as practised by 5 tear olds. "If the EU support in, then we're against it! On principle!"

Would love to see this leaflet if you still have a copy/link.

BTW, ta very much for posting this, we've been muttering about climate change and renewable energy sources a lot recently, so this is ace.

Pass it around!

[nanaya]

I shall endeavour to do so :-)
