I have always been dubious about the climate change/global warming agenda but it was compounded when I read the following: ‘It is strange what weather we have had all this winter; no cold at all, but the ways are dusty and the flyes fly up and down, and the rose bushes are full of leaves; such a time of year as never was known in this world before here.’
That was quoted by Samuel Pepys on 21st January 1661.
