Is the NHS lying about waiting lists?
The big news this week was that waiting lists for NHS treatments have risen to 7,680,000. But I wonder if the true figure is even higher. I saw my GP – sorry, I lie, I saw a nurse at my GP’s surgery as all the GPs were presumably too busy to see a British taxpayer like me – at the beginning of June and got an ‘Urgent’ referral to see a dermatologist at my local hospital. Now, three months later, I haven’t even been contacted by the hospital with a date for an appointment. So, I imagine I’m not even considered to be one of the 7,680,000 people waiting for treatment.
Maybe there are a lot of other people in a similar situation? Who knows?
Do people hate my book without even reading it?
There are 377 reviews of my latest book THERE IS NO CLIMATE CRISIS on Amazon. Most are positive. However, I’ve found 4 or 5 reviews which give my book the lowest – one star – rating and say it’s a load of misleading garbage or worse.
Here’s the latest of these negative reviews:
- none of them are what Amazon calls a “Verified purchase”
- none of them make any reference to anything actually written in the book.
Here’s part of this article:
Because man is burning fossil fuels, our planet is allegedly becoming increasingly covered by a blanket of �heat-trapping� greenhouse gases, scientists like to make people believe. The recent global warming simply couldn�t have anything to do with the sun, they insist.
They�re likely way off the mark.
Today German�prof. Stefan Homburg tweeted a summary�of warming that�s happening at other places within our solar system, suggesting the sun is behind it.
�Global warming isn�t only happening on earth,� he tweets.
Triton has warmed 3�K
For example, warming is happening on Triton, Neptune�s moon. According to Germany�s�wissenschaft.de: �Neptune�s giant moon Triton is the first body in the solar system where global warming could be detected.�
According to measurements, the atmospheric pressure doubled and the temperature rose 3 degrees Kelvin. �The cause is probably higher solar irradiation of the nitrogen ice cap at Triton�s south pole.�
The article then goes on to suggest that Mars, the Moon, Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter are also warming and concludes this warming may be due to increased solar activity and not human CO2 emissions or earthly methane cow farts.
I’m not allowed to reproduce more than half the article, but you can find the whole piece here:
Obviously I don’t know if the claims made in the notrickszone article are true or not. But, if they are true, there’s one certainty in life – they will definitely not be mentioned by the mainstream media.
�Or, more likely, they might just be climate catastrophists who have a visceral loathing for anyone daring to question their crazed, end-of-days cult�
Got it in one, don�t sweat it. I�ve noticed the same game played on the telegraphs�s comments – anyone daring to question climate change is down ticked immediately, it�s a knee jerk reaction. However, as with your book reviews, the down ticks are heavily outnumbered by the up tickets. I imagine the reverse is true of the grundiag comments section but can�t vouch for that as I don�t go anywhere near the Grundiag website.
And again, you are right, the MSM will not be reporting this extra-terrestrial warming. Doesn�t suit the narrative.
I suspect you are correct about waiting lists. I have a friend who has just been told a hospital will contact him to make an appointment at some future date. The waiting list is for treatments not appointments.
The comments on your book say a lot about Amazon. How can they allow reviews from people who have not purchased the book? The comment is what you get from people who have listened to opinions spread through propaganda. All they can do is repeat the opinion. They are incapable of a rational comment because they don’t hold a rational opinion based on evidence. I suspect this is how schools educate children about climate change. What they should be doing is looking at these reviews and explaining to children how they can avoid believing propaganda throughout their lives.
It is a pity that the German professor did not concentrate his attention to explaining what is happening on earth, such as explaining why gasses cannot trap heat, or anything else for that matter. Heat cannot be trapped in the natural world and if it could it is impossible for it to heat anywhere else. If heat could be trapped the subject of thermodynamics would not exist.
