The
Berkeley Earth Project has concluded that the Earth is definitely warming..
Set up after a bizarre last ditch campaign to question/sabotage the science of global warming in 2009 around 'climategate' this further undermines those who continue to tell us what we'd like to hear, that it ain't real and there's nothing to be done.
Will it draw a big black thick line under this guff so that we can finally and seriously move on and start to change the way our world functions????
"meanwhile .."
here's some music...

Chosen for and WARMLY dedicated to the brave souls PEACEFULLY sleeping on concrete OCCUPYing Wall Street and the City and elsewhere in the world,
attempting to express the anger and disgust most humans feel for the institutions that have failed to serve the needs of all but a few of the human beings of this planet.
Now yet those same institutions demand that we bail them out and in so doing sacrifice our own and our children's chances of a reasonable and safe financial future.

Hello
Next month, on the 10th and 11th November, I will be doing a couple of shows of my solo material at The Pegasus Theatre in Oxford to mark the start of their 50th Anniversary. I'm a patron of the theatre and these shows are fundraisers to support the fantastic and really valuable work that Pegasus does in providing access to the creative arts for young people. It's a wonderfully intimate place to see a show, so if you fancy coming along, I'd love to see you there. Tickets cost £25 and are available from my store here:

Some ticket holders for this week's New York shows have chosen to re-sell one or both of their allocation on auction sites. Using a 2 ticket limit and will-call only access with ID, we have tried to ensure that more tickets go to the people who prefer to see the show than to cheat fellow fans with re-selling tickets at exorbitant prices.
For those of you who have to pay over the face value of the ticket, PLEASE make sure that you are certain you can get into the show before parting with your money. A ticket is only valid with its matching credit card details and the ID of the purchaser, after which the ticket holder will be escorted straight through.
On a lighter note, we played on The Colbert Report last night. It was funny.
Hope this link works where you are:

“The relationship between photographers and police could worsen next month when new laws are introduced that allow for the arrest - and imprisonment - of anyone who takes pictures of officers ‘likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism’.”
