Hi ya little mermaid
----------------------------------------In the UK Fuel Duty 57.95p/litre VAT 22.65p/litre Tax = 80.6p/litre Petrol 55.3p/litre Which we get to buy from our cash left after PAYE and NI Taxes To receive a £1 I have to invoice (inc VAT) £1.98 I can't think who might get the rest ;-) To buy a Gallon Imp - from which the Petrol Company takes £2.51 and pays corporation taxes and every employee in the Petrol company pays tax - I have to earn £12.32 £12.32 for £2.51 of product Then there's Vehicle Excise Duty http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_Excise_Duty and also http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebA...ent&id=HMCE_CL_001224 levied on Car Insurance It's why the aforementioned 1776 Document contains the line "He [The King of the UK] has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance." This side of the pond that still applies with the power now firmly in the hands of the Politicians those elected and those unelected .....I now have a push bike ![]() ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by David Autumns at May 28, 2011 1:31:10 PM] |

Today me was flexing the charting muzzle in me little pinkie. Being ambidextrous, used the right one and was inserting the accumulated first 5 months of daily sea ice and computed the daily average for 151 days of each year, or 152 when it was a leap year.
----------------------------------------At first I used JAXA, but being a limited record starting in mid 2002, it could present a lie, at the very least a grand misdirection, mostly because the real serious melting started in an accelerated pace during the second half of the previous decade, when we started a new millennium per the Julian calender. So, not wanting to willfully present such a [misdirection], chose the Cryosphere Today data set, from that site where nanoprobe pulled the March 31 2007 with March 31 2011 Image comparison, the picture telling a 1000 words, but to me 1001 on closer inspection. Anyway, here is me right pinkie powered chart, at no cost all to anyone, which baselined on 1979-2008 data shows beyond a shadow of a doubt the effect of global cooling, specifically since the reminiscence worthy year 2005. ![]() Hand held on heart, to be best of knowledge and ability, global cooling at it's finest! (Now would I lie to state that the 5 month anomaly for 2011 is the greatest on modern record?) End of another rare appearance where 'they' [in the third person], will continue crunching, carrying on, no matter what! --//-- PS, meteorologically, summer started on June one. When July comes around I might let me left pinkie do the work and present a 6 month chart... I do believe in miracles you know, for that is what Humanity is in need of, all 7 billion of us. PPS, did we miss to share that scientists of the Alfred Wegener institute, world renowned, did an extensive survey of the Beaufort sea ice during last end of winter and same time during the 2 preceding years? Their finding was the following for first year ice: 2009: 170 centimeters thick 2010: 160 centimeters thick 2011: 140 centimeters thick Equate that over the full Arctic and compare that to the PIOMAS derided [in this thread] 'seaice volume model '. Works out, they could be understating the decline! Other models show worse indeed. Yes, that what T.Watts and acolytes do... hide the decline! edit: main chart link inserted.

Here's another graph
----------------------------------------I knew those petrolprices.com emails would be useful This is a plot of the cheapest petrol prices in UK pence per litre within 5 miles of where I live(d) since 21st October 2008 ![]() They range from 84.9p/litre to 135.9p/litre an increase in UK transport costs of 60% from 14th January 2009 to the 9th May 2011 ![]() |

Today this chart now contains 10 million individual temperature measurements from around the globe taken so far this year
----------------------------------------To collect that data automatically around the clock and update this graph hourly cannot be achieved without cost Sek ![]() here's the bigger picture This is unsullied reality Sek ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by David Autumns at Jun 4, 2011 6:31:26 PM] |
