Jottings from SW Surrey. This used to be mainly about energy but now I've retired it's just an old man's rant. From 23 June 2016 'til 12 December 2019 Brexit dominated but that is now a lost cause. So, I will continue to point out the stupidities of government when I'm so minded; but you may also find the odd post on climate change, on popular science or on genealogy - particularly my own family.

Spiders Say - We Can Adapt
A little bit of good(ish) news. A recent study has shown that "shock" experiment on climate change may paint too negative a picture for adaptation and survival. This work suggests that the particular species studied in this case (predatory spiders), at least, did adapt to gradually changing circumstances. Perhaps catastrophe is a little bit further away than some people suggest. There's no call for complacency, of course.
