The ‘Grand Tour’ host has long been dismissive of the concept, suggesting that global warming “isn’t even worthy of a shrug” — but recently he has had a change of heart after filming an episode of his Amazon Prime show in Cambodia.

He and his fellow presenters – Richard Hammond and James May – were forced to wade through a lake while filming a boat race from Siem Reap to Vung Tau in Vietnam.

Jeremy told the Sunday Times newspaper: “It’s the first time that we’ve ever admitted to there being global warming. It was alarming, genuinely alarming.

“The irony is not lost on me. A man who hosted a car programme for 30 years, limited to 7mph by global warming.”

The former ‘Top Gear’ trio endured “two days of utter frustration” as the three of them had to be pulled through the river, which had been reduced to a “puddle”.







An ex-employee of the BBC, it’s not surprising Clarkson has fallen for the propaganda, as a real journalist would do a little digging and figure out what’s really going on.

Any knee-jerk, “Baaa – Global Warming” response is quickly dispelled by the facts.

A severe drought has recently caused water levels in Southeast Asia’s Mekong River to drop to their lowest in more than 100 years with devastating consequences for fish, as well as the tens of millions of people living and working along the river — this is true.

However, the clue to the origins of this terrible drought gripping the region, that Clarkson witnessed and experienced his “enlightenment” from, is in the hundred-year periodicity of such events, and this one matches up with the last one which occurred during the 1920’s and all the other events for the past 500 years on a hundred year cycle.







Unique inscriptions found in a cave in China, combined with chemical analysis of cave formations, show how droughts affected the local population over the past five centuries.

An international team of researchers, including scientists from the University of Cambridge, have discovered unique ‘graffiti’ on the walls of a cave in central China, which describes the effects drought have had on the local population over the past 500 years.

The information contained in the inscriptions, combined with detailed chemical analysis of stalagmites in the cave, paint an intriguing picture of how societies are affected by droughts over time. This being the first time that it has been possible to conduct an in-situ comparison of historical and geological records from the same cave.

The inscriptions were found on the walls of Dayu Cave in the Qinling Mountains of central China – and describe the impacts of seven major drought between 1520 and 1920. The climate in the area around the cave is dominated by the summer monsoon, in which about 70% of the year’s rain falls during a few months, so when the monsoon is late or early, too short or too long, it has a major impact on the region’s ecosystem.

“In addition to the obvious impact of droughts, they have also been linked to the downfall of cultures – when people don’t have enough water, hardship is inevitable and conflict arises,” said Dr Sebastian Breitenbach of Cambridge’s Department of Earth Sciences, one of the paper’s co-authors. “In the past decade, records found in caves and lakes have shown a possible link between climate change and the demise of several Chinese dynasties during the last 1800 years, such as the Tang, Yuan and Ming Dynasties.”

According to the inscriptions in Dayu Cave, residents would come to the cave both to get water and to pray for rain in times of drought. An inscription from 1891 reads, “On May 24th, 17th year of the Emperor Guangxu period, Qing Dynasty, the local mayor, Huaizong Zhu led more than 200 people into the cave to get water. A fortune-teller named Zhenrong Ran prayed for rain during the ceremony.”

Another inscription from 1528 reads, “Drought occurred in the 7th year of the Emperor Jiajing period, Ming Dynasty. Gui Jiang and Sishan Jiang came to Da’an town to acknowledge the Dragon Lake inside in Dayu Cave.”

While the inscriptions are business-like in tone, the droughts of the 1890s led to widespread starvation and triggered local social instability, which eventually resulted in a fierce conflict between the government and civilians, in 1900. The drought in 1528 also led to widespread starvation, and there were even reports of cannibalism.









The present crisis, mirroring the cycles in China, began when critical monsoon rains, which usually start in late May in the Mekong region, failed to arrive, then the situation was made worse by hydropower dam operators upstream, in China and Laos, withholding water for their own usage.

This resulting in many rice farmers in Cambodia been unable to plant their main crop, raising fears of a greatly reduced harvest this autumn. Less water flow could also have a devastating impact on fish reproduction in the Mekong River basin, further effecting food security in the area.

So, yet again a well-documented, provable cycle of climate variability is being usurped and used to promote an agenda…



I know, I know.

Silly me.

“Shut up and pay your taxes.”
