		<description><![CDATA[The ABD today revealed that in 23 megabytes and 354 pages of Boris Johnson&#8217;s London transport strategy, you won&#8217;t find the words &#8220;snow&#8221;, &#8220;grit&#8221;, &#8220;icy road&#8221; &#8220;frozen&#8221; or &#8220;freez(e/ing)&#8221;. Weather is only mentioned at all in the context of &#8216;climate change&#8217;, though there is, of course, plenty on the things that the bureaucrats are interested [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The fact that the UK and much of the Northern Hemisphere is in the grip of another severe winter comes as no surprise to the ABD . Our November 17th 2005 PR &#8216;Not Gridlock, Freezelock&#8217; was affirmed in a follow-up PR on 15th February 2006. Whilst the ABD prides itself in being a climate realist [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Association of British Drivers (ABD) is concerned to note that many people are unaware of an important consultation. A long document, the Mayor&#8217;s Transport Strategy, was released in October. Its proposals are far-reaching and, given its significance, ABD feels that the consultation has been severely under-publicised. ABD London Media Spokesman Brian Mooney remarked:&#160; &#34;One [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When interviewing Ed Miliband on Radio 4 this morning, John Humphreys challenged the Minister about his use of &#8220;flat earthers&#8221; to describe climate sceptics. What followed was a &#8220;comedy of ignorance&#8221; where Miliband justified himself with the claim that the basic science was simple and well proven, despite admitting he was no scientist. Meanwhile, Humphreys [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The UEA finally started to defend itself against damaging Climategate revelations on Friday, putting up Professor Andrew Watson on both television and radio. Prof Watson&#8217;s line of attack was nothing more than barefaced cheek &#8211; he suggested that sceptics were &#8220;attacking individuals&#8221; because they &#8220;couldn&#8217;t attack the science&#8221; and clearly stated that the only issue [...]]]></description>
