Cannabis farms
I was woken this morning to the sound of braking glass as the police knocked down the door of a house 3 down from where I live. One person was lead away in handcuffs on speaking to the police I was informed that the house was being used to grow cannabis. This is the second time, this has happened in my road in the last two years. I was wondering how many other cannabis farms have been raided in New Malden

Unexplained sheep attacks 'caused by aliens in UFOs', farmers claim - Telegraph
Unexplained sheep attacks 'caused by aliens in UFOs', farmers claim - Telegraph
Farmers near Shrewsbury claim to have witnessed sheep being “lasered” by unidentified light from UFOs. They have linked the unexplained incidents, where sheep’s brains and eyes were removed, to the mysterious orange lights in the sky.
The Ministry of Defence will destroy all future UFO reports it receives so it does not have to make them public, a previously secret memo discloses.

Feeble wind farms fail to hit full power - Times Online
Feeble wind farms fail to hit full power - Times Online
THE first detailed study of Britain’s onshore wind farms suggests some treasured landscapes may have been blighted for only small gains in green energy. The analysis reveals that more than 20 wind farms produce less than a fifth of their potential maximum power output.
Like most solutions to problems, wind farms have been over-hyped. Although they should provide part of the solution amongst a range of energy producing options including nuclear.

From my own experience the problems come when Politian’s and single interest pressure groups miss-represent science to fit their own particular agendas. Having said that; scientists themselves are a reflection of society and may not always be as objective as they should.
I take the view that it is always best to look across the spectrum of scientific evidence and use this as the basis for making decisions rather, truth usually lying in the middle ground.
