For the benefit of anyone who might be inclined to take her seriously, I suggest you follow the link yourself. If you go to http://www.wind-watch.org/news/2020/10/10/windfarm-farce-blew-1-4billion-of-taxpayers-money/ you'll notice:
• The ultimate source is the Daily Mail; as newspapers go, that's quite a low quality source, so you shouldn't blindly assume the figures to be correct (nor assume them to be wrong).
• Although the linked article namedrops Boris Johnson, it does not claim him to be responsible.
• If you look at the timing, it is as I say.
• The first of these scandals in Northern Ireland was to do with heating. Though it was mentioned in the article, no details of it were given; the details all related to the second one.
Nor did I claim that the Roman Warm Period was just in Italy; just that it was not global. Mediterranean sediment cores indicate it was warmer than today; cores from other seas don't show the same result.
I merely answered Charles's question, and I'm not going to waste my time proving it. I didn't even mention the fall of the Roman Empire, but since the troll did I'll mention the list of 210 (often contradictory) reasons, which is now at http://courses.washington.edu/rome250/gallery/ROME%20250/210%20Reasons.htm
