Does Trudi have grounds for a counter claim on grounds of vexatious litigation or whatever?

You can appeal against a verdict you don't like, but to appeal against a case being thrown out altogether? Something you'd only do if you weren't paying the lawyers with your own money.

Dust.
Rain (>=1mm anywhere in the UK is the UKMO definition of a 'day of rain') falls roughly 'every other day' during a typical year (last year 47% of days were rain days). So in a summer season of 93 days you would expect about 43-44 days of rain. The red top comics are apparently reporting '50 days of rain' (just over a 10% increase). This probably just reflects the growing thunderstorm (ie convective) rain risk in summer (AGW is anticipated to increase rainfall risk in NW Europe) coupled with the current teleconnections drivers.
Most likely it is from a contingency briefing to government, not a forecast as such, just advice on potential risk to factor into authorities' preparations.

$4,000.000 cow to satisfy carnivorous beef appetite

Worth $4 million, Viatina-19 FIV Mara Movéis is the most expensive cow ever sold at auction, according to Guinness World Records. That’s three times more than the last recordholder’s price. And — at 1,100 kilograms (more than 2,400 pounds) — she’s twice as heavy as an average adult of her breed...
Climate scientists agree that people need to consume less beef, the largest agricultural source of greenhouse gasses and a driver of Amazon deforestation.
She's the world's most expensive cow, and part of Brazil's plan to put beef on everyone's plate
Brazil has hundreds of millions of cows, but one in particular is extraordinary. Her massive, snow-white body is watched over by security cameras and an armed guard.

Noticed that many of plants have been struggling with both pollination and growing with the weird damp grey weather this year
This quite neat, capturing the tidal energy off the north coast of Scotland. I'm nowhere near qualified to say whether it's scaleable, or whether it has unforeseen negative consequences.

So many particulars. So many questions.
Kayliegh, is it to late to say I'm sorry, and Kayliegh can we get back together again?

It looks like it's feasible to scale it up. I guess have to question if the turbine blades would be a threat to sea life or not.
