I have been watching Universe. Which is fascinating. My wife refuses to watch it , simply because she cannot get her head around some of the things that are talked about On this programme. I tried explaining to her that some of the twinkling lights in the night sky is light that is 4000 yrs old . The light originated when the Egyptians walked the earth 2000 yrs bc. And this is just the youngest stars. I get the distinct impression, many of this world population see climate change the same way. They simply cannot comprehend what is happening. What has happened. What is fact. What is real. What exists. Because we only see what is In Front of us in our generation. In our 70-90 yrs ish. we have no concept of the universe being billions of years old. We fail to recognise the big picture.Our time here is limited.Humanities time on earth is limited too. We just don’t see it. And we won’t.Until it is too late. I believe it already is. My dad, age 74, god bless him, sums up the general mood. “I won’t be around for it to bother me “
Kids in the developing world have a tiny carbon footprint.It's westerners with big cars, central heating systems, air con and a penchant for red meat and foreign holidays who are the main culprits.

Damn!That’s me summed up, love my 2 holidays a year, love a good steak once a fortnight, drive a SUV and have just recently got a new boiler ……..But I’m not so sure that these little luxuries are really affecting anything!I mean ! what should I do as an alternative ?
Nothing about climate change in the news for a while. Must have disappeared.......
You will be pleased to know that the world record for the amount of coal burnt in the world was reported to have been set just last week. Britain to it's shame hardly took part in this momentous moment.
