Re: Climate Change.
'Climate change' is obviously the latest craze.
The last report I heard was that the average temperature has risen by ONE degree over 150 years. I'm afraid that hardly strikes terror in me! In fact, wouldn't temperature increase encourage more growth of plant life?
And if the Arctic melts completely, it will only be Londonistan that becomes completely submerged, and that particular place has had it anyway!
The eco-warriors seem to be unaware that the climate has changed, one way or the other, many times over thousands of years and a great deal more that ONE degree.
The latest ploy is to encourage precocious children to take up the banners, presumably in the hope that people will take more notice of them than the 'hippy' youngsters who traditionally protest about anything and everything.
What amuses me most, though, is the fact that they are protesting their socks off right here, where most of our heavy industry is long gone and our glorious leaders are really pushing electric vehicles (which they hope will be powered exclusively by electricity from windmills!).
The real polluters of the atmosphere, if any, are to be found in places like China and India. Why do I not hear of thousands of children protesting in those locations?
