For the utter lack of content.
I’ve started a new job, which covers the whole of South East England, so have been very busy.
Also will be out of action for a few weeks more, but when i come back, i’ll have a lot to say, especially now i’m witness to the seedy underbelly of environmentalism. Or something.
I am between internet connections for the time being, which means no updates until i settle.
It’s been really infuriating, especially as so much has happened that i want to talk about!
1. Live Earth - what a shocking waste of time and money
2. Flooding - i know Worcestershire very well indeed, so the ‘unprecedented’ flooding was more than a little upsetting. However, it is not down to this ridiculous ‘global warming’ idea. If it’s anything like that, it’s going to be climate change. There has been flooding this bad before, it just hasn’t seemed as important because a)there were less houses back then to be flooded, and b) there was less media coverage and fewer instrumental records of the flooding back then, and finally c) our sewerage system is pretty damn old, and can’t cope with what we put through it these days, and certainly can’t cope with increased surface run-off during heavy rainfall (’flash flooding’).
Ok, rant over………for now!
People who have been referred to this blog by google have searched for the following things:
1)Why do environmentalists lie?
2)What do environmentalists think about pollution?
3)Why is tuna dolphin-friendly?
The mind boggles.
As in, i’m sorry about the lack of blogging.
I am currently knee deep in the good old revision, in an attempt to come out with something resembling a degree. It’s been a long tunnel, but i’m finally starting to see the light!
In other news, i went to Dublin recently. Plastic bags are banned (I think) in Ireland, so everything came in recycled paper bags etc. This was absolutely brilliant i thought, until we visited the off license. I bought a cheap bottle of red wine and they put it on a brown paper bag. Carrying this back to the house together with my unkempt hairstyle made me look like a hobo.
In all seriousness, i couldn’t believe how clean the streets and waterways were. No plastic bags = less blockages in the sewage treatment process, less visual pollution, and less animals (especially marine mammals) dying of plastic ingestion.
Why aren’t we doing that here?
I’ve done it. I have a lot to say, but i’m not sure it’s going to make sense outside of my head.
I’ve started this blog because i’m a little fed up with some of the bad reporting i’ve seen on our impending death by climate change, and of people saying i can’t possibly be an environmentalist because i own a car, or some such.
You are more likely to be listened to if people respect you, and you are in touch with modern society. This means all your clothes do not need to be made of hemp.
