The Governments of the world can have as many G4's or summits whatever crap they wnat to call them but whatever they agree is as you say far too late. The planet changes regulary albeit thousands of years apart but it changes and we have no control whatsoever over it. Let me put another question.......Why is that mere plebs like you and me can understand that yet the top brains and governments ( can those 2 words go hand in hand???) can't see it. More likely they can see it and know it is true but daren't say it out loud. I do of course use the word plebs in the3 nicest possible way but I'm sure you know what I mean. I'm very much with Vince here 'We're doomed, all doomed!!!' |

I can think of an example of a solitary wind turbine in Reading near 'Green Park' . It looks hideously out-of-place in the jumbled semi-industrial landscape, and may distract drivers on the nearby A33 relief road. I suspect it was built as a gimmick for the nearby business park. Sometimes I am amazed to see it turning on a dead calm day. Cynics like myself think it is powered by a motor and generates no electricity at all. |
