I think global warming (assuming that longer term measurements confirm that
it is indeed happening) has provided the politicians with a heaven sent
opportunity to raise a whole lot of new taxes and claim to be doing it in
the interests of the planet.
And soon Al Gore and all his like thinking buddies will fly to somewhere
like (for instance) Bali to talk about it. How many cows would it need to
equal their gas output?
Sorry, but I remain unconvinced. The only thing I am sure about is that the
planet has too many human beings on it already..


Before there was an Al Gore there was a Thomas Malthus. Had he been correct,
we would all be extinct.


I believe the next meeting is Hawaii.
