At this time of year, the sight of heavy farm combined harvester equipment rumbling across the fields, with a plume of dust behind is etched on my memory, I say memory because for the most part it has been three years since we have enjoyed a BBQ Summer, [Predicted by the Met Office, see my earlier post]. As I type its raining again and my plans to do dinner on the BBQ have been suspended [Friday 17:30pm].

This video on youTube expresses my sentiments about the hysteria surrounding anthropogenic climate change!
I would add that although I have some reservations about anthropogenic climate change, (climate always changes), it does not follow that I am in favour of the rampant destruction of the earth’s resources. I am extremely concerned about the loss of rain forest for example, having witnessed first hand the deforestation in Malaysia in the early nineties, when I worked in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. A trip across the causeway over the Jahore Straits into mainland Malaysia, provided ample evidence of the destruction of the forests, there is now no prime jungle in the peninsular.
