Amusing End of the World Situation Arising
Well, they met in Montreal to discuss climate change. The result? Nothing. You have to laugh. I heard an analyst saying on the news that no-one could have expected these talks to produce any new targets, but at least the process of setting new targets would have started. Take your time boys-in the next two decades the sahara will have doubled in size, Britain will have the climate of Siberia and America will have been slapped silly by so many hurricanes they'll declare drowning to be a national passtime. Kyoto runs out in twenty twelve. America still won't agree to even try to cut its emissions but at least they'e honest about it(yes America is honest about somethings) unlike Blair who promised to cut emissions then agreed to building a shitload of new airports which will produce more carbon than he agreed to cut. You have to laugh really. Because there's bugger all we can do about it. We're not rich enough to have a say, and the rich are the ones who benefit from all this planet-raping. No matter how much they agree to cut down carbon emissions unless its 90% it won't make a blind bit of difference. And a cut that big would mean a huge change in the lifestyles of....everyone. Either way you look at it, it is indeed the end of the world as we know it. And I'm a hypocrite. I don't drive, but I'm still producing much more carbon than I have any right to. And I can't stop. So its goodbye world I suppose. Ho hum. This rant has kind of turned on me so I'm going to end it while I still have my dignity. I really should think things through before I write them...
