3rd Sunday of Advent

Went to Mass at Penparcau this morning, they've managed to get the heating working a bit better, so it wasn't quite as freezing as last time. It was quite full today, whether this is just down to visitors or an actual increase is uncertain, maybe time will tell.

Managed to get some of the Christmas food shopping done, which will make life easier next week. Just fruit & veg etc. needed now.

Also managed to realise that I'd forgotten to send one person a card (there's always one isn't there!), still it should get there in time.

Read yet another attempt to deny the existence of global warming. Yes, why take any notice of 30 years of scientific evidence supported by the vast majority of the scientific community. Hey, even George Bush is (reluctantly) accepting it now. Wake up and smell the Diesel!!

The evidence was pretty clear when I was studying climatology & oceanography nearly twenty years ago, now it is incontrovertible; but that doesn't stop people spouting drivel about it.

It is yet another example of people seeing what they want to see, regardless of the evidence, people can be so illogical.

Of course even if most people accept it, it doesn't mean we are actually going to do anything about it. It is a sad fact that no civilisation has ever managed to bring itself back from the brink of environmental catastrophe in the whole of human history; will we go the way of Easter Island?
