FUMING!

Spanish Goth inadvertently got me all wound up and unnecessary when I read his last post.

This climate change/global warming crap has got really out of control. What a brilliant way to tax the crap out of us all. Based on a load of unsubstantiated data that over half the worlds leading meteorologists and climateologists say is rubbish.The majority seem to say that the planet is going through a normal cyclical period. Global temperatures , taken since 1998, show a slight cooling trend.

So Gordon Brown and his cronies are going to make standard light bulbs a thing of history by 2011, and make us all buy energy saving bulbs, which cost 3 times as much, and don't like being turned on and off too often, (they fail), great! Who's going to pay for all my new lampshades?

These bulbs are made using mercury, which the EU has just stopped our barometer makers from using, in case it gets into landfill. Where are the dud energy saving bulbs going to go?

And, whilst China is opening a new coal-fired power station every 4 days, this is going to save the planet?

Which planet do these people live on?

Joke Tuesday. (nearly forgot)

A little girl finds her dog dead with its ' legs in the air and asks her Dad why it is like that. Dad explains that it has died, and is like that so Jesus can pick it up and take it to heaven.

The next day she says, "Dad, Mum nearly died today. She was on her back with her legs in the air shouting , "Oh, Jesus, i'm coming." And if the window cleaner hadn't been holding her down, we'd have lost her!

Roll on winter ?
