And Then, Step Back...

   ...from the brink of throwing a rather large, weighty object** at the TV as it’s kids day at COP-Shop 26 so it’s wall to wall kids led by little Greta Thumbelina – blessed be her name - and the bloody climate.
   So the ‘news’ is just terrified kids and looped footage, utilizing every cinematographic trick in the book, showing chimneys and cooling towers belching black smoke rather than steam. I guess mums and dads are telling their kids this is trick footage, right? Or are those mums and dads already too far gone in the cult direction?
   I have to wonder when someone along the lines of this fellow below is going to step-up and make the first move regards getting us all out of this really big hole we’re being buried in...
         

**Got hold of my little nest of vipers okay but quickly discovered just how hard it is to launch something so bulky across the room with sufficient velocity to damage the TV. The TV should thank its lucky stars I no longer keep a seven pound lump hammer by the sofa...

Quote;  John Sexton.

“The first day at the power plant I found myself photographing some steam vents on the roof of the structure. And I remember consciously thinking that they were just like trees but they were metal.”

I think those mums and dads want their kids to be just like their parents. Bad luck for the kids though.

A K Haart,
Yes, I agree but I guess we must always remember that we only see and hear what the media want us to see and hear.

I've had this open on a tab for about a fortnight.
I think it's day 50 of the eruption tomoz.
Mind boggling.

Rick,
Scary is it not? If only I hadn't had our gas boiler on so much...
