A tad worrying.

  New Scientist / BBC /  MSM.  It's like The Day After Tomorrow on slow speed and with better dialogue, except you can't switch it off or walk away.  I don't know, you can recycle as much as humanly possible, use public transport, use energy saving lightbubs, etc, etc.  It doesn't make a bit of difference.

Sometimes I think it would be easier to go into denial about the whole thing.  Pretend that it's just scare mongering and that climate change isn't going to royally screw us all.  Pretend that's fine that hundreds, if not thousands, of species of wildlife are going to be wiped off the face of the planet.  Just pick up a copy of NOW! magazine and read about Jade Goody and the like...Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.  Meh. 

Sorry, I'm hating the human race more than usual today.

Yeah, they hum and haw over here but nothing really gets done. I suppose I should be grateful that they even acknowledge the problem exists.

Exactly. Without forcing industries and industrialized countries to cut back on carbon emissions then there really is no point at all. Pointless treaties like Kyoto are nothing more than service.

I've known people who are like that. It's the old 'I've-got-mine-fuck-everybody-else' mentality. I think it's really sad. I also think that we will still be around when it all goes down, we'll be up in years, but we'll still see it.
