Good morning to you and all other oofers

[Dishevelled Den]

I could, if I was so inclined, give this thread a turbo boost with an interesting link, such as

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/01/10/un-ipcc-chief-pachauri-under-fire-in-india-for-conflicts-of-interest/

...but perish the thought! 

It is indeed an interesting link Nick that warrants attention as however doubtful the bona fides of those such as Pachauri now appear to be, we can be sure that there are those in our own legislature who will choose to 'plough' on regardless.


Meanwhile, those unmitigated fools, aka Members of Parliament, on the environmental audit committee have urged the UK Government to cut emissions more quickly at home – to prove to other countries Britain was serious about backing up its attempts to get an international agreement [on global warming] with action.

Dear Lord, is there no end to this madness?

Apparently not, but aside from the bunker mentality of this stance the stated intention will have to be paid for in the form of taxes, levies and a fundamental change demanded in the way we all presently lead our lives - enforced by legislation.

Are you being naughty bj?

A bit wide of the mark bj, although the resemblance is there I must admit, this is of course the great mezzo-soprano Ann Sophie von Otter 8-) 8-)

Always happy to oblige

Sorry, chaps.  I was quite happy to lay this thread to rest, but I just noticed an article in The Times which is very close to my point of view.  Unfortunately, it's by Giles Coren, who I find to be one of the most irritating men on the planet, but, for once, we're in agreement. 

Have a look at this:

Feel free to skip over the bit at the end about cricket - interesting, but not germane - but have a look at the comments from readers.  Some of them have no relevance whatsoever to the original article; indeed, some of them seem to think the article says exactly the opposite of what it actually says. 

I'm beginning to think that this currently fashionable "have your say" culture has run its course and needs to be knocked on the head sooner rather than later.  It's bad enough that we are constantly bombarded with the innacurate and biassed opinions of columnists and lobbyists, but now we're also being exposed to page after page of complete b*ll*cks from ignoramuses with no understanding of grammar or spelling, let alone style.  It seems, now, that these buffoons are also lacking basic reading and comprehension skills.  And, of course, the current repository of all human knowledge is perceived to be Wikipedia. 

I'm very glad I'll be dead by the time today's teenagers come to power.

OOF general discussion area.

Indeed, columnists like Coren who write such things as "Global warming will in the end interfere with the ocean currents, knock out the Gulf Stream.." are certainly inaccurate.
