The Quizzical Answer
“Tell me, what was humanity’s greatest invention?” said the headmistress to her school assembly audience. After all the bright girls confidently gave their answers and got only rebuttals, the headmistress said to the excited girl in the middle, “OK, Shirley, let’s have a laugh, what do you think?” “It was the wheel miss, it was…
Read MoreA way to overcome the CO2 build-up in the atmosphere
Mr Sunak has recently announced altered targets for the UK on climate. He says he is being pragmatic and in that I agree. The targets were not realistic and many unachievable. As human society we are too hooked on what oil has brought us to just stop! So far there has been no sign of…
Read MoreThe Big Project – SAVE EARTH!
So there we have it! A nationally and internationally renowned expert on conservation and the environment, Chris Packham, has seen 40 years of dedication to preserving life on Earth and expressing its beauty and wonder, being reduced by frustration to considering breaking the law, as shown by the more extreme members of the Environmental Movement.…
Read MoreUnited we succeed, divided we fail!
I see that Chris Packham is scheduled to present a programme on Chanel 4 tomorrow night on ‘Is it time to break the law’ (for climate change). It will be interesting to see what conclusion he reaches. There are other ways, however, to bring to light that the climate crisis is an existential threat (Yes!…
Read MoreMore than ever, the world needs to come together
There has been so much climate despair this year and the latest tragedy in Libia has compounded it.

…like so many people now in the UK after blurted statements by the likes of Rishi Sunak and Grant Shapps on the new oil licences offered recently. Yet I supposedly have to wait for a General Election, it seems, to get any chance to react. NO! I want to act now. I want to be…
Read MoreEarth’s Precious Resources
Wednesday (2nd Aug) was the day that marks how we are over-using the Earth’s precious resources. Today we have gone just that little bit further down that road. We have to, at some point, stop and change direction. Humanity is at a metaphorical cross-roads. We need to STOP!… THINK, GREEN PLANET as our traffic light…
Read MoreYesterday wasn’t just any Monday…..
Yesterday on 24th July the means to solving one of the world’s present major problems was initiated. The start of a momentous year, 24 – 7 – 23 to 24 – 7 – 24. Our inability to even begin to tackle problems such as human induced climate crisis and habitat destruction, (HICC + HD), is…
