...and I feel fine

Further to my previous rage against the green machine, I’m slowly but surely not caring about the environment anymore. Its not like I’m going out burning tires for fun or pouring oil on wetlands. Its just I’m no longer concerned if I leave my tv on standby, nor if my phone charger is never taken out of the socket. I’m being defeatist I’m afraid. Al Gore chatted a lot of crap in his film, but I was interested in his treatise about Greenland and what happens when the ice melts. He didn’t mention the earthquakes. It now seems that Greenland is melting faster than predicted, and that the glaciers are moving at an astonishing 1 metre a day. Sorry, I just reread the article. The ice is moving at 2 metres per hour!

Now try telling me that by switching off all the dvd players in the world that that will somehow slow the speed of the melting.
