The Chinese believe that if the weather is very bad it is because
of bad government. We have all noticed the wild fluctuations in our weather
recently, heatwaves in March and snow in May. This changing of the climate we
are told by scientists is because of global warming and I have no reason to
doubt that this is so. Yet time and again the summits convened to try to deal
with this crisis fail to come up with any concrete proposals. Why? Because of
the vested interests of the elite in the global oil economy. We all know that
oil is a resource that is all but exhausted. Yet we continue to rely on oil to
maintain the illusion of progress. Oil fuels our vast transport systems and powers
our electricity generators.
Meanwhile, the
government assures us that the best viable alternative is nuclear power. Yet
this technology would leave us with a far worse pollution problem than oil and
one that will last much much longer. If in years to come my great great grand
children where to dig up my skeleton and scan it with their Geiger counters
they would still find my bones were radio-active from the nuclear accident at
Chernobyl. Every human on the planet has some of the fallout from that calamity
in their body and now Fukashima is doing the same. You will notice how
Fukashima has dropped out of the news even though that disaster is set to be
even more deadly than Chernobyl. It has directly impacted the lives of over one
million people already and now the scientists are saying there is worse to
come!
