Let's not take our eye off the ball.
As we rage on about the lack of tourism and the state of our roads . . . . .
How much proof do the deniers need?
This article and its subsequent discussion is worth joining in!
What will focus Ulverstonians minds on the issue?
Another flood in South Ulverston?
Avril Crutchley and her team of volunteers at Pakistan Flood relief have certainly shown great initiative in dealing with the consequences of our inaction in tackling the results of global warming.
But how many of us are still plugging away at a solution?
With all the emphasis on cutbacks, where has this important issue gone?
Those that can think and battle on several fronts at the same time - please step forward.
Is this a female trait I wonder?

The message is clear: climate change deniers are wrong. Their words are so wicked and dangerous that they must be silenced, or forced beyond the pale alongside the other greedy.
The problem is that we have lost the willingness to trust anyone.
So who CAN we trust?
Ourselves ?
So look at the straight forward evidence.
Find out how much ice has already melted in the Artic and the rate at which this is happening.
Make a note of the disasters both in Britain and throughout the world.
Talk to an old person who you trust to tell the truth. Ask them weather they believe the weather here has changed.
Go to independent authorities - read what they have to say. Read what scientists at universities have to say.
Consider whether by commercial companies would have an interest in persuading us that we don't need to worry.
Oil companies for instance. Do they have a lot of power? Are they reliable when it comes to telling us the truth?
It is such an important question that each one of us must take the trouble to find our own answer.
There are too many people unwilling to do the above because it requires work and the ability to make judgments for ourselves.
Don't trust anyone .
Make your own mind up.
But be sure to spend some time and effort in doing this.
Too many people can't be bothered to investigate.
Why wait to be told by others what to believe?
