Encouraginng each other to be assertive is something that is very important to me!
Relying on others can be very frustrating. People using their own initiative can often achieve far more. Self belief is important!
We llive in a town where this already happens so much . It will be natural for us as to do this more and more..
I have a theory Geoff. Lets implement a 10 pound tax that should be levied when people start giving speeches,the tax should not be administered by mindless gray civil servants. It should be administered by a well adjusted 6 year old child like Lucy in The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. Lucy would share her toys. I wonder if Dr Harris reads The Guardian?. You must remember Lost In Space it was iconic. The Robot
Chris (alias The Robot), I make little sense of your comment, but then I'm slow to understand what comes into my head - just fast at what happens inside and what steams out!
Geoff we must ALL take climate change/global warming VERY seriously. Two years ago I took a sabbatical and together with Jocasta, my six year old, embarked upon an expedition to Antarctica to see for myself the damage we humans wreak upon our mother earth. As I write I am weeping as I recall Joccys reaction to a scene viewed from the deck of our cruiser. A polar bear cub drifted by on a tiny ice floe, the size of a coffee table which had (due doubtless to warming) broken away from the ice mass. Mum bear was on the shore, in sight of her cub who was screaming in her fear and loss. Sadly, the gap between the shore and the cub proved too much for Mum to swim and I can only surmise that the cub drifted off to oblivion. Jocasta's heart was broken and I fear she was permanently mentally scarred at that terrible sight.
Last year we both went along to a seminar in Oxford, similar I feel to Kates forthcoming event, where the guest speaker was an Innuit elder whose native name translated as "Walrus Fang", he outlined the devastation caused by warming, in particular the fact that their traditional igloo can be crafted one day and they wake the next to find only a melted mess of ice! Jocasta, once again, was in tears to learn that her great great great great grandchildren could very well find themselves living, not in a Lake District but in an arid desert landscape and all due to OUR carelessness and greed.
So, I urge all of your many readers to attend at Ford Park on Friday night and raise their collrective voice and consciousness in protest at this rape of our environment. I hope to meet you there.
Not being nasty Geoff I am sure she is a very nice lady that can rebuild a Deux Chevaux with a socket set made from recycled copies of The Guardian. I expect she also has all of Bob The Fake,albums. Moving away from humor if people like the lady above stopped making speeches and got on and did something the world would be a better place. I see those kids you like are making speeches about not making speeches. Take Care Geoff off to find somewhere warm and to try and come up with a way to defecate on Bob The Fakes pillow that I expect is made from recycled cocktail napkins. For these times they are a changing. Chris
We on this blog already treat the matter of Global Warming very seriously having already made 26 postings that alerted locals to the severe problems that are resulting from this problem. Use of the specific label "global warming" bottom right will lead you to http://geoffdellow.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/global%20warming The first being in August 2008 - http://geoffdellow.blogspot.co.uk/2008/08/global-warming-methane-clathrates.html
If you have specific action to suggest, we would be very glad to hear about this. People like Lovelock has suggested that this matter is extremely urgent. A more realistic view recommended by him is that it is already too late and all we can do is slow down the inevitable effect of this phenomenon. What we can now do is come up with strategies to deal with the panic that will ensue when the penny finally drops with the general public - it is for this reason that the writer of this blog has focussed his attention on promoting community activities that bring thinking people of all kinds together - this work started four years ago and is believed to be what is desparately needed here in Ulverston.

Mr The Robot,
You've got me foxed - I'm not very bright at this kind of thing!
