RE: global warming
Hi Andrew,
Nice to have you back!
Yes, there's going to have to be a reckoning for all of this abuse, that's for sure. The events in Boscastle should teach us that nature is far more mighty than any person or thing, even power and money. We have to realise that we humans are a part of nature, not its masters. It comes back to what I was saying to David about 'getting back to basics' as far as our relationship with nature is concerned. Sadly, not enough people see things as we do, and carry on with their abuse of the planet. When we can get to know how it works, the happier and more content we'll be.
Love,
Patsy.

it is all about natural climate change, which would have occurred whether man was here or not. To what degree, I do not know, since I have never lived through other periods of global warming in previous epochs.
In my philosophy, I think you have, actually, Patsy - you just don't remember. 😉
Emp is right too, as I've said in a previous post. The oil-burning civilisation we now have may from reliable-seeming sources be a kind of possible hoax, to keep us tied to oil, to keep the owners and distributors of oil in money. There are so many stories, anecdotes, and even hard facts out there of a multitude of free energy methods - energy from nowhere and at little or no cost. They may not have been developed to the point of reliability, but this would only have taken the denied R & D. What's Exxon got to gain by selling us a machine, say, for maybe £200, which will supply all our energy needs for the rest of our lives?

RE: global warming
well the disclosure project said they would have appliances ready this year??????but no mention on their website.
An Eskimo elder at the Millennium World Peace Summit at the United Nations said, "Our history goes back 40,000 years and only now are we finding lakes in the Artic ice cap. You have technology that is melting the ice. When will we develop a technology to melt the human heart?"
So when we melt the human heart then humans will put their hearts back into honouring the sacredness of mother earth.
Love beyond measure

Hi David,
You are probably right about money being at the root. It is in the interests of large corporations to keep going, often at the expense of nature. While there is a market for oil, coal and gas, the large corps will be there. However, I am inclined to think that abnormal incidents or natural incidents are being blamed on global warming, as a blanket. Everything seems to be blamed on it. How much of it is true, I wonder?
There is no doubt that the climate is changing, that's for definite, but to what extent our involvement adds to it, I do not know. Neither does anyone else for that matter. I do wish that people wouldn't keep blaming 'global warming' for everything. Often it isn't, or might not be.
Love,
Patsy.

RE: global warming
On Wednesday 25th August, West Somerset District Council gave the initial go-ahead for a wind farm of 12 new wind turbines at Hinkley Point. The decision seems to have hinged upon who won a lobby war". There was a lobbying group against the turbines, said to have been "fiercely opposed". But Greenpeace organised those in favour and 4,000 letters in favour were received. Some basic facts:
It'll be 12 wind turbines, at an estimated total cost of £24 million. They'll generate 2.75 megawatts or enough electricity to power 20,000 homes. And they'll be on an area of land once ear-marked for a nuclear generator. The construction phase is expected to bring a boost to the local economy. The main message of Greenpeace in this campaign was that the turbines would offset further global warming.
It's interesting that elsewhere in the area such projects were decided against due to local protest. But in this instance a favourable organised lobby won the day. So whether other wind turbines are built elsewhere in the UK may often come down to how strongly each side can organise and lobby.
