There have been a couple of interesting programmes on TV recently that more or less blow the global warming theory of being our humanoid fault alone out of the water. What I always suspected was the case.

Imagine you are a resident of the planet Zog and are super advanced into all things that save planets. You look down on silly young Earth and its minions that attempt to recycle biscuit wrappers and doggy do and wonder where they are going exactly.

As a galaxy-wise home boy you learned zeons ago that it is natural phenomenon that dictates cooling and warming of planets.

Once-a-fortnight rubbish collections and hessian shopping bags do little except to excite a few sad sandal wearers into believing that their existence is valid and of some use. England especially is a minion that even if it blew out as much obnoxious material into the stratosphere that it could have produced in its great industrial age, it still would not have prevented or accelerated a change that would not naturally occur if it had not existed in the first place!

Ice caps come and go as do politicians who exploit fearful scenarios of doom to enable increased taxation and make the voters compliable to their wishes.

Climate changes will come and go, water levels will rise and ebb and ice caps will expand and recede as they have done so for eons.

So pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and enjoy your short life while you may.
