REFLECTIONS OF A TWITTER VIRGIN…. »
"I confess to having been reluctant to embrace Twitter. But I confess myself a bit of a convert. The great TV critic Clive James once said about “Dallas”, “I came to mock but I stayed to pray”.

You bought skis? I bought a snowplow. Everyday it sits in the driveway and I get to stare at it and wonder why I spent all that money!
Oh no! luckily my skis came from a second hand shop and only cost 40kr. I hope every winter isn't like this!
What a waste of money,
On a less serious note, I also found it more depressing without the snow during the dark periods (November and December). I hope that there will be more snow in January.
Up until early this year we were constantly reminded that we will live our lives burning in a fiery hot hell.
Yet time and again these prophets of doom were not just wrong they are found to be Cherry Picking the facts.
Statistical liars!
In Australia the laughable predictions included there would be NO SNOW by this year and that the people of the Maldives would drown as sea water rose yet they have just put in a new airport for the tourists.
While the feeble minded are panicked by Climate Change nee Global Warming the people at the IPCC are proven liars with Climate Gate 1 and now 2.
The people at the IPCC should be charged with obtaining money by fraudulent means.
What a shame that the truth and the case for keeping our planet clean was driven by liars and people with a financial interest.
Yes but hopefully we can see beyond the narrow self-interest of the oil corporations.
