AGW threatens the Inuit people (innit) of the melting Arctic. Fergal Keane
using his best BBC -ever so concerned thrash me with the nearest soggy birch-leaf voice- gave a dramatic report from the... err...frozen wastes of north east Canada-well they were frozen. The lead into this 'special report' was laced almost toxically with the theme of melting ice caps, wild life threatened, culture at risk etc etc. Well poor old Fergal (he's Irish you know , very oppressed by the wicked English) struggled to find evidence of runaway GW in fact it was cold very cold with plenty of snow, so much in fact the ice was too thick to cut fishing holes, oh well try a new tact. So then poor old Fergal pondered how life could change when GW finally kicked in. I know this one, I thought, their ice holes they use to fish would be easier to cut ? In fact with more open water fishing would be a lot easier. No, no, no, it would seem I'm wrong, the more freezing hostile the environment seemingly the better it is for the Inuit. Fergal Sharkey then went on to show that a good story is hard to find, so he resorted to the old BBC lefty middle-class angst ridden chestnut-loss of cultural identity. He then he rattled on about how Inuit's had resorted to alcohol self abuse as a response to AGW (boo hiss) It then occurred to me that not only has this process been going on for over a hundred years way before GW hit the road, it also has nothing to do with AGW (boo hiss) but more to do with the awfully depressing life style that you get from living in such a harsh isolated environment unlike Malaga where people see alcohol abuse as having a good time. Better luck next time BBC. |

I'd been out all evening and desperately switched on the news to find out the
score in the ManU game and I was confronted with what you described so well below. I shouted something like "where's the news?" and went onto a reliable source of information the InterNet - ironically BBC Sport, LOL. 7-1, 7-1, 7-1, ... YAY ... COME ON YOU REDS!!!
