What A Change!!!

Here we go again ... almost the finish of another year, a year like its predecessors that has not been without incident. Many questions have assailed us with, probably, the most recent poser of the latter years being: " What is going on in the atmosphere and the world around us these days." The cleverst of people probe here and there, make measurements of every description, to warn us of Climate Change and Global Warming and that the world is in danger from an unseen enemy.
Just recently during a prolonged spell of exceedingly inclement weather, whether I wanted to or not, it was impressed on me to consider the past and the present,speculating if there is any revelent answer to all our weather change.
I am being told that it is much fanciful thinking that there is any serious alteration other than what the ages bring around. Well I'll attest for the sake of not displeasing such believers that there is maybe case here too.
But, really, as far as I am in truth concerned, I am as already stated, concerned with believing the cleverest of people with their beakers etc. who say that we have pumped at an ermous rate CO2 into the atmosphere and indeed space, there to be unseen, but doing its leathal work.
Over 60yrs on the Sunshine Island and considering myself an authority (of sorts) I feel that experience tells me that it wouldn't be all that much of a mistake to agree with the harbingers of recent change.
A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to You All.

Hiya Wanderer,
Just wondered if you knew anything about this new Bongo Blues Band, apparently from the lovely Tiree?
This one is new one on me.

This is a topic that really intrigues me Island Wandered, simply because this planet did in the past suffer an Ice Age and various other 'ages' as well and we weren't around at those times shoving CFCs into the air and polluting it with vehicle exhausts. Some scientific studies show that the ozone layer repairs itself faster than it is destroyed, other scientific studies disagree. I really wonder whether we are simply entering into a new stage of our planet's life, and that our behaviour is pretty much inconsequential. Don't agree with pollution obviously (asthma etc being affected by it) but I'm not 100% convinced that we are altering the course of our Earth's life stages.

As I'm currently at GLA waiting on my 'very bad for the environment but great way to travel' flight to London I thought I might as well pop on here to let you all know I'm being terribly unenvironmentally friendly... and I don't care! :-)
