Wouldn't it be acceptable if we were to get some good weather around Christmas and New Year. Afterall we've taken rather a beating of late.
When I left school in 1958 and took up crofting seriously along with my father , I can't remember weather of the kind we are getting now. Nobody, I know, can tell me that my memory is at fault. I can't recallect gales and floods over a prolonged period nor also the unnatural mild warmth we can have in the winter too. May I point out here also Summer droughts were not known as they are now.
I therefore wonder what the weather is going to be like twenty years from now; not even considering the the beginning of the next centuary when I shall not be around. But is it not sad to think that many could be suffering in ways that we know not yet.
It is ok to say that Global Warming is going to sort itself out and that it is not a threat anyway. All the same, the people who are knowledgeable regarding this issue of our times provide us with a strange feeling that they have the right end of the stick : increased precipitation, increased sea levels, flodding, agriculture affected and the ways of wildlife altering in a peculiar way.
The Kyoto Treaty may have been of benifit afterall, and that whatever developes from it could be a step fordward to bringining the nations of the world to work in unision.
When we talk about diasters, and the world has experienced many. I was recently refreshed as regards the Bophal catastrophe in India in the year 1997. There were 15,000 to 20,000 deaths and half a million survivors left with cronic medical ailments.
What should one say then, with a focus like this, are we to trust the boffins and what they say to us; Will Britain always be safe from a peace time calamity as far as Nuclear power is concerned.
Our climate and powers of different kinds seem to go hand in hand these days, I believe.

In spite of all that has been said about Wind Farms and if they are going to meet the demand for clean electricity by 2010 and 2020 without this country having to rely also on Nuclear Power. Work has started recently on a further offshore farm in the Solway Firth.This type of project seems to be on the increase, the whole idea being satisfactory if we are not to overindulge in introducing too many turbines to the landscape.
It appears, from what we are led to believe that power from wind comes to us at a lower cost than its opposite Nuclear Power in spite of the visual difficulty regarding too many turbines. Nuclear Power appers to be exceedingly more expensive to get it up and running and then again decommissioning not really that many years later.
I know also, as was to my own leaning, that anything referred to as nuclear was full of doubts, and some fears still remain. I can, alhtough, understand the need to be realistic in this so called "new age."
This is not about five decades ago when Nuclear Power was in its infancy and near accidents did happen. But now I must admit that exceeding care is being taken in the more advanced counteries. Really, the scientists and the experts are people who approach their intricate duties not in a haphazard way but conscious of complete saefty.
I feel more confident now having given both forms of energy due consideration, that the combined sources of energy wind turbine and nuclear might be the answer to extreme environmental problem. That is if humanity is aware of this express need.

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.
