Monday 11th 41F, rain and heavy overcast at 7am. It cleared for my walk and turned into a pretty sky of high, fluffy clouds against blue. Though banks of thicker cloud are threatening to take over again. A cold SE wind on my walk along the road. Where a stealth digger battled with the endless task of draining the corrugated fields.After years of use and abuse the lanyard on my Lumix TZ7 has finally parted at the thinnest bit. I had no idea how much I depended on it until now. I had taught myself to use it to draw the camera out of its dirt cheap, but long lasting, vinyl case. But only once the thicker loop was safely around my wrist. It has saved the camera from countless falls. Providing security without conscious thought. Vital when conscious thought is in such short supply.
Denmark's new "green" government has appointed a Climate Ambassador. His team's responsibility is to reduce Denmark's increasing CO2 production by 70% by the year 2130. They keep talking about 2030, only 11 years away, but at the present rate of CO2 increase they really ought to me more honest. I know, let's all aim for a slightly smaller increase by 2130. Just like the rest of the planet.
The Climate Ambassador will no doubt be flying all over the same planet to encourage others to reduce their CO2 production. His private, Jumbo jet, reserved for junkets by his growing "empire" of lavishly rewarded, private consultants, all on a hefty retainer, will be named "Hypocrisy."
Probably written in solid gold leaf six feet high. In a font specially designed by a famous Danish architect. For an obscenely, overgenerous handout and lifelong, tax-free pension for his entire family into future generations. No, that's not right. This reward is reserved exclusively for those "who serve." The politicooze class. Those who have slaved away, day and night and weekends, to make this world the absolutely perfect place it is today. After all, they have been in charge for so long that it couldn't, possibly, be any other way!
