Very sad to find a dead fox near the canal this morning. I saw one earlier in the autumn in Camden and then again in York way at the top of the hill… possibly the same – undoubtedly a youngster from this year. Came into work with fox blood on my hands – I hope it is there when I go home as I would like its skull…

It is the usual story – the news proclaims the rain across the UK and some areas get massive amounts, particularly the west & north, but London and the south east get passed by…
😦

There is not much to say regarding this story. It was always going to be a struggle with a lame US president and Cameron not attending.
Pathetic.

Saudi Arabia’s export of wheat – I recall reading about that madness years ago in Ehrlich’s The Population Explosion, back in 1990. Effectively they exported water. Not any more. Short term greed and the refusal to look to the consequences of actions… how stupidly human and moronic.
“Over the last few weeks, Heartland has lost at least $825,000 in expected funds for 2012, or more than 35% of the funds its planned to raise from corporate donors, according to the campaign group Forecast the Facts, which is pushing companies to boycott the organisation.”
Excuse me, but ha-bloody-ha. I hope this and all such ‘anti-global warming’ groups shrivel up and perish. They ignore what suits them.
