Boyfie wants to skip breakfast? How is that even possible?

I've never really addressed those rumors, 'cause I always figured
why defend yourself against something that's not offensive?

We will be Ok.
It's a bit nippy here.
Boyfie has discovered that I put the fire on in the kitchen when it
gets -5 or more.
It's horribly cold here.
We are expecting a foot of snow overnight, but we are prepared ;-)
How lucky I am not to have to go to work..as they would 've deducted my
pay if I did not chance it.

Considering the extremes of weather all over the world, I simply cannot
understand how ANYONE can refuse to believe in the reality of "Climate
Change"!

I can't either.

I consider myself to be a scientist. I have a degree in physics.

There is evidence to support the theory of climate change. But it
is just a theory.

What is debatable is the arrogance of Man in deciding that it's
our activities that are causing climate change.

I also studied geology. The geological record, if the theories
are to be believed, shows climate change over many millenia (and
I use that to mean *tens of millions* of years, not thousands).
The theories say that there were no species of man around when
many of the changes previously occurred.

Modern climate change and geology are just theories. We can't
actually prove any of it.

Good points! However, I do believe we don't need to be cutting down
tons of forests and destroying ecosystems just because we can. I don't
have a solution, nor do I wish to start any sort of polical debate.
That happens, I'll kill the thread. I'm just saying there are some
things we can and should do more responsibly.

Climates always change, always have and always will. It is possible,
although not proven, that human activities are contributing to the
current changes. It is also possible, but most certainly not proven,
that changing human activities will alter the direction of climate
change, whether it's natural or human-caused or human-influenced.

This doesn't mean humans can't or shouldn't decide to live a low-key
lifestyle if necessary to maintain natural resources, or make
well-planned changes to clean up polluted land to re-use it as anything
from parks to housing. It does mean that radical changes in the economic
system are far more likely to have unintended side-effects in the short
and probably long term than they are to have the effects predicted by
their proponents on the poorly-understood world climate.

A LOT of the ones I've read about - eg making energy artificially more
expensive so people use less of it - are FAR more likely to make life
even more miserable and precarious for the poorest people than they are
to fulfil the climate change predictions of their middle and upper class
supporters.

There won't be when the current trend resolves itself, either! So?
However much humankind is or is not contributing to it, can anyone deny
it's happening?

Modern climate change and geology are just theories. We can't
actually prove any of it.

With a great deal of evidence to support them. (Including the
progressive extinction of corals and the microscopic critters they
support, which in their turn support other marine life, with food fish
for humans being one link in the chain.)

Ummm... Seems to me its an issue that goes far beyond the "political",
Jill. We're talking survival of "life" as we know it, here!

inherit the earth, ultimately.)

He has found that I always feed the chickens before him so he may as well
come down the garden with me - pretending to help but really saying "hurry
up so can get mine."
I am happy that he has a great appetite.
I spent a lot of time making nice things for my cat and dogs when they got
CRF and having them rejected.
All those little tuna things and chicken for Kitty Farmcat. All the things
I cooked for my elderly whippets.
Would I do it again?
My head says no. My heart says absolutely.
