Back despite non events

Besides an incredibly efficient trip to the dentist (quick, no injection, no pain) not a lot's happened since last time but if I start then something should still happen here. A lot to do at grandma's house tomorrow so no other plans besides that, but it has to be done. It's on the market now but no offers yet. But I'll always appreciate the freedom after 2 weeks waiting for dental appointments, the hygienist follows but nothing worrying there. Of course I'd still like more but hopefully more content with all there actually is.

I've been relaxing on twitter for a week or so taking the total piss out of the climate change mob. The total dross they link as if it's from the new New Testament by Jesus Gore himself is like watching the lunatics in Victorian asylums. I even start to believe it after a while, like hospital visitors do in psychiatric wards, but like them, it wears off soon after I leave. The clairvoyant drivel they spout, where thousands of academics paid for by you and me spend a few days in a hotel somewhere in a tourist spot guessing what may happen so they can get governments to do more (actually it's 'steal' more) to stop it happening, tells me every time why I do all I can to wake these total witless babies up. They don't think at all. Stop and look at the data. You can't see ahead in an open system, it may get you the weather over a few days (not in the UK though) as it's travelling in a fairly predictable direction, but that's the best they can do. Sea level predictions, despite being a few inches a century since Jesus lived, hook in all the poor sods who don't realise the only measurement that counts is today's compared with the past. If that's the same as it always has been then forget what they tell you as they don't have the ability to know, it's outside our scope.

But I've picked up a handful of followers there this week and a few compliments so not all wasted effort, and it's fun. I'm not trying to be rude or hurt anyone, it's similar to the army trying to defuse a ticking bomb, but with humour. They want to blow up civilised society to stop the climate blowing up civilised society, except the difference being they can do it and have already done a bloody good job. Apart from China there's no legislation on population, and none I know banning building on flood plains. If you built on a minefield and then moaned when a mine went off everyone would turn their backs and walk away, yet when whole cities are built in the mouths of river deltas and the like it's our job to subsidise them if they go under. That's not a fair deal is it? And not being a scientist I'm not going to learn the science they are using to guess the effects of a little more CO2 as it's degree level, but the difference between the equations they do present and common sense allow me to take them apart after the event. I do want a scientist to help me but they don't grow on trees.

So to follow the 2,500 scientists sent to throw dice to imagine future sea levels long after we're all dead, I'll think of a few plans of my own. I'm looking down every road within 40 miles in case more old signs turn up, writing articles from time to time, have three official forms to fill in over the next week or two, and meditating more again which may even have caused me to feel a lot calmer recently. I'll book up the check up now I'm free so I can get another supply of tablets, an eye test which I doubt will provide anything new but at least is free. I used to have a few pairs of frames but since I need £100+ lenses it's just the essentials. I had a plastic frame option as I prefer them but since they broke they're all metal now but very good ones. The photochromics are in a gold pair I got for £10 plus lenses, as I can still find frame bargains but can't afford the extra pairs of lenses to fill them now. If there's anything else I can't think of it, besides a football friendly or two next month when the pre season starts. Now I'll see what everyone else has written, I've got to get used to looking here now as well.

Where I get to share a Nobel Prize

I return. Remember I still blog at FT in the virtuals so this is the wider and slightly less restrained version. Maybe more than slightly but it's not someone else's site so why not.

Besides the daily routine I've had the usual investigations of the current global warming scene, and had it been a film or book the quotes they've been tweeting would have been pure comedy. 'The effects of global warming on water' was my favourite today. Ever seen a kettle? Fuck me... Anyway, one by one people are sending me little messages from the #climatechange page encouraging me, apparently I'm not actually pissing people off but doing some kind of a service. You do not spend five years part time studying psychology and hypnosis without understanding human manipulation. The standard hypnotic phrases and sentences are so familiar to anyone who's done a weekend NLP (programming the mind) course it's incredible how these sheep retweet every single (little word you can guess at's) well-sponsored study about how you get more sand in your navel at the beach or walruses' moustaches are getting shorter thanks to global warming. My examples aren't actually any less incredible than the real ones, and the cashflow into these arseholes who know full well they'd be lecturing stoned students on a flat rate had this goldmine not come about should be diverted back to the poor people sequestred to pay their windfall wages. That's me and you by the way. That's why I take it all personally.

It's finally the dentist tomorrow, that'll be like Androcles and the lion for any claustrophobic like me, when the thorn has finally been removed from my mind. More work at my late grandma's Friday and no idea beyond. I hope I'll appreciate the normal days after tomorrow with no distractions from them any more. I do intend to anyway. And meanwhile they can give me a Nobel Prize for my services to global warming. I said 'there isn't any global warming' and like magic there wasn't. Sometimes the simple approach is the best. http://www.australianclimatemadness.com/?p=3731&utm_source=feedcom&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+GlacierGate+%28Glacier+Gate%29&utm_content=Twitter Cooling-warming- what's the difference really- it's all change anyhow!
