climate change demo as the righteous gathered yesterday to demand change. yawn.

Ah … so the subject is climate change is it?

There was a photo of actor Leonardo Dicaprio leading a march in NY, and he was flanked by two silly looking older guys who are we must believe, American Indians. Makes sense really.  Mother earth, things gween, the nature loving keepers of it all, the Indian. One old guy is wearing a watch cap with a few feathers in it, I guess that makes him authentic okay.  The other guy is wearing those Indian bead like things down his front and has really long hair braids, pig tails(?) and so I guess he is authentic also. Dicaprio and the Indians (?) are holding a sign that says “Aboriginal and treaty rights” but that’s all I could see in the photo.
Oh, so maybe the guys are real Indians. No probs with that, just don’t get the connection between treaty rights and the sky falling.

But, the sky is gonna fall and these jerks are gonna save us from ourselves. That’s thoughtful ovem.

And all we need do is give up electricity and coal and nuke power and oh right. Almost forgot.  Stop eating meat.  And no more cars. Evil polluters that they are.
What the world needs are horses and donkeys. Well, besides the donkeys that walk upright and vote that is.
Comrades … utopia is ours. 

Here’s a headline of interest from the left on this side of the Atlantic.

Climate change march: Investors pledge to take their money out of firms blamed for climate change

And of course, those firms will go bust right away and won’t bother looking for saner investors to fill the gap.

It’s being reported that 700 financial institutions controlling over $48bn of assets are pledging to pull their money out of investments that “exacerbate climate change.” Whatever happened to our old favorite, global warming?

Some of the reported agencies pledging to withhold monies are the British Medical Association, a charitable Trust, and the Quakers, who have joined the “dirty energy divestment campaign”.

Around 40,000 people marched in London yesterday to demand urgent action on climate change.  I guess those dweebs either had the time cos none of em have jobs to go to, or else it was a day away from the spouse.  Whatever.

A good time was had by all, and the working class was on hand to clean up the mess after the wankers had all left.

The divestment movement has 500 wealthy individuals and 168 institutions, mostly from the US, but also from Europe, Australia, Africa and the UK. The UK’s contribution comprises seven institutions with a combined investment portfolio of just £250m.  ($407m)

“It is disappointing that only seven of the 168 institutions who have pledged to invest in greener energy rather than fossil fuels are British,” said James Arbib, the founder of the UK’s Tellus Mater Foundation, a grant-making environmental trust that is one of the seven.

“UK organisations need to wake up and join the global movement away from non-renewable energy before it is too late,” he added.
The World Council of Churches – a fellowship of about 300 churches that represent 590 million people in 150 countries – is another recent addition to the dirty-energy divestment campaign.

It’s a longish kinda story and so I edited some and leave you with the link to more.

. Pretty boring stuff when it isn’t funny.
Or ... maybe not too funny cos as we already know, ‘true believers’ can cause much grief over time.  Look what happened to our light bulbs here. And now vacuum cleaners and soon other electric appliances.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
