Hey brother! I guess I'm the only one not in on the joke lol
I would have expected a more creative name, like "Larry the third" but that tells you more about me than you lol

It wasn't for public consumption when I made it. The pandemic forced it into use. But larry le troisième does have a certain ring to it.

Soooooo COP26 is going on right now, with all the usual platitudes spoken by all the usual people flying in on the usual blizzard of private jets.
Who else feels this is an exercise in "doing something" as opposed to actually making tough choices and implementing policy?

I saw a clip from tictok that summed up our chances on climate change. He was saying that with Covid-19 we had a safe and effective vaccine at the same time the virus was killing thousands of people, and a goodly amount of us refuse to take it. Then think how hard climate change is going to be to deal with. If we can't get folks to protect themselves in the present, we don't have a chance in hell of getting them to worry about something happening in the future. We are pretty much screwed.

There are plenty of examples of humanity thinking ahead to the next generations, but in nearly all cases, the societies involved were very small.
Dr Jared Diamond's book 'Collapse' discusses the various ways civilisations have collapsed in the past. It's sobering reading, to say the least.

The weather guy at one of the Panama City TV stations was excited about it. But it is well east of me, so I hadn't really paid attention. The possible eight inches of rain was a shock to hear. It's sunny here.

It’s sunny here too, but that isn’t unusual.

Today was the last day of hurricane season. We got off light this year. Lots of tropical bs, but only one hurricane. And although Fred was only a cat 1, it did a good bit of damage. I had run down to check on the riverhouse, and a big hickory tree came down across the driveway. So I walked the 1.6 miles to the house in the worse of the storm.
