RatusAs is often the case, time seems to have gotten away from me again. Winter is having it's usual effect on me; cold, dark and short days induce extreme apathy in me. I keep telling myself that I'm going to go out with my camera and make some new pictures, but when I get to it, I can't motivate myself to actually get out the door. So as a substitute, I arrange things on benches and tables to photograph. Ratus (pictured above) is one such arrangement.
Winter is a good time for catching up on your reading. I am presently reading Ian Plimers new book, 'Between Heaven And Earth'. In this book, Ian sets out to show why he is of the opinion that the current theory of co2 induced global warming is unscientific drivel. Having read about 100 pages so far, I am convinced that he is right. Although climate change may be occuring, it is certainly within historically recognizable limits. You have to wonder what all the bloody fuss is about. This is not to say that we should not be working towards reducing our dependence on fossil fuels; we most emphatically should be moving away from oil and coal dependence, but for reasons entirely unrelated to global climate change. Modern civilization is entirely dependent on unlimited access to cheap fossil fuels. Supplies of these fuels are finite; when they are gone, they are gone forever.
