A case of "me Tarzan you not Jane". Eh Nerd? Click here for sound.
Welcome to Bert's blog. Here you will find posts about me, my mates and perhaps some politics thrown in for good measure. "People shouldn't be afraid of their government, governments should be afraid of their people." - V
Whatever Hurricane Katrina's long-term effect on the way America thinks about global warming and oil dependency, it is probably going to make GM animal feed more expensive in Europe. Almost all US maize and soya goes through New Orleans and the port of Destrehan, and nothing is expected out for some time because of silting in the Mississippi. This should cheer up anti-GM activists in Britain who have been trying to persuade supermarkets to stick with non-GM supplies and not to accept produce that has been given GM feed.Nothing like gloating about you fellow human beings suffering to perfectly sum up the America hating enviro-lefties at Al Guardian. Not to mention the increase in price of a cheap protien source for poor Europeans who can't afford to shop at the local organic co-op, like all good Guardian journalists surely do. The global warming paragraph is pretty shody stuff too, quote:
If anyone can talk authoritatively about climate change in Britain, it should be farmers, and a National Farmers' Union survey of its members' experience of climate change has found some welcome unanimity. The average length of time those surveyed had been farming was 25 years, and all agreed that winters are now warmer and wetter and summers are hotter and drier. Among the comments were: "the balance of nature has changed"; "the way we used to make hay is impossible now" and "some areas are permanently waterlogged"Oh it must be true the noble land workers say so. Piffle.
I myself am a bit wary of investing in a company whose business plan consists of collecting lots of cash and taking off to Mars with it.
