Climate change emergency declared by County Council

[Tilly]

Well Siberia is on fire, the Amazon rain forest is on fire, Greenland ice is disappearing fast.

I think somebody should send a memo to somebody about all this. Maybe even TWO memos.

Are you carbon neutered by the way

It's just when you answered your solar powered phone just now...

Come on Tillers, promise me you'll buck up.

Don't you know that all power used by the human race on this world derives from the Sun either directly or indirectly !! (With one mighty exception.)
In fact all energy period used on this planet derives from the Sun, with that one exception.

That exception is of course nuclear power, which derives from some long forgotten Suns that died billions of years ago. Deep down beneath our feet that nuclear power has kept the Earth warm inside for far longer than it otherwise would be. But for that, it would be colder than a Yorkshireman's wallet.

PS Our Sun and all those other long gone stars derived their power from nuclear sources. At the end of the day, we are all mostly nuclear waste products.

In answer to your question I haven't been carbon neutered. I actually like Carbon. If you take all the carbon out of a human being you're left with a few buckets of water, a two inch nail, some explosive gases (even more so for politicians) and a few other odds and sods of unpleasant elements.

But, with a little bit of work, you could make a pretty decent sized diamond out of all that carbon. A true geezer diamond.

I seem to remember from my comic days Superman could grip a piece of coal in his hand and compress it to make a diamond. (Hell of a way to pay your bar bill …. )
