Dire Predictions, Allegedly

London News tonight:

Climate change protesters meet to plan possible protest that could bring London to a standstill this Summer.

Protest might start with a camp at Heathrow, which might then travel down the M4 to central London and probably converge in Hyde Park.

There could also be a flotilla.

The reporter is speaking live from somewhere in Heathrow, the stage of possible protests.

We are shown the document where these probabilities are discussed.

Probably.

Next news story: the Southeast might see an increase in the number of incinerators to deal with the problem of lack of available space at landfills. There is just too much rubbish...

...how appropriate.

(Anyway, local activists don't want the incinerators either. Like those in East London who don't want a new huge Royal Depo on a brownfield site - by brownfiled I mean a wharehouse ruin overgrown with weeds - where rare - rare for London that is - species of spiders and other insects breed. It's a brownfield site for heaven's sake...!)

P.S. On a different, but non unrelated subject, I have just been told I'll be going to Mozambique to do some work related to the environment, land use and possible effects of climate change. Hooray!

I hope it will be hot...
