Ice Nation

A beautiful NASA satellite photo of the British Isles (courtesy of Prodicus)...


...and it's still getting colder. But it is certainly beautiful - beautiful and deadly, unfortunately.

I'll tell you the truth. The climate has certainly changed over the past few years - it's got significantly colder. Why? No one knows.

But while our governments continue to follow the corrupt scientists still stubbornly pushing the debunked theory that was anthropogenic global warming, people will just have to fend for themselves. The entire Northern Hemisphere is frozen and idiot governments around the world still refuse to halt the suicidal policy of emissions capping.

Meanwhile, just to meet ridiculous, arbitrary targets derived from junk science and pushed by misanthropic delusionals, we have been growing less food, replacing crops with subsidised biofuel for instance, just when that food was needed most. Result: scarcity, record grain prices and, inevitably, starvation among the world's poorest. We are discouraged from burning coal - which is still plentiful, especially where I am (and the 'cleanest' in the world). Result: energy dependency, massively high fuel and energy prices and, inevitably, death among the nation's poorest and most vulnerable. We waste vast amounts of resources on alternative energy systems that don't work. Result: well, look around you. If this cold snap goes on much longer, we'll run out of energy altogether, having failed to fix the roof while the sun was, quite literally, shining. Again, the nation's poorest and most vulnerable (especially the old) will simply die off.

So you see, the ecofascists of this nation and this world already have a hell of a lot of blood on their hands and nothing they say or do from now until doomsday (itself a concept with which they are tellingly obsessed) will ever compensate for their crimes against humanity.

The sooner these criminals are brought to book, the sooner the world can be fed, warm - and sane - again.

PS: If you're a fan of the ice, you could always join these guys' protest against global warming...

Wild Swans


Confronted by this pair of hissing buggars while out walking the dog earlier on this (beautiful) evening. Swans are incredible animals - very elegant and all that - but why are they so bloody bad-tempered? I should have taken one for my pot. But then the queen would have had me arrested and sent to the Tower - or something. "Orf with his head!"

Sorry it's so dark - the camera on my phone is pants.

Amazing sky.

PS: There are loads of swans on this lake. They float around in formation like a squadron of light cruisers. They only bombard the shore from the air, though. Curious.

PPS: Swans, I suppose, are just like Wales: spectacular, but moody. I wouldn't have it any other way :)

Nice Day

Dodgy Cathedral

There's a funny thing about St David's Cathedral. It slopes. I don't know whether subsidence over the centuries or just ropey construction has caused it, but when you go inside you definitely find yourself walking ever so slightly uphill. Very odd.

And next to it lie the remains of the Bishop's Palace, which spontaneously fell to bits after Gordon Brown mentioned it in passing during a speech to
the Welsh Assembly in 2008.

Red Sunset


Another great dogwalking sunset down the beach.

The statue is meant to be an Osprey, the national bird of prey - or so the plaque says. I've never heard of anyone ever seeing one anywhere apart from the stuffed ones in the museum, that is. But I'm told they are around. They tend to keep themselves to themselves, nesting up in the mountains, hunting small mammals and generally not bothering anyone.

I do wish Gordon Brown would think about doing something like that.

High Tide

Dusk on the coastal path...
Long exposure - not great quality.
