So today apparently the G8 have moved “forward” with agreements on Climate Change as Mr Blair put it. All I can see is continued attempts to sweep aside the rising media and public noise urging more action on climate change. I think I should be forgiven for missing what they have achieved, I still find it incredible how childish an attitude is displayed by these the figures who are controlling this planets immediate future. The attitude that we won’t do anything if person/group x won’t is surely more reminiscent of a playground or a child’s response to a parents request when their sibling is not expected to follow the same request. It is important that climate change is a world wide effort, but whilst the G8 argue and fail to take any sort of credible or actionable stand, many smaller countries are getting on with it. Maybe something that they should consider, lead by example and all that!
Big Brother is the other point, something which I highly detest and only picked up on via the radio. Channel 4, worried over possible head bashing from Ofcom have evicted a contestant for referring in what appears to be a none-aggressive manner to another as a ‘nigger’. Yet Channel 4′s E4 flagship entertainment channel plays music during the day which should surely be considered just as, if not more derogatory. Double standards?
