Health and safety craze has less to do with health and safety and more
to do with companies/organisations covering their own arses from
people sueing them because the hot drink they've just bought didn't
have caution drink may be hot printed on the cup.
As for climate change, I believe the original skepticism was regarding
the computer models being used for the predictions, and having no way
of proving if the predictions were correct or not. That all changed
with the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. This gave the computer modelers the
opportunity to forecast the changes to the climate as a result of the
huge ash plume emitted from the volcano. The predictions were made and
were proved accurate over the next two years with the ash cloud
circling the globe twice.
With a major breakthrough by the nuclear fusion mob this year,
hopefully they can get it sorted and that will solve a lot of the
current energy problems.
To make an analogy of it, if you were doing 120mph down the M1 and you
ran over something that may or may not have damaged a tyre, do you
stop and check it or just put your foot down in the hope it's all right?
Leeds bit, When Beckford was brought down the other night, I may be
wrong because I've never watched the game since 75, but that foul for
the pen really reminded me of the one Beckenbaur did on Clarke for the
penalty that never was in the Parc des Princes.
That's my tuppence worth.
