The weather

Apparently there was a high of 24 degrees in London today, with a predicted high of 22 degrees tomorrow. Ah well. I was reading in the paper today that some areas of Spain are having their first rainfall for a year and it's not very much.

Think I read that George Bush has at least started a campaign to make American citizens more aware of the issue of global warming and giving them information about the things they can do in their own lives to cut down emissions that contribute to the current situation. Well, I take it that The Independent took over the role the government should be playing here when it issued it's two part magazines to give people information about the state of the planet as a whole and giving facts about what people could do that could cut down on contributing to global warming. But how many people did that reach? Why isn't there a sustained campaign by the government to educate people. It's not as if what's happening is going to be something you can hide. It's moving on past that now. But maybe if enough people on this planet, including the 60 million or so in this country, become more aware there could be quite some damage limitation to aim for.
