I have just discovered that we now have a government department that rejoices in the name - wait for it as I can hardly type for laughing - Department of Energy and Climate Change. (The italics are mine of course).
Dear God! perhaps said dept will, by means of new policies, reverse climate change?
They'll have a fair bit of work to do, given that the climate has been changing for the last 10 billion years or so (unless of course you are one of those sadly-deluded "creationists" who believe that the earth - the centre of everything of course (!) was created in six days - in which case substitute 6000 years for the 10 billion...). I read in the Wikipedia piece on the subject of Creationism that a mere 25% of the population of Turkey believe in the theory of evolution; poor Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) must be spinning in his grave.
Until the next time
