A Message from Tuvalu: Year 2272
Dear Jennifer,
This is a note from my friend William York. He, like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is able to travel to the future and he has sent me this fascinating message:
Tuvalu 10pm New Year’s Eve, 30 December 2272
Dear Tom
I have just been listening to The Voice of Tuvalu, one of the most-listened-to Internet Radio Stations (IRS) of this extremely popular set of tourist islands. The IRS reported that the Tuvalu Museum Department of Sea Level Records has been given a contemporary copy of the Scripptures, one of the most sort-after documents of the early part of the twenty first century.
These documents are supposed to be the basis for a mysterious group called the IPCC. Little is known of their role and actions as they were evidently wiped out in 2020 and all their records destroyed by the governments who had evidently originally sponsored them.
It is thought that they may have acted like an environmental Taliban, another mysterious group operating at about the same time although there is no evidence that they acted in concert.
Darn Weather
The ‘Gore Effect’ happens when a global warming-related event, or appearance by the former vice president and climate change crusader, Al Gore, is marked by exceedingly cold weather or unseasonably winter weather. Read more here.
Stop the warming! Ban Coke!

Still Trees in Tasmania
You might like to add this http://www.tasmaniathemovie.com/trailers/ to your blog
It is obviously a counter to the Richard Flanagan partly scripted new movie ‘Australia’, and does show that the last tree has yet to be chopped down in Tassie.
Cheers, Cinders
Remember ‘Community Home’
Don’t forget that this blog has a community page.
Thanks to Art Raiche, there is a recent post with some great links to podcasts of the late Michael Crichton speaking about all sorts of things – even news as entertainment.
If you scroll through the recent posts you will even see a picture of me ontop of the Sydney Harbour bridge – that was last Saturday.
Last Sunday, I took the picture of this lizard in Noosa National Park.
