For once the calendar generally used by people coincides with the true calendar of AKIC. It is Friday for you and Friday for AKIC! I have changed my days off. I will now take Saturdays and Sundays off.
However, tomorrow I won't be able to get away from the school because it is having a field trip. Students and Staff will go to a park to look at Peach Blossoms.
Yesterday, we went to the new Caterpillar site to conduct oral tests for a batch of students whose English we hope to improve. We were driven on nice new roads where the traffic was light and the buildings were new. It looked to me like a case of over building. We tested students for three hours straight.
Global Warming is a load of hooey! The writer of this article makes these observations:
"If Marohasy is anywhere near right about the impending collapse of the global warming paradigm, life will suddenly become a whole lot more interesting.
"A great many founts of authority, from the Royal Society to the UN, most heads of government along with countless captains of industry, learned professors, commentators and journalists will be profoundly embarrassed. Let us hope it is a prolonged and chastening experience.
"With catastrophe off the agenda, for most people the fog of millennial gloom will lift, at least until attention turns to the prospect of the next ice age. Among the better educated, the sceptical cast of mind that is the basis of empiricism will once again be back in fashion. The delusion that by recycling and catching public transport we can help save the planet will quickly come to be seen for the childish nonsense it was all along.
"The poorest Indians and Chinese will be left in peace to work their way toward prosperity, without being badgered about the size of their carbon-footprint, a concept that for most of us will soon be one with Nineveh and Tyre, clean forgotten in six months.
"The scores of town planners in Australia building empires out of regulating what can and can't be built on low-lying shorelines will have to come to terms with the fact inundation no longer impends and find something more plausible to do. The same is true of the bureaucrats planning to accommodate 'climate refugees."
