So whats going on with the weather?

Some time ago on this blogg I was talking about the weather and global warming, talking about how everything we do makes a difference to the potential weather changes that are going on. So do you still not recycle? did you still buy without thinking about the carbon footprint of your presents? to say nothing of the local economic impact of buying more imported goods; It looks like the weather is changing after all. French TV is filled with reports of Northern Europe facing weather shifts due to polar winds coming further down than ever before because there is less ice to reflect the suns rays they dont expect it to get any better just get worse over the years to come So do you still want to buy that four wheel drive? maybe you think you need it because of the snow? But maybe not? You Can see how far the weather comes one hour outside of Lyon the snow stops it,s a line right across France After initial disbelief over the cancelled flight on Christmas eve back to Ireland with all the 40 odd expats it turned into a bizarre short story One fellow al
most passanger lives in Geneve and had been trying to get back to Cork for 5 days he had spent over 1000 Euros on different tickets around Europe to get home e left him with a flight from Paris but no train to Paris to get the flight.Maybe he will thnk differently about those in Cork he wants to see in future; Lots of familys with small children were left bewildered ? one mother on explaining that the flight had been cancelled and they were not going to Ireland for Christmas thought that Christmas had been cancelled Scream followed.
We thought we were being hard done by not getting home for Christmas? then we saw images of Paris airport and people on camp beds for the night provided by the army Back in Ireland they told me in London Heathrow they were sleeping on the floorAt least air Lingus put us in a four star hotel Lots of TV coverage with food coming too late along the roads for Christmas well afterall its France food matters.

Weather effects everything , we no longer have the resources to sustain the consumerism we were all brought up with.We have to act differently, behave diferently if we can continue to sustain some sort of existance Its not just about learning to live with the snow. Its bigger than that.

Anyway going to try and get home tomorrow via Lyon Dublin who knows.
