Let's all join in

Here’s a rock solid prediction. By the year 2080, the whole world will have forgotten how to fry food. As diet fads become more and more extreme and the cult of the healthy diet goes global, the art of frying food will be completely forgotten. Frying pans will be obsolete because nobody knows what they are for.

If I’m wrong by 2080 I’ll own up and admit it, but here’s another rock solid prediction. By the year 2080, the whole world will have forgotten about sexual intercourse as we understand it. Gender politics will have become so extreme and convoluted... 

…crikey this is easy. Maybe I should be a journalist.

In my peace on Climate Change in Broad Oak Magazine I mention that a certain professor from that well known issuer of profound statements the UEA did in 2000 say the same thing, since then we have had snow in the majority of winters since including this one, do they ever look out of the labs windows...................

They promised us Mediterranean gardens, pick your own olives.
They lied.
For the past year the burning of fossil fuel has plummeted CO2 in the atmosphere has risen.
Their records start whenever it suits them, so they can say "unprecented"" since records began"
I remember the 1950s. It was warm, we had floods.The North Pole was ice free.
They stopped calling it Global Warming because, inconveniently, it did not.
They just want to fuck us.And th
The BBC leads the lying.

Big deal.

As a kid, I loved sledging, snowmen and stuff. Now I'm old, I'm happier without snow and ice.

So those old enough to remember it won't miss it; and those too young to remember it won't miss it either because you can't miss what you never knew.

Tiny amounts of sugar will be sold on the black market, like drugs. Only it will be more illegal to call it the "black market" than it will be to trade on it. We will only meet on Zoom. Babies will be born with masks on....

Wiggia - yet it was so easy for him to see that he could end up looking very foolish. As if the prospect of a headline was so irresistible that he just ignored the likely consequences.

Doonhamer - at Carsington Water there used to be an example of a drought resistant garden of the type we would supposedly need in the future with an information board explaining everything. All gone now.

Mark - not only that but we'll need less heating, no maniac drive to insulate all our houses to an even higher standard and UK holidays could be more appealing.

A K Haart said...

Sam - you could become a journalist too!

AndrewZ said...

A K, you'd never get anywhere in modern journalism. You ask too many questions.

A K Haart said...

Andrew - I bet you do too, but I'm constantly surprised at how many people don't ask the questions they should ask.

The first time I ever visited Derbyshire, it snowed...

And it was a beautiful sight too!

A K Haart said...

Scrobs - yes it can be beautiful in the snow, but so many places are apart from towns and cities.

AndrewZ said...

A K - I suspect that a big part of the problem with the media, and people in public life more generally, is that they are acutely aware of which questions have answers that will be damaging to their own agenda. Therefore, they avoid raising them and try to stop anybody else from doing so, no matter how important those questions may actually be.
