Climate Change Songs?

[andy-hughes]

Apart from that fact that I personally perceive the notion of 'climate change' as arrant nonsense - it is interesting that it's not been possible to parlay a hit out of it.

It reminds me that when Prince Charles married Lady Diana, I compiled a radio piece about the simple fact that of the twenty-plus 'comedy' songs about the union, not one came anywhere near the charts. Media URL: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-34844244

A shame that you perceive climate change as arrant nonsense. Also a shame that pretty much nobody in the scientific community would agree with you.

Do you really mean that andy? Climate change has been going on since climates started :-)

Anyway, that aside, I think there's a chance for some light relief here

[RandyMarsh]

yes, very very interesting.

It's Raining Men?

[RandyMarsh]

Yeah, what about the final countdown and that row by Michael Jackson, earth song?

A cold rains a gonna fall.
Dylan was nothing if not prescient.

Further to my original post, I should clarify my position from my rather over-generalised observation -

I understand that the earth has hated up and cooled down since its inception so 'climate change' is as old as history itself.

What I cannot get my head round is the amount of publicity, and money(!) generated by those wh act as though this is some sort of man-made phenomenon and that we in the west have the entire responsibility for stopping it by monitoring our 'carbon footprint' - excuse me while I heave quietly.

As long as China continues to construct coal-burning power stations at the rate of one a week, I shall remain free of personal responsibility for a natural phenomenon that occupies people with far too much time and money on their hands.

climate change is not nonsense andy, it happens continually. I think you mean it is nonsence that mankind can effect it.

[jim360]

Well I guess that's that cleared up then.

Neil Young- After the Gold Rush
Joni Mitchell- Big Yellow Taxi
David Bowie- Five Years
Cat Stevens- Where do the Children Play

TTT - // climate change is not nonsense andy, it happens continually. I think you mean it is nonsence that mankind can effect it. //

Exactly - I hope my further explanation dissolves any doubts about where I stand on this issue.

We should have heeded the Carpenters' warning one winter years ago:

"There's a kind of slush all over the world"

I agree with jim and 97% of scientists also agree they make a good living out of it.

[jim360]

"good". Hahahaha.

I think a lot of the problems arise in the conflicting information out there , one source will say dwindling another will say thriving.

Well , I find it confusing anyway.
