Here I am! just saying that and promoting my latest project really

Looking for anyone I can collaborate with and get myself started on a career path that doesn't involve working in an office for a large organisation. And we all need to be doing more to clean up the environment and reduce our impact on global warming and climate change

Oma Stanescu

Better climate engineering! Sorry, I don't believe this Turkish delight with climate change! I wanted to say another word, more appropriate, but I abstained.

Mark Boxall

Hi. I'll say it for you then. Basing everything on climate change and global warming arguments is complete bollocks. Here is what I have to say at the end of my book 'There is one last thing that has occurred to me and that is the whole question about global warming and climate change. There are strong arguments on all sides as to whether it is happening and the amount of influence that humankind has on it. I think that it is a major mistake to present it in this fashion. The world has heated up and cooled down constantly since the planet first formed, sea levels have risen and fallen dramatically and researchers are finding more and more evidence of these events all the time. The one thing that no-one can successfully argue against is that pollution is bad for everyone and everything. This is where the emphasis needs to be placed to stop the endless arguing that seems to be the mainstay of everything these days. We need to stop accepting all the negativity and concentrate on being positive and proactive.'

Oma Stanescu

From dumping iron filings in the ocean to spraying artificial clouds, scientists are starting to consider some unconventional ways to tackle climate change. Some policymakers hope these techniques could one day make up for failing to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions now. But climate engineering’s side effects make it a risky fallback plan, new research suggests.

Mark Boxall

Yes. As I said above it's focussing everything on just one aspect of the bigger problem and so leading to ridiculous and impractical solutions such as wind farms and battery electric vehicles, neither of which are sustainable and are actually delaying the move away from fossil fuels.

I don't believe in the "good" that they wish for us, ordinary people, those who rule the world from the shadows because they say that there are too many of us on this earth and we must be reduced to half or even less. Millions have died with scamdemic covid and are still dying. What Eminescu, a Romanian poet from the 19th century, said is perfectly true even today:

"What's justice? See the mighty, behind their fortune's shielding,

Erect their laws and edicts, to serve them as afoil,

Against ye ever plotting, with wealth stolen from your yielding,

Whom they to labor sentence, by boundless powers they're wielding

And hold in subjugation your lives of ceaseless toil.

With sated langour gorge they the sweets their lives o'ercumber,

Bright hours upon them smiling, their day in dalliance flies;

In winter, 'mind green gardens, they quaff the wine's rich amber,

In heat of summer sweltering' mid Alpine peaks they clamber,

And night to morn transforming, they close day's sleepy eyes.

For them what folk call virtue does not exist; yet vicarious,

To ye, they falsely preach it; your doughty brown and sweat

Their lumbering States are needing, for their glorious expansion;

Their fiery wars need fighting, that they may rise victorious;

That by your bloody slaughter your rulers may be great.

Their navies flaunting proudly, and armies high-belauded,

The crowns, by reigning monarchs, on haughty foreheads borne,

Those millions piled on millions, in lavish heaps, safe-hoarded,

Rich vampires are amassing, depress the poor, defrauded,

And from o'er-burdened toiling of weary mobs are drawn.

Religion- 'tis but phrasing, created for your deceiving,

That by its lure enthralling, your yoked necks ye'll bow;

For held the heart no vision of reward relieving,

After your bitter labors and life of constant grieving,

Would ye still carry the curse, like oxen at the plough?

With shadows vague and formless your sight they have extinguished;

By faith in last requital, mendaciously have led;

Oh, no; when life lies dying, all joy must be relinquished;

To whom this world naught gifted, save sorrow, sore and anguished

Gains no recovery post-mortem; for those who die are dead.

Vain lies, empty phrases alone the States sustaining;

Pretense that destined order they cunningly portray;

To make ye strong defenders, their wealth and power maintaining,

In armed ranks conscribing, by discipline constraining;

To fight your very brothers, they drive you to the fray.

Unto malignant millions why are ye subjugated;

Ye that a mere subsistence scarce wring from ceaseless toil?

To early death and waste why are you dedicated,

While they in easy comfort have aye luxuriated;

Scarce time amid their feasting to cast the mortal coil?

Bethink thee; power and numbers are yours for liberation!

It needs but that ye will it, to part the soil by might.

Build no more walls and ramparts to serve wealth's preservation;

Or make for you a prison, when, by desperation,

Ye fancy to life's bounty, ye also have the right.

By their own laws encompassed, they take their fill of treasure,

An drain earth's sweetest juices, till sweets, from surfeit, cloy,

Calling in gay carousals and revel-sated leisure,

For your fair virgin daughters, as tools to serve their pleasure;

Their foul lascivious ancients destroy our lovely youth.

Do you know what bitter portion to you is harshly fated?

Hard toil, wherefrom their riches they draw unto excess,

Black bread your tears have moistened, a life of serfdom hated,

Your maidens smirked and shameful, their happiness frustrated;

The heaven unto the mighty; to ye, the bitter mess!

Rich men require no statutes, for virtue grows concurrently

When every want is furnished; for ye the lawyer's screed;

For ye the regulations, and punishments deterrent,

When forth your hands are reaching, for like's good gifts aspirant;

There is no forgiveness, it's for your direst need.

Crush down the social order, accursed and unfair,

That 'twixt the poor wealthy our human kind dives

Since after death remains no hope to make repair,

On this old earthly planet let each with other share;

Be like a band of brothers that equally abides."
