Upsetting

+I fear John McDonnell, the former shadow chancellor may have upset the entire Christian community. He told Huffpost yesterday, speaking in favour of another full national lockdown, that ‘you can revive the economy over time, you can’t resurrect the dead.’ I can see he will need to clarify his remarks. What he meant was that Boris Johnson can’t resurrect the dead. So far as we know.
 
+The Guardian recently declared how it was going to become zero carbon, in a spurt of self-congratulatory leadership. Good luck with that. But good intentions cannot come at a cost, so there are still full page adverts for gaz guzzling SUVs. One that has particularly got up my nose shows a Range Rover ploughing up a river in the countryside. Exactly what section of the Guardian community shares the mentality that would find such an image attractive? Perhaps the Mad Men know something I don’t about G-readers.

+Catching up with climate change news, this headline caught my attention: Brain-Eating Amoeba Moving North Across America, and Climate Change May Be Why This rather disturbing sentence appeared in Newsweek where you can read all about it. I was searching for a link between the story and the current crisis in the White House. I suspect they're keeping it under wraps for now.
