If you prefer to take inspiration from real people rather than animated ones, here's a message from the Maldivian President. Is that the same Maldives whose economy is so dependent on tourism? Guess they'd better start building high-speed rail links to the rest of the world...

This lot did a performance about climate change at the Plough Arts centre (which by all accounts was very good.) They also asked the Chair of the Commons Conservators Committee on which I sit if they could have an outdoor event on the commons which would involve 350 people and a giant inflatable giraffe. Although we were some what bemused we granted permission.
A day or two later Sean mentioned that they were holding this event with a blow-up Earth. Eventually I worked out that the inflatable "giraffe" was in fact a "Gaia Earth" filtered through the ears of a slightly deaf old gentleman.
(In the event it was too windy and they couldn't get it up)

I find that's the problem with most activists.

A common trait of deaf old gentlemen, as I'm finding to my cost!

I find it most disconcerting that I seem to share a sense of humour with Gervase. Maybe that's why Mary-Jane tut-tut's at my posts so frequently.
