Well for all those who still don't realise our climate and environment is reaching tipping point, how does the weather seem to you.
In the hills of Southern France we have been experiencing a long drawn drawn out hot and dry summer. Even with the occasional heavy storm the rivers are low and we are being told to prepare for a drought.
We are comparatively lucky being in the hills so the temperature under the trees is just about bearable, but even here nature is taking a beating. Hardly any sounds from the daytime cicadas any more, the noise of frogs and toads is sadly diminished, there are less varieties of butterfly around our flowers, less insects so less bats.
Back in UK it seems after constant rain and flooding you are now experiencing hot spells followed by heavy storms.
So as we watch our world slowly disintegrate why are governments criminalising peaceful demonstrators protesting against the permanent damage being done by by big oil and gas plus the banks and hedge funds that profit from our planet's loss.
Could it be that billionaires and their media are now so powerful and have sufficient funds to bribe, control or take over our governments instead of representing the needs, beliefs and interests of the majority of people particularly the young.
As a senior I would like to say that the young and old protestors have my support and hope that soon we can beat those who would kill off our diverse natural world and watch from their mansions, yachts and jets as the rest of us slowly burn
