Where Is Our Global Warming ??????

Today was a holiday, part of the September Weekend. Saturday and Sunday were sunny, but hardly hot. Today it has not stopped raining, there was a strong cold wind blowing, strong enough to bring
branches down, and it will continue like this for the next few days. We have the heating on tonight.
My fruit trees have produced 4 apples in total on one tree. The other - nothing. And the berry bushes zilch.
Where is the Global warming we have been "threatened" with? Where is the proof for the justification for the onslaught of green taxes which have driven up the costs of just about everything we use? My flight to America next month costs more in taxes and  conservation fees that exceed  the actual ticketcost!!!
Enough is enough  already! Give it up. Tell us you are wrong. Take away the green taxes. And if the temperature rises??? Hooray!
The fact is the climate is controlled by factors beyond human control, principally the Gulf Stream and Solar activity.
The world has cycles of weather and climate changes. It is nature. We are being fleeced by powerful organisations who have no interest in anything save the acquisition of Global Power. And our Governments are under their sway.

So on a cold wet day we drove south a bit to Lanark and Biggar. En route we stopped at Craignathen Castle, the last purpose built fortress to be constructed in Scotland. Of that more in another blog.

Tomorrow it is back to school. We had an inset day on Thursday during which we kept our coats on because the school was so cold - no heating till the end of October. We were chilled!
I nearly got my smart board working. The technicians came to fit the projector, but sadly the fittings installed are the wrong ones. They will return another day........aye....right. I have a little under 3 weeks left in the school. Will my room have its projector before I leave?

I have an uncarpeted room - no money: no blinds on the windows - no money - which means that even if the smart board works, it faces the naked windows. If the sun shines it will be useless. And the smart board is an infant one, small and at low level!! It would be nice if class teachers were consulted in the design of classrooms.

I have a mixture of various tables that do not match up. Ditto the children's seats. I have no proper chair nor a desk. The childrens's trays are piled up 3 high on a worksurface, beside the single computer. How do you cover ICT for 32 children with 1 computer?

If another Government Minister says anything about Teachers having an easy life and having to be prepared to work longer hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
