On 17 Jan, I linked to an article in The Independent written by James Lovelock concerning the world environment. On 27 Jan, I linked to an Opinion piece by Boris Johnson on assisted suicide – a powerful piece of writing it was. And now today, Mr Johnson turns his gaze toward the environment and comes up with an philosophy / idea I’d not considered before. (He does use some big words though !).
Kneeling before the skies
“Gaia is the Earth herself; she is Mother Nature; she taps her foot in ever-growing impatience at the antics of our species; and, according to Professor Lovelock, she is about to exact the most terrifying punishment for our excesses. She is about to get carboniferous on our ass.”
I love that piece.
Boris Johnson is an ass but I can’t help liking him 🙂
Oh Boris rules. He’s one of the few polititians I trust, and he’s a Tory!
Mostly because he’s not afraid to speak his mind. Which is all too rare these days…
