BBC email

Took dogs out 3 times Sunday. Managed to watch Heaven and Earth and Countryfile. Emailed Heaven and Earth. Emailed BBC with the following on 20/07/2007 :-
The time of Fire
A long time ago I was born. A few people noticed. My parents, their friends and the neighbours. A hospital was involved as well, which was the way of things in the time and country I was born in. I was fed and cared for and grew. I learned. Sometimes quickly at other times at a gradual pace. Maybe I choose what I wanted to do but all I can remember is that by 8 years old I was angry. Angry with everything I saw and everything that was being done to me. So I did something. It was only a little thing and it hardly registered. I broke a window. A window in a Church on the estate where I was born and then I began a long journey seeking an answer to 1 question. It was a question many people had asked and believed they had answers for but none had been right.
How do you save the world?
I looked in many places. Hospitals, prisons, factories and a few colleges I found answers to things along the way I didn't expect and problems not yet known. I listened and read and talked but most of all I thought. I lived through times that changed at a pace not seen before. I lived though wars, famine and flood. I have waited for a time when words can fly and encircle the globe and people would be prepared to listen. Years have passed and I grow cold from the fight.
The time of Ice.
The years now talk of polar ice caps, forests and deserts. Tales of loss and destruction far greater than ever known during humanities history. Circling the globe a truth at last being heard. Yet no answer has yet come from a single leader as to how countries must prepare. Switch your TV off standby and you'll be able to save the planet. This foolish idea cannot stop a flood, inundation from the sea or feed you when crops fail. Worse case scenario options need to be considered and solutions explored. These scenarios need to include sea level rises in 5 to 15 years of up to 3 metres. Global weather pattern extremes 2 to 3 times current norms which would include temperatures to exceed current by up to 6 degrees in this time period. Global agriculture production to plummet by up to 60% over a sustained number of years.
The time of Water
One of the key important factors in global warming is water vapour. For Europe to have extremely high cloud formation during peak solar radiation yearly cycle is adding billions of therms of latent heat to the water system. This is catastrophic. If this happens globally for more than 2 years then the implication is that climate change has gone exponential and all current models will be inaccurate. Events predicted to take decades will take years.

Was going to publish on website a few days before when I finished it.
Got dogs to vets at 11.40 and came away with more paste for runs and antibiotics. Got home and gave first dose with some chicken and rice. Had fish, cheese sauce and brown bread and butter for dinner. Watched news 24 all day about floods until soaps came on. Fed dogs and more medicines at 7.45. Only managed to get dogs out on the green all day because of the almost constant rain. Eased off about 6pm. Will make up for it tomorrow while Ang visits flat we might be doing an exchange with. It’s over 2 hours drive away and her friends driving her. Thankfully not near any of the floods.
