I hope the Climate Activists are proud of the effect their lies are having on the younger generation

Roger B

If this survey is real the messages these young people are receiving are completely wrong.

We need to reduce our impact on our planet but CO2 is a complete red herring. The current ECS (temperature increase for a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere) is centred around 3°C (IPCC AR6). The 2°C will destroy civilisation is simply made up.

    A mandocello by Paul Hathway. I often capo it up to the 7th fret so I can play it like an octave mandolin. I have a mandolin by him also. But mostly I play flute (simple-system, wooden). Amongst other things, I find the breathing discipline important for mind as well as body. I have a Lejeune, a deKaiser, and a Williams, as well as a loaner unknown-DDR-maker B flute using the Koch/Meyer key design. Before all that I was a fiddler. Still am, I suppose - must try it again sometime….. for now, I am just hoping that my fingers don't all fall off at once.

    The picture is by Suzanne Austin, a wonderful local portraitist and quondam band member. 

     

    Wonderful, Paul's a lovely guy, I've visited his amazing house / workshop / showroom a few times (so much in such a small space), he and his wife are friends of my sister (so we've also had some pleasant evenings in the pub!). Hoping to get a bit of spare cash some time so I can commission him to build an instrument for me one day. I've never quite got on with teardrop shaped bodies so all my instruments have guitar shaped bodies, which does tend to confuse people, particularly guitarists who pick them up without looking carefully and then realise they have the “wrong” number of strings… I am currently plotting to acquire (via a bit of re-engineering) a guitar bodied mandocello, I was a bass player for many years, and I do like the lower pitch. 

    Cheers, Andy
