Its is strange but all the complaints about activities adding to global greenhouse gases seem to have ignored the 5th of November celebrations with the masses of bonfires and fireworks. This is only an annual tradition but one has to ask whether it really has any meaning in the modern world more than 400 years after a failed gunpowder plot. It seems an odd way to celebrate an ancient event by adding to a modern problem. Thus spake the grumpy.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues.
