All Gore was welcomed as some kind of hero by SATV programmes, while wild statements by supposedly leading reporters made me cringe. This includes assertions that South Africa was one of the top atmospheric “heat polluters” – contrary to statistical material freely available on internet – and that we should all join in “to fight against climate change.”

There is no voice of dissent about the assumption in the local media that PEOPLE caused the change and must change it back to what it was. Even the South African Department of Environmental Affairs have jumped on the bandwagon with a TV ad blaring out warmers’ unproven truths.

The event also shows up demonstrators as mostly people with some mental baggage, as they act on assumptions – even go as far as demonstrating on a beach with their heads in holes in the sand “like ostriches”! An ostrich cannot put it head in the sand and will suffocate if it tried. When leadin wild dogs or other animals of prey away from a clutch of chicks, the will run away and hide by flopping down with legs and neck outstretched in an effort to camouflage themselves amongst the natural scrub of their environment – and often succeeding! If demonstrators (and some reporters reporting on this event) accept this hogwash about ostriches, they may well be the natural prey of Climategate’s Phil and co.

I plead for some clear thinking in the media to educate people, but this maybe dreaming of Easter Eggs pecking – fear sells much better and to hell with facts…..

Mooi Loop! Sala Gahle! Via con Dios! Go Well!
