Caught a bit of Hardtalk on BBC news yesterday, tough questioning to get at the truth. Rough gist of some I heard........ Interviewing a bloke in Greenland - population 54,000, 80% Inuit.......
Q:- Is the receding ice affecting your way of life now you can't go out on it to hunt.
A:- Yes, I think our young people will not learn how to hunt.
Q:- It's serious for you then.
A:- Well no, we can fish for longer now.
Q:- It must have affected the village.
A:- Yes, we went down to 32 people with some leaving but we're back up to 50 now and new houses are being built.
Q:- With higher temperatures and the ice reducing on the land, that must have an affect.
A:- Yes, we can now grow our own vegetables instead of having to import them, also geologists can work. Gold and Silver has been found and they think that we have 1/3rd of the world's gas and 1/6th of the world's oil.
Q:- Doesn't that worry you, drilling and mining.
A:- Nope
Q:- But supplying more oil will only contribute to more CO2 which has caused the warming (his conditioning showing), doesn't that worry you.
A:-Nope. I don't think he got what he was looking for....
Gorse Fox had to chuckle - it's fun when the grand inquisitors don't get the answers they want.
