I am on holiday now for a fortnight so I hope I will get back to my GTD way of life. I have lots to do in the time and I wonder whether GTD will get me nearer to completing the list than is the usual case.

I heard James Lovelock (Gaia) this morning saying that it is now too late to halt climate change due to CO2, but that we should be looking to mitigate the effects. Is he right?

He certainly appears to sense the mood of fatalism in the general public. It's going to happen anyway and there is nothing much we as individuals can do about it.

At 66 I will probably be not greatly affected, but my grandsons should be alive at the end of this century if a little aged. Will they make it and will life be worth living?
