The wise and the foolish are all in the same boat to ride out the storm

"The fool has said in his heart, there is no God."  (Psalm 14 v 1)  Unfortunately, both wise and fools in the land have lived as though they can enjoy forever our finite reserves of oil and gas.  Both wise and fools live unnaturally on a natural planet.  We all carry on regardless.  Live it up today, as if there is no tomorrow!  We all live unsustainably.  We even thought Covid would never come to the UK, so there was little, if any preparation.  And, certainly, no preparation for short supplies of the very stuff of life - coal, oil and gas - and even timber as it gets burnt in forest fires and stoves.  We ALL live as fools.  Not just the ungodly like me!

At least, prepare to ride out the storm, for goodness sake!

PREPARE BY, we can lockdown for Covid; we must now lockdown for Climate in 2021.

No flying and minimise car travel.  My promise to my insurance company is no more than 7,000 miles at 70 mpg in 2021.  And that, mainly for zero-carbon outside hill walking/cycling and sleeping in the car to save greenhouse gas emissions.  Rough it, to slow running out and patriotic climate action!
