Yes we certainly have had some change over the years, Hannibal and his elephants were rumoured to have crossed the alps to conquer was it Asia, now to cross the alps with elephants one would have had to have a mimimum of snow which at the point he was rumoured to have crossed has definately not been the case for many a year. The Thames at London used to freeze over and yet only 20 years before, the Chilterns, which are only 20 miles from London, was a large wine growing region and grapes need lots of sun and hot weather to grow well.

Now as to recycling explain this one for me. We need lots of trees to hoover all the CO2 that we produce from all those gas guzzlers in the States and all those coal fired power stations in China and yet we are told to recycle paper. Where does paper come from, why trees of course, so if we recycle paper by dunking it in chemicals to get rid of the ink and then wash and heat it in even more chemicals to whiten it as no one would buy brown recycled paper, then surely there will be less demand for paper and by consequence less trees will be grown so even by more consequence less trees to hoover up all that bad CO2 ?

Just maybe we don't yet fully understand what mother nature is throwing at us.
