The Passenger, rat, phanerozoic CO2, chocolate

why dont I remember this scene?

The Passenger. (Profession Journalist) At the Chauvel. An odd sensation, knowing that hardly any of the audience can have seen it before. Locked up by Jack Nicholson, for 30 years. Maria Schneider stars as an architecture student. I saw it in 1975 with an architecture student who was, if anything, more beautiful than Maria S. Died a couple of years ago. My first really great sex. plein du chien. One of her houses featured in a NZ architecture book. She became a University professor. I came out to a rainy Paddington night. Found myself about to step in front of traffic. No Suicidal ideation, just stepping in front of traffic. Quick Napolitana pizza & couple of Scotch & hes back on the bike. I reckon the movie will create no stir. The last of the New Wave. The end of the cultural rev. A door closes. People now will see and say 'so what?'. It wont affect.

I believe I have a rat. Something heavier than a mouse in my kitchen. I sleep near on a foam slab. Hate rats. Ginger, the local tom, came by this morning. I said 'rats' and he dived beneath the stove where the rodents enter. Gotta love cats.

Ortega rules in Nicaragua. Justice at last. Or it will be when Ollie North is racked, with hooks in his flesh dragging out his last nerves.

Global warming gallery.
Its fairly clear that CO2 is lower now than its ever been. Pre-Cambrian, the world may have been chilly, but in the last 500 Myears its usually been hotter, with way more CO2.
In the last 5 or 10 million years we've been bumping along a cold bottom. More CO2 and a warmer word seem like good things.
Problem is we are locked into a grass-seed agriculture, and the rate we're burning those fossil-carbon stores is so high that plant biomes may not cope.
If the grasses wither, its a hungry time. Eventually after a few million years, new species will presumably arise to replace the current lot, which we are poised to eliminate.
Its gonna be a bleak million years but.

In the meantime, cheer up with chocolate
