Denying the obvious leads to Chinese food with a citrus finish.

Here is some set theory for you: The set of people who deny climate change is contained in the set of people who deny the holocaust.

Venn diagram

There aren't many people who deny the holocaust, but when we find one, it is good to point them out and laugh at them and call them names. But such people exist and just like creationists and physicists, they have their deep set beliefs and no amount of arguing can change their mind.

Similarly there are people who deny that the climate is changing. Just to confuse matters, there is another group of people who accept the climate is changing, but reckon it is nothing to do with them throwing away tonnes of trash each year, eating beef, flying all over the world and driving an SUV. Both these groups of people are led to the conclusion that because they aren't causing climate change, they don't need to try to stop it.

But which is worse? It seems to me that letting holocaust deniers roam the earth isn't a good thing, it will lead to hatred and antisemitism. However denying that we are fucking with the environment every time we buy a (plastic) punnet of strawberries from Kenya, and drive the home to eat them is a whole lot more serious. And ultimately will cause many more people to die than the holocaust ever did.

In other news I had some nice Chinese food this week. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos, and I don't remember many of the dishes, but I know we avoided all the scary things like intestines and sea cucumber. There was something from a mountain, there was "get back in the pot pig pork" and some incredibly spicy chicken dish. As well as slow cooked pork leg, spicy crispy beef and prawn gunk on mushrooms. The highlight of the meal was the lazy susan, which provided endless entertainment.

Oh, and I still have internet, but who can tell what the future holds. We live in uncertain times.
