From: Colin Richardson, Brandesburton.
THE other evening, I enjoyed watching a programme on TV about The
Earth’s Enchanted Islands. The island in particular was Japan’s northernmost
island Hokkaido.
Part of the programme explained that while attached to the
northern mainland the animals migrated south.
Global warming took place causing the sea to rise and Hokkaido
became an island
and the bears, cranes etc remained and thrived despite
the
extreme weather conditions.
What remains unclear to me and hopefully to all the experts,
academics, environmentalists and Greens who contribute regularly to
your
letters page is “how many fossil fuel power stations, lorries, cars and herds of
cattle were around at the time of this happening?”
(A great question. My grandfather was born in
Brandesburton so it must be a village which breeds great
minds.)
