Theatre of the Absurd Roundup: For the Leftist, is a Weird, Weird, Weird World By James Reed
As my alcoholic father used to say; you have to laugh or you would cry. I could say more on tht topic, but, maybe a treat for another day. Anyway, there are my absurdities for this week, and we are only half way through it.
We have climate change princess, if not queen now, getting an honorary doctorate in theology from The University of Helsinki! As David Strom said over at HotAir, “Climate Change is a religion. We all know that.” Climate change for the Left is a new religion, so making it now Dr Greta Thunberg, makes perfect sense, in an absurdist kind of way.
Equally absurd is the move of councillors in Cambridgeshire, to have hundreds of trees in an orchard designated as a habitat of principal importance in England, chopped down so that a new bus way to tackle climate change can be built. No matter that the felling of the trees would be a substantial carbon producing act, let alone destroying biodiversity, and the left are supposed to care about such things. Was there no other way?
We await the return of the King.
“Hundreds of trees in an orchard designated as a habitat of principal importance in England should be felled to build a new busway to tackle climate change, councillors in Cambridgeshire voted on Tuesday.
The county council voted by 33 to 26 to approve a new public transport busway, which will use optically guided electric or hybrid buses on its route, to provide links between Cambridge and Cambourne, an expanding new town eight miles outside the city.
Huge public opposition to the felling of trees in Coton Orchard has led to thousands of people signing a petition calling for them to be saved. Coton Orchard contains about 1,000 trees and grows 26 varieties of apples, as well as pears and plums.
The vote came a week after Plymouth city council felled more than 100 mature trees in a scheme to regenerate and “transform” the city with a new walkway from the sea to the city centre.
Anna Gazeley, whose family owns Coton Orchard and who is part of the Coton Busway Action Group against the threatened destruction of part of the orchard, addressed councillors in Cambridgeshire on Tuesday. She said: “Traditional orchards are hotspots of biodiversity in the countryside, supporting a wide range of wildlife as well as an array of nationally rare and nationally scarce species.”
