Truth be told I’m at a loss over what to write about what is happening in Glasgow. As a half-assed political blogger, the conference there is the obvious subject for blog entries at the moment. Yet I have no special perspective on environmental issues: I’m just as concerned about it as anyone else, of course, and wholeheartedly support the efforts to cut emissions and save the environment. Yet, as much as I love nature and natural history programs, conferences like this don’t really get my juices going as a blogger. I don’t feel there’s all that much I can contribute to the debates. So if I tend to veer away from the Cop conference over the next two weeks, forgive me: it isn’t that I’m not interested or don’t care; more a matter of just letting the politicians in Glasgow get on with it.
