Biggest earthquake for 25 years - that'll be the planet killing 4x4s

It is only a matter of time before last night’s five point something on the Richter scale is blamed on too many 4x4s denting the earth.
Perhaps at lunchtime today when someone from Radiohead, a popular music ensemble with lyrics of an unintelligible nature and a professional scaremonger from Greenpeace try to convince Euro MPs to sign up to some new climate change pantomime called the Big Ask.
Needless to say all the blame goes on cars and aeroplanes again.
Two things. Don’t go inviting Brussels into anything, it will cost a fortune an all end in a series of fat lunches.
And at greater length... Samuel Pepys bemoaned the lack of ice festivals on the Thames which ceased to freeze as we moved away from the little ice age.
Before that there were Romans growing vines in Durham, a region not noted these days for its balmy weather.
There may well be evidence that the climate is warming up. There are many possible reasons. One is simply cyclonic change. That, however, cannot be turned into some vegan, bean-feasting class war. So it has not become an industry. It’s in the hands of God and he is not so fashionable among idealists these days.
He does, however and figuratively speaking, have much to say in such things as earthquakes.
And, as we exercise the vanity of man, thinking we are the ultimate force and running around shouting ban the car, buy a bike, we should not forget it.
