Errr two. Age:
35, when I started working on Stupid. Actual job:

Sleeping is one of the things I do best. Few things disturb my sleep. Climate change is one of those things. Jet, jeep, bus or bike:
All except jets, I've given up flying. Oh and my driving comes in the form of the Smart Fortwo diesel, at 90 grams CO2 per kilometre, it's the lesser of many evils. Are you bored yet? Original Age of Stupid connection:
Worked with Franny in the woods at oneworld.net for a few months a long time ago Memorable Age of Stupid moment:
I love Jamila leaning out of the taxi singing. Scared of:
Flooding, food shortages, social disintegration, positive feedback loops... this nightmare bearing out, and especially for my children. Guilty of:
Having an aga. Apart from being terribly 'country life', you can't turn the thing off at night. Climate change silver bullet:
April fools! Life outside Age of Stupid:

If we smarten up. Also invests/spends/wastes money on:

Quietly confident. Planning to spend Age of Stupid windfall on:
Will there be anything to spend money on when we all start doing something about climate change. Stuff done:

Quotes:
- The scientific consensus linking climate change to man made emissions is roughly the same as the scientific consensus linking lung cancer and smoking.
