Snowing here again! I think it's safe to say that the climate is screwed. That's another year that we've had our Winter in March-April. Twenty years ago, it was February-March. I don't think I've seen a proper Winter, i.e. December time, since the 70's, and even then it was only around 6 inches of snow. My father tells tales of six feet of snow, back when he was a lad.While the problem is clearly global, apparently there are some very severe contibutors here in Moray. The local newspaper had an article in it this week on the subject, which made rather odd reading. I'd like to tell you just what it was about, but to be honest it didn't make that much sense. Apparently, Moray is doing more damage to the environment than any other Scottish county, despite being sparsely populated. The article reported some scientists claims, that it wasn't Carbon Dioxide emissions causing the damage, but excess heat being produced. That was odd enough, but then it gave a specific location, the area of 99 High Street, Elgin.
I wondered what there could be in that vicinity which would produce more heat than anywhere else in Scotland! It turns out that the area is mainly occupied by an empty building. So unless, there's some major geo-thermal activity going on there, something truly bizarre is afoot, and I want to know what it is. The truth will out as they say, and when I find out what the mysterious super-heat source is, you'll be the first to know! I'd also like to know who this so called "scientist" is, how exactly he pin-pointed the source of the heat, and why the budding Sherlock Holmes having got that far, can't work out precisely what's causing it!
