Something Very Silly for Today.
After a very depressing evening listening to [Iconoclasts](http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/programmes/iconoclasts/”Iconoclasts”) on BBC Radio 4 in which Bjorn Lomborg was questioned by a group of climate change experts and emerged as charming but somewhat vacuous, and the scale and imminence of climate change was laid out again and again (especially by Green MEP Caroline Lucas, who I thought was very good), I needed cheering up. My friend Nadia sent me a link to [this](http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-176366467376692365&q=permaculture”Permaculture”), which is very silly indeed, and is either a sign of permaculture entering the mainstream, or running screaming in the opposite direction (or possibly neither, or both). Anyway, it is very silly, and put a smile on my face.
