I&rsquo;m being forced to the get the bus, where there are none. All while people in other countries burn the rainforests, hunt animals to extinction in the name of cash and dubious medical claims and this government builds another runway for Heathrow. Is it their right to destroy the planet? You want ME to stop global warming? On my own? When will people realise solving climate change and human rights are mutually exclusive?</p> http://stravaiger.com/blog/2007/10/24/global-warming-and-the-matterhorn/ Wed, 24 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0000 http://stravaiger.com/blog/2007/10/24/global-warming-and-the-matterhorn/ <p>Just discovered this superb website from Joe Simpson. I&rsquo;m a great fan of his writing so looking forward to reading all the articles. Read the <a href="http://www.noordinaryjoe.co.uk/article_7.asp" title="Joe Simpson On Surviving Till 40">article on reaching 40</a>. However, I read the <a href="http://www.noordinaryjoe.co.uk/article_10.asp" title="The Melting Mountains">article on global warming</a> with some alarm as he mentions huge rockfalls on the Matterhorn and climbing on the mountain actually being banned. I don&rsquo;t think it&rsquo;s banned now, must have been a temporary precaution. When I climbed the Matterhorn there was a fair amount of maybe grade II ice on the summit block and the only rockfall occurred the night before, while we were bivvying below the hut. In fact, you read all about it &lt;a href=&ldquo;<a href="http://stravaiger.com/stravaigings/matterhorn/index.php%22">http://stravaiger.com/stravaigings/matterhorn/index.php&quot;</a> title=&ldquo;Dial &ldquo;M&rdquo; For Matterhorn&rdquo;&gt;here</a>.</p>
